tion is Full Of Hope.
Mr.. A. F. Walker, of Chicago chairman of the
western Traffic Association, arrived in the city
yesterday by a special car of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST Paul railroad. He had with him
his wife, family and one or two friends. The
whole party took luncheon at the Rainier hotel.
The Western Traffic association, as Is well
known, ia union of all lines west OF Chicago
and st. Louis. The objects are to prevent dis
elimination, rate cutting and other such prac-
tees.
In speaking OF the railroads Mr.. Walker said
yesterday: "Your roads of the Northwest are
showing wonderful surprise in extending their
branches through this country and developing
its resources. You owe to these roads more than
most of the people realize
1.-THE general situation of the roads of the
West and the outlook for business is much bet
ter than ii was last year at this time There
have been abundant rains in Kansas, Nebr aska
and the Dakotas, so that there is every prospect
of abundant crops. This means a much larger
amount OF freight to be moved, and consequent
prosperity for the roads.
'The lake and rail routes from Chicago to the
seaboard seem on the ragged edge and rate
war may break out at almost any time. You
know that when the lake aud canal route TO the
Atlantic is opened there is always more or less
friction with railroads, and rate wars are likely
to follow
cucn wars are most disastrous to the puDnc
patronizing the roads. for the cutting ursets all
values. man may buy large stock of wheat
or coal, but cut in rates may within few days
render his stock a loss, because a rival who has
obtained lower rates may be able to undersell
him.
1.-THE Western Traffic Association is intended
to put an end to these wars. There is, of course,
comparatively little trouble except at points
where roads begin to compete for business.
Tbnr, ors,,
and wrong classifcating. road will wink at
snch receptions in order to secure traffic from
rival"

THE CABLE TREsTLE.
Proposal to Have Sidewalk From
Yesler Avenue.

Proposal to Have Sidewalk From
Yesler Avenue.
At the meeting of the board of public works
yesterday the session was almost entirely con-
sumed by the reading of the usual bids for sup
plies, most of which were referred for compari-
son.
The most generally interesting topic was the
extension of Yesler avenue along the trestle of
the cable company. Mr.. A. f. Burleigh, accom-
panied by Superintendent Haas, appeared on be-
half of the road.
Mr.. Burleigh said the Seattle City Railway
Company had received a letter from the board
as to the trestle on Yesler avenue, and the pos
sible injury to foot passengers. The company
could not fence it as 1t was needed for purposes
OF traffic. But as people will go on
there, he proposed that the city
build a sidewalk for their accommodation.
The street is only graded to point 800 feet west
from low water mark at the lake. If the city
would build sidewalk along the trcstle, over
the priyete property, the company will contrib
ute by continuing 1t for the remaining seventy
five feet over the property of the company.
1t was resolved to appoint Major Rinehart
committee of one to inquire into all the phases
of the matter.
Bids were received from Grace hospital and
Providence for the care of the city's sick Grace,
80 cents per head Providence, % cents per head
The contract was awarded to Grace.
