Northern Pacific Agrees to
Use of Track Between
Tacoma and Portland.
TEMPORARY DEPOT READY
Work of Laying Bouble Track and
Reducing Grades South of Ta
coma to Be Rushed, With
" Three Lines Agreed.
c tt t TTT.tr tinv. ?R. The agreement
between the Union Pacific and Northern
Pacific Railroads for uae of the latter a
Portland-Tacoma. track for Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific trains was
signed yesterday and the Jlarrlman
roads will begin to operate trains into
Peat tie on January 1. Between Seattle
and Tacoma the Union Pacific has Its
-own track, owning a half interest In the
Milwaukee line connecting these cities.
Until the Union Pacific terminals and
tunnel at Tacoma are completed, the
Harriman trains will be brought through
Tacoma on the Northern Pacific track.
'A temporary station Is ready for the new
Strains here and a permanent one Is being
built.
'Terminal Improvements Coming Up.
Judge Robert S. Lovett. head of the
JHarrlman lines, and Julius Kruttschnltt,
I director of maintenance and way. will
come to Seattle tomorrow. It is expected
tthat while the two railroad officials are
- here the entire question of terminal Im
; provement and the extension of Harrl-
man lines in Western Washington will be
.canvassed thoroughly.
Harriman officinls expect that their
.line Into Grays Harbor, which will be
used Jointly by that system and the Mil
waukee, will be completed within a short
4ime. The Harriman Interests will con
nect with the Northern Pacific to use
that road Into Portland, while the Mil
waukee will have to extend the Tacoma
Eastern to a Junction with the Grays
Harbor branch.
Single Track "ot Enough.
J It is expected in railroad circles that
the work of 'grade reduction and double
'tracking on the Northern Pacific between
'Tacoma and Portland will be rushed, now
'that the deal between the three lines Is
I completed.
The traffic between Portland and Pu
;get Sound is heavy for a single track
-line and as the Harriman roads will op
erate two or three passenger and other
' freight trains daily, the burden will be
'greatly Increased.
" "i think very probably the contract has
been signed, but I cannot confirm the re
port Just 'now," said Judge Robert S.
.-Iyjvett. head of the Harriman system.
Just before leaving for Seattle last night,
when shown the above dispatch. "For
the same reason I am unable at this time
t jrtake any announcement as to when
we will inaugurate our train service be
tween Portland and Seattle. Neither can
I say Just what that service will con
felt of."
Locally it is strongly suspected that the
final execution of the contract for the
Joint use of the Northern Pacific track
by the Hill and Harriman roads between
this city and Puget Sound is one of th
purposes of the visit of Judge Lovett at
thi. time It Is believed all details will
be adjusted and the contract finally exe
cuted during the visit of Judge Lovett
"and his associates to Seattle this week.

Drastic Punishment at Baker City
for Persistent Masquerader.
i
BAKER CITY, ' Nov. 25. (Special.) A
woman dressed in men's clothes and bear
ing the name of Harry Allen has been a
source of annoyance to the police of this
city for some time.
When first it was learned that a woman
was masquerading as a man, she was
haled into court and local attorneys dili
gently searched the statutes In an at
tempt to find punishment for such an act.
But the law books were dumb regard
ing the subject before the court, and Al
len was "vagged" In the police tribunal.
Allen then left the city, with a prom
ise never to return, but her promise
proved worthless, for in a very short
time she was loitering about some of
the saloons, still In male attire. Again
she was put in prison and this time Olef
of Police Porter announces that she will
be treated as any other hobo and forced
to work on the streets.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25. Widespread
allegations of deplorable conditions in
Portugese East Africa, particularly In the
Islands of Santhome (and ' Principe,
credited by recent English and American
writers to the existence of a cruel slave
trade in negroes among the planters; was
denounced as unwarranted fabrications
today by Colonel J. A. Wyllie, Fellow of
the Royal Geographical Society of Eng
land, who arrived on the steamer Teu
tonic, after a two months' Investigation
of conditions in Portuguese'East Africa.
Colonel Wyllie spent last August on the
islands and said he found a spirit of
friendliness and perfect freedom existed
between the white man and the black.
"The African's condition is wonderfully
improved as a laborer by the Portuguese
In contrast with his home environment In
Central Africa." said Colonel Wyllie.
"They come down to the coast, many of
them cannibals, and all barbarians, and
are glad to hire out to the planters to
escape the tortures of their tribal bar
barities. On the plantations they are
well housed, well fed. and the medical
treatment offered them is excellent."
