How the Fish Industry VIII Grow
Views of Express Manager.

SUPERINTENDENT NJ. G. Hail. of the North
ern Pacific Express Company. predicts
that a great business will spring out of
the fishing industry within the next few
years. His company now handles about
a car load OF fish from Seattle every day,
and he is very sangu.ne as TO the future.
He said yesterday:
"The fishing industry of Puget sound is
hound TO show a wonderful increase with
IN the next few years. Our company is
doing considerable business with shippers
now. from Seattle and other points on the
Sound. and from Gray's Harbor which
sends out a great deal Of fish. The fish
here are OF the very best quality, and
they offer the advantage of changing as
the season advances, so that almost any
taste can be satisfied. Take salmon, for
example We have first one kind, early
I'm the year. and as soon as that is gone.
another and then another In few years
7 think we will be carrying fish out OF
Seattle by the train load. instead OF by the
car load as at prestent."
Nr Hall is in the city on his periodical
visit Of inspection.
Among the shipments yesterday was
car Of fish from Butler 4 Colby, consigned
20 Wooster, Mass.

Tho Sioux City Murder.

Sioux City, Iowa. Aug. T.-Startling de-
velopments came 10 light today in con-
nection with Sunday mornings double ira
eedy I'm which Max Noack and Ira Minter.
alias Hazel Hammond. lost their lives.
The most important find was the discovery
OF an imprint Of a strange mans hand
on the dust in the room in which the
bodies were found. and an exit to the alley
below, not noticed before. A hammer
which appears 10 have human blood on 1t
was found. IT is now thought this hammer
figured in the killing. The theory of dou-
bio murder, with robbery as the motive,
is regaNed as fully confirmed.
Late this afternoon warrants were
sworn out charging Maud Hoyte and Dan
Berry. pugilist. formerly of Omaha.
with murder I'm the first degree. and they
were both placed under arrest. The Off
GERS have become convinced that Noack
and Ora Minter were killed by a third
party, whose identity is yet unknown. for
the purpose of robbery. telegram TO
the Journal from Shelton. Ncb., says
Noack was the son of a wealthy farmer
living near that city. The dead girl was
n member of the Methodist church at
Central City. Neb., where her father
lives. and she moved in the best society
before coming here three months ago.

tary was instructed 10 forward copy

the matter was brought 20 the attention
OF the chamber by j. F. Trowbridge, act
ing Puget sound superintendent OF the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company, who
asked that such resolutions be drafted
and copies sent 70 each Washington sen
ator with q request that they use their IN

an interesting discussion regarding the es-

The action OF the city council IN passing

be followed by prompt acceptance on tne
part OF the companies. As Tar as can -oe
learned. the franchises are acceptable 70
the companies, and the only objection
urged is that the council could have given
better satisfaction by passing also the two
other franchises remaining for consloera-
ton. The franchises taken together pro-
vide for a general shifting OF tracks, and
to that extent necessarily supplement one
another.
IL fs probable that an early meeting OF

yesterday that all the details connected

thusiastic meeting last evening at the
First Methodist Protestant church TO hear

S. Phillips, Seattle's other representative
at the convention, not being able to be
present at this meeting. will be heard at
the next rally. MIR. Lewis. with his Gus
tomary enthusiasm, gave an exceedingly
interesting narrative of the convention,
relating just enough of the amusing Incl
dents and sayings seen and heard, along
with the serious feature OF the great

TO all present.
The keynote of the convention was a
burning zeal for the extension of Christ 8
kingdom through work for good citizen

delegates go to their homes in almost
every civilized country of the globe. II is
impossible to estimate what good may be

PlRRET MAY Be DROPPED.
The Dashing Young Librarian Too Gay
and Too Recently Naturalized.

The library commission viii hold a meet
Ing Friday, and II Is more than likely that
an interesting discussion will take place.
The trouble in the affairs Of the public
library seems 10 have arisen over the Sc
lection OF Peter h. Pirret TO succeed J.
D. Atkinson as librarian. Mr.. Pirret's ap
pointment does not take effect until Sep
TENDER l. and at the meeting Friday il
"a expected that his appointment viii be
reconsidered The main issue involved is
that Mr. Pirret was not citizen Of the
United States at the time OF his appoint
uent. Mr. Plrret admits this: he did not
take out his naturalization papers until
last Saturday. He has lived In this country
50 long that he thought II was unnecessary
for him 20 take out papers. and his lack
OF knowledge on this point Will likely
furnish the cause for his dismissal
Besides this there had been complaint
made that Mr.. Pirret did not attend 20 his
work as he should. that he vas discour-
teous TO patrons OF the library, and in
other ways inattentlye TO his duties. Mr..
Pirrets difficulty with Justice W. p Nc

ter. although the trouble between the two
occurred eighteen months ago.
