MAY BUILD NEW ROAD.

TACOMA, Wash, June 25.-It be-
came known to-day that the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway pos
sesses one or more complete surveys
from South Dakota to Puget Sound.
At least one complete survey was
made several years ago, following the
visit to the sound Of Roswell Miller,
present chairman of the board of di-
rectors. Complete notes have been
secured of other surveys made by en-
gineers through both the Rocky and
Cascade mountains more than ten
years ago for the Union Pacific and
other systems. The survey made by
the Milwaukee road runs west from
Chamberlain, S. D.; passing south of
the Black Hills, thence across Wyom-
ing, south of the Bitter Root Noun
tains in Idaho and thence following
the Salmon River to its confluence
with the Snake River, near the State
line of Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
A community of interests between
the Milwaukee and Hartman systems
leads to the belief that the former will
reach Portland over the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation lines from East
ern Washington and that the Harri-
man system will reach Puget Sound
over the Milwaukee's new road from
the Columbia River to Tacoma and
Seattle. A number Of officials of the
Milwaukee and the Northwestern Life
Insurance Company of Milwaukee
have been working quietly in the
Northwest for weeks. These include
H. H. Field of Chicago, assistant gem
eral solicitor of the Milwaukee, and
j. T. Woodward, who is understood to
be a high officer of the Northwestern
Life Insurance Company.
The tide lands purchased at Seattle
stand in Woodward's name, having
been negotiated by George McLaren,
loan agent Of the Northwestern life.
Agents in Tacoma made recent tide
land purchases. including a strip of
tide land thousand feet wide at the
harbor front and a mile and quar-
ter long and half mile wide at the
farther end.
The San Francisco call., 1904-06-26

For brief time yesterday Mel
bourne MacDowell, the well known
actor and star in tragedy, was much
sought after by police officials and
friends. A letter bearing the thes-
plans signature and announcing his
determination to transfer his abode
from terrestrial to celestial climes was
received by Coroner Leland early in
the afternoon. The Morgue, however,
was cheated of its prey. MacDowell
appeared later at his accustomed
haunts, much the worse for wear and
profuse with denials and denuncia-
tions.
The envelope that reached the Cor
oner's Office was a picturesque affair.
The name of DR.. Leland appeared
directed to John J. Bannon. Then
that the epistle might not stray from
the city such words as Frisco" San
Francisco" and California were re-
written as often as space would per-
NIT, only to be scratched out again
and blurred with ink. The letter was
written on a Windsor Hotel letter
head and was intelligent enough ex-
cept for spelling and punctuation. 1t
read:
June "a. 1904.
Coroner. Dear Sir: IL anything
should happen me you can blame my
managers, Messrs. Delisser and Mer-
Ger, for the way they had the Exam
iner hound me. Now am down and
out with not even chance to leave
Frisco 1 have been drinking of late,
l admit, but they are the cause. They
have also caused three of my best
friends, members of the company, to
turn against me, Elliott, Quillinan and
Miss Fuller.
Notify T. L. Hart OF my difficulty
and Dave Wise, Columbia Theater.
Bly'n, N. Y. May God bless you all.
MELBOURNE MACDOWELL."
Inquiry was made at the Windsor
Hotel by the Coroner soon after the
letter was received. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the actor and some of his
company had been stopping at the
hostelry since May / and that the for
mer had been drinking heavily for
several days. He had left his room
about the noon hour with no known
destination. A search for him began.
Gloomy pictures of a tragedy on the
bay or in the park were dissipated,
! however, when the corpulent actor
drifted back to the Windsor about 5
o'clock and attempted to explain as
best he could the occasion for all the
commotion.
MacDowell was deep in his cups.
