ABOUT TWO CITIES

Governor McGIaw is expected to ar
rive this morning from Seattle TO CON
suit with the normal school site com
missioners, Messrs. Atkinson and
| Peirce, and in fact all others who have
| normal school sites at their disposal. The
commission will probably effect AN
I organization, in compliance with the
! law, but II Is not at all probable that Il
site will be selected at present.
at does not seem TO be generally
known" said a man at the SehOme
dock yesterday, "that the Canadian
Pacific Navigation Company, which is
/ practically controlled by the Canadian
Pacific railr jad, is having an iron
steamer built on the Clyde, Scotland,
for their Puget sound business. This
steamer will be capable Of running
twenty-five miles per hour, and wi
make "a round trip daily between Bel
| lingham bay and Tacoma. When
| President Van Horne was out here he
made the statement that IA steamer not
too large, and built especially for speed,
was needed on Puget sound, and tins is
what the Canadian Pacific is having
built.
There is a probability that there will
be a change in the Great Northern
train schedule so far az it applies to the
coast lines. The present arrangement
is not giving satisfaction to either the
railroad or It's patrons, it is said. The
! following time card is not official, but
! it il believed that IL will be adopted in
| the near future: A train will leave Sc.
attic abont a. M, arriving at Fair
| haven about II, aud New Westminster
at y. m. This train will return the
following day, leaving Westminster at
| II O'Clock, and running through TO
| Seattle. Another train will leave Sc
attic about o'clock, coming through
| to Fairhaven and WhatcOm, arriving
! here about O'Clock, as at present, and
returning, it will leave for the South at
| q O'clock, as under the present schedule.
| 1t will be seen, that this arrangement
provides for all additional passenger
train daily.
The yachts Wanda, Myth, Hornet
and Mabel will leave for Port Towns
end, where they will participate in the
Fourth Of July regatta, on Sunday
morning. Capt. 5. e.. Mckay will sail
the Hornet, while Commodore Lean
ing will handle his own flyer, the Myth.
The good people of Delta are making
great preparations for an elaborate cele-
bration at that place on the Fourth.
/ The eagle will scream at the bidding Of
Judge J. II. Critics, while, as a new de-
parture In Fourth Of July oratory aud
Z patriotism, "a New Westminster lawyer
will strike hands with his American
brother, and if Judge Critics doesn't
twist the lions tail or the Englishman
| pluck some Of the eagles tail feathers,
both orators will recount the deeds of
derringdo performed by their ancestors,
and descant upon the efulgent beau
ties Of liberty, equality and fraternity,
from the same grand stand.
Jim Lashua, who takes care Of the
logs at the Great Northern log bunkers
has dog that can give the average
fisherman cards and spades and then
beat him when IL comes to catching
fish. The dog has been around the
water so long that he can dig CLAIMS
like a Siwasli, and has learned the
habits and haunts Of fish. There are
several small streams which trickle into
the bay near the railroad track, and
when the dog becomes hungry he goes
10 one Of these brooklets, watches for a
trout or other fish and chases II up the
stream until he gets II in shallow water
and then with deft stroke Of his paw
throws II on TO dry land. Then he eats
