The Great Northern's Pacific Extenr

The Great Northern's Pacific Extension
Beginning Sunday, daily trains were
put on the Great Northern railroad be-
tween st. Paul and Havre, Mont, and
Spokane, on the Pacific division. The
Pacific extension is 5l2 miles long. The
elevation of Pacific Junction is 2,5f7
feet. From Pacific junction there is q
gradual ascent in the line, and at n
point lS5 miles west of Pacific junction
the summit is reached. 1t is the high
est point on the line, and the elevation
Is 5,299 feet. At Hasco pass, 209 miles
from Pacific Junction, the road passes
through tunnel at an elevation of
4, 1874 feet, the elevation of the peak at
that point being 4,469 feet. There is a
gradual descent westward from the
summit to KaIispell, which has an ele-
walton Of 2,947 feet and is 2G0 miles
from Pacific Junction. Between Jen-
nings and Bonner's Ferry the line fol-
lows the KOOtenai river. 1t strikes the
Pend dOreille near Sand Point and
follows it to Newport. From Newport
to Cordovia it parallels the Little Spo-
kane, making gradual descent to
Spokane, the elevation of which is
,S76 feet. There are 240 bridges on
the Pacific extension.

KEEPS THIEVES WELL INFORMED.
How Some Men Unihinkingly Reveal
Facts 1t Is Unsafe to Tell.

Chicago Tribune.l
The head of one of the oldest and
most important financial houses in
Chicago SAID this one day last week,
with a great deal of emphasis:
IL much wish that our younger
business men would exercise a keener
appreciation of how injudicious it is
to voluntarily appear in print by giving
information regarding such matters as
the days OH which their establishments
have the most cash on hand, the mails
in which they usually make their
heaviest shipments CT cash, and all
that sort Of thing. Only this week a
young bank Official did ell of this and
more. Not only did he name the days
that the institution with which he is
connected has the most cash on hand
and makes the heaviest transfers of
money to the post aud express Offices,
but he gave the same information re.
-garding two or three institutions of a
similar nature.
"rhere have been other cases where
the same thing has been done by
young men. 1t is seriously wrong,
wholly and entirely unbusinesslike.
To do so simply means the giving of
valuable and otherwise wholly unat-
tainable pointers to the highwsymen
from whom we are hearing with such
alarming frequency and in SO serious
q manner of late. Were an officer or
employee connected with our institu>
.ion to do anything Of the kin he or
| would Immediately sever connection
with that institution. The man guilty
Of doing such thing, willingly OF
unwittingly, instantly forfeits all RICH,
to confidence. Such q man il either
fool or a knave. and neither should
hold position OF trust. Most sim
cerely do l hope that our young men
will be more on their guard as to this
thing in the future"

twenty miles day. Such
pioneer party ought to make very
good trail here il two weeks, or a
month at least. From the big lake
there is uninterrupted river navigation
to Boring Sea in the ~ inner months,
although it is possible that one point
the Rink Rnpids-inay give trouble at
certain unfavorable stages of the
water. 1t is, therefore, mere matter
of sufficient commercial interests being
developed in the Yukon basin to iusti-
fy the making and maintaining of such
trail in the spring and summer
months. The Alaskan city to be bene-
fitted by this is pla My juneau.
But the greatest benefit that this
route will ever confer is, think, in a
railway: and not 50 very far in the flu
ture, either. To the causual observer,
limiting the considerations to the coun-
try directly drained, there is
not great deal t. tempt a
railroad into Alaska, but as two-thirds
of our western States and Territories
were developed by railways looking not
to what was in them altogether but to
some great terminus beyond. so Alaska
may hope for one on the same princi-
PIE. The great Siberian railway, ter
minating ut Vladivostok, is assured
and will be built, it is officially as
serted, in twelve years. The nearest
perpctually opel winter harbor to it in
America, attainable by railway. is in
the Juneau vicinity, and by o railway
down the Takou river. There is abso-
lutcly II, point west of this unless I;er-
ing Strait, thirty-six miles across, should
be tnnneled, a far too formidable I'M
dertaking for the advantage to be
gained. From Juneau t. Vladivostok
the "a voyage can be made by an At
lantic ocean greyhound" in week,
and ut all seasons of the year. The
construction of a railway a'ong
the Takou through the Alaska
coast range would cost less, l
believe. than the average road
through the Allegheny Mountains. The
great inland plateau gained the con-
stru ton to any point on the Canadian
Pacific would be about equivalent to
that on our great western plains, of
which this plateau after all is but a
no thcrn extension. The most likely
objective point on the Canadian Pacific

GAMERS ARE KICKING.
They Complain of the New Scheme Of
Auctioning Fruit.
They are Brought Directly Into Conn
petition With Retail Fruit
Dealers and Jobbers.

There is large-sized protest going up
among the Gamers over the new scheme
Of selling the fruit at auction on the
wharf every morning, say the San Fran
cisco Post of last evening. Nearly all of
the fruit commission men are standing in
with the Gamers, TOO. The grounds upon
which the Gamers base their kick is that
under the system now in vogue they are
compelled to stand around the wharf and
take their chances in competition with
every retail fruit vender who may choose
to go down TO the wharf and buy.
AT the sale this morning only about two
Gamers showed up, and the others de-
clare that if they cannot get fair deal
here in the CITY they will take their trade
right into the country and make their
contracts directly with the growers.
This would hurt the commission mer-
chants materially, for they have always
depended upon the Gamers to take from
them whatever fruit they could not other
wise dispose of, and they were always
given the benefit of low rate.
A well-known fruit man on Sansome
street told reporter this morning that if
this wharf auctioning was continued ii
would eventually result in driving the
commission men out of business, for if
the farmers found that the new scheme
worked well, they would eventually
say, "What is the use of our paying
a commission man per cent. when the
auctioneer can handle our goods just as
well ?''
Auctioneer Steinhagen said he was sat
isfied now that the new scheme was going
to be success. He was more confident
of it than he had been two days ago.
This morning he sold $500 baskets of
peaches at from 30 to 80 cents, one or two
choice lots at from 80 to 81 cents, and one
lot of Sawyer Seedlings at 81 524. Toma-
toes sold at from 81 % to 81 673, No. 2
Bartlett pears at from so to rs cents, plums
from % to rs cents, and prunes at from 80
cents to 81.
The Gamers kick and the disgruntle-
ment of the commission men affects not
him at all, for he is doing fine business
and is smiling and happy.

the Call, and says, under date of Tues
day, writing from Sacramento, unless it
fires up between now and Wednesday
night the convention will have expert
enced the pleasantest stretch of Capital
City climate SO far this year." How did the
reporter know? The fact is he simply
guessed at it; he drew upon his magma
ton. Unlike the Cal man, not being
brazen enough to declare it hot, he tacks
and pronounces the weather the best we
have had, but puts possible firing up"
to the fore. The truth is, that the whole
summer. excepting three hot waves. from
not one of which did San Francisco es-
cape, has been delightful and the period
during which the State Convention sat
here was the least pleasant of the year,
excepting, Of course, the hot waves of
May and June, that swept over the entire
coast. The San Francisco fogs and chilly
gales did not reach US until the Bulletin
and Gait reporters arrived. 1t is appar-
emily thing of small concern, yet this
persistent lying by the San Francisco
press about the climate of the interior, by,
the way, the guarantee of production
upon which San Francisco hinges all
her hopes, has gone on so long unre-
buked that the press of the interior owes
it to the country to call spade a spade in
this matter hereafter, since wherever
San Francisco newspaper reaches abroad
its silly criticisms Of interior weather
may be received as truth, and to just that
| extent create false and damaging opinions
| among seekers of homes. The actual
! facts the people of the interior do not fear,
but lie persistently adhered to is like
the cord of the thug, it may throttle the
