ADJUSTMENTS.


No entertainer receives more well earned
words of praise from the press and pulpit,
than Prof. Donald Downie. who appears
at the Seattle theater November 81, -, %
and "a. Nor is there today produced on
the American stage anything more charm
ing, to the better classes. than these mag
nilicent collections of art and these schol-
arly lectures so ably handled. Manager
Hanna is to be congratulated on securing
this celebrated traveller for four entertain
ments.
The Evansville, Ind, Courier has this to
say:
Donald Downie has imported revolution
into illustrated lectures We can very dis.
tnctly remember lectures which seemed to be
mere explanations of the plain photographs and
which seemed to interrupt our enjoyment OF
the views, but Mr.. Downe's Giscourses vie with
his magnificent colored views and are scholarly
and eloquent as the illustrations are artistic

ness. No one but was sorry when the hour and q
half of travel had closed, ii seemed so short, and
SO much enchanting information had been con-
veyed in such pleasing and eloquent manner
The audience frequently testified their appre-
citation by loud applause. Another feature Of
this entertainment, and one which is unique, IL
the superb mechanical effects given in the in
PERMISSION and at the close. We shall be pleased
to see our people continue their patronage, and
tomorrow and Saturday matinee there will be
new and attractive programmes. The school
children will be favored with an entertainment
specially designed to instruct and amuse. II
there be not fortune in store for Prof. Downie
with these illustrated lectures it would seem to
be no fault OF his own.

He Contradicts sport Watch"

One of the carpenters who went to st.
Michael's, Alaska, to build the steamer P.
b. Weare disputes the accuracy of the
statements OF lone of the Port Watch"
published in Tuesdays PosT-INrELLI-
GEScER. He says the revenue cutter Bear
arrived at St. Michael's on September g.
and not September 3, as Port Watch"
says. He continues that the keel of the
Weare was laid on August and most of
the frames put up on the 9th, but on the
10th Capt. J. ]. Holland, the foreman, was
taken sick and was unable to pay much at
tention to the work. Nevertheless, he
says, the men remained at work. with one
exception, and did their best TO finish the
boat under such disadvantages and he
thanks they did remarkably we'll. When
the Bear came in the machinist was behind
with his work and Capt. Healy, of the
Bear, allowed some of his engineers and
sailors to help him. but that had nothing
to do with the carpenters. He denies that
there was strike, as only one man quit
at the beginning and is still in the coun-
try. He also says that Mrs. Weare was
not on the Bear. but has been at her home
near Chicago all the season.

THE co. ROAD COMING
Terminal Ground and Entrance
to Tacoma Secured.
WILL USE THE HUNT SYSTEM.
Another Limo to the Sound-The Trans
continental Fixes It's Dying Day
The Portland Road.

The following special dispatch from Ia
coma to the Posr-ISTErIIGESCER is in line
with and confirms rumors which have
frequently been published that the Bur-
lington system is about to be extended to
the Sound:
TACOMA, Nov. 16-fspecial- Arrangements
have been made whereby the interests of the
Tacoma & Eastern railroad have been condi-
tionsliy transferred to the Ca:cago, Burlington
Quincy. The Importance Of this proposition,
from a railroad mans point OF view, is the fact
that the Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy yirtu-
ally has an option on the vauable terminal
grounds on the tide fats which were held out TO
the Union Pacific railroad q couple Of years ago.
The old Hart logging road, which ID now known
az the Tacoma 4 Eastern, affords desirable
entrance into the city and leads direct towards
the proposed terminal grounds.
A second feature of importance IN this con-
nection is the possible Joining Of the Tacoma d
Eastern with C. B. wrighss system OF roads in
Eastern Washington and Oregon, formerly
known as the Hunt system. In fact this is the
present shape in which the Chicago, Burlington
Quincy Pacific terminal question is now be-
ing figured out
Many say the Northern Pacific would not per-
nit Q road TO enter the wheat country. but
when ex-President c. B. Wright, of that COM
pany, was here recently, he said frankly ::
somebody will build ROAD through that
country" And he intimated that il vas q
good proposition to extend the Tacoma 4 East
up the Nesqualy river and through the
Cowlitz pass. Still he also said he did not
wish To pin his road with the project, at least
for year.
Business men encourage the proposition, as it
would open up the Nesqually valley and open
the coal mines In the Cowitz pass district I'D
mund Rice, John F. Hart, Nelson Bennett,
Isaac Anderson and others are interested in the
proposition.
The Burlington company is extending
the Burlington 4 Missouri River road
through Northern Wyoming to Helena or
Great Falls. where it will connect with
the Great Northern. These two compa-
MES have an agreement to exchange bust
ness, the Great Northern giving the Bur-
lington that which is destined from the
Pacific coast to points in Nebraska and
Kansas. and the Burlington giving the
Great Northern that coming to the Coas.
from the same points. But the Burling-
ton is not the kind of a system to share
the proceeds of its business with another
road when it sees an opportunity to take
everything itself. Il is one of the strong
est systems. financially, in the country,
and can command capital for such q great
enterprise as Pacific coast extension.
The stock business of Montana. the min.
ing business of Montana and Idaho, the
grain of Eastern Washington and the ium-
Der of the Sound offer good inducements
for it to extend it's own line. The Hunt
system would give it entrance in the wheat
section, and thus prove a valuable aux
iliary

first day out of San Francisco. His name
was Lars Larsen. There was fair breeze.

knots an hour. There was a heavy swell
on and Larsen was raising pail of water.
The sudden jerk of the pail caused him to
lose his balance, and his feet probably
slipped on the deck and over he went

indicate where his relatives live. He did
not seem to be very well known among
