DUMA DISCUSSES BUDGET
kuttIer Declares $2,7 100000 49,
Been Spent for War AdventurisA ~

st. Petersburg, April 3.-The lots.i
house OF parliament began discussing
the budget for 1907. Finance Minister
Kokovsoff appealed to the members
to deal with the subject in a national
spirit and not from the standpoint OF
party politics.
The principal reply to the minis.
ter's presentation was delivered by
the expert of the constitutional demo
Gratis, Minister Kuttler, who criticised
the budget from the standpoint of the
present financial system Of Russia,
particularly the direct forms bearing
heaviest or the poorer classes, but
recognized the impossibility of max
ing reckless attempts to change the
system
He attributed Russia's financial diff.
iculties to the costly war, the costlier
revolution and the great famine,
While the total expenditures, $1,236,'
900, 900, showed a nominal decrease OF
$40, 00O, 900 over 1906, the actual saw
ing was almost 5000, 900, 900. The gov.
eminent was really spending last year
S1,649, 900 1000, owing to the extraor.
binary expense, famine relief, ETC., in
stead of the $685. 0O, 900 contem.
plated by the budget.
M. Kuttler analysed the public
debt, amounting to $4,000. 900 900
with an interest charge of $19l 900,
900 annually, declaring that only 81,
$50, 900, 900 had been expended on
railroads and productive works, while
$3.50, 600, 900 had been spent for wal
adyenturiSm.

SOUND MILLS
 OUT OF GRAIN
Association Will Start Fight to Compel Railroads to Move
 Wheat Faster.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle, March 3O-The flour mills association will undertake to force the railroads to ship wheat to them. The mills have closed because they were were out of grain and no apparent effort is in progress by the railroads to meet the demand. The elevators in the wheat region are full but the rail roads haul scarcely any of it away and in consequence the farmers who wish to sell have no place to deliver it.
 The millers' association will invoke the aid of the state railroad commis- sion if the railroads continue to dis regard the demand for active wheat shipments. Under present conditions the flour supply may run short in a few weeks.

City of Mexico, March 25-After a fierce battle Choluteca, Honduras, was captured by the Nicaraguans, and President Bonilla of Honduras fled, leaving his army. It is believed that this ends the war. The fall of Cholu- teca loses to the Hondurans the whole district of the Choluteca rlver.

Contractors, Engineers and Bridge Carpenters Arrive on the
 Santa Clara.
WILL BEGIN WORK AT ONCE
Graders Will Be Sent North as Rapidly as Tbey Can Be Secured
 by Employment Agents.

Steamer Santa Clara arrived in port from Seattle Saturday evening with tbe first installmeut of railroad build CTS, including A. w. Watson and A. l., Snow, the contractors, and J. B. Cameron, engineer of construction About twenty bridge carpenters and several engineers also came.
 The contractors state, as previously wired from Seattle, that work will be pushed as fast as mem can be obtained. It will require ruStling to get men on account of the general demand throughout the northwest and the lively competition for their services.
 Work on the bridges near the end Oi the track will begin in 8 few days, although operations will be handl- capped during April on account Of the heavy snow. The track terminus hap pens to be in the belt of heaviest snowfall. The rails are laid to the beginning of the long treStle just be- yOnd the first tunneI. Inc IIvS'lo 'S about half decked and when that work Is finished the track can be laid nearly , mile farther, to the glacial moraine on mile 50, where a Howe truss IS to 70 in. On mile 5l are two trestles on she 'Ioop." The snow is very deep all around this work but construction will proceed nevertheless.
 During the winter bridge timber has been brought to Seward steadily and che last of the order for 75O,OOO feet, placed last spring, was filled a short dime ago. The Santa Clara brought SD instanment of new order. Enough timber is now here to finish the bridges as far As mile 54, where Che line reaches the Placer valley flat.

Details of the stranding of the Northwestern were brought to Seward on the Santa Clara. It is stated that she is in no serious danger and can re- main safely where she is until the wrecking tug arrives, unless a violent storm should strike her, an event which rarely happens there.
 The Northwestern grounded in get. ting away from the dock. She had discharged her cargo and thrown off her lines, but for some reason, probably because her engines were not working with sufficient power, she failed to start and the high wind blew her directly against the reef, which was only few rods away. Its location is well known.
 As the hole is in the steamers bow and her forward compartment is filled with water the bow does not rise with the tide and she cannot float of. When the wrecking tug arrives divers will patch the hole and the water will be pumped out. The vessel will then float at high tide and she can be drag. ged upon the beach, where repairs will be made sufficient to enable her to sail to Puget sound, where she can soon be made good on the dry dock. FThe Santa Clara will take the North western's remaining Valdez cargo.
 The Yucatan is called twin of the Northwestern although her gross ton- mage is 29 more and net IT less and she is said to be of little finer interior finish. She was built at Chester, Pennsylvania in 1890, a year later than the Northwestern. Her gross ton mage is 3525, net tonnage 23l7, length 336.2, width 43.2, depth 22, indicated horse power 26OO, crew 72.

ANNIVERSARY OF
 RAILROAD START
Three Years Ago This Week Construction Began on
 Alaska Central.

Three years ago March 2S, 1904 the steamer Santa Clara landed che first force of railroad builders in Seward and grading from the water front began immediately. The birth day of the town was seven months earrer,-August 2S, 1903, but no work on the railroad was done until the uext spring. The dock was partially constructed meanwhile.
 During 1904 track was laid to Lake Kenai, eighteen miles from Seward, and some grading was done beyond that point. The Frost syndicate then took over the enterprise and work under the new management began in 1905. A larger force of men was em- ployed and early in 1906 the track reached the end of mile 46. Since then little progress has been made ID tracklaying because of the 30OO feet of tunnels on miles 49-52-53. The track end is on the dump st the farther end of the first tunnel on mile 49, where it stopped last fall because the bridge builders ran out of timber for decking che big trestle just beyond.
 The grade now is completed except in a few spots to mile 69, and the piles all driven for pile bridges, so that only bridge construction remains to be done to make the roadbed ready for twenty miles more of rails.
