TWhatcom Reveille. I

Mr.. P. B. Cornwall, President OF
the Bellingham Bay i British Colum-
bia Railroad Company, came up
from California last Friday TO look
after his valuable railroad and real
estate interests in this city. Mr..
Cornwall informs the "Reveille" that
the grade on the railroad will be
pushed as rapidly as the inclement
season of the year will permit, and
hopes TO have from three to four
miles of the road, from the Bay
northward, graded and ties laid by
the first OF Arril next, at which time
the steel rails and standard gage
locomotive, with construction cars,
will be brought out from Philadel-
phia and placed on the road. Work
will then be pushed rapidly forward
TO a connection with the Canadian
Pacific. la this connection il may
be stated that one Of the largest slhps
afloat has been chartered and will
sail from Philadelphia on Saturday,
the 10Th inst laden with steel rails
for the b. b. Il Il. G. X. Il. Co. at
this place. 1t will require about 100
days for the passage. Other vessels
with railroad material will soon fol-
low. Pending the arrival OF this
material work will be vigorously
pushed. not only on the railroad
grade, but also the grading and clear
ing OF streets and lots in New What
com. Mr.. Cornwall returned last
Wednesday to San Francisco. With
in few days after bis arrival there
he will proceed to New York for the
purpose of transacting business OF
great importance, not only TO the
he represents, bnt also to |
The city OF Whstcom and BelliDgham
Bay. The object of his trip will DO
known In due time. Suffice IT to say |
that the real, genuine boom for this
immediate section has not yet begun.

A very, very tough story In which
q chicken, q rat, q cat, q dog ana a
boy figured was going the rounds in
the East End yesterday. The story
is vouched for by good authority,
and on this account 1t was all the
more remarkable. 1t is related that
Mr.. Sam McCurdy was sitting meath
the shafle Of tree in the back yard
Of his residence on Clay, near Frank
lin street, talking to some friends,
when his attention was called to
hen with brood of young chickens
and large rat that had just emerged
from its hole and was quietly regard
ing the young chickens with the pros
pect of meal in view. As the rat
came from his hole the house cat a.
woke from her afternoon nap and
caught sight of the rat. Crouching
low, she awaited Developments, and
stood prepared to spring upon his
ratship. At the appearance Of his
sacient enemy, the cat, Scotch ter.
rier, which had been summing itself
in the woodsned, picked up its ears
snd quietly made for the place where
the cat stood. At this moment boy
named Andy Quaid came upon the
scene. The chickens were not cog
pizant OF being watched by the. rat,
nor did the rat see the cat, nor the
feline the dog, who had not noticed
the coming Of the boy.
A little chick wandered too nigh
and was seized by the rat, which was
in turn pounced upon by the Cat,
and the cat was caught In the mouth
ofthe dog. The rat would not cease
lis hold on The chicken, and the cat,
in spite of the shaking abe was get
tipg from the dog, did not let 20 The
rat. It was fun for the boy, and 10
his high glee he watched the contest
and Struggle of each OF the victims.
Il seemed to him that the rat was
about TO escape after time. and get
ting stone struck the dog right be.
tween the eyes and the terrier re-
leased its grip on the cat and tell over
dad. Il had hardly breathed its last
before the cat in turn let 60 the rat |
end turned over and died. The rat
did not long survive the enemy, and
BY the side OF the already dead
chicken he laid himself down and
gave up the ghost.
The owner Of the dog is 90 angry
at his death that he 10 said to have
come near making the story complete
BY killing the boy that killed the dog
that shook the Cat that caught the

There must come an end TO all things,

and profit to our citizens. an opportuni-

terprise in charge have spared no pains
to make all thoroughly enjoy them.
selves. and be fully compensated for the
money sDent, and the visits paid to their
extensive enterprise. The donors,
too, are deserving of a
good word here for the generosity with
which they have contributed articles,
quaint, curious and valuable.
That the exhibition has been a finan-
cial success, we are truly glad TO note.
The gross receipts are estimated at 5000,
about $500 of which will be clear profit.
The ladies have worked most faithfully
from the first to the last, and if they are
tired and almost worn out, they will have
the satisfaction of having spent their
time and energies in most commend
able work.
The building was cleared to-day of all
the articles on exhibition, and the task
of gathering them together and return
ing them to their owners has been no
small task, but in all we feel like say
