Much complaint is made on the part of

mills are running to their fun capacity,

Wheat Is moving very slowly, most Of
the shipments coming to Puget sound
ports going directly to San Francisco,
where the mills are offering better price
than Is offered here, because California

Gas Company VIII Have Lampa Made
Here for street Lights.
The report published in an evening
paper that the Seattle Gas aud Electric
company had discovered that il could not
live up To the terms of its contract with
the city relative TO street lighting owing
to the Iowness of its bid, is unfounded.
John Mather. general manager of the COM
pany. was seen yesterday and he said that
the report was entirely false and that the
company had no intention OF going back
on its contract. and has never in any way
figures as accepted by the council. Mr..
Mathsr said yesterday:
we are going ahead with the gasoline
proposition as fast as possible. and in
day or two will have all the figures from
firms in town for the manufacture of the
30i lamps necessary To carry out the
terms of the contract We viii certainly
have the lamps made right here and keep
the money In the city. We are setting
the poles for the electric service and wire
for the lines will be here in about a week.
The supply of wire both here and in San
Francisco became exhausted, necesSitat-
ing our sending East, otherwise We would
have had the wire here some time since.
In fact, everything Is lovely, and We pro-
pose carving out the terms of our con-
tract to the letter. the reference TO the
nigger IN the wooipiie' made by an even
ing paper Is something I don't under
stand.
The members of the board of public
works deny having received any intima-
ton that the company could not carry out
the terms of Its contract, and so far as Is
known by that body the contract will be
fully carried out.
