rangements preliminary to the erao.
ton of the building. The sum of s2O.

A few days ago Matt Piles, memho,
of the state board of control pnd.,
the supervision of which the reform..
tory is to be built, called on NJ
Scheurrer for the purpose of securing

Of $4,000. the consideration agresa
upon in the option he had signed
was a fair price for the land. He said
he would not now sell for less than

"By the refusal of Mr. Scheurrer IA

Piles. Monroe is in danger of losing

HARTMAN INTERESTS WILL
MEET TOMORROW TO DISCUSS
NORTHWEST CONDITIONS.
According to a special dispatch from

According to a special dispatch from
Portland, E. H. Hartman has sum-
moned all the prominent officials of
his lines located in the northwest, to
Salt Lake to attend conference to be
held there on Tuesday. Hartman is
now on his way west, and he wants
to go over the situation in Oregon and
Washington without the necessity of
coming here to confer with local Off
Gals
J. D. Farrell, vice-president and
general manager of the Oregon &
Washington, was not in Seattle last
night, but the Portland dispatch says
he will join j. P. O'Brien, vice presf-
dent and general manager of the o.
r. &. N. in the Oregon. metropolis Sum-
day night. Together, with other high
Hartman officials in the northwest,
they are to go east tonight in O'Brien's
private car.
Farrell will take with him COM
plete maps showing the progress of the
work between Portland and Seattle
as we'll as the alternative routes the
company has found for it's Grays Har-
Dor extension. He will also report on
the progress Of surveys III the Olympic
peninsula, which are now practically
completed.
Controls Oregon Lines.
O'Brien is in charge Of all the Har-
sv1<@ to -
jurisdiction over the Southern Pacific
lines as far south as Ashland and
controls the eLtire o. r. & N. system.
He is in general charge Of the sur
veys the Hartman engineers have
been running in Central Oregon, where
it is proposed to cross the state and
tap the rich empire that has not been
penetrated by any road.
III addition to the railroad work
that Hartman is doing, O'Brien will
have to make report on the progress
of rival lines projected into Oregon
territory. Several roads are projected
into the central and western parts Of
the state that would cut into the Har-
riman revenues if permitted to build.
There is prevalent an impression that
Hartman will order railroad con-
struction to head off these enterprises.
1t may be the Salt Lake conference
will decide upon a policy.
New Boat Needed.
The loss Of the steamship Columbia
will make it necessary for the Harri-

Last Sunday afternoon Douglas was thrown into an uproar by bunch of Slavonians, who got into scrap on the wharf. Several shots were fired and cautious citizens began to take posi- tions behind the large buildings on Third street. After the smoke of bat tie cleared, one man was found to be winged slightly, otherwise no special harm was done. The combatants, shooter and shootee, were toted over to Juneau and consigned to the tender and loving mercy of the federal oft1ci- als. When men carry guns they will use them-sometimes without caution or judgment. The only thing to do and Douglas citizens should insist on it-is to enforce the ordinance which prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons. If this is not done, some of these days a good man will be killed by some worthless scalawag and then it will be too late.

Carl Erickson Weeds.

A special correspondence to the News from Spokane, Wash, says:
 Seven thousand men, women and children showered rice, confetti, coins and old shoes and cheered and ap- plauded two couples publicly married at the Spokane Interstate fair grounds last night The first to step under the floral wedding bell were Carl Erickson of Douglas, Alaska, leader of Nat Reiss' carnival band, and Pansy Smi-Latta of Olney, H., who were joined by Rev. George Seiberger. They met at Wall lace, Idaho, in the heart of the Occur d'Alene mining district, east of Spo- kane, and it was a case of love at first sight. The participants in the second wedding were Mattie Lattice and her brave, Chi-Midelare of the Kalispell tribe of Montana, the Indian rites be- ing performed by Chief SmOi-Kee. The Indians were in their picturesque garb, the aged chieftain paying special atten- tion 70 his toilet. Chi Midelare is one of the riders in the Indian relay races occupying ten days. Following the ceremonies the merrymakers took pos session of the Pike, continuing the fes- tivities till after midnight.

A Time for Everything.

A pious parSon good and true
 Was crossing OCT the seas, When suddenly there fiercely blew
 A wild and sweeping breeze. He feared the storm the ship would
 wreck;
 His heart was sore afraid He sought the captain on the deck,
 And found him undiSmayed. The captain saw his awful fear
 And led him up to where The servant of the Lord could hear
 The sailors loudly swear, You clearly see," the captain said, If danger lowered nigh They'd all be on their knees instead
 And asking grace to die" The parson felt his words were true, And when the skies grew fair He marveled how the sailors knew
 Just when to pray or swear. But when the seas which wildly flowed Had ceased to plunge and spout, Unto himself he said it showed
 They know what they're about" But later on another storm
 Came fiercer than before. The parson heard with wild alarm
 The oceans angry roar. He sought the deck in awful dread To near the sailors get. He listened-then he bowed his head Thank God, they're swearing yet. '"
