permanent, but still he was unable fo

nations by the best of physicians did
not reveal the secret Of whv an other
wise apparently well man could not
use his feet and legs.
Inc specialists found two extremely
sore spots TO the left Of the patients
spine and decided that two of the YER
tebrae had been displaced and were
pressing on nerves which controlled
the power OF locomotion, particularly
of one of the legs. He stated that
these could not be relocated at once
but the shock of the operation would
undoubtedly be too much for Mr.
Burns SO he is gradually working The

TRAFFIC sLAcKENs A BIT.
This Result Due to Activity of Farm
ers in the Fields.

Chicago, May 15.-Oficials of the
western railroads for the first time in
many weeks declare that they notice a
slight falling off in traffic. The traf1c
situation has not reached 9. point where
the car supply is easy. but it is not
so difficult for shippers to get the roll
ing stock as heretofore Traffic men
attribute the Iun in business to the
activity of the farmers in the fields
rather than to the adverse factors
which have been working against BUSH
ness expansion during the past three
weeks Nevertheless there is a tenden-
cy now among the interior merchants
to Ego slow"
There Is still heavy movement of
freight to the Pacific coast, but good
deal of this is low revenue business, SO
it will show up extensively in favor
Of greater earnings. Railway officials
are inclined to take a hopeful view of
the rebuilding of San Francisco and
they thoroughly believe that the di-
minution in traffic win be only tenn

porary: that our unprecedented period
Of prosperity has not begun to wane
The rate situation on the western
roads is undisturbed although business
interests IN the central west and south
west are ciamoring for lower tariffs in
order to Increase their sales. There is.
however, small proba bility that the rail-
roads VIII make the desired concessions,
although they have them under consid-
Grafton.
Passenger traffic on all lines is fairly
heavy for this season Of the year. In
fact, travel has been remarkably heavy
since last fall and officials look for a
steady increase from now on.
The tie-up of the boats on the lakes

mage from the upper lakes in the way
Of ore and lumber The eastern lines
have all the business they want without
that tonnage.

THE HILL-HARRIAfAN FIGHT.
Anything But a PacificatOry Competi.
tive Struggle Coin On

tive Struggle Coin On
The era of competitive construction
IL the Northwest, predicted by Mr.. 6ar-
riman, is in full swing, but Mr.. HIS
pacifcatory declaration that no strug-
gle" says the Railway Age, would re-
suit, is not being confirmed just now.
In fact, the forces of these great rail-
way builders have had number of ex-
citing and inharmonious encounters,
physical and legal and genuine
struggle" between Hill and Hartman
interests is still going on in the region
of the Columbia river and Puget Sound.
1t is war of competition instead or
combination The fight is over making
two railways grow where one grew be-
fore, instead of making one out OF
MANI.
Thus the Union Pacific-AIr. Harri-
man-has several lines into Portland
and wants one or two to Puget Sound;
the Northern Pacific. Great Northern
MI. Hill-has two lines to the Sound
and thence one to Portland, and wants
another direct to Portland.
Mr.. Hill, in the person of the Port
land & Seattle Railway company, COM
of the Columbia river, while the Wal
lula Pacific and Columbia Valley COM
panies, suspected of being Mr.. Harrl-
man in disguise, found it absolutely
necessary to build along the same route.
Struggles promptly began and have
been numerous al various points Tor
the last six months or So One con-
struction party built a high trestle and
the general adversary burned II down.
One shoveled out cut and the other
buried it under a fill.
At another point Mr.. Hill-or was it
Mr.. Harriman2-in the persons of his
hirelings playfully dropped lighted dyn-
amite bombs on the enemy's grade, at
first mercifully using long fuses to al
low time for escape. But when a brave
foreman, who knew a thing or two
about dynamite, rushed in and put out
the blazing train. the attacking party
from above tossed down short fuse ex-
plosives, smoking for business, which
scattered the hordes of the hated rivals
without ceremony. Meantime, also, the
struggle has been going on merrily in
the courts, as well as on the grades
The latest and merriest development
shows each contestant demanding en-
forcement of the same law to restrain
his competitor from doing the very
thing that he is undertaking to do.

PROMOTION work
GOING AHEAD
THE PARKING OF THE WAIKIKI
ROAD WAS CONSIDERED YES
TERDAY-OTHER WORK.

The regular meeting of the Promo
tion Committee was held yesterday
afternoon those present being Chair
man McCandless, Gartley, Spalding,
Smith and Secretary Wood.
The Improvement of the Waikiki road
was first discussed. The chair thought
that it would be a mistake to park the
middle of the road and suggested the
planting of a double row of trees in
stead The matter will be left in
allegiance until the arrival of Robinson
the park expert.
Spalding reported on the response
which had been made to the appeal to
form improvement clubs about the
city and suggested that ladies should
be invited to cooperate. He made
reference to the weed-covered lot at
tn corner of Punahou and Wilder ave-
nue.. 1t belongs to the school depart
ment but Superintendent Babbitt says
that he has no money available for its
improvement. 1t was thought that If
the department could not take care of
the lot, it had better sell the land.
A letter from L. A. Thurston was
read in which he counselled having the
entire work put under direct and res
ponsible supervision. This view was
adopted byNthe committee
The suggestion that place be set
aside either at Nuuanu stream or one
of the islets at Kapiolani park for
| transformation into a Japanese garden
was approved.
The committee thought that POST
master Pratt's proposition to rae Ho-
nolulu Hale was a good one and the
| Supervisors will be addressed on the
| subject.
As to the yacht race from the Coast
| it was stated that Clarence Macfarlane
was perfectly willing to sail La Paloma
in the race but that it would cost him
| $1,000 to put the yacht i'm shape and
that some of his expense should be
borne by others.
It was decided to offer several cash
| prizes for the pau riders in the floral
| parade These will be given for the
most graceful riders and for the most
| attractive costumes.
