THE NoRTHwEsr's "B1G FOUR"
A Safe Prediction by an Engineer Form

erly II Northern Pacific Employe.
Appended is an extract from letter
written to u citizen of Great Falls by a
civil engineer, formerly in the employ of
the Northern Pacific railroad, and who
passed over the site Of Great Falls some
twelve years since in that capacity.
81 was greatly impressed with the situ-
alton Of the falls and now since it has fa-
cilities for development offered by the
railroad, the immense water power and
the mountains full of minerals, believe it
will continue to have steady growth until
it will be city of 100000 inhabitants.
have long ago formed the idea that Chi
cago, st. Paul-Minneapolis, Great Falls
and Tacoma, will be the "big four" of
the northwest.
ut has always been surprise to me that
the Northern Pacific did not "catch on
to the position at Great Falls, and estab-
lish their line through that region instead
of taking it up the Yellowstone valley"

LONDON, February 24.-It is evident as
the hours go on and the moments, which
may prove the last ones for Prince Fred
erick William, approach, that hope of
the recovery of Germany's crown prince
is almost abandoned at Berlin, in official
quarters. The readiness of the aged
kaiser to undertake the fatgueing Jour-
ney to San Reno, the appointment of a
reporting counselor to Prince William,
a distinction only accorded to a crown
prince, and the conference which was
held between the emperor, Prince
William and Bismarck, ali point to the
conclusion that the worst is being pre-
pared for, and evidently expected.
The regency proposition is bitterly OPP
posed by the crown princess who is no
friend to Bismarck and who looks upon
him and his designs with distrust. Ar
rayed against the ambitious princess is
her son, Prince William, and his equally
ambitious wife and Bismarck This trio,
with the assistance OF some of the minis
ters, are endeavoring to urge upon the
sick prince the necessity of resi- gning his
claim to the throne and allowing his son
to replace him. Bismarck is leaving
nothing undone to secure the throne for
his favorite in the event of the kaisers
death.

says Great Falls is putting on metropoli-
tan airs, and although only two years of
age, is mighty smart--a sort of infant
prodigy, as it WERE Three railroads give
the town all the necessary transportation
facilities, viz: The Hill railroad (the
Manitoba), the Montana Central and the
Niehart Il Sand Coulee, road, which runs
for distance of fortyive miles and taps
rich gold and silver districts
The Manitoba people, said Mr.. Gibson,
"havejust purchased $4,000 tons of rails
in Pennsylvania and a number of carloads
hava already been delivered at Great
Falls. This will be enough to construct
500 miles Of track with. The work of
construction will be resumed actively in
April, and lots Of track will be laid. 1t
is not definitely known at Great Falls to
what line the Manitoba will be welded.
but it is thought the Seattle, Lake Shore
& Eastern will be The favored one
"We are to have the largest smelter in
the world at Great Falls" said Mr.. Glib
son. Mr.. Eilers, of Pueblo, Col, Edwad
Cooper, of New York, and others have
formed syndicate. The buildings will
will cost $2,000,00O. The millions of
brick nesessary for the buildings have
been purchased, and the excavations have
already been made. 1t is the intention of
the company to have the smelters Mt work

"All the necessary huxes, including the
finest coal which cooks splendidly, can
be found within seven miles of the city.
AS far as water power is concerned there
is millions Of horse power at hand. The |
mines for which the smeter will be sup
piled, are located in the Nyhart, Barker
and Yogo districts, which are located
from thirty TO sixty miles from Great
Falls. In these mines are located rich
gold, silver and galena silver lodes, which

question have reached deadlock: Ger
many alone can persuade Austria to
accept the idea of a Russian protectorate
for Bulgaria, but it is not thought that
Bismarck will take the responsibility of
coercing Austria in the matter. The note
will revive the old disagreement among
the powers over the interpretation of the
British treaty, and there is little chance
of concerted action in reply. This is per-
haps what Russia counts upon as aemeans
of enabling her to slip in and take pos

make Salem point on the projected
route.

railway was read and eagerly dis

bic.

nifty their willingness to cooperate
with the people of the valley in the

subject than are the valley residents.
