Eleventh aud Duanc St. It is Told Where the Money Is. EXPENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS Of AH Kinds Being Made on the Northern Pacific Lino Through outTrain Length Will he Doubled. A newspaper correspondent In St. Paul has succeeded In getting from the North ern Pacific the first statement of the nature and extent of the great, costly improvements being made on that prop erty. Improvements recently completed, un der process of completion or about to be begun Involve an outlay of enough mil lions to build a pretty good lltue ruad, and these are all undertaken In the Inter ests of ultimate economy not Immediate necessity. The Northern Pacific and equipment is first class, unexcelled by any In the West, and has never been allowed to retrograde to any noticeable extent. Present Improvements are by no means rendered compulsory because of contin ued deterioration, as many people unac quainted with the property suppose. Were this the case Mr. Hill would not want to shoulder the burden. Public attention Is directed towards the Northern 'Pacific these days more than towards any other road In the country, and people desire to know Just what improvements are being made and why. In the first place grades are being re duced to such an extent as to double the present train length. This grading Is now In progress on two divisions In Montana and the authority of the receiv ers has ben asked for additional work of a similar character extending over several other divisions. In fact, the com pany expects to continue this work throughout all divisions of the road, the entire cost thereof being over 31,000,000. Then the work of making permanent all 'bridges wherever possible, which has been In progress during the past few yeans, has been continued, and forty two lineal miles of lumber and trestle bridges have been permanently disposed of by filling and securing a permanent embankment, with the result of very greatly decreasing operating expenses. Chief Engineer McHunry states that the two principal trestles crossing the deep ravines In the lines crossing the Rocky mountain summit will be re placed during the present year by steel viaducts of modern design and construc tion, for which contracts have already been let. The only remaining lumber trestles there, three In number, will be filled In during the ensuing year, thus reducing greatly danger to life and prop erty by fire or wrecks. It Is Intended to eliminate all of the numerous timber trestles in the Cascade mountains on both sides of the summit tunnel by per manent embankments, work on which has been In progress the past two years. This work is novel' In character, and Is described by the chief engineer as fol lows: "The material Is removed and deposited In place by the hydraulic Jets and slulc; lng material through flumeB. Five large trestles have already been filled by this means. This process, as adopted by us, Is entirely new to railroading men. When we are through we expect to havo as fine a roadbed as any west of Chicago and one of the finest In the United States." In addition, a number of the more In portant bridges have been replaced by permanent structures of steel and mason ry. Permanent lining has been provided for all the great tunnels. Instead of timber, Portland . concrete fills the sides. while the arch is formod of hard burned bricks, six rings thick. This work Is very costly, but has been pushed so vigorously mac tne present year win see the com pletion of botli of the Summit tunnels, piercing the axes of the Rocky moun tain and Cascade ranges. Work Is now In progress on minor tunnels and will be prosecuted steadily until completed. All the tunnels are being lighted by electric ity, as ore European tunnels. The company has constructed some modern coaling stations, the principal one being now at Fargo, which is the Ingeni "'is Invention of Chlof Engineer Mc Ilenry. This device has attracted a great deal of attention and favorable comment from the world of railroading, ana nas previously been described by this paper. A coal bunker Is being erected ot Tacoma to supply the growing demand for coal at that point. "All these Improvements." says General Manager Kendrlck, "will save, we think, nunareas of thousands of dollars an nually In maintenance alone, to say noth ing of Increased safely and Immunity from losses by delays. The money Is profitably spent. The Northern Paclflti lays this year 200 miles of steel." . "PAP" JENNINGS DEAD. Disowned by His Family He- is Burled in the Potter's Field. Spokane, Sept. 13. Old "Pap" Jennings, who died In old age and squalor In .a shack here last night, was at one time a prominent citizen of Oregon. His son Charles was a steamboat captain on the Willamette river. He leaves other chil dren well connected. The old man has been on the down grade of recent years, it Is said, bis fam ily disowned him. He has eked out a precarious living here by doing chores for the French courtesans. It waa said by Oregon people here that Mrs. Frank Hodgklns, of Salem, was his daughter. Acting on this Information the under taker telegraphed to her asking what disposition to make of the body. It seems this was an error, though, for the tele graph compiny reported back that she declined to accept the message, saying It was not meant for her. The old:, man will be burled In the potter's field. HUSBAND VALUED AT U.000. Test Case Decided In the Franklin Mine Fire. Seattle, Sept. 13.

Louisville, Sept. 13.-iAt the G. A. R. encampment today the matter of interest was the adoption of a resolution favoring the placing of flags on every public build ing and the introduction of a military drill In the public school curriculum. The camp further declared Itself against long parades and marches of encamp ments in future. Resolutions were adopted asking con gress to make an annual appropriation to defray the expenses of conducting memorial1 day services in national ceme teries. The report of the committee on pensions was similar to that of last year and was adopted. "We demand for our comrades their Just dues, which the country gladly con cedes. No niggardly cutting down of pensions, under the guise of reissues; no partial and grudging allowances that cut here and there, will meet with the full measure of duty that the country owes to her surviving heroes. Nothing short of full measure, dealt with' an honest hand and liberal heart, will meet with the approbation of the American people." ' H. B. Compson was named aa a mem ber of the council of administration from Oregon. FROM VICTORIA. "Me and Bill' Drowned In Hawaii While Smuggling. Victoria, IB. C, Sept. 13.

The feat ure of the financial1 situation has been the liability of the treasury gold to de. pletlon, This Influence has asserted Itself In a very unpleasant way, the strength and confidence the market had exhibited for eeverail weeks giving place to a general liquidation and decline In prices.

The latter dropped her shopping bag and said: "Oh, my gra cious!" i Two more women stopped and a curious Morrlsania citizen. "Tell that man to go away," cried Mr. Morrison.

Mrs. Smith, wife of Superintendent Smith of the waterworks, and Miss Uello Cleveland, were out driving and In go ing around the curve In the street at the mill attempted to cross the track- Jusv then a car coming front the opposite di rection turned the corner and despite the efforts made by the motor nian, who shut off the power and applied the brakes as soon as he saw the buggy on the track, the car ran Into the buggy, considerably damaging it and throwing the occupants to the ground. The ladles did not hear the warning bell of the car, because of the noise of the mill and owing to their position on the track and the shape of the street Just at that paint It was Im possible to get out of the way. The motor man did everything In his power ti. avert the disaster and succeeded In greatly reducing the speed of the car. Mrs. Smith suffered a slight bruise over the eye, otherwise no Injuries were re ceived. Mr. and Mrs. Smith both called at the Astorlan otltee last night and stated that they entirely exonerated the street car company from any blame In the matter, Mr. Smith Baying that she considered It very careless In herself at tempting to drive across the track Just at that particular place, Instead of con tinuing on the samo side until after rounding the curve.
