Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York. July 2.-(Special. 1.-THE gov
eminent report at noon giving the esti-
mate of TAG was a bolt from the blue"
and made a wild demand at an imme-
date advance of some 30 points on a
very irregular scale of prices As the
records show, a further Improvement fol-
lowed. While the bulls are as confident
as ever now that the 12-cent mark has
been reached and passed that present fig
ures will look as cheap as those a cent
lower, the trade was wholly unprepared
for the estimate and is stunned by It.
There is little more to say. the weather
map looks wet still, and the coming holt
days no doubt stimulated buying to even
up cautious traders. This estimate COM
pares with ST. last month and S1.2 last
year. 1t is omnously low, and appar-
emily substantiates the contention of the
bull interests.
Liverpools attitude toward the amazing
figures is awaited with interest. The
feeling here was very firm after the
close.

Pretty Blue-Eyed Baby
Is Dropped in the Snow
Behind Overland Train
(By United Press Leased Wire J

NDJ ChAt~o l. YES A<Sootu w ltOe y
EVERETT, Dec. An the
Scenic hotel at Scenic, a little
station on the Great Northern in
the Cascade mountains, there is
today pretty blue-eyed baby boy
which may be adopted by the
great Hill railroad system.
The newly born mite, which
weighed about 6 1-2 pounds, was
found lying in the snow between
the ends of the ties by a track
walker early yesterday morning,
where it had been dropped from
the Oriental limited eastbound.
The mother of the little one,
Mrs. Georgette Roth, of George
town, is in precarious condition
at the hospital at Leavenworth
at which place she was removed
from the train by employees of the
road who searched the coaches
following the news of the finding
of the child.
Pending the receipt of word
from the mother of the little one,
1t will be kept in the care of the
women at the Scenic hotel and if
Mrs. Roth does not take the baby
1T will be adopted by one of the
Great Northern railway men.
DR.. Greason stated last night
that the baby, despite it's abandon
ment in the snow, is in a flourish
Ing condition. He pronounced
the child normal in eyery respect

NOW EXPECT
ORDER To
STRIKE
LOCAL RAIIROADERS EXPECT
TO BE CALLED OUT IN SYM
PATHY WITH THE SWITCH
MEN - SIXTEEN STRIKE
BREAKERS AT WORK.

The expressed belief of train
men that they will be ordered out
Monday, the employment of the
Northern Pacific of 16 strike
breakers at an increase in wages
of 2 cents per hour, the refusal
of the railroads to handle freight
in less than carload lots, and the
determination of the striking
switchmeen to stand by their
demands, is the strike situation
in Tacoma today.
The local branch of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen is
expecting orders from the head
quarters in st. Paul to strike
Monday morning if there is no
settlement of the switchmen's
strike today. This organization
includes brakemen and conduc-
tors who were formerly brake
men.
Resolutions to the effect that
the trainmen will not handle
trains made up by non-union
men were passed Friday by the
local branch. A sympathetic
strike is practically certain, and
complete tie-up of all freight
service in the Northwest will be
the inevitable result.
Division Superintendent Albee
of the Northern Pacific reports
that 16 non-union bmen have
been hired. They are given an
increase over the old switchmen's
wage, but only of one-third the
amount asked by the strikers. Or
ficials of the n. p. assert that
they have nine engines operating
in the Tacoma yards.
Fruit products and fuel are be-
ing accepted for shipment, but no
other goods in less than carload
lots Five trainloads of freight
were moved Friday, and better
results are expected today by tie
Northern Pacific.
| The striking men are under or
ders to keep away from the
freight yards, also from saloons.
This morning a crowd of them
were gathered at the Alaska Pa
cific warehouses, and shouts of
"S"ab, scab" were frequently
heard as the non-union SWITCH
men were at work.

Sad Christmas
For the Sharks
TIMES CRUSADE sPOIIS RICH HARVEST WHICH
EXPECTED DURING H-GFABBElsS IL
ING TO COMPROMISE NOW.

Tacoma loan sharks are becom-
ing uneasy.
They are willing to give liberal
discounts to all victims who Will
come in and settle and their
threats to bring suit are not 80
bold as formerly. Borrowers are
taking the advice of the Times
and are refusing to pay more than
the legal rate of interest and IN
most cases the sharks are glad to
compromise.
Sad Christmas for Sharks.
This will be a sad Christmas for
Tacoma loan sharks and warrant
''shavers." Usually during the
few weeks proceeding the holidays
when everybody is spending plenty
of money the sharks reap the big
gest harvest of the year. 1t Is
during the holiday rush and ex-
citement that the "Shylocks" ar:
able to lure many victims into
their web who at any other time
of the year would be too prudent
to take the bait.
Praise the Times.
In Tacoma, however, the warn
ing sounded by the Times has al
ready become effective and the
business of the sharks is practi-
cally at standstill. The sharks
are angry of course. Some OF
them are raving mad but from all
other sources and from all classes
of citizens the Times is being COM
mended for its campaign in behalf
of the unfortunates who have
fallen into the grasp of the blood
suckers.
