THE WHITE CHUCK PASS
Pathfinder Moses Returns from
Trip up the White Chuck
River
He Believes His Pass Is En-
tirely Practicable and of
Light Grade
Another Opinion Gives 1t the
Quietus, and is Too Decid-
edly Against Ii

Mr.. Moses, who was reported In the
HERALD, few days ago, as having
found the most practicable pass
through the Cascades yet discovered,
returned from the scene Of his dis
cOvcry yesterday afternoon. Eight
days ago Mr.. Moses, accompanied by
j. ID. Galloway, c. f., left Fairhayen
for the White Chuck river, tributary
Of the Sauk. The journey was made
in safety and the mouth Of the White
Chuck was reached and the ascent be-
gun. IL was by following this river,
Mr.. Moses claimed, that the new pass
was reached. White Chuck river Is
about twenty miles above the junction
Of the Sauk with the Skagit. Just
now passes are exceedingly plentiful
across the Cascades, and the Great
Northern will, according TO various
reports, straddle each one. In the
course Of prospecting trip Mr.. Moses
ran across what he believed TO be
most feasible route, by following the
White Chuck river to It's source in the
| Cascades. The grade seemed easy
and everything favorable for the
/ Great Northern or any other road TO
/ find easy access TO Puget sound, aud
first Fairhayen Therefore, he re-
turned 10 the city, reported his find,
and a day or two later, accompanied
by Mr.. Galloway, who went merely on
a trial trip, the White Chuck was
reached The result Of the trip Is
. best given tn Mr.. Moses words: "FOr
! twenty miles there is not more than
an actual rise Of 200 feet, following
/ the course Of the White Chuck river;
/ high mountains arise on either hand,
. but there Is ample room for railroad
down the river At the hcadwaters
| Of the White Chuck, the country Is
more PERCEPTIONS, until the summit
| is reached, but there is no impediment
/ whatever 10 prevent any railroad from
/ finding an excellent route Of easy
| grade, the like of which is not found
ON any route through the Rockies or
I Cascades iiy following the Wenatchee
| from the other side Of the Cascades
an easy grade is obtained until the
/ head waters Of the White Chuck are
reached. and after that, in my iudg-
] mcut. q most excellent route Is found
| this Is the case
Mr.. Galloway was seen by a HERALD
! reporter yesterday afternoon and the
reporter was referred TO Geo. i.
I ,iayncs, acting chief engineer Of the
. Farhaycn & Southern. "Thc Great
/ Northern" said Mr.. Jaynes, had
nothing 20 do with Mr.. Galloway's re-
cent trip up the White Chuck lie
merely went out 10 look over the
ground and to take notes Of what he
saw. His observations are not at all
favorable as o. the feasibility Of the
route for "a railroad 10 is very easy
for any one 90 err as 10 the altitude Of
"A pass or country without instruments
10 determine the actual elevation, and
Mr.. Galloway's report Is decidedly
against this one. IL is not considered
at all practicable"

would, he thought, with a small levy
be amply sufficient and the schools
could still be efficient.
j. G. McLennan submitted an csti-
mate In which he claimed that "A levy
Of q mills would be ample TO support
the schools without impairing their
efficiency, and leave small balance
In the treasury.
w. j. Hughes asked what would be
required If the school site was not
paid for this year, and Mr.. McLennan
said he had included that, and the in
debtedness would be less than $4,000.
Major Darling said that Mr.. Nc
Lennan's statement had been care
fully prepared, and he believed it
about fitted the bill. lie thought the
proposition TO bond the district at this
time was premature; there was no
necessity for it, and as for the pay
ment OF the Larrabee street block, he
| thought that the Land company would
not press it. They had been lenicnt
in other cases, and he thought they
would in this.
Mr.. Wells got in little estimate in
tended TO show that two mills tan
would suffice for all present needs
and T. G. Reed wanted TO know about
incidental expenses.
=. j. Hennelly said Judge GaZcly
| had voiced his sentiments, but he did
not want TO be counted as opposing
the bonds, and he would make "A sug
gestion that $4,000 be substituted fOl
Sl0O,OOO, and the school director,
asked TO make the change. This he
would place as a motion, and judge
| KellOg seconded.
After further discussion by Judg,
| Keiiog, II. r. Thistle and Judge
| GaZcly, II. G. Reed moved, as az
amendment, that the school directors
be requested to withdraw the motto,
altogether. The motion was second
ed by Judge Lindsay, who said tba
the matter should be dealt with in Z
liberal spirit; the children in thci
| mothers arms we're not taken int,
consideration. We were free men
why make slaves Of them? Were VI
enlightened? Savages killed thci
lprisOner and ate him; we civilized our
and then made slaves Of them, and ST
we, in order to free ourselves, wOult
place the burdens on our children
lie would vote against any bonds.
The chair then put the amcndmcn
which was carried and the motion wa
accordingly declared lost.
a motion 10 adjourn was quickly j
order; IL was made and the scancc wa
over.

Big TREES and CROAKERS
People Who Think a Timber
Exhibit at the Worlds
Fair Useless
Our Resources Have Masquer-
AIDED Long Enough--Big
Trees Measured
Independence of Washingto
Emphasized Grains in
the Grass

SEATTLE, July 2S.-Wheneyer a
Washington big tree is mentioned as
appropriate for an exhibit at the
Worlds Fair, some one is heard TO re-
mark that California will show so
much larger big trees that it is foolish
for Washington TO compete. That is
just what will be overcome at the
Worlds Fair, The people Of the
whole country have become familiar
with the fame Of CalifOrHia's big trees,
OregOns pine, Oregon salmon and
Oregon wheat, all at the expense Of
WashingtOn's magnificent resources,
which have been masquerading under
false colors. The Worlds Fair affords
an opportunity Of setting this all
straight If California should be given
the palm for timber without a strug-
gle, how is the fact that she consumes
go 600 900 feet OF Washington lumber
annually to be accounted for? This
state cannot show "A monster like one
Of the California redwOOds, but we
can show great specimens OF the lum-
Der that wins its way into every avail
able market.
Reports are coming in from almost
every county in Western Washington
Of some big trees discovered for the
| Worlds Fair. The most definite
| knowledge has been contributed by
Mr.. S. ii. Soule and Mr.. j. NJ. Saar OF
Sumas city. who recently explored a
forest OF big trees. They measured fiji
trees from nine TO fourteen feet ~
| diameter, six feet from the roots, and
these trees run from 300 to 400 feet In
height. A perfect spruce was alst
| found which measured fourteen feet
i'm diameter. Specimens like these,
with cedar trunks five feet square and
100 feet long, without knot or
| blemish-thesc are what will be shown
| to attract the lumber makers u
Washington, and to help establish
! markets in the east.
The executive committee OF the
! Washington Worlds Fair commission
again emphasized the fact that all in
| yitations to Join with other new
| Northwestern states will be cOurte
ously but firmly declined. Severa
propositions have been brought before
the commission, but since this new
state has been so generous in its ap
preparation, the commission is gOinl
10 be careful TO gain every advantage
Of a grand exhibit Of Washington re
sources, separate and distinct from al
others.
A novel feature Of the Washington
photograph exhibit will be the pic
lures Of cabins made by settler
without the aid Of even a whip
saw. There are many cabin
along Puget sound made 0
"shakes" split from cedar logs, an'
the cabins look as neat as If side,
with the finest rustic. These, wit
the old-fashioned log cabins, vii
make an attractive group OF scenes.
Large quantities OF grain in tn
grass will be gathered in Easter
Washington during the next few days
This will all be stored in the stat
expositions until needed for tn
Worlds Fair. Thus IL will serve a
an exhibit now andbe ready for use a
the big fair in Chicago.

Denver enterprise in securing manu-
featuring establishments for that city
has been SO amply rewarded that her
people are pushing for more. The
Times of that city thus recites the OPP,
portunities that are awaiting capital:
All kinds of manufactures, where iron OF
steel enters largely into the construction Of
the manufactured article can be profitably
carried on here on account of the low cost
of raw material from the large iron and
steel works now being established. Such
industries rs locomotive works, car shops,
store works, mining machinery, agricultu-
raj implements. iron and steel bridges, tool
factories for the production of such articles
as picks, shovels, axes, drills, ETC., iron pipe
works, wire factory and nail factories can
all be profitably prosecuted here.
The production of cotton and WOODEN
goods which has heretofore been neglected,
can find in thisc city a limitless field for re-
munerative operations.
Denver presents a promising field for the
manufacture of boots and hoes and all
classes of leather goods. According to the
report of the Denver chamber of commerce
for 1889, there were shipped into the city
during that year $1,000 hides and in addi-
ton to this number the packing houses of
the city furnished $1,000 more, making a
grand total of 1000 or over us carloads.
Sheep are to be had in the same proportion.
This enormous home production of hides
would make the establishment of tanneries,
boot and shoe factories, harness and other
similar factories very desirable.
In the vicinity of Denver are large depos-
its of the best quality of pottery clay, from
which the best pottery may be made.
There is also found the best kaolin, field
spar, silica and plastic clay for the manu-
facture of china ware. Tests made of these
different materials prove them to be of as
fine a quality as IN found in the United
States.
Thu manufacture of glass is one of the
probabilities of the near future, for Color
ado possesses the silica. soda, potassa and
all the other materials that enter into its
manufacture, in unlimited quantities.
The production of many mines of Color
ado is composed almost entirely of lead
ores. These ores being reduced at home.
unlimited quantities of lead are to he had
at q minimum cost, thus making possible
the establishment here Of white lead facto
ries that would have among other advan-
tages the price of raw material reduced to
the lowest possible cost. This same can be
said of copper goods and lead pipe works.
Here are abundant suggestions for
Helena capitalists.

Dates to Remember.

The first railroad in this country was
built IN 1927. 1t was a horse road, and was
built for hauling granite from the auarries
at Quincy, Mass, to the Neponset river.
The first street car line in the world for
conveying passengers through the streets of
a city was built on Fourth avenue, New
York, and put in operation in 1881.
The second street car line was opened for
traffic on Sixth avenue in August, 1852.
The first street car line i'll Europe was
built in B~irkenhead, England, by George
Francis Train, in 1860. The enterprise was
not received with favor, the tracks were
torn up, as were also those of another liue
in the suburbs of London laid in 1866, anl
not until 1868 was Il line in practical opera
ton in the old country.-and this WAS il
the streets of Liverpool.
The first elevated road was 1cabls road
and was built and operated on Greenwich
street, New York, BY Charles Z. Harley il
1868. This was the beginning of tue pres en-,
New York elevated system by steam, which
was in%augurated in 1871.
The first street cable line was built by A
s. Hallidie, in San Francisco, Cal, and pu
IN operation in August, 1873. Many year
previous to this, however, cable traction
had been successfully employed upon Ger
tam railways in coal mines.

DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT, of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, has requested the
ladies Of his church to furnish home
made cakes for the refreshment of the
members of the association of Congre-
g%ational churches which meets in that
city this week. The Philadelphia
Record thinks something sinister is con-
cealed in the suggestion. IT believes
that possibly the church is getting
ready to embrace ultra Calvinlsm, and
proposes to lay the foundation for it by
giving the theology of it's ministers a
dyspeptic turn, or that somebody is to be
tried for heresy. This Is It's conclusion:
AS a matter of fact, there are many uses
for homemade cake, as there are for bits
of old red sandstone, other than as weapons
of a militant sort. 1t is useful for paper
weights; it is excellent to dream upon; it is
inimitable as an ornament for parlor what
nots; and it it likewise not infrequenlly
made use of in an edible way. 1t is in the
latter function, in all probability, that it Is
desired at the coming conclave: and It was
q happy thought to solicit it-happy in the
compliment implied to the fair bakers, and
in the congenial sense of deep religious
gloom with which it is sure to fill all the
bosoms of those who may be partakert
of it..
