THE q. 1. CO.'S SINKING FUND.
Boston Gossip on It's Abolition-Ted-
castles Mission Abroad.

A Boston dispatch of January saws:
The announcement that the board of
directors of the Oregon Improvement
Company is considering the cancellation
of the sinking fund provision of the
company's first mortgage bond is caus-
ing a deal of discussion IN financial
circles. The consolidated "a are very well
distributed through the Street, and the
first mortgage bonds and stock are largely
owned abroad. where the treasurer. Mr..
Charles b. Tedcastle, is now at work upon
business connected with the company. it
is said. Some curiosity is expressed as to
how the first mortgage holders will receive
the plan TO do away with the sinking fund
which, it appears. has already been
adopted by the executive committee. COM
posed OF Messrs. Starbuk. Tedcastle and
Edgerly.
1t is a question of whether the holders
will prefer 10 have the sinking fund (Which
is in sense a protection( continued, or
To have the life of their bond certainly
prolonged until its maturity in 1910 bv the
cancellation of this feature OF the mort
gage. Although the sinking fund is but
$50, 900 per anuum, ii should be recalled
that its cancellation vii! release more
than that amount of earnings for consol
interest since the interest is regularly paid
upon bonds bought for the sinking fund
The amount of such interest was last wear
about S45. 5000. This year it vii! be greater.
The real object of the plan Is believed by
some TO be the beneiiting of the position
of the common stock.

SPOKANE & NORTHERN LINES.

Line to Kootenay and Branches.

Finished to Boundary by April-The
Line to Kootenay and Branches.
The Spokane Spokesman says: Reports
received yesterday from the construction
party that is extending the Spokane Falls
d Northern railway to the boundary line
state that the work is progressing satisfac-
torIly. 1t is believed that the grading Of
this ten-mile extension viii be completed
early III March, giving the tracklayers am
pie time TO complete the road ready for
service by April l.
the work on the Nelson & Fort Shep-
herd will begin about the time the Spo-
kane Fails d Northern's extension is COM
pieted, connecting with it at the boundary
line. This road is sixty miles in length,
and will be completed about September l.
Although built by different company. it
is understood that this railroad is practi-
ca!ly portion of the Spokane Falls g.
Northern railway and will be operated I'M
der the same management.
1--we will run daily trains to Northport
after April l.. said an official of the latter
road yesterday, and it is probable boats
will run to Nelson daily instead of semi
weekly after that date, as they cannot be-
gin 10 handle the business they will have
next summer under the present system
As Tor our road, We have enough work to
keep us busy for month now, and will
have all we can attend to next summer.
ut has not been fully decided what
branch lines may be built next summer,
but 1t is agreed that snort line shall be
run from Northport to the Trail creek
mines as soon as their development shows
that they will justify it. This is only
sixteen mile branch, and they are certain
TO become great mines. The branch from
Northport to the Metaline district will also
be needed soon. | don't believe many
people realize the great wealth of these
two districts so well as do the officers of
this road.
THE line from Marcus to Boundary
creek will be more serious undertaking,
and as we already have one big extension
to attend to 1t is not likely this will be
built until 1894. | think there is no doubt
that it will be commenced next year.

erts yesterday. and as a result it is the

the river front, and six months ago there
was just one cabin on that street. Ten or
twelve buildings have gone up in the last
fortnight and there are many more to be
built. A hotel that was completed three
weeks ago, with accommodations for fifty
people, has been forced to care for nearly
hundred ever since il was finished"

GREAT GALE AT sNOOUALMIE.
1t Kills a Love-Stricken Dog and Al
most Wrecks Depot.

4 high wind has been blowing in the
SnoauaImie valley for the last thirty-six
hours, and on Saturday night it blew
down large tir tree on Con Furrie's barn,
killing his favorite dogs, You Know and
Buckeye. A horse was also in the barn,
but became frightened and escaped.
You Know was very peculiar dog. All
last summer she chummed with pet deer
belonging to the Mount ST hotel. The two
were together nearly ali the time, and
would sometimes go two or three miles
from town. When anything would at
tempt 10 modest the deer, the dog would
be on hand ready 10 take bite off the
offender. Last November the deer was
brought to Leschi park for the winter, and
the dog came near dying of broken
heart and for long time would eat moth
ing. At last she began TO eat and regainAd
her health, but never was the same dog
again.
The wind nearly carried the depot at
North Bend off its foundation. and several
tir trees fell across the Lake Shore rail-
road track between Snoquaimie and North
Rpnd
