were made by Rev. L. L. Wood. Rev. A.
Bunker in his address said that the gospel
should be taken TO the people everywhere
not let the people have to come after it.

to go about among the people. Rev. ". L.
Rugg gave talk upon the chapel car and
its relation to Scripture teaching.

EXPLORED THE STAMPEDE PASS.
Tilton Sheets Work as a Pioneer of
Washington Railroads.

Tilton ]. Sheets. who died at Friday
Harbor on March 10, was the dIscoverer
of the Stampede pass. 1t had long been
known that there was a pass through the
Cascades somewhere in the locality OF the
Stampede pass. as ii had been used by the
Indians, but it remained for Mr.. Sheets, at
the head of a Northern Pacific engineers
party, TO definitely locate it and examine
the possible routes for a railroad. He re-
manned with the Northern Pacific until
the completion of the road. Before his
engagement by the Northern Pacific he
had been employed on a preliminary sur
vey for road from Olympia to Portland
under man named Brooks. OF late years
he had been engaged on government sur
veying contracts until his election as sur
veyor of San Juan county.
John G. Seurry. who knew him well,
says of him:
He had the reputation of being able to get
through the woods as fast as any man and with
less baggage. He considered a good ex-
plofer aud pioneer of railroads, for he knew the
topography OF the country and was good judge
OF railroad routes.

PASSENGER. VIII Need No Transfer

When the Northern Pacific and Lake
Shore depots are combined at the foot of Co
lumbia street, the trains from the East at
eco a. m and from Tacoma at 1 10 n. N. will
make close connection with the Lake Shore
trains leaving for Sumas and Snohomlsh
at $40 4. NJ. and 4:So ?. m, respectively.
Passengers and baggage can then be trans
ferred without trouble or expense. 1t is
probable that car will be put on these

PAYS UNEARNED DIVIDENDS.
Wall Street Rumor About Northern Pa
cific-BuIIding Great Northern.

Wall Street Rumor About Northern Pa
cific-Buiiding Great Northern.
New YoRK. March 1S.-The Wall Street
Journal says: A leading railroad official
connected with prominent company in
the Northwest says:
The Northern Pacific is losing its earnings
very fast, and the policy it is keeping up Of pay
ing unearned dividends is making IL lose caste
and credit in the financial world. The an
nouncement here that the Great Northern will
be at the Pacific coast with new line by No
vember has had a stimulating effect.
The following is published today: The
continued advance in Great Northern has
caused many inquiries as to the reason.
The stock yesterday sold ut 142, the high
est point touched since the stock was is
sued, but today 1T reacted per cent. The
volume of business in this stock on the
way up has been small, and the advance
has been practically simply marking up
of quotations by insiders. The only rea-
son given for this advance is the expecta-
ton that this line will be completed
through to the Pacific by November next,
but it is generally believed that the stock
has been run up simply to assist syndi-
Gates handling the company's bonds to
market them.
A Northern Pacific director when shown
the statement from the Wall Street Journal,
said it doubtless emanates from Compel
itor and is worth nothing. The assertion
regarding the paying of unearned divi-
dends, doctoring of accounts or that
money applicable to the sinking fund has
been diverted 10 other purposes, are false.
The New York Journal Of Finance, of
March Y, says: Although the January
earnings statement of the Northern Pacific
makes a bad showing. a turn IN the tide of
earnings is believed to have come. the
gross earnings for the first week of March
