TACOMA, April 13.— The Northern Pa cific engineers have completed the task of surveying a road cut of Tacoma by way of Point Defiance and avoiding the steep hill up which the trains now climb to Edison. The grade going south of the pass is two points, or as much as any where in the Cascade and Rocky Moun tains. It has been a difficult proposition for the engineera to nnd a minimum grade with a minimum cutting through the hills. Twelve routes were run at different times and tha engineers after day3 and days of hard work have at last hit upon a feasible route with only four-tenths of a foot per cent Rrade. The maps of the proposed route are now being prepared and will be submitted to the officers of the Northern Pacific in St. PanL * The proposed new route Is along, tha shore of „ Commencement Bay to Smelter and Point Defiance, thence along the nar- * rows to Stellacpom. thence along tha beach line to Olympla. During tha" en tire run to Olympia the water will sel dom be lost sight of. Although the first cost of construction will be great, tha road will be profitable in the long run. inasmuch as only on© engine will bo re quired for south-bound trains and the ser vice between Tacoma' and, San Francisco will be shortened by an hour and a half.

IDENTIFY BODY OF HANGING MAN Th*> Mayor's attention has also been called to the matter and he is making an investigation. Under the law Auditor Baehr is liable for all sums that may be drawn from I he city and county treasury by reason of his action in auditing a claim that rr.ay be illegal. When Baehr's attention v.as called to the constitutional provision he was surprised. He said, however, he would not do anything in the matter until he had consulted an attorney and secured legal advice. He intimated that the city and "cour.ty would not lose by his action in auditing the claims of the Assessor, as both the latter and himself were re sponsible parties. The books of the Auditor show that the Assessor has drawn during the month of February $611 10, which is flTT 73 more than ho is allowed by the charter provision whit h was in operation when he assumed office. His regular salary is $333 35 per jr.onth. and undrr present conditions the Assessor has increased his demand to iwie<r that amount. Assessor Dodge was elected in Xovcm b«-r. 1839, and asf=um< d offire on January 8. 1200. His term does not expire until January S, 1904. and his salary of $4000 under the foregoing provisions of the con stitution must remain at that figure until hits successor is elected. Section 19 of article V equally forbids .-in increase in the salaries of all State officers from the Governor downward dur ing the term for which they shall be elected, "Section 9, article XI— The compensa tion-of any county, city, town or mu nicipal officer Khali not be increased after l:!s election or durinsr his term of office." 1 v the charter was U0O0 per annum. As this sum was far too email for such an important effice the people at the last election voted to increase the Assessor's alary to JSOOO. This amendment to the charter w«s ratified by the last session of the legislature, and it wguld seem that Dr. Dodce had a right to derive pome benefit in the matter. An energetic taxpayer, however, in inspecting the books of the Auditor yesterday noticed that Assessor Dodge's demands for a higher pro rata on his annual salary were being favorably considered by Auditor liaehr. He called the latters attention fo the following provision of the consti tution, which reads: ,-iskma of the charter.
