ENVELOPE IN SIGHT OF TIMES OFFICE.

There he is, There he is! The NAL
tese Cross man
These were the words, coming from
over a hundred threats, as the young
nan in dark clothing left The Times
Office al 4:45 yesterday afternoon, and,
after leading the huge and constantly
increasing crowd in d .circuitous route,
finally marked the last of the six Nal
tese Crosses at the base OF the statue
OF Franklin, at Tenth and Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, almost directly in
trent of the starting place.
Hardly had the young man in dark
clothing turned the corner of Ninth and
Pennsylvania avenue before the crowd
guessed his destination, and with good
natured shouts they ran in front of
him to The Times office. No effort was
made by the marker to restrain the
eager seekers For over half an hour
he was jostled about the streets, and
often swept almost off his feet by the
close pressing throng, and being al
lowed to walk alone, even for a very
relief
Starts on Jaunt.
Promptly at 4:45 the times+set forth
in the clue, young man with Maltese
Crosses on each of his arms sauntered
out of the door, and marked the first
cross on the lamp post in front of the
Office. Instantly he was surrounded. He
started up Pennsylvania avenue the
center of a big crowd that had eyes for
onlysone thing-the piece of chalk in his
hand, with watch from time to time
he marked large Maltese Crosses.
Up Pennsylvania avenue to Fifteenth
street, up Fifteenth street to f street,
when the man turned eastward, the
crowd followed the marker F. street
was traversed until Ninth street was
reached. when The marker again turned,
then direct to The Times Office.
1t was a multitude that accompanied
the marker to the place chosen for the
last of the six Crosses. All along the
route, people had stopped, wondered at
the crowd, and finally joined it and
followed the man. Hardly had the
last Cross been marked before a street
urchin, more agile than his fellows, had
climbed to the feet of the statue OF
benjamin Franklin, and was giving that
famous gentleman a more careful scru-
tiny than he received even when he ap-'
p.ared before the French monarch in
the plain garb of Quaker. More agile
than his -playmates, he was also
much more agile than the reporter who,
while the crowd was following the man.
had hidden the money. No envelope was
found secreted about the statue.

Seattle, April Whereas the Far
Eastern war is directly responsible
for a general stimulation of some
lines of business on the Pacific coast,
(for obvious reasons,) the compile
mentary fact that it has very nearly
obliterated another line is known to
but few aside from those Immediately
interested.
When the Japanese declared war
on the Russian, they probably never
knew they were dealing a blow at
the coal production of the Pacific
Northwest, but this has proved to be
the result of the hostilities in the
Orient. Formerly the coal mined on
the coast had an extensive market in
Siberia and Japan. After war COM
menced, the carrying of the product
was seriously interfered with, with
the result that during the past year
there has not been over rs per cent
of the amount of coal formerly min
ed in the two states.
The demand has thus been largely
cut off. but as soon as the war is
over a revival of the coal-mining in
dustry, both in the CowlitZ district
of Washington and the Coos coun-
try of Oregon, is looked for. The
product of the Cowlitz district is
semi i-bituminous, and seni-anthra-
cite has been dug. The coal depos-
Its in the Cowlitz country extend over
large area, but the depth of the
veins has not yet been determined
with any degree of certainty as ex-
tensive development work has not
been largely done. This is one of the
important things yet to be learned,
as II is well known that the pressure
TO which the coal has been subjected
in the formation of It, determines its
quality to a large extent.

MYRICK SEEDING FINISHED.
Work Of Following Land Was Con-
siderably Delayed.

A. B. Molstrom, who is here today
from near Myrick, states that the
seeding in that portion of the county
is all finished, and that the farmers
are turning their attention to pre-
pairing the summer fallow. This work
has been considerably delayed this
season, according to Mr.. Molstrom,
on account of the fact that farmers
were compelled to reseed their fall
wheat at a time when they usually
work the summer fallow. This delay
in his opinion, is the only bad effect
of the freeze, as the new grain is
doing so well that few regret having
been compelled to reseed.
But a few weeks ago Mr.. Molstrom
sold 61e acres of wheat land which
he has been farming near Pendleton.
to w. z. Temple, and after doing so
bought 800 acres near Myrick. where
he is now living.
