the Great Northern Express Company,
was seen by a representative of the PosT-
lNrELLIGENcER this morning before his de-
parture for the South, concerning the in
tentions Of his company In British Column
bia. He is confident that large and
profitable business can be worked up with
In very short time, and with that end in
view, the Great Northern will hold out in
ducements which will be worth taking adj
vantage of. The company has made ar
engagements to handle fresh salmon ship
ments to any point in the United States
and will carry fish at the very lowest
rates. Their arrangements for icing fish
en- route, Mr.. Footner says, are perfect.
Regarding the extension of the express
business to Vancouver, Mr.. Footner has
made proposition to the tramway COM
pany for han ding goods which, he be-
lieves, will be accepted by the directors.
He expects to have the Vancouver Office
established not later than April Is.

THROUGH ANEW PASS
Canadian Pacific to Build a
Shorter Line.
RIVALS WANT THE SAME ROUTE.

tie Quarrel About Transfers
Great Northern's Work.

The Canadian Pacific railroad has noti-
fed the minister of railways that the COM
|pany proposes to build a second line
across the Rockies, and will utilize Crows
Nest pass. Two other companies, the
British Columbia Southern and the AL
berta railway, the "Galt road" are seeking
charters to build through Crows Nest.
surveyors in the pass last season report
Inst locations for three or four lines can
kobtained.
The proposed Canadian Pacific line
branches off the present main line east of
Calgary and runs through the Kootenay
country to junction with the present
line near Sicamous. The building of this
branch will shorten the present route lis
miles, will provide easy grades and avoid
the snow avalanches now so destructive,
via the Kicking Horse and Rogers passes.
President Van Horne, when at Victoria
last year, said the new route would
shorten the time between Vancouver and
Montreal one day. and that ultimately the
company would make the service between
those two places in four days. The build
ing of this line will open up the coal fields

greatest deposit on the continent.

North Dakota to connection with its
main line at Regina. Charles II. Ostler,
the engineer in charge, has arrived at Re-
gina to begin work south to the boundary.
This line will still further shorten the
route from Vancouver to st. Paul.

IFS LAST SESSION.
The Valedictory Of the First
Charter Council.
PREPARED TO GIVE UP SEATS.
Both Houses Transact q Great Amount
OF busfness-Incoming Members
Witness the Closing Scene.

The city council which goes out of ex-
istence met last night and cleared up all
business that was not finished before.
Inc members relaxed none of their
assiduity, as the records will show. The
House took recess until 10 o'clock Mon
DAY IN order to approve the journal. The
aldermen will also meet on Monday.
After the business was over the men,
bers enjoyed little fun, and among other
amusing documents the following was
read:
The city of Seattle does ordain a. follows:
Section l.
That Bagley may rise TO kick no more,
ana Barnes may remain at his corner drug
store,
While Barton who scarcely has been seen since
the snow,
With Cowden, old crony, they all must now go;
Ana Davis, whose voice shall no more resound,
Nor Furry the faithful can't even be found.
No fire alarm from Hanford shall come.
Nor Hart, of the First, to the rescue shall run
kittinger, too, can go and play ball,
But krug takes the treasury, bakery and all.
Lansing no sewers nor claims shall Inspect,
Nor Morford rise uD to sternly object
Our sold Muldoon by the landslide was stack,
And Shipley considers himself in big luck;
And Willis, whose "duty to the city of Seattle"
While President Jones will say with a sigh,
The house stands adjourned sine die.
Many members-elect visited the cham
bers and were invited to seats beside the
retiring members.

ter n Great Success.

ter n Great Success.
The "dead horse" sale of unclaimed
packages by the Northern Pacific Express
Company yesterday drew a great crowd to
the store-room at 212 Commercial street,
where it was conducted by \. f. Bell, of
Bickerton & Bell. The spectators num-
hered 700 or 500, and filed the whole room
and overlooked to the sidewalk.
Mr.. Bell was kept hard at work from 10
O'clock in the morning till 6:l5 in the
evening, and sold everything Imaginable,
nom box of mineral specimens TO pack
age of patent medicine. No man knew
what he had bought until the sale was
over, for the purchasers were given checks
showing the number of the packages they
had bought, and the goods were not deliv-
cred till the sale was over. The sale was
the largest ever held here and was carried
on very rapidly. In all, over l,400 pack
ages were disposed of and about s, 500 was
realized.
When the purchasers opened their pack
ages they were treated to many surprises,
agreeable and otherwise. One man paid

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.
A Long Contest Over an Appropriation
Ordinance.

The session of the house of delegates was
attended bv President Jones, Delegates
Hanford, Kittinger, Cowden, Muldoon,
Morford, Barton, Barnes, Bagley, Krug,
Hart. Willis, Lansing. L. II. Calligan, one
of the delegates-elect and a member of
former city councils; Aldermen-elect
Leander Miller, Cram, Delegates Cook,
Ingram, Coryell and DIR. J. S. kloeber,
who is talked of as the probable president
of the new house, were also present.
In the course of considering appropria-
ton bills Mr. Bagley made strong objec-
ton to bills being brought in for overtime
for the city clerk and deputy and for the
preparation of registration rolls without
having been audited so as TO give the de-
.qils The question was put as to sus-
pension of the rules and carried by TO 3,
the bill. however, only received eight votes
in favor and was declared lost. 1t carried
with it $500 from the general fund, SIPS
from the salary fund, $3.50 from the public
health fund.
Later in the session Mr.. kittinger made
an appeal to the house TO pass that part Of
the ordinance providing for Frank Birds
salary for month, which was known to
be due to him and which he should have
had long before.
Mr.. Muldoon also called attention to the
Injustice done Miss Kelley by the failure
10 pass her account. which had been APP
proved months before.
CITY Clerk Miller said so far as his ac-
count for overtime was concerned he had
worked till midnight for several weeks,
and often on Sunday. Deputy Drown also
reminded the house that the additional
work exacted of him lately, considering
that he was supposed to work eight hours
a dav. was out of all reason.
MI Hanford and Mr.. Barnes were will
ing to allow extra pay for the registration
books. but not for general night work at
tending the council.
Mr. Jones raised the point that the bill
could not be reintroduced. He thought
there was some justice in part of the
claims, but as they had no time now to
investigate the matter, It had better go
over.
Mr.. Muldoon suggested that as they all
wanted 10 do what was just, why not ap-
point a committee now and fix up their
own business? The new council could
know nothing of it. and it was not fair to

NO TRANSFER IN SEATTLE,
Northern Pacific Makes Trouble for
Great Northern and Canadian.

Northern Pacific Makes Trouble for
Great Northern and Canadian.
The Canadian Pacific and Great North
ern railroads have had to change their ar
engagements IN regard to the transfer of
through passengers for their lines to and
from points south of here on the Northern
Pacific. 1t is claimed that an agreement
was made with the Northern Pacific by
which passengers to and from points south
OF this city would be transferred to or
from the Northern Pacific trains, but that
at the last moment this agreement was re-
pudiated, and the Northern Pacific officials
announced that they would only make
the transfer at Tacoma. The Great North
ern and Canadian Pacific overcame the
difficulty by arranging for the steamer
Bailey Gatzert to take the passengers and
baggage between here and Tacoma,
Failing this, the passengers would have
had to lie over at Tacoma instead of
Seattle, and. thus the Tacoma people
WOULD have reaped the benefit.

HURRYING INTO SPOKANE.
Great Northern Closing the Gap in
Track-Delay by Slides,

At the present moment the policy of the
Great Northern management is to con-
centrate every energy on completing the
line into Spokane and from Spokane to
the Columbia river. The trackiayers NOV
ing east from Sand Point to meet the
tracklayers moving west from KaIispeli
ipassed Bonner's Ferry on Thursday. The
Fgap, which is more than ninety miles
long, lies along the Kootenay river, and is
being closed at the rate of three miles a
dsy, but that rate of speed cannot be
maintained, because much rockwork is en-
countered. so that it will be the middle of
May before trains from st. Paul enter Bon
ners Ferry.
The track is now laid as far west of Sand
Point as Albany Falls on the Pend
dOreille river, but there have been some
landslides owing to the melting SHOWS
along the river bank and these have caused
some delay in getting material from Sand
Point down to the bridge at Albany Falls.
The damage has been repaired, however.
and on Friday trainload of material was
. sent from Sand Point to the bridge. No
delay in construction because of high water
Is feared for the river has risen only a
little and there is not much snow around
its source, Lake Pend d'Oreille. AS soon
as the Albany Falls bridge is completed
tracklaying will begin between that point
and Spokane. The work can be done in
less than month. 1t is the present ex-
pectation of the company that trains will
be running into Spokane from st. Paul by
June 1.
Concerning construction at Spokane the
Rsrietg says:
The grade for the track has been constructed
up to the track of the Union Pacific, at a point
Just west OF the Union Pacific bridge over the
spokane river Here the Great Northern trains
will no doubt, for the time being, take the
Union Pacific tracks and thus come into the
Union depot. Negotiations are in progress with
the Northern Pacific for the use of the Seattle,
lake Shore & Eastern track as far west as the
point where the line of the Great Northern
crosses that road. This is a short distance this
side of Medical lake. This arrangement is de-
sired by the Great Northern in order that trains
may be the quicker run through to the Column
bia river and In order that time may be given to
do the heavy work through the city thoroughly
and without haste The plan is all right for
Spokane, for the quicker we get the road the
better. Nothing is yet determined as to the
Great Northern running trains through to Port
land over the tracks of the Union Pacific, but
news that such an agreement has been reached
is expected every day.
Contractor Stems of the Great Northern, was
in the city yesterday and said the work of the
road was progressing in a manner even beyond
expectation, owing to the perfect weather.
