NORTH RIVER BOOM.
War Department orders Its Removal
or Alteration.

Special Dispatch to the Post Inteligencer.
SOUTH BEND. Feb. IN. ID. Egbert,
United States commissioner has received
"A letter from the secretary OF war stating
that the present boom on North river
mus be altered so as not TO ohstruct navi-
cation, or a new boom built In It's stead.
This is the result OF complaint nled win
the commissioner by TWO prominent
settlers on lower North river against the
BOOM which extends from bank TO bank
These changes must be made before Janu-
airy l. 1901. or proceedings VIII be brought
against the settlers who comprise the
boom association.
Capt Taylor OF the corps OF United
States engineers, states, In his report 10
the secretary on the result OF his inNesti-
cations. that there had been no previous
complaints against the boom; that "A boom
was necessary on the river and that the
complainants had themselves used Il. but
he recommended that passageway
should be left for boats al all seasons OF
the year.
For a distance Of about fifteen miles up
the river from It's mouth the settlers use
the stream for transporting supplies from
South Bend In boats, and 10 them the boom
is an obstacle, though q boat railway was
built around the boom for their aceommo-
dalton. The settlers on upper North river
use the stream purely for logging purposes
TO float their logs 10 South Bend and buy
their supplies on Cifays harbor. To them
the boom IL invaluable. They offered n
subsidy for a boom. but, no company ac-
coping the offer, they built the present
one as a cooperative affair and paid for
u from tolls I'm two years. Its cost was
500 and the charges this year for boom
axe and rafting were but 81 cents per

MELLEN AND HARTMAN,
Reported Agreement for Union Pa
cifc to Reach Puget sound Over
Northern Pacific Tracks.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligeacer.
TACOMA. Feb. AFTER a spirited ses-
sion lasting several hours today, the Ship
pers' Association and Chamber of Com
merce committee decided not to oppose
the vacation of a portion of Dock street
and Ninth street. on the state tide lands,
as requested by the Northern Pacific rail-
way. but to leave the matter with the city
council, with a recommendation that no
exclusive franchise for the tracks OF that
company be given on the west half or
the street.
h. S Grosscup. counsel for the railroad,
stated that whenever any other railroad
desired to build on Railroad avenue, the
Northern Pacinc would raise its track at
the Fifteenth street bridge, so as to allow
the new road to run under the Northern
Pacific track. provided the new road paid
the expense of the required changes. IL
was right new road would have in any
event. under the laws of the state. and
the Northern Pacific could not prevent an
other road from crossing even II 1t so de-
sired
In fact. he believed that within less than
twelve months the Northern Pacifis would
apply for franchise on that avenue and
would then have to raise its crosstrack at
Its own expense, unless some other road
appeared sooner.
Mr.. Grosscup said the understood that
an agreement had been reached between
the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific.
whereby the latter would run to Puget
sound over the Northern Pacifics track.
He also said il was reported that Presi-
dent Mellen, of the Northern Pacific and
officials of the Union Pacific, including.
possibly, Mr.. Hartman, would reach Ia
coma next week, when the subject of ter
minals for the Union Pacific would be
taken up. II is expected that the ques-
Seattle Will be brought up at the same
time.

Joe Martin Literally AppIauded.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Intelligencer.
VICTORIA, b. C, Feb 1.-The attention
Of the house was engaged today in the dis
cussion OF Hon. DR.. Mckechnie's bill 10
amend the coal mines regulation act. by
applying the educational ties, TO all those
employed underground The innovation
was bitterly opposed by Mr. McPhhHps one
OF the members for the city Of Victoria.
who spoke for two hours in opposition to
the section proposed TO be introduced.
At his conclusion he offered a long
amendment. in which il was stated that the
section was ultra wires. because the privy
council had already vetoed similar pro-
vision. The opposition are evidently intent
upon making big fight on this section. az,
today, they caused the introduction into the
house OF number of petitions from the
miners. in the Dunsnuir mines at Union.
praying that the amendment be not
adopted.
With the view OF Mr. McPhillips Joe
Martin did not agree. He held that the
province should exhaust all means In
its power to secure the passage Of
legislation shutting out Oriental labor. even
a. the risk of disallowance by the privy
council. Martin particularly attacked the
clause which said that the miner must
prove his educational qualifications 10 the
satisfaction Of the inspector. This he char
acterized as vicious legislation, as the in
spector was but the creature and instru-
ment OF the government and 1t gave him
absolute power TO exclude any one when
he liked.
Under such rule, he pointed out that
the government might allow only the mem
beers Of a particular union TO work in the
mines, as there was practically no appeal
from the decision of the inspector. Martin
added that he was prepared to go as far as
any one in shutting out Orientals, but he
would not carry II TO the length of shutting
out white labor. He described the legisla-
ton as local and ill-advised. His speech
was vigorously applauded by both sides Of
the house The opposition was anxious
that an adjournment be taken, in order that
McPhillips' motion might be printed, but
this was not consented TO by the govern

ACTOR KOLKER RESIGNS.
A Matinee Idol to Leave the stock
Company.

The announcement was made yesterday
that Mr.. ]. II. Kolker, leading man of the
Grand Stock Company. had rendered his
resignation at the rehearsal Friday morn
ing, to take effect two weeks from last
night. The management, both of the stock
company and of the opera house, were
taken completely by surprise. Mr.. Kolker
and Mr.. Cannon, business manager, give
as the chief reason for the formers action
that he is threatened with a breakdown of
health and has been ordered by his physi-
clan to take rest Of several weeks. 1t is
limited that other causes exist for the
actors unexpected resignation. Mr.. Brooke,
stage director, said last night that he
reprimanded Mr.. kolker at Friday morn
ing's rehearsal for talking in such a way
to interfere with the conduct of the
work. but that this furnished no ground
for the resignation. Director Brooke also
said that Kolker's successor has not yet
been determined upon, but that he would
be easy to find, "since the woods are full
of leading men for stock company work."
