Several Contracts Awarded for
Work on Orient Road.
Building of Line From Pacific
Coast to Be Commenced.
STILWELL RETURNS.
Will Await Action of the
Guardian Trust Company.
This Company Will Likely Look
After Financing of the Road.

Kansas City, June 27.-President A E.
Stilwell, of the Kansas City, Mexico &
Orient, has returned from New York
and will remain here until after the
meeting of the directory of the Guar
dian Trust company to be held next Fri
day. when the matter of the connection
of the trust company with the new rail-
road to be built by Mr.. Stilweu will be
decided upon.
President StilwelI has awarded sew
eral contracts for work on the new line,
and construction from Port StilweI. the
Pacific coast terminus of the road, east
ward will be begun within few days.
as will also work at different points on
the route between Kansas City and the
Mexican border.
Mr.. Stilwen confirmed the report al
ready published that a contract cover
ing a period of Is years and providing
for close traffic interchange between the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient had been
| signed, under which through train ser
vice will be maintained from Chicago to
| Port Stilwell, where connections will be
made with steamship lines to the Orient
| and South America.
While Mr.. StilwelI refused to confirm
l it, a report, which it is believed is en-
| titled to credence, is current that an
/ OlHCA lIlpOIlduL IOI
the new road to the Orient is about to
| be signed. AS the contract with the
Milwaukee covers the territory north of
Kansas City pretty thoroughly it is ev-
/ identity with line reaching some other
| territory and, while those informed on
| the subject speak of it very guardedly
| it may not be amiss to speculate that
| this new contract is to give the Orient
| road entrance to St. Louis. The Texas
| & Pacific was suggested in this connec-
ton, but it is not certain that is the
| line in question. 1t is possible the con
tract is to be with a California line.

through Topeka yesterday over the

CAN'T PREACH RELIGION WITH
BULLETS.

In an excellent sermon at Edenton
Street Methodist Church Sunday
morning. Rev T. II. Whistner. ID. D..
of Louisville, Ky, took the ground
that the religion Of Christ was one OF
love and that it could not be propa-
gated with bullets. He pointed to the
Crusade movement as an example OF
the folly Of trying to carry the gospel
with force. 1T is not by might nor
by power, but by my spirit that men
are converted.
At this time. when some good men
in the pulpit, enamOred of a desire to
carry the gosnel to the end of the
carth more rapidly, have fallen III with
the idea OF cclonialism and imperial-
ism. il is gratifying to hear the lead
ers of Il great church bring the pew

Of the gospel.

W. r. Hearst, President OF the Ma.

stration of the confidence they feel in
the form of government under which
the nation has grown to its present
greatness. The danger which threat
ems the country is real and imminent.
1t seems appropriate, therefore, that
citizens who believe that the Declara-

Death OF Patrick Vance.

Patrick Vance, the old pioneer o.
the Upper Skokomish Valley, died las
Thursday evening, after long illness
He had been afflicted with a compli
cation of diseases for the past year
but managed to keep up until last week
when he failed rapidly and quietly
gave mp the battle, leaving an aged
and afflicted wife. The funeral took
place Friday afternoon, the remains
being inferred in the Catholic cemetary
in the presence of many old friends.
Pat. Vance was born in Ireland 6e
years ago, and came to America when
% years of age. He landed in Frisco
in 1877. and came to- Puget Sound in
the following year, soon finding EN-
ployment on the Webb. farm, at the
mouth of Skokomish river. In the
summer of 1873 he took up the home
stead in the upper valley, and there he
and his he1pmeet haye lived and work
ed all these years to make home for
themselves. For many years, when
the present roads were but trails, and
the hardy pioueer must needs pack in
all his supplies on his horses back,
Pat. and his wife lived in isolation, but
were content. Of late years other
settlers have come around them and a
fair road down the Skokomish hill
makes the vicinity easy of access, and
the farm of considerable value
Last year Mrs. Vance was unfortun-
ate in breaking her leg by fall, and
she has since been almost helpless,
with no prospect of having much use
of the injured member. She is quite
aged herself, being 90 years old, and
the aged couple were grateful for the
occasional help of their neighbors.
Mrs. Vance is now staying at the home
of George vogtlin, and she desires to
thank all her friends and neigbors for
their kindly aid and sympathy in her
trials
