Plans for Secretary's Comfort
Being Marked Out.
HE WILL 60 TO RIO JAAE|Ro
THE UNITED STATES CRUISER
CHARLESTON WILL CONVEY
HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Everything
is being done to make the journey of
Secretary Elihu Root, when he travels
to Rio de Janeiro to represent the
United States at the Pan-American
congress this summer, as pleasant as
it can be made. The secretary of
state will be accompanied by his wife
and daughter, and will make the trip
by sea on board the United States
cruiser Charleston.
To provide comfortable quarters in
harmony with the Importance Of his
rank and the Importance of his mis-
sion required considerable work and
an outlay of considerable money. For
painters were at work to complete the
changes on board the Charleston which
were necessary to provide quarters for
Secretary Root and his family. Six
ty-four feet forward from the stern
on the gun deck and the entire width
of the ship will be given over to Sec
rotary Root and his family. COmmo-
dore Cameron McRae Winslow, who
was in command of the Mayhower
when President Roosevelt was on
board as commander in chief of the
navy, will give up his spacious quar-
tiers and take the humber state room
now occupied by Lieutenant Command
er r. L. Russell, the executive officer,
who moves down a peg of personal
comfort by the shift of his room. The
admiralS cabin has been converted
Root has the cabin bedroom and bath
room of the admiral's suite, the main
rooms being finished in mahogany,
with mahogany furniture, the steel
bulkheads and sides being painted
white. The suite formerly occupied
by Commander WinslOw and now CIV
en- over to Secretary Root is almost
identical in size and furnishings with
the other suite. A temporary steel
bulkhead separates the two quarters,
but it is being removed. This will
make room for a grand dining room
twenty-five feet in width and fifty
feet long, athwart the ship, which will
be used by the secretary of state in
entertaining the South American repre-
sentatives.
On the warship will be a band of
dull hour on the long run in winter

nearly three thousand miles.

the summer operations planned for
the army and such militia as may take
part in the mobilization will afford an
excellent opportunity to make a prac-

adopted for the military establish
ment. There has teen more or less
criticism of various things, such as
the marching shoe. the new Logging,

of the army shoe prefer a double sole,
and others a single sole. There is
also a division of opinion over the rel

to add comfort to the shoe, if lacking

DOCKS EVERYBODY BUT HIMSELF

A state of smouldering revolt exists
among the employees of City Engin-

of docking his assistants for every

sons, while Thomson neglects to dock
himself when he is in Walla Walla or
some other town on purely personal
business, says the Seattle Times.
On the payrolls for the month of
May, now in the hands of the comp
troler has been found evidence suffi-
cient to warrant open hard feeling
among the men obliged to call Thorn
son their chief. Eight men, among

working on monthly salaries, had their
pay from half a day to three days cut
off because they did not find it possible

The completion of the road down the

of twO-tenths of one per cent. The
new line around Napavine hill, to be
ordered later, will reduce the grade

the road can secure almost any grade
desired. rivaling the Columbia river
route if the Point Defiance scheme is
carried out. If the line retains its
route between the city proper and
South Tacoma, the present heavy
grade will have to be maintained
Though the Northern Pacific only
contemplates handling traffic south of
Centralia over the new line, it is de-
clared by operating officials that trains
could be operated as far north as
Seattle as cheaply over the new line
as they could be hauled over the noun
tains. where a maximum grade of %
per cent is encountered.
Northern Pacific officials claim that
line has more miles of road in actual
course of construction west of Billings
than all other systems In the north
west combined. This will not hold true
when the Hartman and ST. Paul pro-
jections are started and when the
Great Northern begins work on it's
British Columbia line. But at present
the 500 miles of new Northern Pacific
roadway represents more actual track
age work than all the other lines
show.

HAVE NO FAITH IN HARTMAN
Hill Officials Say That He Is Not
in Earnest.
THERE WILL Be NO COMPROMISE
CLAIM NO NECESSITY FOR LINE

o. r. e. N.
THERE WILL Be NO COMPROMISE

SEATTLE, June 9-Hill officials
claim that even the Vancouver hear
ing, during the course Of which the
good faith of the Hartman line on
the north bank of the Columbia river
was called into question, has not
prompted Hartman officials to greater
activity. Men who have come to Seat
tie after a trip over the right of way
of the Hill line claim that only a
handful of workers represent the Har-
riman north bank road, and that no
effort is being made to show good faith
in the construction of a rival road.
While the Northern Pacific has more
than 5000 men employed on its work,
the Hartman forces do not exceed
200.
Practically all the right of way for
the Hill line has been purchased save
that involved in litigation There are
scattered pieces of land wanted by the
road over which negotiations will prob
ably extend for another month or two
and it will probably be necessary to
keep a right OF way man on the ground
until construction work is completed.

onstrate that the Hartman interests
are not in earnest over their line.
The utility of north bank road for
Hartman is questioned by Hill men.
Hartman has a line into Portland
down the south bank of the Columbia
which handles the traffic now reach
ing tide water. A road down the
north bank is not an operating neces-
sity, and it would not of itself create
new traffic. There is a rich country
lying back Of the river on the Wash
ington side, but to tap it means the
construction Of new branches, some
thing Hariman's plan does not con-
template.
Though title has not been actually
passed to the Northern Pacific in the
purchase of the Columbia River North
ern, it is we'll understood that this
line has been acquired in the Hill in
terests. 1t now runs from Lyle to
Goldendale, only getting to the edge of
rich wheat country and lying miles
distant from the best belt of oak tim
Der in the northwest. The Hill sys-
tenn will extend this line to Bickleton
prairie and build a branch into the
timber belt. Other branches along the
river are probable.
