HOW 1T WILL COME
The Great Northern Will Come
West From Assinnaboine, In
stead of Great Falls.
Building Both Ways-Contracts
to Be Let This Winter--A New
Era for Spokane.

A gentleman who came in yes.
terday from Bonner's Ferry, on the
Kootenai river, reports that the
prospects for railway communica
ton between Spokane Falls and
Bouner's Ferry, thus opening up
the great Kootenai country, are
growing brighter every day.
The Great Northern engineers are
still busily engaged locating lines,
and additional forces will soon be
placed in the field.
The following Information was re-
ceived from one who is familiar
with the plans of the Great North
ern, and Is authentic in every par
ticular:
The road is now building each
way. The line will come west from
Fort Assinnaboine, and not from
Great Falls, as everybody hereto
fore has believed. This is sure.
They will probably let the work
along the Kootenai river and Pend
d'Oreille this winter. The entire
line from Spokane junction to AS
sinnaboine will be under way by
May, 1901.
The Northern Pacific engineers
are also busy running lines for the
proposed branch from Kootenai
Station to Bonner's Ferry.
AZ was recently stated I'm the RE-
VIEW, n subsidy ofSl75, 900 has been
raised by Kootenai mine.owners to
secure the building OF this road, and
its speedy construction is assured.
Within II year AT the most Spo-
kane Falls will have the great Koot-
enai mining region at her very door.
Daily trains will bring out the ore,
carry In immense quantities of ma
chinery and merchandise for the de-
velopnent of the mines, and pleas
ure-seekers will he enabled to reach
the shores of Kootenai lake, one of
the finest summer resorts in the
world, within few hours ride from
the metropolis, Spokane Falls.

get position with his right hand
grasping his left wrist behind him
he could go on eloquently and inn
pressively with speech, which
would be interrupted and become
maudlin II he lost his grip.
Obtaining the necessary position
he began his address:
"I.adles and Gentlemen of the
City Of Rochester: Since my arrival
In your thriving metropolis
have had the pleasure of q drive
about the suburbs and environs
and among the places we visited was
the splendid park of groves where
saw a superb waterfall l4O feet high
On my peregrinations through
this vale Of tears have had the
pleasure and the profit of visit to
hills and the home of II happy peas
antry. I have seen Paris, the mag.
nificent queen city Of the world. !
have driven about her Bois dc
Boulogne and Champs Elysees and
have rambled through the galleries
of the Tuilerics.
Here Mr. Marshal lost his grip,
and winking and hic-coughing, he
went on to say: "But Paris and
France and all that amt got no
waterfall lao feet high, by darn
sight"
Then seeing his left hand waving
almlessly through the air, he man
aged with some presence of mind
to get the grip on his left wrist
again and proceeded calmly and
eloquently to say: ~ have sailed
up the beautiful Rhine to its contlu-
ence with the silvery main. I've
seen the grand old ivy-colored cas-
ties that stand upon her historic
banks around which cling legend
and tradition and story. l have
met Germany's warm and generous
hearted people-the patrons of the
arts and the sciences. | have
grasped In strong and cordial friend
ship the rugged hand of her great
monarch, King William"
Here Tom lost his grip again and
proceeded to declare that Germany
had no waterfall l40 feet high. But
quickly he regained the grasp OF his
wrist and proceeded:
81 have stood on the PROV of n
majestic ship and sailed along beside
the white chalk cliffs of Albion
proud old Britain, the mistress of
the seas. | have rambled through
her shady lanes and among her
pleasant fields. 1 have had the dis
tinguished honor to meet, almost in
her youth, the peerless Queen Vic
toria-a kind and gentle mother; II
true and faithful wife; royal and
regal monarch-o
Here Marshall lost his grip again
and said: "But lemme tell you,
Vic--Great Britain amt got no (hic)
waterfall hundred and forty feet
high"
The remainder of the address was
deferred.

Would Aston ish the Worlds Fair.
uincoln County Times.

While 9. @. Nay, the genial
cashier of the Big Bend National
bank Of this place, is one of the
ablest iinanclers In the state, and as
level-headed a business man as can
be found anywhere, he has a natu-
ural love for farming and Is deeply
interested in everything pertaining
to agriculture and stock interests.
He takes great interest in making
handsome collections of farm, orch
ard and garden products, and his
office is always decorated with fine
specimens of grain, fruit and vege-
tables that are admired by all who
have occasion to visit his rooms
MIR. May has no difficulty In secur.
ing superior samples. As every
farmer In the country is personally
acquainted with the gentleman,
they all like him and they further
take pleasure in supplying him with
these specimens. Already this
season Mr.. May has accumulated u
choice collection of grain, vegeta-
bles, etc., that would make credit
able showing even at the worlds
fair.

UNCLE SAM THE LOSER.

Most Of the Tents Issued After the
Fire Lost or Destroyed.
Lieutenant Henry &. Cabell, u.
S. A., who came up from Vancouver
on Friday to look after the tents
which General Gibbon loaned to
Spokane Falls,immediately after the
fire, has returned from u visit to
Fort Sherman and is registered at
the Spokane.
The tents We're issued to those
who needed them by the relief com
mittee, and many of them passed
into the hands of wholly irresponsi-
BILE parties. Very naturallySa large
number OF the tents, in fact neatly
all of them, have been lost track of,
carried off or rendered useless for
further service in the army.
Lieutenant Cabell, having been
sent here in charge of the tents, is
in IA measure responsible for them,
but as they can not be found the
only thing he can do Is to get a
statement from eX-Mayor Furth
that so many tents were received,
and statement from Mayor Clough
that the tents have been lost or de-
stroyed. This will relieve Lieuten-
ant Cabell from further RESPONSE
billty In the matter, and Uncle Sam
will ,e the loser.

WHAT A sUNsTKOKE Is LIKE.
How Man Feels When He Is Pros
trated by tho Heat.
louisville Courier-Journal.l

louisville Courier -Journal.l
How does 1t feel to be sunstruck?
There are many and varied eX-
periences, according to the indi-
vidual and the circumstances un-
der which he Is Frustrated. Fleshy
persons invariably have smothering
sensations, and labor hard under
the intense strain to which their
respiratory organs are subjected; ;
but the slender man frequently re-
mains in perfectly passive state,
without any violent convlllsions,
though this is by no means the in
variable rule.
Some cases of prostration give
warning by violent and jerking
pains in the temples and back some
time previous to the coming on of
the direct attack, and every person
exposed to the heat who feels the
slightest weakening sensation, or eX-
pericnces an approaching dullness
of the senses, should, by all means,
the doctors say, without undue ex-
ertion, hasten to the nearest retreat
and have cold applications made to
the head, as this is II sure forerunner
of u sun stroke.
Other persons drop off so suddenly
that they very frequently have not
the slightest recollection of the at
tack after consciousness Is restored.
One case forcibly illustrating this is
that of Mr.. Patrick Clancy, who
was sunstruck Sunday night last.
MIR. Clancy boarded the Green street
car at Fifth, and was experiencing
no inconvience from the heat at the
time. He reached home, near
Twelfth street, at s o'clock and sat
down on the steps conversing with
his family, when suddenly he threw
up his hands and fell back senseless
upon the floor.

NEW AND YET OLD
A Journalist Visits the Old Post
at the Mouth of the
Okanogan.
Impressions Obtained in Horse
back Journey Through the
Mining District.

Mr.. C. NJ. Coe, of Tacoma, has
just returned from the Okanogan
mining districts, where he has been
looking over the country for the
past week or ten days. He reports
the future prospects of that country
as very flattcring. New discoveries
are constantly being made which
would throw older mining districts
into IL fever of ofeXcitement, but which
are of such common occurrence In
that region that they are taken as Il
matter of course. The development
of promising prospects is going on
with great vigor, and the different
mines are putting out enormous
quantities of rich ore. Particularly
Is this the case in the Ruby district,
where the Fourth of July, First
Thought and Arlington mines are
being worked night and day.
In Conconully, however, less is
being done ut present, the Lone
Star mine having shut down on ac-
count of the recent fire which
burned out the shaft, and which
has not vet been repaired.
From Wilbur, Mr.. Coe made the
trip into the mining districts on
horseback. There Is II good wagon
road from that point into the min
eral region, and he states that it
traverses some of the best stock
ranges he ever saw. Much of the
country is well watered by living
springs, and small lakes are numer-
Gus throughout a great part of that
region.
The road also passes through q
portion of the Colville Indian reser-
walton, and Mr.. Coe describes it as
being some of the richest and finest
land to be found in the Northwest,
capable of producing unlimited
crops of great variety, and he pre-
diets a splendid future for that sec
ton when it shall once be thrown
open-as should Oe done at an early
day-to settlement.
From Ruby Mr.. Coe went down
the Okanogan river to its confluence
with the Columbia, and visited the
site of the old trading post estab-
lished in 1911 by Mr.. Stuart, one of
the partners in the Astor Fur Com
pany, as feeder to Astoria. The
fate of the old fort Is familiar to all
the trials and discouragements
which met the Americans In their
endeavor to maintain post there,
and its final fall into the hands of
the Hudson Bay Company, in
whose possession 1t remained until
trapping for furs was thing of the
past.
The country now, as then, is q
beautiful one and WAS enouph to
justify Mr.. Stuart's hopes when he
chose that spot In the vast wilder
ness for an outpost of the infant in
dustry established at the mouth of
the Columbia.
Taken altogether the Okanogan
country Is one rich in innumerable
resources and with Unlimited posi-
bilities, and will, when developed,
prove one of the richest sections to
be found in all this Northwest.

CROPS AND WEATHER.


Information Gathered by the Oregon
Weather Bureau.
PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 1.-THE follow
ing information is CLEANED from reports
sent to the Oregon weather bureau:
The dry season continues. There has
been AN entire absence of rainfall
throughout the state. The temperature
has been slightly lower than usual at
this season, ranging from 45 to 90 de-
grees. The mornings have been gen
orally cloudy, or partly cloudy, the
afternoons cloudless, ana fresh north
winds prevailed.
favorable to harvesting operations.
which continue. The fall wheat is
nearly all cut aud considerable of il has
been threshed. The late spring sown
wheat is almost ripe, aud promises n
much larger yield than was expected.
For the fall wheat IL is simply inagnifi.
cent. The berry Is large, plump and
dry, and has exceeded all expectations.
The yield bids fair TO be the
largest ever harvested. Columbia
county reports say that the crop
prospects are unprecedented in
the annals of the county. The musk
melon crop of Washington county will
not he large us last years. Yamhill
county sends in reports OF a fine yield.
Tillamook county reports hay, barley
and oat crop good. Polk county reports
yields of As bushels per acre Of No. I
quality OF wheat. Marion county has
more than an average wheat crop. and 1t
is ireer from foreign matter than for
many years. Benton, Linn and other
valley counties report fine yields, some
as high as AZ bushels per acre. At
Albany some wheat has been sold for ca
cents and n small quantity of extra
choice for 10 cents. In Douglas and

THE ANIMUS OF IT
Judge Turner Is Being Used by @
Coterie Who Want the
County Offices.
The Movement Will Probably
Never Extend Further Than
Spokane County.

"Turner will not get vote In the
convention from the counties west
of the Cascade mountains" said a
well-informed politician yesterday.
"It's only brag and nonsense for his
friend to talk that way. They sure
ly know better. know what Pm
talking about whom I say that Tur-
ner has absolutely no following over
there"
ut Is not their expectation to
succeed In nominating Turner"
said another shrewd politician. "This
is not Turner movement at all.
These men who now are supporting
him labored long and diligently to
persuade Judge Houghton to accept
the nomination. Failing in that,
they turned to Sam Hyde, with
whom they were also unsuccessful.
This movement does not contem-
plate anything outside of Spokane
county. 1t is nothing more than n
fight for the local offices. The small
fry politicians needed u head to
their movement, somebody to give
IL an excuse for existence. They
are using Judge Turner to rake
small potatoes out of the fire. / tell
you that Is all there IL to IL, and
Judge Turner Is blind and stupid II
he fails to see through 1t all. He IL
too big a man to be worked In this
apparent manner"
Secretary Patterson was busy yes
terday mailing the following letter
to the members of the county cen
trail committees:
SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, Aug, li.--Sir:
A meeting OF the republican committee
of Spokane county will be held at the
office of the chairman at Spokane Falls,
at 10 o clock L. Nj. on Saturday, August
%.
The state central committee meets at
Oily mpia August 10, which will give time
tor its action to be reported tor the date
liked Tor our county committee as above.
IL is very important that every meu-
Der should be present, as many things
under the election law passed at the last
session OF the legislature will have to be
provided for. among which will be the
question whether or not the convention
shall be called under the primary cleo
ton law.
Although proxies are not legally per
missible, in view of the great Importance
of the meeting the fact that 1t Is busy
time with farmers, and the necessity
that every precinct should be repre-
sented, it is suggested tina. in case any
member is utterly unable to attend that
he should give proxy to some resident
of his precinct, in order that every part
of the county may be represented.
We enclose copy OF circular letter
from the chairman of state central COM
mittee. That portion of it regarding
registration applies to precincts of $50
votes, Very truly yours,
w. NJ. RfDPAT1, Chairman.
q. M. PATTERSON, Secretary.
An important point to be decided
by the committee Is whether the
party in this county shall avail it
self of the provisions of the primary
election law passed at the last session
of the legislature. AS the bill was
u republican measure, drawn in the
interest of purer politics, the general
belief among republicans seems to
be In favor of Its application.
