SETTLEMENT IS DEFINITE.
Pacific Coast Company and Schooner
Men Bury Hatehet.

The settlement of the fight between
the Pacific Coast Company and the
steam schooner owners is definitely
announced by W. E. Pearce, general
manager of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company. with headquarters at
San Francisco. He is now on the
sound in conference with General man
ager James C. Ford, OF the Pacific
Coast Company.
The terms of settlement are those ar
ranged at the time Mr. Ford was in
San Francisco. At the time he depart
ed from the south for the north a few
minor details remained to be settled
before the steam schooner owners would
agree to withdraw from their warfare
against the steamship company. These
matters were arranged by Mr.. Pearce
and his report of a complete under
standing has been made to Mr., Ford
on the present trip.
BY the terms Of the arrangements
the Pacific Coast Company will not en-
gage in the lumber traffic in competi-
ton with the steam schooner owners
or the California lumber combine. The
Pacific Coast Company has always
done fair lumber traffic over its rail
lines in California. and maintains a
number of yards along this system.
These yards have been in operation for
years and there is nothing in their op-
Grafton that conflicts with the AMIGA
BILE distribution Of the lumber business.
The Pacific Coast Company's plans
for establishing a number of yards in
the southern part of California have
been abandoned. The single shipment
of lumber made from the Weyehhaus-
er's mill at Everett constituted the
only cargo of lumber that the company
sent to California in competition with
the steam schooner owners and the
lumber combine. Immediately follow
ing the receipt of this cargo, which in
dicated the Pacific Coast Company was
prepared to make an energetic fight,
the movement toward a settlement was
made.

cording to the story going the rounds
she is to be repaired. saying he knew
nothing of the report. He said. how

Despite Captain Dunbar's reticence.
1t was learned yesterday that the Chi
