STATE NEWS.

The Great Northern tunnel under
the city of Everett has been complet-
ed, and it is expected to have trains
running through it in about thirty
days. The trains will run into the
center of the city, and the long run
around the peninsula, between the
Sound and the Snohomish river, will
be saved. The change will shorten
the Great Northern main line four or
five miles. The new tunnel is be-
tween 1000 and $500 feet in length
and passes diagonally under eight

The body of T. 1. Stanley, formerly
OF Seattle, was found lying alongside
of the railroad track near Wenatchee,
last week. The remains were badly
decomposed, death having occurred
two weeks ago. The body plainly indi-
Gated that the man had been murdered.
Stanley left Semitic August 18th, to
take a position as cook on q steamer
at Wenatchee. He arrived in that
town next day and became known to
several people. Then he disappeared
and no trace of him was found until
Saturday, when the body was discov-
cred short distance from town. The
face had been crushed in, and the
front teeth driven back into the

A strong committee OF Washington
mill men left for st. Paul and Chi
cago this week to interview the rail-
road managers in the endeavor to get
a more favorable rate on shipments of
Washington lumber into the Mis-
souri, river district, as it is generally
termed. While the railroad men
fully appreciate the situation, yet
they have not given any inducement
that any concession from the present
schedule could he made, but the mill
men relying on the justice aud great
need of their demand, indulge great
hope of securing a more favorable rate.
Fully 1000 cars of lumber, it is said,
are consumed in the territory into
which the Washington lumber is
shipped, and the granting of the rate
as asked will be of the greatest value

Prof. Piper, of the State Agrieul-
tural College, who has been in charge
of the State experimental work in
propaga eating Eastern oysters at Toke
Point, on Willapa bay, reports that he
has met with most satisfactory re-
suits with the floating tank propaga-
ton, securing a considerable supply
of the young fry. The tanks are
made of rough lumber, with slat bot
toms, which are covered with burlap,
and then several inches of sand and
gravel spread on the burlap, on which
the parent oysters are spawned and
the eggs fertilized, either in the
natural way or artificially. The young
oysters are kept in the tank until
they attach themselves to the old
shells and rock placed for them on
the bottom of the tank. Several
other methods of propagation have
been tried, with more or less success,
but the floating tank appears to be
the most successful. The plan has
also proved success at the Keyport
station, opposite Seattle, where Prof.
Doane, of the State Agricultural Col
lege, has been in charge.

NEGRO LAD INvENTs A NEW GUN

Eugene Burkin, celored boy of 19
years, who lives In Chicago, is the
inventor Of rapid FIRE machine gun
which he claims Is the most effective
weapon Of its kind in the world, and is
destined to throw the inventions of
Maxim and Nordenfelt. now in gen.
ersl use in armaments Of the world
into the scrap heap. Several experts
who have seen the model of Burkin,s
gun pronounce ib marvel of ingenuity
and a terrible weapon. The boy is
said to have refused an offer OF $50 600
for his new invention.
The boy has never had any mechsn.
ical training, yet all the work on his
model has been his own. The first
idea of the weapon came to him during
the spanish-Ameriean war, when the
magnificent work of tAe American
gunners directed his thoughts to guns
and their improvements. He con-
strueted his first model of weod. his
only tool being jackknife.
The lack Of funds then threatened to
put stop to the young inyenter,s
work, but he finally obtained enoueb
money to 60 into the iron works on The
West Side, which gave him the use of
