HOLESAREHISHOBBY
Hill Has Tunnel Nearly Finished
Under Seattle.
COST fAR ABOVE ESTIMATES
Question Whether Results Will Jus
tify the Expenditure Poor Postal
Facilities on Puget Sound Issa-
quah Coal Strike.
SEATTLE, July 9. (Special.) The Great
Northern tunnel, running under the City
of Seattle to the new Union Depot site on
the edge of the tldeflats, will be completed
within three months. With work so well
advanced on the bjg bore the talk of rail
road men that the enterprise waa an un
necessary expenditure of money is a
most Interesting phase of the railroad de
velopment here.
The tunnel under the city is James J.
Hill's scheme. As long as he could, C. S.
Mellen, then president of the Northern
Pacific, opposed the plan. Mellen insist
ed upon a depot on the water front within
easy walking distance of the business sec
tion. He wanted the union passenger sta
tion built at the site of the present North
ern Pacific depot.
Railroad men in touch with Mellen are
coniinced that if it had been insisted upon
Mellen -would have agreed to overhead
tracks that would have kept passenger
traffic off the water front streets. It would
have landed passengers on the second
story of a union passenger station, but
this would not be of much Inconvenience,
especially when the location was consid
ered. But Hill would not listen to this
proposal, and the outcome of the struggle
was the agreement to construct the tun
nel. This tunnel has already cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars more than It was
originally expected would be necessary.
The purchase of the York Hotel property
alone, which involved $155,000, was an
expenditure that none of the railroad men
anticipated. This was made necessary
from the fact that the hotel began to
sink and the walls to crack as a -result of
the construction of the tunnel under the
hotel site. In addition the railroad com
pany has been met with heavy expenses
all along the route for damages to build
ings. Inside the tunnel there has been little
trouble found that was not figured upon
by the engineers. The excavation work in
the southern part of the city has been
held back by a hard cement gravel forma
tion that was not entirely expected, and
in this particular the cost has exceeded
estimates. The work has been remark
ably free from losa of life through acci
dents. But the engineers tried an experiment
with axcaVating m -bines that proved
useless in tunnel work. Delay and the
cost of operating and securing the ma
chines are the only charges to be made
against this plan.
It Is not the Increased cost but the
question of practicability that Interests
railroad men. The Northern Pacific ls
completing a belt line running from Ren
ton to WoodlnUllo that will give the road
a line about Lake Washington. This, line
gives a new outlet to the north and it
is claimed by Northern Pacific traffic of
ficials that this lino will not only be used
for freight but passenger trains. If the
Northern Pacific flnda It advisable to
abandon the proposed use of the tunnel
for a longer route that circles Lake
Washington, railroad men are skeptical
of the great value to the Great Northern
of the big bore.
Tunnels are one of Hill's hobbles and
the Seattle plan was agreed upon just
after the successful completion of the
Cascade tunnel. It will certainly have the
effect of removing a congested traffic
from the water front whether or not It
has any advantage over other plans sug
gested for the same purpose. Passengers,
though, will be landed in the extreme
southern part of the city to make their
way up town as best they may.
It is Just about as convenient to con
duct a correspondence between persons
In Portland and Seattle, 185 miles apart,
as between Seattle and Tacoma, 36 miles
distant. A letter and an answer can pass
between Portland and Seattle as quickly
as between the two Sound cities. Yet
there Is an hourly passenger service on
an electric line between Seattle and Ta
coma and a number of boats that add
to the service the Northern Pacific gives.
This curious postal complication arises
from the fact that the Government has
been unable to come to an agreement with
the Puget Sound Electric Company, which
operates the lnterurban electric trains.
The lnterurban officials refuse to handle
mall at the rate of 3 cents per pound,
which is the only figure the Government
will quote. The electric road officials de
clare they do not want to be bothered
with the mall in any circumstance and
they insist upon higher pay If they con
sider the matter.
The rather strained relations between
postal authorities and the electric road
is Illustrated by the recent award of a
star-route contract here. The electric road
was Induced to make an offer to handle
the mall from Seattle to Foster and Riv
erside, new lnterurban postofflces. The
postal authorities rejected the road's
termB and has Just awarded a contract
for handling the mail from Black River
at a price higher than the electric road
would have charged.
Until the lnterurban people agree to
handle mall at all stations along the line
and the postal authorities are willing to
pay a higher rate the Puget Sound deliv
ery system will not be materially im
proved Just as an illustration of the way it
works this la given: Suppose a letter to
be mailed tonight In Seattle to a Port
land correspondent. It would reach Port
land In the morning and be delivered
promptly. An answer promptly mailed
would be in the postofflce shortly after
10 P. M. the following day and delivered
in the morning. A. letter mailed to a Ta
coma correspondent would not be deliv
ered In Tacoma a minute earlier than the
Portland letter. The answer would be
picked up by an earlier train, but it
would reach the Seattle postfflce too Jate
for delivery that day and would lie over
and go out with the answer coming from
the Portland letter, Reverse conditions
and they are practically the same.
It is a rather peculiar situation that
the Iosaquah coal strike presents. The
men at that mine struck because the com
pany would not give work to Its Grand
Ridge employes. The Grand Ridge mine
had been closed down because- the men
would not accept a new wage scale. No
attempt was made to fill their places, and
no strike was declared. But until the com-
t pony agrees to allow the XaMquah mis
ers to share their work which in the
Summer is very light with the Grand
Ridge miners the Issaquah men will not
return to work. The company Is not con
cerned, for it deals almost entirely with
house trade and that is dull.
By the way, there Is a strike on at the
Seattle Electric Company's Renton mines
that has passed unnoticed on the Sound.
Together with the labor troubles at Issa
quah the Renton troubles constitute a
menace which coal operators regard with
apprehension. At least one big corpora
tion has deferred extensive Improvement
work until the spirit of unrest among the
miners Is settled. This company operates
six mines.
The Renton strike grows out of an ef
fort made by the company to change the
manner of working the mine. It would in
volve a reduction of wages and miners
could average, under the proposed change,
about 53 per day. Notice of this change
was given last December but the men
would not accept the change on July 1
when It was to go Into effect. They were
locked out. Unless the change can be
made the company will not reopen the
mine, for the electric company uses
screenings that can be purchased more
cheaply elsewhere than could be mined
under old conditions at the company's
own mine at Renton.
Kitsap County Democrats, in a hopeless
minority, have Issued a call for a mass
convention to be held In Bremerton on
Thursday, July 1. The convention will
elect fle delegates and five alternates to
the Belllngham fState Convention.
The reorganization of the Interstate Red
Cedar Shingle Company, which starred
out at the beginning of the year to con
trol the shingle market of the state, will
not be attempted before the end of Sum
mer. The company collapsed under the
pressure from a listless market and each
mlllman has quoted his own prices. While
Ihe market has improved by 15 to 20 cents
per thousand over the quotatidns of May,
the committee In charge of the reorgani
zation of the shingle selling company will
not proceed with the task.
As a matter of fact the promoters of
the company want the mlllmen who broke
down the combine to become disgusted
with a reign of low prices. Then a hard
and fast contract will be submitted to
hold them In a solid selling organization.
The original scheme of combination,
which gave no place to jobbers or whole
salers in the organization, will be adhered
to In the reorganization. The shingles
will, however, be marketed through the
wholesalers.
Considerable trouble Is being experi
enced in Seattle with figures that indicate
the present population of the city. After
the school census was completed, through
a recanvasfi of certain districts to gather
names that might have been omitted and
bring up the total as much as possible,
the officials of the School Board an
nounced that the old ratio of 6 to 1 could
no longer apply to Seattle and that 6& to
1 should apply. Under this Interpretation
a population of 155,000 Is figured. The
other day one of the dally papers asserted
a claim to a population of 145,000, and
Polk's directory has It figured that Seat
tle Iff. entitled to 143,757.
OBJECT TO DENNISTON.
Ticket-Scalper Unwelcome to Traffic
Agents' Association.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 9. (Special.)
Because the first district. Pacific Coast
Association of Traffic Agents elected A.
B. C. Dennlston, Seattle manager of Ot
tlnger's ticket brokerage house, as an
honorary member of the association, A. D.
Chariton, assistant general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific; S. Gardner
Yerkes, general western passenger agent
of the Great Northern, E. J. Coyle, as
sistant general passenger agent of the
Canadian Pacific, and A. L. Craig, gen
eral passenger agent of the O. R. & N.,
together with most of the passenger offi
cials of these lines, submitted their resig
nations at today's meeting of the organ
ization. Most of the railroad men connected with
these lines and the Southern Pacific re
fused to attend tonight's business session
of the first district, holding that as their
resignations were on file they could not
act with other members. The resignation
of these officials amounted to an ulti
matum that Dennlston must leave the or
ganization and his resignation was pre
sented and accepted tonight.
Dennlston was elected because he was
formerly general Western passenger agent
for the Great Northern. He was objected
to because all the transcontinental lines
are making a fight against the ticket
scalpers, not only of the Coast, but
throughout the country. Dennlston left
the Great Northern to go into the scalp
ing business, and the railroad men would
not permit him to belong to the Traffic
Agents' Association. He waa elected at
the Portland meeting In June.
HIS NEIGHBOKS CELEBBATE.
Esopus Turns Out In Recognition of
Parker's Nomination.
ESOPUS, N. Y., July 9 The report that
Judge Parker has sent word to his friends
In St. Louis that he demurred to the plat
form devoid of the gold plank reached
here tonight Just as the Esopus people
were preparing to celebrate the nomina
tion. Dispatches setting forth the situa
tion at St. Louis were shown to Judge
Parker, but he refused to make the slight
est comment on them. At almost the same
hour the steam pacht Sapphire anchored
In front of Rosemont. and Joe B. McDon
ald and Judge E. P. Hatch, of New York,
were landed. They climbed the hill to
Rosemount, and while Judge Hatch
ohatted with Mrs. Parker, Mr. McDonald
erheld a long conversation with Judge
Parker.
What might be his errand could not
be learned, but It Is certain that the
yacht, early this afternoon, made quick
time up the river, delayed only by stops
at one or two points, where telephone
communication was possible.
AH Esopus and vicinity turned out to
night to do honor to Judge Parker, and in
special recognition of his nomination, In
which all citizens of the community, re
gardless of politics, take great pride.
The village was gaily attired In its best
and was illuminated with lanterns, flags,
bunting, torches and red Are. A pro
cession was formed In the main street and
marched down to Rosemount.

brakes on the car when said car was
sent out.
Bryan Will Vote the Ticket.
ST. LOUIS, July 9. When asked to

Secretary of Interior Will Investigate
the Conduct, of Men in Charge of
Reservations and Other Places
as Soon as Possible.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, D. C, July 9. Notwithstanding
the fact that additional charges are being
received at the Interior Department re
garding employes of Indian schools and
reservations In Oregon and Washlnton,
no Investigation has et been made, owing
to the shortage of inspection officials. All
the Inspectors save one are busy In the
Indian Territory. It develops that this
Inspector is inactive by order of Secretary
Hitchcock; otherwise there would not bo
an Inspector available for duty In the
Northwest. Last August Inspector Arthur
M. Tinker, of Massachusetts, was recom
mended by Hitchcock for dismissal, and
the President was about to carry out the
recommendation when Senator Lodge In
terposed an objection. At Lodge's request
the President declined to dismiss Tinker,
but Hitchcock told the President he had
no confidence whatever In the man and
would not entrust him with any Govern
ment work.
Tinker refused to resign, and Lodge
stuck by hlip. with the result that he con
tinues drawing his full salary 52500 per
year although he has done nothing for
nearly a year. He la now at his home in
Massachusetts.
