FIXING UP WESTERN RATES

CHICAGO, Jan. l3-The Great North
ern railway has at last given its trans
continental competitors an inkling Of
what it proposes to do in the matter Of
rates. First and foremost it shows no
disposition to adopt its promised dis
tance tariff, and secondly it has thus
far favored an advance in rates, which
its competitors declare impossible. One
of the interested officials today declared
that he believed that the distance tariff
of the Great Northern was proposed for
right of way purposes only. Rumors
of the proposed plan were whispered
when the Great Northern was entering
Spokane. The Northern Pacific, of
course, lost an opportunity to manipu-
late public sentiment against the Great
Northern, and it is now believed that
the proposal of the distance tariff was
only shrewd move Of President Hill
TO secure a right of way through
| Washington.

JACKSON, Tenn, Jan. l3-There are
grave apprehensions Of bloody race
war at Greenfield, Tenn. A few nights
ago two negroes went 10 the farm house
of Mrs. Jones, widow; and attempted
to outrage her. The woman recognized
one Of the negroes and told her neigh
bors. The following night a body Of
masked men went to the house of the
negroes and were greeted with a volley
of shots. The mob then riddied the
house with bullets. One negro was
shot in the throat, but escaped to the
bottoms, and remained in the swamp
all night almost naked and surrounded
by water. In the morning he was
caught and whipped nearly to death.
Yesterday strange young man came
into town with thirty-fve masks, the
negroes got guns and war was expected
last night. Nearly every negro in the
neighborhood quit work and a bloody
riot Is expected at any moment.

Our Public Roads

Throughout the state and country
generally the attention OF all classes Is
directed strongly 10 the crying need OF

available large areas for agricultural,

the permanent avenues thus estab-
lished, instead Of aGording adequate

washIrgton's Coal Deposits

The Great Northern Bulletin for jan
uary says that the principal coal fields OF
the state are located In the Puget Sound
basin, and cover an estimated area OF
100000 acres, forming chain from the
Columbia river In the south TO Belling-
ham Bay in the north. In quality IL
ranges from Ignite TO bjtnmiDOus, suit
able for all uses, domestic, steam, black
smithIng, coke, etc. The veins range
from three TO eighteen feet thick. In 1891
the output was I 10000 tons, valued at
s4,5OOO0O. The shipments are mainly 10
California, from mines near Fairhaven,
Seattle and Tacoma. IL IL claimed that
anthracite coal exists along the CowlItz
river.
Charles B. Woodhouse. an expert min
ing engineer, after making a careful ex-
animation and survey Of the entire Puget
Sound basin, says: THE young and
fonrishing state bears the undisputed
reputation OF being the greatest In coal
beds and forests; as large statements can
be made with perfect trutbfnlDess about
other natural resources, but this Is nc
place TO Introduce them. Coal II our
text, and VIZ have plenty TO talk about
A u the Pacific coast will forever have to
look TO this state for its coal" He then
describes infinitely the various groups oi
mines, located In Whatcom, Skagit, King
Pierce and Lewis counties, These coal
deposits had their origin In the enormous
tree and herbage Rrowths Of past ages
and their development will add largely u
the wealth OF the state.

crowded at the second days trial Of
Hugh Dempsey for completely in the
Homestead poisoning. Most Of the
forenoon session was taken up with the
examination Of the men taken i'll while
working at Homestead, and their ply
sicians. The latter all expressed their
belief that the men had been poisoned.
The defense objected to the physicians

ceedings were somewhat irregular, but
II II could be proved that the defendant
was guilty Of furnishing poison, their

A REAL ESTATE swINDLER

Valley Fraud
Some measures should be devised 10
check the swindiing operations Of G.
e. Page, of Tacoma, with his bogus
"Happy Vally" addition TO Fairhaven.
If no law exists for reaching him, the
committee on charter revision should
have provision inserted In the pro-
posed charter amendments for cover
ing frauds Of this character. A large
number Of persons deceived by his rep
resentations, have been swind1ed out Of
from a few hundred TO several thou
sand dollars during the past eighteen
months
Yesterday, prominent business
man, Of Spokane, who had recently in
vested $1,000 In Fairhaven real estate,
arrived In town TO view his property.
Upon investigation he found that his
property was lots in this remote and
inaccessible addition. He was natur-
ally very indignant when he learned
OF this, and II can easily be inferred
that his experience will not tend TO
bring investments Of Spokane money
In Fairhaven realty.
Pages method Of operation is this /.
He owns tract Of land off ON Chucka-
nut mountain, valuless for any pur-
pose whatever. This he has plated
under the deceptive name Of
Happy Valley addition. His plat
Is an exact counterfeit Of
Judge Kellogg's Happy Valley
addition. The names OF the streets
