HE THREATENED SUICIDE.

TACOMA. June 13.-An open let

statement was what prevented the
suicide Of A. E. Elliott in the coun-

to serve to year in jail he had
taken 25 grains of morphine. The
jailer found the note before Elliott
had taken the drug.

before adjournment. Secretary
Taft is in earnest to have the mat
ter settled before the work pro-
ceeds much further, and it Is pos
sible that when the appropriation
of $25, 100000 for continuing the
work on the canal is reached an
amendment providing for an IS
foot lock canal will be introduced.
This would mean the determination
of the type before this great sup
ply measure could become a law.

TWO MIN PAROLED
 BY GOVERNOR kBBEY
Sentences Were Long and Were Half Served and Both are Old and Broken in Health.

Paroles were issued yesterday by
 Governor Kibbey. to two convicts in
 the penitentiary. on the recommends tion of the superintendent of the prison and the board of control One of the convicts is Thomas W. Smith and the other Is George Williams. and the pa roles are granted on the usual condi- tions that the men refrain from gam
 bling and from the excessive use of liquor, and that at least once in every six months until the date of the expir- ation of their respective sentences. they report to the superintendent of the prison by letter. informing him of their whereabouts and occupations.
 Smith was sentenced in Mohave county for five years from April 9. 1904, after conviction on the charge of manslaughter. He took the life of a mining and prospecting partner under circumstances that were greatly miti- gating and it is asserted by Mohave county people familiar with the facts that he was believed by many to have been fully justified and ought not to have been convicted. His conduct in the prison has been most exemplary and he is now in broken health. partly by reason of unusual work he has performed for the territory since his more particularly in the sinking of a well where the work was so dangerous that only those who vol unteere6 were SO employed
 George Williams. the beneficiary of the other parole. was sentenced in Final county Dec. 19 1896. to twenty years imprisonment for killing Cy Will Hams at Maricopa. He has served half or long sentence and by reason of ad- vancing years and infirmities is also very much broken in health. His con- duct during confinement has also been good and other facts and circumstances set forth in the application commended him to the consideration of the execu- tive.

TRUNK LINES OF THE FUTURE.

Discussion regarding the future o trunk-line railroads in this country ha! glowed With optimistic expectancy since F.. H. Harriman's recent public | assertion that we are entering upon ar era of unprecedented competitive rail road construction. Significant corro- boration of Mir HarIiman's prophetic statement Is found in the semi-Ofiicia announcement that the steel mills have
 on their books orders for more than l, 300. 900 tons of new rails for delivery in 1907. To produce this great quan- tity of rails will keep all Of the great
 American steel mills busy for at least eight months. Additional contracts
 are pending. SO that it is probable tha:
 next year will be a record breaker in
 steel rail production.
 The continued concentration of rail-
 road control in a few hands expands
 the range of possibilities in the matter
 Of greater combinations. one idea
 that growing into prominence is
 that the real trunk-line of the future
 must be a complete transcOntinental
 railroad. stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans.

 Evidence is accommodating that the Hartman interests are convinced that new conditions - governmental and otherwise - governing railroad indus- tries. have obligated the arbitrary dividing line which George B. Roberts and his contemporaries found in the Mississippi valley. If MT. Hartman really has an ambition to link an east ern trunk line with the Union Pacific. he has had the forethought to secure at least two strings to his bow.
