THE GREAT NORTHERN.
Rapid Progress Made on the Western
Extension.

Rapid Progress Made on the Western
Extension.
Col. w. P. Clough, vice-presdent of the
Great Northern, in II recent interview in
Seattle, gave the following interesting in
formation of the progress of the western
extension and the proposed Puget sound
line: THE line from here to Portland is
yet under consideration. The arrangement
between the Union Pacific and the Great
Northern contemplated that the latter
should have an opportunity to examine
and consider the proposed routes before
going on with construction, and the
Great Northern has never had that chance
till within the past few weeks. The sub
jpct of the route is now under cOnsidera-
ton and, being matter of Very great
consequence, will receive very careful
study. Whether the result will be the
resumption of work on the existing line
or the abandonment of that line and the
location of new one, is something that
cannot be decided for some little time
yet. Examinations are now being made
with the view of getting at all the pos
slbili;ies afforded by the country between
the two points.
"Nrither Mr.. Bogue nor Mr.. Becklel
has yet been given authoritative charge
over the construction of the line, so far
rs the Great Northern is concerned. The
main line from the east is progressing
with great rapidly. One hundred and
thirty miles OF track have been laid from
the eastern end, and the grade has been
completed from the end of the track to
the summit of the Rocky mountains
From the summit to the KOOtenai river
the line is covered with graders. As fast
AS the location is decided ON the line will
be put under contract and covered with
men. The line has not been decided on
further than the eastern line of Wash
ington, and it will not he practicable tC
do so until decision has been made a.
to the pass in the Cascade range which
will he adopted. That will probably be
decided within the next ninety days. We
DO not expect to tiud Il pass in the Gas.
cadrs which we can traverse without a
tunnel.
The expectation is that the terminal
shops and yards will be at ThOmpsOn'|
Cove, and in all probability they will he
the main ones for the sound. The Off
cial terminus of the Great Northern ha.
been declared in its Pacific extension
mortgage to be at Seattle and was fix
long ago. We are making every effort
to get our transcOntnental line finished
by Jan. l, 1893, and 10y that time, trust
IL Portland line will be finished. Still
that may he somewhat delayed by various
implications"

MORE THAN A MILE A MINUTE.
A Train on the New York Central Runs

A Train on the New York Central Runs
436 Miles In 426 Minutes.
BUFFALO, Sept. IA wonderful feat
of railroading has been accomplished by
the New York Central road-a feat that
eclipses everything else ever accom-
plished in the line of rapid travelling.
The record for long distance running
was not only broken, but left way out
Of sight. 1t has been demonstrated that
train can not only make sixty miles an
hour, but can keep it up for 40 miles.
The train that arrived at East Buffalo
at 1850 p. M. left the Grand Central de-
pot, New York, at Z 40 a. IN. It made
the run, including three stops, in 440
minutes, the distance being 1851 miles.
The stops were made at Albany, SYRIA
cuse and Fairport-at the two former
places to change engines, and at Fair
port to take water and to cool hot
Journal on the engine. The Syracuse
and Albany stops were three and half
minutes each and the Fafport stop seven
minutes. Deducting from the time thus
lost, the actual running time was 426
minutes. The train consisted of three
heavy passenger cars. The fastest mile
was made in forty-eight seconds. The
best previous long distance run on record
was made by the Scotch mail. It was
55.4 miles an hour for 500 miles three
year ago.

a PLAN AGREED UPON.
Minnesota worlds Fair Commissioners
Hold an Important Meeting.

Minnesota Worlds Fair Commissioners
Hold an Important Meeting.
ST.. PAUL, Sept. IA meeting of the
Minnesota State Worlds Fair commits
sion was held at the governors Office IN
the capitol building. President D. A.
Monfort presided, and all the members
were present except M. B. Harrison Of
Duluth and Secretary Reeve, who is at
present on trip through the North
west. There existed unanimity Of
opinion that it would be impossible for
the state to make an exhibit worthy Of
its greatness without at least 800, 900 in
addition to the $4,000 appropriated by
the legislature. This being agreed up
ON, the first problem that faced the COM
mission was the ways and means OF
raising the desired amount. The greater
part of the session was consumed in
discussing this question. All idea OF
attempting to have an extra session OF
the legislature called for the purpose Of
appropriating the necessary money was
abandoned. It was decided to issue an
appeal to counties of the state, through
the public press, asking them to volun-
tarily contribute the amount, on the
basis of the assessed valuation of the
property as returned by the assessors In
1890. It was thought that when 1t came
TO be appreciated that the assessment of
only IT of mill on each 800 would be
sufficient to furnish all that was asked,
it could be secured by unity of action.
OF the amount required the two large
cities of the state would, under this
plan, contribute nearly one-half or $46,-
600, and the balance could easily be
raised by the counties In this year Of
bounteous harvests.
Nothing was heard Of any member Of
the commission resigning, and they all
seemed enthusiastic in their hopes Of
making the Minnesota exhibit credit
able one. A prominent member of the
commission denied that any such action
was contemplated by any one, although
they all served without pay, and from
purely patriotic motives.
The commission adjourned at y p. m,
subject to the call of the president.
