persons to take charge OF the county poor farm.

Charles Ross, medical student. was employed
as general overseer OF the farm DR.. Coe, who

favorable report TO the commissioners. 1t was
shown that the expense OF the farm, including
salaries, only averaged 80 cents a head per day
for the thirty patients on the farm In time the
commissioners expect the iarm to become self

mayor elected under the charter Is required to
appoint five commissioners, OF whom one shall
serve for one year and until his successor is ap-
pointed aud qualified. II was 10 this position
Colonel sheaie was appointed aud there can be
no doubt that il is the intention Of the charter
that the Office should be held by the same in
cumbent for fully one year.
An informal talk took place between the COM
missioners a. To the necessity of having the ele
yator running In the evenings aud on SUNDAYS
for the accommodations Of visitors IL was
equally desirable. they agreed, TO have the
rooms heated at night, and concluded to have
these advantages stip uiated In the lease

appointed 70 make selections, and desired to
adapt her list 10 the means available. Ii was de-
eided TO defer decision until II had been ascer-
tanned what the cost of fitting up the rooms
with absolutely necessary furniture would be.

committees will continue its preliminary work
and meet again in a few days.

All Pushing Toward the straits.

In speaking of the present railroad situation
in the Northwest, man prominent in railroad
circles yesterday said
''The predictions of q year ago, that none OF
the great transcontinental railroad companies
would rest satisfied until they had reached the
point on Puget sound originally selected by
and afterward Endorsed By Cooke, Willard,
Dillon, Gould and Hill, and that they would all
push their rails TO Anacortes, on Fid8lgo island,
are beginning TO be fully realized. Recent de
velopments show that all the great roads are
hurrying TO that point with unusual activity.
The Northern Pacific was the first 10 reach the
enyied goal, over the Seattle & Northern. and
through trains are now running To their ocean
dock az Anaeortes. But they are not satisfied
with this. they intend to have shorter route
the skagit has received instructions TO push on
into the Cascades. which means that Ii is the in
tention TO connect the Washington Central with
the ssagit valley line to AnaeOrtes soon as
possible
ssThe great Northern is Fastening work on its
Pacific extension. Supplies are now being con-
centrated west OF the mountains, and the line
hurried 10 the sea coast terminus
AT present the Northern Pacific il within a
few miles OF its connection with the Westmins-
ter & Southern, and this will give Anacortes
connection with the Canadian Pacific via Sedro.
IL is expected Canadian Pacific through trains
viii run into Anaeortes by February /.
willard, too, is again really in power over his
old road, and his original plan to reach the city
nj the Stfaits.of Fuca will be carried out. The
indications are positive. Already large tracts OF
land have been bonded in the skagit valley, and
surveyors are in there. This all means that ac-
tive operations will soon be in progress 10 push
that road To- Anacortes oy way OF the ekagit pass
s.Goyernor stevens dream Is at last being real
lied, and the great work OF tapping the Straits
OF Fuca, already accomplished by the Northern
other great lines. The growth Of Anaeories, as
the result OF this, cannot be estimated"
