MAY CHANGE THE ROUTE.

Lower Pass Than the stevens to Be Ex-
plored by Great Northern.
SPOKANE, March 24-[SpecisL There is
strong probability that thdH line across
the Cascades selected by th1 Great North
ern railroad may yet be abandoned. The
Stevens pass, which was chosen, was
thought to be the lowest pass through this
bothersome range, but lately it is rumored
that Engineer Becker has become con-
WINGED that lower pass was to be found
further north. What has brought about
this change of sentiment on his part is
very easily told. BILLY" S.;llwell, an old
prospector in the Okanogan country,
claims that he knows of pass at least
four hundred feet lower. Major Gwydir
heard him speak of it and informed Mr..
Becker, who promptly interviewed Mr..
Stillwell. He was offered $40 day t"
guide an engineering party to
tie pass. But Mr.. Stillwell
is high priced guide, and demanded a
further bonus of $3.50 in case the Great
Northern should utilize the pass in ques-
ton. Mr.. Becker, it is understood, re-
fused TO consider the proposition, but
pumped him for all he was worth. He got
good deal of fragmentary information,
which gave him clue as to where the
pass is located, and it is believed that a
party of nine, which left Coulee City few
days ago with pack horses, has started out
to find it.
The engineering work on the line
through this city is being pushed as fast as
possible. In a few days it will be ready
for the contractors to go to work on. So
far no contracts have been let between
Dennis & Bradly's addition and the west
ern city limits. Contractor kirkendall is
making the dirt fly on his contract along
the Columbia river. Most of the contrac-
tors between this city and Harrington
have got their work we'll under way.

Marquis venosta Said to Pe the Best Choice
That Could Have Been Made
ROME, Sept. 6.-The selection of Marquis
Emilio Visconti Venosta as the Italian
member Of he Behring sea arbitration COM
mission is believed to give satisfaction both
to the British and United States legations.
He is said to be gentleman of very large
Information, good lawyer, and to be
absolutely without political aspirations.
The Italian government has been very
much embarrassed in the choice of arbitra-
tors. According to the last communica-
tions between the two governments the
arbitration will be held in Paris. Dis
cussions may be made in French, but
as all the documents relative TO the sub
ject will be written in English, 1t was i'm
peratIve that all mem bers be perfectly &C.
quainted with English. 1t appears il has
been very difficult to find among the great
lawyers of Italy one who understands Eng
lish and who could accept the position. II is
generally believed that Marquis Venosta
who has had great experience in public
matters and who understands English
thoroughly, is the very best that could
have been made for the rendering of an
impartial judgment in the important ques-
tions involved.
