note of one eastern man of capital
who is quite the contrary. Eleven

Robbed q Safe.

The safe in the Northern Pacific sta

by robbers last Wednesday night for the
second time during the last six months.
Entrance was gained to the building
through window. Some kind OF acid
was used in opening the safe, but no
money was secured, as there was moth

had Just been put in the office. The
combination knob had first been

BIDS CALLED FOR.
Northern Pacific Sent Engineer over Route
With Contractors Last Week.

.. l.. Hanson, chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific railway at Spokane,
came to this city last Wednesday and
spent Thursday and Friday with con-
tractors going over the proposed improve
ments to be made between Yakima City
and Mabton. They left here Thursday
morning and went to Yakima City.
From there to Mabton, distance of 40
miles they made a close inspection of all
the work the company has under con-
sideration. The plan as given by the en-
gineer is to widen the road bed over the
course named. At present it is very
narrow being below the average. This
will be widened sufficiently to accommo-
date two tracks when the company de-
cides to make this improvement. At
present it is said that the company only
intends to widen the road bed because it
is too narrow to support a single track
properly. Those who are more familiar
with the plans of the company say these
improvements will ultimately mean a
double track from this city through to
Pasco.
This information may be supported by
the announcement made last week in
Chicago by the Northern Pacific and
Burlington officials that cutoff would
be made through the Rocky mountains,
beginning at Missoula, in Montana, and
striking the Clearwater country. This
would shorten the line, it is said, about
400 miles, and would come direct through
to Pasco. In formulating this plan it
seems to be the scheme of the northern
railways to shorten their lines so as to
have the shortest possible route from
the Mississippi river points.

MAY REFUND DUTIES.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10,-With the
evident intention of refunding duties
paid on imports from the island pos
sessions within the debated period when
their status was in doubt the Secretary
of the Treasury has instructed ColIec-
tor Stratton to furnish him with a rec
ord of such entries, whether a formal
protest was filed at the time or not.
This record is to cover merchandise
from Porto Rico entered at this port
between April II, 1899 the date of the
treaty with Spain and May 1, 1900, the
date the Foraker act went into effect;
also merchandise from the Philippines
entered at San Francisco between April
II, 1899, and the date of the Philippine
resolution of 1901. Few entries were
made from Porto Rico, and those from
the Philippines were, according to the
customs officials far below those since
that period. AS the entries from diff
ferent countries are not kept separate
i'm the CustOm-hOuse records, however,
considerable work would be entailed IN
preparing such a list as the Secretary
requires, and he has authorized the
temporary employment of an additional
clerk for that purpose. To fiji this posi-
ton Collector Stratton yesterday APP

cipal of the Oakland High School.
