THE LAKE SHORE LINE.
Negotiations Pending for q Sale to the
Great Northern.

Negotiations Pending for q Sale to the
Great Northern.
President Cakes. OF the Northern Pacific,
being asked how much truth there was in a
rumor of the sale of a portion Of the Seat
tie. Lake Shore & Eastern line to the Great
Northern, answered that negotiations were
going on between the two companies for
the sale Of %ifty-ons miles of the line from
Spokane Falle to Davenport. There are
two lines, including the section referred to,
between these points and both Hill and
Cakes are DESTROYS of avoing the construc-
ton of a third line. No actual sale has yst
taken place, but this proshects are favora-
BILE. Strictly speaking there ia no traffic
alliance bstwesn the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific companies on the
Pacific coast business. for the very good
reason that thu Great Northern line has
not yet reached the Pacific coast. Judging
from the experience with the Great North
ern in Montana and elsewhere, where the
two companies are in competition for bust
ness, Cakes has no doubt that harmony
will prevail when the Great Northern enters
this field for Pacific coast traffic. Gro
gonian.

Henry Willard on the Union Paciic's Fn-

CUT on the Dendheads.

The contract for the construction Of the
transcontinental line of the Great Northern
railroad from the sound to the summit OF
the Cascade mountains has been let to
Shepard. Henry u Co., and work il to begin
as soon az the mon and outfit can DO put on
the ground. says the Portland Oregon
ian. This section il eighty miles
long and extends from Everett, at the
mouth of the Snohomish river, up the loft
bank of that stream, of tho Skykomish
main stream and of the south fork of the
Skykomish to Stevens Pass. 1t includes all
work ON the western sid Of the mountains
as far as the tunnel at the summit. Az the
contractors already have their grading out
fit on the sound, having just completed the
Seattle d Montana line, there will be no de-
lay in placing it on tho line and be-
ginning operations. Tn first thing to do
will be to make Z corduroy road along the
whole line in order to get in supplies. There
il a road along the north bank of the Sno-
homish and Skykomish rivers, but ii is inn
passable at this season of the year. and it
will be cheaper to build q new road b to
repair it. Accordingly, q large force of
laborers and teams will be put to work
Immediately to clear the road and corduroy
IT.. Whom that is done, construction will
begin along the whole line, and will be
pushed vigorously. This section is to be
finished by the end of 1892. The line will
run along tho broad, level bottom lands
through the Snohomish and lower Skyko-
mish valleys. Along the S%kykomish it will
traverse = belt of denss, heavy timber, in
volving expensive clearing. The grading
will be principally earthwork along the
western end. but in the mountains there
will be considerable heavy rock cutting and
little tunneling. The principle tunnel,
which will be nearly. if not quite, two miles
long, will probably be bored under q separ-
ate contract. This work will give employ
nent to between 1000 and 5000 men and
will involve an expenditure of about 81, 50o.-
600. The company has 200 miles to build
from Spokane to onnect with the tunnel
at the summit. They are negotiating with
the Union Pacific to purchase the parti-
ally completed line between Portland and
Seattle aud it ID more than likely that work
will be resume on this line in the spring.
In a year. or a year and a half, the Great
Northern will be running trains into Port
land.
