ANOTHER LINE EAST
A Connection Has Been Made
With the Canadian
Pacific.
Mr.. Corbin Has Concluded Ar
rangements to Go Into Eject
on the l2th.

Hon. d. C. Corbin, of the Spokane
Falls d Northern Railroad, returned
yesterday from u trip to Victoria,
where he went several days ago tc
meet certain officials of the Canadian
Pacific Railroad.
He has concluded arrangements
with the British railroad people
which will go into effect August II
and by which he will bring freight
and passengers from the Canadian
Pacific to Spokane.
The Spokane Falls Il Northern
will he completed TO the Little
Dalles by the 18th of the month
and the Columbia u kootena'
TRANSPORTATION Company's new
steamer, the Lytton, will connect
and run To Reyelstoke on the Cana
dian Pacific.
The steamer, which has been
tried for several weeks, Is fast and
capable Of handling n big business.
She will make two trips week for
the present, leaving Revelstoke
Mondays and Thursdays, arriving
at the Little Dalles Tuesdays and
Fridays.
Mr.. Corbin intends to put on
enough steamers to make daily
trips, as soon as the business will
warrant IL.
This connection will give Spo-
kane a competing road, and If the
merchants here only make some
effort, it will he very easy to get
terminal rates from the East.
Although the Canadian people nc
doubt have some arrangement with
the Northern Pacific, yet they are
practically independent of any
transcontinental road; for while, by
making terminal rates for Spokane,
they can greatly increase their bust
ness, they run no danger, for 1t il
impossible for the Northern to re-
taliate in any way.
A party of Canadian officials are
expected to arrive here on Tuesday
and 1t has been suggested that the
board of trade committee meet ant
confer with them.
