GREAT NORTHERN GRADE.
Almost fmperceptible for Seventy eight
Miles North of Seattle.


Miles North of Seattle.
W. p. Watson, principal assistant engineer of
the Seattle and Montana line, viii leave during
this week for a trip over the Great Northern
road to New Westminster He said yesterday
he had heard that certain statements had been
made which would lead the public to believe
that the grade on the Great Northern was
heavier than on any other road running north
from Seattle.
"The fact of the matter is" said the engineer,
"the Lake Shore road has an average grade of
ninety-fve feet to the mile against traffic going
north, and the Seattle Montana has only
seventy-five foot grade in the same direction
Against traffic going south, the Lake Shore had
ninety-hve foot grade, while the Seattle and
Montana has a ninety or eighty-fve foot grade
except for about five or six miles near Fairhaven
when for that distance the grade is 1l6 feet"
"For seventy eight miless north of Seattle our
road has at no place over a twenty seven foot
grade to the mile, and in many places the grade
is even below that. This means for that dis
lance very cheap haul. 1t means that the
engine that could haul but ten cars over
ninety-five foot grade could haul about forty
over twenty-five foot grade"
The contracts call for the completion of the
eleven section and watch-houses and nine de-
pots by November /, and Mr.. Watson sees moth
ing ahead that viii not permit an occupancy of
these buildings by the contract time. Work is
progressing satisfactorily on the twelve miles of
ballasting still to be done about Mukilteo, and
at the present rate ballasting will be completed
by November /. Mr.. Watson gave il as his opin-
ion that November would see the road in opera
ton. The British Columbia people are taking
q deep interest in the road. The deSst ana ter
minal grounds are being put in shape across the
Frasier river, which at this point is about i.sOo
feet wide. Passengers will be taken over for
the present on a steam ferry-boat about the
size of the North Seattle ferry.
Judging by the tons of stationery in the Great
Northerns office there can be no doubt but that
the ofhcials expect to begin active operations at
an early date Cart loads of all sorts of blanks
are on hand and will be issued at the proper
time

lively agreed TO vote for Seattle.

The association requires the full vote. II three

The first days advance sale for the engage
ment OF Keene. who opens with "Louis XII" on
Wednesday night at the Seattle opera house,
was quite large, and in fact equalled that OF
the Davenport engagement Keene will have
fine success in Seattle, judging by the advance
sales. Mr. Keenes version OF the play presents
Louis XI. in the same light as does Sir Walter
Scott in Quentin Durward,' and is the joint
work OF the eminent playwrights Edwin Arden
and Arden Smith. Both actor and bard agree in
making the character thoroughly bad. Keene
brings out to the fullest extent the meanness and
treachery of the old king. His portrayal of the
character represents the monarch as q decrepit
old man, half maniac and yet possessed of dew
iiish shrewdness, at all times fearful of the loss
OF his crown, superstitious as the most ignorant
OF his peasant subjects, and cruel and savage as
wild beast. Gradually the interest OF the play is
worked up, until in the scene in which he begs
the priest to prolong his life, he apparently
ceases to act He is the king. 1t Is the truly
great play presented by a great actor. and viii
no doubt attract large audience

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Cordray Theater

An evening of rare fun and thorough enjoy
ment was spent by all who attended the second
performance OF "Nip aud Tuck at the Cordrsy
theater last night There was infectious laugh
ter and an exuberance Of good feeling that over
flowed infermittentsy in expressions Of compl-
mentary nature for both the play and the per-
formers. Sam Morris has wide field in the
part OF Nicholas Nipto display his versatility,
and the amazing rapidity and ease with which
he gilded from one character TO another In his
various DISCUSSES only tended 10 strengthen his
record as many-sided comedian. He was skill
full TO hide his identity in all the aliases en-
pioyed. ard whether 1t was in the simple garb
OF q gardeners apprentice, the frills and
wig OF dignIted sootman or the unostentatious
apparel of weli-to-do business man, he bore
himself with admirable discretion and artistic
finesse. Johnny Williams made most impress
i've figure as Tracer Tuck, the '.misiorchinate"
colleague Of an unprincipled sspardner.' IN
this case Mr.. Williams impressiveness lay in his
power 20 uDloose the caehinnatory bands OF the
most csthetic, and peais of merry laughter at
fehded his discontinue as well as his short
lived triumphs. Mr. George Vessels pleased
everyone by his clever impersonation of DR.. La
Gore, and Messrs. Berry and Elmer appeared to
fine advantage as Major Tremaine and
Mercury Sampson, respectively. No one
who saw Miss Isabel Morris in the
part OF dashing Fanny Dashleigh
could help admiring the art and grace displayed.
As depicted by Miss Morris, Fanny was de-
lectabe creature, II slightly untractable, and
her natty style of dressing covered a multitude
OF sins The Lady Beaufort OF Miss Belle inman
was outlined with the care and good taste usu-
ally apparent in all her work. Miss Margaret
Marshall gave an excellent Characterization of
Sarah Truegold, the wrongly suspected nurse,
and little Liska Davis performed her part very
cleverly. Mr.. Jean Weiner played the role of
Matthews intelligently and with proper regard
for the. requirements of the character. The
auditorium was well patronized, and the per-
formance yielded the utmost satisfaction to all
