LETTER FROM MR.. L. c. PAY
SEUR.
The Well Known Lancastrian Who
is Touring the West and
Northwest Writes interest
ingly Of What He has
Thus Far Seen.

| IS ~SiNSo I'LL &C SOplCo VI you hSiS,
and | was real sick to see you,
and had | only got one copy, |
would not have been satisfied,
but to get three at one dose, of
course | am we'll. | told you |
would write you. | have been
so on the go | have not had an
opportunity until now. We (wife
and self spent a week in the
pretty old ante-bellum city of
Columbus, Miss, and it is truly
a pretty place; scores of fine old
residences and lots of wealth.
You know the Yankees did not
ravage this section so bad as
other parts of the south. Some of
the old-time places still have the
negro quarter of rows of brick
houses and fine yards. In fact,
a few of the negroes still live
with my white folks. | would
call this quiet place of pretty
homes, fine churches and good
people. We stopped in Memphis,
and saw the finishing up of the
reunion, and viewed the grand
old Mississippi river with her
bosom covered with the old-style
side wheeler and stern wheel
steam boats, and it's a grand sight
to behold. We then stopped at
Little Rock, Ark; found it MAX
ing rapid strides and putting on
big city airs, which they are en-
titled to, as they have quite a
pretty place. We came to the
northwestern part of the State,
which is busy building towns and
railroads. | visited the diamond
mines yesterday, which are now
creating such a stir. They are
located in Pike county. 2 miles
from Murfreyboro, which is the
county seat, and just now got
it's first railroad. The sdiamond
mine seems to be an old volcano
of the past ages, and is cone
shaped, over four hundred feet
high and covers probably Is acres
atbase. The mines or rather the
machinery is washing the dirt
which they scrape up on the sur
face. There are several places
where they are washing and
screening dirt, both by steam and
water power. | send you some
of their literature today. The
diamonds seem to be here and |
saw several hands full from the
size of pin head TO nearly as
large as a grain OF corn. Of
course they had not been in the
hands of a lapriday nor polished
and they seem to be all colors.
The manager is from South Afri-
ca, and seems to know his bust
ness. This section seems to be |
the home of the beautiful Elberta
peach, which grows to perfec-
tion on the red lands which seem |
give it a beautiful red color, and |
they have orchards of thousands
of trees. Then there is a black |
land on which they grow alfalfa,
which rents for ten dollars per
acre, and you can See miles of it
around here and in Oklahoma.
1t would make w. J. c. and T. |

these stretches of land.

CLAIM INTEREST
RATES TOO HIGH
0. b. FULLER GIVES REASONS
WHY MORE HOUSES AND BUSI.
NESS BLOCKS ARE NOT ERECT.
ED IN THE CITY.

I'll tell you why there are not
more houses and business blocks
erected in this city, said o. B. Full
Ter today I'm Seattle, Tacoma and
in fact most every place, the build
ings are put up mostly on credit.
Money for such work is furnished by
the capitalists and it is not on 8 to
10 per cent money either. The trou-
BILE with us fellows here who own
the lots is that money rates are too
high here. A man cannot build two
and three story buildings in this city
on high rates of interest and make
it a paying investment. l do not
know why it is, but it is possible
to sell our school and municipal
bonds for 4 to 5 per cent, yet when
we want to borrow a little money on
which to erect buildings that will
improve the city we have to pay 8
to 10 per cent. Until we can get
the rates of interest down to rea-
sonable figure there is no need of
thinking that we are going to have
any great amount of business blocks
built here. I think that this Is a
good chance for missionary work by
the Commercial club. We need more
houses and more business buildings.
We want to be put in touch with men
who have 4 5 and per cent money
to loan"
Mr. Fuls4 stated that his firm, the
Wenatchee Realty company, owns
4571a feetfrcntage on that portion
of Wenatchee avenue which it is pro-
posed to pave and otherwise i'm
prove. This is about one-ninth OF
the total frontage and will cost some
money but Mr.. Fuller says that there
will be no kick from his firm on
legitimate street improvement, be-
lieving that it is money we'll ex-
pended.

The report was current on the
street yesterday that Governor Hay
had threatened to veto the Columbia
river bridge bill, yet the following
message was received this morning
from Arthur Gum, at Olympia:
Governor signed bridge bill this
morning. He presented the pen with
which it was signed to Commercial
club"
This dispels all doubts on the mat
ter as soon as the legal formalities
can be complied with the title will
pass to the state.
A great deal of anxiety was mani
tested here yesterday regarding the
probable action of Mr.. Hay. 1t has
been common knowledge that Act
ing Governor Hay, Speaker Meigs
and President of the Senate Ruth
were opposed to the bridge bill. Mr..
Hay stated, however, that he would
not openly fight it and would sign the
bill if it passed. Word came yester-
day that he had threatened to veto
it and Mr.. Hay was not a very popu-

DISCUSS MINERS
WAGE SCALE
(By Associated Press. J

Philadelphia, March 11.-Repre-
sentatives of the United Mine Work
ers of America and presidents of the
coal carrying roads met today in the
offices of President Baer of the Read
ing company, to consider negotiations
for a new agreement to go into effect
at the expiration of the present work
ing agreement March 1. Good feel
ing prevails on both sides and pros
poets are bright for reaching an
agreemnt without resorting to radi-
cal actions.
The conference adjourned at noon,
after the miners submitted their de-
mands and after the subcommittee
on each side were appointed to take
up negotiations. The subcommittee
met later in the day.
The Reading company had ar
ranged a luncheon for the mine
workers, who numbered about IS,
but most of them refused to accept
the hospitality and said, Il don't
want their grub, can buy my own. "

CAUGHT MAN WHO
ROBBED BOAT
FRANK RYAN WHO ROBBED
STEAMER OKANOGAN LAST
OCTOBER CAPTURED YESTER-
DAY IN CITY OF SPOKANE.

Last fall Frank Ryan, who at that
time was night Waterman of the
steamer Okanogan, decamped with
$50 of the company's money. On the
night of October Is he broke open
the money till on the boat and from
that day until yesterday the officers
have had no clue of the missing man.
Evidently he had been arrested at
Spokane on some charge and when
put in the sweating room he had con-
fessed to the robbery here. The 10
cal officers were communicated with
and Chief Inscho wired to hold the
man.
Ryan is but young man. He
had been employed with the boat
company but a short time when he
decamped. 1t is expected that he
will be brought back here tonight
and will be charged with larceny.

Los Angeles, March 1.-THE po-
lice arrested two men known as J. D.
Ward and Bud Clayborn, AMI will
charge them with working fake
horse race on w. G. Mitchell, cat
tie raiser of Sprague, Washington,
by which Mitchell is said to be out
of pocket $4,000. The alleged fake
took place yesterday on a vacant lot
between Arcadia and Monrovia, and
so cleverly was it worked that Nit

was gone that he was a victim Of
chance rather than bunco game,
and he refused to give information
until after he himself was arrested
and sweated. The money was not
recovered but the police say they
have men who have it under surveil-
lance.

FORM METHODIST
BROTHERHOOD
THIRTY-FIVE MEN TOOK INITI-
.ATORY STEPS LAST NIGHT AT
METHODIST CHURCH-EXPECT
100 MEMBERS.

Last evening 35 men met in the
parlors of the Methodist church to
take preliminary steps in the forma-
ton of a Methodist brotherhood in
connection with that denomination.
The meeting was called to order by
Fred Kemp, who acted as temporary
chairman and explained the purpose
and aims of an organization of this
character. He was delegated by
Bishop Hughes who presided over the
conference recently held here to per-
form this duty. Before proceeding
to business a light luncheon was
served, which was prepared by the
men of the church.
Following the remarks of the pre-
siding officer, a temporary organiza-
ton was formed, |. r. Brubaker be-
Ing SlCCtCu oCSiOIoi vi AAoSAc1 ~
committee, consisting of Guilford
Mari, L. V. Wells and I. w. Reeves,
was appointed by the chair to formu-
late plans for the organization and
to report to the next meeting the
names of a permanent set of officers.
The concensus of opinion of those
present was that an organization of
this character is needed in the
church, and brief addresses were
made by the pastor, Rev. H. l..
Beightol, and others.
Membership in the organization
will not be confined to members of
the church, but will include all men
of the congregation. 1t is thought
that the brotherhood will start out
with membership of over 100 men.
The next meeting will convene on
the call of the pastor of the church.
This makes the second organiza-
ton of this kind to be launched this
week, the men of the Presbyterian
church having taken preliminary
steps to the formation Of one last
Monday evening.
