The SWifchbReIl.

The special dispatch received by the
the Tacoma Ledger is as follows:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 25.-Vice-
President Oakes of the Northern Pacific,
has just returned to st. Paul after an
absence of five weeks in New York. Mr..
Cakes was interviewed today at the
Northern Pacific headquarters in this
city, by 4 representative Of the Ledger
who wrote down as directed by him, the
following statements: 1--WE have prae-
tically decided to put in the switchback
at Stampede Pass with six per cent
grades. We have found on investiga-
ton that by the use OF decapod engine,
having 22x26 inch cylinders. aEI weigh
ing, in working order, Il total of 156,0OO
pounds, we can successfully transport
trains over grades of 500 feet to the
mile and upwards. This switch will be
put in as soon as possible, after the two
ends of the track reach the east and west
sides OF the mountain, probably by
November or December of this year.
The switchback might be completed in
sixty or ninety days from the time work
commences. We had under considera-
ton for some time, the adoption of the
Abbott system, which would require the
US of engines with cog wheels, but upon
careful investigation We have concluded
to put in the switelback line. As above
indicated something may hereafter occur
to change our plans as TO the method OF
getting over the mountains, but nothing
can occur to change our p1rpose of put
ting III an overhead line and completing
the connection between the two sections
OF the Cascade division.

iightful success. Net proceeds over and

Very little has been done in court
since our last report. The case of Viii
lisOn VS. Garrett WAS continued. In the
divorce suit Of II. l.. Tibbals VS. Caroline
TIbbais, court ordered plaintiff TO pay
defendant $3.50 for counsel fee, $3.50 for
witnesses, and $50 per week as temporary
alimony. L. T.. Helmberg, convicted of
assault. was sentenced TO two days
imprisonment. U. s. VS. Oliver Wood
and his bondsmen was continued.
Judgment was given for S132 and costs
IN the case OF U. s. Va VIM. Payne. In
the divorce case Of Langton VS. LaDgton
a demurrer to the complaint was filed.
It is hoped that contractors for mail
service will be held strictly accountable
for faithful and prompt service. 1t is
getting to be customary for non-residents
to bld in contracts for speculation and
then farm out the job so that sub-con-
tractors could not give satisfactory ser
vice. Take, for Instance, the route from
Neah Bay to Quileute-carried by an
Indian who cannot take the package
mail large portion of the time and il
has to lie over at Neah Bay till chance
offers for transportation by water. Such
service will not be tolerated longer.

New Market.

The Vancouver, W. T., Independent
tells of large shipments of lumber from
that place to points east ofthe mountains.
That trade naturally belongs to Puget
Sound, and the great mills of this dis
trict with their facilities for manufactur-
ing lumber cheaply viii have the market
whenever the Cascade division is COM
pleted. The mills OF this city have al
ready been making shipments of lumber
east Of the mountains, and if they can
ROW comPet5 with Portland and ship
their products twice as far, what can they
not do VIXEN the great treeless region,
the INLAND Empire" as it is called, is
! Lrought nearly $50 miles nearer Tacoma
than what it now is. The lumber trade
