The news from the coast indie ates that
Mr.. Willard ia coming TO Spokone Falls
within few days. 1t is the belief Of the
shippers that individually he entertains
no fee ing of animos,ty toward this city,
and the opinion prev that when he has
become fully acquainted with the facts he
will be disposed to do all in his power to
remedy the evils by which the commerce
of this city has been 30 greatly retarded
in the past on account of the discrimina.
tion practiced by the Northern Pacific
management 1t can be clearly shown
that Notwithstanding this unjust discrim'
instion Spokane Falls has become the
most important Shipping point along the
line Of the Northern Pacific, between
Minneapolis and the coast, The fact can
be demonstrated also that the revenues of
the company at his point exceed those-of
any Other place, and that a steady increase
in the future is inevitable. To this end
there should be meeting Of the board of
trade to-day and preparations made TO
present the facts coolly and calmly to the
distinguished railroad manipulation when
he arrives.

AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
THE RAPID TRANSIT COMPANY.


Although there was no council
Gil quorum yesterday the representa-
tives of the rapid transit company
were ready with another proposition
to submit to the council, not, however,
as substitute for their former one,
but as an Independent project, leaving
the first application in allegiance for
the present. The route proposed by
them in the paper of yesterday, and
for which they ask right of way, is
from Alamo plaza, through Avenue E,
Seventh street, Austin street, Duval
street, Oak street, Twelfth street, and
River Avenue to the city limits on the
North. Also from Avenue E and
Fourth street through Fourth, Taylor,
Martin, Navarro, across Mill bridge,
through Garden to East Nueva, West
Nueva, Quinta, Main plaza, DolOrosa,
Main plaza, West Commerce, through
Milan Square by South Pecos, Buena
Vista and Medina streets to the I. &
G. \. depot.
They propose to construct the road
strictly in accordance with the re,
requirements of the council, using
storage motor, complete the work in
eighteen months and give bonds OF
$500 per mile for performance of con,
tract.
The company set forth at length the
cost of equipment, the benefit that the
outlay will be to the city, their pro
pos d improvements at the head o.
the river, constructing sanitarium
etc., if railway grant is given, the ut
ter senselessness of constructing
road that did not touch
the heart of the city anC
the railway depots, the futility
of the objections urged against the
proposed road on account of narrow
streets, the imperative necessity o.
rapid transit cars, the prohibltory
nature of all ordinances requiring
consent of property holders and thu
right and duty Of the council to de
eide this matter for themselves with
out Sinking it off upon property
holders. The company demand either
franchise that will be effective or 1
refusal of their petition and face the
issue very openly and squarely.
The council will find it impossible
to dodge this issue as they do nearly
every one that comes before them. II
this case they must do one thing o.
another. The company asserts it!
