JIM HILL GOES EAST.
With Spokane Right-of-Way
Guarantee in His Pocket.
TRACK REACHES ALBANY FALLS.
Prospect Of Completion OF Port Town
send southern-The Oregon Pacino
NJ Transcontinental Line.

SPOKANE. Feb. W-President Hill, OF the
Great Northern, returned East this morning,
after making a very successful tour OF the
Northwest He came first to Spokane, met
1000 citizens in the opera-house, explained the
difficulties his line must encounter to get into
the city and what he proposed to dol he should
come here, and then modestly asked for
right-of-way through the city. The mass
meeting promptly voted it to MIN.
1t was then learned that the contem-
plated right-of-way went through the
heart OF the city, and, avoiding the use OF streets
called for about four miles OF private property,
worth 100000. A right-of-way committee
completed the work in a week, and when Mr..
Hill departed tonight he had guarantees OF the
right-of- way in his pocket. While here Mr.. Hill
expressed himself quite clearly about the pol
ices of Western railroads. He spoke Of the diff
cultles Chicago people are now encountering by
reason OF railroads crossing their streets 1T
grade. and required here rlght-of-way over
private property and providing for subways
and elevated roads across leading streets
which have to be crossed, SO that he can
get through the city with bis trains without
endangering life. He expressed his belief that
the present policy of transcontinental lines OF
hauling freight through to terminals at low
rate and then back to the interior at higher
rate was illegal, and that it would not stand
in the courts OF the United States.
On Monday word will be given which will
put 10000 men to work on the line between the
summit OF the Rocky mountains and the Co
lumbia river, 200 miles west OF spokane. 1t Is
expected that the track will be laid to Spokane
by May and to the Columbia river by August
!. The line will Gro 8 the Columbia near the
mouth Of the Wenatchee river, and ascend the
Cascade mountains by way OF Wenatchee pass.
At the summit there will be a tunnel 1900 feet
long. Spokane will be division terminal.

Governor of New Hampshire.

Nashington's fame is almost unique in this,
that IL grows with the lapse OF time. Party
prejudice and blindness obseured and dinncd
some of his greatness while he lived, but the
voice OF detractiou aud rivalry has long since
ceased TO vibrate even as distant echo. The
generations that have passed since he retired
from public lie have taken up the swelling
anthem with ever increasing approval. His
majestic and serene figure symbolizes cur
national greatness, and stands our
ideal OF American liberty. There is
nothing bat sweetness in the fra
grant memory OF his service. Perhaps
Be tuilied more wisely than he knew, for it is
certain that in serving and saving his country's
cause he served the human race Whatever
doubts may rise as TO other chiefs among men, it
is now adjudicated by the unanimous consent
OF mankind that Washington towers conspicu-
ousiy and unchallenged among the beneiaetors
OF his kind.
May we not say of him as Horace of Jupiter,
"Nec vigH qaicqUGm stHsi!e cut Seetsndanf Nor
fourishes any being similar or even second TO
him"

COL. HOGG MUST PAY.
Sheriff Demands Balance Due on Oregon
Pacific-The Extension.

PORTLAND, Feb 20.--The sheriff of Benton
county made demand on Colonel I. Egerton
Hogg, receiver OF the Oregon Pacific railroad
for the balance of 81, 900 to be paid by him
and Zephin Job as the purchase price of the
road, but the money was not forthcoming.
Colonel Hogg pleaded for three days
grace, which was allowed. He has been in
seclusion at Corvallis for several days, but APP
peared on the streets today. The sale will not
be confirmed until the is money paid. Further
developments are expected on Tuesday. Peo-
pie along the line OF the constructed and pro-
posed road through Oregon and Idaho are deep
ly interested in the outcome OF the internecine
strife among the Eastern bondhold ers of this
road The injunction suit begun in the
United States circuit court few days ago is at
a standstill owing to the inability Of deputy
United States marshals to serve papers on BE-
ceiver Hogg
The 0regonidn says:
1t is given out that the new management has
ordered work to begin on the eastern extension.
The prospect OF this road being completed to
an eastern connection is one more alarming, If
possible, than those which threaten the exist
ing lines from new projections to the northward.
Excepting the crossing of the Cascades the Ore
gon Pacific would have almost level roadbed
from Corvallis to the Rockies, effecting a sys-
TEN which would be very cheaply operated. 1t
promises to be a disturbing element in the
transcontinental situation.

The Swell Young Men Of New

Long ago an English primes sffived at
New York in his yacht. Through some
misfortune, sloppy weather had ruined his
evening clothes. On the evening Of his
arrival. he had accepted nn invitation to
reception. He sent his valet ashore TO buy
q pair of plebeian ready-made trousers for
his evening suit. The valet procured
them, and the crease in each trousers leg
was most marked. That night the prince
wore his creased trousers.
New York bloods eyed the creases
through their glasses, and later in the
night, at their clubs. they decided that if
the prince wore creases, IL must be the
proper thing.

Testi mony of the Governor of New
Hampshire and f. Il. Coudert.

Much as the Old and New Testaments are the
light and guide of the world in religion, the
Declaration OF independence and the Constitu-
ton OF the United States, growing out of that
religion, are the light and the guide OF the world
III civil liberty.
AS our country stands at the head Of all free
governments in the worlds history, SO our
Washington, its deliverer and founder, right
fully stands at the head of the patriots and
statesmen OF all time.
Christianity, aided by the influences which
follow in its sweep, had in the last half OF the
eighteenth century so well developed men that
our unequaiIed Washington and unparalleled
republic were produced. They were indeed O
new world created in the New World, and the
best fruitage thus lar in human history. One of
our transcendent duties, not only TO man but to
God. is so to conduct our republic that it shall
be the light and leader OF the world simply by
lis merits, ana the desire for its ike among all
civilized nations become as universal as is the
admiration of Washington among all enlight-
ened people.

The Mexican Frontier Line in Question.

BENSON, Ariz, Feb 20.-Considerabe CON-
ment has been aroused by the statement of a
prominent Mexican official of the state OF
Sonora, Mexico, en- route from Hermosillo to
the City of Mexico, that a resurvey of the in
ternational boundary line would throw sixty
miles OF American soil into Mexican jurisdic-
ton. This change would include the large
towns of Tucson, Yuma, Tombstone, Nogales,
Bisbee, Wilcox, Benson, ella Bend and many
smaller ones; also San Diego, Cal, and US
far north Mt San Juan Capistrauo. An immense
amount of valuable mining property would also
come under the new deal, also the entire line of
the Southern Pacific railroad in Arizona. While
the statement is not credited as being correct,
it is generally understood that a survey now
about to commence will show some looseness
at least in the original lines. Captain Finley,
U. S. A, is at Fort Bliss, Tex, with two COM
panes OF soldiers and corps OF $50 men pre-
pairing for the survey, which will occupy tho
better part of this year.

Lfnes-Future of Constans.
PARIS, Feb 2o-It IL announced that Ribot
will form new ministry on old lines, he being
premier, and the other ministers nearly the
same as In the previous cabinet
The prospect that Constans will leave the
Office OF minister of the interior has alarmed
nearly all classes OF the French people He has
been SO successful in suppressing Boulangists
and socialists that it is the universal desire
among representatives, that he retain his Office.
This desire led to the report that Constans
would be asked TO form cabinet.
It is held by many. however, that the
recent striking of Laur, Boulangist, by
Constans in the chamber of deputies
will preclude the president from calling on Con-
STAINS to form a cabinet but it is believed that 1t
