Councilmen Declare That Mills
Require City 10 Pay Too
Much for Lumber.
QUALITY IS INFERIOR, TOO
Suggestion offered That Bids
BE Called for by the City
for Such Lumber as
May Be Needed.

At last nights meeting of the coun-
Gil the fact was brought out that the
city was being soaked" by the local
millmen. Mr.. Belland called attention
to the matter. He said the mills were
charging the city $40. s11 and sle a
thousand feet for the same grade of
lumber that was sold to contractors
for $3.50. Mr.. Morton said that con-
tracts were awarded for furnishing
other supplies, and he knew of no rea-
son why lumber contracts should not
be awarded IF the city is being held
up, we ought to get our lumber else
where" declared Mr.. Morton.
THE price We pay for our lumber
wouldn't prompt me TO object if the
lumber was good" said Mr., Nordstrom.
T have graded millions of feet of lum-
Der, and / know positively that the
class of material we get from the
mills is not what we pay for"
Members of the council declared that
they would hereafter refuse to pay for
inferior lumber, and it is probable
there win be some contention in the
future Because of the poor quail
ity of the lumber used in the construc-
tion of a new sidewalk on Commercial
street. one block of the improvement
was not accepted last night. Mr.. Nor
ton declared that, where the contract
called for second-class lumber. that
used in the sidewalk was not even
fourth class material.
No Drains for East End.
The resolutions which were intro
duced month ago for the construction
of system of drains in the East End
were killed last night. Mr.. Belland de-
clared that the proposed drains would
more nearly resemble sprinklers and
that the author of the idea had some
decidedly incorrect views of the mat
ter. Mr.. Leinenweber was opposed to
running drains across two or three
blocks of sliding property. The drains
were to have been built on Thirty
fourth street and Irving avenue. No
other provision for draining that part
of the city was made last night.
Would Improv Eighth Street.
Mr.. Hansen called attention to the
deplorable condition of Eighth street.
He said 100 or more school children
were compelled to use that thorough
fare every day, and that it was almost
impossible for them to make their
way through the mud. Street Super
intendent Kearney declared that he
had repaired the street so often 1t had
become a habit with him, while A. B.
Dalgity an indignant resident, appeal
ed for relief. Plans for the work have
been prepared, and the street will be
improved just as soon as the neces-
sary ordinance can be passed.
Taylor Avenue Improvement.
Mr.. Hansen wanted the Taylor ave-
nue. improvement matter settled. A
petition was received from property
owners living on the street asking an
Improvement of the width of 36 feet
instead of 26 feet Mr.. Belland figufed
it that the petitioners would pay $40
toward an improvement that will cost

FORA DEBATE ON THE STRIKE.
Non-Union Foreman of Santa Fe
Challenges Union Man.

William o. Forsythe, a foreman in
the Santa Fe shops at San Bernar-
dino, wants to hold a debate with G.
w. Smith, secretary of the coast divi-
sion of machinists, who are out on a
strike against the Santa Fe. Mr.. For
sythe has issued the following chal-
lenge to Mr.. Smith which has been
printed in the San Bernardino papers:
81, William o. Forsythe, San Ber-
nardino, California, do hereby chal-
lenge Mr.. c. w. Smith, secretary of
Machinists Lodge, No. Al, editor and
publisher of their Bulletin, to a de-
article under the caption of "A Word
to the Scabs,' which appeared in said
Bulletin. No. 81, of August 18th, 1904,
is neither religiously nor politically
true Time and place to be mutual
ly agreed upon hereafter"
Regarding the challenge of For
sythe, non-union foreman of the
Santa Fe shops a reply is made in the
lists. The reply is made in rather Sc
we're language and is as follows:
We are very sorry to inform the
scab gang foreman of the local shops
that our worthy brother, c. w. Smith,
will be out of town for a day or two
and it will be necessary for him to
await an answer from Mr.. Smith
whom he challenges to debate. We
think that we can safely inform this
Scabby Dutch gang foreman that Mr.
Smith would hate to be caught dead
in his presence, much less to disgrace
the public by debating with such YER
min as he. We would rather advise
him to just keep his % cents and
keep on scabbing; it looks big to him,
for before he landed in the United
States he couldn't get over 70 or IS
cents a day and the crazy Dutchman
wants to live over here just as he did
in Faderland. We might suggest that
if he wasn't so scabby he would take
better in church circles. You got the
name scab by committing one of the
most fierdish crimes possible, and we
don't think our Brother Smith will
society with him, for it is disgraceful
enough as it is. Challenge that man
that is paving YOU % cents an ho1rn

STRIKE BREAKERS TRIAL.
The Verdict Will Be Announced LateR
by Judge DonohO.

Kansas City. Kas, Aug. 30.-The
case of James Kalogonis against the
Schwarzschild & SulZberger packing
company to recover $35 in wages and
the value of his baggage, was on trial
all day yesterday in the north city
court. After hearing all the testimony
Judge NJ. H. Donoho took the case un-
der advisement.
This is one of the nine suits grow
ing out of the riot of August 10, when
a mob of packing house strikers at
tackled a Belt line train at Riverside
and threw the baggage of the strike
breakers into the Kaw river. The next
day the men Joined the strikers and
soon after filed suit against the COM
pany for the loss of their property.
One suit will probably decide all of
the cases.
Kaloganis asserts that he was hired
in San Francisco and was to come
here and receive IS a day from the
time he left San Francisco. He also
alleges that the packing house COM
pany had charge of his baggage and
was therefore responsible for its loss
The contract with Money & Redie,
employment agents in San Francisco,
was produced by the packing COM
pany. This contract indicates that
Kaloganis and his companions agreed
to work for from rs to so cents an
hour from the time they reached
Kansas City, if they were found COM
petent to do the work

SANTA FE's TRUCK PLANS.
VIII Make Propositions to East Texas
Farmers


Farmers.
Beaumont, Tex, Aug. 3O.-Colonel
G. L. Hill, horticultural agent for the
Santa Fe lines in Texas, is planning
some extensive and important moves
for the industrial stimulation and de-
velopment of the Santa Fe territory
in East Texas. ColoneI Hill has been
recently talking strawberries and po-
tatoes to the farmers along the Cen
ter line of the Santa Fee. In speak
ing of his plans, Colonel Hill said:
The farmers and people of this
territory do not seem 10 realize the
golden opportunity they are throwing
away by not getting into the truck
and fruit business in the proper man
ner. The Santa Fe can furnish and
will guarantee to furnish a market
Tor twenty carloads of strawberries
per day during the strawberry season.
it will take 1000 acres and we
want all this acreage in one terri
tory, so that buyers will not have so
much trouble in getting to the farm
ers- We intend to have 1000 acres
planted this fall along the line of
the Center branch of the Santa Fee
and we propose to take at least TWEEN
ty carloads per day out of this during
at least twenty days of the season of
1905. We have not decided upon the
location of this farm, but that it will
De planted is assured and determined.
1 am going up to the Center ter
farm and also to arrange for a series
of meetings during the month of Sep
TENDER at the various towns along
the line. / wish to nave a heart-to-
heart talk with the people and to
let them know by demonstration that
there is more money in one acre of po-
tatoeS or Strawberries than there is in
two acres of cotton
Colonel Hill is enthusiastic over his
schemes for the industrial and agri-
cultural development of East Texas
He says that if the farmers will go
INTO the strawberry business extensive
ly, the Santa Fe will find a market
and will guarantee to the farmers a
minimum price of 81 per case loaded
on the car. He says that the expert
ments last year of sending East Texas
fruits and vegeta bles to Chicago were
remarkably successful and has en-
couraged the road to go ahead.
Colonel Hill says also that he has
a proposition of some DeS MoineS can
1tal1sts who will purchase some 5000
acres near Silsbee, divide it into TWEEN
ty-acre Dlats and setuIe it with ex-
perienced truck growers and fruit
ra1sers from the Mississippi valley
The promoters are no other than
commission men, who will settle the
farmers and allow them ten years on
easy payments to pay for the land
ana improvements and will also agree
10 take the entire product at good
prices.

| HANGED TO LAMP POST.
A Negro Is Lynched by Mob at Lar
annie, Wyoming.

Laramie, Wyo., Aug. 30.-Joe Mar
tin, colored. was lynched by a mob of
800 men in front of Judge Carpenter s
house last night. Martin was a trusty
in the county Jail He attacked a
white girl, Della Krause, in the Jail
kitchen and slashed her face and arms
with a knife. One man was injured
by Martin when entering the Jail to
drag out the prisoner.
After assaulting Miss Krause with a
razor Martin was placed in a cell in
the county Jail. A mob of several
hundred men formed outside the jail.
The first intimation that Sheriff Cook
had of the mob was when men ap-
peared in the kitchen of the Jail, and
with gins leveled at him told him
that there were 200 men waiting out
side for the negro and that he had
not better attempt to make any trouble
for them In the meantime another
masked man had entered, and while
the first two held the sheriff the third
man took the keys of the Jail from the
Sheriff'S pocket, and then the three
started for the negro's cell. On the
way they met DR.. Miller, who had
been summoned to dress the wounds
on Martin self-infiicted with the same
razor he assaulted the girl and Turn
key Jones. They were both COM
PEELED to stand against the cage of
the cells with their faces turned away
from the mob. The negro was then
taken from his cell and hurriedly
marched through the court house into
the street Arriving at the lamp post
short distance from the Jail, the
negro was quickly strung up to the
post. During the entire proceeding
he did not speak nor attempt to resist
the mob. The lynching occurred at
about 8 o'clock, and within Ian hour
the streets were deserted. Acting
Coroner Grant tok charge of the body
of the negro and turned it over to an
undertaken.
Miss Krause would undoubtedly
have been killed<by Martin had not
the wife of Sheriff Cook held him in
her arms until his rage had cooled and
he could be taken from the kitchen.
On the way out he slashed Frank
Fraser, a bystander, with a butcher
knife which he had grabbed from the
kitchen table The wound is not Sc
rious. Miss Krause, who comes from
Chillicothe, Mo-, is not seriously hurt.

WITHDRAwS RATE.
Union Pacific Serves Notice That Low
Rate Will Be Withdrawn.

The Union Pacific served notice late
yesterday afternoon that at the close of
business September s, the low rate on
wire and nails to the west would be
withdrawn. The Rock Island will also
withdraw the rate, and it is supposed
other lines will do the same.
The Union Pacific rate applies only
at Denver and not to any intermediate
points. At present the rate is as fol-
lows: From Chicago, IS cents; Mis-
sissippi river, 40 cents; Missouri river
20 cents. Before the Union Pacific
started the trouble, which looked
threatening until yesterday, the rate
was: From Chicago, 81 cents; Missis-
sippi river, ~ cents; Missouri river,
so cents.
When this rate went into effect,
Gould saw it was a move on the part
of the trust, controlled by Hartman,
who also rules the Union Pacific, to
goods in Colorado. Gould, who rules
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company,
in Pueblo, saw that low rates to the
west would seriously injure his bust
ness, so he decided to retaliate by in
vading, for the first time, eastern ter
ritory with his goods. Therefore, he
met the reductions to the west by cut
ting the rate over the Missouri Pacific
from Pueblo to Missouri river points.
No intimation has been given out by
the Missouri Pacific of restoration
in its rates.
The western trunk lines committee
meets To-Day IN chicago anu al COiO-
RADIO lines will be represented. 1t is
thought the wire and nail rate situa-
ton will be brought up at this meet
ing.
It is also probable that the commit
tee will discuss the sugar rate de-
moralization and help bring order out
of chaos.
The rate was cut from New Orleans
to Missouri river points from 81 to 80
cents, and to interior Kansas points it
was cut to Al cents. Then the Bur-

ROCK ISLAND EXTENSION.
VIII Build Coal Line from Colorado
Springs to Canon City.

Colorado Springs. Colo, Aug. 30.-It
IS now announced that work will soon
be begun on the extension of the line
of the Rock Island railway from this
city south to Canon City. This i'm
provement in the Colorado division of
the Rock Island system has just been
authorized This great railway system
will extend its Colorado lines into the
Arkansas valley for the purpose of
utilizing the coal beds found in Ere
mont county. The road it is known
has for some time been seeking coal
lands from which it might supply its
system in this state and has lately Sc
cured some valuable acreage south of
Canon City.
The new line will be built from Colo
RADIO Springs to Canon City and the OBJ
ject is to furnish coal for it's own use
more than anything else. The road, it
is understood, considers it has good
chance to handle the coal CONNER
cially, too, as it is said the Fremont
fields are more than sufficient to supply
the road.
Mr. Loree, chairman of the board of
directors of the road, will arrive in this
state in the near future for the purpose
of completing arrangements for the ex-
tension of the system as far south as
Canon City.

Goodnow May Resign.

persistently reported in railroad circles
in this city that Mr.. c. A. Goodnow,
general manager of the Chicago &
Alton, is to resign his position in the
near future. Official action has not
been taken as far as known, but the
rumors in local railway circles have it
that a change may take place the first

he has been offered a fine berth with
another large road and has decided
