A Sure Cure for Unhappiness.

Many people bemoan the fact that they
are unable to visit the famous natural
wonders with which the earth abounds.
Much of this unhappiness would be i'm
possible if we would stop and enjoy what
is ready at our hand There is no place
on Gods footstool richer in natures
beauty spots than Seattle and vicinity.
You think of Niagara. Yosemite Falls. and
other places of this character which have
be,ome famous. Did you ever think that
within a short distance of the city where
you live there was q waterfall whose ro-
nance, grandeur and beauty has been de-
clared by many competent judges TO equal
anything of that kind in the known world
Don't then spend any more time in use
less complaints, but go with Trinity
church excursion next Saturday TO Sno-
quaimie Falls, and there for four hours
revel IN the wonder and wealth of nature.

HILL AND GOULD MAY BE ALLIES.

Traffic Agreement Probable Between
Great Northern and Missouri Pacific.
There Is said TO be a strong probability
that traffic alliance may be negotiated
between the Gould lines and James J.
Hills Great Northern railway system, and
that the two systems will be brought to-
gether in Sioux City, la.
Not long ago the Sioux City e. Northern
made a survey from Sioux City to Papil-
lion. The road now runs from Sioux City
north for distance of ninety-seven miles.
centering at Garvetson with the Great
Northern. 1t has also leased the Pacific
Short Line, which gives it bridge across
the Missouri. A Great Northern official
is quoted by the New York Recorder as fol-
lows on the subject:
While the Sioux City & Northern is apparently
an independent road. it is almost a certainty
thar ii is dominated by Hill, and, as a matter of
fact it Is being operated In connection with the
Great Northern for through trains between
Sioux S.,y and Minneapolis The maintenance
OF the separate organization seems to be a part
of Hills methods to mask his scheme until he
Is ready to put IL into operation. Not only has
that survey been made, but agents of the Sioux
City & Northern have quietly sought an en-
trance in Omaha and made estimate OF the
cost OF the right-of-way. Overtures have been
Hiduc w tAc 10 JUN al inc en-
terprise by extending its line part of the dis
lance toward Sioux City.
This sort of a deal would not only give the
Great Northern an entrance into the ST. Louis
territory but would carry with il an invaluable
ally. The old road has great network OF lines
IN the South and Southwest, and the other
spreads over the North and Northwest in a sim
liar manner At no other point would the two
systems come in contact, and there would be no
coniiSt citing interests to prevent strong friendly
alliarce. This proposition is still under consid-
Grafton by the Missouri Pacific.
Such an alliance would admit the pro-
ducts of Puget sound at through rates to
the whole Southwestern section, compris-
ing Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas
and Indian territory, a large part of
which states is treeless prairie and would
be a rich market for lumber from this
section. While the alliance of the Great
Northern with the Burlington system
will give the former entrance to the north
ern part of the prairie belt between the
Mississippi river and theRocky mountains.
an alliance with the Missouri Pacific will
let it into the southern part of that belt.
Thus these two alliances would give the
Great Northern a share of the traffic of the
whole stretch of country bounded on the
north by Canada, on the south by the
Gulf, on the east by the Mississippi and
on the west by the Rockies.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The Cofferdam Mt the Lake SAID to be
Useless.


The cofferdam at the Lake Washington
pumping station has proved failure, and
City Engineer Thompson yesterday asked
the board OF public works to be allowed to
borrow from the sewer tunnel one of the
pumps. so as to empty the coflerdam and
refine it. He complains that the construc-
ton Is so inferior that it will cost almost
as much to make it serviceable as the orig
inal outlay. 1t was also announced that
the Holly pump will DO ready for test in
about two weeks.
Commissioner Van Brocklin said there
was too much coal charged up; he thought
1T would be economy to hire man to
check off the coal; it would make a saving
of $500 a month
Superintendent Helms said the Repub-
llcan committee had asked permission TO
erect n stand on Pioneer place for ratiti-
cation meeting. The board granted per-
mission.
Trusten p. Dyer entered protest
against the action of the board in es-
tablishing a new grade for Fifth street,
between Pontius and Mary streets, in
Pontius addition. He said he was sur
prised at the board taking up the matter
again, as an agreement had once been en-
tered into for the grade once established,
and which the contractors are now work
ing under. He said it would compel the
property-owners to fight the matter in the
courts. Major Rinehart said it was the
council and not the board that established
grade. The grade recommended by the
engineer was not binding on the council,
Major Rinehart said, and the property
owners could appear before the council.
the final adjuster of the matter. He said
the board acted on the advice of the cor
poration counsel and the city engineer.
A petition was received asking for the
opening up of a road along Richard, Sears,
Spokane to Cambridge avenue, Kill
bourne. Mr.. Cummings said he had some
men out there making the present road
way passable. The petition was rejected.
superintendent Helms estimated the
cost of repairing Madison street slip to be
$500, but if creosoted piles are used it will
cost $500.
Captain Ryan submitted an offer to dive
into Lake Washington to clean the bottom
where the suction pipe for the water
works is to be laid for $l62 The COM
munication was filed.
The bids for taking down the smoke
stack at the old pumping station at Lake
Union were rejected as too high.
On recommendation of Superintendent
w. +. Wilson the board rejected petit
ton of residents on Queen Anne hill for
water for lawn sprinkling purposes. APP
plication for extension of the water mains
to Lake View cemetery was granted.
