OPEN NEW SPOKANE LINE.
O.-W. and Milwaukee's Joint Termin.
al Now Being Used.

Though the state of Washington
has in recent years witnessed the
completion of a number of great rail-
road enterprises, one of the most i'm
portant Of all these accomplishments
is the completion of the Spokane joint
terminal of the Oregon Washington
Railroad & Navigation and the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & st. Paul, together
with the opening to traffic of the Aver
cutoff of the O.-W. r. & N. which
events were celebrated on September
Is in the presence of the leading off,
Gals Of both roads and thousands Of
citizens of Spokane.
The terminal facilities represent an
investment of $16,500,000 and the
1O4-mile cutoff about 100000.
The golden spike was driven by off,
Gals of the two roads concerned. The
completion of this new cutoff on the
O.-W. R. & N. from Spokane to Port
land shortens the distance over the
former line by "a miles and gives the
O.-W. r. & N. the shortest route from
Spokane to Portland. The new line
also reduces grades to a maximum
of six-tenths of l per cent. It is de-
signed for fast freight and passenger
service.

ing of more than $4,000 on its six
months fuel supply, the freight re-
duction amounting to IS cents per
ton.
This is contingent, however, upon
the courts upholding the order Of the
public service commission. The Nor
thern Pacific railroad and Western
Washington coal operators have both
appealed to the Thurston county SUI
perior court from the rate order. The
board of control. however, has pur-
chased the coal at the mines at
Roslyn and will undertake to make
it's own deliveries in order to get full
advantage Of the rate reduction II it
is upheld by the courts.

STATES LIVESTOCK

ASSESSORS REPORTS SHOW RE.
VARIABLE INCREASE IN
FARM ANIMALS.

Totals compiled by the state tax
commission, from reports of all coun-
ty assessors for this year, show in
creases in the number of live stock
in the state even more remarkable
they were indicated by partial figures
previously compiled.
The total number of stock cattle in
the state, this years reports show, is
1928, as compared with 14S,97S
last year, an increase of more than
25 per cent in one year. Particularly
interesting is the comparison of the
number of yearling stock listed this
year, S7,523, as compared with 67,-
$40 in 1918.
10 Per Cent More Dairy Cows.
The number of dairy cows listed
this year is 162,444, as compared
149,140 last year. an increase of
nearly 10 per cent.

The number of sheep assessed this
year is 435,756, as against 4O7,577
in 1913. Mules number 14,905, as
compared with 1893 last year.
Horses are the only animals listed
in less number than last year, and
their total number. 256,876, is prac-
tically the same as the number as
sessed last year, 257,923. The slight
decrease in the number Of horses
undoubtedly can be attributed to the
increased use of automobiles.
so Per Cent More Automobiles.
The totals for the state show 49,
223 automobiles assessed this year,
as compared with 10,102 in 1913, an
increase of more than so per cent.
The actual number of automobiles in
the state at the present time is ac-
tually much greater, as practically all
1914 deliveries have been made since
March 1, when assessments of prop |
erty were made from which the fig |
ures quoted above were compiled.

Popular Mechanics For October.

The European conflict now waging
acquires it's most terrifying aspect
through the use Of modern mechani-
cal equipment. Munitions of war
even more scientific and death-deal-
ing than the public had expected have
appeared upon the continental battle
field. Devices which have been kept
secret until such time as they might
confer advantage, providential or
strategic, upon their owners, are re-
ported from time to time. 1t is this
pronounced phase of the war which

BULL M0OsERs MEET
Prohibition Question Nearly Disrapts
= COnventiOn--Finally Voted Down.

Washington Progressives, in state
convention in Seattle last Saturday,
nearly split over the proposed adop-
ton of prohibition plank in the
state platform, finally rejecting it af-
ter heated debate by a vote of 1853
for to 373 against, the Thurston
county delegation voting solidly in
favor of it.
A Yakima delegate, Mrs. Wallis
Williams. sprung a bomb-shell in the
convention when she charged Ole
Hanson, the Bull Moose senatorial
candidate. with having prevented her
presenting the prohibition question to
the platform committee, but Hanson
explained he thought he had heard
the question under discussion on the
floor Of the convention and had con-
s ,quently told the platform committee
the question was already before the
convention.
With about 400 delegates present,
the convention was called to order
in the morning by Acting State Chair
man Herbsman of King county, with
William Askren of Tacoma acting as
temporary chairman, Govnor Teats of
Tacoma being later selected, resign
ing in favor of Nelson w. Durham of
Spokane, permanent chairman.

The pure food exhibit made by
the state department of agriculture
is attracting attention this year at
the series of fairs at which it is be-
ing shown, under direction of ]. j.
Higgins, in charge of the food d.
vision of the department.
Severe criticism Of the second
choice provision of the primary laws,
on account of the numerous mistakes
evidently made in all parts of the
state in counting votes and making
returns, is heard here and it is prob
able that efforts will be made to re-
peal this feature at the next session
of the legislature.
The state board of equalization is
expected to complete its annual ses-
sion by the end of this week, an
nouncing a state tax levy that will
mark a reduction from the 1913 high
record levy of S.s1 mills. Reductions
in the general fund and public high
way fund levies are anticipated. but
it is likely that small increase may
have to be made in the state school
fund, to care for the 10000 addition

the 1914 school census.

WEATHERLY TRACT |NNORTH CAROLINA IS BEING SURVEYED Gift Recently Made to Church for Episcopal
 Colony in That
 State
By JOHN T. EVANS

Asheville, N. C., May 30.-(Special. ) Permanent improvements have com menced upon the site of the Episcopal colony for the southern states at Black mountain, made a reality through the generosity of Mrs. Flor ence Weatherly, wife of James Weath- |erly, city commissioner of Birming- ham.
 Last summer, it will be recalled, Mrs. Weatherly, who has a summer home at Black mountain, donated to the Episcopal church valuable property and the magnificent gift was accepted In behalf of the church by Bishop J. M. Horner of the western North Car olina diocese, residing in Asheville. During the past week E. H. Cabaniss, Jr., of Birmingham has been engaged in surveying off the Weatherly dona- tfon with a view to permanent inn provements there by the Episcopal church.
 The gift of Mrs weatherly placed the Episcopal church in the south on an equal footing with the Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists and other de- nominations so far as having a col ony in the mountains of western North Carolina Is concerned. When the inn provements to the property are com pleted 1t will be the Mecca for hun dreds of members of the church in the south In the summer time. The Weath- erly tract is located on the North Fora

TARIFF REVENUE UP TO
 UNDERWOOD'S ESTIMATE
With Help of Currency Law and Big Crops Country Expected Soon to Enter Upon An Era of Unprecedented
 Prosperity
By c. E. STEWART

Washington, May S0--(Special.) ) So far as revenue producing is con cerned. the Underwood tariff bill has more than justified the expectations of It's author. MT. Underwood esti- mated that the bill would bring to the governments coffers about $270,000,- 900 per annum. Reports from the treas ury show that this expectation will be
 more than realized. The receipts for
 the fiscal year of 1914. under the tariff
 are already approximately $265.00O, ,0O0
 Under the Payne law the month of
 May, 1913. produced s16,500,727.62. Un-
 der the Underwood bill up to an includ-
 ing the 25th of the month the customs
 receipts were s10,074.2 .2s4.9s, or over
 half a million dollars in excess of the
 receipts under the Payne law for the corresponding month of last year.
 In addition to this the ordinary in-
 ternal revenue receipts are exceedins q
 those of last year At this time there

the original estimates of the income law will fall short by close to s20,000,- 900, but that this shortage will more thar be made up by increased income in the customs receipts over the esti- mates, and from internal revenue, and other sources.
 With ample revenue in the treasury
 and good crops in prospect democrats
 in Congress confidently expect big revival in business all over the coun- try this fall. With the legitimate busi- ress of the country treasured by re .
 suits in years experience under the Underwood bill. and ready to accept the
 currency law as a helping hand to all
 industrial endeavors, it is believed that there will be general movement all along the line. Democrats scoff at the suggestion that the country will permit the party to lose the House of Rep resentatives after what the party has accomplished. Whather the trust laws are passed at this session or not, 1t Is earnestly believed here by influential members of the party that we are ap- proaching an era of the greatest pros perity which will insure party success
 for years to come.

Bv HOLLAND.

New York, May 3O-(Speclai)--At all of the courteous ceremonies with which Kali Flu Shah, who Is the first representative of the republic of China to the United States. was greeted upon his arrival at New York he either in formal address or in formal conversa- tion spoke with enthusiasm of the friendship which characterizes the re- lations established by the United States and by China and strengthened these words of appreciation by saying that China has great need of the United this country.
 At one of the ceremonies the new minister was reported as having spoken with approval of the attitude of the present administration at Washington toward the six-nation group of which an American syndicate was a member. That group was organized for the pur- pose of providing China with about s150. 00,000. each of the six nations to share and share alike in allotments of this loan The new Chinese minister characterized the attitude of the pres ent administration as commendablc < since 1t warned the American finan- ciers that they must keep their hands off China.
 If this was warning it was imme- diately accepted, since the American syndicate withdrew, but some of those who were in touch with this syndicate wonder whether the new minister looked upon the participation of the United States in this loan as worthy of exclusive criticism. The other mem bers of the group have not been warned by high authority to Aeep their hands off China.
 The sole purpose behind the organi- zation of the American syndicate which was organized in the administration of President Taft and at the request of Secretary Knox to membership in the so-called six-nation group was to mako 1t certain that China would maintain the open door, giving no special privi- leges to one nation unless others had opportunities to share in those priyi- leges and, Furthermore, to make if certain that there could be no suc- cessful design upon the territory of China or assaults upon her sovereignty by any other nation.
 That was the explicit statement made by Henry P. Davison. who organized the American syndicate and who was
