SEATTLE CHINESE TO
HAVE NEW LOCATION

Seattle, Feb. 5.-The principal por-
ton of Chinatown, for years located
on Washington street, is to be moved.
The Chinese propose to move because
the present quarters have been out
grown and do not afford opportunity
for the local Chinese merchants to
develop their trade as extensively as
they desire.
An entirely new Chinatown is to be
built. Old, out-of-date buildings,
with dark Easements and small clut-
tered-up rooms, are to be abandoned
for modern buildings carefully des-
igned to house the Chinese population
of Seattle
The site for the new Chinatown will
be on King street, between Seventh
and Ninth avenues. Work on two Of
the new buildings has already been
commenced. The Quong Tuck Com
pany has tract 100 by 140 feet at
Seventh and King streets. The Wa
Chong Company recently purchased
the southeast double corner of Seventh
avenue and King street. Chinese
have purchased double corners at Eight

thousand feet of street frontage in that
vicinity.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE FAILS
TO SETTLE TRANS-SHIP-
MENT QUESTION.
All Parties to Controversy Agree
to Ask Interstate Commerce
Commission to Investigate and
Settle Matters at Issue for All
Time.

committeeto consider the transit-ship-
ment question in all it's angles, yester-
day gave up all hope of solving the
various questions at issue themselves,
and instead decided to request the in
terstate commerce commission to in
stitute an investigation on the Coast
at once and promulgate a ruling set
Ting for all time the translt-shipment
questions now disturbing the lumber
industry of the Northwest.
Railroad officials representing all
the lines serving Northwest lumber
and shingle manufacturers heartily
concurred in the suggestion advanced
by the manufacturers that the aid Of
the interstate commerce commission
be invoked, much to the surprise of
many who thought the carriers would
resist any attempt to secure the inter-
ference of the commission.
Acting on the conclusions reached
yesterday, the lumber and single
manufacturers will at once assume the
initiative and invite the interstate COM
MERGE commission to institute an in
vestigation and hearing in the North
west and issue ruling bidding all the
railroads to observe certain rules COW
ering transit shipments and the privil-
eyes attending them.
Agreement Not Possible
At the outset of the conference it
became apparent that an agreement on
the question of transit shipments was
impossible. It was shown that there
was diversity of opinion on the part
of the railroads between Chicago and
the Minnesota Transfer over the ques-
ton of abolishing transit shipments
that could not be overcome by ordin-
ary means. It was shown that these
connecting roads fear that they will
lose business if the transit shipments,
storage and diversion privileges were
abolished.
The manufacturers submitted that
the transit shipments were menace
to the industry, and that the carriers
need only to look to the decentralization
of the yellow pine industry and the
single trade of the northwest to see
that it is only a question of time when
the Northwest lumber trade will be
similarly upset.
Carries Welcome Inquiry
The carriers submitted that they
desired nothing SO much as to see the
lumber industry, which furnishes so
large tonnage. in prosperous condi-
ton, and admitted that, in view of the
signed protests recently made by the
lumber and single shippers of the
Northwest, something must be wrong
with existing shipping rules, and that
they would welcome an investigation
of the entire question by an unbiased
body, such as the interstate commerce
commission.
