Lumber Outlook in Skykomish District.
SULTAN CTrY. WASH, Nov. B.-[Special.l
The outlook in the lumber industry in
this district is beginning TO brighten,
and prospects are good for busy
season tho coming spring and sum-
mer. Several lumbermen have Wis
tied Sultan and Wallace during
the past week, looking over the situation
with view of establishing mills.
]. p. Krortch, lumberman of Atchi-
SON, Kan. is making tour of the North
west in search of location for large
mill. He has been through Idaho, and is
now making the rounds oftWestern WASH
ington. He spent four days investigating
the merits of the situation here. HIS OBJ
ssrvations were satisfactory. and he de-
parted Wednesday for Seattle, with the
determination to return and look further
over this part of the lumber region of
Washington.
Two agents Of large numbering firm of
Seattle are now here looking over the
field. The people Of Sultan and vicinity
are iubiiant over this change in affairs
and confidently look for better times.
At Wallace, four miles east of here, the
settlers are preparing to clear 0lney creek
for the purpose of getting some Of their
cedar to market. There is . large terri
tory of fine timber here. but much of it
cannot be handled as yet. as the greater
part of 1t is on unsurveyed land. II is
said that a Snohomish shingle mill has
arranged to take the cedar from the Wal.
lace loggers.

"All the trouble that there has been in
the commission has been caused by Tom
Cavanaugh," said DR.. G. v. Calhoun,
the executive commissioner of the WASH
ington Worlds fair commission to Ners
reporter yesterday afternoon, in speaking
of the differences between the members OF
the commission and the financial troubles
In which the body had at times found
itself. There is no trouble now that
know Of" the doctor continued. I'VE are
getting along smoothly now. As l have
said, II il had not been for Cavanaugh we
would have had no trouble at all. Cava-
naugh came back from New York 10 at
tend one of the meetings of the commits
sion which was held in Tacoma before
the fair opened. He favored the selling OF
the lumber that was left over
from the construction OF the states
building at Chicago and using
the money for the payment OF salaries. /
opposed this move because the Law dis
tinctly states that all money received from
the sale OF such material and exhibits shall
be turned over to the state treasurer.
Cayanaugh wanted this money used to pay
his claim tor salary which ! had refused
to countenance. No member of the COM
mission was to receive pay unless for the
performance OF duty assigned TO him by
the executive commissioner. l had never
appointed Cavanaugh to do any work, and
therefore did not think that he had any
claim against the commission"

WALKED OUT OF JAIL.
Burglar Dryden Again Makes
His Escape.
DISGUISED AS a PREACHER.


John Dryden, alias Hawthorne, alias
O'Neiil, the notorious Householder, who
made daring leap from . train
while being brought back from
the Walia Waila penitentiary to await
the result Of An appeal TO the supreme
court coolly walked out of the county Jail
under the very nose of one Of Sheriff
Woolery's vigiiant y deputies yesterday
and is now at liberty.
Dryden was confined in the strongest
part of the jail with other criminals
of . dangerous character. Yesterday
At the Jail every Sunday afternoon were
admitted to this department and conduct
ed their services while standing in the
main corridor. which Is inside the steel
cage. The prisoners had the lib
erty of this corridor. When the
missionaries went in the party consisted
Of two women and one man. When they
came out there were two women and two
men. Dryden was the addition to the
party. Jim Wells. who was acting as
jailer during the absence OF Jaiier Monroe
at Waila Walla, opened the doors and
allowed the party to pass.
Dryden's assumed sacerdotai character
was sufficient to deceive the turnkey, al
though he has had several years expert
ence in the sherifi's Office.
Dryden walked away with the mission
aries. but probably left them for more con-
genial companions as soon as the outer cir
was reached.
The escape was not noticed until 8
o'clock in the evening. about three hours
later. when Night Jaiier Smith locked
the prisoners in their cells. He missed
Dryden, and on looking into his
cell found lay figure made of clothing on
his cot Sheriff Woolery was summoned
and the prisoners were taken out one by
one and three of them finally gave away
the method by which Dryden got away.
Las. night deputy sheriffs were securing
the town and watching trains and boats,
hoping to intercept the fugitive. They
kept very still about the escape. hoping to
be able to return him to Jail before the
matter leaked out,

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 26.-Reports from
along the Lehigh road today show the
situation to be practically unchanged.
The company il running a good many
trains at irregular intervals, and the
strikers are making inroads among the
new employees. Both sides profess to be
equally confident Of the result. Rumors
of outbreaks either lack substantiation or
particulars are wanting. A wreck occurred
at Perth Amboy between two freights.
by which Engineer Mallory, who
was taking Q strikers place, lost his life.
Advices from Buffalo indicate that the
strike IL practically declared off there, but
WHkesbarre still presents . strong front,
and today the company had cause for
considerable complaint as q result Of men
interfering with attempts to move trains.

Q mob attacked the station and drove a
non-union operator from the premises. tho

10 the assembly of the Knights of Labor
that upon the opening Of the session to-
morrow morning. T. v. Powderly's resig-
nation will be almost certainly accepted.
A telegram was sent James r. Sovereign
ut Des Moines. asking him if he would
accept the Office which Powderly
seeks to vacate. Is was sent late
this afternoon and signed by
nineteen delegates. some Of whom have
heretofore been known as being very
friendly to Powderly. At 1880 tonight
reply was received. In substance Sover-
eisn said: IF Powderiy has resigned |
will accept the Office of general master
workman If rendered me, ana will do oil
in my power TO work for the good Of the
order" This practically puts an end to the
controversy now going on. The anti
Powderlyites still hold a vote of twenty
four, which is a majority. and upon reas-
sembling tomo rrow will get right down to
business
Caucuses are being held tonight, both by
Powderly's friends and those of the West
ern fayorite. for the purpose of getting the
forces properly instructed and marshalled
for the battle of the ballots in the morn

claims of his victory and his fitting quail
ties for the Office.

which refused 70 pay the SIC. o0o insurance
on the burned property, alleging that 10
their best knowledge and belief Hart
either burned or caused tho mill TO be
burned. Much evidence 20 that effect was
introduced, all of which was positively
denied by Mr. Hart. The main point
brought out by the plaintiffs attorneys.
encil A johnson, was that the animus OF
certain Of the leading witness for the In
surance companies was business or other
troubles. principally OF long standing.
Crowley d Sullivan, for the defendants.
laid stress on the testimony, alleging
arson instigated by Mr.. Hart.
Mr.. Hart had prominent business re-
Iations here. at Seattle and Everett. The
fosT-IrTELLfeEscER was the first newspa-
per to announce the fact that IL was al-
legged and charged that he was interested
IN burning the mill and will probably now
be the first TO Announce the findings Of
the jury.
One OF the most sensational features OF
the case was the OBTAINING Of Mr.. Hart in
this city shortly after the mill burned by
City Detective Wilson and Private Detec-
tive McEaughton. II was claimed that
Mr.. Hart was about to escape. He was in
dignant and resented the inter-
ference which. IL was declared,
was equal to bisckmail, mas
much as certain collateral securities
were accepted from Mr. Hart 20 insure his
whereabouts. The detectives ridicule the
hint of blackmaii. There had been much
talk shout the matter of burning the mill,
and sfiidavits TO that effect had been made
before the PosT-IsTKLLIsKScER made refer
ences TO the charges made against Hart.
At the time the detectives believed Mr..
Hart was fleeing. he In fact says ne was
bound for San Francisco to Negotiate for
the sale Of the Vancouver & Eastern or
Hart road to the Southern Pacific railroad.
There will be FIVE more cases Of similar
nature. unless all parties abide the result
In this one, which will be appealed to the
supreme court. In charging the Jury,
Judge Gordon, OF Olympia, stated that IL
II was found that Hart burned the mill or
II was burned through his negligence In
not having Waterman, they could not
find for him.

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
REDUCE THE FARES.

Mr.. Hunt, Of ella County, has intro
duced bill to regulate the passenger
tariffs to be charged by railways in the
territory. The rate now allowed by
law is six cents per mile, although some
OF the roads only charge five cents.
Mr.. Hunts bill places the rate at four
cents, and this is higher than the rate
charged in other states and territories
which is now uniformly three cents per
mile.
There is no reason why the people OF
Arizona should pay more for riding on
this side OF the Colorado river than on
the other, and Mr.. Hunts bill is there
fore exceedingly timely. The rate
which it names is twenty-five per cent
higher than in California or in the
east, which is very liberal. As a
matter OF fact. the people of Arizona
should pay less than their eastern and
western neighbors, because they can
less afford it, but Mr.. Hunts bill has
every element Of fairness and should
pass.
The railroads acknowledge that six
cents is too much and the Southern
Pacific and some others charge only
I'VE cents.
Make the rate four cents and the ques-
ton Of railroad fare in Arizona will be
settled for some time to come.

SPLENDID SHEEP IN ENGLAND.
The Finest of All Are the Dainty and
Pretty-Foatured south Downs

Inc FlneSt OF All Are the Dainty and
Pretty-Foatured South Downs
The naturalist who is not too proud
to know the history of the domesti-
Gated animals which are now as native
to the soil as any of the ancient wild
races could name any district in which
he found himself by glance at the
sheep upon the hills, says the Spectator.
Not even the cattle exhibit such marked
differences as are to be found in the
tlocks which century of careful selec-
ton has fitted to thrive best in the
varied soils of England. The big Lei
cester sheep, with long gray wool and
white faces, are as different from the
"Cotswald's" as Newfoundland from
white poodle. In the "Cotswolds"
will be found the original of the "baa-
lamb of the nursery. These sheep are
tall, with white wool in locks. and with
tufts upon the head and forehead. The
Lincolnshire sheep are more like those
Of Leicester, but heavier in the fleece,
coarser and more fitted for life in the
marshes. They have, perhaps, the
most intelligent faces of any sheep but
the refined South Downs. We noticed
a Lincoln eve endeavoring to open a
sack of cakes by putting her foot into
the mouth and drawing out the con-
tents as it lay on the ground in the
next pen. Romney marsh has its own
breed of sheep, something like the Lin
coins. But of all the flocks of England
the South Downs must win the palm
Their short-clipped and delicate wool is
felted together like moss. The hand
sinks into it with difficulty. The form
is beautiful and rounded, and though
apparently so finely built, their weight
is great. The close yellow-gray fleece
fits over the head like a cap, disclosing
the face and nose, covered with short
gray hair-not wool. The features are
