RAPID PROGRESS

ROAD, EXCEPT FOR BITTER.
ROOT TUNNEL, WILL BE COM.
PLETED TO PACIFIC COAST BY
JANUARY /, 1909

Seattle, Aug. 15.-President A. ].
Farling of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul announced yesterday,
says the Times. that tracklaying
would be completed on the Pacific
coast extension of his road exclu-
sive Of that through the Bitter Root
tunnel, by January /. The tunnel
will be completed and trains per-
nitted to pass through the big bore
not later than May 1, so that a
through service to Seattle can be
inaugurated on that date.
Though the St. Paul has con-
tract with new japanese line to
inaugurate steamship service out
cf Seattle to the Orient, that road
has not participated in the decision
Of the Western lines to abandon the
joint tariffs with ocean companies.
The road, Of course, had no Joint
rates to abandon, but the question
Of whether or not the st. Paul will
conform to the interstate commerce
commissions ruling next year and
publish the proportion Of through
tariffs paid for domestic hauls. has
not been considered by the St. Paul's
general trafiic oflces. President
Earling said this morning:
practically year must elapse
before our rail and steamship serv-
ice to the Orient will be inaugura-
ted, and We have not taken up the
question of publishing tariffs . Tar
in advance. Before the completion
Of the ST. Paul to Seattle the matter
will he threshed out, but there will
be plenty Of opportunity in the
to procure a rehearing on
the commissions order or to change
traffic conditions entirely OF the
400 miles of track necessary to
build on our Pacific coast extension.
1000 miles of rails have been laid

Meter USERS
PAY PENALTY
UNDER SPOKANE SYSTEM THERE
IS GREAT WASTE IN DIS
TRICTS NOT HAVING METERS
INSTALLED.

Spokane, Aug. 13.---The city OF
Spokane received trine less than
6 cents per 1000 gallons for water
pumped at the upriver station dur
ing the year 1907.
The people of Spokane who used
meters paid Is canta per 1000 gal
Ions for the water.
The total amount received for wa
ter in 1897 was $291.775.7S. The
net amount Of water pumped was
5.312.S27,49S gallons. Accordingly
less than 6 cents per 1000 gallons
was received by the city. Yet those
who have the meters pay Is cents
per 1000 gallons for their water.
The board Of public works has de.
cided to forward to the city council
recommendation favoring the in.
stallation Of meters within the hre
limits. The recommendation doe.
not provide for any reduction In the
rste. merely cutting the minimum
rate from - to 50 cents per month
The board has also recommended
the elimination of automatic sprink.
lers. except In parks and public
school grounds. When seen thia
morning the water commissioner
would make no statement as to his
position with regard to any other
possible change in the meter rate.
Acting Mayor Phillips expressed
the opinion today that the instal'a-
tion of meters within the fire limits
would relieve the situation.
Right here in the center OF the
city is where the water is being
wasted" he said. "The saloons.
butcher shops and other kinds Of
business houses use much more wa
ter than the residences. I think
that the meter rate now in effect
should be kept at It's present size.
II also believe that It is neces-
sary to cut out the automatic sprin-
k'ers for time. However, people
ought to be allowed TO use these in
case they have meters"

Interesting information has
reached here from New York to
the effect that fight to- be
made against Bryan is being en-
glneered by w. j. Murphy,
Chairman Of the New York Dem
ocratic Committee, and Charles
f. Murphy, the Tammany brave.
1t is declared that their purpose
is TO open negotiations with q
view to inducing number of
New York bankers and capital
lists to serve as delegates TO Den
yer. 1t is their purpose to have
the New York and Pennsylvania
delegations to go unrestricted
and they hope to gather around
this nucleus and attract the dele
gates from Minnesota, who will
be for johnson, those from Della
ware who will be for Gray and
those from Maryland whom they
also hope TO capture for Gray.
Thus with a group of 226 anti
Bryan delegates, they hope to
secure con .rol of the convention.
The Democratic leaders in Wash
ington, however, say that the
scheme will not work, for while
they may be able to prevent the
nomination of Mr. Bryan on the
first ballot, they never will be
able to transfer these delegations
to any other candidate.
