The Actual Loss of Life Not Yet

Are Conflicting.
HOPES THAT RATS NAY Be PICKED UP.
nuecuIation A. to the Identity and
Fate of the Vessel with Which
the waIIa Walla Collided--A Num-
/ her OF Survivors Landed and
Cared For at Trinidad.

San Francisco, Jan. Sit Is not
vet known how many persons perished
in the wreck of the steamer Walia
Walla, which was run into and SUNK
by an unknown French bark of Cape
Mendocino. The most conservative
statement places the number OF dealt
at ten and includes 20 in the list OF
missing. Another estimate is that
no less than 70 persons are yet unac-
counted for. There are still on the
ocean, so far as known, two RATS. II
either of these has been picked up,
the number Of supposed victims Will
be materially decreased. Sixty-two OF
of the passengers and crew were
picked up and landed at Eureka by
the steam schooner Dispatch, % sur
vivors drifted ashore near Trinidad,
and II others were rescued by the
tug Ranger. Capt. Hall, who went
down with the vessel, but came to
che surface and was saved, thinks
that the missing may yet be heard
from.
what OF the French Barks
The fact that the bark which
caused the disaster did not stand BY
60 aid the Walla Walla, indicates to
ueafaring men that she must have
been seriously disabled. If, indeed,
abe remains afloat. Her identity Is
not known, or is it likely to be de-
termined for seine time, as there are
several French vessels answering her

SEATTLE REAL ESTATE
Chute of Minneapolis and Several
Others From the East Make
1nvestme nts.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Seattle, Wash, Nov. 19.-The presence
in Seattle Of investors from Chicago, Min
neapolts and Kansas City, who are looking
for income property, has given a wonder
full stimulus to the real estate market.
These men have the money to buy what
they want, and as they are familiar with
the conditions which buff up the cities
of Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City,
and Seattle is experiencing the same kind
Of a growth, they have a good idea Of
what they want.
J. N. Richie Of Chicago is one Of the
group Of investors looking for chance to
plant some money, and he was fortunate
enough to buy this week the Bronson Ho-
tie, adjoining the Rainier Grand. He paid
$40, 900 for the building. 1t is leased for
five years, at terms that will net the pur-
chaser per cent on his investment:
A. Fl. Chute of Minneapolis is another
man who is investiga ting Seattle prop
erty.- He made two purchases from John
Davis & Co. this week, and is open for
other investments. He paid $4,000 for the
double corner at the intersection of Eighth
avenue and Seneca street. Several dwell
ings and an old Jewish synagogue consti-
tute the improvements on the property.
He contemplates a general renovation and
improvement of the whole property. His
other buy was a 60x120 lot on the east side
Eagle streets, which he purchased for
81, 900.

EASTERN OREGON MINES
Minneapolis Citizens Interested In

Minneapolis Citizens Interested In This
Now Famous District.
J. A. Hilliker, president and general
manager Of the Western Union Mining &
Development company, an organization
whose stock is Largely taken by Minneap-
oils citizens, has returned from Spokane
to spend Thanksgiving Day at his home,
712 E Fourteenth street.
Mr.. Hilliker, with assistance from his
Minneapolis friends, has laid in eastern
Oregon the foundation of. a. business and
for profits never dreamed Of by the aver
age investor. -..
1.-THE company has been fortunate"
said Mr.. Hiliker, sin it's selection of prop
critics. The Monte Cristo and the Gold
Bug, our most recent and important &C
| quirements, are on the Great North Pole
| ledge in the Blue Mountains of Oregon
| these properties are being developed at
the present time.".
Few persons: realize what possibilities
this statement may Indicate. The Monte
Cr1sto is in the same hill with the North
Pole mine, valued at $4,000, 900, and now
producing monthly 100000 or more. On
| this same vein with the Monte Cristo is
also the Columbia mine. owned by four
Minneapolis citizens, which Is valued at
100000 and producues at least $3.50 900
a month. But these figures do not convey
full significance, for the Monte Cristo
and the Gold Bug have respectively 300
feet and Ats feet Of this great ledge,
which good Judges predict will outdo the
famous Comstock, that produced over
$500, 100000. p; - -'>
Mr.. Hiliker5 would not place a value on
the properties or make an estimate, but
did say: "After a little while our stock
holders will be receiving annual dividends
equal to their entire Investments, and in
case they should be ten times greater, It
will please us so much the more. There
IS no doubt of our stock being a first
class investment. know Of none bet
ter. The proposition must be looked into
to be appreciated: We have a printed
report or statement, that will furnish a
fairly good idea Of the enterprise and the
district in general. which will mail to
any one desiring it." -

WAS WISE.
His Recognition of Cannon Made
Him Stronger Than Ever
With. His Colleagues.
So Says Congressman Burke Of South
Dakota After Visiting Can
mons Headquarters.

Congressman Charles II. Burke of
Pierre, S. D.. was in Minneapolis last
night on his way home from a conference
Of republicans at the headquarters of
Congressman Cannon in Chicago. -
Mr.. Cannon" said the South Dakota
man, rs the ablest member Of the house
/ of representatives. He Is our most eff
fectiye .debater, with a style all his own,
and has the largest fund of information
at, his command He Is the logical can
didate of the party, for speaker. He has
more than won the fight. He has positive
assurances Of at least 100 votes in the
caucus and tenders Of strength are COM
ing to him right along. Should the east
unite on Dalzeu, L1ttlef1eld or Payne, it
cannot now stop him.
Mr.. Babcock did a wise thing by with
drawing. With Illinois, Indiana, Mime
sofa, Michigan, the Dakotas, Wyoming
and other. western territory for Mr.. Can
was really no field for the Wisconsin man.
No one realized this better than Mr.. Bah
cock himself, and his change of front was
good politics and leaves him stronger with
his colleagues than ever before.
mo deal has been made by these lead
ers of the party. Mr.. Cannon has made no
promises. The talk that the big commit
tee chairmanships have been disposed of
and that Mr.. Babcock is to head ways
and means, is absurd. He is satisfied
with what he has. The chairmanships
will be settled according to the traditions
and practices Of the house and not after
the manner Of the organization of a state
legislative assembly. Seniority and ex-
perience will govern.
"Mr. Cannon Is a strong protective tariff
man, but he is not radical, like Dalzeu
or Payne. He will owe his high office to
the west and will listen to it's demands
and treat 1T fairly. He recognizes the fact
that tariff schedules must be overhauled
occasionally and that some important
duties will devolve upon the next congress.
This Is a tremendous issue, but it will be
met squarely by the next speaker and the
mai ority back of him.
Congress Burke would not discuss
the capital removal question. which is
certain to overshadow other measures at
Pierre this winter. He conceded that the
movement against Pierre Is the strongest
it has yet encountered, but he is not at
all fearful of the result and says Pierre
will emerge from the fight in a stronger
position than it has ever had before. The
Hills country, he declares, is practically
solid for Pierre, and the North Western
railroad company will fight removal to the
last extremity.

TIMES DECISION DELAYED
Further Arguments Are To Be Submitted


on Saturday.
The ownership of. the Minneapolis Times
is still in dispute. when the matter came
up before Judge Cray this morning, the
court asked that further arguments on the
motion for a restraining order against the
Times company to- prevent them from
transferring certain stock upon their
books. be submitted Saturday morning.
In the meantime the temporary order
granted by Judge Brooks will still remain
IN full fol &c and effect.
This legal battle Is the outgrowth off, a
contract made by H. v. Jones, w. E.
Haskell and Charles M. Palmer, and which
involves the sale of 5000 shares of Times
stock to Mr.. Jones. Later a question
arose over details, and Haskell and Palmer
declined to deliver the stock TO pre-
vent sale to another purchaser, suit was
begun to compel the specific performance
of the contract, and Judge Brooks granted
a temporary restraining order to prevent
transfer Of stock on the company 8
books.
1t is said that the third party to the
transaction, whose. name has not yet ap-
peared, is Robert Thurston, present bust

owns a minority Of the stock. Thurston
