RAILWAY MOVES ON
ACCOUNT OF SALOONS

Tacoma, May because ( two sa.
looms located at it's American lake ter
minue and could not be induced to
move, the Pacific Traction company
has decided to move it's terminus half
mile down the lake. Street railway
men say it is probably the first time
on record that saloons have driven a
railroad out of their district.
The tracks leading down to the lake
are being torn up, and the company's
buildings taken down. At the new
terminus, the company has purchased
sufficient tract of land to be able
to exclude the saloons. The moving
TO the railroad practically ruins the
business of both the saloons.
The company is trying to build up
a country summer resort, and the sa-
loon trade had the effect Of driving
to other localities many people.

FOR Big BOND ISSUE
UNION PACIFIC STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE ASKED TO AUTHOR
IzE SOC, ooo, 900.
Fifty Millions Of This Great Amount
to Be Reserved for Issue Under
Guaranteed Provisions for Construc-
ton and Acquisition Of New Lines
and Additions.

New York, May 5..E. H. Hartman
announced yesterday that the stock
holders of the Union Pacific Railroad
company will be asked at their meet
ing at Salt Lake today to authorize
an issue of 500, 100000 of bonds. He
said that $50.00O,0OO of this amount
will be reserved for issue under strict
ly guaranteed provisions for construc-
ton and acquisition of new lines and
additions.
Mr.. Harrimans statement follows:
THE financial requirements of the
Union Pacific have been much exag-
gerated. The maximum amount need
ed at this time to put the company in
funds does not exceed $25,000,000, but
we want to resume development and
put our people to work. In no event,
however, will over $5O,OOO,OOO of the
bonds be issued against the properties
now owned. Instead of mOrtgaging
new lines as constructed or acquired
and thus having separate mortgages
on different divisions, it is deemed best
to provide in one mortgage for future
extensions and new lines. The meet
ing is a preliminary step to put the
company in a position to take advant-
age of the favorable opportunities to
raise additional capital to the best ad-
vantage"

hour law for female labor and the
eight-hour law for underground min
ers. Mr.. Cotterill says that all these

INITIATIVE GENIUS MAY

Ottawa, Ont, May 4.-The marvellous
Initiative faculty of the Japanese is
likely to get that people into trouble
very soon, for there are at the present
time big factories in Japan which are
p1ratlng the trade marks of British
manufacturers and turning out imita-
ton goods of British makers in which
Rogers cutlery and Scotch whisky are
the principal sufferers.
These limitations are so clever that
detection is practically impossible un-
til the article is tested by use. The
limitations embrace trade marks and
methods of packing 1t is to be de-
manded that this business must be
stopped, even if the stopping of it in

between Great Britain and Japan. The
matter has been brought under the no
tice of the British government by Sir
Claude Macdonald, the British ambas-
sador to China, but SO far there has
been no redress. The field of imitation
is wide one. A score of specific ar

Chicago, May 2.-Organized labor
will make it's influence felt in the COM

that will make statesmen "sit up and
take notice. according to Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, who passed
through the city Thursday night on
his way to Wisconsin.
The determined stand which the la
Dor unions took against wage reduc-
tons has saved the country from an
industrial stagnation, in the opinion of

read 1t hastily, and It confirmed his sus-
picions. 1t was from a lawyer Mr.. Con-
rad had asked to make inquiries respect
ing the Great Metropolitan Mining Conn
pany, and was as follows,
william Conrad, ESQ.,:
"Dear Sri have, at your request,
taken pains to inform myself Of the pres
ent management and condition of the
Great Metropolitan Mining Company.
The task has been less difficult than !
anticipated, since the failure of the cor,-
pany has just been made public. The
management has been in the hands of dis
honest and INSCRIPTIONS men, and 1t Is
doubtful whether the stockholders will be
able to recover anything.
ANDREW HOLINESS"
Walter folded up the letter, and put It
into his pocket. He felt that this letter
had cost his father his life, and in the
midst Of his grief he had very bitter
thoughts about the INSCRIPTIONS man who
had led his father to ruin. Had it been
merely the loss of property, he could
have forgiven him, but he had been de-
prived of the kindest and most indulgent
of fathers.
II should like to see my father" he
said.
An hour later he came out Of the death
chamber, pale but composed. He seemed
older and more thoughtful than when he
entered. A great and sudden sorrow often
has this effect upon the young.

ments been made about the funeral?"

Jacob Drummond kept dry goods

the reputation of being a very mean man.
He carried his meanness not only into
his business, but into his household, and
there was not a poor mechanic in Sta
pleton who did not live better than Mr..

place.

A Dummy Soldiers Task.

Walking day and night, without a sin,
gle stop, dummy soldier is taking 1OO.
900 steps every "a hours in an en-,
durance test to determine the life of sew
eral new cartridge belts which are under
consideration by the board of ordnance
and fertilization of the army. The dunn
my's tour of duty is at the Rock Island
OIl.) arsenal. The dummy is the size Of
an average soldier. By a special mechan-
ical apparatus it is made to walk, with
the guidance of a wire cable, as though
on sentinel duty, in a circle in one, end
of a hall. The mechanism is such as
to give the dummy the same motion as
would be experienced by the average
soldier in walking. About the waist Of
the figure are strapped the various belts
one at time, which are being tested,
Each is filled with the regulation mum,
Der of rounds Of service cartridges, the
principal test being made with the SHARP
nose bullet to determine how long it will
take for these to wear through the pock,
cts of the belts.
