Canadian Pacific Said to Contemplate
Construction Next Year.

Victoria dispatch to the Spokane Rerieio Is
authority for the statement that il Ia officially
announced that the Canadian Pacific will next
year build the Crows Nest pass cutoff. Ii says
that the line will run through the Crows Mes:
pass TO Nelson, connect there with the Column
bia kootenai road. turn north from Robson
through the SLOGAN district and connect with
the main line at Rcvelstoke, with a total length
OF over 500 miles The dispatch says:
For FIVE years the company has been trying to
find pass somewhere west of the Columbia
river so the road after reaching Robson from
the Crows Nest pass might proceed in nearly a
straight line to connection with tho main iiue
at some point between Revestoke and Van
couver, but tho engineers have been
unable to find the desired pass, and
the company have come reluctantly to the con-
ciusion that the only feasible plan is to go up
the Columbia aud Arrow lakes to Revestoke
There will be great advantages other than the
avoiding OF the heavy grades OF the selkirks
srislug from the new route. IL will make a
shorter through line aud will pass through a
country that promises very heavy traffic. The
old line over the Seikirks will not be abandoned,
but will be used during the summer season for
tourist travel.
Most OF tho surveys have been made, and il Is
probable that clearing at various points along
the proposed new line VIII begin this fall.

HIPS POSSIBLY. U. p. Alliance.

The Sorthwes.erH La1abermdn says: alt Is said
that President Hill, OF the Great Northern rail-
way, lie seeking a traffic alliance with the Union
Pacific, in anticipation of the completion OF the
Great Northern TO Puget sound. This, 1t is
thought, is desire to secure a strong rivalry a.
against the Northern Pacific. Lumbermen
think that should the scheme work TO Mr..
Hills satisfaction his promised Accent rate on
lumber from Puget sound 20 Mississippi valley
points and lake points will be slow in coming,
since the Union Pacific management is known
To bc intensely devoted to the policy OF main
tanning rates. The combination may, however,
work the other Way from predictions. Rivalry
between the Northern Pacific and the proposed
alliance may become SO strong that lumber and
other rates will be cut in the contest for traffic.

In 1856 II. L. Opie sold for Sal, 900 a
large tract of farm land In Jefferson
county, then Virginia, and now West
Virginia, to Henry w. Castleman, part
of the payment being in cash and the
rest in interest-bearing notes. Those
payments which fell due between 1861
and 1894 Castleman paid in Confederate
money and Virginia bank notes, both Of
which we're deprecated currency, going
for the purposes of payment from the
United States military lines IN West Vir-
ginia into the Confederate lines in Vir-
ginia. and making the payments to Mrs.
Opie. Mrs. Optics sons were in the
Confederate army, and she accepted the
money, which was divided between the
members of the family, and in 1865, at
her request, the trustees executed a deed
of release. About fifteen years afterward
suit was brought against Castleman and
the point was made that the payments in
Confederate money did not constitute a
payment in lawful money, as required by
the terms of sale. The United States
District Court of West Virginia gave
judgment against Castleman, but the
United States Supreme Court on Monday,
of last week, in an opinion by Justic Har-
Ian, reversed that judgment, holding that
the action on the part of the Opies came
too late.
