miners or the wives of miners from Black
Diamond and franklin, only one of them being

wits during the week in designing original COS

for the occasion. At midnight the dancers viii
unmssk and the prizes viii be presented, after
which supper will be served.

PRESIDENT DUNHAM RETURNS.
Settling With Northern Pacific-Eastern
CapitaliktS Still Timid.

A S. Durham. president of the Seattle, Lake
Shore & Eastern railroad, returned yesterday

money matters, because they do not know what
may turn up on the other side of the Atlantic or
in South America, but this country is pro-
nounced al right. Everybody is looking for

MAY SELL THE SPOKANE END.
Northern Pacific Deal With Great
Northern Lake shore Line.

The New York Sun OF November % says:
President I. +. Cakes. of the Northern Pacific,
yesterday verified the report of possible sale
OF a portion of the Seattle, Lake Shore d East
ern railroad 10 the Great Northern. Negotia-
tons are IN progress to turn over TO the Great
Northern the ffty-one-miie strip from Spokane
to Davenport President Cakes said that there
were already two lines between the points men,
toned, and both he ana Mr.. Hill are DESTROYS of
avoiding the construction of third one.
Strictly speaking. said Mr. Cakes, there is no
traffic alliance between the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern on Pacific coast business, for the
very reason that the latter has not yet reachsd
the Coast But he thought that harmony would
no doubt continue between the two transcon-
unental systems.
The eastern end of the Lake Shore road paral-
lels the Central Washington railroad, which be-
longs to the Northern Pacific, for lis whole
length, and thus the Northern Pacific has no
use for it. The survey OF the Great Northern
from Spokane westward closely parallels this
line, so that 1t would be useful to that system.
The Lake Shore also has valuable terminal
grounds at Spokane which would be desirable
acquisition TO the Great Northern though the
Northern Pacific may not be willing TO include
them in the sale The Great Northern survey
closely follows that of the Lake Shore from
Davenport westward, that the purchase of
this lire would save the time necessary to con-
struct fifty -one miles Of road without lengthen-
ing the line at all.
