MORE Coin FOR
WESTERN PACIFIC

Shareholders of the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad the holding company
of the Western Pacific, will be called
upon April 9th to vote upon the au-
thorization of $25,O00,0O0 adjustment
mortgage bonds, $10000,000 imme-
diately, out of which it is proposed to
have the Denver & Rio Grande acquire
$2,500,000 obligations of the Western
Pacific and to pledge the same under
the adjustment mortgage. A portion
Of the proceeds of these obligations is
to be used by the Western Pacific to-
ward payment of interest on it's first
mortgage bonds, protecting not only
those bonds, but also the revenues Of
the Denver & Rio Grande in view Of
ern Pacific and its guarantee of inter-
est on the Western 8 first mortgage
bonds.
The $2,50O,000, it is also proposed,
will be devoted in part to important
improvements on the Western Pacific,
including the completion of the
Sacramento shops, necessity
for the proper maintenance Of !.
equipment, and the requirement
of ferry steamer to replace the Tele-
phone, which is now considered Who'll
ly inadequate for the Westerns pas
senger business here. Another i'm
provement to be made is the COM
pletion of the low grade line known as
Arnold s loop, 145 miles west of Salt
Lake City.
Shareholders to vote.
The result of the shareholders, vote
is considered to be without doubt
When the Denver & Rio Grande nrst
proposed the issue of $25,000, 900 ad-
justment bonds a few weeks ago it
was agreed that these should be un-
derwritten by Blair & Co., and William
Solomon & Co., New York railroad
bankers, who were at that time also
being pressed for money by Vice.
President Charles s. Schlacks and
President E. T. Jeffrey, of the West
ern, both of whom were conferring in
New York in an effort to relieve the
Western Pacific of it's then serious
financial difficulties. It was Blair &
Coz and Solomon Co. who agreed to
help the Western, and their stipulation
for underwriting the Denver & Rio
Grande's adjustment mortgage bonds
there was contained proviso that the
Western Pacific should share in the
expenditure of the moneys~to be first
advanced. s.
The first issue proposed will not ex-
ceed $4,000, 900, of which the West
ern is to get $2,500,000. As later is
sues are authorized until the entire
$25 100000 is out, the Western will
receive her share from the Denver.
giving her own bonds as security. The
n.
100000 to be issued later will be
greater, pro rata, than the 25 per cent
now planned for her out of the &c.

SOMETHING ABOUT
OUR OWN PEOPLE

EFT US now turn our attention to
l. the short stories about the peo-
Pile we know. as, for example, the
people on Broadway. l call your at
tention to Mr.. Allan Updegraf story
THE WHITE LIGHT LIAR"
The particular liar referred to was
the doorman in lobster palace
Nothing appealed to him so much as
the passing show. the lsnguid habitues
of these glittering rendezvous, the
wealth and the poverty, the paint and
the powder, the conquered and the
conquerors. Everything appealed to
his imagination. He dreamed dreams
of prosperity, of luxury. He was at
one and the same time a prince. a
spendthrift, a wreck, dissipated out
cast, coming and going upon the TIDE
of good and bad fortune, without
ever really leaving his position at the
door. He was a Munchausen riveted
to his post, with an astral imagina-
ton which he projected into space at
will
But back OF it all was the real
story of his life-the story he tells
the young profligate-the story of the
woman he loved. What an amazing
recital of his deeper thoughts!
Where Allan Updegraff ever learned
SO much about the white lights is
beyond me. But he has written this
story with the sure touch of inspira-
ton, backed by what seems the larg-
est fund of information and expert
ence ever accorded writing man.
THE WHITE LIGHT LIAR" Is a
gem.

Vote. -

DETROIT. Aug. 29.-Amos s. Mussel-
man, of Grand Rapids, has received the
Republican nomination for governor, ac-
cording to returns today from the State
wide primary OF Tuesday. The race was
close but today's figures show Mussel-
man leading Fred c. Martlndale by a
trihe over 1900 votes out of total
of about 10000 cast. ..
The Progressive vote throughout the
State was very light. Figures SO far
received show that only a little over
1000 we're cast in the entire State. or
these about 700 were polled in Detroit.
There were no contests between Pro-
gressive candidates. and this. according
to the State leaders of the new party.

test Of the primary law may be made
by the Democrats of Ingham county.
The law requires that a vote equal to

TO make the nomination effective. In
many instances the vote, owing to lack

KENSINGTON BARN
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Volunteer Force Succeeds In Saw
ing Grocery Store of J.
W. Hopkins.

kensington, Md. was visited last
night by one Of the most violent thun-
derstorms of the season. The storm,
which arose about 2:l5 a. M, had just
attained its height. when a bolt of
lightning struck and set on fire the
barn and surrounding sheds. in the rear
OF the grocery store of J. W. Hopkins.
Fighting the fire was done by volun-
teers under the regularly appointed
corps of volunteer fire fighters. The first
persons to appear succeeded in remov-
ing the horses and wagons and a sixty
gallon tank of gasolene from danger.
, The large, two-story and a loft building
was entirely enveloped in flames, when
the wind shifted slightly and carried
the fire in the direction of the store.
The water was pumped from the store
4 well, but this could not furnish the
dry, making 1t necessary to carry the
water a distance OF more than a half
block from the fire, and then pump 1t
on the fire from buckets The store
was finally saved from the fire.
The barn was a newly erected two
story frame building, "a by 40 feet Con-
siderable hav and forage was lost the
total loss being about 81 900. Part OF
this loss was covered by insurance. A
peculiar circumstance attending the
burning of this barn was the fact that
n small barn, which had stood next to
this one, was burned down about two
weeks before: a that time all attention
was turned to the saving of this one.

6SSLAGO-OO EATNG . II MI
The trust publishers seem to be
getting desperate.
All day long yesterday, their
division bosses were circulating
among the union newsboys.
The division bosses are the men
in charge of the circulation in the
various sections into which the
publishers divide the city for their
convenience.
The division bosses told the
newsboys that the stereotypers
had signed up a secret contract
with the publishers, and were go
ing to go back to work and leave
the Newsboys' union in the lurch.
The game didn't work. The
newsboys just took the matter up
with the Federated Trades, which
is the central body formed by the
locked-out and striking unions,
so they can work together, and
found out that the Secret con
tract" story was a lie.
1t seems strange that the pub
fishers, who daily tell what few
readers their newspapers have
that the Strike" is over and the
unions beaten, should resort to
such tactics.
Perhaps two neat body blows
landed by the beaten" unions
yesterday had something to do
with it..
The most severe blow was that

Ever since the strike began, the

The stores have hollered. Can
it be that the publishers have
made uncanny promises as to
what they will do in the future,
and how, if the stores stand by
them now, they will stand by the
