Railway Commission is After
President James J. Hill
ARE sEEnNG VALUABLE INFORMATION
WOULD LIKE TO ASCERTAIN HOW
MUCH WAS PAID TO BUILD
RAILROADS IN STATE.

Undismayed by their previous re-
buff, Chairman Harry A. Fairchild and
his valiant co-workers in the state
railroad commission are lying in am
bush for President James ]. Hill of
the Great Northern. When that mag
nate comes to the coast this month the
commissioners will try to leave a list
of interrogatories with him before the
Great Northern's president has discev-
cred their presence, says the Seattle
Times.
The railroad commission wants to
know how much it cost to build the
Hill lines in this state, and as no one
else will tell them they will try to ap-
peal to Mr.. Hill in person. With a
year of training put by, the commits
sion believes it can get into Mr.. Hills
presence and file their questions.
When Hill was last on the coast the
commission was worried by a dearth q
information on other topics. The tip
went out that Mr.. Hill would stop at
the Washington hotel, and the rail-
road commission moved up from the
Butler so as to be nearby when Mr..
Hill would send out a messenger boy
to look for them. Mr.. Hill did not go
to the Washington and the commits
sion spent a proftless night in the
lobby. A trusted emissary was dis
patched to Hills train, but the mag
nate was too busy to give audience to
the regulative commission. Then an
other ambassador stood around on first
one foot and then another while Hill
but the railroad president did not
know he was there
All the other mental worries the
commission has suffered have been
thrust aside for the coming occasion,
and word will be carried to Mr.. Hill
if he will stand still and receive it
that the commission will be happy if it
can find "hOw much it cost" The COM
missionerS insist that Mr.. Hill can an
swer these questions while eating
breakfast, so no time need be lost
One of the duties prescribed by the
railroad act for the commission is that
of ascertaining how the money was
spent in construction days The COM
mission, imbued with hope, thrust an
inquiry before the Northern Pacific,
organized North Pacific railway took
over the entire property for a lump
sum after the receivership days, and

According to the latest reports from
court circles Zenobia Galatschka is in
danger of being supplanted by a theo-
sophist named Beuningen. Beuningen,
who was formerly a colonel in the Rus

attention of the car, who has mani
tested an interest in his prophecies Of
the future. Beuningen predicts that
the last pope will be deposed and the
Vatican destroyed in 1923. He also
predicts that America, England. Ger
