ABOUT TWO CITIES

The outlook for building the Ruby
Creek trail has improved since Satur-
day. The news that Okanogan county
had refused to make the 81 900 appro-
priation looked as if it might defeat the
proposition, but IA letter received yes
terday by State Road Commissioner
Cryderman from +. II. Oliver, OF
Stevens county, member of the COM
mission, would seem TO indicate that
the people of OkanOgan county will
themselves raise the necessary money.
Following is the letter addressed TO
Messrs. Cryderman and Hannegan
81 am in receipt Of a letter from the
auditor Of Okanogan county informing
me that the county commissioners OF that
county failed TO appropriate the $1,000 re-
quired by the bill. They gave the reason
| that they have no money In the treasury
and their warrants are only worth 20
cents on the dollar. But this will not
stop the work, as have been assured by
the residents that they Will put up the
| al 900 aud turn IL over TO the county COM
missiOners, 50 that they can turn II over
to the state treasurer. II your commls-
Sioners will appropriate money IN the
same way tnat Stevens county dld, by
making the appropriation subject 10 the
other counties making the appropriation,
| will go 70 OkanOgan county ana see ihat
the money from that county is sent To the
state treasurer. will guarantee that the
mouey will be- put up. Let me hear from
yoI as soon as possible, so ] Will know
how to act. II the commissioners Of your
county Will agree TO put up the money,
will leave for OkanOgan county at once so
there will be no delay in the matter"
Mr.. Cryderman has written Mr..
Oliver TO the effect that our board Of
county commissioners are ready to
make the appropriation, as required by
law, and as soon as the OkanOgan APP
preparation is made work will begin.
1t Is Mr.. Croderman's opinion that a
trail should be opened up first ana sur
veys made afterwards, and this opinion
is cOncurred in by many other practical
gentlemen, among whom Is j. }. Dom
oyan, civil engineer, OF this city.

quires a controlling interest in the Bel

The Canadian Pacific, il is under
stood, has secured the Union Pacific
steamer Victorian to ply on the Sound

rival Of the overland train.
The ship Lita has already taken on
100000 feet Of her cargo. When her
cargo is completed she will sail for CAL
lao, Peru. The cargo is consigned 10
the American firm Of Grace d Co, who
have establishments in the United
Peru they have contracts with the gov-
ernment. Superintendent Atkinson
received yesterday letter from the
New York house stating that thew
were negotiating for another vessel to
load lumber here, and this ship will in
all probability follow the Lita.
There is no doubt that the work of
developing the coal mine will be COM
menced about June | by the Belline-
ham Bay improvement company.
This, with the developments which
may be expected to arise from the
requirement of the B. B. d B. G.. II. by
the Canadian Pacific, and the starting

that pretty lively times are in sight on
