IL Can Now Enforce Demands In Trans.
continental Rate Conferences.
There has been quite change in the re.
lations Of the Northern aud Southern
transcontins entail lines Of railroad in the
last few years. owing to the increased
amount Of traffic originating in the North
Pacific territory. Formerly the business
OF Washington and Oregon was so small
a proportion OF the aggregate that the
Northern lines had little to = in the con-
ferences Of freight agents in the making
Of rates. Though they were large in num-
Der. they were constantly borne down by
being reminded that they represented only
a small part Of the total business Of the
Coast, and they had to agree to whatever
the Southern lines chose to dictate.
Now the situation is changed. The
Northern lines represent 90 per cent. of
the total and are in position TO enforce
any reasonable demand. At the San
Diego conference they proposed that they
should be allowed TO make the same rate
for single car load Of fruit from North
Pacific coast terminals as the Southern
Pacific had been making for a whole train
load. The Southern Pacific objected, but
was reminded that the Northern lines
now cut larger figure than they formerly
did. and 1t came 10 terms. 1t is only .
few years since the business from Portland
north was only Is per cent. OF the whole,
so that the proportion is rapidly changing
and railroad men think that few more
years will show balance on the side Of
the North

Proposed Northern Pacific Extension
Weuld Open Great Mineral District.
Spokane Chronicle.
It has been known for long time that
the Northern Pacific officials were an ious
to extend their line from Coulee City to
the Columbia river as soon as circum-
stances would justify it The rapid de-
velopment of the central part of the state
this year has increased their desire to ex-
tend the line. and from recent indications
the people of the Okanogan, Chelan and
Methow districts are satisfied that road
building will be resumed in tho near
future.
Agentleman who arrived yesterday from
visit to the Methow and Chelan valleys
says the opinion is commonly expressed
that the Northern Pacific will begin road
building not later than next spring. This
belief has been common for several
months" no said, land was greatly
strengthened last week by the visit Of four
men. These were J. F. Mcknight and
John Davis. Of Seattle, and N. +. Nc
Naught and w. H. Smith, Of Anacortes.
The first named Is attorney for tho North
ern Pacific, and in position to know
what is to be done by that road in Wash
ington.
II met them in the Methow valley, and
while they were quite reticent as to their
plans, il was evident that they were not
there for fun. They made careful inquiries
as to the character and prospects of the
mines. the general contour Of the country,
and the amount of ore that could he
shipped when the mines are developed. I
afterwards visited Chelan and found that
they had been there before me, and had
made even moro inquiries than in the
Methow valley. They seemed especially
interested in the amount of ore that could
be shipped, and in the several townsites
that are scattered about Lake Chelan.
They lett after making arrangements to
return later in the season and visit tho
Horseshoe basin and Bridge creek mines
as soon as the snow has disappeared.
"Rumor says the railway company has
decided to extend its line westward. cross
ing the Columbia near the outlet of Lake
Chelan and sending branches up this val
ley and to tap the Methow creek mines.
II this Is done these mining districts will
have the biggest boom next year that was
ever seen in Washington.

a great deal of enthusiasm and much APP

siXty-three innings in all were played
Samson stood only fifty behind his CON-
petitor. Sampson took the situation very
coolly from the very start. He walked
about the table as though confident OF
an easy victory. In the fOrty-fifth in.

The interest in the bowling tourna-

CINCINNATI, Dec. 16.-At the Hall
Fitzsimmons fight at New Orleans De-
tective John I. Norris, of Springfield,
o., protested to have warrant for the
arrest OF Charley Mitchell. charging
him with acting as second for Xii
rain in the Sullivan -Kilrain fight.
For some reason he did not at
tempt to serve the warrant. Now
MIR. Norris, with the aid of the gossips,
and probably with that old warrant, has
managed to come momentarily into
public notice again. Sporting editors
in Cincinnati ridicule the story that
Norris VIII serve warrant on Mitchell,
and predict that less will come of an at
tempt to arrest Mitchell at Jacksonville
than did of the demonstration against
him at the Embellishments fight.

reciprocity plan were negotiated. More
over. the Canadian Pacific steamers are
a part OF the Canadian Pacific trans
continental railroad. The acquisition
OF Hawaii would not only help Canadas
trade, but also complete the military
chain which Great Britain has thrown

AT the Hawaiian legation no official

Hastings, the charge d'atfaires in the
absence of Minister Thurston, does not
expect anything to occur that will
change the status of the provisional gov

OF recent days as settling that the de

Waiian legation as the one accepted by
most of the congressional leaders and

REVIVAL OF POLO.
Several Teams Organizing 70
This II

Several Teams Organizing for
This Lively Game.
For several years past the public in
terest in polo has lain dormant, but this
year with the renewal of old and the
starting of new clubs a great deal of
the oid-time enthusiasm has been
aroused.
Prominent among the various organi-
cations are the teams OF Company E,
the reorganiZed Minnesota s, champions
of years gone by, and the Henriettas, a
very promising club. There is also a
movement on foot to form team whose
members shall be from the postoffice
and court house.
Polo is to winter sports what football
is to summer athletics, and like football,
requires training and skill of mind as
well as muscle. st. Paul has always
been good supporter of winter games,
and there is no doubt but that this we'll
tried sport will receive every encourage
ment. AS with other events of like ma
ture, all that Is needed to bring out
much latent talent, is proper apprecia-
ton and strong financial help IN the
way of large attendance and good-sized
gate receipts. If a league is formed, as
proposed. and series of games can be
arranged, the contestants ought to have
the hearty cooperation of all interested
in the promotion of good, healthy and
entertaining outdoor game.
There is a great deal of friendly rival
ry between the Minnesotas and Henri
etsas. The Minnesotas number many
of the polo favorites of few years ago;
they have been champions, and now are
going to do their best to still hold that
honored place. The Henriettas also
have many fine players, and they intend
to put up a corking good game, and do
up any and all who may come their way.
With characteristic enterprise, Company
+ has put seven good men and true on
the field. Their example will probably
be followed by some, if not all, of the
other companies of the national guard.
1t Is to be hoped that this years polo
season will find none but amateur clubs
in the field. There is some prospect
that a number of games will take place
between the teams of st. Paul and of
other towns near at hand. In fact, there
is rumor of such game within a
week OF two.

idiot. FitZ never in his life
fought for purse of more than
$4,000 except upon the occasion
when he met Jim Hall, and he has not
collected that yet. If he is anxious to
meet Creedon, why did not he waive the
purse instead of the side bets?''
