Commissioners Take First Step
Toward Improvements.
TWO VIEWERS ARE APPOINTED.

The county commissioners Saturday
took the first step looking TO the estab-
hshment Of grand trunk road, or turn
PIKE, from the southern limits of the city
through the Duwamish and White river
valleys TO the Pierce county line The
initial step was the appointment OF view

ment OF the viewers WIS left TO Comm!s-
soners ellison and Smith, whose districts
are affected by the road. MIR. Gibson
named City Engineer Thomson as
his choice, and Mr.. Smith named Mayor
A. II. Meade, OF Auburn
The building OF a turnpike through the
river valleys to Seattle has long been the
cream OF the farmers who live In the
fertile region that would be affected by
It,

years Of labor. but II we can get a report
from the viewers in time we shall conn

plated 70 build a turnpike from the south
limits OF Seattle TO the Pierce county line
we also purpose to have branch roads
as perfectly constructed as the main
road, that win touch every Important
point In the valley not reached by the
main hne.
The Importance of such road cannot
be oVerestimated. II Will be OF !ncalctl-
liable benefit to the farmers in the valleys
and give them an easily reached market
Tor their products. 1t will bring Seattle
into closer touch with the surrounding
country, and prove beneficial In a thou

The commissioners also intend this sum
mer to build a road from Kirkland to
Cherry Valley. which. with the. establish
ment OF the Lake Washington ferry. will
make 1t easy for the farmers and resi-
dents Of the northern district to reach
the city.

PLAGUE IS SPREADING.
Official Report of the Situation
: Made TO Surgeon General.
FROM the Time "a Was First Diseov-
cred mp TO january ~ There
Had Been 81 Cases, II
Proving Fatal.

Il Washington, Feb. 13.-Under date
|oi January 25 Surgeon ID. A. Carmi-
behael, of the marine hospital service,
stationed at Honolulu, has sent To
surg. Gen. Wyman a report showing
the plague situation existing there.
Al the time the report was written
the condition was still very bad, as
NEW cases were being discovered from
Time To time and in parts of the city
away from Chinatown. One white
lady, Mrs. Boardman, living in what
was considered a healthy part of the
nv, was attacked on January and
NJ from the plague on the 18th OF
w same month. She was employed
~ dry goods store and il is stated
that a dead rat was found and re-
moved from the store near her de
partment some days before she was
taken i'll. IL is also rumored that in
lection was conveyed from a pet dog
which was i'll and died shortly before
its mistress.
Another white woman living in a
previously healthy part of the city
was attacked on January Is and was
removed to the pest house.
\ summary shows that from Janu.
airy - TO the 23d inclusive there were
Fl cases and II deaths. From Decem.
Der II, when the plague was first dis
covered. there had been recorded 81
cases and al deaths.
The doctor briefly describes the
burning of Chinatown by which over
$500 people were made homeless and
almost all of their belongings destroy
ed in a few hours time. Contribu-
tions of food and clothing from the
citizens at once began 10 be made and
before nightfall nearly all had been
fed and were housed under tents, avn
ings. etc.
DR.. Carmichael says there is an ele-
ment Of danger i'm the removal of this
large number of people from the in
fected parts of the city. Many OF
them carried their clothing and per.
sonal belongings away from China
town but the disaster was so sudden
and the necessity OF guarding thes,
people so urgent that the best was
done under the circumstances in such
pressing emergency. The greater
number OF the homeless, principally
Chinese, japanese and Hawaiians
were removed 20 Kawaiahao churcl
and church yard on King street. som'
to the camps at Kalihi and KalIuk'
and others TO various empty ware
houses in other parts of the city.
IN conclusion the doctor reports
more hopeful feeling now that IN
greater part of Chinatown has bee
destroyed. and when the people re
moved from that infected district ar
properly established in suitable camp
the prospects for improvement in tn
situation. he thinks, are good.
Since the date of the above report
unofficial telegraph advices from Hon
olulu show there has been considera
BILE abatement in the plague and thar
the situation Is much improved.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
try May Have His Letters de-
IiNcred to Him.

Washington, Feb. 13.-If bill
which has recently been introduced
in congress by Representative Ache
son, of Pennsylvania, becomes a law
almost every farmer in the United
States will have his letters delivered
to him without the trouble of going
TO the post Office. IHr. Acheson's bill
provides that every mail carrier on
the star routes in the country shall
drop in letter boxes which the depart
ment will locate at various points
along his route all mail intended for
the persons designated on that box
and that he shall also collect all mail
which he may find in the box and de-
posit il at the nearest post Office on
his route. The star route rider is not
to receive any extra compensation for
this additional labor, but the postmas-
ter general i'm making future star route
contracts shall specify that this work
of delivering and collecting letters is
to be performed by the contractors,
and il is assumed, of course, that the
prices for carrying the mails will be
much higher.
The plan is not impracticable. IL
has been successfully tried in South
Carolina, a state which in proper
tion to its inhabitants has a greater
area of rural free delivery than any
other state in the union. The expert
ment of appointing the star route
riders as carriers of the free rural de-
livery was tried and found to be EN-
inently successful. The difference in
the cost of carrying the routes did
not enter'into the experiment because
the star route men were paid by their
contractors for the routes they
served and by the department of rural
free delivery of the post Office depart
ment for the work they did delivering
individual letters. But the question
of extra cost is to be tested in Maine
shortly, the proposals for carrying
the star routes in that state including
the delivery and collection of mail as
contemplated by the Acheson bill.
The free rural delivery has become
so popular that the post Office de-
partment expects9a largely increased
appropriation for that service next
year. A bill has been introduced al
lowing S2,O0O,OO for that work alone.
