This combination will give com.

ION Pacific is the keystone. Its closest
connection at present is the Chicago &
northwestern, and for a long time it
mas been the prevailing opinion in

attach both the Northwestern and the
Union Pacific, and were not aware un.
III few weeks ago of what was going
on The Northwestern directors have
hurriedIy considered the advisability
OF extending their Fremont branch to
ogden to connection with the Central
Pacific, which is controlled by the
Southern Pacific. Cut off from the
Union Pacific, the Northwestern will
find no road to turn to for Pacific
coast business that does not parallel
1T for considerable distance.
Thus, with the Northwestern ex.
tending its Fremont, Elk Horn & Mis-.
souri, River railway from Casper to
Ogden, in order to fight the Union Pa
cifc, and the Northern Pacific forced to
protect itself against the Oregon lines,
which have recently been acquired by
the Union Pacific, there is likely to be

continental roads in the near future.

ALONG THE COAST.
i'ehhs OF General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
States.

The Washington state fair commits.
slon at North Yakima, has completed
the premium list, and the book is in
the hands of the printer. 1t has been
revised and enlarged to cover, as far as
possible, all the industries of this great
state, and induce exhibits of products
from the Pacific Northwest. The list
has been increased by adding many ar
tlcles OF home production, and the
prizes more than doubled, to insure
greater displays of native resources.
The commission recognizes the neces-
slty OF honest competition in farming
and dairying. fruit and vegetable
growing, ranch and range productions
and all lines of progress in the field
and factory. While the state fair has
not yet reached perfection, the earnest
cooperation of all interested will make
OF the fourth annual exhibition, the
best of its kind ever held in the state.
Many excellent exhibits are promised
from the leading sections of the state,
and Oregon and British CoIum bia,
Will be well represented The race
course is in fine condition and several
horses are now training for the speed
contests, for which large purses will be
offered. The commission offers $1O,-
600 in premiums for the various exhib-
Its and races. Special rates have been
obtained from the railroads, and excur-
sions will be run from the cities of Sc
attic, Spokane, Tacoma and intermedi-
ate points. The merchants and manu-
facturers have contributed literally in
special premiums and with the pros
pect OF enormous crops there is no
reason why the fair should not be a
complete success.

ALGER RESIGNS

Washington, July 2l.-AlgeI has
been crowded out at last. The sys-
tematic manner of ignoring him as "a
cabinet officer and secretary of war re.
suited i'll his finally handing to the
president his resignation. The uni
versal demand of the mem bers of the
cabinet that Alger get out has had its
influence, and the cold shoulder he has
received IN the cabinet, together with
thing odt of his hands in the war de-
partment, made the position untenable.
1t is believed that Vice-President
Hobart, acting as mutual friend of
Mckinley and Alger. helped to bring
about the resignation.
Alger intends to make the president
somewhat responsible for his retire.
ment by making his resignation to take
effect upon the pie, sue OF the presi-

Speculation is fife as to who will be
secretary of war, and a great many
names are mentioned. The belief is
general that no matter who comes in

relinquish it.
By August /, Secretary Alger will be
at liberty to lay down his task. He is
much wearied by the weight of respon-
sibility he has borne for nearly to years
and a half; he has aged many years in
the opinion of his personal friends,
and is in need of rest. He proposes to
depart for the Northwest and spend
some time in the lumber camps belong.

children. These will occupy his time
until we'll along into next fall. About
political matters, the seer etary does not
speak now, but it may be fairly sur.
missed that he then will be ready, in
view of his already announced decision,
to take such part in the Michigan sena-
torial contest as conditions at the time
will warrant.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Laborer In a North port smelter Roasted
Alive.

Northport, Wash. July 22.-Martin
Smith, laborer employed at the North.
port Mining & Smelling Company's
plant, met with horrible death last
night about midnight. Smith was EN-.
ployed in wheeling ore from the out
side roast heaps to the furnaces. The
ore was red hot at the time, and there
was danger OF it caving. Both the
general foreman and the yard foreman
had warned the man of the danger, and
advised him to work elsewhere.
Smith replied to these admonitions
that as soon as he removed portion OF
the heap that interferred with the
tracks he would. A few moments af-
te, wards fellow workmen heard agoniz'
ING shrieks from where Smith was last
seen, and upon arriving on the scene
the unfortunate man was found pinned
down by a mass of burning ore that
reached to his hips. The men worked
like demons to extricate him, but in
vain, the poor fellow absolutely roast
ing alive before their eyes. Ten MIN
utes OF hard work resulted in the re-
coyely of the charred remains.

But Hardships Were Real, and Most of

Seattle, July 21.-Out of a party OF
five which left New York five years

mine on the western coast of A Alaska,
but one has returned. He is H. G.

works. Three of the party Walter
Dodds, of Paterson, N. j.; James La

the fourth member, Henry Martin, of

According to Hoffman's remarkable

the Kuaboo and Ikpik Pung rivers,
known as the Black Hole, where the
richest diamond mine in the world
was said to exist. They had two years
provisions. At Kaakak, Labelle died
from a disease resembling smallpox.
Dodds and French were stricken with
the same disease. Rather suffer as La
belle did. French shot himself through
the heart, and Dodds. with an ample
supply of provisions, was left to care
for himself, with the understanding
that he was to overtake Martin and
Hoffman should he recover. Nothing
was heard from him again.
Martin and Hoffman pushed on to
Kevolikog, Russian Indian village
near the Black Hole country. The
village was made up of Russian refu-
gees from the prisons of Siberia. They
robbed Martin and Hoffman of every
thing of value and kept them prison.

tin and taken to another village, where
he was compelled to do menial work.
AT the end OF a month he escaped and
reached the small town of Sisinan. on
the Koyukuk river, where he was ill
for several months. He never received
any further tidings of Martin.
