From the Seattle Times.
The Great Northern Railway Company
has just announced a rate of 60 cents per
100 pounds on soap slush from Northern
Pacific coast points to Chicago and Mis-
sissippi and Missouri river points. Some
one has requested a rate on this commod-
ity, but there does not appear to be many
people who know what soap slush is. One
ingenious gentleman said that it was the
product of certain small lakes on the line
of the road that is filled with a thick
silica water which, when ones hands
are washed in it, give a lather that would
bring joy to the heart of any washerwo-
man or tonsorial artist. When the hair

THE LIBEL CASE WAS DISMISSED.
Fred Chamberlain and the Boston
Traveller Won Victory.

Boston, Jan. 12.-The case of criminal
libel brought against Frederick ID. Cham
berlin and the Boston Daily Traveller by
Mrs. Josephine c. Woodbury.. the famous
Christian scientist. for publication OF
certain exposures of Mrs. Woodbury., in
connection with a suit for damages
against the latter for the alienation of
his wife's affections, which latter case is
still pending. came to a. sudden and SEN
sational ending today by the dismissal
of the case and the discharge of the de-
PENDANTS.
A. NJ. Potter, a brother of Mrs. Cham
berlin, the only witness called, was on the
stand under a hot fire of cross-eXaminl-
ton by the defense. The prosecuting
counsel objected to further cross-eXam-
nation, but Judge Deway overruled the
objection.
Counsel Chaplin became excited, and
refused to accept the rulings, and refused
to put in further testimony, whereupon
the court found no probable cause, and
discharged the defendants, in spite of the
protest of the prosecution.
Counsel threatened to bring another
similar suit, and was severely arraigned
by the court.

THE G. P. R. EXTENSION
ROAD FROM NEW DENVER TO
WARDS CROSSING.
4 Determined Effort to Capture the
Tonnage and Smelling of
kootenny.

Rossland, b. c., Jan. 10-News has been
received here from Nelson that Robert
Marpole. superintendent of the Canadian
Pacific railway, is there perfecting ar
rangements for the immediate construc-
ton of a broad guage road from New
Denver on SLOGAN lake, down SLOGAN river
to Wards crossing, on the Columbia &
Kootenay railway. This means that as
far as Kootenay is concerned the
Canadian Pacific railway has entered up
on an active and aggressive policy. In
conjunction with the road now being con-
structed along the Columbia river be-
tween Trail and Robson, the Importance
of the SLOGAN river road is easily seen.
1t is the most important event in the
scheme of Canadian Pacific railroad ag-
grandizement yet conducted in Kootenay.
1t simply means that the Canadian Pa
cific railway is making a strong and de-
termined effort to capture the tonnage
and smelling of Kootenay. The proposed
road will open up the great silver-lead
mines of the SLOGAN, and give them 4
market for their product at the Trail and
Nelson smelters. Particularly will the re-
suits be great in regard to the former,
as it is an open secret that all the de-
tails for the changing of the Trail COP
per smelter into a silver-lead stack have
long been contemplated, and the neces-
sary machinery ordered. 1t is also re-
ported that Heinze has a man in SLOGAN
now contracting for the future output OF
several of the big mines there.
Another piece of startling news is that
| a party of Canadian Pacific railway sur
veyors, under c. e. Perry as head en-
gineer have left Nelson for Balfour, anc
will run the preliminary survey lines Of
a road around the lower Kootenay Lake
through the Fort Steele country, through
the Crows Nest pass road to Macleod
on the main line of the Canadian Pacific
railway. This is the first active NOV
yet made in the construction of this road
and it seems from present appearance
} as if the Canadian Pacific railway wer
} making preparations to build and operat
? the road themselves. 1t is reported tn
, work of active construction will besi
as soon as the conditions of the weathe
will permit.

rush, and Creedon had to clinch to avoid
him. Williams landed hard on Creedon S
face but the latter caught Williams wind
hard
In the fourth Creedon's left hand swing
knocked Williams off his feet, and a left
handler inside of a minute put him down
once more. Creedon forced the fight, and

rest of the round Williams merely stood
up and was punished until the referee
gave the fight to Creedon.
