and all news of the new townsltes to
be located and the stations named on
the new lines Is denied by railroad of
ficials. After the towns have been
named by the railroad, the officials
atate, the public will be on the same
tooting regarding townsite speculations
To some extent this is true. The rail
road Itself and the railroad officials will
not be parties to townsite speculations
but It Is impossible In the extensions of
new lines to keep the location of all
new towns from those who make an
effort to learn. Too many people must
necessarily know of the road's Inten
tion, and it is probable the new towns'
locations will will all be known baton
they are announced by the railroad.
Then, too, the town lot speculator could I
Jocate the new stations by following the
road's work. Preparations must be
made for stations and sidetracks at
townsltes.
Theie will be a few towns of Import
ance to be located on the Palmer cut
off. They will be principally small sta
tions for farmers to ship to and from.
A few good towns will be settled along
the twenty-two miles between Palmer
and Auburn. The location of these
towns has been practically decided up
on, dui not an oi mem nave rx-en

await the completion of the grade at

Even after the tracks are laid it will
require more than two weeks' time to
put the track In condition for bringing
transcontinental trains into Twoma

yet to set even an approximate date
when the track will be turned over to
the operating department, but It may
be ever later than February 1.

morning. Captain Clapp has been in i

Captain Clark remarked yesterday on)
the wonderful growth of the trade of
the Islands durin.T the past few years.
Everything the people war has tsj
be Imported, a? well m machinery and
manufactured goods, while coal is al-
most as valuable as diamonds. There:
are Immense sugar plantations that.
use up a large amount of coal, and
since the war in the Philippines and
the annexation of the Islands by the
United States, great quantities of coal
are shipped there for the use of war
ships and transports, enroute to the
seat of war.
There are now loading in Puget
sound for the Hawaiian Islands nine
vessels, which are taking on cargoes of
coal and lumber, and to show the Im
mense amount of freight which Is be
ing shipped there It Is necessary but
to mention that the tonnage on the
way Includes:
New York, ,571 bona; Norfolk, 1.477;
Bremen, 2.478; Hong Kong, 2,12; Liv
erpool, 5,272; London, Ml; Newcastle,

rate ports, 2,174; Sydney, 2,147; Tientsin,
1,452; Weatport, New Zealand, 499;
Yokohama, 2,106, making a total, not
counting the ships loading on Puget
sound, of 2.Si tops.
Coal is shipped to the Islands from
Tacoma, Departure bay. Australia andj
Norfolk, Virginia, and still there Is al
moat a coal famine there. The great,
est difficulty the ships have Is getUng a
return cargo, as sugar Is the principal
product, and an there are no refineries i
In the islands, the raw material must
be chipped to some port which has a

Some weeks ago a gentleman left a

she might appropriate It to her own
use. She wrote again to express her
appreciation. He replied to express his
appreciation. She retaliate! with an,
expression of h-r appreciation of hls

At the present time the expression Of

Tacoma Ledger.
There Is talk among shipping men
along the waterfront about a dirtct
steamship line which Is to be establish
ed letween some point on the Pacific
coast and Vlodlvostoek, Sib Tla, the
terminus of the trans-Siberian railway.
It is expected the road will be com
pleted with the next year, and the
project will then take definite shape.
It is said the Russian government will
lend aid to the scheme.
Tacoma, being the terminus of a
transcontinental railroad, as well as
the starting point of .in Oriental line,
is in direct line of the new system, os
shipments could Ik- made by rail from
St. Petersburg to Vladlvostock, then
by water to Tacoma and overland to
New York, for less money, and make
the trip in shorter time than by ship
ping across the Atlantic.
The new road Is 8,000 miles long,
taps a virgin country, which will prove
a veritable Klondike for American
products, and '.he port that succeeds
In being made the connecting link In
this great commercial chain will be
come the New Vork of the Pacific.
