Holiday Entertainment.

On Friday afternoon, the pupils of the
High School gave an entertainment APP
propriate to the season. About seventy
i've friends were present and all speak in
terms of the highest praise of the training
OF the pupils, which reflected much to the
credit of themselves and their teachers.
Where all did so well, it is hard to in
dividualize, but we cannot refrain from
aiiuding to the Dairy Maids Drill, u
which was undoubtedly one of the best
we ever witnessed.
In order to give those who were not
present some idea of what they missed,
we append the programme in full:

Northern Pacific Acquires Duluth Ter
minais-Folly OF so-Calied Canadian
Statesmen in Opposition to the spo-
ane Railroad.

ST. PAUL, July 3l--Colonel w. p. Clough,
vice president of the Great Northern, said
today that matters on the Pacific coast
were rapidly shaping themselves. The
Great Northern had under way $50 miles
of road extending from the junction of the
Fairhaven & Southern with the Canadian
Pacific south to Seattle. Steps had also
been taken for an extension of the Seattle
q Montana south from Seattle to Port
land. This line will practically parallel
the Pacific division of the Northern Pa
cific. The report that the acquisition of
the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern by the
Northern Pacific would prevent the Great
Northern from gaining entrance to Seattle,
Colonel Clough characierizes as false in
every particular. As a matter of fact, he
said, the Seattle Il Montana, which is
owned by the Great Northern, is the only
road which has right-of-way entirely
through Seattle. The Great Northern at
no time thought seriously of purcasing the
road recently acquired by the Northern
Pacific
Regarding the extension west from Mon
tana, Ciough would say but little, and that
little was to the effect that the line had
been located for distance of los miles. 1t
will leave the present line at Assinaboine,
and contracts for construction of the los
miles will be let at once.
Surveying parties are still in the Cascades,
and nothing further can be done until the
definite location is made The colonel was
not prepared to state the probable length
OF the through lines when completed, but
did say it would be considerably shorter
than that of the Northern Pacific.

WHATcoN, July 3i.-Customs Inspector
Peter Cain had an interesting experience
few days since at Point Roberts. He spied
the steam sloop Emma, of Victoria, fishing
IN American waters, and undertook to
seize her. Obtaining the services of fish,
erman to take him 10 the poacher, which
had inadvertently allowed her steam to run
down, he seized the sloop in regular order.
1t had two or three unwilling prisoners on
board who refused TO assist him in running
the sloop into an American port. The in
spector had not made the proper arrange
ments in Blaine for a tug to come to his
assistance to tow in his prize. Without
help on board or from land he was in the
position of the officer who attached the
elephant. The British owners of the sloop
allowed her TO quietly drift into British
waters, which required two or three days.
In the meantime they refused to furnish
food for their captor, until he was only 100
glad to give up his prize. The plucky GUS
toms officer had caught a Tartar and
turned his toes toward home the first time
the fishing sloop struck land. He will
never try to capture another poacher single
handed.
VICTORIA, July 31.-The sloop Harriet
was seized by customs officers this morning
for coming from Blaine without clearance
papers. The owner says he bought the
boat at Boundary bay. Nothing contra
band was found on her.

now farmer in Lewis county, and a for
mer member of the constitutional conyen-
ton, was in Olympia today. Mr. JOY has

TACOMA, July 81. Residents of this state,
and particularly of Spokane Falls and the
eastern section, must be interested in the
report wired from Washington that the
administration is considering a plan of re-
stricting the privileges now enjoyed by the
Canadian railroad companies in crossing
our frontier. Spokane Falls is particularly
mentioned because of the strenuous, but
hitherto futile efforts of President d. G.
Corbin, of the Spokane & Northern road,
to induce the Dominion government to
grant charter and right-of-way for an ex-
tension of the road from the international
boundary to a connection with the Cana
dian Pacific.
Austin Corbin, SON of d. G. Corbin, and
nephew of Austin Corbin, of the Reading
road, has been stopping at the Tacoma for
the past week. In conversation with the
PosT-IrrELLIeENcER correspondent, ne
stated that the Spokane & Northern is
nearly completed to the Little DaIles. on
the Columbia river, 120 miles north of Spo-
kane Falls, and that trains will soon be
running to that point. 1t has been ex-
pected by Spokane citizens that as soon
as the road should be completed to the
Little Dalles boats would be put on the
river to ply between that point and the
Canadian Pacific, thus affording Spokane
merchants the advantages of the Cana
dian's freight competition with the North
ern and Union. That, however, is not
likely to be done this year. Mr.. Corbin
says he does not think it probable that bis
father will establish any boat service, and
he knows OF no ateps yet having been taken
by any other parties with that end in view.
There seems to be no immediate prospect
of favorable outcome to the negotiations
for righi-of-way across the boundary and
the Canadian frontier.
The privileges asked for by President
Corbin were eagerly granted by the proyin-
cial government of British Columbia, but
the Dominion powers at Ottawa stolidly re-
fused to ratify them. Mr.. Corbin and his
counsel spent several weeks at Ottawa last
winter while parliament was in session, and
while a large number of the members.
nearly all of the liberals, strongly favored
the charter, Premier Mcdonald and his
supporters opposed and easily defeated it.
A little wholesome restriction of Canadian
privileges along our eastern border,
whether it be called retaliation or not.
might induce a more liberal and reasonable
policy toward American companies in the
Northwest.

VICTORIA, July 31.-The Posr-INrELLI-

day to obtain information from headquar-
ters regarding the Behring sea difficulty,
has been refused interviews by majority
H the prominent sealing men, who ex-
planned to him that other American re-
porters who presented themselves had so
distorted and twisted their remarks as to
completely misrepresent their position in
the journals in whose interest the corre-
spondents were here. Captain Cox, sp0kes-
man for the sealers on almost all occasions,
told the reporter that hereafter no Ameri-
can newspaper man would be talked with,
who did not come accredited by respon-
sible party as well as by the paper whose
card he presented. This stand on the part
of the sealers is due to what they allege to
be Misrepresentation contained in the re-
cent special articles in Port Townsend
dailies. A San Francisco reporter who
followed the Seattle man on the same mis-
sion today Jared exactly the same.

WAsHISeToS CIrY. July 3l.-4An answer
to inquiries regarding the irrigation sur
veys contained in the recent resolution
was sent TO the Senate today by Secretary
Noble. He states that the directors OF the
geological survey actually surveyed and
marked the boundaries of areas of sites for
reservoirs by him selected under the act OF
1888. and the tracts so segregated were so
marked that they can be discovered on the
ground and delineated on the land office
maps of reservoir site selections. Only so
much land has in each instance
been reserved as was intended,
purely for Storage of water. 1t was not
intended, the secretary says, that the sur
veys and selections under the act OF 1888
be carried to the extent of planning sys-
tenn of canals, bitches, checks and burrows
for the distribution of water over farms,
which it is deemed the people, when they
come TO cultivate these lands, can better do
themselves. The general purpose and
plan of the department, the secretary says,
is to preserve the sources Of water supply
from the possession or appropriation of
individuals or corporations. 1t is believed,
he says, to be the duty of his department.

1t Will Probably Be Replaced by an
Iron Structure.
TACOMA. July 3i.--C. Fl. Moore, of Spo-
kane Falls. general manager of the Spo-
kane street and cable railway companies,
is at the Tacoma. The cable company suf-
fered very severe loss by the big fire on
the 2ist inst, which destroyed its power
house and big bridge across the Spokane
river at Monroe street, which was said to
be the largest cable line bridge in the
world. 1t was wooden structure and
cost 1000, of which $4,000 was paid by
the city after deal OF wrangling. 1t was
built by the San Francisco Bridge Com
pany, principally under the supervision OF
of Superintendent Gait, who is now in
charge OF large bridge contracts at Seattle,
where Mr.. Moore had conference with
him yesterday with reference to the build
ing of an iron structure to replace the old
ole. Monroe street is one of the most inn
portant thoroughfares of the city, and the
burned bridge was the main connecting
link between the north and south sides. 1t
was very high structure, nearly 900 feet
long, spanning the river just below the
falls. The cable company may have to as
sumo the entire cost OF the new structure,
for the time being at least, the city having
reached the limit Of IT'S authorized indebt-
edness. and all of the present revenues be-
ifg required TO defray the expenses OF the
municipal government and meet the cost
of Improvements already inaugurated or
contracted
