THE GREAT NORTHERN.
ST. PAUL, May 2S.-W. t. Wood,
late of the Washington Improve
ment company, has been visitor at
the railroad offices. In speaking OF
the proposed route of the Great
Northern through the Cascade
mountains, Mr.. Wood says he be
lieves that Skagit pass will be Sc
lected as the most practicable and
expeditions of any yet proposed.
There is no doubt but that the chief
engineer has located the route, and
Skagit pass is more direct, and con-
templates less engineering difficulty
than either of the others from Col
vile, the present terminus of the
Spokane & Northern. The Great
Northern, If it tunnels the Cascades
by Skagit pass, will strike Chelan
,slake and then run down the Skagit
/ river, tapping a fine and fertile
country. This line would shorten
the distance from st. Paul to Puget
sound by fully 400 miles.
