Bureau Of Information.

The burlington" has recently
established, in convenient quarter
of its elegant and commodious pas
senger station, at Chicago, an Office
designed to afford travellers all in
formation on the thousand and-one
things they need to know with re-
gard to routes, rates, connections
and accommodations. 1t has been
placed in charge of an experienced
man, supplied with all railway
guides, maps and time tables, and is
known as the Bureau of Informa-
ton" 1t is IA place to which all
travellers may apply for information
and receive full and correct answer.
This is the only Office of the kind
west OF the sea board cities, and it
cannot but prove help and conve-
nience to the travelling public. All
trains of the Burlington enter and
depart from this station, and the in
telligent and valuable service of the
bureau may be enjoyed by all pa
irons of this line.
A special pamphlet will be issued

e~oHowrsH. Dec. T.-fSpecial. Prose
cutting Attorney L. C. Whitney today fled
information against the county commits
sionsrs and commenced proceedings look
ing toward the removal Of these three OH
Gals from Office. The county attorney and
county commissioners have not been on
good terms for some time past. and not
long ago the former Official attempted to
enjoin the commissioners from drawing
their salaries. on the ground that they
were wasting time and remaining in con-
slant session in order TO draw their s per
day. Little vas thought Of this action, -
IL was regarded rs personal fight between
the two offices. Ithas not yet been decided
in court
But the charges In the information filed
today are said TO be sensational in the ex-
IRENE. and the county attorney says that
he has sufficient evidence 20 convict the
commissioners Of gross abuse Of power.
Among the charges made are that the com.
mission has continually wasted time and
the county's money; that they have mis-
appropriated funds received for liquor
licenses; that they are illegally holding
monopoly OF the liquor business at Monte
Cristo; that they are receiving ''rake-offs"
from contractors on work awarded; that
the bridge work on the Stillaguamish is
not being done according 20 specifications,
and that the inspector OF the bridges Ii a
Democratic heeier. with no knowledge Of
stresses and strength of materials. and SO
on. Beside all these charges. scandalous
stories are circulated concerning the con-
duct OF the three com missioners when
on their trips throughout the county. 1t
is said that they are frequently too drunk
TO walk straight while they are transaeting
business.
The prosecuting attorney is an appointes

Ing the summer All the parties are DEM
ocrats. and the quarrel arose originally be-
cause Whitney refused to retain A. ID.
Austin as his deputy, the latter being
friend of the commissioners.

San Fr.ncl.ce bridge Company As.irn.

SAN FRaScIsco, Dec 27-The San
Francisco Bridge Company has made an
assignment for the benefit of creditors.
The failure was precipitated by the loss of
the big raft of piles which the company
tried to bring down from Coos bay. 1t
broke up off the coast Of Humboldt county
and became q total loss. Ii Is believed,
however. that the company has assets suf
ficient to satisfy all creditors and resume
business. and that the assignment is really
to gain time. The assignment was made
to Sheriff McDade under the new law. lie
has placed keeper in charge of the COM
pany's office. He has nothing TO do. how
ever but safely keep the property until an
assignee can be elected by the creditors. An
election must take place within ten days,
by which time the company expects to see
its way clear TO resume business. The
schedule of liabilities flied in the records
office this morning shows that the COM
pany owes sl72, 322 q. nearly all of which
Is due TO local banks and business houses.
Notice of the assignment was received
yesterday by ]. Il. {. Lockwood, the man.
ager for Washington. with headquarters in
this city. The telegram stated that the
purpose was TO secure an extension of
that every one of the creditors would be
paid in full with interest. The business
in the Seattle Office is kept entirely dis
tinct from that at San Francisco. no as
signment has been made here, and bust
ness will be continued here as usual.
The company was first organized IN
ISL. and was incorported in 1883. 1t made
an assignment in 1857. but resumed busi-
ness in very few days. According to
the last statement, made last January.
the assets were over 100000 and
the liabilities about S2oo, 600. and Mr..
Lockwood states that the assets
are now over $4,000 in excess
OF the liabilities. The branch Office was
established here in 1850, under the man
sgement of George W. Gait, and the COM
pany has built most of the county bridges
in this state during the last four years, and
did all the bridges on the Lake Shore road
The Great Northern coast lines, besides
building three large ones on the main line
in Idaho and large csntilever on the
Spokane Fails & Northern. About year
ago Mr.. Gait was transferred 20 New YORK

which he has been conducting dredging
operations in South Boston harbor, the
haEbor Of Jacksonville. Fla, and at Wash
