There have been rumors that the board

conduct of the police department during
the past year. which at times became
rather lively.
Charles against the head OF the depart
ment and allegations of graft from those
who had controlled this department of the
town were freely made. II was alleged
that many houses OF ill-fame are allowed
TO do business by the payment OF stipu-
lated sums of money to the right persons.
Several of the voters defended the po-
lice. declaring that they had done their
duty but IT was evident the greatt major
ity of the taxpayers were satisfied con-
ditions are pretty bad.
Finally a motion was made to rescind
the vote cast I'm 1894 allowing the sum
Of $50 per month TO members OF the paid
police department: and after some dis
cussion this resolution was carried by a
vote Of "a TO 40.

The regular meeting of the Fish and
Game association was held last evening
at which time considerable business was

Milwaukee Coast Line Will Have

Special to The Journal.
New York, June 1.-THE plans of
the Milwaukee with regard to the fnan-
cling Of it's extension to the Pacific
coast are said here to await the arrival
from Europe of ames Stillman. Ros-
we'll Miller, chairman of the board of
directors. is also absent from the city,
but is expected back before the 1st of
July.
Meantime, work is being pushed on
the location Of the line. President
Earling expects to announce the route
in full during the first week in July,
or even earlier. It is said that the
right of way has cost considerably
more than the routes used by the other
lines to the coast, but this is balanced
by the fact that on nearly the whole
distance there will be plenty of traffic
to be gathered as soon as the line is
finished.
Other railroads had to build up their
country before they could get anything
out of it, The Milwaukee finds dozen
fine traffic centers made for it. Miles
City, Butte, Lewiston and Ellensburg
are all centers of local agricultural
life and business activity. The road is
expected to pay fair rate Of inter
est on the outlay for building it almost
as soon as the freight schedule can be
put into effect.
