Captain Christiansen of tha - Nor

of Ocean Islands are rapidly becoming
civilised. Of 1.600 three fourths have
accepted civilisation,' whereas a few
years ago navigators steered clear of
the islands beoauee of fear of falling
prey to the aavages, which soma said
at that time were cannibals.
But there are no cannibals there to

- The graft prosecution has been In
formed that the practice of extorting
money from the United Railroads had
been frequent with th municipal admin
latratlon for many years. When the
United Rallroada first took over'' Its
San Francisco properties one of tha first
acta of the corporation Is said to have
been th payment of a large sura of
money to Ruef for his good twill and
protection. The exact amount - which
was paid at that time la .not known.
but It was not sufficient to Insure the
corporation against future efforts on the
part of th curly boea and-his puppets
In -office to extract 'money from the
United Railroads. . ,
ald for Police Protection. ,
- Every favor granted the eornoratlon
by the municipal authoritlea'durlng the
last five yeara had been well paid for
and soma of th largest contributions to
the grafters exchequer are said to have
been mad for police protection during
ur carmen s striae.

that tha grand Jury will .be able to

Waahlnrton, D. C April It All th

abolished by the new regulations which
go into effect today. Tha new order of

a view to harmonising the various parts
of tile son and making mora effective
the machinery of government The five
municipal governments are replsced by
four administrative districts whloh will
be under the direct control of the canal

On board tba Blldra are four little
plga as black as the proverbial ace of
spades and with snouts much longer
than those ordinarily carried by the
plgglea of thla country. The SUdra's
pen contained eight inmates whan aha
left ' the Islands, but when near the
Hawaiian islands a quartet fell ao
deeply- in love with the green sboree
that could plainly be aeen irom me i
poop deck that they leaped overooara
and swam ashore.
The big tramp was stopped and a
boat lowered. The sailors reaohed shore
after a long and hard pull but did not
regain poeaeaalon of the. pigs because
ths natives had already captured them
and they would not give them up ex
cept upon tha payment of salvage.
Their claim was ao high that the sailors
anally concluded to let the plga remain,
veto. I am satisfied to let the bill be
come a law because I know that within
a few months tt will become ao obnox
ious to the publto that It wilt have to
ba rescinded. The old laws will have
to be amended or a new law passed
within four weeks after tha action of

sumed In effect that water competition
has no vital affect In determining the
through rat from Chicago to Portland.
Indications are that the Sookan at
torneys will depend for suocess mainly
upon a showing they may m able to
make that tha present railroad compan
ies are largely over-valued for the pur
pose of making a high basis for freight
rates, and that these railroads could
today.be reconstructed at a cost that
would permit much lower'TrOlght "rates
nd fair dividends. Th vital point to
Portland commercial Interests, - In any
auch showing. Is to maintain the natural
advantage poeaesaed by thla city in hav
ing water competition by ahlps around
the Horn," and also by water and rail
competition via tha Tehauntepeo rail
way and th American-Hawaiian steam
ship line, and other ateamshlp companies
operating via Panama.
Tt Is said that whatever railroad rate
Spokane may be able to secure from
Chicago to that elty, tba logical rat to
Portland must still be enough lower to
enable tha Portland dlatrlbutor to ship
to this terminal from Chicago
and then add- the local rats to Spokane,
and land his goods at the latter point as
cheaply as they oould be sent direct
from Chicago to Spokane. To admit of
any other result would. It is aald. be to
overturn the whole theory of rats mak
ing upon which th commerce of the
country has been built up. ' , .
E. 1. Pterson, chief engineer of th

ory to show th original coat of the
Northern Paclfle and the cost of repro
ducing it today. No exact figures were
given and nothing was brought out to
show the total coat per mile, m
- Mr. - Pterson - was for 11 years em
ployed as engineer or superintendent on
the Northern Paclflo lines, prior to his

ent construction work, ties are coating

cent a, there being required about 1,000
cubic yards of ballast for the main line
and 1,100 yards for branch lines; track-
laying, 7(0 per mile. Including construe.
tlon train service. He estimated that a
transcontinental Una Is at . present
spending 11,100 to 11,100 per mile an
nually for repairs and improvement of
roadbed. Thla rate, he aald, would be
required for present traffic
In estimating the cost of a railroad
he did' not plac this amount In - th
cost, but would add it to th value of
th road, because of the greater, worth
of tha line from an operating stand
point year after year. Asked to state
what proportion of auch expenditure
should In 10 year be added to the value
of the road be aaid It .would not be the
entire amotmt that bad been expended
annually for repairs, that there would
be soma deterioration, but that he would
have to take time to figure It out
The Spokane attorneys attempted to
draw out definite figures aa to the, cost
of construction of th Milwaukee road,
which Is In Mr. Plerson's present charge,
but he refused to give technical Infor
mation without accurate data at hand to
refer to. He said th road would prob
ably use IS-pound rails. Its bridges
would be largely timbers, and its cul
verts wooded, and its total ooat would
be greater than that of th Northern
Pacific . - ,
Ths grading, tunneling and bridging,
exclusive of right of way and steel, In
Hellgate valley, from Missoula to Gar
rison, would average about 141,000 per
mile. On 11 miles on the west alope
of th Bitter' Root mountains, tha cost
would be $115,000 per mile. He could
give no estimate of the average coat of
the line clear through the country.
