THE LAKE SHORE ROAD.
a Wonderful Country Opened by ths
Northern Extension

A Wonderful Country Opened by the
Northern Extension
Superintendent Dunn. of the Seattle.
Lake Shore & Eastern railway. who has
been on I tour OF inspection over the north
ern extension. returned TO the city yester-
day morning. Mr.. Dunn had not been
over this branch of the road since assum-
ing the duties OF superintendent. and the
trip was made for the purpose OF acquiring
information that will be of value to him in
the discharge OF his duties.
Mr. Dunn Is more than pleased with the
constructions work. which he says Is Tar
superior to that OF any railroad line in he
Northwest, and is enthusiastic over the
splendid country through which the line
passes. He says the opening OF the Cana
dian extension viii wonderfully develop
the country between Seattle and the inter-
national boundary. the resources OF which
are unsurpassed He says that sawmilis
will be located all through the timber, and
that In time he expects to see the great
amount Of iron ore deposited in the moun-
tains in that section dug out Of the earth
and utilized, as il is in the Eastern states
Mr.. Dunn says he has been in the iron
regions all his life, and he is certain. from
TIC IkQu Q0pO>1SS Ot IA StdCcf tnok IA IL
iron mines will be developed and prove n
OF the greatest industries of Washington.
Mr.. Dunn says he is OF the opinion that
at least six cities will spring up on The
Canadian extension. He does not expect
them to rival Seattle, but he is certain
there will be Q half dozen cities ranging
from six to ten thousand inhabitants on
the line between Seattle and the Canadian
border. all OF which must necessarily get
their entire source of supplies from Seattle.
Mr.. Dunn says that moi only the iron in
dustry will prove . big thing. but the hills
and mountains are filed with other rich
mineral deposits. and granite and marble.
The agricultural industry will, however,
prove the greatest feature.
Construction work on the line is pro-
crossing rapidly. Fully 1000 men are
employed, and rails are nov laid to q
point eighteen miles north of Snohomish,
q short distance this side of Arlington.

posing Ediiee.
The members OF the Market street
Baptist church society. who have for
PM tune been considering the cree
ton OF a new church building,
have finally decided TO erect on
the lot on which the present church edifice
tands q 5000 structure. The following
committe OF raising funds has been ap-
pointed: j. s. Edwards chairman. u. G.
Brawley, \. T. Braymer. DIR. Walsh,
James Weed and G. Z. NJ. Pratt This
committee has raised in one day the sum
OF saa.og for the building fund ana further
contributions are now being received, all
conditioned on the fun amount of $4,000
being raised.
The MarEet street Baptist church is one
of the youngest church societies in the city
but in its short life il has made wonderful
progress numerically and financially.
Since the arrival OF Rev. /. W. Read last
fall the church building has been far too
smal for the congregation. and at the pres
ent time q more commodious building is q
necessity. The site is most commanding
and the new church when erected will be
OF the most progressing church edi-
fees IN the city.

Nothing Is being lone at present toward

the company being in . quandry Is to
which direction to take. From the present
end Of the line an extension can be built in
almost any direction. and until overtures
are made by property owners on the pro-
posed routes it is probable that the line

Whilst everybody did not get the nan OF

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-I understand that
at least some of DIR. Zern's delegates and
friends at the late Democratic Convention,
as also the "Coal Gazette take the ground
that because the Senatorial matter was dis
posed of at the same time as the Judicial
and Congressional, it was trick or sharp
practice. 1t was done not only according
to custom, but according to the party rules,
not unwritten, but printed. To dispose OF
the Judicial and Congressional conferees
and not the Senatorial would have been
against the written party rules and the
custom of the party. Article 13 of the
| Democratic rules says: "ln convention
the nomination of conferees and delegates
| to State conventions shall be taken up first,
and then nominations of candidates shall
| be made" We have the rule; now as tC
custom. In 1885, when Mr.. Rapsher was
given the conferees it was done according
| to rule. In 1886, when DIR. Iern was giyeT
the conferees, it, was done according to rule
with this exception: the matter of the sen
atorial conferees was disposed of before
noon. and DIR. Zern did not get them, bu
when the convention met in the afternoon
the matter was again brought M and DIR
Zern was given the privilege to name hi
conferees, which he did. AS a matter o
Justice to the chairman of the convention
and to Mr.. Rapsher's friends, this nisrep
resenlation of rule and custom should b.
corrected FAIRPLAY.
