GREAT NORTHERN EXTENSION
DEPENDS ALL ON TACOMA

Tacoma, Nov. 10.-Great Northern
passenger and freight trains can be op-
Grating y Tacoma within thirty days
if the city council and the Northern
Pacific railroad management can solve
the long standing station problem, &C
cording to James ]. Hill. Mr.. Hill, in
his address at the annual banquet Of
the Chamber of Commerce at the Ia
coma hotel, asserted that there have
not been thirty days in the three years
since he last visited Tacoma that Great
Northern connections could not have
been inaugurated had adequate termi-
nal facilities been available.
He discussed at length the Northern
Pacicf depot middle and the hopes and
desires not only of Tacoma people, but
of the management Of the roads con-
cerned. He urged that speedy settle
ment be made, arguing that there could
be no such settlement unless both sides
were to profit. He voiced hope that
within the next ten days he would be
advised that the Northern Pacific depot
question was settled and that the Great
Northern would be warranted in carry
ing out it's Tacoma plans.

KAISER WARNED TO
GUARD HIS TONGUE

Berlin, Nov. 1O.-The German con.
sentative party, representing the most
loyal section Of the German people,
has issued an official declaration con-
corning the interview given to an Off
cial representative Englishman by En-
peror William and published recently
in the London Telegraph.
The declaration expresses serious
concern ''that not infrequenty the ut
terances of his majesty may bring our
foreign policies into a difficult situa-
tion," adding: "In order that the en-
peror's reputation may be preserved
from criticism and discussion, the Ger
man empire and people from compli-
cations and harm, we express the rev.
erential wish that greater reserve be
displayed in future in making such
utterances.
The declaration is formally signed
by baron Manteuffel, president of the
party, and ten of its principal leaders.
Macmillan Harden, editor Of Die
Zukunft, speaking on the political sit
uation to large crowd, called upon
Emperor William to abdicate, saying
that his grandfather thought of doing
SO on less critical occasions, for which
he was responsible.

BIDS FOR TACOMA TUNNEL

Tacoma, Nov. 81. D.. Farrell, of
Seattle, manager of Union Pacific af-
fairs in Washington, has announced
that bids are being taken on the tunnel
which the road contemplates boring
beneath Tacoma in getting into the city
from he south. The contract, he says,
will be let within few days and the
tunnel is expected to be completed in
one year. The road already has a right
of way from here to Portland, and con-
tracts for the work on the construction
of the line from the Sound to the Co.
lumbia river will also be let at once,
so that it will be completed by the
time the tunnel is ready.
In other words, present indications
point to the finishing of the Union Pa
cifc to the Sound region only few
months later than the Milwaukee rail
road The construction of the tunnel
is one of the biggest undertakings the
city has ever seen. It is to be 8,70(
feet long, double tracked, and will cost
$3,OOO,OOO. It eliminates grade cross
ings in the city and enables the road te
get to tidewater with grade Of l pei

from all congressional districts in the
United States, will control the next
house by a majority Of Al. The figures
so far received show the election of PIG

possible that in few instances the
count may change the figures here
given.

and the eminent domain amendment
being defeated by a smaller majority.
Cosgrove ran well up beside the cleo
toral ticket. In fact, Skagit county
gave him more votes than Taft. In the
First and Second congressional dis
tricts, respectively, Humphrey and
Cushman had walkaway. The con-
test was somewhat closer in the Third
district, where Miles G. Poindexter,
Republican, was elected over William
Goodyear, Democrat, but nevertheless
Poindexter got in by a majority that
would be considered large in an East
ern state.
The Hisgen vote in the state was
practically negligible, but Chain, the
Prohiitionist, polled a respectable vote.
The Socialist vote in the state approx
mates $4,000. Only one ''sticker cam
didate," or candidate running on a
non partisan PLATFORM, in the entire
state won. He was on the county ticket
in Skamania county. Three Demo-
cratic county officers we're elected in
Kittitas county, three in Skamania,

Hall, Democrat, defeated Halteman,
Republican, for the legislature in Ferry

ed elected to the senate from the dis
trict including Okanogan, Ferry and

the legislature to join Will G. Graves
and George F. Cotterill, holdover
Democratic state senators.
The total membership of the senate
is AZ and of the house 95.

To Destroy Old Indian Barriers

Vancouver, B. c., Nov, THE Do
minion government has awarded con-
tracts for the destruction of the OBJ
structions to the ascent of salmon in
the Speena and Mas rivers. This
work was decided upon as result of
the removal of the famous barbados
across the Babine river. The Babine
dams were barricades thrown across
by Indians. The fish entered natural
traps and could not possibly escape
into the spawning grounds above.
The creeks became almost barren of
spawn until the barriers were removed.
