SCARCITY OF
BEEF IN THE
THREE STATES
Heavy Shipments From the
Southern State to
Meet Demand.
SEVENTY-EIGHT
CARS SHIPPED
One Ranch Has Sent Large
Consignments to
Northwest.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-The
shortage of beef in the Pacific north
west has resulted in large shipments
of dressed beef, and livestock from
California to Oregon, Idaho and Wash
ington in the past IA days. Montana
and Wyoming are unable to meet the
demand in the coast states.
All parts of California have been
drawn upon by northern buyers. While
a large portion of beef left the San
Joaquin valley, San Luis Obispo has
also been making good shipments.
Newhall's Guadaloupe Rancho, at San
Luis Obispo, has sent IS cars of live
stock to Oregon and Washington since
Saturday. Chicago markets feel the
effects of the heavy northern demand.

FIRE BURNS BARN
Of J.J, WILLIAMS
Costly Confiagration Does About $4,000
Worth of Damage to Stable on
Ranch Near This
City.

Destroying the barn and everything
that it contained, a fire starting this
morning about o'clock on the ranch
of ]. J. Williams, about seven miles
southwest of the city on the interur-
ban line, defied all attempts made to
extinguish it and as the result about
$4,000 worth of property was absolutely
lost.
This morning the residents of the
Williams ranch Wera awakened by a
bright glare and rushing into the yard
they discovered that their barn was
aflame. Immediately turning a strong
stream of water ON it, they were un-
able to chl1ck the spread of the flames,
so rapidly had they gained headWay
and all efforts proving fruitless the
owners were forced to stand by IN
idleness and see their most valued
property go UP in smoke. Fortunately
no horses and cattle were in the barn,
as they had all been turned out to
pasture, but seven vehicles of various
kinds, many sets of valuable harness,
an automobile and a great quantity of
hay and grain were consumed in the
fire.
No idea can be gained as to the
origin of the blaze. but it is suspected
by Mr.. Williams that some one slept in
the barn and lighting a smoke let the
match drop in the hay which immedl-
ately caught fire. The idea of some one
doing it for spite is scoffed at by the
owners who state that they have not
an enemy in the world who would even
contemplate such thing.
The loss is partially covered by IN
Surance.

NORTH COAST ONLY
LOCAL SAYS SPHINX
Robert Strahorn Intimates That His
Mysterious Road Is Nothing
More Than Inland Empire
System.

Definite announcement was made by
Robert Strahorn, president of the North
Coast railroad company, yesterday in
a spech before the city council of
Spokane, that the plans of this COM
pany contemplate making Spokane the
nucleus of system that will have
branch lines running into this city.
Other lines will be extended into the
Big Bend country and the Palouse riv-
er section, from which it is supposed
that the idea of the North Coast being
a transcontinental is a myth.
Although assurance was given by
Mr.. StrahOrn that this system of
branch lines will be greater than
those built by either the Northern Pa
cific or the O. r. & n. companies, this
fact does not tend to enthuse the peo-
pie who have been counting on a COM
pleta system from one coast to the
other and it now seems as if Walla
Walla is still to be the butt of joke
that is rapidly becoming stale.
Mr.. Strahorn neither confirmed nor
denied the conclusions of E. T. Colman
president of the Exchange National
bank. that the North Coast could not
be other than part of a great transcon-
tinental railroad system that is to en-
ter Spokane, but the conclusion is
drawn by others that it is merely part

the Defense.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. - John
A. Helms, formerly detective for the
United Railroads, whose introduction
in the Calhoun trial yesterday after
noon came like a thunderbolt, took the
stand against Calhoun this morning.
He told story of conspiracies, brib-
cries, plotting and counter plotting in
which he was engaged at the direction
of Calhoun, he said, md later for the
prosecution.
His appearance on the stand totally
disorganized the forces of Calhouns
attorneys. He said he left the United
Railroads and was employed by De-
tective Burns, for the prosecution He
then returned to the United Railroads
to- work for them under the direction
of the prosecution.
A large detail of police officers in
plain clothes and detectives, scattered
through the courtroom, surrounded the
prosecutors and their witnesses. Hired
detectives also guarded Calhoun.
Rudolph Spreckles, who was in
court, told the United Press that he
had all the accounts of moneys paid
in support OF the graft prosecution
from it's inception, and would give
them to the jury.
Helms told that under the instruc-
tions of attorneys for the United Rail-
roads, that he had Detective Burns
covered" day and night. He did this
work in an automobile, receiving $40
a day and expenses.
