FROM Bangor to New Orleans and
from New York to San Francisco the
press has begun campaign against
filth, that the country may be spared a
visitation of cholera if there be virtue
in the accepted preventive measures,
the first and most important of which is
cleanliness. The severe winter just
passed left the streets and alleys of
every city in a deplorable condition and
with the spring thaws the death rate
las increased everywhere, due solely to
disease germs liberated from accumu-
lated filth. Let the crusade be kept
up until this country has had such q
housekeeping as never before.

the spot where the elevator had been.
A very creditable cyclone story indeed,
but not equal to one which has floated
up from Georgia, and runs thus: An
old coloretl woman in that state owns a

side out by a cyclone. She says the

handles are on the inside now, and pes

convinced, and the evidence conclusive.
ly shows, that the pine timber was well
worth 81 per thousand feet, and would
easily have brought that amount had it
been offered at public sale, as provided

the law, declares that it has not been

sale is illegal and void, and if permit

ing the methods Of the election of mem
bers of the state board of health. He
made numerous objections to the bill.
1t changes the terms of Office from four
to seven years and is somewhat vague
as to how long the present incumbent
shall serve. Another objection is that
no governor can appoint more than two
members and yet his administration is
responsible for the acts of the board.
The provisions divesting the secretary
of his salary was also objected to- The
matter was referred to committee on
sanitary affairs.
The senate had an exceedingly warm
time over the general appropriation
bill, and the scene shifted half dozen
times upon the various propositions
submitted. Section II furnished the
grounds for the greatest fight, and the
discussion thereon had good deal Of
Markham bill aftermath in it. This is
the section that provides for reimbprs-
ing counties for untaxed railroad lands.
It was stricken out Of the bill after an
almost. unparalleled parliamentary.
squabble. AS the bill came into the
senate it provided appropriations ag-
gregating a little over s., 800, 900.

than resolution requesting the Minne-

I've RsiifosAs AaHSsss - Ne shs Hisss
to Reach shs Misses.
There has been much speculation in re-
gard 20 THIS seasons railway building in
the ssocar. country. Several weeks ago It
waspredirted that there would be lively
race between the Canadian Pacific and the
kasio railway to see which can reach
Three Forks firss. The Canadian Pacific
has already received bids for the grading
OF the roa.lbsd from Sakusp toward the
head Of Stocan lake. but the chances are
II viii be ,:isianced by its new competitor.
The Spokane Chronicle says advices have
been recei-ed from kaslo that the work Of
clearing the right-of-way for the new rail-
road TO Three Forks has been commenced
in earnest, Twenty men are now At work
on the tryt five miles Of the line, cutting
their way:through the heavy timber that
Is found il; that section. This part Of the
line Is TO ie ready for graders by July 10,
aud the contractors who are to clear the
remainder Of the route are expected to
finish their work by the and Of that
month.
The liEs AZ now laid out will strike
kasio creek about one-half mile from the
shore OF the lake and follow along its
southern bank. At Three Forks it will
meet the Canadian Pacific. thus giving de
rect raiiwYy connection between kootenai
and Arrow lakes. Many predict that the
two lines will be placed under the same
management as soon a. completed. The
managers.of the company that is to build
the new :sampling works at Kaslo state
that they will commence work in a short
time. having delayed building until GER
tain OF the construction Of the railway to
Three Folks. They intend to put in a
large pIar;t. complete in every respect, and
hope to bs hauling ore before snow falls
again. Che building Of the sampling
works il, awaited anxiousiy by all the
poorer msne owners Of the SLOGAN. who can
work thesr property with very little ex-
penss as; soon rs this home market for
their ore il fairly established. It 10 esti-
mated that fifty mines will b worked by
''chloride.es" within Q few months after
the completion Of the sampling works.

There will be no reduction. however, OF
the rates on Puget sound fish. which are
now being carried At . special tariff OF
~ 50 per 100 pounds. plus . per cent. for
ice. Points on the Coast lines outside OF
Seattle also get q further benefit in the
abolition Of the added local rate from this
city 70 the local point. Hitherto the rate
TO Mouut Vernon has been the sum OF the
rate 70 this city Plus the local from here TO
Mount Vernon.
That this reduction has not been the re-
snIt Of sudden within or necessity forced

SeYs generally Is shown by the fact that
when General Manager Foosner, Of the

out here few months ago che company
established an Office ai Saohomish. When

Company cut the rates from this city to
enohomish to 30 cents per 100 pounds.
This was hard rate for the Great North
srn to meet. because II had to transfer by
boat At Everett to Snohomish. while the
Northern Pacific reached that place direct
over the Lake Shore road. When Mr..
Tootper learned Of the cut he was heard

we'll have TO meet IL; but when our line 10
completed We will do some rate-making
