RATE WAR PROBABLE
Wisconsin Central Makes
. Troublesome Eates. '
OTHER ROADS MUST MEET THEM
It the Wisconsin Central Does Not Yield
to Influence tbe Fight Will
Become General
Chicago, Nov. 20. At a meeting to
day of the Chicago-St. Paul roads with
the members of the executive committee
of the Western Passenger Association,
the strongest kind of pressure was
brought to bear on the Wisconsin Cen
tral to induce it to witdraw the , rates it
made yesterday, but ud to a late hour it
had not withdrawn. It was admitted at
the meeting. that, if the Wisconsin Cen
tral and the other roads that met its re
duction cannot be induced to restore
rates, it is more than likely . that , there
will he a general rate war over the West,
and particularly in the territory of the
Western Passenger Association.
An Immigration Question.
New Yobk, Nov. 20. Tbe agreement
which has been entered into between the
railroads and Atlantic steamship lines
for the purpose of regulating emiiiigrants
fares is the most far-reaching combina
tion of tbe kind ever organized in this
country. In tbe first place it takes la
sot only all the transatlantic steamship
companies, but the coastwise lines as
far south as the Gulf of Mexico and
north to Halifax, thereby rendering it
impossible for rates to be demoraliced so
far as the ocean companies are con
cerned. One of the ticket scalpers' chief sources
of revenue is now cut off, and railroads
the country over agree to turn over a
"fat" commission of ten per cent to the
Bteamsbip companies by virtue of the
latter refusing to have any further deal
ings with outside agents. It means an
end to demoralization, and a tightening
of the screws along the line. ,,
The Initiative was taken by the West
ern Passenger Association, which has
been the leading factor in the struggle
with the outside agents, trunk lines and
steamship lines that have been going on
for years. For a long time the leading
ticket agents were unable to influence
two or three Western roads, so that it
was impossible to make any ironclad
agreement.
The trunk lines in the future will
route all immigrants for points beyond
the joint traffic gateway, according to
the instructions given by the represent
atives of the Western lines. The Cana
dian Pacific and Southern Pacific, which
have been the chief disturbing factors to
the combination, have signed the" agree
ment and entered heartily, into the new
arrangements.

Londgiog Hease Robberies In Tacoma.
Tacoma, Nov. 20. Quite a number of
robberies have occurred in the lodging
houses of late, which would indicate that
a gang of second-story workers are op
erating here. Several robberies from
rooms have been reported.
In one case the amount stolen was
large, and in another instance a man
lost $20 and a watch and chain. The
money taken in the first, named case has
been recovered. The police are asking
that more lights be put on the back
streets, as they claim crooks can easily
work in :he back ends of . stores as the
alleys are poorly lighted.
Several hold-ups have occurred in the
outskirts of town, but-eo far small losses
are reported.
A New l'asa llscoverel.-
San Francisco, Nox. 20. Details have
been received from the Pierre Humbert
Alaskaa exploring expedition, which
sailed from Seattle October 15th. The
party is located 10 miles up the river
from Chilkat inlet. The i country has
been surveyed on both sides of the river,
and tbe explorers have already located a
pass oyer the range 2540 feet lower than
either Chilkat or Cbilkoot. A perfectly
feasible and easy rote for a railroad into
the valley of .the Yukon has been dis
covered. '
The three-year-old boy of J. A. John

vere attack, saved his boy's life. . ' He is
in the drug business, a member of the
firm of Johnson Bros., ot that place, and
they handle a great many patent med
icines for throat and lung diseases. He
had all these to select from, and skilled
physicians to answer to his call, but se
lected this remedy for use in his own
home at a time when his boy's life was
in danger, because he knew it to be su
perior to any other, and famous the
country oyer for its cures of the croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling
cough medicine they handle, and that
gives splendid satisfaction in all cases.

Chilkoot Road and Tramway.
Tacoma, Nov. 20. T. B. Wallace,
president of . the Fidelity bank, of Ta
coma, returned here yesterday from
Dyea. He is largely interested in the
Chilkoot Railway and Transportation
Company, which is building a railroad
and aerial tramway from Dyea over
Chilkoot to Lake Lindemann. 'He says
the railway will be completed by the
middle of December, and that the whole
line including the aerial tramway, will
be in operation by January 15th. It
will have the capacity of carrying the
outfits of 400 men daily. Mr. Wallace
says this will insure getting provisions
to Dawson City not later than March
1st, and precludes the possibility of a
famine in Dawson. ..The company has
completed its telephone line from Dyea
to Sheep Cam p. ;
Stands at tbe Head.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, r La., says: "Dr. . King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my eough, and it isthe best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr.King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed for it ; it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. .1 cannot
say enough for its merits." JDr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury, and today stands at the head. It
ne?er disappoints. Free trial battles at

Klondike and Prosperity.
Tacoma, Nov. 20. A mining machine
manufacturer, who is on the coast in the
interest of his bouse, said that the boom
up north had given such an iupetua to
bis business that his plant is running
day and night to try and catch up with
the orders, while his works were closed
entire during '95 and '96.
This encouraging condition of affairs,
he said, is due not entirely to the Klon
dike, but a general restoration of con
fidence of the public in the future pros
perity of the nation.

Oregon City, Nov. 20. Mayor E. G,
Can field has replied to the call present
ed to him to become a candidate for re
election in a card saying:
"If the citizens of Oregon City, in con
vention assembled., think proper, to
place my name'in nomination for mayor
I will accept the-same."
It is considered probable that a pub
lic convention will be called during the
