vho do not. the club has arranged for a
four-hor*e plcnU wagon to connect with
the Edison cars. Should the weather clerk
t>e *o hind as to provide a pleasant day. a
large and representative gathering of Ta
comans will attend.
A tolcycle moot will be given May ® un
der the auspices of the T. A. C.. to con
sist of seven events, as follows: Quarter
mtje. flying start, against time; half mile;
mil#; two-mile open; mile tandem, open;
handicap; five-mile handicap.
It was Intended to Include In the pro
gramme two professional races, but thi#
was dropped. The meet will be pulled off
at the Eleventh street grounds, which are
being placed in fine condition. The lads
to wear the re 4 and whits colors will be
Dow. McCoy. Howe. Burkman. Von
Boeckllg. Cotter. Cooper and Bartholo
mew. who was one of the fastest ama
teurs In the Northwest last year. It Is
the intention of this flyer to Join the pro
fessional ranks after these races. In which
cass he will be given an opportunity to
show Just how fsst he can ride. Of the
ethers. Cotler and Cooper are the fastest
and should famish a good second and
third to Bartholomew. The meet take*
place the same day as the T. M. C. A.
games In Seattle. This the T. A. C. be
lieve* to be unfortunate, but unavoidable,
as the sanctions were secured from differ,
ent sources for the same day without th«
knowledge of either institution. The Se
attle T. M. C. A- secured Its sanction from
the P. N. A. at the schedule meeting In
Seattle March 13. and the T. A. C m*de
application to R. M. Welch. San Fran
cisco. of the racing board, for a bicycle
sanction on the same date. Club membra
consider the unavoidable clash In dates
doubly unfortunates for the reason that
the club's best track men will compete
at the T. M. C. A. meet, thus causing
them to miss either one or the other of
the m*ets.
The T. A. C. win have a strong tra' k

"I am portirulsrtr imp r wlth _tha
great opportunities of the ttimber ir.<lu*

ply repaid for having made the trip. This
morning I vis! led the plant of the St.
ft TSroma Lumber <S)«W»T. an< * .!? !?
met an old friend. Mr Orlggs prwldent
of the concern, who Is also one of the pro
prietors of a plant formerly owned bym>-
self and others in Wisconsin. The meet
ing with Mr. Griggs was an additional
pleasure, and also a fortunate
stance, as It gave a better opportunity or
looking about the mill. The thing that as
tonished me most was the Immensity or
the logs that are daily cut Into lumber-
Why, there was one log that cut l._W'J* 1
of lumber, which I would bare '"I
credible had 1 not witnessed it. In our
country we would cut On an a.ersge or
from twenty to twenty-two logs to w««
i.m feet. Quite S difference, leait it.
Next to this big log. Which. Ism tPjd. Is
quite ordinary, the most wonderful thing
was the pond-rous machinery ana tps Ms
law :hat ripe through such monster logs
with apparently little effort.
"The people up here do not seem to .e
--alise tr.e grand JJF
the lumber huslneas, sn< the tutury^there
is in store for the Industry. I sm tojfl that
there is enough timber land to thl* state

Than your people will awaken to the fa t

little thought Of except by those with
foresight and belief In the future,
the time comes for the world s consumer« i
of lumber to look toward WfsWngton for
their supply, the railroads will extend their
tracks and reach out for the business.
Then towns will spring up In Places that
are now mountain fastnesses, and instead
of the song of the wild bird and the moan
ing of the wind, the scream of the loco
motlve whistle and the whirring of the
sawmill will be heard. Then It Is that your
nature-favored state will take her rank
with the richest In the land.
"There is one thing I am surprised at.
though, and that is that some of your
larre lumber concern* do not keep an ac
ttv* representative In European countries.
While abroad last year I heard consider
able about American lumber, and could
not help but think of the magnificent
trade that could be secured If It was prop
erly handled. Timber is very scarce over
there, and of a quality in no manner the
equal of ours. At Liverpool I saw a quan
tity of your native product that was bring
ing the very top prices. It was part of a
cargo taken around the Horn. This con
vinced me that with a fair rate of trans
portation an<* with wide-awake represen
tatives In that country, an enormous trade
could he secured. ...
"On my way up from California I kept
a sharp lookout for "Oregon pine,' to see if
tt was like our pine. I found that It
was not the same, the greatest difference
being in the thickness of the bark, which
is much greater In Washington timber than
In Wisconsin and Michigan. Another thins
1 noticed is that the mitlmen here cut their
timber longer than we do In Wisconsin
and those states.
"I have had considerable experience In
the lumber business, and feel competent
to make these assertions, although I am
not now actively engaged In the business,
my attention being confined to the leather
business This* is setting to be a great
business In this country.

to visit Waahlngton later In the year, with
a view of Investment.

TACOMA. May #.~The family row that
has been on In this city for the past few
weeks between Ovtl Service Commissioner
TVata and Chief of Police H«|e, In which
a flaß of truce was finally raised and the
hatchet apparently buried, has had the
effect of attracting the attention of that
class of light-fingered gentry known as
the knljrht* of the Jimmy. It Is believed
by many cltlmens that Saturday niaht's
trick, the burglarizing of the handsome
Blanchard home In the north end. In
which three men held up two ladies at
the point of guns, securing H'lo In coin. Is
but the forerunner of other burglaries,
the thieve* taking the cue from the re
cent expose of the inadequacy of the
police department. The section of town
In which the burglary was committed Is
where moat of the fashionables live, many
of tha homes being handsome and pre
tentious establishments. Only one police
oflWr i* de'alied on the beat, which natu
rally affords the burglars an excellent op
portunity to operate. With harmony e*-
Is'ing In the department and between the

STABBED UNDER HIS HEART
Jaee IroMi Receives Three Dan
gerous Cats Front Jaek Sextos
—Me May Die.
An Italian named Jose Brossl was prob
atoly fatally stabbed by a rough charac
ter named Jack Sexton at S o'clock this
morning in a tenement room occupied by
Brossi. over the rear of a building on
Sixth avenue south, between Jackson
and King streets. Sexton demanded
money, and on Brossi's refusal to give it
to him stabbed him three times with a
large dirk knife.
Brossi is an Italian vegetable, peddler,
a young man probably about 30 years of
age. In the building are quite a num
ber of small rooms occupied by men who
"bach," and one family also occupies
a room. Entrance to these rooms is ob
tained by a narrow, steep and dark stair
way which leads up from Sixth avenue
south, and the tenement rooms all open
on a narrow balcony, overhanging a court.
Sexton had been drunk and aggressive
during the early part of th« evening.
Shortly before the stabbing he visited an
elderly woman living in the neighborhood,
and exhibited a dirk clasp knife in a very
threatening manner.
Shortly after he was heard to enter
Brossi's room. Brossi was in bed, clad
only in his shirt. In a few moments the
other tenants of the building heard an
altercation in the room, and then a cry
from Brossi that he was stabbed. Sexton
rushed out of the room and down the
stairs and made his escapo.
Brossi was found lying on the floor,
covered with Wood, with a deep stab cn
his left side below the heart, one in hla
back and a slash across the forehead. His
watch and money were gone. The police
are hot on Sexton's trail and expect his
arrest early this morning.

Washington special say*: The Peruvian
government after May 10 will cease the

SPOKANE. May The local members
of the national guard have decided to
maintain their organizations, making up
the amount required over the slight state
appropriation by contributions. Company
B. infantry, is still allowed $25 per month,
barely enough to pay armory rent. Bat

Capt. A. H. Otis, of the latter organiza

"We have determined to keep up the or
ganization at our own expense, if neces
sary, in the hope of getting the money
back from the state at some future time.
I cannot understand the action of the leg
islature in reducing the appropriation to
16.000. The military tax of 2 mills is re
tained and will produce a revenue of $60,000
per annum."

CINCINNATI, May 9.—The Com me re i il-
Trlbune's special from Lexington, Ky.,
says:
Capt. Strong, leader of the faction that
bore his name in the Strong-Amos and
Strong-Callahan feuds, which have cost
more than fifty lives in Breathitt county,
was found on the roadside near hi* home
today shot to death, with seven bullets in
his body. Two weeks ago he met Ed Cal
lahan, leader of the opposing faction, in
Judge Day's office atiJackscn, where tucy
shook hands and declared the feud ended.
Strong was 72 years old and was a cap
tain In the Federal army. After the war
the Amos family and their friends tried
to exterminate Strong and hi* friends.
They besieged Strong In his house three
days, when Strong's nephew. with a dosen
other soldiers, came to his rescue.
A few nights afterward Strong and his
men met the Amos faction in an open
meadow in the moonlight. A fierce battle
ensued, in which one of the Amos faction
was killed and several wo&nded. Only
one of Strong's men was wounded.
The Amos family removed to Kansas
after several more of thetr men were
killed. When the Klu-Klux arose in
Breathitt county last year Capt. Strong
denounced them in unmeasured terms,
and when it was told to him that the Cal
lahans were the leaders he made war on
them. In this three men have been kill
ed. and the authorities, realizing that
Breathitt county would furnish another
bloody mountain v,ar, summoned the
leaders on both sides to appear before
County Judge Day, with the result that
peace was supposed to have been :e
--stored.
Strong's friends will never rest until
his murder is avenged.
