Northern Pacific Lands.

The belief founded upon the report
OF The investigating committee of the
lower house of the last legislature that
about nine million acres of land in
this state claimed by the Northern Pa
clfic Railway Co. would be declared
forfeited and thrown open to settle
ment, does not seem to be we'll found
ed, as the following opinion OF the
United States attorney general shows
"The right o. the old company to
the lands granted, which was perfect
ed by the completion of it's lines, passed
to the purchaser under foreclosure Of
all Its property and rights. These
lands were already fully earned. They
were subject to no conditions subse-
quent. My opinion is that you are
not justified in refusing to issue pat
-ents to the Northern Pacific Railway
Co., for the reasons stated in the com.
munlcations submitted to me, but
that you should act upon applications
for patents by the new company upon
exactly the same considerations which
would govern you In case there had
been no foreclosure and the applica
tons were made by the old company

BIakely Mill Output.

From official reports now being com
piled by Victor III. Beckman, editor OF
the Pacific Trade Journal, from all the
mills in the state, it is learned that
the total output of the Blakely mill
for 1898 was 81 ,29O,764 feet of lumber
and 15,713,OO laths.
The quantity of lumber usually esti-
mated for one and one-half story CO :
tage is 10000 feet. On this basis The
Blakley mill turned out last year
enough lumber to build 8,129 such
houses.
Even this large cut was not quite
up to that for 1897, the latter being
81, III ,517 feet of lumber. The guam
tlty of laths cut was about the same
for each of the two years. The falling
off in lumber this year was due main
ly to decline in the California trade,
due to failure of crops in that state.

Ore Comes to Tacoma.

The Pacific Coast Steam ship Com
pany has contracted for the delivery to
the Tacoma smelter OF 400 tons oil
Treadwell ore every month. The first
consignment, 200 tons, will arrive
Thursday on the steamer Cottage
City.
The Cottage City will carry all the
ore and make delivery every fifteen
days. The company has two other
steamers running to Southeastern
Alaska, but it is, for some reason, con
sidered better to let the ship carry all
the ore.
This shipment of Treadwell's pro-
ducts to the Tacoma smelter-is the re-
suit, it is said, of the Treadwell people
having become interested in the Taco
ma smelter. The smelter is already
one of the leading smelters at the tide
water of the Pacific, and is being
greatly enlarged.
The Treadwell mine is the largest
quartz mine in the world, and is con-
stantly increasing its capacity. The
ore is sight in the mine is simply a
mountain, and inexhaustible.-Led-

Gunderson's Fish Trap Bill Killed.

OLYMPIA, Jan. A.-Gunderson's bill
for the adjustment of fish traps will be
reported for indefinite postponement
in the house tomorrow by the fish
committee, Calvert, Whatcom, chair
man. There is hardly a doubt that
the report of the committee will be
adopted, and the bill, counterpart OF
which was passed by the Populist
house two years ago, will be killed with
little ceremony.
The fish committee discussed the
question of fish traps for an hour to-
night. Gunderson, who is a member
OF the committee making practically
only fight to save the bill. He will
sign minority report, favoring the
passage of the measure.
Beals' bill prohibiting trap fishing be-
tween the north fork of the Skagit and
Deception pass, will also be reported
for indefinite postponement. A small
minority of the committee will proba-
bly, favor the passage of the measure.
Gunderson's bill, making the office
OF fish commissioner elective, will be
reported for indefinite postponment.
Practically the only measure which
will be reported favorably by the COM
mittee tomorrow is house bill 80 by
Calvert, prohibiting the pumping of
refuse from saw mills in salt waters
wnere salmon fishing is prosecuted

LEGISLATION on Fisheries.

The fish committee of the house will
meet Tuesday night to consider a
number of measures that have been
introduced affecting the fishing and
canning industries. Chairman Call
vert of the committee, said today that
the committee would probably report
adversely upon Gunderson's bill abol-
ishing the fish traps and let the house
settle the matter III open session.
"The report of the fish commissioners
said Judge Calvert, estates that some
thing over $4,000 has been collected
annually from fines, licenses, etc. 1t
is the belief of some members that the
requirements of the hatcheries are
much greater than this sum and it is
believed that the Law will be 81
amended as to yield the state upwards
of $50, 900 per year. I know OF no
plan now to increase the licenses for
traps, nets, etc., but it is understood
that proposition to levy tax or fee
against the output of the canneries
and fish traps will be brought up before
the committee for Endorsement. / am
in favor of increasing the revenue de-
rived by state from the fish law and
using the money to increase hatcheries
and propagate salmon, thus fostering
one of our greatest industries. "-P-I.

Women should Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony and misery
because the nature of their disease is not cor
rectly understood. They have been led to be-
lieve womb trouble or female weakness of some
sort is responsible for the many ills that teset
womankind,
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or
dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a drag
ging pain or dull ache in the back, weak ness
or bearing down sensation. profuse or scanty
supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire
to pass it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or COM
mon glass for twenty -four hours, are signs of
kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attributed by
the patient herself or by her physician to fe-
male weakness or womb trouble. Hence so
many fail to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble
In fact, women as well as men are made mis-
cradle with kidney and bladder trouble and
both need the same remedy.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great discov
cry of the eminent kidney and bladder spec ial-
list, and easy to get at any drug store for fifty

Notes from the Legislature.
OLYMPIA. Jan. 25th, 1899.

OLYMPIA, Jan. ZOtn, 1000.
There have been very few changes
in the Senatorial question this week.
Caucus talk has been common, and af-
ter several Intellectual efforts, the call
finally received the requisite signers
and the caucus will be held Thursday
night. 1t will only be a few days be-
fore the senator is elected, and it looks
! as though Wilson would be reelected.
Something over $50 bills have been
introduced in both houses, of which
some have passed both and not few
one house. The greater portion SO far
have been killed in committee, some
ninety having been disposed of i'll that
way.
There will be little anti-Gshtrap leg
| islatiOn this session, as the committees
are largely made up of men who are
directly interested in traps besides be-
ing REINFORCED by powerful lobby in
their behalf, while the seine and gill
net men have few ID present their
claims. 1t is believed that vigorous
attempt will lie made to curtail the
ishtraps to considerable extent and
more equable license law will be
passed, based on the amount of fish
caught.
The county superintendent have
been in session for two days for the
purpose of discussing changes in school
law. About % being present.
One of the most interesting as well
as meritorius measures up for discus
sion is the dairy bill, but from appear
ances the COW has hard road to travel
but believe she will kick the oleo-
margarine can out yet.
A bill carrying with it an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for Ellensburg and
Cheney, each, and $4,000 for What
com Normals, has passed the Senate
and in all probability will pass the
House, but will no doubt be met with
a veto by the governor.
A new bill calling for an appropria-
ton of 100000 from the Capitol Land
funds Will be introduced this week for
the purpose of pushing the capitol
project and it is believed that the
present legislature is inclined to be
favorable to the building of the state
house on~the already built foundation,
if the necessary funds can be raised
from the granted lands. r.
