The sanitarium Building.

Messrs. Reynard .s Oak have been
Improving the fine weather by pushing
work on Battle Mountain Sanitarium
and have made much better showing
than one would suppose for this time
OF the year.
Owing to the recent cold snap the
masons have been laid off for few
days, but they are here ready to take
up the work again soon as the weather
moderates. The contractors have built
belt line of railroad track at their
own expense which entirely enciroles
the grounds, IA distance of 1900 feet.
This curve is shortest possible for prac.
tical railroading for all sizes of engines.
This enables one of the large Mort h.
western engines to handle two cars at
time, and is the same curve of some of
the track used in the ascent of the hill.
Ihe burlington company laid this belt
line for the contractors, but the ex-
pense was borne by Reynard & Oak.
The Chicago & Northwestern have
completed the track to the Evans quar-
ry, and everything is in readiness to
drive the work when warm weather
comes.

BLACK HILLS LIQUOR

FAILED TO PAY MONEY.
Penalties Alleged to Be Due by Street
Railway Companies.

It was expected by the District authori-
ties that the officials of the Metropolitan
and Columbia railway companies would call
at the District building today and pay TO
the District assessor the sum of $39, 1853. G1,
with accured penalties amounting to about
$4,000 additional which the District claims
is due from the company for personal taxes
for the year 1908.
There has been considerable discussion
among the District officials and the off,
cials Of the street railroads mentioned rel
ative to the payment of this tax and early
last week the District served notice on the
companies that unless the amount were to
be paid within ten days legal proceedings
would be instituted against the companies
to collect the amount.
Mr.. Allen McDermott of Jersey City,
president of the railroad companies. and
Mr.. James B. Lackey, secretary and treas
urer of the roads, did call at the District
building today, but they did not make
payment of the amount claimed to be due
held before the Commissioners and at its
discussed pro and con, Mr.. McDermott
made a proposition to the District officials
and said that he will later submit the
proposition in writing
The proposition of Mr.. McDermott, in
brief, is that the company will pay the
amount claimed to be due as an assess
ment against the gross earnings of the
companies, but not as personal tax
against them.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May IA cablegram from
London says: 1t is reported in financial cir
cles in London and Paris that the money
magnates who are arranging the japanese
and Russian war loans base their calcula-
tions upon the prolongation of the struggle
for two years. They are understood to es-
innate that within this period Russia would
expend approximately $1,000, O,000 and
Japan $6t0,0Go,o00 Estimates are founded
upon comparisons with Russia's outlay in
the war with Turkey.
1t is this frightful money cost of contest,
even more than bloodshed and disease in
evitable in land operations, that is relied
upon TO curtail the war that at best can
give Japan no more than her original de-
mands as to Korea, and at worst would
drive her from the continent.
Japan is comparatively a poor country
She has no war chest except as Marquis
Ito says, the chest of every subject of Nut
suhito.
Russia Is enormously in debt and poorer
than she would have the world believe.
Hence, despite repudiation by Russia of
any intention to tolerate Intervention in
ultimate adjustment, quiet conviction pre-
wallis that the British, French and American
governments will find a way at last to as
sist the combatants to solve the diplomatic
problem following war.
