tion against the wife had long since bet-a
harred. nothing remained but to present
the issue squarely that she was not a
necessary party. This was done. There
was no other Issue preacnted. The original
answer of Baxter filed in ISM admitted
that he was the owner, but John Wiley,
for the defense, put In an amended

acquired by the earnings of the com

much In the way of dollars and cents,

principals, who sat by their attorneys and
watched every Stage of the trial With t»n
ahated Interest, It was all about < learin*
and fencing some land. The plaintiff was
Frank Martin and the defendant was Da
vid Kaufman. Mr. Martin claimed that
Mr. Kaufman had employed him to csear
away the stumps and brush from certain
grounds In the Q. A. R. cemetery, and
had a*rre<d to pay him 195 tn proof of
this he cited a contract duly signed by
both men. He claimed that he had done
the work, and yet Mr. Kaufman had paid
him only s&*.&©
As a second ground of action, Martin
claimed that Kaufman had employed him
to grub and clear two strips of land on
each side of the cemetery, one fourteen
feet wide, the other fifteen, for which the
price i*iid was to be This am >unt lie
claims Is yet wholly unpaid
Martin urges still a third cause of ac
tion. alleging that Kaufman also em
ployed him to fence three sides of the
ground at an agreed price of 935, only part
of which has been paid.

City 's Favor.
John E. Chllberg arrived in the city last
evening after having cr.ir«p?eted the short
est of his many Journeys from Guatemala
City to Seattle. The actual time consum
ed tn travel was twelve days, although it
was exactly two weeks ago yesterday
that Mr. Chllberg left Guatemala City.
He lost one day In San Franctsco and one
day In Ban Jose, the two days completing
the period of two week* since his em
barkation.
"I came to San Francisco." said Mr.
Chilberg last night, when seen at his
home at 2fd Fifth avenue, "on ons of
the fast steamers that make but one stop
between San Jose de Guatemala and San
Francisco—that at Acapulco. I have gone
directly from Seattle on our own ship, the
Transit, to San Jo-»e rie Guatemala in
fourteen and a half day*, and that has
been considered good time. On the steam
er on which I came to San Francisco
there was also, as a pasaeager. Mrs. Yes
ler. who in California for a few
days, hut soon to be home.
"The Tran«l left Guatemala May 4. and
should arrive in Seattle by May 28. She
vrili bring a cargo of coffee for Victoria.
Seattle, San Francisco and Europe. Busi
ness is good In Guatemala, amd there is a
liberal demand for fiour and lumber as
well as miscellaneous manufactured arti
cles from this country. What we are wor
ried about now Is the fact th.tt we have
been compelled to refuse cargo already on
the down trip otf the Transit. There has
been a temporary depression in Central
America, owing to the Nlcaraguan revo
lution. but I believe that it is settled now.
and Salvador, which has suffered commer
cially, will be able to pick up again. They
are very anxious to have us extend our
service to Nicaragua ami Costa Rica,
which eventually we will do. In order to
do this, however, we will have to have an
other steamer.
"In speaking of the eoffe* that the
Transit is bringing. it eugg< ats Itself to
me that Seattle should handle the bulk of
the product from Guatemala. There is
room In this city for three or four houses
with 11. 600. t0t capital each, and a great
profit could be made. The eoffee now goes
to New York city by way of the isthmus,
and costs 120 per ton to deliver. It costs $2?»
per ton to deliver it In Chicago. If it were
handled in Seattle It could be laid down
In Chicago for >2O per ton. It would not
be necessary to go into territory tributary
to New York to find a market. There is
the business of Chlcafto and all of the vast
territory west. The I*uget Sound & Cen
tral American Steamship line can beat the
New York rate to Chicago by a quarter of
a cent a pound, and that Is a good profit.
We could even do better tHan that, if
necessary to meet competition, and still
make money. Much of the coffee now go-
Ing to the East is handled through San
Francisco. Seattle enjoys ocean and rail
competition, and we can reach Montreal
now as cheaply aa the rate given above for
Chicago.
"It is a great commercial matter, and
I firmly believe that some time Seattle,
with her superior advantages over S.*n
Francisco, will control It. &*n Francisco
is owned, and the legislature of California
is also owned and controlled by the South
ern Pacific railroad, and that operates
again** the city iu every way. There is
plenty of money there, but people are
afraid to risk It. The working classes
are not getting any of it, and there are
hard times and discontent down there.
San Francisco looks with envious eyes
upon the strides that Seattle is taking
commercially, and never overlooks a
chaneo to belittle this city and to put
stumbling blocks In the way of its ad
vancement. With three great railroad':,
lines of steamers In every direction, and
local railroads that Ud fair to become
parts of other great systems,* Seattle has
little to fear from any other city on the
Pacific coast."
In returning to matters concerning
Guatemala. Mr. Chliberg raid that there
are many Seattle men there, engaged In
all sorts of occupations and all of them
saying a g'*od word for the Queen city
whenever the opportunity offers. Mr.
N. Chliberg la returning to Seattle on the
Transit. He took down a sample lot of
a half dozen Berkshire pUr« The Guate
malans are anxious for blooded Ktock. and
have paid princely sums for carriage and
race horses. Mr. Chliberg spoke of the
poor .system of packing goods sent from
the states to Central America. Th<s
merchants down there are willing to
pay for extra good packing, and expect to
do so.
Mr. Chliberg says he experts to be In Se
