PROPOSES A JOINT
VIADUCT FOR THE
N. P. & up. ROADS

Portland to South Tacoma. II
this Is true, there could hardly be
very serious objection to keeping
ON the same track through the
city and over onto the tideflats.
BY this plan 1t would probably
be necessary for the N. p. to
abandon its line and come in
through the u p. tunnel. This
would give the company a better
grade than 1t now has, and 1t
could get back onto its own tracks
over on the tideflats and swing
back over the waterway into the
depot.
Whether the project can be
worked out and whether the COM
panies would agree to it is a
question, but the proposition is
likely to be made this week.

One Kind OF Prosperity

The South African gold min es, which
n)w produce nearly AS much of the
precious metal annually as the whole
world produced fifteen years ago. have
long been especially afflicted by labor
troubles. The native Kufr labor is. of
course cheap; but it is Of Il rather un-
disciplined and "triiling" character.
Several years ago, to relieve the mine
owners of their burdens in this respect,
the British government authorized
them to import many thousand Chinese
coolies under conditions that savored
disagreeably Of chattcl slavery. This
authorization was SO unpopular in Eng.
land that it was revoked. All but about
three thousand of the coolies have been
sent home. leaving the mine owners
again ut the mercy of native labor.
In October we read. the outpnt of
tho mines fell off fourteen thousand
ounces. owing to shortage Of labor.
(which WAS due largely TO the pros.
perity of the natives through the ex-
cellcnt harvest" 1T is confidently rs.
serted, however. the report gravcly
adds. that with the passing of the in

SUNDAYS GAME.

The Hustlers came, administered a
coat of whitewash to the Bourbonites
and licked theR platter clean of the
three games of the series. The game
was Snappy for the start, but the fail
ure of the locals to connect with Bur-
den when hits meant runs, resulted in
the accumulation of nine goose eggs
for the BOurbOnites.
Winchell was on the mound for the
locals and pitched steady ball but al
lowed the visitors to hit at critical
stages, and total of nine hits were
made off of his delivery. two of which
came in the fifth and three in the sixth
inning.
Burden. on the other hand pitched a
game that stamps him as one of the
best pitchers in the league. While at
certain stages he was wild to degree.
but with men on bases he picthed mas
terly ball and held the locals safely
with six hits, no two of which came in
one inning. The Bourbonites were the
first to threaten, and that in the third
inning, when two men were down.
Setback hit to the right-feld fence for
three bases. but he died on third as
Goodman flied out to left.
The Hustlers started the scoring in
the fifth when Burden, the first I'D,
reached first on Scott's error and went
to second on Schmidt's sacrifice. Goose
tree hit for two bases, scoring Burden.
Vandine the next up drove safe one
to left which scored Goosetree and a
moment later died in an attempt to
steal second, Goodman to Setback.

which the latter fumbled, the runner

looked over four bad ones, filling the
bases. Digger, after fouling to the
number of half a dozen, struck out.

The Hustlers added another in their
half of the eighth. Vandinr, the first
at bat, hit to center for a base. Ellis
hit one in the same territory, advanc-
ing Vandine to second. Barney went
out on bunt which struck him in
bounding from the plate and Stout
drove hot one over the third bag on
which Vandine galIoped home, Ellis
