Portland, Oct. 8.-Announcement
comes from Tacoma that Clark &
Sweeny, mining brokers of Spokane,
have signed papers whereby they agree
to invest $500, 600 in the construction
of the Tacoma-Seattle electric railroad.
Henry Bucey, local manager of the
company, would neither affirm nor
deny the report, stating that the COM
pany would not be ready to make any
statement of its plans before next week.
It is understood that the Spokane
men named will secure stock, rather
than bonded interest in the company.
Eastern capitalists are reported to be
ready to buy bonds to the amount of
$500, 900, which sum is sufficient to
build the road, leaving the 5000, 900 of
Spokane money to provide the equip
ment.

4 MILE AND A HALF AHEAD
Columbia Proved a Better
Boat Than Shamrock.
FIRST RACE WAS A FINE ONE
Both Windward and Leeward Sail
ing-The Cup Is Safe.

New York, Oct. 18.-The cup which
the old schooner America won so hand
lily against all corners over the course
around the Isle of Wight in 1851, and
brought back across the ocean, will
probably remain here another year, a
defiance to the world. In glorious
breeze, over q windward and leeward
course of 80 miles, the Columbia scored
against the Shamrock today in the first
race of the 1899 series for the trophy.
She bounded across the finish line fully
a mile and half ahead of the chal-
lenger, defeating her by 10 minutes and
IA seconds actual time, or 10 minutes
and seconds corrected time, after al
lowing the six seconds handicap which
the Columbia must concede to the chal-
lenger on account of her longer water
line. 1t was a decisive contest, mag
nificent race, magnificently sailed and
magnificently won.
There was lively jockeying behind
the line before the start, and the Co.
lumbia got the better of it. She clear
ly out-maneuvered her rival, eventually
forcing her over the line first by half
length, but leaving the Columbia in
the weather position. Close hauled on
the starboard tack, the yachts plunged
seaward, heeling to the 12.knot breeze.
When the Columbia, her great yellow
mainsail abroad off to starboard, swept
across the finish line, the Shamrock
was scarcely visible astern, only the
outlines of her sail being seen. Ten
minutes and IL seconds in time elapsed
between the finishing of the Colum bia
and the Shamrock, which means in dis
tance about mile and half.
After the race, while the yachts were
being towed back to their moorings,
Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin
ran up alongside the Columbia. The
Erin's officers and men, led by Sir
Thomas, gave three hearty cheers.
They were quickly responded to with
cheers from the Columbia's men.

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum In
All Articles of Diet.

Prohibits the Use Of Arsenic or Alum I'm
All Articles of Diet.
The law enacted by the Missouri leg
islature, copy of which was recently
published in our columns, and which
prohibits the manufacture or sale of
any article intended for food or to be
used in the preparation of food, which
contains alum, arsenic, ammonia, etc.,
places that state in the lead in the mat
ter of sanitary legislation.
Laws restricting the use of alum in
bread have been in force in England,
Germany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and
several other states, direct legislation
in reference to the sale of alum baking
powders has also been effected. In
several of these states their sale is pro-
hibited unless they are branded to show
that they contain alum, and in the Dis
trict of Columbia, under the laws of
Congress, the sale of bread containing
alum has been made illegal.
Following are the names of some of
the brands of baking powder sold in
this vicinity which are shown by re-
cent analysis to contain alum. House.

were destroyed, Archbishop Feehan's
summer home being the only building
saved. The fire originated in the chapel
during yesper services, and was not dis
covered until it had gained consider

hand was inadequate, and by the time
the engines arrived from Desplaines,
two miles away, nearly every building

Plan to rrap Arninaldo.

New York, Oct. 16.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: While
General Schwan is engaged in scatter
ing the enemy in Cavite province. Gem
erals Lawton and Macarthur are MAX
ing preparations for an important
movement to the north of Manila.
General Macarthur and Lawton will
proceed to the north in the hope OF
trapping Aguinaldo and his forces be-
tweenxthe three columns.
General Schwan's movement to the
southwark of Manila is merely in the
nature of demonstration, and for the
purpose of scattering insurgents who
have intrenched themselves in Cavite
province, the home Of Aguinaldo and
the nest of the rebellion.

ACTIVITY is WIDESPREAD.
Volume and Value Testify to Prevailing
Prosperous Conditions.


Bradstreet's says: Trade activity is
widespread, all volume and value testi-
flying to prevailing prosperous condi-
tions. Only good reports are received
from distributive trade centers, and
some markets report fall demand as
holding out longer than expected.
Railway earnings, bank clearings, re-
turns and quotations of staple prices
are all encouraging, pointing as they
do to maximum volume of business
for this period of the year. Crop re-
turns for October bear our earlier inn
pressions of shortened yields of most
leading agricultural products. Expec-
tation of more moderate yields of lead
ing cereals is not confined to this coun-
try; the worlds wheat crop will admit
tedly be smaller, and rye, barley and
oats yields are not expected to be SO
large as year ago. The higher range
of prices of all staples, and particularly
of agricultural products, will furnish
a profitable balance of producers.
The liberality of foreign demand is,
perhaps, best known in the September
report of exports of leading products.
Shipment of breadstuffs are as large as
those of August, and there was natur-
ally heavy gain in cotton exports.
which are doubled those of the same
month year ago. Totals of leading
exports show an increase of % per cent
over September, 1896, but a decrease
of 8.5 per cent from September 1897,
which witnessed very heavy shipments
of breadstuffs.
Wheat, including -four, shipments

What the Flukes Cost.

New York, Oct. 18.-The New
York Yacht Club, which has the man
agement of the cup races, is the prin-
cipaa financial sufferer by the failures.
The officers say that each attempt to
race cost the club $4,000. This in
cludes the club steamboat, the half
dozen tugs, and the incidental ex-
penses. 1t will be seen that the club
has thus far expended $21, 200 in the
attempts to pull off one race. 1t must
expend at least So, 900 more, inasmuch
as one yacht must win three times.
The seven fukes have cost probably not
far from $25. 200, which has come
out of the pockets of the people who
wanted to see the yachts meet.
