In Chicago $4,000 People
Do Not Speak English

general there may be German sections
of city, but never a strictly German
quarter. as there are jewish Italian
and Polish quarters. In Chicago the
North side may be German in a way,
but so ale the two r.fler sides of the
city.
CIannishness Retards Poles.
while the German may learn the
language with more ease and willing
ness than any other of the European
peoples, the Polander may be said to
take to it with less willingness than
any other. The Pole comes to this
country as a representative of an op-
pressed people. This oppression in
their native land has had the effect of
uniting them there in strong bonds,
and to the extent that the Polander
may have been restricted in his ma
tional freedom in the old country, he
anticipates the exercise of this free
dom here. Thus the Polish quarter of
Chicago came easily ana naturally to
1t. With st. Stanislaus' church the
center of its national characteristics,
this Polish quarter is more foreign in
speech and customs than is any othSr
part Of Chicago.
In the streets everywhere in that
populous district one seldom hears a
word of English spoken, and to ask a
question in English of an adult passer
by is to receive, in nine cases out of
ten, negative shake of the head and
the blank look that marks lack of un-
derstanding.
Italians Stops at Prices.
"Next to the Poles the Italians keep
to their quarters and their language
and customs with a tenacity exceeded
by no other nationality As a rule the
Italians knowledge of English is linn
tied to expressing the cash price of his
wares, whatever they may be. He has
little social nature to eXpend among
other nationalities. He is one of the
great factors in the unclassed labor
ranks of the city.
THE Swedes are clannish, but in the
main they are disposed to become
Americanized. Where you find a con-
tractor who IS a Swede you may ex-
pect to find the bulk of his laborers,
skilled and unskilled of his own ma
tionality. At the same time most of
them will have a sufficient knowledge
Of English for all business. purposes.
"As matter of fact in Chicago it
may be said that the lack of knowledge
of English on the part of the rs, 900
who are in that class has little perma-
nent effect on the economy of busi-
ness, since more than forty distinct
nationalities are represented"

DEATH OF JUDGE GREGORY.
Time Honored Citizen Passed Away
Early This Morning at an Ad-
vanced Age.

A life which began in far away Vlr
| ginia So years ago, ended early this
morning. in the death of Andrew
Jackson Gregory, an honored citizen
of Walla Walla for over 30 years. Mr.
Gregory. owing to increasing age, had
been very feeble for the past SIX
months. The cause of death was
Senile decay.
Mr.. Gregory was born at Spaunton,
Virginia, in 1878 and was in his S5th
year. He was named after President
Andrew Jackson, by the 'Old Hickory
himself, who was very great friend
of Mr.. Gregory's father. At the age
of q, Mr.. Gregory was appointed cap
tain of militia company and served
in the Mexican war with honor.
In 1S49 he joined the rush to the
California gold fields and resided in
that state for 10 years, serving one
term as representative from Marlrosa
county. While a resident Of San Fran
cisco he was married to Miss Mars sret
Combon, who was his life comp: lion
in all his struggles for a foothold in
the northwest during the early days.
She died in this city in 1899.
The great rush to the KoOtenay gold
field carried him along and for several
years he followed mining with varying
success. Along in the early 7Os he
moved to Walla Walla.
He served as representative from
Walla Walla county during territorial
days and was elected justice Of the
peace for Walla Walla several terms.
He was a man of the strictest integ-
rity and as such enjoyed the conf
dence and esteem Of wide circle OF
friends. He is survived by three chill
dren. Misses Annie and Myra and
William D., bookkeeper in the Baker
HGyer bank.
The funeral Will take place from
the family residence. 324 Grove street,

jim HILLS RAILROAD
ALASKA TO SIBERIA
And Around Most Of the World
Government to Be Asked for
Land Grant.

Washinton, D. C.-There is now
pending before the secretary of the
interior a petition Of the Translates
ka-Siberian Railway company for a
:ight-Of-way across Alaska. This COM
pany proposes, after crossing Alaska,
to its WeStermOSt extremity, to tun-
mel under Boring sea and connect
with the Tras-Siberian railroad or
The other side.
James Hamilton Lewis, former con-
gressman from Washington, is one of
the attorneys for the new company
and will soon sail for Paris to meet
with the stockholders on August 81.
The projectors of the new road are
said to be mostly French and Rus
sian capitalists, while associated with
them are number of American
bankers. John l.. Healey, of Alaska
the klondike millionaire, and Count
LOicp de LObel of Paris head the list
of incOrpOratOTs Of the new company
which has taken out its charter under
the laws of Maine, with Offices to be
established in Seattle, Chicago, New
York, London, Paris, St. Petersburg
and Irkutsk.
To Ask Land Grant.
Following the example of several
prospective Alaska railroads that
were heard from last winter, the
Siberia company con-
templates appealing to congress at
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-08-05

the coming season. for a land grant
through Alaska along its right-of
way. The company is anxious to pro
cure a right-of-way conditioned after
the Northern Pacific grant. But in
this particular the company is prOba-
bly, doomed to disappointment, for the
interior department is decidedly op
posed to the granting of public lands
to aid in construction of railroads
and will oppose any such measure
that may be introduced at the next
session, as it opposed similar meas
ures that were pending at the last
session, all of which failed.
There is promise of international
complications if this stunned project is
ever pressed TO a point where the
scheme is regarded as a bona fide
enterprise, and there are assurances
that the stockholders are acting in
good faith. It is fact, however, that
there has been talk of this scheme for
several years, and the only material
development since the proposition was
first discussed is the recent petition
for right-of-way through Alaska. In
Washington the scheme is still re-
gardcd in much the light of the Jules
Verne enterprises, and there is very
serious doubt whether any company
really intends to undertake the con-
struction of a tunnel beneath Bering
sea. This doubt must be swept away
before any special interest is taken in
the project by the government.
Russia Is Serious.
From reports in circulation, how
ever, it is to be inferred that the Rus
sian government is considering the
project in all seriousness. 1t is said
that the incOrpOratOrs Of the railroad
company will, before long, ask the
United States to use its offices to
make Boring strait neutral as be
tween nations, so that in event of war
no advantage will be given to the en-
emies of Russia or the United States.
Russian officers are said to demand
this as condition of the Russian gov
eminent giving support TO the road
or further executing the concessions
of land heretofore said to have been
granted. Russo, it is said, wants as
surance that Bering strait will be as
neutral as the Suez canal.
Proposed RoutS.
The right of way through Alaska
sought by the Trans-AtlanticSibe
an railway follows along the Pacific
coast Juneau. and thence northwest
erly and westerly to point on the
Alaskan coast nearest to Siberia The
exact route is not yet disclosed, as it
is not necessary that this showing
shall now be made. Roughly. describ
ing the route from west to east, the
petition sets forth that it is necessary
to cross the strait from Siberia, SO as
to touch DiCmede island, whence the
tunnel will proceed to kingagin on
Cape Prince of Wales. The road
that point runs toward Cape York,
thence easterly to Grantley harbor,
near Part Clarence. then to the mouth
Of Kaviabazak river Thence the
route will be easterly to Council City,
to Kuyuk on Norton bay, to Nulato
On the Yukon, thnece ito the read of
Shageluk river, thence to Cantwell
