BELT LINE PENINSULA.
Milwaukee Railroad Is Planning a
Complete Belt Line Around
Olympic Peninsula.

SEATTLE, Oct. 31.-The Chicago,
Milwaukee e Puget Sound railroad,
which is about to build branch
from Snoqualimie pass to Everett.
will install car ferry service across
Puget Sound from Everett to Port
Ludlow and will build railroad
from Port Ludlow to Port Angeles
on the Strait of Fuca, thus reaching
for the trade of the rich but undev-
eloped Olympic peninsula. The Ever
EFT branch will also be extended
north to Belilngham.
The distance from Port Angeles to
Port Ludlow at the foot of Hood can
al is about 60 miles, the distance by
water from Port Ludlow to Everett
is 21 miles, which could be covered
by a modern car ferry in a little over
an hour.
The Milwaukee is also planning a
complete belt line around the Olym-
pic peninsula. The Grays Harbor eX-
tension will be further extended by
line running north near the Pacif-
ic coast to the Soledeck river, whose
course it will follow up stream
through the mountains, skirting
Lake Crescent and connecting with
the northern line at Port Angeles.
The right of way for this extension
has been secured nearly to Lake Cres-
cent and the Milwaukee plans to
push construction.

An editorial by President Gompers

"Whatever the decision of the

Notice on Cannon That CannoniSm
Is Not RepubliCaniSm. Insurgents
Will Not Be Read Out OF Party by
Cannon Pie BiferS.

MADISON. Wis, Oct 31.- Speak
Ter Cannon's challenge to read out of
the Republican party such chaff as
Cummins, La Toilette, and their
followers was accepted today by
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Notice of Willingness to enter the
contest is served upon Speaker Can
non through La Follette's Weekly
Magazine. Cannonism is riddled and
his dismantled doctrine is held up as
the "snarling of q, grim old wolf who
hears the beaters in the woods, and
scents them closing in
"As far as La Follette's can can
speak for progressives, service of that
notice of the open fight Cannon pro-
misses is hereby accepted, writes
Senator La Toilette. Cannon is quo
ted in the magazine as saying that if
| the progressives are Republicans he
is not.
"If Cannon is Republican, these
progressives, these undrilled citizens,
are not" says Senator La Toilette.
"If Cannon is a Republican, Lincoln
and Sumner and George William Cur
tis, and Carl Schurz, and the men
who followed Serman and Grant,and
the commanders they followed, and
the founders of the Republican party,
were not.
Cannon may speak the truth
when he denies that he has made a
corrupt deal with Tammany where
| by he will aid the tiger in New York,
while it continues to aid him in con-
gress in his contest with the Progress
ives, or insurgents He may. They
may have come to his aid in that
grim crisis of last congress, not be-
cause of anything he promised them,
but because of the deep sympathy
that exists between such men. For
if Cannon is a Republican, Tammany
is Republican, and so is Cox of Gin
cinnati. Sullivan. 'Bath-house John
and 'Hinky DiRk' of Chicago and the
powers that prey everywhere. They
may not pass under the same names,
but Cannon himself is authority for
the statement that party titles are
deceitful now.
"But about one thing. Cannon Is
evidently mistaken. He cannot gavel
through his classification of Repub-
licans as he gavels through his
schemes in Congress. The voters of
the Republican party Will decide as
to who are Republicans and who are
not.
"But we shall never believe in the
identity of the party of Lincoln with
the nartv of Cannon until the last
ballot has been counted in the last
contest. The Progressives may we'll
bide the time and laugh at the full
minations of the Car of the house.
Their time is coming. Cannonism
is merely survival, and it is doomed.
A free. untrammeled ballot in the
Republican party would strip Can
non of every prestige of power to-
morrow. His Pronunciamentoes
are but the snarlings of a grim old
wolf who hears the beaters in the
woods, and scents them closing in.
He is still at large but the days OF
his depreciation within the sheep
folds of the people are surely num-
bered"

SALMON RUN IS
THE GREATEST EVER.

HOQUIAM, Oct 30.-Never in the
history of Grays Harbor has there
been such an enormous run OF silver
side salmon as has been seen in the
past week.
Today 5000 fish were delivered to
the Hoquiam Packing Company, and
for more than week the daily catch
has not fallen below 5000.
81 have been in the business for
more than fifteen years. said w. w.
Kurtz, of the Hoquiam Packing
Company, "and | have never before
seen the equal of the run.
"The waters seem alive with fish
and the catches made are something
enormous. We have been running
the plant to its full capacity both
night and day and yet have thou3-
ands of fish stored which we have
been unable to pack.
'Indications point to q great pack
on Grays Harbor. The record of last
year has been broken and we have
two weeks more to fish before the
season closes. "

two HUNTERS LOST
IN OAKVILLE WILDS
Hunters Missing and Two Searching
Parties Go Out to Look for Them.

OAKVILLE, Oct. 3O.-Harry Hol-
land and James Mike, recent arriv-
ais from Illinois. have been lost for
three days in the North river coun-
try south Of Oakville, and two large
parties are now looking for them
They left the farm of James Rowe,
four miles from Oakville, on a hunt
ing trip, expecting to be back the
same night, and carrying few sup
plies. Nothing having since been
heard from them, general alarm
was sent out. This morning the
ranchers on Garrard creek organiz-
ed a big band of searchers, equipped
with guns, bells, horns and other
noise-making appliances, and started
in over the divide.
Another party on Independence
creek, westward from Rochester, was
organized to start in from that direc-
ton, thinking the lost men might
have swung around toward the east,
which would bring them out in the
Independence creek district. The
searching parties will put in all day
searching, and may renew the search
tomorrow if nothing is found today.
The chances of finding the lost men,
however, is considered very small, as
they have doubtless penetrated into
the great wilderness of hundreds of
square miles, and not being eXper-
fenced woodsmen or used to the West
they will likely merely push blindly
on into the heart of the forest, MAX
ing rescue practically impossible.
