Mr.. Geo. B. Lake,

MY. dear Brother:-
I suppose

law, the wife of Brother Johp
Lake. I received a cable from him,

and we enjoyed our stay with

HURST.

Seattle, August "a near rob-
berry of $1,000,000 and a long-drawn
out one of $4,000 are items in the
criminal history of Seattle that are
attracting much attention just now.
1t was only by chance that robbers
were disturbed at the work of drill
ing up at great rate, and also many
deposit vaults. Had they succeeded
they could have gotten away with a
supply of money and jewels that
would easily have totalled the big
figure named AS it was they made
enough to pay them for their trouble.
Seattle papers have said little of the
value of the contents of boxes and
trunks that the robbers carried off.
Reports have been given out that a
few hundred dollars will cover the
loss but the facts of the case are
that the robbers got away with many
thousands of dollars worth of valu-
ables.

Map of the State Being Transformed
By the TranScOntinental and In
ira State Lines Now Under Actual
Construction. The Milwaukee,
the NOrlh Coast and the Spokane,
Portland and Seattle Railway
Lines Now Building.-Their Effect
Upon Wenatchee.

The state of Washington is. under
going a change and development
which during the present and past
year will eclipse any two years in her
history. The building of three trans
continental and Interstate lines of
railroad is one of the greatest factors
in her development. The line rum
ming from Spokane to Portland and
Seattle is now practically completed.
The North Coast line will provide 20
miles of track for this state. One
million dollars have just been spent
for terminals at Spokane. The Mil
waukee line is now running trains
on several sections of the road in
this state.
The Technical World Magazine
publishes an extensive article in its
August number, excerpts of which are
here reproduced. 1t says:
After the Northern Pacific followed
James j. Hill with the Great North
ern. He completed his transconti-
mental line without the aid of an inn
mense land subsidy. His. tracks were
laid into Seattle in 1892 The Ca
madam Pacific crossed the continent
still farther to the northward. The
opening of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company's lines had been
about the same as was the Northern
Pacific.
Then followed a period of inactiv-
'ity in railway building. All the
while. thousands upon thousands of
people were drawn from the Eastern
states and Europe to make their
homes in the New West. Years pass
ed, and the Northwest found its
transportation facilities utterly in
adequate for hauling it's products or
handling it's commerce. 1t set up a
cry for more railways. That cry is
being answered, for miles of railway
are now outlined or under construc-
ton in Washington than in any other
state in the union. The total reaches
above $500 miles for the one state
alone, and Oregon, Idaho, Montana
and all the far western common

In retaliation for the Great North

Canadian Pacific is preparing to build
a line across Washington from Spo-

The North Coast.
The North Coast railway, til erig-
ma of the western railroad situation,
is another line, with branches and
trunk amounting to 644 miles, build

cretive have been the construction Of
fcials of the North Coast that the
public does not know whether this is
the Canadian Pacific in disguise or
the Chicago & Northwestern, which
already extends far toward the
Northwest, and which for the last
two or three years has shown signs
of following the Milwaukee's lead.
Other new lines of lesser prominence
are projected or under way, notably
the North Yakima & Valley, partly
built from North Yakima in the CEN
trail part of the state, to Tacoma.

Mr.. Stevens was in attendance at
the knights of Pythias convention in
Delta Wednesday, meeting many of
the Grand Junction delegates. He
was not feeling very well on that day
owing to the fact that few days
ago he had accidentally received a
blow on the head. Still, It was not
what was considered a serious blow
and Mr.. St suffered but little
pain from t and contemplated no
serious results.
Wednesday afternoon at the con-
vention, in which body he was a del
egate, Mr.. Stevens remarked that he
was not well and would start for his
home. He secured his grip at the
Singleton house and started for the
railway station, which is some dis
tance from the business center of
Delta. That is the last that any of
Mr.. Stevens friends have seen or
heard of him, so far as can be ascer-
tained this afternoon.
Mr.. Stevens expected to reach his
home at HotchlIiss Wednesday night.
but as far as can be learned TODAY
he did not reach Hotchkiss Wedncs-
day night. His family decided that
he had concluded to remain over in
Delta until yesterday. Thursday
passed without Mr. Stevens arriving
home, and last night his family be-
came greatly alarmed and telephone
communication was had with Delta
and other neighboring points, but no
thing whatever could be learned of
Mr.. Stevens whereabouts He had
completely dropped out of sight.
1t was thought that perhaps he
got on board the Grand Junction spe-
cial train when it left for this city.
at l O'Clock Wednesday night, but
none of the Grand Junction people
who were on board that train remem-
ber seeing Mr.. Stevens. He is not in
this city. He has not been here
within the past few days.
Mr. Stevens has not been seen in
Delta since he took his grip at the
hotel on Wednesday afternoon and
started for the depot. If he boarded
any train at Delta on Wednesday af-
ternoon or night, no one, so far as
