A telegram from Col. p. S. Gilmore
announces that he will arrive here
next Wednesday afternoon with his
band of 100 pieces in time to open the
Exposition that evening. This is the
ninth annual exposition, and its eight
successful seasons easily break all rec
ords, and disprove the oft-repeated as
sertion that it is impossible to main
tain interest in local enterprise of
this kind. Last years attendance was
the largest recorded, and the indica-
tions point to still greater success this
year.
A band composed of 100 skilled mu-
sicians, each soloist of established
reputation, is something the world has
seldom seen or heard, and the advent
of Gilmore's band in the West marks
distinct epoch in musical annals The
great bandmaster completes an engage
ment in New York Tuesday morning,
and special train with banners and
streamers will bring him and his 100
players to the metropolis of the West
and Southwest. The Gilmore concerts
will be given daily until Oct. %, and
the modest admission fee of % cents in
cludes these concerts, as well as the
grand displays of manufactured and
ornamental goods, the art gallery with
its thousands of valuable and choice
paintings, the electrical exhibition,
and. indeed, every feature of the mann
moth entertainment. A number of
other attractions are announced and
the program is a very brilliant one.

the value OF good roadways without

Cakes on Railroad Extension.

San Francisco, Feb. 27-President T. F.
Cakes, of the Northern Pacific. arrived here
yesterday in special car. He and his family
have been spending q month at Coronado
Beach. Respecting the construction prospect,
he said:
Our company built very little new road last
year, and will build still less this year. The
Northern Pacific has no intention OF building
a branch railroad southwark through Eastern
Oregon to San Francisco. l think am safe in
saying such a line will never be built by
US. 1t is out of our territory, and it
would be too long haul to compete on
equal rates with direct lines from San Fran
cisco to the East At present there are practi-
caly only two Eastern lines having terminals
in the Northwest-the Northern Pacific and the
Union Pacific. The Southern Pacific cannot
be regarded as a transeontipentai line in Il at
territory, though having terminus at Port
land, for the route to the East via Sacramento
is too long and circuitous for this company
to compete for eastbound traffic from the
Northwest. The Canadian Pacific has an
entrance into Seattle but not over its ow track,
while the Great Northern, known as the Hill
system, will not reach Spokane until about
April !. There are still 400 miles of road to be
built before Hill can reach Puget sound. He
can then come down via Seattle and Tacoma to
Portland, as the Great Northern owns an inter.

TOOK THE WRONG CHINAMAN.
Boys Deportation Case Appealed While
He's OF to China.

The appeal case of Tong Choug in the United
States district court yesterday brought out a
somewhat startling state OF affairs When the
Chinaman who was supposed TO have brought
the appeal came up, IL was discovered that he
was not the one wanted, but in some unac-
oountable way had stepped into the shoes OF
the appellant, who is now on his way TO China
". I. Tyler. the attorney who had the case IN
hand, says that the United States marshal Is to
blame. but the marshal says that Il is Mr..
Tyler's fault Tong Chong was Chinese boy
about Il years of age and he was born in San
Francisco. According to the story he told the
warden of the penitentiary. he went over to
Victoria and came back IN order to be deported,
a. he wanted to visit China His case was APP
pesled, and, pending hearing, no was sent TO
the peniteutiary. From there he Was deportci
about two weeks ago along with dozen others.
Marshal Brown says that the name OF the
young Chinamau was lee Quong. and the at
toTney made mistake as to his name and sp-
pesled the case for another Chinsman in the
varky
