GREAT NORTHERN FREIGHT
TRAINS RUN TO TACOMA

Tacoma, Dec. 2-According to
Louis w. Hill Great Northern freight
traffic to Tacoma will formally COM
mence Monday morning. This is the
first time a denfite date has been set
by Great Northern officials for the
opening of traffic of their system into
this city, and the news has caused joy
among Tacoma business men.
For the present the service will be
only a freight business, three freights
running into and out of Tacoma daily.
But the passenger service is assured
Mr.. Hill has also announced that con-
tracts for the building of Great North
ern freight terminals here would be let
this week andc obstruction rushed.
Up to the present Tacoma business
men shipping over the Great Northern
have had to pay the differential from
Tacoma to Seattle. The advent of the
freight service into the city wipes out
this differential. giving Tacoma the
same freight rate to and from all
points reached by the Great Northern
and it's connections as Seattle enjoys.
Mr.. Hill aslo stated he would at once
extend the present through freight bus
mess now obtaining from Vancouver,
B. c., to Seattle, south to Portland.

LOGGED LAND INQUIRY
DESIRED BY DEPARTMENT

Washington, Dec. 12.-The agricul-
tural department will ask congress for
a direct appropriation for continuing
investigation into economical methods
of clearing logged-off lands in the
West. This is new project with the
department, and was. first brought to
it's attention year ago by the Everett
Chamber of Commerce, through Sena-
tor Piles.
IF the appropriation is made the de-
partment will place Harry Thompson,
of South Park, King county, at the
head Of the work, which will extend
from the Coast to the Great Lakes, and
allow him two assistants, one for the
Coast and one for the territory farther
east.
Mr.. Thompson recently made an in
vestigation in King and Snohoish coun-
ties, report on which has just reached
Washington, but will not be made pub
lie for several weeks. Mr. Thompson
also represented the government at the
first logged of land convention, which
was held at Everett last summer.

SENTENCE DELAYED PENDING
ARGUMENT OF MOTIONS

San Fancrisco, Dec. 12.-Abraham
Ruef, convicted last Thursday of offer
ing bride, was today granted a delay
of one week before receiving sentence,
the case being continued until next
Saturday, December 10, with the as
sent of the district attorneys Office.
Thomas B. Dozier, of the defense,
based his motion for weeks respite
on the ground that sufficient time had
not been given the defense to prepare
the motions and arguments in arrest
of Judgment and for new trial. The
inability of Henry Ach, Ruef's chief
counsel, to appear in court, was as
signed as futher reason.
An order of postponement was made
in two other cases against Ruef before
the brief session adjourned.

OIL EARNINGS AIRED
Testimony Shows Profits of Standard
Reached lis Per Cent.

New York, Dec. 8.-Figures show
ingsome of the profits of the Standard
Oil Company yesterday became part of
the court record in the federal slut to
dissolve the Standard, when John D.
Archbold resumed the stand for brief
examination, and Henry Tilford, presi-
dent of the Standard Oil Company of
California, testified at some length as
a witness for the defense
The government inquisitor on fig
ures submitted showed that the Cont
mental Company, Standard subsidiary
in the Middle West, made profits of ID
per cent on it's capitalization of $500,
900, and that the Standard Oil Com
pany Of Indiana, on capitalization of
$1,OOO,OOO, earned about $55, 900, 600
between 1899 and 1906. Counsel for
the company declared the actual assets
OF the company were greater than the
capitalization, as the companies had
turned back large sums from earnings
Counsel for the government sought
to prove by Mr.. Tilford that in Cali
fornia and other Western states the
Standard had made contracts with COM
petitors whereby it obtained all the oil
supply.
Referring to oil trade rate cutting in
Colorado and elsewhere, Mr.. Tilford
said the Standard never cut prizes to
undersell it's competitors, but lowered
rates to meet the reductions of it's RI
walls.

URGE RICH MEN TO
SELL FARMS ON EASY TERMS

Washington, Dec. 12.-The recent
opening of some government land to
settlers developed the fact that there
are thousands of city jewellers looking
for an opportunity to take up govern
ment land-or to buy, if they can get
land within their reach-because they
wish to forsake the cities and become
producers AS there is not government
land enough for all, but as there are
millions Of acres of fine agricultural
land for sale, it is suggested that an
enterprise to place these lands within
the reach Of the class mentioned would
form the basis of practical working
philanthropy.
It would build up very desirable
farming class in some regions now but
sparsely settled, while it would also
relieve the congestion Of great cities.
It is urged that if syndicate Of rich
men of benevolent tendencies would
secure and place on sale at terms which
would enable worthy young men of
the unemployed class to buy small
tracts en- time basis and go to farm
ing Immediately, they would be doing
an excellent thing for the country at
large, as we'll as assisting individuals.
/ Many who have natural bent for
agriculture have not the capital to pur-
chase a farm, stock it and support
themselves and families during the non
producing time, and never will have
such capital until too late in life for
them to begin, unless some such sys-
tenn is adopted. Many such young men
have something saved, and if they were
offered farms on easy installments,
would bend every energy toward pay
ing up the balance. Many good tracts
of land are for sale at prices far below
their actual agricultural value, but
they are not available to many who
would prize them on account of the
large cash payment that is required.

NEW FREIGHT RATE CAUSES
GREAT STORM OF PROTEST

Chicago, Dec. 14.-The Tribune
prints the following news article on
the transcontinental freight rate ques-
ton as regards the Pacific Coast:
The advance in freight rates includ-
ed in the new transcontinental tariffs,
which were filed with the interstate
commerce commission about two weeks
ago and which take effect under the re-
quired thirty days notice on January 1,
the shippers. This may result in an
attempt to prevent the roads from
charging the new rates by injunction
proceedings.
During the course of the agitation
against the proposed increases Of the
Eastern roads in official classification
territory little attention has been paid
to Pacific coast rates. Now that the
Eastern roads have agreed to make no
general advances for two months and
many believe that they have decided
to back down, shippers are comforting
to see what may be done with the
transcontinental rate question.
The traffic committee of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association, which took
the lead in the fight on the Eastern
rates, has decided to send circular
letter to members asking them how
much the increases will affect their bus
mess and what is to be done about it.
1t has been stated that the brunt of
the fight against the new rates would
probably be undertaken by the Califor-
mia shippers, who are affected by the
increases both eastbound and west
bound, because most of the jobbers re-
ceiving freight from Chicago have been
in the habit of paying the freight
themselves
A formal protest to the interstate
commerce commission is now in prep
aration by the California Traffic Asso-
citation, and this body may also decide
to ask for an injunction. In such an
event the shippers in the East may rest
on the same case or file intervening Pc
titions as they did in the Texas rate
case

GALVESTON NEW PORT OF
HOMESEEKINC IMMIGRANTS

Galveston, Texas, Dec. 12-Rapidly
the excess Of immigration to the Unit
ed States is being diverted from New
York to this port, which is coming to
be recognized as the natural gateway
to the West and Southwest for the
thousands who intend to establish their
homes in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska and California
This change in immigration condi-
tions has been welcomed gladly by
the United States government and as
sisted by the establishment recently of
bureau of information which keeps
closely in touch with the labor needs
and general Industrial conditions of
the Western country.
Considerable educational work has
been done abroad in order to divert
part of the tide of immigration from
New York-which in the mind of the
average immigrant means the United
States-to Galveston, Of which he
knows nothing at all. Of late the effort
has met with marked response, and
the North German liners have been
bringing thousands of homeseekers to
the Gulf city. A commodious and up
to date immigration station is shortly
to be erected for the furtherance of the
duties of the immigration officers, a
change that will be welcomed by all,
as the incoming thousands are now ex-
amined in warehouse. A $40, 600
appropriation has been secured for the
station and the contract let for build
ing it. The city of Galveston has do
mated site on Pelican Spit for the
station and appropriated $4,000 to
supply it with water. The plans call
for a building capable of handling
5, 900 persons day, with sleeping &C
commodations for 900.
Galveston of today is far diffeent
from Galveston that was wrecked by
flood. The great sea wall, the plant
ing of trees and shrubs, among which
are palm, banana, fig and orange trees,
combine to make this one of the very
desiable localities of the United States
for homeseekers.
