nd, in addition, an extensive bituminous

and, in addition, an extensive btuminous
coal field.
It is said that within the coming year
arrangements will also be perfected to
continue the main line OF the road tc
North Yakima and q branch to Golden
dale. The construction Of the line will
tap resourceful country, bringing the
cars into the wheat fields Of the Klickital
region and affording a much shorter hau
to tidewater of farm products.
The line Of the proposed railroad az
originally surveyed ran from Vancouver
in northeasterly direction. and up the
north fork Of Lewis river, through the
Klickitst pass, and thence across the
Cascade divide to North Yakima, q dis
lance of about $50 miles. The line runs
through an immense body OF fine timber
IN Clarke county and on the north fork
of Lewis river, IN places running as high
as 900, 900 feet to the acre, by a moderate
estimate. There are also extensive beds
of Ignite coal in and near Klckitat pass,
the quality of which compares favorably
with other Ignite of this region. There
are extensive deposits of copper on Cop
per creek, and fine brown hematite iron
ore is found on one of the forks of Lewis
river, yielding 90 per cent. of iron.
The road is completed and in operation
out to near Battle Ground, 10 miles from
Vancouver. About 80 miles from Van
couver the line passes Amboy. where
there is fine prairie OF about 1000 acres,
and few miles beyond is the Chelatchie
prairie, about four miles long and three
fourths of a mile wide. The distance
from Vancouver to Klicktat pass is about
30 miles.
Portland people realize that the extern
sion OF the Is miles OF logging road in
Clark county, formerly known as the
Vancouver, Klickitat & Yakima Railway
Company, into North Yakima, is going
to be another important feeder to Port
land.
A prominent railroad official in Port
land says: at will open up and make
tributary to Portland territory which,
in point of wealth, will excel the William
cite valley. The new road proposes to 20

namely, the wheat districts of the Kick

proposition as a sound commercial in
vestment, which, while it may be little
slow in materializing, is sure to bring
forth handsome results, in which Port
land will get her full share"

The Northern Pacific Railroad Company
Must Pay This for Back Taxes.
4 Big LIFT TO YAKIMA TAXPAYERS
Prosecuting ATTORNEYS snyder and
PrebIe DO Good Work for she
County-News Relating 90 shat
New Railroad for Yakima.

Judge Davidson handed down de-
cision this week that means very much
to the taxpayers OF Yakima county; in
fact, We might say without fear OF con-
trsdiction that it is the most important
matter from the peoples standpoint that
has ever been at issue in this county.
In 1896 the Northern Pacific Railway
Company brought two actions to enjoin
this county and the county officers from
proceeding TO collect back taxes on GER
tain lands and at the same time similar
actions were brought in other counties.
The acreage covered is very large and the
amount involved is about $4,000. The
case was brought to an issue last January
on demurrer, when F. NJ. Dudley, of
Spokane, and Messrs. Crowley and Gross
cup, Of Tacoma, appeared for the railroad
company, and our prosecuting attorneys,
Messrs. Snyder & PEBBLE, for the county.
In nearly all of the counties where these
actions we're brought additional legal
services were employed to assist the
counties officers, which always added
great expense to the proceedings, but not
withstanding the array of legal talent
opposed to them, our prosecuting attor-
neys fought the battle alone and fought
1t we'll, and to-day they have just cause
to be proud of their victory.
The Northern Pacific people claimed
that they were exempt from taxation be-
cause OF the fact that patents had not
been issued for their lands and they also
claimed that certain irregularities had
occurred on the part Of county officials in
making the assessments, and for these
reasons refused to pay their taxes and
sought to enjoin the county from collect
ing them. When the case came to issue
last January they made every effort to
gain their point and their legal represen-
tatives did their level best to win their
case, but Prosecuting Attorneys Snyder
& Preble were alive to every move, and
with right on their side and an honest
Judge on the bench, they were too much
Tor the railroad people.
The points OF law, which had never
been passed upon by the supreme court
Of this state, presented several very intri-
cate questions involving as they did the
several systems Of taxation that have
been in vogue in this state and territory
during it's lifetime, and considerable at
tention was attracted by the cases not
only in this county but all oven the state.
The argument consumed over two
days and after this oral argument bad
been concluded. at the request Of Judge
Davidson, it was put into briefs, which
were very voluminous, and thus submit
ted for the courts decision. His con-
illusions OF law are on file and show care.

From Portland 90 Yakima Direct.
The Portland, Vancouver & Yakima
Railroad Company is the successor of the
Vancouver & Klickitat Company, and ex-
poets to extend a proposed line to the in
terror of the state of Washington, tapping
the Northern Pacific at North Yakima,
thus affording the saving Of SO hours
travel to passengers and from two to five
days in the transportation in freight.
With many obstacles presenting them
selves, the new road was built to Salmon
creek, when, through stress of circum-
stances, the work OF construction was
temporarily suspended.
For months past arrangements have
been under way on the part OF men with
means to gam control OF this property
and carry out these plans. This has been
effected through the incorporation OF the
Portland, Vancouver & Yakima Com
pany, which now succeeds to all the in
terests OF the original company. The
officers of the new organization are: l..
Gerlinger. Of Vancouver, President; j..
ii. Hubbard, of Portland, Vice President !;
and George T. Gerlinzer. OF Vancouver

at once to extend The road TO Chilatchie
prairie, fyom the present terminus on
Salmon creek, making a full distance of
10 miles. This extension will open up
the finest timber belt on the Pacific coast.

Albany. April l.-Governor Blacks
scheme to preserve the forest OF the
Adirondacks by having the state pur-
chase Sl.000.000 worth Of woodland ia
that territory occupied the attention
of the senate finance committee ia exc
ecutive session. and after most heat
ed discussion the committee decided 10
report favorably Senator Elsworth's
bill providing for the same, with some
very important amendments, which
We're suggested and agreed TO by the
committee.
In the first place. the amendments
provide that Of the Sl00O,0o0 TO be eN-
pended 100000 shall be raised by a spe-
cial bond issue and the remaining 5000 =
600 shall be taken from the moneys in
the treasury
The other amendments provide that
no land shall be condemned except that
abutting on lands now owned by the
state. ana the purchase and condemna-
ton of lands is limited to the Adiron-
dack park and not to the forest pre-
sorve as the original bin provided for
When the commission appointed 20
acquire the lands cannot agree with
an owner as to price and the case is
taken to the court of claims, an amend
ment provides that the court shall sit
in the county where the land is To-
Gated, for the purpose of personally
viewing said land.
II persons are found cutting anything
but soft spruce on any forest land i'm
the state, the commission. rnder an
amendment, has the power to condemn
that land. whether it be in the Adiron-
dack park or not.
Another amendment provides that
where a seller Of land reserves the right
to cut timber he cannot do so within
ten rods of a lake or pond. Under the
original bin lumber could not be cut
within ten rods of a brook.
1t is believed that the bill will be
pushed through the legislature under a
most vigorous fight, I'm which some OF
the senator's representing the northern
counties viii be the aggressors.
The senate hnance committee has
agreed 70 report favGrably Senator Ellis
wortksr bill appropriating $4,000 for tho
maintenance of the st. Lawrence reser-

Japancso Imniere'ian Causes serious Dis
turhnnce AT Honolulu.
san Francisco. April 1.-The steamer
CITY OF Tio dc Jenciro brings Honolulu
advices to the effect that the Hawaiian
government has had serious trouble
with the Japanese consul over the ques-
tion of Japanese immigration. TWO
japanese steamers recently arrived at
Honolulu with heavy consignments Of
Japanese lalorers. The collector Of
customs. after an investigation, decid-
ed that 4i6 of the immigrants must
return to their native country. claim
ing that they failed to come up to The
requirements Of the treaty stipulations.
The Hawaiian court sustained the coll
lector and the coolies were ordered re-
turned TO Japan.
The incident created considerable ex-
cltemcnt among japanese colonists. and
at a meeting they adopted resolutions
calling upon their government to inves-
tigate the case. Japan's representative
az Honolulu has sent o request to Tokyo
for war vessel and has advised the
captains of the steamers TO return the
rejected immigrants to Japan promis-
ing that the company shall be reim-
hursed if Hawaii has violated It's treaty.
The whole trouble has been caused by
the local immigration companies, who
have attempted to bring men in without
proper authority The japanese openly
say they intend to cause trouble for tho
Hawaiian government over the restric-
tion OF immigration. The latest infrac-
tion Of the law IS the brutal murder OF
an interpreter in the island of Maui.
-Four Japanese ringleaders in the affair
were arrested. Later a mob of over 400
japanese marched ten miles 70 liberate
the murderers, but We're prevented by
50 white men called out by the sheriff.
