MONTREAL CONFIRMATION
500 Extension from Bismarck to Puget
sy Sound Considered.

500 Extension from Bismarck to Puget
Sound Considered.
Special to Tho Journal. -. ..s +
Montreal, April 3O.-It is stated on good
authority that the Canadian Pacific
which now has its western terminus at
Vancouver. intends to build into Spokane
and Seattle and compete with the Hill
roads for oriental business thru the sound
cities. 1t is also stated that an extern
sion of the 500 westward from Bismarck
to Seattle and Tacoma is a possible out
come of the friction with the Northern Pa
cific. Canadian Pacific and 500 interests
assert that the Northern Pacific is the
aggressor in this matter and that should
the aggression be pursued to certain
point the extension to the coast will be
undertaken.
. Some influential directors OF the Cana
dian Pacific are in favor of putting the
stock on a 6 per cent dividend basis this
fall. The matter will probably hinge on
the new mileage which the company may
be forced to build in order to protect Its
territory from the aggressions of the
Grand Trunk. the Canadian Northern and
the Northern Pacific. Any large addi-
tfonal mileage would probably involve the
issue of new securities in addition to the
requirements for financing the purchase
OF the companys transatlantic liners and
might raise a question whether a higher
dividend would be advisable should it be
found necessary to provide for additional
mileage. An increase in rate is very like
ly to be made. assuming that present
expectations in regard to business are
realized, even tho additional capital will
be raised to pay for steamships purchased
some time ago. Whether this capital will,
be raised by sale of debentures or com
mon stock has not been announced. Plans
OF other Canadian roads for new con-
structfon are being closely watched. Land
sales OF the Canadian Pacific have
amounted to approximately $1,000, 900 In
nine months.

Fort Monroe, Va, April 30.-Booker T
Washington preached a, sermon against
social equality in his speech at the cele-

in all his long career as a negro educator
that .he ever made a set speech on. this
line.
"The negro is seeking no social equal
ity, ," he declared. '..The negro is as proud
of his own race as. the white man is Of
his race. L believe it is the duty Of the
white people to try to get an insight into
the domestic, business, moral and 5religi-
Gus life of the negroes and this they can
do without introducing the bugbear OF
social equality 5 .f yszs. e As:f4-,

Two died from suffocation, but the other
fifteen worked their way out. The res

however; found an exit where there was
