Senator Hale, Takes. Hold
Of Railroad Rate Tang|e.
Expected That He will Soon
Have Matters in Shape.
The Public Building Bill will Mean Much
Work for Maine.

Washington, D. c.. March 5.-(Spec-
ial)-SenatOr Hale has now taken hold
in earnest of the railroad rate Situa-
tion before the Senate. 1t is believed
that he will be able to straighten out
the tangle. Because of differences Of
opinion between the President and
many Republican senators as to what
the provisions of the rate regulation
bill should be, there has been consid-
cradle delay and not a little factional
feeling.
AS long as the bill remained in the
interstate commerce committee, Sena-
tor Hale kept aloof from the con-
trOversy. He is not member of that
committee and till the committee re-
ported there was little occasion for him
to attempt to reconcile the divergent
views in the Republican ranks. Re-
Gently, however, the President has con-
ferred with Mr.. Hale on the matter.
The two have a very complete UNDER
standing of the situation and are work.
ing in harmony to effect an agreement
which, it is hoped, will include prac-
tically all the Republicans in the upper
legislative branch.
Senator Hale believes in the adop-
ton of an adequate judicial review
provision for the courts in the case of
any rate made by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. He believes in
stronger provision than the President
has been advocating but the difference
is so small that common ground on
which all can stand will be found.
AS big committee victory as Sena-
tor Hale has scored for some time Oc-
CURED last week in the Senate COM
mittee on Philippines, where he and
Senator Lodge, the chairman, had a
friendly contest to determine which
should have a majority of the COM
mittee on his side. AS is already well
known Mr.. Hale won handsomely The
eight Republican senators of the Philip
pines committee are Lodge, Mass;
Hale, Maine; Beveridge, Indiana Bur-
rows. Michigan; Long, Kansas; Dick,
Ohio: Nixon, Nevada; and Brandegee.
Connecticut. When the final vote was
taken the only Republican senators
Mr.. Lodge found voting with him were
Beveridge and Long. The others were
in list with Mr.. Hale.
The fight was a prolonged one, al
though entirely friendly between Mr..
Lodge and Mr.. Hale. Massachusetts

RED MOUNTAIN MINES
New York Company Takes Option on
ThIrIy-tWo Claims.
BEGINNING OF GREAT ACTIVITY
The Red Mountain Go'd and Copper
Reduction Company Take Option
ON Group OF Claims.

There was closed at Seattle last week
a deal by which the above company
secured an option on thirty-two mining
claims in which Leavenworlh people
are largely interested. The property
is in the vicinity of the holdings of the
North Star Mining Co., in the Red
Mountain mining district. 1t was in
connection with the closing of this deal
that John A. Miller spent last week in
Seattle.
Mr.. Miller located mining claims in
this district more than twelve years
ago and has spent all his spare time
and money in the development of the
property. He has done enough develop
ment work on the property to convince
Phillip Corcoran, mining expert who
was sent out here last summer to make
an examination of the property that it
was worth taking an option on. The
price fixed on the group of claims is
1885,, 900.
With the opening of spring the work
of proving the propert" will begin.
Besides Mr.. Miller, the Leavenworth
people who are interested in the deal
are DR.. Shore, Joe Teshera. r. T. King
and Edward Ellis and A D. Frazier, of
Seattle.
The Bowlingreen Trust Co, of
Broad way New ork, is the eastern
financial agent of The Red Mountain
Gold and Copper Reduction Co, and
the Scandinavian Bank of S. attic, is
the Washington agent.
The writer made the acquaintance of
Mr.. Corcoran while he was here last
suming gentleman who had very little
to say but who had the appearance of
man who knew what he was about.
The richness of the mineral bearing
lodges in the Red Mountain region has
been known for years but the inacces-
sibility of the section has been the one
great drawback TO its development
Now that it has become known that a
state road is to be built right past the
property its development will go on
rapidly and uninterruptediy. The
deal just closed will only hasten the
work.
With the completion of the state
road this summer there will be a
splendid wagon road to the property
with very light grades.
Unlike some other promising mining
regions in the state of Washington it is
not very far from railroad and should
it ever become necessary TO build a
standard gauge railroad or an electric
line TO the mines it would be COM
paratively small undertaking as the
distance from the track of the Great
Northern is not great and the natural
obstacles to overcome of no great con
! sequence.

Home OF Swan Olson Destroyed by
Fire.

On last Friday morning about 2
o'clock the home of Mr.. Olson was en-
tirely destroyed by fire. The fire was
discovered by some member of the
family, but too late to extinguish the
blaze. 1t is supposed TO have caught
from defective fue.
Mr.. Olson's house was situated be-
tween the home of Charles Anderson
and Thomas Coleman, not more than
thirty or forty feet from either, and
both had a very narrow escape. The
household goods of both Anderson and
Coleman was removed from the house,
but fortunately neither burned. Mr..
Olson saved all his household goods.
The house was covered by insurance.
Mr.. Bjork, friend of Olson's not
knowing that his loss was almost
covered by insurance, raised a sub
scription for his benefit, to which
everybody to whom it was presented
contributed. When Mr.. Olson heard
of it he asked Mr.. Bjork to return the
money to the subscribers, saying he
was young, ablebodied man, and that
his loss was not so great but that he
could bear it, and while he was pro-
foundly grateful for the motives which
prompted the subscribers, and thanked
them for their good will, he must de-
cline TO accept anything from them.
Mr.. Olson is an employee of the mill
company and has lived here bout two
years. He is an Industrious ano
worthy citizen who enjoys the conf
dence and respect of all who know him
