Connolly of New Brunswick and Jimmy
Dime of Amsterdam, n. Y, met in the
28-foot arena of the Cleveland Athletic
Club tonight in the presence of 5000 peo-
pie, who paid 81 so each to see these clever
lightweights battle twelve rounds for a
purse of $1,000 and side stake, the amount
of which will not be stated on account of

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 10.-The steamer

ship ashore twelve miles west of the Car

ARIZONA ROUTE CHANGE,

Plans of the Southern
Pacific Road.
He Admits That the Statements Pub.

Correct.

PHOENIX, ARIz., Jan. 10.-Colonel Fred
Crocker and J. Sloat Fassett, ex-Collector
of the Port of New York, left Phoenix in
Colonel Crocker's private car tonight,
their destination being San Francisco.
Just before the train pulled out Colonel
Crocker consented to an interview, the first
since his arrival in Phoenix. He and Mr.
Fassett expressed themselves as much
pleased with the climate of the Salt River
Valley and the commercial possibilities of
Phoenix, Mr.. Fassett stating that he might
invest some money in local enterprises,
probably irrigation.
When asked about the proposed change
of route of the Southern Pacific system
Colonel Crocker admitted the truth of the
statements published in The CALL, but he
said:
1--WE cannot tell how soon. The en-
gineering difficulties to be encountered are
great and it viii require some little time
to build it. 1t is true that this proposed
change would make the route TO the coast
fifty miles longer, but we presume this Will
be more than compensated by the added
scenic features.
1--WE recognize of course that financially
it is better for the Southern Pacific to run
through this rich country rather than
through the desert, as it does at present.
"We propose TO start a surveying party
over the proposed route late in the spring,
or as soon as the snow is off the noun
tains. We did not intend this information
to become public property at this time,
but since it has been published | can see
no harm in admitting the truth OF the
statements "

PUGET SOUNDS LOSS.
Lumber Trade With South A Africam Coun
tries Failing OF.

Lumber Trade Uith South african C0un-
tries Falling OF.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Jan. g.
The revival in the lumber business of
Puget Sound, which has been on during
the past fifteen months, steadily increas-
ing during that time as a result of the
opening up of the South African country,
is seriously threatened on account of the
Transvaal trouble. Millions of feet of
lumber have been shipped from Puget
Sound to Delegoa Bay during the past
year, and there has been a steady increase
in the shipments each month.
The first indication of the probable loss
of the Puget Sound trade in this direc-
ton came a few days ago, when firm of
lumber agents here wa notified that the
correspondent at johannesburg would not
be able to make any more charters until
the threatened trouble in the Transvaal
subsidized. The news is causing feeling of
depression in lumber circles here, and is
regarded as significant of considerable loss
to Western Washington.
South American wars five years ago
brought almost total stagnation in Puget
Sound lumber circles, and the present
revival was caused largely bv the South
African trade. A few cargoes go to Cape
Town, but the majority go direct to Della
goa Bay, which IS the natural port of
Johannesburg and the Transvaal country.
In addition to sailing vessels engaged in
this trade, several big tramp steamers, car
rying more than 100000 feet of lum Der
each, have carried lumEer to Delagoa Bay.

TRAGEDY At RIO VISTA,
Joseph Dadami Ends His Life
With d Bullet From
a Rifle.
Domestic Troubles Believed to Have
Deranged the Unfortunate's
Mind.

RIO VISTA, CAL, Jan. 10. - Joseph
Dadami, proprietor of the California Hotel
at this place, committed suicide this morn
ing by shooting himself with 22-caliber
rifle, the bullet passing through his heart.
Previous to the shooting he stabbed him
self several times in the breast, but did not
succeed in reaching vital spot. At the
time of committing the deed he was un-
doubtedly out of his mind.
Dadami's domestic life has of late been
unhappy, and about two weeks ago his
wife left him, going to San Francisco and
taking with her, so it is said, consider
able sum of money. Dadami took her
action very much to heart, and his deed OF
this morning is the sequel.
The deceased was about 36 years of age,
and had resided in this vicinity for several
years. The funeral will take place Sunday
next, ana will be under the auspices of the
local lodge of Knights OF Pythias, of which
he was a mem Der.

Purity in Politics.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Jan. 10
CONSERVATION in local politics has been
caused by the announcement that a nom
partisan political club has been organized
with some of Santa Barbara's S most promi-
nent citizens at its head. Those who are
hungrily looking for office at the forth
coming elections, or planning to slgnalize
themselves by great political service at the
next National election, are dismayed at
the prospect that power as formlda BILE as
is this unexpected element has entered
the arena and threatens their control.
AS matter of fact this organization
does not number an office seeker in its
personnel, but is made up of men who are
dissatisfied with the careless manner in
which local politics have hitherto been
abandoned to wire-pullers and office
seekers, while the better class of citizens
has looked indifferently on, rarely exert
ing itself to 20 to the polls and never
interfering with corruption anG self
seeking in the interests OF good govern
ment. The men who have come out of
their retirement to form this club numbe
some of the leading bankers, professional
and business men, and they not only pro-
pose to begin work at the prim aries, but
to see that the very best citizens are called
out. The result OF this movement will
probably be a series of surprises and the
smashing of States
