The Columbia River & Northern
railway has been sold for approximate
ly $1,000,00O, presumably to eastern
capitalists, though in reality, it is
thought, to the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, and in a few days the
formal transfer of stocks and proper
ty of the company will be made from
the old owners to the recent pur-
chasers, says the Oregonian.
The Columbia River & Northern
Railway Company is backed largely by
Portland and Oregon capital, and is
| road running from Lyle, to Golderdale,
a distance of 46 miles. The road is
equipped with three locomotives. two
passengers, IL miscellaneous and J5
feight cars, making total of 50 cars
ready for use on the line. In addition
to this property the company owns the
Regulator line of steamships, consist
Bailey Gatzert, the Dalles City and the
Metlaco.
Officers of the Company.
The capital stock of the company is
estimated at about $2OS, 900, while there
is large bond issue, the estimate of
which is not at this time obtainable.
The president of the company is Ru-
fus Mallory; vice president, H. L. Pit
took; secretary, E. E. Mallory, AMI
general manager, H. C. Campbell.
The safe of the Columbia Northern
is not admitted openly by any of the
stockholders, though it is known to be
settled fact. Some of the persons
interested refuse to discuss the ques-
ton, claiming ignorance of any deal
being on or consummated others say
they have no statement to make for
publication, but the fact is that the
sale was finally arranged during the
first part of the week. the negotiations
being. carried on by A. L. Mills, c. F.
Adams and other of the prominent
stockholders Of the company.
If it is true, as it is supposed, that
the short road has passed into the con-
troll of the Northern Pacific, it would
argue much not only for that district
through which the road runs, but for
the whole northwest. The old dream
of the north-bank grade Of the North
ern Pacific into Portland has not been
forgotten and the project is not dead,
a fact we'll known among railroad
men. The Columbia River & Northern
already extends 46 miles into the
Klickitat valley and is headed toward
the northwest through the Yakima
country to junction with the present
line of the Northern. It would fur
nish a link and a district of rich rev.
enue which, it is thought, the wise
men at the head of the Northern Pa
cific have not overlooked and of which
they will take advantage in the near
future.

WILLIAMS AFTER COLLEAGUES.
Says Taxpayers Are to be Pitied After
Legislature Adjourns.

OLYMPIA, March 6.-Representa-
colleagues with a sharp stick yester-
day.
Il pity the taxpayers of the state of
Washington after this legislature ad-
journs," was the telling remark of
Williams. Some one called Louder
and the member from Pacific repeated
the assertion in a tone that could ne
heard everywhere in the large cham
Der.
do you hear that?" he asked, upon
finishing, while the members and the
galleries broke into tumultuous ap-
plause.
The statement was aroused by argu-
ment over H. B. No. 1913, by Lce n.
Johnson, to promote the fruitgrowing
and horticulture interests of the state.
Among other provisions there was one
authorizing the employment of county
deputies at salary of Sc day, out OF
which they were to pay their expenses
The house appeared to be geograph-
ica1ly divided after Representative G
L. Davis of Chehalis, had introduced
an amendment reducing this salary to
81 per diem. The east side members
were prone to stay with the original
sum while the west side representa-
| tives were inclined to be more econom-
ical. The west side men finally won
| out and the wages were fixed at 81
The victory for the west side was
largely due to Williams cutting re-
mark.
The discussion on this amendment
occupied fully half an hour. Those
from the east side contended that good
deputies could not be hired for less
than Sc per diem, while the author o.
the amendment pointed out that at the
rate Of IS per diem the deputies would
receive more salary than the commits.

WILL NOT DIVIDE DOUGLAS.
House Votes to Indefinitely Postpone
Hughss' Bill.

OLYMPIA, March 6.-Coulee coun
ty will not be created, the house votins
down the proposition to divide Doug
las county.
Representative Hughes, of Douglas
author of the measure, made a har,
struggle to save it, but he was in tn,
minority and the bill was postponed
indefinitely.
The matter caused no little discus
sion some of which was quite spirited
Maloney started the debate by NOV
| ing for postponement and stating thai

satisfied the bill would be killed. He
added the present was not the time
for division.

the reason that the county is too large
Mass meetings, he added, had approved
the bill.
Radcliffe said Hughes was the only
member of the committee on counties
and county boundaries to favor the
bill, the others wishing it postponed
He said it was piece of cheeky bust
ness.
Bishop of Jefferson, chairman of the
committee, said he would continue to
oppose the bill unless majority of the
people of the county were in favor of
division. He told of messages coming
to him telling of opposition to division.
Hughes, in answer to questions, said
Douglas county contains about $500
square miles. 1t is proposed by the
bill to place 5000 square miles in the
new county He said the population
of the county is growing at the rate
of 1000 a year.
Other members thought it wise to let
matters alone as long as the inhabi-
tants of the county are divided upon
the question. They also were OPP
posed to taking much of Douglas coun-
tvs railroad from it by division. Mr..
Hughes made a further argument for
his measure, but it went down to de-
feat.

FESTERDAT'S STOCK MARKET.
PrOat Taklne on an Fnormons scnIo

Profit Taking on an Enormous Scale.
 New York, Nov. 22.-There was even more irregularity in the market to-day than yesterday. when the realizing of speculative profits first began to show a pronounced effect. This process of proft-taking was continued on an enor- nous scale to-day. The speculation. however, was very animated and en- braced a large number of issues. The volume of dealings rose to the largest aggregate of any day on the movement. The action of the market suggested a | shifting of speculative ventures on a prodlgious scale from one set of secur- ltles to another. Selling out at some points was accompanied by wholesale buying at others. Whether the two op- erations came from the same sources or sources acting in concert, however, was not clear. There were some indi- cations to suggest that one powerful speculative party was selling out while another was making fresh commitments in the market.
 The prott-taking was most conspicu- ous in some of the stocks which had been the most effective leaders for some time past and whose movements were of proportiOnate influence on specula- tive sentiment. Reading and American Smelling were the notable examples in this class. In the latter part of the day the influence of the realizing in these stocks rather dominated the market. There a hIxr t1ly Iicnocitioy, in the usual utterances, supposed to represent the speculative views of in- f1uential leaders, that a sharp reaction in the market was to be looked for after the violent advance, but that it was believed that this consummation would be deferred for some time yet. But the furious trading at new points in the list revived the spirit of speculation in oth- CT quarters. Brooklyn Transit was the center of interest and the market meth eds employed in the days operations in that stock suggested the resumption of veteran speculative leadership. The heaviest buying in that and in other stocks which moved upwards most rap idly was attributed largely to houses having important Philadelphia connec- tions, while it was the common suppo- sition that large realizing sales were made for account of various western centers.
 Amalgamated Copper became very active with the announcement of an ad- vance in the price of crude copper. It was not until late in the day that movement in Erie, Atchison and Union Pacific suggested any general attention to the railroad list. The market made some recovery from the active selling movement of the last hour, but the clos ing was irregular.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $5, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

THE HUMANE-AMERICAN SOL DIERS.

A little incident, recently published in one of the Manila newspapers, as told by one who, at the outbreak of the war, had taken up arms against the United States. illustrates the work ing of this spirit of magnanimity. Af- ter stating how the Filipinos were led to believe that the Americans were fierce, cruel, treacherous, rapacious unprincipled, and that it would be q, war of exterr1ination, this Filipino re- lated the following:
 Belt war;. we said, and war to the knife Well, at Lipa we fought: our forces were defeated, routed, swept away, and worse yet, and many oth- CTS were made prisoners. Then we thought that the best way we could hope for was a speedy death. To my great surprise, however, we were not ill-treated, Soon as a prisoner of war. I began to learn more of the ways and manners of these Americans. The first thing that caused me to open my eyes occurred in Lipa.
 "One day as a poor native from the country was driving an unwilling cara bao, attached to a rickety, creaking cart, through one of the streets of Lipa, a loosened lynch pin slipped out of place. Off 'Whirled the wheel from the axle, and down with crash came the cart, native and all. A squad of Ameri- en soldiers saw the accident but instead of standing around and jeering, as a crowd of Spaniards Cor Fillipinos) would have done, immediately everyone went to the old mans assistance. The poor tao was somewhat hurt; this the Americans asoertained as soon as they picked him up, and without delay they ripped open 8 'first-aid' packet and proceeded to place a bandage around his bruised arm. Then they lifted up theNcart, replaced the wheel, securely put in the lynch pin and sent the poor old tao on his way rejoicing, the
