The Monte Cristo Railroad.

The snohomish Eye says that all the right-ot-
way for the Monte Cristo railroad has been Sc
cured except from three settlers northeast OF and
near Hartford, aud negotiations with them are
now in progress. IL is expected that construc-
ton work viii be commenced at or near Hart
ford within thirty days Although the line
crosses the divide between the stillacuamish
and sauk rivers in the heart OF the mountains
there Is a down grade from Monte Cristo to the
summit, distance of abou; four miles. No
heavy grades are met with, hut in the canyon
above Granite Falls there VIII be considerable
rock work and tunucling. The distance from
Monte Crjsto to the junction with the Lake
shore at Hartford is forty three and three tenths
miles.
Nj T. Barlow, chief engineer OF the proposed
railroad 10 the Monte Cristo mining district.
has submitted his report on the preliminary
survey 10 the projectors OF the road in the East,

The snohoTnlsh Eye says that the owners OF
the Snohomish, skykOTnish & spokane railroad,
having failed to purchase the Harvey ranch for
speculative purposes, with the expectation that
the Great Northern was going down the south
bank o. the river, have offered the Great North
ern most favorable terms for the purchase Of
their shor; piece of road and the abandonment
OF the south bank route.
The classic Missouri river city, Fort Benton,
IS to be left ont in the cold. II is announced
that the Great Northern railroad has decided to
change the main line to avoid the heavy
grade Of Teton hill. Work Will begin soon TIE
road, instead of leaving Teton rs at present, will
continue further up, joining the present line
about three miles east Of old Bull Head stage
station. This gives a I per cent grade, but
leaves Fort Benton FIVE miles from the railroad
station.

DRAINAGE OF sKAGIr FLATS.
Two Factions of Farmers and Great
Northern Road in Controversy.


A lively controversy has arisen among the
farmers On the fats between the skagit river
and the snobomish county line in regard 70 the
digging Of big drainage ditch, in which the
Great Northern road is Involuntary involved.
When the Great Northern was built the farm
ers along ABOUT six miles Of the route, from
poin. about midway between Fir and Mount
Vernon to about three miles south of FiT. gave
the right-oi-way on condition that the railroad
company dig ditch four and one-haf feet deep,
the width not being stipulated, to drain the
water from the country into the sound near the
snohomish line. In pursuance OF its bargain
the Great Northern seat q civil engineer 10 sur
vey the line of the ditch, but he reported that
the volume Of water would be so great and the
pitch OF the land was small that ditch
would not carry the water of, and that. even if
It were a success, the cost would be very great
The railroad company mas since done nothing in
the matter, and farmers have sought to bring it
10 time by bringing suit for 5000 damages for
non-iulhiment OF the agreement They want q
ditch twenty feet wide and of the stipulated
depth.
The situation IL confused by protest from
the farmers along the southern part OF the line
OF the proposed ditch, who claim that they have
sufficient drainage for their lands already, and
that If the ditch were dug 1t would overflow
and drown their lands.
The farmers who want the ditch have now
petltioned the skagit county commissioners to
dig it under the law OF 1890, which authorizes
the commissioners OF any county 10 do such
work on petition Of the proper proportion of the
property owners 20 be benefited. payment to be
made either Immediately by assessment on the
property owners or by the issue of bonds. They
want to have 1t dug along the right-Of-way of
the railroad. The commissioners have asked
the railroad company TO agree to this arrange
ment, but have not yet received an answer.
The farmers near the Snohomsh line have, how
ever. entered protest, and may take legal steps
to prevent the Improvement
ii the opposing farmers can be brought to
terms. 1t il probable that the matter will be
amicably settled between the farmers desiring
the ditch and the railroad company.

MISSING CONTRACTOR FOUND.
Burke Turns Up at Sultan City-Inter-
esfad in

p D. Burke, the Great Northern raiInoad con-
tractor who was missing, and who it was feared
had met with foul play, proves to have beea at
Sultan City and is probably there still
Mr. Burke left the city on January - with the
owner OF a granite quarry, and told his brother
in-law, c. 7. Nolan, that he would be away
about week. When he did not return for two
weeks Dir. Nolan became anxious and went to
Snohomish in search OF him. Charles W. FRS
bee, paymaster for Shepard, Henry & Co, and
the walking boss forthat firm both said they
had no; seen him there Mr.. Nolan then be-
came alarmed, as he thought Mr.. Burke must
have met with some mishap between this city
and snohomish, and employed a detective to
find out the missing mans whereabouts The
detective could learn nothing of him, however
His Tears were removed last evening when he
met c. Anderson, railroad labOrer 10 whom
Nj. Burke had promised employment. Ander-
son said he saw Burke at Sultan City on Febru-
airy {, and talked with him about getting work.
He thinks that Burke is staying there waiting
until favorable weather will permit him to be-
gin work on the quarry, which is apparently in
that vicinity.
The rock work on the Great Northern shore
line has been lett in charge OF W. II. Seib, NJ
BurAc's partner.
