That Especially Concerns Thurs
ton COuntY-It Will Promote
Prosperity.
While in Seattle few days ago an Olym-
pia lumber dealer had a confidential chat
with General Manager Shelby, of the Great
Northern road, during which Mr.. Shelby
made statements Of great concern to the
lumbermen of Olympia and Thurston
county. They relate principally to the
freight rate on lumber. The lines now in
possession Of the field charge 90 cents per
hundred pounds between Washington and
Chicago, but the Great Northern proposes
to make cut to 40 cents, thus enabling
Washington lumber dealers to compete
with men in the same business in any part
of the country. This information, coming
as it does from perhaps the only man in
Washington in the full confidence of Mr.,
Hill, may be considered perfectly reliable.
Manager Shelby informed the gentleman
from Olympia frankly that he had discussed
the matter carefully with Mr. Hill and that
the big reduction in the lumber rate would
be made as specified when the road began
to operate.
For years the milling companies of
Washington have been hampered in their
efforts to compete with Eastern concerns
by the high rates on lumber shipments,
including rough and manufactured pro-
ducts of the mill. Indeed for that matter,
the one or two through lines East have
held the Northwest in an iron grasp on
the question Of freight rates on all ship
ments. The survey of Hills road we
hailed with delight. 1t was looked upon
as the means by which the vast natural re-
sources of the Evergreen state could be
speedily turned into gold, and the people
made prosperous and happy Then arose
the question as to whether or not the new
line would go into the indeXible combine
already established for the purpose of
keeping up prices" When Hill
withdrew from the Transcontinental asso-
sociation it was at once assumed that he
intended to go it alone in the transporta-
ton business. Lumbermen will be bene-
fitted by the lower Iates more than any
other class in the state. Olympia is espec-
tally concerned because Of the numbering
interests Of Thurston and adjoining coun-
ties.
Even if the Great Northern never ex-
tends its line to Olympia the Northern Pa
cihc will be compelled to meet its rates
and the result will be practically the same

mattOn--PenaItY to the Chin
amen who DisObey Their UIti-
matun--Funds for Legal Test.
SAN FRANoIsoo, September 1O-The Con-
solidated Benevolent Association of the
Six Companies, powerful Chinese organ
ization, better known as the "Six Com
panies, which comprises all the wealthy
merchants Of the country, together with
the Chinese consular officers, who regulate
the affairs of the Chinese in this country,
has issued proclamation from headquar-
ters in this city forbidding Chinese in the
United States to comply with the terms of
the Geary bill requiring them to- register,
have themselves identified by two white
witnesses and be photographed before
April IS, 1898.
The proclamation states that the masters
of the six companies, after careful in
yestigation, have found that the registra-
ton is Objectionable and detrimental to
their interests. 1t continues: "Our
countrymen must live in these United
States without being registered.
If one should be registered on his own
account, he must not come to us i'll case
he gets into trouble in this country. The
six companies will pay no attention to
him if he does. When man does regis
ter he loses his respect ability in the eyes
of his countrymen. This applies to China
men living in any part of the country and
in small towns as well as large cities. If
by refusing to register man is arrested,
imprisoned or punished, he can depend on
the six companies for relief.
The proclamation states that the Chin
ese will be required to organise and sub
scribe money for the employment of legal
aid, and, if necessary, secure the services
of Chinese ambassadors to fight against
this alleged injustice. Two lawyers have
been engaged here by the six companies,
Each Chinese resident of the United
States is required to pay one dollar to the
six companies for the expense of the suit
to test the legality Of the registration law
and this money must be paid before Sep
tember. The Chinaman who does not pay
will be prevented from returning to his
own country when he applies to the six
companies for his pass. The proclamation
concludes by saying, 1.-THE United States
does not treat the Chinese right, because it
compels no other nation to do such things
and no other nation in the world treats
Chinese as the United States does"

WnshInpton Hnns.

In spite of the hop louise, which has been
very troublesome this year, Washington
hop raisers have average crops, thanks to
spraying. A large number Of farmers have
lost their crops, but they have themselves
to thank for the fact. Everything seems
to point to hops bringing good price this
year, as the foreign crops are poor. The
market is nominal at present, 20 cents per
pound being about the figure. The prices
are expected to run up to 40 cents per
pound, and the optimistic want them to
kick the beam at 60 cents. For this reason
the market is slow and there will be a
tendency for all who can do 80 to hold
their crops for high prces.-Tacoma

busy OFFICIALS.
The Tax Suits Overload the County
Clerk and the Sheriff.

County Clerk Roberts was very busy to.
day entering up the tax suits and issuing
summonses. Each suit must be put on
record precisely the same as any other ac-
tion against an individual. Owing to the
large number the work of putting all the
cases on the appropriate records is quite
burdensome. County Attorney Aver as
surred Mr.. Roberts this afternoon that he
would do all within his power to induce
the county commissioners to provide him
assistants. The sheriff's office will also be
flooded with business for several days af-
ter the summons papers are handed over
to that officer for service upon the parties
against whom the suits have been brought.

BLUE CANON, Gala, Sept. 10.-Fire broke
out in the snowsheds at Summit last night.
The Summit fire train, which was fighting
the flames, became completely lost in the
fire and had to be abandoned. The engine
and water cars we're burned up. The

front, and while battling with the flames, a
new fire started west of the train. Fires
were started at four different points, evil

ing west from Summit. The flames are
now under control, but nothing can be
done toward laying new track until the
fire dies out ana the rails COOL Five
hundred workmen haYe been shipped from
Truckee, with ties and rails, and work will
be pushed with all possible rapidity.
Twenty-one hundred feet of sheds and
track are destroyed. Passengers at this

brewery will be Operated Again.
A foreclosure suit has been brought
against the old Hosneider brewery by
Judge Francis Henry and H. G.. Hagin, in
the interest of Mrs. Mary NJ. Miller, who
holds first mortgage of over $4,000 against
the property.
H.Zweig, of San Francisco, holds a sec
ond mortgage amounting to several thous-
and dollars. He has been notified of the
proceedings and will be given an opportu-
nifty to purchase the property before judg-
ment is taken and the brewery is offered
for sale. Mr.. Zweig is a wealthy gentle
man interested in the manufacture Of beer.
and it has been quietly announced that in
case he buys the brewery, which is quite
probable. he will refit the place, put an ex-
perienced maltser in charge and manufao-
ture beer for Olympia.
The attorneys IN the case have suspend
ed proceedings until they hear from Mr..
ZWeig.
