TO BUILD IN ORIENT.
Syndicate Formed for Hallway Work
in China.

New York, Oct. 19.-Prominent and
wealthy bankers and railroad men are
back of new company formed for rail-
road development in the Chinese en-
pire. The company, which has already
been incorporated, under the laws of
New Jersey, is called the China Invest
ment and Construction Company of
America, and has capital of $1,000
900. According to one of the interests
identified with the company, its pres
ent capital is merely nominal.
The managers of the syndicate IN
clude Edwin Hawley, president of the
Iowa Central railroad, and of the Min
neapolis and st. Louis railroad; Charles
T. Barney and Frederick Eldridge,
president and vice president, respect
lively, of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany, New York; Thomas Cakes, for
mer president Of the Northern Pacific !;
Frank f. Searles and John W. elise,
the latter president OF the Washington
Trust Company, of Seattle, Wash.
The company has secured the serv-
ices OF A. W. Bash, who will soon sail
for China to secure concessions from the
Chinese government and to make other
arrangements. 1t comes from good
source that Chinese officials favor the
granting OF concessions to the new syn
dictate.
1t is said that just as soon as Bash
secures concessions development of a
asst railroad system in the Orient will
, begin.

SCORED BY COURT.
Judgment Given at Tacoma Against
Washington Match Co.

Tacoma, Oct. l9-Judge Smell, of
the superior curt, has gioven r. W.
Dick, of Seattle; Florence Woods, and
j. j. Mulhol]and judgment against the
Washington Match Company for the
amount OF money they severally paid
the company for stock. The court in
its decision declares that the Washing
ton Match Company was originated
purely and simply for the pun pose OF
selling stock that the corporation was
begotten in fraud, and that "the whole
transaction is reeking with fraud and
corruption"
The Washington Match Company has
one of the biggest manufacturing plants
in the city. More or less scandal has
been attached to the workings OF the
institution for several years The court
in it's review of the cases that have been
before it, says that from the evidence
given 900 persons have bought stock
in the enterprise and paid therefor
about $95, 900 in money.
The company issued prospectus in
which il claimed that it owned what
1t called Holes invention and patent
for a wonderful machine that was capa-
BILE of making five times as many
matches at one-fifth the cost of labor
of any other machine in existence. The
prospectus also said the machine was
set up and making matches.
The court finds that Luis 7. Holes,
the pretended invento, OF the match
making machine, never had AMY such
invention as the machine advertised,
cor, in fact, any machine, and no pat
ent was ever issued for any match ma
chine" The court says just what has
become of the $35, 200 paid into the
company for stock does not appear, and
intimates that it is a question for the
prosecuting attorneys of Pierce and
King counties to investigate.

RETURN OF THE CRAWLING.
Fishing Again Good Where Lumber
ing Had Ruined 1t.

Both grayllng and trout fishing are
excellent again In the Michigan woods
in the Pigeon River district said a
Michigan man In the Philadelphia
Ledger ''since the railroads went into
the lumber woods and did away with
logging in the streams. 1t was to the
choking and jamming of the streams
and the blowing and tearing up of their
beds by the interminable log drives
that the apparent humiliation of trout
and grayling In their favorite haunts
for years was due. The lumbermen
found that they could get their logs
to the mills quicker. safer and cheaper
by building railroads into the woods,
and. consequently, most Of the streams
have been abandoned to the possession
of their native fish again
THE marvellous recuperative power
of trout and their kind when not inter
fered with by unnatural causes is dem
onstrated in convincing manner by
the extraordinary recovery of these
Michigan streams from apparent ster-
ility to fertility in trout and grayling
A catch of grayling in Pigeon River
made by Colonel Park. of Columbus
Ohio. numbered thirty-three, and
weighed, after 300 miles Of transpor

usual average for that fish.
Colonel Park also killed a nineteen
inch grayling. the largest ever taker
from Pigeon River. 1t rose to the fly
before the fly had reached the water
and struck 1t in midair. The big gray
ling was landed after n severe and ex
citing struggle. The weight Of the

service, in which he did good work
during several Indian campaigns. At
ter leaving the army he moved from
Boston, where he was born fifty-siX
years ago, to Albany, with the civic
