ABOUT TWO CITIES

/
| yesterday that the Canadian Pacific
had acquired, by purchase, the Seattle,
Lake Shore * Eastern railroad, and
that the Canadian Pacific and North.
ern Pacific had joined hands to down
their great competitor, the Great
Northern. The report was discussed
everywhere, and many and varied
were the opinions expressed. No one
could tell how, when or where the re-
| port originated, but il soon spread and
was heard everywhere. There is
| probably no truth in the rumor. the
reasons against such "A sale and combi-
bination as the report suggests being
many, and need not he discussed lust
now.
William Brown, general freight and
passenger agent Of the Canadian Pa
cific at Vancouver. passed through
New Whalcom yesterday. When
asked as to the truth of the reported
sale said there was nothing in it. 1t is
not at all likely that the Canadian Pa
cilic wishes to buy, and it is less prob
able that the Northern Pacific wishes
to sell.
Sixty-five school teachers, all good
looking, according to j. NJ. Lowrie, of
the Sehome dock, who, by the way, is
an encyclopedia Of information in re-
gard to the movements of travellers and
matters pertaining to transportation,
VIII arrive from Seattle this morning
and take the Canadian Pacific for Chi
cago. They will be joined here by
Prof. Pattison, Of the high school, who
will act a. a sort Of chaperone for the
female portion of the party.
Mr.. Hart, the florist on Twelfth
street, has missed many fine roses and
other flowers from his conservatory re-
Gently. The other day he found a clew
to the flower thieves in the shape of a
fine pocket comb Mr.. Hart says if the
owner Of the comb will amble his way
and pay for the roses that he stole he
may have the comb, as he has one at
home.
Hereafter the train from the south,
and the Westminster train will lie over
at Fairhaven instead of at the "Tyee
City" The new arrangement went
into effect last night. 1t is understood
that the present time table will be
changed in some respects, and COM
mencing on Sunday next the train
from the south will run through to
Brownsville.
The Whatcom Fourth Of July general
celebration committee met at the city
hall last night, a gOodly number of the
various subcommittee being present.
About $3.50 was reported already col
lected. Vernon's pot-latch promises TO
be grand success, as the siwashes are
very much interested in il and it will
without doubt prove an interesting fea-
ture Of the celebration. The grounds
have been selected at the corner Of
Chestnut street and Railroad avonue.
and it will he here that Senator Clay
pool, Of Tacoma, will deliver his ora
ton, and the modern Ettrick Shep-
herd, Frank G. Teck, will read his
poem. The sports program will be ex-
tensive and varied, and an entirely sue
cessful celebration may be anticipated.

The Everett base ball team came
down on Sunday morning TO play a
game with the home team. They went
home in the evening defeated by a
score of is to 9. The Everetts can't
play ball. They have a good pitcher
and first baseman, while the second
baseman did fairly well, but the re-
mainder Of the aggregation well, to
be charitable to visitors, they need
much practice. The Bellingham boys
are pretty strong now, and can put up
a good game, but on Sunday they
didn't have to, and played very leis-
urely. Wilson and Simmons took
things easily, Kid Leedy seemed TO en-
Joy himself hugely, and made no mis-
takes, while Captain Jack actually
made a run and was tickled to death
over 1t. The date Of the next engage
ment Of Captain Leedy's men is not
yet definitely known, but they will
probably play in Seattle July 4
