A BIG DEAL IN PINE LANDS.
weyerhauser Syndicate Negotiating .
s6,OOO.OOO Purchase.


The Seattle Washington Intelli-
gencer says it is learned. that a deal is
now in the course of consummation
whereby all he timber lands in the
western part of Washington, all owned
by the Northern Pacific railway, will
pass into the Weyerhauser syndicate.
This, if successfully put through, will
comprise the largest timber land deal
ever closed in the west. From a
coast point of view it is said to be
far-reaching and very important and
confirms that at no very distant date
the timber area of Puget sound would
pass to large holder control.
The Weyerhauser syndica tie has at
it's back millions of dollars with which
to execute such a deal successfully.
While there is no authority beyond
the statement that the deal is in pro-
gress it is only two weeks ago that an
agent of the Weyerhauser syndicate
was in Seattle. From there he went
to Tacoma and from thence disap-
peared. During his stay, although
known to several lumbermen, it is
stated that he gave no intimation that
such a deal was on. 1t is said that a
week was spent by him in the North
ern Pacific timber districts before
coming to Seattle, and that It is on
his report that the deal is about to go
through. 1t is said it will take
SO coo, COO to close the deal.

The Outcome of last weeks meeting
of the company's officers, as referred
to in Saturdays ARGUS, is that one

card in which extensive changes will be
made in the time of running its trains.
The question of faster time is now
under consideration by the officials,
and it is not at all improbable that
they will decide to meet that of COM
peting roads. There is possibility
of them going little farther than
any other in the way of reductions.
There is certainly strong inclination
in that direction at the present time.

Such a Measure Passed by the Council
In 1894, But Is Repealed In the Same
Year-Test of the Reservoir Latter Part
More Free Phones.
According to the opinion of Attor-
ney j. K. Scott. the city has no legal
right to collect taxes for telephone and
telegraph poles and wires. He re-
ported to the council last night having
discovered that an ordinance was
passed in 1894 providing for the col
lection of such a tax, but that in the
same year a repeating ordinance was
adopted.
Chairman F. G. Gall, of the water
works committee, stated fine progress
was making at the reservoir, and I'M
less something unforeseen happened,
the plant would be ready to test along
toward the latter part of the week.
Efforts have been put forth to have
the great Improvement completed be-
fore cold weather interfered, so the
people might ENJOY the benefits of pu-
rified water the coming winter, and
it would seem as if the contractors
were going to be successful.
Six Free Telephones.
A communication was read from
President Jackson, of the Central
Union Telephone company, comply
ing with the request contained in a
resolution recently passed by the
council requesting the company to
furnish the city free of charge six
additional telephones. The commu
nication was ordered filed and the
nit in cd m TO
letter of acceptance in behalf of the.
municipality.
As the company will be unable to
finish it's new depot within the time
allotted in a former ordinance, the
Burlington was granted an extension
until July l next. The company an
nounces that while work on the long
contemplated improvement has been
aggravatingly slow, it is progressing
surely, and when the depot is done
and occupied, which we are told now
will be by next Fourth of July at the
outside, we will have a building that
will be a credit to the city.
Must Get Bills In on Time.
Chairman ConcannoI, of the finance
committee, complained that bills
against the city were not promptly
presented, some arriving at the
clerks office as high as four months
late. A resolution was adopted re-
questing that all bills be presented
the first of each month.
During the past few years. there
have been several accidents caused by
the drawing of wagons on the streets
with one team tandem fashion, the
tongue of the rear vehicle furnishing
tempting mount for children. and
prompted Aid. SOderstrom to intro
duce a resolution, which. was passed,
ordering the preparation of an ordi-
nance prohibiting the drawing by a
single team of more than one wagon.
