HIGH PRICES FOR ART WORKS.

The fantastic price which was paid
on Friday for Raeburn portrait, In
Messrs. Christie's auction-rooms, has
naturally made stir in the art world
That two shrewd dealers should be

6 %, 900 for British portrait, and one
which certainly does not represent a

THE COMMERCIAL FUTURE.

Two years ago, when we called at
tention to the fight that was then on
to wrest San Pedro Harbor from the
final control of the Southern Pacific.
CALIFORNIA; two senators, Flint and
Perkins, attempted to discredit our
statements. The people OF Los
Angeles finally won out, but they had
to wrest the control of the legislature
and the state government from the
Southern Pacific before they did win.
year ago congress passed an APP
preparation of over two million dol
lars for the Lake Washington canal
lock to make room for a larger sea
commerce for Seattle, and to break the
grip OF railroad control. Constant liti-
CATION and endless technical delays
have held up the Lake Washington
canal project for years. Government
engineers have been loyal to the I'M
provement, but the secretary of war,
somehow, has always found way to
put of the day of commercial free
dom, and the work on the Lake Wash
ington canal lock Is apparently as far
distant as ever. Seattle's present
harbor frontage, like so many other
harbors on both the Atlantic and
Pacific, is practically all owned or con-
trolled by the railways or their allied
corporations. A correspondent writes
US that he had little sympathy with
undertaking until he became identi-
filed with the Seattle Harbor Improve
ment association, when he found that
at every turn he was met by the OPP

every incentive to repeat the brave

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon Peter Rossis,

Calumet Fuel company at Perin's, was
seriously injured, by the fall of a
piece of rock weighing several tons
which struck his back in passing, and
fell on his right leg, crushing the
bones just above the ankle.
DIR. Haggart was summoned and
prepared the injured man for the jour
ney to the hospital. He was made as
comfortable as possible with mattress
and bedding arranged in coal car,
and made the trip to the smelter
bridge where the ambulance was
waiting to convey him to Mercy hos
pital.
Careful examination revealed the
fact that Rossis had suffered COM
pound fracture. The main bone was
broken as well as some of the smaller
ones and number of the bloodvessels
had been injured. The broken bone
was set but it is too soon yet to be
able to tell whether it will be nee
essary to amputate the limb. He is
resting as comfortable as can be ex-
