ROBBINS TO QUIT COAL TRUST.
Break Between Great Bituminous Oper-
ators Said to Be Cause.

y PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 5. - Francis
l. Robbins, for years the central figure
among the bituminous coal operators,
will resign as chairman of the Pittsburg
Coal company Monday. Former State
Senator William Finn is the probable
successor.
The passing of Robbins is the closing
chapter of battle in the inner circles of
the corporation. Two years ago Robbins
successfully urged the directors to place
$25,OO0,000 mortgage bonds with the
Frick-Mellon interests for $20,O0O,00O in
cash. This $5,000,0O0 cash profit caused
much adverse discussion.
Following quickly upon this was the
closing of the twenty-five year contract
with the United States Steel corporation
on basis said to be close to cost. Rob
bins is also said to have broken his
agreement with the bituminous coal OPP
orators i'll granting an advance in the
wage scale.

NO POSTAL LEGISLATION.
Investigation of Department Will Be
Made First, Which Will Garry Cues
ton to Next Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. o
There will be no radical revision of the
postal laws by the present Congress.
Important results are expected to fol-
low the thorough investigation of the
postoftice department, which now is
practically assured, and which will be
completed before the time for the CON
vening of the next Congress in regular
session.
When the investigation Is completed
the way will be paved for putting the
postal service on a self-sustaining basis,
and at the same time, perhaps, TO meet
the growing demand for a decreased rate
of letter postage.

it might be.

The Commercial Club OF Waterville
endorsed the purchase Of the bridge
across the Columbia at Wenatchee on
condition that all rights and privileges
to the use of the bridge by private par
ties and corporations be relinquished.
1t appears that the Wenatchee Canal
Co. has the free use Of the bridge for
the purpose of crossing line OF pipe
to water several thousand acres Of land
on the south side of the river. This
privilege the Waterville people estimate
to be worth some eight thousand dol
lars per year. If the people OF Wenat-
chez want their bill to pass the legisla-
ture they should cut the graft features
out of it, else it will be defeated.

SIX TOWN SITES
The Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul
Road Locates Ets Towns

The following dispatch was publish
ed in the Spokesman-Review last Tues
day:
The TOWNSHIP company of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
company has secured land for six town
sites between Saddle Rock and the
Columbia river.
The company has just completed ar
rangements with the owners Of section
"a, township 10, range %, which is
owned by Tacoma people, whereby the
owners give half interest in the Sec
ton to the townsite company. The
company has secured the adjoining
section, SO two square miles have been
secured there for the establishment of
town.
1t is stated that the railway company
will establish division point at that
place and the town will assume consid-
cradle importance. A round house is
to be placed there, as well as car shops.
The townsite is located near the
crossing of the Columbia river, where
the road starts to make its big climb
toward the summit OF the Cascades at
Snoqualmie pass.
In spite OF bad weather work is be-
ing pushed on the road between Lind
and Ellensburg. All contracts call for
the completion Of the work by Septem-
Der /, and it is stated on good author
ity that the rails will be laid on that
part OF the road before the beginning of
the new year, to enable the company
to get the steel to the Columbia for the
big bridge.
The agents for the townsite company
are also busy and have purchased six
townships in distance OF 10 miles
along that route. One OF the towns,
is near Lind, and 400 acres have been
purchased for the site. Another was
secured near Othello, and another OF
considerable importance near Crab
creek. Still another townsite has been
purchased in section l, township 10,
range %, and another just seven miles
west Of that point.
These townsites have been selected
for their advantageous position as well
as keeping in mind the distance be-
tween the points. The townsite peo-
pie are especially busy in that section
and everything points to work on the
railroad line being rushed through Crab
creek to the Columbia.

A FREE ZONE
Will Make New Market for
American Labor
SAYS SECRETARY SHAW
Complete the Manufacture Of Goods
on which There IL an Import
Duty and ReshIP 90
Foreign Markets

1t is a well known fact that on some
lines OF goods American manufacturers
can not compete with foreign manufac-
turers because OF the tariff they are
compelled to pay on the raw material.
At banquet at Concord, New Hamp-
shire, last week Secretary Shaw spoke
before the New Hampshire Board OF
Trade on the subject, A Foreign
Market for American Labor. He de-
veloped an idea OF bonded factories on
a large scale, saying in part:
Merchandise can now be produced
from imported material in bonded fac
tories. 1t seems to be safe and wise to
carry the logic of this provision one
step further and have bonded or free
ports. Suppose instead of thousand
factories, we bond a we'll defined sec
ton of land containing several thousand
acres. Within this bonded territory all
kinds Of factories could be. built and
into this zone all kinds OF raw material
could be entered without the payment
OF duty. This port should Of course
contain no dwelling. l would allow
free coal and every other element OF
manufacture, except labor, to be en-
tered free.
In other words this free port should
be great consumer Of American labor,
the product of which under the most
encouraging conditions should be for
export, and for export only. If it was
removed from the port for the purpose
OF domestic consumption it should pay
the same duty as if imported from
abroad"
