TO CONTROL A. TOWN.

Huge Mortgage on the Everett
(Wash.) Land Company.

Seattle. Wash. june. 27.-John D. Rock
efeler did not pass through the Pacific
northwest for mere pleasure. The resig-
nation of General Manager Browpell of
the Everett Land company was part of a
programme arranged by the financ3er him
self to get control of the Everett Land
company, with it's s., 900 or $1,000 900
worth of property.
The fact came to the surface by suit
filed in the federal court by the Central
Trust company of New York City to fore
close a mortgage of $4,000 o0 against the
Everett Land company.
Mr.. Rockefeller owns this mortgage, and
by foreclosing it he will come into possess
sion of more than three times its value.
The act, taken in connection with his re-
cent move in foreclosing a mortgage
against the Monte Cristo mines and con-
contractor, which property his representa-
tive purchased for s3750OO practically
makes Mr.. Rockefeller the landlord of Ev-
erett, with its 1900 or 1000 people for ten
ants. for the mortgage covers nearly
everything within the city limits, besides
thousands of acres in the country.

FOR A SPINE, $4,000.
Richard DOlman Suing Santa Fe
For Personal Injuries.

The suit of Richard Dolman against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
road company, asking for $4,000 dam
at work in the shops in November, 1897,
which has been having hearing in dis
trict court since Friday, will probably
be concluded tonight or tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. Dolman, who is a brother of
Probate Judge Dolman, at the time he
received his injury, was under a dining
car in the carpenter shop prying up on
a heavy gas tank to get it into position
for hanging under the car. Another
employee was prying on the opposite
side, but the other employee, it is al
legged, let down on his side in such a
manner as to throw the whole weight
was wrenched so that he has had to
wear a steel jacket ever since.
The Kansas statutes make a railroad
company liable to an employee for in
juries which result from the careless
ness of co-emplOye, but the supreme
court has decided that the employees
must be engaged in work necessary to
the operation of the road. The line of
defense is that the work was not done
in a necessary manner, and witnesses
have been introduced to show the lOca-
ton of the different shops, method of
handling cars, and other details in
connection with the work.
Mr.. DOlman'S attorneys are H G.
Stafford, Charles Hayden of Holton, and
Mr.. Dolman's brother, John Dolman of
st. Joseph. who was formerly connect
. ed with the legal department of the
Rock Island. The defense is conducted
by w. Littlefield and o. J. Wood.

Fog In Photography.

One serious and at the same time I'M
suspected source Of fog in photography
is often due to the fact that the black.
ing has slightly worn off the lens
mount and There is reflection which
results in loss of brilliancy in the
negative. Constant use and endless
cleaning Of the lens In time wear the
blocking off, and this should be attend
ed to and all metal parts kept we'll
BACKED. Where lenses are mounted in
aluminium still more care is necessary
in this respect, as, wherever in such
cases the backing wears off, white light
instead Of yellow Zig ht is reflected into
tho lens.
Sometimes diaphragms of the iris
pattern arc greatly at fault in this re.
spect Ely reason of its construction the
leaves Or vanes in this diaphragm are in
constant friction whio being set, and
thus become polished and reflective, for
which reason some photographers avoid
having iris diaphrasms in their lenses,
Notwithstanding their convenience. A
careful examination Of the apparatus
will insure safety in this matter. Stops
Of the ordinary pattern become in time
little better than bare metal. especially
at the edges of the aperture.

partly perhaps from, rumors of Japan
brought overland from mouth to mouth
