He Wanted a Garnet

About l:30 this morning Officer
Sloan saw a man sneaking down Nc
Kenzie avenue near Tenth with a large
bundle. He followed him until he
turned Off on Eighth and disappeared.
A few moments latter he reappeared on
Seventh, but without any bundle. The
officer hid in the shadow of doorway
and soon saw the fellow on Eighth
again, this time with his burden.
Sloan is pretty nimble with his legs
and he started after the thief at "a lively
gait, but the fellow dropped his bundle
between Mckenzie and Larrabee and
escaped. The bundle was carpet,
containing about twelve yards, some
what worn but still pretty good. The
owner may obtain ii at the Mill avenue

California Not In It

Mr.. c. w. Waldron returned yester-
day from a two weeks California trip.
1t was his first visit to the Golden
State, the resources, scenic attractions
and climatic advantages of which he
had long desired to compare with
Washington. He visited all the large
cities and viewed the country with a
critical eye from the SHOWS of the Sis
kiyous to the orange groves of the
southern valleys. His first objective
point was San Francisco, of course.
Almost everybody goes there first, ex-
cept the pilgrims who enter the state
from the south, and are glad enough to
rest at Los Angeles or San Diego, after
crossing the dreary Arizona desert.
"There are great many idle men in
San Francisco" said Mr.. Waldron to a
HERALD reporter last evening.
"Almost every branch of industry
seems to be overdone. Wheat and bar
ley, the principal cereals raised, are
not likely to yield more than half
an ordinary crop this year, and great
deal of fruit was injured by early frosts.
Thousands of bushels Of oranges are
dropping from the trees and rotting in
the fields. The country is very beau
tiful, there is no doubt about that, but
all things considered it is not to be COM
pared with Washington. A little
travel to the south Of the Columbia
basin and east of the Rockies is won

sources and advantages of this state.
Washington Is good enough for me,

this particular portion Of it,"

NOT A SEPARATE DIVISION
Northern Pacific Announces Absorption
of Lake Shore Road

Northern Pacific Announces Absorption
of Lake Shore Road
The final absorption Of the Seattle,
Lake Shore e. Eastern railroad into the
Northern Pacific system has been car
ried out, as the following telegram from
st. Paul, the Northern Pacific head
quarters, announces. The Post-Intelli-
gencer says that instead of being made
new division, as was anticipated, IL
will, for the present at any rate, be
added to the Pacific division. 1t Is
probable that IL will ultimately be put
In charge of an assistant superintendent
or made "a distinct division. The teie-
gram is a. follows:
ST. PAUL. May 1.--BeRinning with to-
day the Seattle, Lake Shore q Eastern
will be merged with the Pacific division
Of the Northern Pacific system. Although
the road was acquired by the Northern
Pacific company some time ago, it was
never consolidated with the main system,
but was operated as an independent line.
The consolidation has caused certain
changes In the management and working
force OF the road and yesterday a majority
of the officials OF the Seattle. Lake Shore
e. Eastern found their old occupation
gone. The new appointments are as fol-
lows: |. A. Nadeau, general agent, with
headquarters at Seattle, and f. W. Ruff,
travelling freight agent, with beadquar-
ters at Tacoma.

A PROPOSITION ALL WOOL
Mr.. H. L. Burkhart Submits it
to the Chamber of Com
merce
A Subsidy of $25,o 900 in Lands
or Money is Wanted--Out-
line of the Project
c. w. Waldron Says California
is Not In 1t With Wash
ington

A well-attended meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce was held last evening
at the office of Frank j. Hamilton,
President Clark presiding. The most
important matter discussed was pro-
position submitted'by Hon. ii II. Burll-
hart, for the establishment of wooden
mill here to employ from forty 10 fifty
persons and involving cash outlay at
the outset for buildings, machinery, etc,
Of upwards of $4,000. Mr.. Burkhart
appeared before the chamber and after
being introduced to those of the MEM
bers present whom he had not previous
ly met, briefly explained the project.
He stated that he is associated with
two gentlemen of long experience in
the business, one of them having been
for twenty-five years the head of the
finishing department in the largest
wooden mill on the Pacific coast, and
the other for seven years the head of an
other department in the same mill hay
ing previously been employed for years
in one of the largest mills in England.
They are not only familiar with every
detail of the manufacture of woolens of
all grades, worsteds and cassimeres, but
have enjoyed exceptional opportunities
for studying the requirements of west
ern trade in particular, sources of wool
supply, cost of raw material and every
thing included i'm the expense of man.
ufacture. They ask as an inducement
for the location of their mill here
a land subsidy of $25, 900, based upon
fair valuations, to be determined by
mutual agreement or appraisement, no
part of the subsidy to be transferred
until the mill is in operation, and the
company agreeing as part of the con-
sideration to keep the mill i'm operation
for reasonable term Of years.
Mr. Burkhart is well known to a
number of the city's most prominent
and reputable citizens and i. Is worthy
of note that all of them are enthusiastic
supporters Of this project. The gentle
men interested have made careful
study of various places, particularly
with reference to transportation facili-
ties and cost of motive power, and are
satisfied that Fairhaven possesses ad-
vantages superior to those offered by
any other locality on the Sound. Mr..
Burkhart has been here several times
before, has property interests here, and
has great liking for and abundant
faith In the city.
The proposition was very favorably
received ard was referred to a commit
tee consisting of G. Y. Larrabee, G. w.
Waldron, II. l.. Dickinson, +. J. Ham
ilton, II. w. Gillette and J. NJ. Darling,
members of the chamber,I. n. Orchard
and Edward Connolly, who will at
once feel the pulse of the property own
ers with reference to the land subsidy.
Those who haven't lands to donate will
be permitted to give cash. The matter
should be vigorously pushed. The pro-
position is all wool and certainly wide
enough to merit the earnest considera-
tlon of every person interested in the
city's welfare.
