LOUIS HILL VISITS
SPOKANE
No Construction With Sc
curities at 80, Remarks
G.. N. President.

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 4.-Leading
the second annual stampede of the
Rocky Boy Indians President
Louis Hill of the Great Northern
Railroad company arrived in Spo-
kane yesterday morning on special
train of five coaches, he himself oc-
cupying car A22.
Included in the party are num-
Der of the most prominent business
and commercial men of Minneapolis
and st. Paul, Mimi, together with
representatives of commercial
bodies.
I'VE are here to take in the Inter-
state Fair and the Dry Farming
Congress, said President Hill, land
after we have put in the day seeing
the sights and meeting the people
of Spokane we will proceed to the
coast"
No Extensions Planned.
Asked if he had any plans for
railroad extensions or improvements,
President Hill said:
mo, absolutely none. There is
nothing doing in railroad building
anywhere, save in minor instances.
People are not buying railroad Sc
curities at 80 cents on the dollar,
and there is no money for railroad
building of any nature. One never
secures capital for railroads in the
territory where they are built. 1t
is necessary to go to Europe and to
the money market
To what do you ascribe these
conditiors?" President Hill was
asked.
Il would not venture to say" he
replied 1T is not because of hard
times for conditions were never bet
ter especially in the northwest. ANY
man in our party-and they repre-
sent some of the greatest in the lest
will tell you that business was
never better. The matter is simply
this: the public is not buying rail
road securities and until it does
there can be no new lines or extern
sions.
of 1000 miles of new road we
had mapped out we have Cancelled
all save our extensions in Oregon.
AS to when the Great Northern will
resume is problematic. This same
condition affects every other railroad
in the country.
Northwest Welcomes Settlers.
Conditions in the northwest are
ideal for settlers and the opportuni-
ties here were never better. We
are deeply interested in securing
homeseekers and are working to that
end"
When asked if political conditions
exerted any influence on railroad
matters, President Hill evaded the
question with a flourish of the hand
that indicated he did not care to
express himself.

HAY ORDERS Exporting OF
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Rumored That 80 Per Cent and More of Expenditures
of Department Have Been Devoted to Engineering
Board of Three Will Probe Conditions and Work
Will Be Started on Probe This Week

Olympia, Wash, Oct. 4.-Gover-
nor Hay has directed a thorough ex-
pert investigation of the highway de-
partment and the reports of those
who are making and will conduct
the investigation will probably be
made within a week.
This investigation follows COM
plants from different parts OF the
state regarding the administration
of Commissioner Henry L. Bowlby,
and the operation of the state and
road laws.
Some time ago, at the request of
the governor, the state bureau of in
spection and supervision of public
Offices began an investigation of the
expenditures of the highway depart
ment, and it is understood this bu-
reau has submitted a preliminary re-
port to the governor. 1t is now en-
gagged upon making a more detailed
report, which will be submitted
within short time.
Large Sum for Engineering.
There is a rumor here that Sum-
mary Of the expenditures of the high
way department, the present Biennial
report will show that approximately
80 per cent of the money spent has
gone for engineering expenses. This
is said to be many times greater per-
centage than is spent in similar work
in other stalls. The state railway
commission, in its findings On the
cost of reproducing the Northern Pa
cific, allowed but 1-2 per cent for
engineering expenses.
Calls for Technical knowledge.
Realizing that this is matter
calling for the best technical knowl-
edge, Governor Hay has requested
and has been assured the services of
a board of engineers who will pass
upon the matter of expenditures by
the department and report whether
or not there has been any extrava-
gance under Mr.. Bowlby. The board
consists of H. P. Gillette, the $1,000
month expert, who was employed
by the state railway commission in
determining the value of railroad
property and who is now engaged
AT Tacoma making up an estimate for
the owners of the electric railway
there; j. j. Donovan of Bellingham
and E E. Beard of Vancouver.
This committee is TO assemble in
Olympia the latter part Of this week
to take up its work, and on its ar
rival here will be furnished with the.
detail figures of expenditures of the.
department as found by the inspec-
ton bureau.

MARKET SELLS
OFF RAPIDLY IN
CLOSING HOUR
False Rum0rs of MOrgan's Death
Largely Responsible for
Decline.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE market
sold off in the closing hour, the decline
being principally due to the rumors
circulated that j. p. Morgan had died
suddenly abroad. These reports were
quickly denied, and some support re-
turned to the market. The trading was
active at the end.
IL a. m.-The market worked back to
a parity with yesterdays closing for
most of the important stocks, but there
was a recurrent pressure of stock at
the higher levels. U. S. Rubber sagged
13s, Westinghouse Electric IA and
Cleveland, c., C. and St. Louis and
Hooking o /.
Noon-Depressing influences in the
morning stock market were revived
anxiety over the labor disputes
in Philadelphia and the dis
couraging effect of the unfavorable
copper statistics for February. The
support which checked the decline is
attributed to the banking interests en-
gagged In ~1otatiop of new bond issues.
Large additional issues were announced
over night. Support conferred on South
ern Pacific and u. S. Steel. The former
was lifted IL over last night and the
latter !. The tone at noon was dull and
uncertain. Bonds were irregular.
l p. m~.-Continued buying of Cleve-
land, c., c. e ST. Louis sent it up AZ,
but the rest of the list was neglected
and without important change. Hook
ing Coal dropped 2&, Erie second pre-
ferred 2 and American Agricultural
Chemical IA.
2 p. m.-Selling converged on Union
Pacific n Amalgamated Copper, and
when they crumbled 2ss and 29s below

became very weak. American Sugar

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
3 to 4 points on the neal months, but
unchanged to l point lower on late
positions, and during the first few min
utes sold off to a net loss of about 2 to
5 points under realizing and local bear
pressure. There vas "a good demand
for May on the decline. however. and
the market later rallied to within 2 or 8
points of last nights finals in sympathy
with steady cables and continued
favorable accounts from Manchester.
Rumors that ocean freight room for
another 1000 bales of cotton to be
shipped from the local stock had been
engaged, and at least 10000 bales would
be cleared for Bremen or Liverpool this
week helped the advance during the
late forenoon and the market sold up to
a net gain of soil points, with May
contracts touching 14.96, or 81 points
above the low level of last Monday.
Southern bulls M spot houses bought
on the advance while there was con-
siderable covering and much less cot
ton was offered for sale above l4.SO for
May tina on previous advances.

on Lands Question.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Arthur p.
Davis. chief engineer of the reclama-
ton service. testified before the Bal
linger-Pincho Investigating committee
today that in preparing lists of lands
to be restored to the public domain by
Secretary Ballinger he felt he was act
ing under mandatory orders from the
secretary. These lands had been with
drawn. the witness said, by former
Secretary Garfield for the conservation
of vater-power sites. Mr.. Ballinger,
according to Mr.. Davis, repeatedly gave
verbal orders that the lands so with
drawn should be prepared for restora-
tion and that these Withdrawals had
heen in direct violation of law and
could not be sustained. No written or
ders. however. were ever issued.
Mr.. Davis is before the committee on
a issued by Clifford Pinchots
counsel. The prosecution claims that
President. Taft's letter of September ~
last showed that Mr.. Taft got the inn
preston from Mr.. Ballinger that he
had made these reservations only upon
the recommendation of the reclamation
service.
The chief engineer Of the reclama-
tion service also declared today that
Mr.. Ballinger had directed that the
lists of land to be restored should be
prepared slowly so as not TO attract
attention.

Frederick v. Pitney. Of this town, has
relinquished his ~recelvership and has
turned over the affairs of the road to
the former treasurer. George E, Fisher

Mr.. Pitney has been the receiver for
several years. Mr.. Fisher being the
complainant In the court proceedings
just where the check came from that
righted the affairs of the company Mr.
Pitney does not know, but 1t Is pc
lieved that a syndicate has taken over
the affairs of the company.
Three months ago Mr.. Pitney an
nounced that the company would ask
the court for permission to issue re-
eeivers' certificates to the amount OF
$12 900 for the purpose of finishing the
railroad from Watnong station, its
present terminus, to MorrlstoWn, the
company having secured the necessary
rights OF way.
A few weeks later Mr.. Pitney issued
another notice that the amount re-
CURED would be $1,000 to complete the
road. Then the matter was dropped,
though permission had been asked OF
the Morris, Township Committee to
erect a bridge over the tracks, but
after the committee had looked over
the ground and decided what XII OF
bridge would be required they were
informed h the extension of the road
had been dropped. Now comes the an

Freight and passengers are transported

years ago that the Pennsylvania was
trying to secure control of the road and
would build the necessary link between
Whitehouse and Pennington, making
a direct route from Morristown to

the Pennsylvania interests have at last
secured control is only conjecture al
