Commander Newton Ferree, of the

is to attain notorietv," declared
Commander Ferrees. ITO build a
monument to murderer will have
a tendency to destroy the good feel

believe al true soldiers of Dixie
will resent such proposal.
"Wirz was a cruel and heartless

western and Union Pacific stocks on
the New York exchange during the
past IL months, coupled with the
opposition and hindrances to the
construction of the North Coast on
the part of the HILL interests when
ever and wherever possible,
Not Canadian Pacific Enterprise.
There have been many guesses
that the North Coast is a Canadian
Pacific enterprise. These are based
on a statement made by Sir William
Van Horne some time ago, following
tilt with Hill, who threatened to
parallel the line of the Canadian
Pacific, that for every mile of road
built by the Hill interests in Canada
the Canadian Pacific would build
two miles in the United States.
That the North Coast is a Cana
dian Pacific interest is now discred-
tied, however, as announcement was
made from Montreal during the
week that official notice of the in
tention of the Canadian Pacific to
build line of road from Vancou-
yer to Seattle and Tacoma would be
given out shortly. The intention OF
the Canadian Pacific to build south
from Vancouver is believed to be
positive indication that the Cana
dian Pacific does not intend to con-
struct another transcontinentaI line,
but to bid for business by the road
to be butt south from the Canadian
border into Washington. IF such Is
the case, the North Coast road has
no connection with Canadian Pacific
interests, according to the same re-
liable source of information, and the
field of speculation as to it's owner
ship narrows down to the North
western and Union Pacific interests.
Although matters connected with
the orth Coast have been constantly
conducted with the greatest secrecy.

out inadvertently in North Yakima

SION - i-la @s4ntN

What Is believed to indicate a vic.
tory of the Hartman interests in in
yading that portion of the Pacific
Northwest dominated supremacy by
James J. Hill with his Northern Pa
ciflc and Great Northern railroads
Is the unofficial report given out last
week that arrangements have been
completed whereby the Union Pacific
interests will operate both freight
and passenger trains between Wal
la Walla and Portland across Wash
tngton Immediately on the compile
tion Of the new North Coast rail-
way. Coincident with this report
comes a statement from a dependa-
Bile source close to the inner work
ings OF railroading in the Northwest
that the North Coast road, appar-
emily being built by the Corbin in
terests OF Spokane, is In reality
backed Jointly by the Chicago and
Northwestern and Union Pacific
companies.
1t has ben known for several years
that b. III. Hartman has been plan
ming an invasion of central Wash
ington, the railroad business of
which is at present dominated by
the Hill interests. Ever since the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
railroad made announcements OF
the construction OF transcontinen-
tai line from st. Paul and Minneap-
oils to the coast 1t has been believed
the Chicago and Northwestern would
also build new transcontinental
line. This belief has been strength
ened by the mysterious operations
throughout the state and in the vi
cinity of Tacoma of large crew of
surveyors for several months.
The Northwestern and Milwaukee
have always maintained an intense
rivalry. and 1t has always been the
policy of both roads to rompete in

PROTEST AGAINST
WIRz MONUMENT
UNION SOLDIERS OPPOSE EREC-
TON OF MONUMENT TO WIRZ
ON ACCOUNT OF TREATMENT
AT ANDERSoNvILLE PRISON

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. g.
At private meeting of the Union
veterans scheduled for this evening
1t is expected that means will be
discussed to prevent the erection of
a monument by southern women to
the memory of Major Henry Wirz.
the confederate officer who was in
charge of Andersonyil,e prison dur
ing the civil war.
Major Wirx was charged with in
human treatment of Union soldiers
taken as prisoners during the war.
and was tried, convicted and hang
ed The monument project has
aroused the bitterest feeling among
Grand Army men throughout the
country and 1t is likely that the
meeting of protest here viii be fol-
lowed by similar ones throughout
the east and north. Conservative
veterand of both sides fear that the
matter will result in revival of the
/ hatred between the peoples of the
north andthe south.
The fund for the monument was
raised by women of the Daughters
of the Confederacy. 1t is proposed
to unveil the memorial on Jefferson
/ Davis birthday.
The inscriptions for the monu-
ment have been supplied by Mrs
Gourdin Young, historian of the
Georgia division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, and
