TO BRIDGE KETTLE RIVER
Application From IL. T.. Young of
CuTIeVy Lake.

Washington, Feb. PHI. +. Young of
Curlew lake, Stevens county, Washing
ton, has made application to the Indian
bureau for permission to build a bridge
across Kettle river, on the Colville Indian
reservation, about 80 miles above its
mouth. This bridge is much needed, for
at the season of the year when the water
is high, travellers can not use the ferries
or fords, and no supplies can be taken
in to the miners and others on the resery-
alton By having the stream bridged
says Mr.. Young, it would be of great con-
venience to the travelling public, as well
as improving the mail facilities in that
section. Representative Hyde has inter
ested himself in the matter, and has ask
ed the commissioner of Indian affairs TO
grant the permit desired by Mr.. Young.

rising, as wages and provisions slowly

WEST VIRGINIA COAL.
A RumOr to the Effect That the Ohio
Railroads Have Refused to Haui
Coal Mined In This State.

Cleveland, O., July 12.-Positive in.
formation has been received in this city
that the Ohio railroads have decided to
refuse to haul West Virginia coal. A
prominent coal operator said this morn.
ing, that unless the miners are repre-
sented at meeting of the boards of arbi-
tration at Pittsburg to morrow the whole
thing will be farce. "The miners are
not In position to ask for arbitration"
said he; "they do not want it. They have
more than fulfilled their boasts. They
have accomplished as much, if not more,
than they said they would. They are in a
position to dictate. In my opinion the
strike will last sixty days at least"
Colonel Myron T. Herrick, receiver of
the Wheeling & Lake Erie, was ap-
preached upon the sub ject of Ohio roads
refusing to haul West Virginia coal. "We
are not refusing to haul it," said he, ''and
have not heard that there is any such
movement on foot among the roads,"
Chief P. M. Arthur of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers said: "I don't
see how we are at all involved in this
strike problem. OF course we naturally
sym pathize with the strikers, but don't
anticipate any refusal on the part of the
railroad men to haul COAL"

FROM A COMMERCIAL VIEW.

As commercial center Taos for more
than 100 years has held an important po-
sition in the great southwest. In the
early days of the present century great
feed mart existed here. From here the
trappers and hunters started, going as
far north as Wyoming and west to the
Pacific coast. When the packs were full,
back they came to find ready market
for this furs taken on the trip. Here ex-
petitions against the fierce and warlike
tribes of Indians in the unexplored west
were fitted out. In those days Santa Fe
and Taos we're rivals in business sense,
and in these two towns, thousands of
miles from civilization fortunes were
rapidly made, and pretty generally as
rapidly dissipated. But westward the star
of empire took it's way, railroads we're
built, civilization with Its keen compe-
tition came, tarried short while and then
passed on, finally conquering the vast re-
gion over which but few years ago, as
time is counted, the buffalo and Indians
reigned supreme. With the coming Of
civilization departed the great trading
posts, and today Taos is but thriving
country town. But let no one imagine
business is dead. Four large establish
ments supply the wants of the people in
and around the town.
Don Juan Santistevan, B. Gusdorf, VIM.
L. Mcclure, and A. G. Muller all carry
stocks of general merchandise that are
the equal of any found in the largest
cities of the territory, and are busy from
early morning until late at night. Aside
from the farming communities in the
valley, large herds of sheep are kept in
the mountains and on the mesas to the
east, and the supplies for the sheepmen
are furnished by the Taos merchants. In
several of the neighboring plazas stores
carrying good stocks are located and do a
good business. The people Of the valley
and in the mountains are apparently we'll
to do and believe in enjoying themselves,
which results in large volume of trade
for the different dealers in the necessities
and lururies Of life. 0. L. r.

HAVE STRUCK SNAGS.

he Made Before An Adjustment
Will he Reached.

Washington, July 12.-The tariff con.
ferees have struck several snags. Upon
all important features there has been no
agreement, and the outlook to-day was
that several reports would have to be
made before an adjustment could be
reached.
The house conferees are standing solidly
by their bill, and the senate conferees are
not less tenacious. The senate conferees
have laid before the house members the
condition in the senate, where there is no
actual majority of Republicans, and where
other than Republican votes are necessary
to pass the bill or adopt the conference
report. They asserted that in 1894 the
Democrats were in better shape in the
senate than the Republicans are now, as
they had an actual majority, yet the
house was finally compelled to accept the
senate bill, in order to pass it.
