WISH TO BUY POSTAL SERVICE
Syndicate Of Capitalists Will Submit
Cffer to Run Mail Service.

A Washington special says Uncle
Sam will be asked to turn over to a
syndicate of capitalists the conduct of
the postal business. The joint COM
mittee of congress investigating postal
abuses and intr usted with recon-
mending reforms. which has been in
session in New York. has resumed its
meetings and w. D. Boyce, of Chica-
go, will go before the committee with
bona fide offer made by substantial
capitalists to take over from the gov
ernment the postal business and re-
lieve it of all the great expense at
tached.
The offer has several objects. 1t is
true that capitalists have been found
who believe that money can be made
by monopoly of the postal business.
Whereas the government has failed to
make the postoffice a paying institu-
tion, the capitalists believe that by the
introduction of business methods they
can put the department upon a diyi-
dend paying basis. Wells Fargo Tx
press company saw enough money in
the monopoly to offer the government
bonus of 81, 900, 900 year if per
mitted to run the p0stofIice. The
proposition is presented in good faith
and will serve the double purpose of
emphasizing with the public the fact
tnat there are capable business men in
the country who believe that they can

TWO SMALL BOYS KIDNAPPED
Police of sandusky, Ohio, Try to fiSd
the Children.

In an effort to locate two boys who
were kidnapped or mysteriously dis
appeared in Sandusky, Ohio, July g
1899, the chief of police of that city
is sending circulars throughout the
land seeking information as to the
Whereabouts of the children, in hopes
that the parents of the boys may learn
something to their advantage.
On the night of July 13, 1899, two
boys, Joseph With aud Willie Missig,
aged 10 and II years respectively were
playing on the streets of Sandusky. o.
That was the last seen or heard of
them. The boys were either kidnap-
ped or strayed away. All efforts to
locate the missing children have been
in vain and for seven years the parents
of both boys have been searching the
wide world over.
The circular which tells the story
gives the boys photographs, taken
when each child was small and per-
haps they have greatly changed in
looks by this time. The circulars are
being sent to every police Office in the
world, and every effort is being made
to find the children who are n0sy
almost grown to manhood.

.REORGANRE PHONE COMPANY
New Corporation With Fifty Million
Capital to Be Formed

The recent advance in the price of
the shares of the Pacific States Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has at
tracted considerable attention within
the last few days, say San Francisco
advices. On November l the shares
of the company were rather slow at
500 per share, while yesterday ITO
was rid, but nothing obtainable at
less than $113. For the last 10 days
here has been some quiet buying OF
these shares at prices in excess of
$105.
In explanation in the rise of values
it is announced that the company
will undergo complete reorganization
and new company is to be organized
under the laws of California with
$50, 900, 200 capital to take over ths
stock Of the present concern. It will
be divided into $32,00O,OOO preferred
aud SIT, 900. 900 stock. Bonds will be
issued to rebuild and extend the lines
Of the company.
The expansion of business during
the last ten years has exceeded the
company's expectations, and on the
showing of recent years the company
has determined to extend its lines to
every village and hamlet within the
borders of the territory. Eighteen
million dollars is to be used for this
purpose.

new PHASE or COAL FAMINE
Citizens of Winona, Whitman County,
Confscate o. r. & NJ. Coal.

F. T. Abbot, D. R. & N. agent at
Colfax has made asdemand for the ar
rest of six citizens of Winona, small
town in the western part of Whitman
county. demanding that they be off,
cially accused Of larceny and arrested
on that charge. The alleged oifense is
the theft of company coal from car
at that place. The demand was made
by order of Division Superintendent
Thomas Walsh of the 0. R. g. N. at
Tekoa.
Last Wednesday car of coal was
received at Winona, consigned to the
agent at that place. Many families
in the town were entirely out OF coal
and suffering extremely because of the
cold weather. In many instances chill
dren were sent to neighbors who had
some fuel to keep them from suffering
extremely from the cold. Leading
merchants and business men offered
to buy the coal to prevent further
suffering, but were met by refusal
whereupon tho citizens collaqaed
enough money to pay for theS sire.
car of 20 tons at the rate of $S a ton
and deposited the money with Stewart
Small, merchant They then ap-
pointed a weighing master and pro-
ceeded to help themselves to the coal.
The entire car was appropriated and
distributed to the people who were out,
each getting about half ton.
The prosecuting attorney refused to
file an information, giving as his rea-
sou that no jury in Whitman county
could be found who would convict
these men.

give the people penny postage and au
excellent service, as good as that per-
formed by the government. The offer
will have the effect of showing to the
people that these business men, who
will give satisfactory bond, will
guarantee to give the patrons of the
postoffice reduced postage rates,
which the department officials unite
in reporting the government cannot
afford to do.
The proposition broadly stated, is
that the government shall withdraw
from the field of controlling public
utility and shall place the business of
transporting and delivering the mail
private hands, as the express bust
LESS is today conducted. The capital
lists who are willing to assume the
burden will pay the government
renta. for the postoffice buildings all
over the cou,try and will charge the
government regular rates of postage
upon its mail, which is now carried
free under frank and penalty stamps.
1t is roughly estimated that the gov
ernment would offset in money re-
ceived from rentals of the buildings
the charge it would annually be re-
quired to pay for the transportation
of its mail.

RIVER RUNS AWAY
PuyalluD Becomes Independ-
ent and Elopes with Chuck
LEAVES NORTHERN PACIFIC DRY
The New Highwater Mark Gives
Valuable Pointers to Chicago,
Milwaukee and st Paul

The Puyallup river, which at
Auburn was utilized by the Northern
Pacific railroad company for supply
ing a water tank that feeds the rail
road locomotives on the Portland
Seattle run, has escaped from the
company and is running away into
the Chuck river watercourse some
miles distance from the water tank.
The company is digging a large well
at the tank to supply the locomotives,
and engineers are figuring on plans for
recapturing the runaway Puyallup
and bringing it back to its bed.
1t was during the recent floods in
Washington that the gay Puyallup
went on rampage and decided to
elope with the Chuck. 1t went out
over its banks and after etfecting a
union with its neighbor deeper
chanuel was cut in the latter stream
and the runaway abandoned its old
course entirely, leaving the railroad
company in the lurch and the fine
truss bridge at Auburn spanning dry
ravine.
While Northern Pacific people have
been put to great expense and trouble
by the floods, the water has taught
many valuable lessons in time to the
engineers of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway company, now
building to the sound and Portland.
1t has shown them new high water
marks and given them pointers on
where to run their lines 10 avoid
future floods. II. s. Rowel general
agent for the Milwaukee in Portland,
speaking of the effect of the floods on
construction work in Washington,
said:
''The Milwaukee's grades are wash
ed in numerous places, but no serious
damage has been done by the floods
along our route, for the reason that our
work was not far enough along to be
very much hurt. The grades have
been completed in many places, but
there were no ties or iron on them.
and the washing down of the embank-
ments is easily and quickly remedied.
The floods were the greatest ever
known in western Washington. They
have served very useful purpose for
the engineers of the Milwaukee road.
"At Seattle the flood scenes were
almost unbelievable. Many acres
of suburban property where people
had bought cheap lots and acreage
tracts and built little homes we're en-
tirely under water.

Work Resumed

Active work is Low going on on the
East Umatilla project after some delay
on account of the recent floods. Forty
men are now at work on the headgate
with about dozen teams, which will
be completed in about a week. Two
hundred and fifty men are at work on
different parts of the project The
upper end of the ditch will be earth
for about half mile, then comes a
half mile of rock section, and little
below Echo there will be mile of
cement gravel, all of which requires
different work in different sections
along the ditch to the Columbia.
