A dispatch from Whitebird las
Sunday stated: Harvey Miller o.
Camas prairie and party were
hunting deer in the mountains back
of Slate creek when his father-in-
Law, ]. Smith, from the east, lost
his way. A searching party at once
started out and found traces of him,
but these we're soon lost in the fall
ing snow. The search has been
abandoned, as the snow is now near
ly two feet deep. It is feared Mr..
Smith has succumbed 10 the severe
weather which prevailed after he
became lost.

Spokane authorities have found il
necessary to establish a sort of cen
sorship over the picture shows in
that city on account of the bad in
fiuence some of them we're having on
the youth there. The immoral ef-
feet produced by pictures of outlaw
~ resulted in several holdups and
numerous attempts at burglary, and
for a time the police we're kept fair
ly busy running down lads Who had
been led astray through suggestions

oecially, to feed on.

carried on. In this early stage of the
trade history of the city 9TH street was
OF great Importance, and it's progress
served to demonstrate the increase in the
business of the city.
Some thirty years ago both the Avenue
and 9TH street were inadequate to provide
the necessary space, and so began the

New Center in Northwest.
In recent years the course of business
has found its way west along H street
and thence up Connecticut avenue. II
Is recognized that this movement is to
meet demands which arise from the in
crease in the population of the city.
What has taken place is not SO much the
creation of new centers as the expansion
OF the existing business center.
The line of extension from Pennsyl-
vania avenue and eth street i'm one direc-
ton has progressed to within block or
SO of Dupont Circle and it is so clearly
defined and so fully outlined that it is
recognized as representing a consistent
progress from the center outwards. Along
with this material activity, values nat
urally have advanced and the invest
ment character of business property has
become more and more important, thus
drawing to 1t the necessary capital to
make possible the larger and finer build
ings which have been needed and pro-
vided.

Business property during the week con-
tinued to be the main factor in the &C
tivity of the real estate market. Attention
has been directed toward this class OF
property for some weeks past, and a
number of transactions have been record
ed. But the general interest in such deals
does not depend upon their number. be-
cause there are many more houses
sold than business properties every
week during the year. 1t is the amount
of money involved and the general in
fiuence upon the character of the i'm
provements in the commercial portion of
the city that make the changes in owner
ship of such widespread interest and i'm
portance. 49,, 49,
For the most part transactions of that
character mean improvements and changes
which. in a measure, represent the de-
velopment of the business interests of the
city. The business section of Washing
ton contains much valuable investment
property, held by men of means and by
estates As the city grows, the section
given over to commercial undertakings

to accommodate the demand for suitable
locations of new stores and business es-
Establishments of all kinds.

PLASTER FOR ALEXANDRIA.
Norwegian Steamship on Her Way
With 2,50O-Ton Cargo

The Norwegian steamship Radnarock,
laden with about $500 tons of plaster
from the mines in Nova Scotia, is on
her way to Alexandria, and is expected
to pass in the capes tomorrow afternoon
or Monday. Capt. J. T. Barcley of the
Maryland Pilots Association is at Cape
Henry waiting for the vessel, and will
pilot her up Chesapeake bay and the
Potomac river. The Radnarock will be
the first plaster-laden vessel to arrive at
Alexandria in about year, although
several years ago, when plaster was
brought to the fertilizer-making plants
at Alexandria in sailing vessels, several
cargoes would arrive each season. The
schooner will discharge her cargo at the
plant of the Alexandria Fertilizer and
Chemical Company.

FOG CAUSES TROUBLE.
Difficult Passage for Craft on River
and Bay.

The fog and drizzling rain yesterday
ana last night tried the skill of the
masters and pilots whose vessels were
on trips on. the Potomac and chesapeake
bay, for, according to reports it was
one OF the most troublesome spells of
thick weather that they have. had to
contend with for long time. The fog
was bad enough. but combined with a
fine rain. regular old-fashioned Scotch
mist, it covered the river from end to
end. Even in daylight hours there were
times when objects within, fifty feet of
the vessels could mot be made out, and
at night it was impossible to see at all.
What navigating was done was with
time and courses and frequent heaving
of the lead line.
Though incoming steamers were de-
layed somewhat, there were no accidents
due to the skill of the masters and pilots.

REPORT MADE BY PERRY

BY JAMES CR0GGoN.

The act of vandalism committed Tues
day night last in cutting the celebrated
painting The Battle of Lake Erie" in
the Senate wing of the Capitol, has caus-
ed universal condemnation, but, judging
from the fact that a small rent made in
the picture Of the Surrender at York

restoration OF the toe In the figure of
Gen. Morgan in such a manner that with
difficulty 1t Is seen. this injury Is not ir-

"a, and while waiting q reckless soldier
discharged his musket, the bullet strik-
ing the toe and shiyering it into frag-
ments. This was replaced in such a man.
ner that but few ever were aware of the
break.
The cutting of the picture revives much
interesting history pertaining to the bat
tie of Lake Erie as well as to the artist
and other paintings in the Capitol. The
battle was fought September TO- 1SI3. the
four hours. and resulted in victory
for the Americans. under Commodore
Perry And the crucial point in the bat
tie the transfer OF Commodore Perry
from the frigate Lawrence to the frigate
Niagara during tempestuous fire. was
the subject chosen.
