MILWAUKEE, CREEPING IN.
Outlook Man Says Right Of Way Agent
Bought Thirty Acres.

Wallace Goodseil Of Outlook was in
the city Monday and called at the Dem
ocrat office. Mr.. Goodsell is firm
believer in the future of the Yakima
valley, and particularly in the Out
look section. He stated that the rail-
road company recently incorporated at
though he was not in position to
state who the hackers of the propos-
ition are.
The gentlemen behind the movement
did not divulge their intentions to the
public while in the town, and left as
quietly as they came. 1t is understood
that they secured an option on tract
Of 80 acres of land adjoining the town
site for division headquarters and will
erect and maintain shops in the town.
w McF. Stewart, president of the Co
lumbia. Outlook & Northeastern rail
way, has nothing to say about the
matter at present, further than that
they mean business and will build a
railroad across the country.
Parties in this city who claim to be
in touch with the railroad movements
in the northwest think that the new
company is a part of the ST. Paul &
Milwaukee system. and that the main
line of the Milwaukee will be tapped
in the Big Bend country and built
through Outlook to Portland, OF to q
connection with the old Vancouver &
Yakima road, which was heard sc
much of several years ago. This lat
ter road is now operating about IL
miles of railroad out of Vancouver
into the heart of the Cascade noun
tains. Again, it is said that the new
prososition is Canadian Pacific
scheme to enter Eastern Washington
and on to Portland Whatever it is
the people of Outlook are very much
worked up over the matter and an
xiously await further developments.

Dotted over 40 Mile Trail He
Can't Get Far From R0ne
HAS ONLY DOS FOR HIS COMPANY
MAKES $1,000 IN WINTERS WORK
CATCHING OTTER AND OTHER
FUR BEARERS.

A. c. Kesling resident of the va
kina valley for the past % years. and
a pioneer trapper. came down from his
log cabin near the foot of Mt. Adams
today. arriving in the city this morn
ing, says the Yakima Republic.
1t took the trapper four days to make
the trip out over the snow. He was ac-
companied by his faithful dog Bob. y
Keslng is known to all the old timers
around here as "Ad.' In fact there are
those who have known him for years as
"Ad. the trapper," and have never
known his last name. He is one Of the
most successful trappers in the north
west, and the receipts for his winter
trapping amounts annually to some
thing like $1,000.
While talking to a Republic reporter
this morning the old trapper SAID
among other things that he had eX-
perienced the worst winter he had ever
known in the mountains in more than
20 years. The snow is II feet deep on
a level. and his nine log cabins along
the route of his trapping territory are
entirely covered, making it necessary
for him to dig down this distance in
order to find the doors.
Has Plenty to Eat.
Every summer Kesling lays in sup
ply of wood at each cabin. and he
stocks up his pantry with bacon, beans
and flour. He said this morning that
he had a sufficient food supply to last
him we'll along into the summer
months, and tomorrow morning when
he starts out on his return to the
mountains he will only take along suf-
ficient grub to last himself and Bob on
the way.
Kesling brought out with him on
this trip So martens, eight fisher. two
otter and II beaver furs. He will ship
them to a firm in ST. Louis.
1.-The best part of the winter is yet
to come, and l expect to have a big
wear this season." said the old trapper.

Worth Remembering.
Nebraska State Journal.

John A. johnson would hardly have
been governor of Minnesota had the
statewide primary been in effect there,
so as to give the majority party a
chance to nominate satisfactory can
didate of it's own. This may not be
the reason why Governor Johnson does
not favor the statewide direct pri-
mary, but it is worth remembering in
that connection.

a recent arrival from Chicago, as he
dashed into the drug store of Godfrey e.

he whispered to one of the clerks, lean

holding out a shaking hand "Give me

kind-so long as it will be sure to do it's
work.
The man was assured the poison would
be given him, but that it was necessary
to mix several ingredients in order to
make it powerful enough, and he agreed
to wait until it was ready. He was
shown to small room in the rear of the
store and the clerk notified the police.
Detectives were sent and Roderguiz was
arrested by them. When taken to the
central station he was placed under the
care of the police physicians in the re-
ceiving hospital. Today he will be sent
to the county hospital, as it is believed
he is insane.
Roderguiz is a cigarmaker and came to
Los Angeles several months ago from
Chicago. Since his arrival in this city
he has been unable to secure work and
for several days has been without funds.

Declares Witness

Satisfied as the result of conversation
over the telephone, Walter o. Schmal
loosened the strings of an obese purse
in May last and paid good money, to-
gether with a desirable lot in San Diego,
for the furnishings of a rooming house
at 2431a South Spring street, known as
the st. Paul hotel.
Yesterday he aired his troubles in
Judge Hutton's department of the su-
perior court, claiming he was the victim
of conspiracy, the conspirators, ac-
cording to his complaint, being H. s.
Coleman, Carrie B. Coleman and two
other persons whose names he did not
know.

stranger in a strange land. One witness
| testified that Coleman had summed

green" while another declared Coleman
had designated him as "easy" and spoke
slighttngly of his rural life.
The story was a long one and occupied
practically the entire day in court. When
Schmal came to Los Angeles some
months ago he at once set himself to
the task of investing his wealth, the
fruits of many years of self-denial. The
rooming house business appealed to him
and when he learned that the forty-room
place on Spring street was for sale he
Immediately began negotiations for its
purchase. The Colemans were running
the place at the time and were willing
to sell; Schmal says they were overly
anxious.

the Colemans, and he states they as
sured him this was an easy matter. as
the owners were anxious to renew the
lease.
He was still unsatisfied when he made
his next call, and to reassure him. he
says, Mrs. Coleman called I'D someone
on the telephone and held a conversation
regarding the lease. This person, Schnal
says, was represented to him to be
Aobelein, and he was asked to talk with
nlm' which he did, The man at the
other end of the line assured SchmaI
that everything was all right: that q
lease would be signed and that the rent
would not be increased
On receiving this assurance Scbma1
closed the deal with the Colemans. He
later called on Zobelein, who informed
him he knew nothing of the telephone
conversation; that they had no intention
of making new lease with anyone. and
that the rent would be increased S25
monthly at the expiration of the old
agreement.
Schmal asked for a cancellation of the
contract and the return of his money and
lot. Judgment was rendered in his favor,
