TO PORTLAND NEXT.
The Great Northern viii Soon
Begin Construction.
ANOTHER COLUMBIA BRIDGE.


W. P. Watson. principal assistant en-
sineer OF the Great Northern railroad, ne
turned yesterday from Portland, having
made trip along the route OF the pro.
posed line from Seattle to Portland. He
states that the survey Of the line Il nearly
finished. and he will begin immediately to
secure the right-of-way. He hopes to b.
gin construction before the close Of this
year. A bridge win be built across the
Columbia river 1t . point about
forty miles below that Of the Union
Pacific. Two routes hare been surveyed
from Portland to the Colt mbia river, one
OF which IL much shorter than the other.
II has not been determined which Of them
will BE- adopted. The time when the con-
struction will begin depends on the ease
with which the right-of- way can be secured.
This item of cost alone Is estimated at
$500, 900 to $500 600. and the cost Of the
whole road will b about s. 000. 900.
The Aberdeen correspondent of the Posr.
IxrELLI0ErcER telegraphs: It seems that
the contention between Hunt and the
Northern Pacific along their extensions to
Aberdeen is settled. TO the mutual advan-
tage Of the railroads and the people. Con-
tractors have been notified that the Finch
bluff would be occupied jointly by both
roads. and only one track built This bIu6
Is within the corporate limits Of Aberdeen,
and Is 20 steep and high that only one road
can be built along its front at . reasonable
cost. and 10 20 situated that the railroads
must come In along its face. Hunt sur
veyed the first right-Of-way there, but the
Northern Pacific put large force Of men
on and built . fne grade before Hunts
men could get to it The former paid Finch
$500 for the right-of-way. and Hunt
brought suit to enjoin them from occupy
ing 1t. MI. Clayton, superintendent of
construction, says track will now be laid
into Aberdeen within forty-five days. He
also thinks that, a. Aberdeen needs q
bridge across the Wishka river, the city
ought to join with them in building one
that could be used for wagons and rail-
roads, and it ID not unlikely the matter
will be adjusted that way.
The city council il now considering .
plan to widen River street 100 feet and
dedicate It for railroad avenue Railroad
men are DESTROYS Of having il done, and it
will b much to the benefit of the city.
