PLACED BY RAILROADS

Cleveland, Sept. 1.-The Iron Trade
Review in its current issue says:
Sales of steel rails since the price Of
$28 for 1906 delivery was announced
last week have been tremendous, break
ing all records and furnishing substan.
ttial evidence Of great prosperity in
thu iron business, present and prospect.
i've. 1t is estimated that these orders
for rails for 1906 placed within week
will amount to 100000 tons, and or.
ders for several hundred thousand tons
are pending.

were the following: Northwestern,
60, 900 tons; Burlington, $4,000 tons

St. Paul, 1000 tons; Wisconsin Cen.
trail, %, 200 tons; Great Northern, 40,
900 tons.

GOLD OUTPUT INCREASES.
Figures for 1904 for the NOrthwes
Are Given Out.

Figures for 1904 for the Northwest
Are Given Out.
Washington, Sept. 11.-An increased
production of gold in the state of Wash.
ington in 1904 is indicated by the final
estimate for all the states just given
out by the director of the mint. The
production for Alaska for the past year
was not only considerably larger than
1t was for 1908, but more than $780,.
900 larger than was indicated by the
preliminary report Of Director Roberts,
made last January. For the year 1904
Alaska was third in gold production
among all the states and territories,
Colorado being first and California SEQ.
oHd.
During 1904 Washington state pro-
duoed 1927, 900, as against $297. 900
in 1908; Oregon 1900. 300 against
81 200. 200; Alaska, 50, $40, 400, against
IS, 614, 700.
In the production Of silver last year
there was an increase in Oregon and
Alaska, as compared with 1908, but a
decrease in Washington.
The decrease in silver production in
Washington last year, was due, accord
ing to Assayer Wing, of the Seattle
office, to curtailed shipments of ore
from the Deer Tail districrt in Stevens
county, the limited operations in Ferry
county and the suspension of operations
in the Monte Cristo mines during the
entire year.

Over q Thousand a Month Disposed
Of at Niles civ.

WI bUOuSoutO q IuOUuut OtSVOSSu
Of at Niles lliy.
Butte, Mont, Sept. 11.-At Miles
City, in Eastern Montana, there is an
institution not at present equalled in
any other part Of the United States. 1t
is the monthly horse sale, and during
its progress the town is full Of horse
men from every part of the Union.
The sales have been organized by A.
B. Clarke, and in the neighborhood of
5000 horses have already been sold
into the Eastern markets this season
through his efforts.
Another sale Is to be held this
month, and it is estimated that 1000
animals will be disposed of to buyers
at that time, making grand total Of
Miles City sales since June of nearly
5000 head.
Many of the horses are sold singly,
but most of them go in bunches and
carload lots.
The animals are range horses mostly,
and are considered good investments.
They are broken to ride and drive and
can be placed in service in the Eastern
cities and on farms at once. In spite
Of the immense number that have been
sold, the supply seems as large as ever.
Large sales are held at Billings also.

TO GIVE FIRE WARNING.
Telephone System Proposed for For.
est Reserves,

Washington, Sepe. 11.-For the better
protection of the forest reserves, the
forestry service, in cooperation with
the weather bureau, will install Il sys-
tenn of telephone lines and stations as
rapidly as possible.
The first system is being installed on
the Big Horn forest reserve in Wyom-
ing. This will enable the forest ran
gers to notify the weather department
when forest fires break out. In 80 large
an area as the Big Horn reserve, which
comprises 1,151,680 acres, the value
of rapid communication is obvious. A
statement on this subject issued by the
forestry department says:
at is highly important that this
system Of fire warning may be extend
ed to other reserves. The putting out
of forest fire may depend on the i'm.
mediate knowledge of its origin and
this new fire alarm device ought to
produce excellent results.

RACING FOR CONTROL.
Rival Roads Seeking to Control Wafer
Level Grade Up Columbia.

Portland, Sept. 11.-Developments
of the last few days, confirmed by the
fact that large sums Of money have
been and are being spent in railroad
surveys along the north bank of the
G olubmia river, indicate that fight
for the control of the water level grade
along the Colubmia, from Eastern
Washington to Portland, of no mean
proportions. will occur within the next
few months between the Hill and Har.
riman interests.
Two companies having in the main
the same purpose have been recently
organized, the Portland and Seattle
railway, which is allied with the Har.
riman properties, and the Wallula Pa
cific, an offshoot of the Hill roads.
Both these roads purpose building
down thu north bank Of the Colubmia
river, and the Portland and Seattle, in
addition, proposes to construct line
to Seattle.
Surveying parties said to be re:eiv-
ing pay checks Of the Northern Pacific
company. are active in the district ly-
ing between Vancouver, Washington,
and the Cascades of the Columbia.
On the authority Of a right Of way
agent who is said to be acting in the
interests Of the Northern Pacific road,
the statement is made that a right of
way has been purchased, with but two
insignificant exceptions, for the entire
distance between Vancouver and Ken
newick, Wash.
This man also states that within the
next few weeks contracts for the con-
struction of a road bed will be let, and
he adds that President Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific will, within the next
few days, make an important an
nouncement. The information is also
ascertained that Louis Gerlinger, pres
ident of the Wallula Pacific, will make
an announcement within the next ten
days.
1t is also stated that surveying par
ties representing the Portland and Sc.
attic road are in the field between Lyle
and Vancouver, Wash, and that sur
vey work is being vigorously pushed.

TAINTED MONEY"
GREAT DISCUSSION OCCURS IN
SEATTLE this week.
American Board OF Commissioners
for Foreign Missions Of COnare.
astiOnaI church VIII Decide Up.
on Policy In Regard to Con.
tribut0OnS.

Seattle, Sept. 1.-The American
Board Of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions of the Congregational church
will hold its annual meeting in Seat
tie this week, beginning Thursday.
September IA, and continuing to Mon
day, September IS. The session of the
board will be of national Importance.
During its continuance there will take
place one of the great discussions of
modern ecclesiastical history. DR..
Washington GLADDEN. and Henry &.
Whitcomb, the two we'll known OK.
ponents of conflicting opinions on the
"tainted money" issue will present
thier cases to the board at this sitting.
The two famous advocates will argue
the question of accepting Rockefeller's
money for the spreading Of the gospel
among heathens, and the American
board will decide the debate.
As is we'll known DR.. GLADDEN. has
taken an antagonistic attitude toward
the money offered bpy Mr.. Rockefeller.
The.doctor claims that the oil kings
fortune has been amassed in a most
hTristianlike manner and that it
should not be used in defraying the ex-
penses Of missionaries or for establish
ing educational institutions among the
pagans. He believes that the dignity
of the work cannot be maintained and
feels that to use Mr.. Rockefeller 8
money is an endorsement of his indus
trial methods, which are claimed to be
universally regarded as reprehensibl
The prudential committee, which is
the executive committee of the Amer
lean Board, and which body has &C.
cepted one donation from the oil king,
takes the opposite position. Through
its chairman, Henry G. Whitcomb, it
vigorously asserts that the money of
Mr.. Rockefeller, or Of any one else rec.
ognized as the legal owner of property,
is not to be refused on account of any
sentimental theories that place upon
it the stamp Of ignominy.
The outcome is important, because
it marks the attitude of one of the
great religious congregations of the
country on the methods of modern in
dustry and places the stamp of approx
al or disapproval on one Of the most
talked of men Of the age. While the
discussion is at present within the
ranks of the Congregational church it
is more Or less universal, the tone of
opinion reflected by this body being
sufficient to establish precedent and
to set standard by which all dona-
lions of this character will in the fu.
ture be judged.
For these reasons a world wide in
terest will be manifested in the meet
ing Of the leaders Of this denomination,
which will begin in this city Thursday
and extend to the following Monday.

eight hour day and "closed shop
which was inaugurated as a national
issue last week when President Lynch,
of the typographical union sent out a
Telegram calling strike in every shop
