THE ROAD SINKING.
Mercer Slough Swallows a
Mouthful of the Belt Line.
RAILS ARRIVE FOR THE ROAD.
President Dunham's Plans-The Rainier
Power Company's Proposed Lines
Railroad Notes.

The difficulty of making roadbed for
the Belt line across Mercer slough has not
been entirely overcome, as was proved yes
terday morning. It was discovered that
about fifty feet of the embankment, which
had been thrown up on . foundation OF
10xf2-inch timbers sixty feet long, had
sunk about fifteen feet below the surface OF
the slough, bending with it the great tim
bers so that only the ends appeared above
the surface. Work will be renewed and
new timbers placed over the submerged
bank as a beginning for new enlbank-
lnent On the south side of the slough
brush has been spread as foundation for
the embankment as far as the point where
the trestle begins. This trestle viii cross
the middle of the slough and viii be about
200 feet long. 1t will be built on i00-ioot
piles, which are longer than any ever used
In this section. There are two other
small swamps south of Mercer slough, on
one OF which the bank also sank.
Twenty-three miles Of rails for the Belt
Line have arrived and were unloaded at
Renton yesterday. This is enough for the
main line, exclusive of sidings. Track
laying will not begin before the end of
February or the beginning of March, as the
contractors have only just begun making
big nil 800 feet long half a mile north of
the Cedar river bridge. With this excep-
ton, the grade is ready from Black river
junction to Mrs. Colman's farm, a distance
of SIX miles, and northward from Mrs.
Colman's 10 Mercer slough, a distance of
four miles. Work is delayed on the Col
man farm by an appeal of the railroad to
the supreme court from the award OF the
Jury in the condemnation suit.

HE WILL TAKE A REST.
President Durham Going East-He May
Give Up RaiIroading.

President 4. S. Durham, of the Seattle,
lake Shore d Eastern railroad, leaves to-
day for the East for four or five weeks
vacation. He is suffering from nervous
prostitution caused by too close attention
TO business and has been ordered by his
physicians to take a period of complete
rest. He will first pay visit to his father
in Iowa and then go to the principal East
ern cities. He will be accompanied from
here by L. W. Getchell, who goes to New
York to consult the best physicians in re-
gard to the injuries he suffered in the Lake
Iabish railroad wreck. He is rapidly re-
covering his strength and hopes to be
fully restored to health in a month or two
Mr.. Durham has had q dattering offer
of n position on an Eastern railroad in
case the impending change in the manage
u8cut of the Lake Shore should involve his
retirement. 1t is not likely that he will
accept it, however, for he has large per-
sonai interests around Seattle which tie
him TO this section. 1t is understood
that the Northern Pacific officials
would like to retain him in charge of the
Lake Shore road after the transfer of stock
has taken place. IT the Lake Shore con-
Times to be operated under a distinct or
ganization, it will be necessary to have a
general manager, and this position might
tempt Mr.. Durham, but, if the road is
totally absorbed into the Northern Pacific
system, the highest position on it will be
that of division superintendent, and will
not be any inducement to him.
The executive duties of Mr. Dunham's
office will probably be performed in his alb
sence by John Craig, the general auditor.

AGAINST COMPULSORY PILorAGE.
Bill of Representative WATSON Is OPP
posed in Seattle.


posed in Seattle.
Representative WATSON. of Jefferson
county, has introduced at Olympia a bill
for the creation of a board of pilot COM
missioners, vested with powers to make
rules for the government of pilots on Puget
sound, and nix pilotage rates. 1t is stated
that American vessels entering British
Columbian ports take British pilots or else
pay half pilotage. The old law here leaves
1t TO the discretion of the master whether
he shall take pilot, but Mr.. Wasson's bill
retaliates upon the British by compelling
them to take pilot or pay half pilotage
In regard to this bill Richard Chilcott
has written from Port Blakeley to the Seat
tie Chamber of Commerce, saying:
This is matter that interests everybody that
sound. compulsory pilotage law imposes a
direct tax on shipping that in this case is
imposition In order to enable Puget sound TO
compete with British Columbia in the export OF
coal and lumber and with the Columbia river in
the export OF wheat. 1t behooyes the shipping
and commercial people to keep the expenses of
ships coming to our ports at the lowest possible
figures.
We have circulated remonstrance to the bill

Puget Mill Company, the Port Blakeiey Mill Com
pany, all the ship captains who happen TO be in

railroad DISCRIMINATION Forbidden.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 2S.-The inter-
state commerce commission today de-
cided the case of the New York Board of
Trade and transportation companies
against the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and twenty-eight other railroad
companies, involving the question of dis
ordinations made and preferences given
to foreign merchandise shipped upon
through bills of lading from foreign ports
10 points of destination in the United
States, or ports of entry in foreign coun-
try adjacent 10 the United States, over
other and similar merchandise carried
from such ports of entry to such points of
destination in the United States The
complaint was sustained by a decision
against the Texas Pacific, Iron Mountain,
Louisville. New Orleans & Texas. Illinois
Central, Wabash. Southern Pacific, Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific. Baltimore &
Ohio, Lehigh Valley, Canadian Pacific and
Grand Trunk of Canada and each of them
was ordered TO forthwith cease and desist
from such practice, the order to take effect

A QUICK BOAT TO VICTORIA.
Talk OF Steamer Making a One Day
Round Trim.

There is some talk of new route being
established between Tacoma and Victoria,
and one steamer put on, making the round
trip every twenty-four hours. Mr. Bald
win, agent of the Union Pacific line, yes
terday told a PosT-IyTELIIGENcER reporter
that he thought such a route would be a
very good paying one from the fact that a
fast steamer could leave Tacoma and take
in Seattle, Port Townsend, Anacortes and
Bellingham bay, and stop long enough at
Victoria to enable passengers TO transact
considerable business and return within the
twenty-four hours, and it would immedi-
ately secure a large patronage, as most
people do not like to lose more than one
day on the round trip. He had no intima-
ton. however. that his company contem-
plated the establishment of such a route
But he had no doubt but what some COM
pany would see the advantage of it before
long. And if his company decided to make
the experiment, the steamer t. J. Potter
or the Olympian, would probably be put
on the run, as either one could make it
without difficulty
1t is thought the steamer Premier may
be put on the route by the Canadian Pa
chic company, If the much talked-of trans
fer of this steamer TO the Alaska Steam
ship Company is not conSummated.
The general impression is that better
time will have 10 be made by water, and a
better class of steamers employed in order
to compete successfully with railroads on
the Northern routes

UPPER SOUND COUNTRY.
Indications That Northwest Washington
Is Going to the Front.

Mr.. Arthur Lee was in the city yester-
day Mr.. Lee has been up through the
Skagit valley region, and paid Anacortes a
visit. He is most emphatic in his praise
OF that country, and says he does not at all
wonder at the activity in railroad building
IN that region and the steady growth of its
seaport, Anacortes. II have noticed -
said he, that your Seattle papers have,
from time TO time, announced various
events in the opening of mines and of rail-
road connections being made in that re-
gion, and you would be surprised if YOU
collected those facts and put them in a
group. 1t would demonstrate that men
ana corporations OF vast capital are striv-
ing to gain advantage in that section,
knowing that its wealth and the develop
ment sure to follow their inaugural efforts
will pay them more than q thousand fold
III very few years. Take for example
the railroad building, and the announce
ments OF the past few days are
surprising. There is the completion of
the Seattle & Northern to Hamilton Satur-
day, which means that the coal and iron
mines at that place will be worked to their
fullest Capacity and the product shipped to
Anacortes. Then there was the announce
ment that the Great Northern, when COM
pieted to the Sound. will be the shortest
route by 80 miles of any transcontinental
route, and will open up large area of I'M
anu
lands. Already the company has opened
for traffic 162 miles of its new short line ex-
tension to the Pacific coast. Supplies are
being concentrated for vigorous work
That means that the Great Northern will
soon ind Puget sound terminus at Ana
cortes. Then there was the announce
ment that the Northwestern Railroad
Company will begin operations in about
two months. This road trayerses the rich
Skagit country, with . terminus at Ana
cortes. Then again the statement that the
Eairhayen & Southern and the New West
minister Southern will be formally con-
nected at Blaine January 81. This means
that the Canadian Pacific will be running
into Anacortes next month. Then there
is the report regarding the Northern Pacific
short line from Spokane; the designs OF the
Union Pacific on the Skagit and its sea-
port city, to say nothing of announcements
of the opening of the Blue Canyon coal
mines and the new railroad spurs of the
Northern Pacific, the extension of the
Lake Shore and the work OF opening up
more fully the asbestos, graphite, iron and
lead and silver mines of that region. ALI
the farm land owners, too, are improving
and cultivating their lands to such an ex-
tent that during the past year farm pro-
ducts have been more than doubled, and
Skagit county is now at the head of the
agricultural counties of the state. 4 trip
TO the region and to its commercial center
would surprise you, if you kept your eyes
open. The Upper Sound country must, in
a few years, have a great commercial CEN
ter, and that city will be Anacortes. at the
entrance TO the Sound, on Eidalgo island
