FOR NEW RAILROAD
TACOMA TIDE LAND PURCHASES
EXPLAINED.
u. X. Manning. Buying and Secur-
ing Options for }. Il. Woodward,
New York Banker. Admits That
Il New TranscOntinental Line to
Sound Is Planned.

Tacoma, Sept. al. K. Manning,
who for several months past has been
securing options on and purchasing
tide fiat property for John Woodward,
New York banker, announces that
another transcontinetal railroad is
heading towards Puget sound. Mr..
Manning has filed with the state land
commissioner plans and specifications
for the improvement of the harbor
front property directly in front of the
tide flat acreage pure hased by him for
Woodward. When asked the direct
question if the improvements contem-
plated were for terminals for rail
road, Mr.. Manning replied they We're.
Asked if it were a transcontinental
railroad, Mr.. Manning replied he did
not care to make definite statement,
but it was nonsense to suppose that a
branch road or short line feeder for
Tacoma would secure such elaborate
terminal grounds. All told Mr.. Man
ming h as purchases 81 acres for Wood
ward. This strip lies ON the east side
of Puyallup river, where it crosses the
tide flats. Mr.. Manning has lately
been securing options on tide fiat prop
erty adjacent to that already purchas-
ed, and, in fact, has refused no op-
tions that can be obtained on property
i'll that vicinity. The plans for the
improvement provide for the dredging
of two large deepwater slips, which
will be approximately 200 feet wide
at the bottom. There will be four
ocean docks with railroads running
alongside. The improvements also
provide for the erection of four large
ocean warehouses, similar to the ORR
entail warehouses erected by the North
ern Pacific. The railroads will find
egress from the docks up Hongkong
and Yokohama streets and Sitkum
avenue. These parallel the Puayllup
river, and how far the railroads will
follow up the river is not known. At
any rate it will be necessary for the
new road to cross the Mort hern Pacific
at some point on the reservation unless
1t turns abruptly in the direction of
Seattle, following the course of the
Interurban. Mr.. Manning has secured
a 81 years lease LOT MS principal on
the 600-foot tract of harbor front on
which the Improvements will be
made. The specifications show that
the improvements will be of the most
permanent character. Railroad men
here are not slow in connecting the
announcement of the Tacoma Eastern
railroad of it's intention to- build
through the Mineral creek, Pleasant
valley, Cowlitz valley and Big Bottom
countries in the direction of Cowlitz
pass with the announcement of Mr..
Manning's intention to begin the i'm
provements mentioned on the tide flats.
John Woodward, the principal in the
tide fiat transactions is the president
of the Hanover National bank, of New
York, of which William Rockefeller
is director.

cent of this. The bulk of it Is kept In
the bank for him. while what is neces-
sary for his daily expenses is expended
by his tutors.
There are eighteen of these tutors,

HOW TO BE HAPPY.
Put Your Heart in Your Work and You
Will Get Joy from 1t.

Put Your Heart In Your Work and You
Will Get Joy from 1t.
If you try to overtake happiness it
is likely to give you the dust and keep
you in the chase. The better way is
to let it overtake you. This it will do
if you provide the conditions.
Be just be true. be kind The charm
of existence comes from relating our
selves beautifully and faithfully and
devotedly to our work, to our friends
to our surroundings, to our days and
moments.
Let there be a warm commingling
of interests between yourself and those
who are nearest. How often there Is
so little in common between a father
and his children, or between members
of the same family; each one living
his life under the same roof. and yet
knowing little of the Other--brothers
and sisters. and yet comparative stran-
gers Much Is lost in this way-at
least much would be gained If there
were Il merging of condolences.
Then reflect that life. like every
other blessing, derives its value from
its use alone. A life in which nothing
happens is not artistic, and cannot
be made so. One of the wisest and
best known men of this generation
says that If man has abilities and
will not use them he is a scoundrel,
and ought to be punished.
Put heart into your work, and you
will get JOY out of it. Let the money
consideration be secondary. The first
thing Is to be true-to labor with a
composed. invincible energy, till it be-
comes labor Of love and gladness.
Live SO that tomorrow and all the
coming to-morrows will be frightened
by the memory Of to-day. You may
take it for granted that If by kindness
and sympathy and the clean, con-
scientious fultilment of your task you
dlffuse sunshine into other hearts, YOU
will not he able to keep it out Of your
owu.-Toronto Star.

nounces its intention of building rail

The management of the railroad an
nounces that the line is merely for the
purpose. of tapping excellent timber
districts, with no intention of crossing
the Cascades.
People, however, who believe the
activity in tide fiat property in Taco

ance of another transcontinental rail
road, see in this move of the Tacoma

an incoming road an excellent foothold
in the Sound region. The Cowlitz pass
is looked upon by able engineers as one
of the most feasible routes 10y which
roads from the East side can enter the
Sound territory, while the country
traversed on both sides of the noun
tains by road adopting that route is
rich and fruitful.

MORE ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.

The auditors agent seems to be car
rying on in the name of the common
wealth the skin game perpetrated here
recently in collecting back taxes that
had already been paid, all over the
state with varying success. Very
little stir resulted here, although
there seemed to be grounds for big
upheaval. In Greensboro he was met
by crowd of indignant property
owners and an injunction. and held no
safe. The Inquirer said Of the affair :
I'm the meantime several hundred
irate and indignant property owners
had gathered at the courthouse wait
ing for the revenue agent to get to
business. Many of them produced old
receipts showing they had paid their
taxes on the property advertised. All
those producing receipts had their
property marked off. In many in
stances it was discovered that the
sheriff was at fault and had failed to
make the proper credit, as many Of
the receipts produced were signed by
former sheriffs. In spite OF the in
Junction, however, many owners paid
the back taxes on their property and
were given receipts signed by the
revenue agent. Several of those who
paid purchased their property believ-
ing it to be free from all membranes,
but Others admitted not having paid
the tax. One old man In the crowd
produced papers showing that he had
paid taxes on his property which had
been advertised for sale since 1861"
1t is pity there was not some one
here sufficiently interested to prevent
the sale, at which nearly 81 200 was
collected, much of which represented
taxes already paid. OF course the
auditors agent himself is not to
blame, as he only does his duty and
is furnished with list from the an.
ditor's Office at Frankfort. When the
state undertakes such extortion, how
ever, it is good time for an investi-
CATION of some sort.

have a far reaching effect among rail.
road employees. II holds that tele-
graph operator for railroad com
pany and fireman on the road, are
"fellow servants" and that death re-
sulting from mistake of the former
was risk run by the latter, and was
not ground for damages against the
railroad company. This principal as

the throwing out of court of many
