1t is alleged by her acquaint-

band, an army officer, and two
children.
A brother of the injured man
says that Schwaneman was about
to marry the woman when he was
dissuaded through fear Of a big

BIG MILL TO
BE REBUILT
North Shore Company Asks for Permit for Sluicing
Over Alder Street; Int nd to Rebuild Big Lumber
Plant.

Another great lumber mill will
be added to the waterfront by the
North Shore Lumber company II
1t can obtain an avenue through
which to bring its logs to its prop
erty in the gulch at North Alder
street, just beyond Old Town.
In federal court recently the
Northern Pacific condemned the
waterfront land of the mill COM
pany, taking a strip which shut
the lumber company practically
out and cut off its access to the
mill site from the sound. The
railway had to pay $4,000 in cash
to the mill company for the prop
erty taken and now 1t refuses to
consider any overtures from the
mill people which look to the re-
habilitating of great lumber
plant on this site.
There is one avenue left open to
the mill property, however, in Al
der street, which runs down over
the bluff into the water. This
street has never been vacated and
If the company can secure permit
for a sluiceway over the street 1t
can still get its logs In from the
water and will be able to do busi-
ness.
A franchise was asked for at
the council meeting last week but
Judge Stiles told the franchise
committee today that the city has
no power to grant a franchise to a
private corporation. He stated,
however, that permit might be
given for a time, until further or
der of the council
The councilmen appear to favor
this as they desire to see the mill +,
which burned over year ago, re-
built, and there is apparently no
reason why the railway company
should arbitrarily shuot out big
industry of this character which
will employ probably over 100
men.
Tomorrow night the council
will likely grant the permit to the
North Shore company and 1t will
at once get busy. II the N. p.
attempts to make any trouble the
city will have a good club over it
for the N. P. must itself have a

fore 1t can build its Point Defiance

KLEIN'S DEMURRER

When Joshua Klein's demurrer

that Miss Culbertson show all
wounds or bruises inflicted in the

Robbed of her sweetheart on the
eve of her marriage, pretty Viola
OFT of Denver, insists, despite the
protestation of her relatives and
friends, that she will remain ever
true to her maniac lover, Fred
Mcfarland, and the heart of all
Los Angeles goes out to her.
1t was two years ago that Nc
Farland met Miss OFT in Denver
1t was love at first sight. For
over year they were sweethearts.
Then Mcfarland obtained lucra-
tive position In Los Angeles, and
on the eve of his departure he
told his promised bribe that it
would be only a few months before
the wedding bells would ring.
He was true to his word. Two
weeks ago there was a joyful
meeting at Los Angeles. The date
for the wedding was set.
The first inkling of impending
tragedy came to Miss OFT on the
eve of her wedding when McFar-
land failed to keep an engagement
with her. She was seized by an
unreasoning fear for her lovers

search, an officer at police head

AMENDMENT - LOCAL OP-
TION BILL MAY BE PASSED
TONIGHT.
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 9.-In the
house today Hansen called up his
anti-racetraek gambling bill and
requested that the house concur in
the senate amendment striking
out the emergency clause.
The house concurred, only two
members voting no" This places
the bill ready for engrossing and
for the governors signature, and
puts an end to the racing game in
Washington.
The house got down to business
early and the "drys" announced
that they will continue sessions
late into the evening, If necessary,
SO that they can put the local op-
tion bill on final passage before
adjournment tonight.
County Divided.
The house passed bill carving
Big Bend county out of Douglas
county. Among the new bills was
one by McMasters giving univer-
sity regents the right to give the
railroads and street car companies
easement for right of way over
the university campus. No pro-
vision is made for any payment
for this.
There was also a bill by Slayden
to allow the counties of the state,
by order of the commissioners, to
provide funds to erect county
buildings at the exposition.
Hansen came forward with a
new bill to create a board of COM
missioners to license sailors
boarding houses.
In the senate a bill asked for by
railway trainmen for standard ca
booses, came back from the labor
committee with a recommendation
that 1t do pass, amended to ex-j
empt logging roads. ~.
The most important new bill
introduced was by the committee
on labor and labor statistics,
which is an employers liability
law which makes employers liable
for personal injuries sustained by
employees.
This is somewhat similar to the
bill President Roosevelt urged
congress to enact.

DRUG STORE
ROB BED

BY picking the lock on the outer
door, thief last night entered
the Trommald Pharmacy, 1856
Tacoma av., and escaped after
taking the contens of the till,
amounting to about IS. No mer-
chandise was stolen. Owing to
the fact that there are no marks
on the doors or windows, city de-
tectives believe that the theft
used a piece of slender wire with
which to pick the lock.
The proprietors of the drug
store are incluined to think that
the burglar sneaked inside the
store last night and remained
sidden until the place was locked
up.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Feb. g.
While ridiculing the idea of a war
with Japan, Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans today declared that the
battleship fleet should be sent to
the Pacific as precautionary
measure while talk of trouble with
Japan is extant. Evans said:
"The navy will not have to be
represented on the Pacific coast
because of any probability of
trouble with Japan now or re-
motely, but It Is likely that after
the return of the fleet and after
1t has been overhauled, a part of
1t will be sent to the Pacific
waters for permanent purposes.
"All is not needed on the At
lantic, and it would only be
natural that 1t should be divided
in this way as precautionary
measure In view of the talk of
trouble with Japan"

ROAD
Workmen Meet in Middle
of the Long Milwaukee
Tunnel Line Prac-
tically Completed.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, Feb. AT 10
o'clock this morning, amid the
blowing of whistles and other
noise at the command of the men
working on the job, the last tun-
mel of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound railroad, at st. Paul
pass in the Bitter Root mountains,
met in the center of the bore.
With the completion of this
tunnel work, the entire line of
the Milwaukee's Pacific coast ex-
tension is practically completed.
In all, less than so miles of rails
remain to be laid to connect Chi
cago and the coast over this third
transcontinental line.
Immediately following the
breaking down of the bore, the
workmen filed through the tunnel
to the little town of Taft, at the
east portal, where an elaborate
banquet was given them by the
officials of the company.
The first ground for the tunnel
at st. Paul pass was broken on
November 8, 1906, 10 miles west
of Missoula.. The bore, which is
$500 feet in length, is hewn out
of solid rock.
Trains will be operated through
the tunnel by electricity.
Compared to Other Tunnels.
Compared with other tunnels,
the st. Paul pass tunnel is the
shortest of the big bores. The
Great Northern tunnel through the
Cascades is 1888 feet, and the
Northern Pacific tunnel at Stam-
pede pass is 1884 feet. The st.
Paul pass tunnel is 4,200 feet
above sea level.
About week ago workmen met
in the center Of the Johnson creek
tunnel, and in few days rails
will be laid through 1t and to-
ward the Columbia river, only a
short distance away. The last few
spans of that structure are now
being put in place, and by March
] 1t will be completed, when the
driving of the golden spike will
take place, and the Milwaukee
road will have q through line
from the Puget sound country to-
Chicago.
The completion of the tunnel
and the Columbia bridge comes
a few months ahead of the time
set for it last summer. The tun-
mel, it was declared, would be
by the end of May and
the Columbia bridge by April.

The local business friends of T.

Thus far. however, they admit
that they have been unable to SUBJ

but knowing Cox to be q reliable

Cox has been known here for

story seems strangely improbable,
