The valley street Railway.

The trustees of the Valley Street Railway Com
pany met yesterday morning at the Offices of the
lowing officers: President, John Rines: vice
president, Julius Horton; secretary, J. A. Gould !;
treasurer, l. w. Adams; general secretary, +.
IL. Whitworth-
Mr.. Whitworth, who will have the general
management of the enterprise, was instructed
10 proceed Immediately with surveys and report
at a trustees meeting on February d II was de-
cided 10 push the work just as rapidly as was
consistent with good construction and TO equip
the line throughout in a thoroughly frst-elass
manner. The route was settled upon from a
point at or near the White house, in almost
direct line 10 South Park. The question of the
route from Seattle 10 the White house was left 10
be decided at a future meeting. 1t was, how
ever. settled that the line would run from the
heart of Seattle 10 south Park.
The line viii be five and one half miles in
length and VIII run over grade SO easy that It's
operation by electricity will be a very easy mat
ter, and in point of safety and speed viii be an
ideal line. The construction ana equipment OF
such line will necessarily involve the expendi-
ture OF large amount OF money. The enter
prise is one backed by the property holders OF
that section, and no doubt is expressed that sill
who own property contiguous to the line Will
aid IL literally, and IN iact many property-hold-
ers have already responded.
After the adjournment of the trustees meet
ing those present took up and considered q
proposition from an Eastern gentlemen Tor the
erectionsoia large Touring mill al some point
on the river south of the city II was decided 10
offer substantial encouragement for the erection
OF such plant. The location OF the state uni
yersity on a eite owned by Mr. John Burns was
also discussed and liberal offer will be made to
the state with view 70 securing its location
there The incorporates and projectors OF the
Valley street railroad own and control miles %
water front on the Duwaffiish river, which
stream is nayigable, and large tracts OF land
suitable for manufactures, homes and townsite
purposes and il is proposed to do ell that is pos
sible 10 develop and bring out the south side OF
Seattle. The projectors of these enterprises
have ample means 20 carry out their plans.

Money for Reputation--Cort Con-
fesses Judgment-The Blottcr.

The statement Of Chairman Fred Gasch OF the
board OF county commissioners, TO the effect
that the judges of the superior court are idle for
a dH and hall or two days ont Of every week.
called forth Judge Lichtenbergs denunciation
yesterday. He said that he would not be so
tndelicate as to speak for the other two judges,
but he could speak for himself TO deny such a
statement, which be denounced as unwarranted
and false. 81 have not been idle for day and
half or two days week" said he, but seldom
idle for single day and even then more than
make up for lost time by the long hours OF
night work devote to cases under advisement.'
He denounced what he deemed impEtation
that he was not faithfully working and earning
his salary, and said that if the county commits
sioRers would attend 20 their duty and have a
proper place ia which to hold court, the judges
could do more work in the courthouse and would
not have 70 do so much of their labor at home.
