THOMSON'S PLAIN TALK.
Proposes Spending $17,0o0,00 To Cut
Down Hill.

SEATTLE, Wash, May Getty
Engineer R. H. Thomson has declared
that 81, 100000 should be spent to level
Beacon hill and make the southern part
of the city available for factory and
railroad terminal sites. The city en-
gineer demands that the city encourage
the reduction of the big bluff that rises
above the tidelands.
In a speech delivered before the
Manufacturers association, the city
engineer declared that the Beacon Hill
bluff must be taken down to fill in the
tidelands of the city. Unless this is
DONE the city engineer stated, Seattle
will be unable to take care of the
wholesale and manufacturing growth
of the city.
Engineer Thomson severely criticised
the commercial bodies for their recon-
mendation of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul franchise He declared the
city council was prepared to protect
the citys interest but that the COM
mercial bodies demanded the grant
ing of the franchise as the road sug-
gested it and the citys interests suf-
fered.
The speech of the city engineer is the
most sensational utterance of NUM-
cipal official that has been given in
years He set at defiance the feelings
of the mayor and city council and out
lined his own opinions to the manufac-
turerS.
Discussing the pending franchises, he
insisted the railroads, meaning the
Union Pacific, needed Seattle more
than the city required the Hartman
interests. He insisted that the COM
mercial bodies should stand behind the
council in requiring new lines to OBJ
serve local requirements.

Knocked From Train.

A. w. Ray, an o. r. & N. freight
brakeman of the La Grande division,
was knocked from a car by the mail
crane at Wilbur thirty miles east of
here last night and seriously injured.
He was found by a following train
and brought to this city, from where
he was sent to La Grande on train No.
6, says the East Oregonian.
AS Ray was coming over his train
from the caboose to the engine, he
climbed from a fiat car to a high box
car, and as he swung around the
corner of the high car the mail crane,
which was extended with the mail
sack in readiness for the morning
train, struck him on the side of the
head and shoulder and knocked him
from the car to the ground, where he
lay in a dazed condition for some
time, when he walked to a farm house
nearby and received assistance in
dressing his injuries. He tagged a
following train and was brought to
this city. His own train crew, believ-
ing him to be on the train somewhere,
did not miss him until reaching Bing-
ham Springs.
1t is not thought that his injuries
will prOve fatal althOuoh no iS Sori.

Ditch Companies Appeal.

PROSSER, May 23.-The Prosser
Electric company has filed a suit in
the superior court against the Prosser
Falls Land<& Power company, of which
E. F. Benson is president and practi-
cally the owner for $24,O9S.4O damages.
The complaint alleges that in April
of last year the defendant company,
when placing its poles for its electric
light system, set pole so close to the
wires of the plaintiff that it caused
their wires to ground" burning out
their generator and causing damages
to their business of S1,49S.4O.
Another cause of action is an alleged
injury done to the f1ume of the plain
tiff when the defendant built its dam
in the river. the allegation being made
that a portion of plaintiffs dam was
cut away and also the timbers consti-
tuting the gratework; that it's machin-
cry has been injured in consequence
and its own f1ume injured as we'll as

plaintiff has a leasehold right, and

council passes the saloon ordinance
which will be presented to that body
at it's regular meeting Wednesday
night The ordinance is now practi-
cally drafted and ready for presenta-
ton.
Councilman w. A. Whitman, chair
man of the police and license commit
tee of the city council, who returned
Saturday after an extended trip in the
east, detailed last night the main pro-
vision of the new saloon ordinance,
which has been drawn up under his d.
rection and with the assistance of
Councilman Richards and President E.
L. Salmson. Mr.. Whitman said that
some features in connection with the
measure would probably be taken up
by members of the police and license
committee today and that an attempt
would be made to have the ordinance
introduced Wednesday night.
The proposed saloon ordinance is
one that will, it is believed, meet with
the approval Of the citizens Of the city.
It's terms, while drastic along certain
lines, are in other respects considered
by those who have seen the measure
to be eminently fair to not only the
liquor interests, but to the people.

WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDAHO
BERRY B0XEsT1 COST MORE MONEY
Lumber Trust Of the Pacific Coast Ad-
vances Prices of All Box
Material.

The following notice of an advance
in the prices of boxes and bax ma
terial will interest strawberry growers
of Walla Walla county. The Oregon
Daily Journal says:
The combine which is alleged by
produce merchants to control the
manufacture of boxes has advanced
the price of the finished product from
IS to 35 per cent over the prices that
maintained two months ago The
new prices have just been put into
effect and the commission merchants
on Front street and others who find
it necessary to use boxes in their bust
ness are raising a protest. They de-
clare that the advance is exorbitant
and unwarranted. The average adj
vance in the cost of boxes used by the
commission merchants is about %
per cent.
In a circular issued by the alleged
combine announcing the boost in
prices, it is explained that such an adj
vance was made necessary by the in
creased cost of logs and labor. The
commission merchants say they would
like the combine to show them why

vanced % per cent.

HILL MAY INVADE EASTERN OREGON
New Phase of the Railroad Situation
in the Northwest is Reported
From Huntington.

The report comes from Huntington
that Hartman was forced into the
road by the activity of Hill in the
lower Idaho country This report says
that it is given out on good authority
that Hill has secured control of the
Pacific & Idaho Northern railroad and
intends to extend this road to a con-
nection with the Northern Pacific at
Grangeville, says the Baker City Dem
ocrat
If the Hill interests have secured
control of the Pacific & Idaho North
ern it means increased railroad build
ing in this section of the country and
it is possible that Hill may attempt
to get into central Oregon through
the extension of this feeder, thus
breaking into Harriman's most exclu-
sive territory. In this connection it is
believed that fear on the part of
Hartman that Hill would attempt to
invade central Oregon FASTENED that
magnate in putting surveyors at work
on the road across the state from
Natron to Ontario. Hartman probab-
ly hopes by building this road to shut
Hill out.
On the other hand it may be that
Hill is seeking a route to San Fran
cisco by running to Weiser or Ontario
and other connection with the Idaho
& Montana road which is building
from Butte across the corner of Ore
gon.
But Hartman is evidently deter
mined to build the road down the
Snake river. for there are now Sc men
at work on the route, making surveys
and taking photographs of the road
Where the river runs through rocky
canyons the men are going down on
RATS. taking measurements and photo
graphs. 1t is believed that for the
present the road will be extended only
to Homestead and the Iron Dyke
mines. but later will be built to Lew
iston.

GAS WASTE.

Nothing is more timely than the
aritation at this time for legislation
against the wanton waste of gas in
West Virginia 1t is gratifying to
note that the matter will be placed
before the coming legislature in an
Intelligent. torceful manner, and
that Hon. w. p. Hubbard Is one OF
those chosen for that purpose. This
latter fact gives the guarantee that
something effective will be done.
State Geologist White is enlisted
in the movement. He tells an as
founding tale but true to the letter.
Fuel of this sort is running short
in a number of fields and more re-
mote fields are being pipcd. The
driller, the operator, the owner OF
gas wells neglect. because of its inn
mediate plentifulness, to take prop
er steps to stop waste of the gas, and
resulting thcrefrom hundreds OF

Of. any. earthly use. The state has
been greatly blessed with this great
natural,resoGrce andGoH oft should
be converted TO use. or rather none
Of it should be allowed to escape
without being used.
a bin should be prepared and
passed that will be complete
remedy. Harrison county is one OF
the great gas belts and the Telegram
believes it speaks for the representa-
tives from this county in the legis-
lature. when it says they are eager
TO support such bill. With the
other counties as anxious to take
this step, the passage of such a bill
is assured.
