SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 2O.-H. st.
John Dix, known in Portland probably
as an emissary of c. E. Loss, for whom
Dix negotiated the transfer of the
mythical United Railways company,
but more prominent on Puget Sound
because of having been engaged in the
banking business at New Whatcom,
and subsequently serving a term in the
Washington penitentiary for success
fully wrecking the financial institution,
with which he was connected is again
in the limelight, through the issuance
of restraining order from the SUI
perior court, preventing Hofius & Co.
from paying to Dix certain money said
to be due as his fee in the sale of GER
tain railroad material in Portland. Dix
was sued by j. L. Shute, Seattle bar
Der, for the repayment of $4,000, which
the former is alleged to have obtained
through misrepresentation.
Suit was brought by A. ]. Speckert,
attorney for Snute, and the history Of
the action includes a flying trip to
Portland and return by Shute and mis-
attorney in an endeavor to attach a
sum of money that was to have been
paid to Dix in that city last Saturday
According to information filed, the
sum sued for was secured by Dix from
Shute, on representation that he was
concerned in big deal and could re-
pay the money in a few weeks. Shute
indorsed several notes for Dix. and al
so gave MIN large part Of the money
in cash. When the notes came due
Dix defaulted in payment, and also
failed to repay the cash loan.
Later Dix went to Portland, where he
was engaged in promoting a deal for
the United Railways company. He Sc
cured a sum of money as cOmpensa-
ton for his work. He was also con-
cerned in the sale of the chamber of
commerce building in that city to w.
D. Hof1us, of Seattle, receiving for his
services in this transaction the sum of
SIT 900, it is alleged.
Dix. as an officer Of the United Rail-
ways company, sold to the Hoflus Steel
& Equipment company, of this city, a
lot of steel rails that has been bought
by the company for the construction of
a contemplated railway. Shute learned
that there was balance Of bout $4,000
coming to Dix on this transaction, the
money to be paid to Dix in Portland

The earthquake at Valparaiso occur
red on the slopes OF the great chain Of
the Andes, district which has been
shaken by such movements ever since
the country has been known TO history.
The strata OF the continent has been
pushed up to heights OF nearly 10000
feet. all along the western side OF South
America. A large number OF volcanoes
exist In the chain OF the Andes. but
they are not continuously distributed.
There Is one numerous group In Colon
bla and Ecuador. and then a gap oc-
ours, Peru being almost free from vol.
canoes. the second group occurring near
the southern boundary OF the country
In the Lake Titicaca district Then an
other break occurs. and the third series
OF volcanoes begins Just south OF San
tlago.
The sectional view shows how the
great range OF the Andes rises on the
western edge OF the continent and slopes
away to a wide plain towards the east
The ocean depths or Valparaiso are also
severe. the 80oo-foot line coming close
in shore as indicated In the one-column
map. The strata adjacent to these
great inequalities Of height and depth
are In state of great strain.
