Dee-s Of the Great Northern and Union Pacific

1t seems to be still unsettled whether " g.

Pacific, VIII supervise the construction of this
road or not. The circular announcing the APP
pointment of T. B. Smeed as chief engineer
made no mention OF Nr. Bogue's future work,

he has entirely severed his connection with the
road 1t is believed that f. III. Becker, chief
engineer OF the Great Northern, viii have direct
charge OF the work ana will have a Great North

Union Pacific engineers have been taken of

furnaces in the basement, while lightw be ak

At present the scholars are divided into three

siderable annoyance 10 the teachers, as well as
making II necessary 10 turn away many new ep-
psicants The seating capacity, as figured by the
school board, will be in the neighborhood of 30.
Such a building as this, added TO the present
quarters, gives Ballard school room second to no

The school district Is in a fourishing condi-
ton, and desires securing every advantage OBJ

pletion OF the new building with pleasure, and
are anxious for its completion.

Fishing syndicate Formed.

Ballard is to have new industry in the shape
of a fsh-euring establishment. A syndicate has
been formed TO send vessels to the Alaskan
waters and return with their catches to that
town. The capital stock is in the neighborhood
of $4,000, and employment will be given about
sixty men, including the crews or the schooners.
Three vessels will be sent out about April LIST,
and the first of them viii return about May 18th.

The gentlemen forming the syndicate are
Messrs. Skowe, Toss and Bertelson, all of whom
are practical men in the business. They are also
familiar with the canning industry, and expect
10 add this branch OF the business to their under
taking as soon as circumstances will warrant.
This movement is looked upon with favor by the
