Seattle and Tacoma Taxes.

City Treasurer Krug says his attention
has been called to a statement in Ia
coma paper exulting over the fact that
while Seattle taxpayers are slow to pay
city taxes. the Tacoma people are very
prompt. The fact is that the Seattle taxes
will not become delinquent till March 1,
whereas in Tacoma they are delinquent
October /. The Tacoma delinquent tax
list occupies nearly four pages Of the Led
ger, and shows that so far from being be-
hind Tacoma, Seattle is far ahead.

AN IMPORTANT LINE.
What the Seattle & Northeast
crn Will Accomplish.
, GREAT NORTHERN SHORT CUT.
IL WIN Develop . Rich Ssction-Oakss'
New Passenger Rates.

The Seattle 4 Northeastern railroad. 70
build which . company was incorporated
on Saturday by Judge Thomas Burke and
John Leary. promises to be one Of the
most important roads in the Sound coun-
try. The projectors deny that It Is IN
tended as merely a branch OF the Great
Eorthern. and say that it is an entirely in
dependent enterprise, but it is evident
that it is to be . cutoff for the main lire.
The projected line follows the route Of .
preliminary survey made some years ago
by r. II. Thomson. Starting from the
Great Northern at Ballard 1t would pretty
closely parallel the Lake Shore little be-
yond Woodinville. then cross It and. after
following tho county line for . few
miles. run over the divide into the Sno-
qualmie valley. Then it would run
up Cherry creek. over the divide and
down Youngs river to the Skykomish,
near 6ultAn City. where it would connect
with the Great Northern main line again.
The distance would be about forty-two
miles. cutoff Of about twelve miles a.
compared with the Great Northern line
By way Of Everett and the shore lire. with
the additional advantage of avoiding the
risks of slides, which will for years to
come blockade the line along the shore
unless some very expensive work - done
10 prevent them.
Mr.. Thomson. who is familiar with the
section which would Do traversed, said Of
the project yesterday:
For q short Line this would b the best paying

line, and viii render the building Of that line
unnecessary. After IL crosses the SucQualmie
and begins 20 20 up Cherry creek IL
passes through one OF the most msgnif-
cent bodies Of standing timber in
ths ststa The road would tap the
entire resources Of the snoqusimie valley from
Fall City down. and branches could easily be
carried TO the iron mines and to the new galcna
belt recently discovered on the north fork of
tine snoquairnie river Coal deposits are also
known to exist in tina. district The maximum
grade would he per cent. The line would cross
the divide to the snoquslmis valley within
nfty-flve tee; OF the elevation NJ which the
Lake shove road crosses. but would not have as
far to descend, a. il would cross the river on
bridge at high elevation
Judge Burke and Mr.. Leary express con-
fidence that the road will pay as an in
dependent line, regardless of any arrange
ment that may be made with the Great
Northern for the running Of through
trains over il. While they refuse to talk
on the point, it is understood that the
money for the construction of the road has
already been secured, and engineers will
be sent out in May to make the final
survey.

The Columbia & Puget Sound railroad
has now fully recovered from the effects of
the recent storm. and the coal has been
hauled away from the mines, SO that there
need be no further delay in operation.
There were several small slides on the
Franklin branch last week, but they have
ell been cleared away, as have those which
have occurred on the new Maple VALLEY
branch. The first train since the begin.
ming OF the storm went up the latter
branch on Saturday. taking large guam

The transcontinental railroad confer.
ence, which met in st. Paul last month,
was to have adjusted passenger as we'll rs
freight rates, but the committee on that
subject has never reported. although it IS
understood that it agreed on plan of ad-
justment. The Pioneer Press says the rea-
son given is that the Great Northern will
not be ready for through passenger service
for two months, and that as that road
holds the key to the situation there is no
need for a change at present. A member
of the committee says that it is also wait
ing to see what the Canadian Pacific
will do.

And these helpful women are not all

remember one OF them who was past
middle life, who had never been beautiful
and who was in very moderate circum-
stances With neither youth nor beauty
nor wealth. and with sorrows OF her
own over which she might have brooded
and become sour and old -and yet how
everybody loved herl How they crowded
around her--young and old. rich and

Week after week the cheering plaudits
