The Blind Boone Concert Company

The Blind Boone Concert Company
will appear at the Presbyteria church
on Wednesday evening, May 18th.
Blind Boone is one of the most skilled
musicians of today. No piece too
difficult to play from memory. His
playing is wonderful and marvellous.
No one who has not heard him can
comprehend the musical skill he eX-
hibits. He comes under the auspices
of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Pres
byterian church. Don't fail to hear
him!

D. p. Soar was selected as an alter
nate delegate at the State Convention,
in Des Moines, from the Ninth Con-
gressional District to attend the Dem
ocratic National Convention to be held
in Kansas City, July 4th. No Demo-
crat in the country has been more true
and loyal than ID. E. Soar, nor could
anyone been selected from the county
that could have been greater honor
to the party. Under all circumstances
he has been a faithful worker true and
consistent to the cardinal principles of
his party and always steadfast in the
support of his party. He will well
and truly represent the party in the
National Convention.
The following program has been ar
ranged, by Superintendent F. p. Hook

evening, May 18th. Much time has
been expended to make this one of the
most pleasing entertainments of the
season. The proceeds from the enter
tainment will go to the support of the
public school library:

LOWER RATE SEEMS ASSURED
MILLNEN CONFIDENTLY EXPECT A
4O-CENT TARIFF ON LUMBER.
Likely to Come TO Terms by
January New Territory for
the Products OF Puget sound.


The 4o-cent lumber rate which the mill
men are seeking to secure from the Puget
sound district TO points west OF the Mis-
souri, river Is likely to be granted before
the first of the year. according to pr-
waite advices received in this city yes
terday. The Northern Pacific and the
Union Pacific are said 10 be resisting the
proposition, but the pressure being brought
TO bear Is such that they are expected to
eventually come 10 terms and grant the
same rate fixed by the Great Northern.
None OF the railroad officials now in
Seattle have received any information on
the subject. and nothing will be known
definitely until an official order on the
subject is promulgated In the meantime
the Importance Of the matter to Seattle
and every mill man In the Puget sound
district fs so great that the agitation
Will be continued until the request is
finally granted.
Portland is fighting hard in opposition
to the rate, and Union Pacific officials at
that point strenuously deny that any
such tariff sheet would be issued. The
following item on the subject is from
the Portland Evening Telegram, and will
be interesting reading here;
There Is a report in Railroad Row that
the Union Pacific will issue a new rate
sheet in few days, quoting a 40-cent
lumber rate from Puget sound, as against
a 45-cent rate from Portland. The Union
1dclHc oinclals nrant III as falSenoou
for the evident purpose of getting bust
ness at their expense. Thev claim fur
thermore. that the Union Pacific in en-
tering Sound territory by the Spokane
gateway reserved the right TO quote g.
cent lower rate from Portland than from
the Sound.
=" so such tariff sheet will be issued
said one OF the Interested ones this morn
ing. The report was started for the sole
purpose OF getting business away from the
Union Pacific. Naturally the rivals of our
road are jealous because we have cut
into the Sound territory. and are adopting
every possible means for getting business
away from us
ALREADY. by reason OF the Union Pa
cific having opened up n new territory
to the Sound country. shipments from
there are increasing at rapid rate. This.
of course serves to increase the rivalry
between the different roads, which Is bit
ter enough to cause rate-cutting, unless
restrained by firm policy like that now
governing the various interests. The least
relaxation from iron-clad rules will mean
trouble. The tricks now employed by some
OF the agents in obtaining business are
somewhat questionable, to say the least"

little, IL any, in excess of that for the

little change on that score. II is said,

Lehieh Valleys Freight system.

English railway and marine experts
who not long since made an examination
of terminal facilities established at va
rious points by American roads, have
made a report that not only makes spe-
cial mention, but gives high Endorsement
to the system of the -Lehigh Valley at
Buffalo. These gentlemen represented the
Philadelphia Transatlantic Line, trading
chiefly between Philadelphia and London
They have been dissatisfied with the
methods generally employed at ocean
ports, and evidently they have decided
upon the Lehigh Valley system mentioned
as model, as they asked that one OF
the best men identified with it be per
mitted to go to London at a good sal
airy and all expenses paid, to install the
same arrangement at that place. This
request has been granted, and Edward
Desheano, who has grown up in the serv-
ice, beginning as a messenger boy, has
been selected to make the trip.
