Gait and the Canadian Pacific.

Sir A. T. Gait, in an interview with a
L~ethbridge News reporter, said there was
no foundation for the rumors going the
rounds of the Canadian press of changes to
be made in the operation and ownership of
his railway and mines. There has been
some little difficulty experienced IN INTRO
ducing the coal into the markets of Mon
tana," said Mr.. Gait. ''but they are being
rapidly overcome. 1t is not the intention
of the company to build the Crows Nest
railway this year, but an application mas
been made to parliament for a charter to
extend the road from the westerly end OF
the line to some point on the Canadian "a
cifc railway in British Columbia. This
road will undoubtedly be built in the near
future, and the Lethbridge coal mines be
brought into connection with the mineral
deposits of the mountains"
President Van Horne. of the Canadian
Pacific, says his road intends to make ex-
tensive improvements in the mountains. this
and next year, and very large additions
would be made to the rolling stock, sixty
locomotives and a large number of freight
and passenger cars already being ordered:
The Souris coal fields would be reached
this wear. The report that the company
would build a bridge across the Red river
at Sellirk was unfounded. The Calgary
and Edmonton railway would probably be
extended fifty miles southerly, during the
year. He would not discuss the question
of the rumored acquisition of the Northern
Pacific and Manitoba railway system IN
Manitoba by the Central Pacific railway.

A Game of Chess.

The situation between the Northern Pa
cifc and the Great Northern in the Big
Bend country is growing decidedly inter
esting, says the Seattle Telegraph. 1t is
row almost certain that the Great Nor
thern will parallel the Northern Pacific, or
the Washington Central, as the line is
called, from a point a few miles east of
Davenport to Coulee City, a distance of al
most 100 miles, the Great Northern running
on the north side and thus making the best
bid for the splendid wheat districts that
are situated in the neighborhood of Fort
spokane. As now located, the Great Nor
town of Davenport. The Washington Cen
trail runs sofne distance to the south, SO that
the town cannot be seen from the station.
Two parties of railroad officials-one of
the Northern Pacific, the other of the Great
Northern, went out OF the Washington
Central yesterday afternoon. Among them
was Mr.. McHenry, the new assistant engi-
neer of the Northern Pacific. The destina-
ton of both parties was Coulee City. En-
gineer Stevens, of the Great Northern, went
out to Coulee City several days ago.
The great problem now is, What will be
the course of the Great Northern after
leaving Couiee City? Will it &C down
Moses ooulee, cross the Columbia q little
below the mouth of the Wenatchee and 90
,2p the Wenatchee valley to the summit of
the Cascade range, crossing at Stevens
pass, or will it 60 down Foster creek and
strike the Columbia near the mouth Of the
Okanogan?
This Northern Pacific has carefully To-
Gated lines both to Wateryille and to the
Columbia by the Foster creek route. If the
Great Northern should build down Moses
coulee. it is believed the Northern Pacific
would part company with that line at Cou-
lee City, go down Foster creek and ovel
into the Okanogan country. drawing up al
Ruby, which is the center of the mining
district of most Importance.

Wealthy Northern Pacific.

Thomas +. Cakes, president of the North
ern Pacific, confirms the report that the
directors OF that road have authorized tho
purchase of the preferred stock of the com
pany with the money to be received f ON
the Manitoba land case, recently decided
by the United States Supreme court in favor
of the Norther Pacific.
ave think we will get the money about
May 25," said Mr.. Cakes. ON the mean-
time the company has plenty of money on
hand to purchase stock, should the market
condition warrant it. The directors have
also authorized the expediture of 500, 900
for the improvement of the property. We
find that by reducing grades at certain
points we can save in operating expenses
$5O0,000 annually

H IA - Wa
cod. coming into Helena run Sunday ex-
c-rr.ions from different sections to the CAPT
al during the summer season. Local rail-
road officials favor the plan, and are OF the
opinion that the move would prove quite d
popular one. In previous years IT has been
the custom to run excursions out OF Hell
ona. Int there is now a growing demand
from outside sections for excursion rates
ma o week or so to the capital city. OF
nil the cities in the state Helena certainly
offers the greatest inducements to spend
Enndav. on account of the various attrac-
xions II has to offer and the many pleasant
aide trips which can be taken from the cap,
;tal. Take the country within a radius OF
100 or 1870 miles Of the city, and there are
thousands of people who would during the
summer. at excursion rates, visit Helena
for the purpose of spending the
day or a portion OF 1t az
the Broadwater. Nine-tenths OF the
who visit the capital on business make at
least one visit to the hotel and natatorlum,
md those who have families regret that
e.cursions are not run by the railroads so
Tint the expense of a family visit would not
be SO great.
In addition to the attractions at the
Broadwater, trains could be so run. or tick
cts 90 limited. as to enable ex~cursionlsts to
visit the Gate of the Mountains and enjoy a
ride on the Missouri, or take a trip to the
Albau,ra Springs, That excursions to
Helena would be much more to the proht OF
the railroads, owing to the larger patronage
they would receive, than those from 1t, IS
without question, and the proper presenta-
ton Of the matter to those who have the
power to act, will undoubtedly meet with a
favorable response.

GAY. Napolson Advice.

Napoleon Bonaparte had no more de-
voted and disinterested friend than Gas
pard Monge, the illussrious academician
and founder Of 'Ecole Polytechnique On
one occasion be demonstrated his regard
by giving the great general some unwel-
come advice.
Napoleon announced his intention OF

Monge frankly expressed his disapproval
OF the plan.
You have not time to write good pa
per, and yeu cannot afford TO write poor
one. The eyes of the world are upon you.
Whatever you write will be severely criti-
cisei.
