Final plana have Just been completed for
the entry of the Oregon A Waahlngton
railroad Into Seattle and Tacoma, which as
sures the success of one of the most Im
portant railroad projecta ever undertaken
in thla section. To Portland, where the
Oregon ft Waahlngton will connect with
the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Rail
road and Navigation company Hnea. the new
Harrlman road haa been laid out espe
cially for the handling of fast and heavy
traffic over the 2oo miles that separate
Puget Sound and the Columbia river.
Into Seattle the Oregon A Washington
will enter by a tunnel more than a mile
long to avoid .congestion of traffic on the
water-front streets. For a different rea
son the Harrlman englneere found It necea-
( ary to run their lines underground Into
; Tacoma as well. The grades of the route
! originally plotted for Tacoma were o
j heavy that orders were Issued for the ur-
i veying of a line that would avoid the rises
; tf Ta(.ma te1?,.!an!, ,hat an.. rond
: from th- mM cr0M o cllm Tn
decision of the engineers was not to climb
! at all. but to go under the city by a tun
nel 8,7TO feet long.
The south portal of the bore will he lo
cated at the point where the Northern Pa
cific emere-es from gulch to prairie, on the
way to South Tacoma. Continuing far
enough underground not to Interfere In any
I way w1tn tn ctv's surface actlvltiea. the
tunnel will emerge on the north side, wher
five blocks have been bought for traekase
I and two blocks for a passenger station that
j wi rlva) thP projected station at Seattle.
j in wayi the ruinous 2.7 per cent grade
j at tacoma has been cut down more than
one-half.
The effect of the extension of the Har
rlman lines to Seattle will be pract'cally
to double the shipping outlet of the Puget
Sound region.

BEER AND THIEF TAKEN IN
Hear Recovered and Thirsty Rogue
Arrested by Sherlock
Holmea Mitchell.
"Old Sleuth" Mitchell, famou aa the
Omaha Sherlock Holmes, has made an
other great capture. A Met brewery,
wagon drove up In front of the Burke sa
loon at 223 South Tenth street Wednesday
morning and while the driver was busy
within the place somo felonious person took
a full keg of beer from the wagon and sub
stituted an empty one. The problem waa,
flrt, to locate the beer and, second, to lo
cate the thief. Mitchell made a thorougji
examination of the premises and found
concealed among a number of empty kegs
the lost one still full.
"Ha, ha!" said th detective, "he ha
hidden hi booty here and he will turely
come back. I will ambuh myself till he
shall return."
The big form wa partially concealed be
hind a telephone post and for a time dead
silence prevailed. Then a curly black head
was thrust around a corner and hastily
withdrawn. Mitchell moved from hi hiding
place and put hi hand on hi hip. A sec
ond time the cautious .head came around
the corner and this time It was followed by
Levi King, an old friend of Mitchell who
had been captured too many time to do
anything rash. He thought the coast waa
clear, however, and his long self followed
the head. Then to th detective's dilating
eye there suddenly appeared a wheelbar
row, which waa rolled close to the pile of
beer kegs and stopped.
" TIs enough." said the sleuth, and th
thief was In the toil.

MILLER AND ILER AGREE
Come to Terms of Settlement on I.onar
Cootroversr Over Hotel
Property.
After a resistance of twenty-eight month,
within which time he ha built a hotel of
hi own, Rome Miller haa agreed to yield
poasesston of Peter ller'a hotel property,
the Her Orand, at Sixteenth and Howard
streets. Mr. Miller aald Wednesday he
and Mr. Her had reached an agreement
settling all Mr. Mlllor's obligations to Mr.
Her in full and guaranteeing tn Mr. Her
possession of the old Her Grand hotel on
August 1.
The controversy between the two men
ha caused no end of comment for th
last two years. For the greater part of
that time the matter has been In th court
and a short time ago It reached th su
preme court, which decreed that Mr. Miller
had to give up the building. According to
Mr. Miller, he and Mr. Her settled th mat
ter out ol court a few day before the
decision.
Whllo Mr. Miller wa appealing from on
onurt to another, seeking to defer the In
evitable day of surrender, he was also
steadily at work on the erection of a new
hotel. Last fall he began the Rom hotel
at the south end of th block on which the
Iler Orand Is situated. Tha furniture and
the last of the finishing material has now
arrived and the structure will be ready for
occupancy by August 1.
Mr. Miller gives
poasesslon of the Iler Grand from Howard
street south to the alley. He will occupy
thnt part south of the alley and known as
the Brunswick building. This, with the new
structure, will constitute th Rome.
Last summer Mr. Iler announced he
would build a million-dollar hotel In place
of tho old Iler Grand If he could get pos
session of the premise, but either on ac
count of the delay or from some other rea
son, Mr. Iler has so far dismissed this plan
from his mind that for several month He
haa had no announcement to make on the
subject. When asked about the matter
Wednesday, Mr. Iler confirmed Mr. Miller
statement about th ettlement of their
difference, but as to the new Her Grand,
he said only:
"I have nothing at all to say about build
ing now."
