New York Advtces Say Great North
ern will Make Big Cut.
New York, March 30.-The Central
News Agency says:
"The Great Northern management
proposed to make = reduction in freight
rates for the coming year, which would
amount to about So, OOC, 900 or 81, 000,-
900 if applied to traffic Of the year end
ing June 80 next.
cit has always been the policy of
the Great Northern to keep rates down
so as to encourage the growth of bust
ness, and by the APPLICATION of scientific
methods to the roads operation to
compensate for the low rates by very
low cost Of conducting transportation.
In the current fiscal year extraordinary
progress has been made in reducing the
cost of operation and shippers will be
given the benefit Of much of what has
been accomplished in this direction.
"The outcome will be watched with
interest, as undoubtedly the reduction
of rates will increase the volume OF
traffic on the road, and with such in
creased volume the Great Northern
will show record Of average train
loads such as has never been eQualled
by any road similarly situated.

CANNOT CHANGE nETHODS.
County Officers Must Stick to Rec
OrdS Prescribed by Law.


Seattle, March 27.-According to q
decision handed down by the supreme
court Friday, under no conditions can
any county install system of tract
induces in the county auditors Office.
The decision was in Injunction pro-
ceedings brought by John L. Dirks
against the commissioners and the
auditor of Spokane county to restrain
them from keeping the system Of tract
induces of realty transfers, amounting
in substance to a public abstract of
title of the lands of the county.
The decision is in line with one Civ
en- in the proceedings brought by for
mer Auditor Lamping, of KING county.
against the commissioners of that
county to prevent them from purchas-
ing and installing such system. The
court holds that the law specifies what
manner of records should be kept and
to maintain different system, even at
small expense, is an injury to the tax
payer.
cit will not do" the opinion sums
up, Ito say to public official that,
because much money is saved by
spending little unlawfully, therefore
the public is not injured"

rather tiresome, another disadvantage
being the uncertainty AZ TO whether
an equal amount Of light II reflected to
all parts Of the frame. A New York
man has patented the exceedingly sim
ply and useful attachment for gas light
printing Of negatives shown In the Il
lustration. 1t can be attached to any
gas jet and anyone can easily make
one. The holder for the printing frame
is arranged transversely on an arm.
this arm having small opening In ono
end to fasten 1t to the gas jet In tho
other end Of the arm is longitudinal
slot, through which the holder slides
with means for clamping the holder at
a desired point Of adjustment on the
arm. Provision is made for printing
frames of different sizes, spring In
the holder holding the frame rigidly
In place. BY the use Of this attach
ment good print Is ASSURED, as the
negatives can be adjusted in posi-
ton to secure an equal amount Of
light on all portions.

considerable excitement at points in
the Northwest by the announcement
that large quantities of oil Of q valua-
BILE character is gushing from the earth

The peculiar death of Kukahiku, q

the natives the old belief in the power
Of gods to whom the race used to make

meats to ship on an American vessel
but his mother objected 20 strongly
that the captain refused to accept the

ing home, he slapped her face and
cursed her In the name Of Kuhinu and
other old Hawaiian gods. Then he ap-
prentieed himself to carpenter and
was employed to make repairs on the
Bishop museum.
He was assigned to az mp the glass
roof Of tho Hawaiian hall. In which
