COMPLETED JANUARY s,

The Last Spike on the Great Northern Will
He Driven That Day.
Jan. 5 ia the latest date set for the COM
pletion of the Great Northern railroad
aoross the state to Puget sound, says the Spo-
kane Chreniole. This statement is made
by ii. g. Coydendall. superintendent of the
Great Northern grading work. who is now
in Spokane. He is just from the construc-
ton camp which is now near the summit
of the Cascades. They are laying track
O at an average rate of about q mile a
day. The chief drawback to rapid track
laying Is the heavy fall Of snow, which has
to be removed ahead of the tracklayers.
Six or seven hundred men are kept at work
all the time in order to accomplish this muoh.
Mr.. Coykendall said that in two weeks more
they would tinish the switchback over The
Cascades. When the men cease work to-
night, he said, there would be soime thirteen
or fourteen miles OF track to lay before they
would join the two ends of the road. 1T 10
probable" said Mr.. CoykendRll. that the
road will be completed by Jan. 8. though
there is nothing certain about 1t, rs nc one
can tell what difficulties may have to be
encountered before that time, but it seems
as if that will be about the time the last
spike will be driven. The road is being
ballasted right behind the construction
train, so that as soon as tracklaying is tin
shed the road will be completed and ready
for traffic"

A Fire Alarm and Some Excitement on
Main Street.
Plumbers OF work in the basement of the
unoccupied building OF north Main street,
next to the Hotter block, had occasion to
burn some waste yesterday afternoon. The
thick smoke which poured up through the
grating led some one to suppose the place
was on fire, and an alarm was turned in
from box SO, at Main street and Sixth ava
nue.. The fire department responded
promptly and though they found nothing
to work on they had a good run. The truck
was the object of considerable admiration,
not only on account of the fast time made,
but also for the skillful manner in which
the team was handled. Coming down Main
street it reached Grand at full speed. Some
one hailed the driver and told him there
was no fire. In spite of the slippery condi-
tion of the street Driver Richards pulled up
his horses in front of the scene OF the ex-
