TOPICS Or The DAY.

The Government schools were
crowded Monday by children ask
ing for admission. Such we under.
stand was more especially the case
in the High School, which has now
become free school, and OF course
holds the reputation of being the
best school in the Islands. 1t is to
be hoped that all children, big or
small, as long as qualified by previ-
ous schooling, will be enabled to
enter the High School.
1t is pleasing to notice that the
good work planned by the promot-
ers of the Housekeepers' League is
still going on, and that there are
prospects of successful results Of
the program laid out, We hope
that large number of ladies will
attend the meeting to he held to-
morrow to arrange for further or
ganization, but even il only a few
attend the promoters can feel as
sured that they will have the hearty
support-fnancially and otherwise
of many who perhaps are unable
to be in personal attendance at
meetings. Let the good work 60 on
and we shall some day get cook
who can cook.

BARK WILMA BURNED.
Was Loading Lumber and Had Many
Thousands of Feet in Her Hold,

TACOMA, Oct. 1.-THE Anne
lean bark Wilma of 1863 tons,
owned in San Francisco, was to-
tally destroyed by fire tonight in
Tacoma harbor. About 8 o'clock
she was found to be ablaze. Tugs
went out to her, but were unable
to extinguish the fire with their
small hose. The ship was cut
loose from st. Paul wharf to pre-
vent her from setting fire to other
vessels. The fire department
wanted her towed up to the
wharves, where it was thought
the fire could be put out with the
fire engines.
Before this could be attempted
the flames had gained such head
way that tugs gave up trying to
get hold of her. She burned all
night, with the flames shooting
an illumination witnessed by the
entire city.
The wilma arrived from San
Francisco two weeks ago and was
loading lumber for Sydney. She
was under charter by Charles
Nelson and had over a quarter
million feet of lumber in her hold.
The loss is estimated here at
about $4,000. The insurance is
unknown.

FEW ACCIDENTS on TRAINS.

Injuries to Passengers md Trninmen
Have Decreased to the Minimum.
The last few months have been a record
breaking season for the Union Pacific Rail-
road company in the small number of acci-
dents to employees and passengers. For an
extended period accidents and injuries have
been decreased to the minimum. The lines
of the Union Pacific in Nebraska have been
especially favored and most of the accidents
that have recently happened-and the ma
jority of them were of trivial nature-be-
fell passengers and employees beyond Chey-
enne. This favorable condition of affairs is
especially remarkable when the large volume
OF travel is taken into consideration.
Usually, when travel is as heavy as 1t has
been during the last few months, officials at
headquarters here have been flooded with
kilograms announcing mishaps-some trivial
and some serious-and they have been kept
busy gathering data and effecting settlements
with injured passengers. The fact that such
a condition as the present has prevailed
speaks we'll for the service rendered the
travelling public by the Union Pacific.
Another interesting thing in this connec-
ton Is the small number of accidents which
have befallen employees. Very few men ems
ployed as brakemen and conductors have
been injured. This is unusual for the reason
that 30 many new men have been employed
to fill the demand made for trainmen to op-
crate the large number of extra trains. These
new men, many of whom had never been on
the running board Of freight car, have been
especially fortunate in escaping accidents in
cident to the hazardous calling of train

w H. jackson, the famous railroad
photographer, who has probably done more
than any other one man to secure publicity
for the beautiful scenery In the west, is in
Omaha TO visit for short time. He Is en-
route from his present home In Detroit to
Denver and other western points.
There is reason to believe that the
Chicago Burlington & Quincy route has
purchased the Chicago, Fort Madison &
miles long, operating between Fort Madison
and Ottumwa. The Fort Madison line will
1t is presumed, be merged into the Burling-
ton system in Iowa and cease to be oper.
ated independently. Belief in the sale of
the Fort Madison line to the Burlington
arises from private information received
from Boston. where the sale Is said to have
been made several days ago.

TRANSFER OF THE MAIL
Temporary Contract IL Awarded to
y. A. Finney of
This city.

The contract for transferring the mail be-
tween the depots at Tenth and Mason streets
has been awarded to f. A. Finney Of this
city, who will look after it until other ar
rangements can be made.
In handling the transfer mall the conten-
ton upon the part of government officials is
that it comes under the contract with Still
niger & johnson, the Kentucky men who
have the contract for carrying the
mail between the depots and the post
Office and from the postoffice to the motor
cars This contract. they say is elastic and
while no extra compensation is provided for,
1t requires the contractors to handle all the
additional service ordered during the life OF
the contract, which has nearly three years
yet to run For doing this work tho con-
tractors, under their bid, receive $4,000 per
yea:. They have to use from four to six
teams and employ eight to ten men. 1t is
said that they took the contract with the
intention OF sub-lettiug it, but owing t1 the
low figure at which it was awarded were
unable to find any one who would take it off
their hands.

GOSSIP OF GREAT NORTHERN
Belief that J, ]. Hill Intends to Extend His
Line to Omaha.
SUCH MOVE WOULD CREATE NO SURPRISE
by Completing Rumored Extension
Great Northern would open Ex-
treme Northwest Territory
10 Omaha,

The belief that the Great Northern railroad
will be the next one to follow the Illinois
Central into Omaha is gaining ground among
local railroad officials and definite announce
ment OF such intention on the part OF }. J'
Hill would create no great surprise.
The inducements for the extension OF the
Great Northern system into Omaha could be
no more favorable than they are at this time
in the opinion Of railroad men who keep In
touch with business conditions.
MY opinion of this probable extension
into Omaha" said local railroad man, Is
that the time is not far distant when HIS
system will have it's rails running into this
city, affording connection with the vast
northwestern territory in which the Great
Northern is the peer Of all competitors. The
Great Northern now has practical control OF
the Sioux City G. Northern, which makes the
connecting link between its terminal at Gar
retson and Sioux City. In order to reach
Omaha to the best advantage 1t would be
necessary to build new line from Sioux
City. 1t is generally understood that a route
has been surveyed from Sioux City to Omaha
along the west side of the river and 1T Is
natural to believe that the Great Northern
is back of the movement, for the reason that
II will have control OF the splendid bridge
across the river at Sioux City now used by
the Sioux City G. Western. With this bridge
and a line extending from Sioux City to
Omaha on the Nebraska side entry into
Omaha could be obtained in a most logical
and satisfactory manner.
What reason would the Great Northern
have for extending its line to this city? Well,
it would thereby gain the bulk of the in
creasing business between the middle west
and the northern and northwestern territory.
The large ore traffic from British Columbia
would be directed over it and its line to
Seattle would give 1t the major portion OF
business destined to the Klondike. That
Omaha would derive great benefit from the
Great Northern were it local line there can
be no doubt 1t is only necessary to direct
ones attention to what Hill and his asso-
ciates have done for st. Paul, Minneapolis
and other cities along their line in order to
appreciate what they would do for Omaha
