SINKING OF THE MYSTIC.
How She Was Cut Down by tho state
Washington.

How She Was Cut Down by the State OF
Washington.
The sinking of the tug Mystic by the
State of Washington Friday evening was
about the only topic of conversation along
the docks yesterday. At first there was
some disagreement as to the exact locality
where the accident occurred. but this was
definitely decided by the keeper of the
boat house near Schwabacher's wharf
He heard the sound of the collision and
Immediately took q boat and pulled out in
the direction of the two boats, but the fog
was so thick he could see nothing. This
fixes the location at the exact spot where
Capt. Morrison thought he was at the
time. about 400 yards off Schwabacher's
wharf. At that point there is about thirty
fathoms Of water.
Although he had lost his boat, of which
he thought = great deal, Cart. Morrison
was in good spirits yesterday. and said he
considered the accident a very lucky one,
inasmuch as the Mystic went down so
quickly and all six of the men on board of
her were saved. He says that both
boats were blowing the fog whistle and
that the Mystic was running very slowly.
just fast enough to steer. but intimated
that the State of Washington was running
much faster than she ought under the cir
cumstances. He and the mate were in
the pilot house and he realized that the
boat was very near 80 he told the mate to
throw her round But as the mate had a
sore hand he caught the wheel himself and

TO BUILD A CUTOFF.
Company Formed for the Cherry
Valley Line.
FOR THE GREAT NORTHERN ROAD
Seattle = Northeastern Tncorporsted-
Jim HiIl's Line Will Reach Tide
water Here Ftrst.

eteps have already been taken looking
toward the building Of . cutoff by the
Great Northern road into this city by way
of Cherry Valley and Lake Washington, to
connect with the Seattle Il Montana tracks
at Ballard. One OF the most important OF
these steps was the filing yesterday in the
Office OF the county auditor of articles OF
incorporation Of the Seattle Il North
eastern railway by Thomas Burke and
John Leary. The capital stock of the COM
pany 10 placed at s., 600 600 and the course
Of the railway is from Seattle or a point
in King county northeasterly to a june
ton with the Great Northern. The char
ter contains the ordinary provisions for
owning and controlling other companies,
real and personal property, ETC., as we'll as
special clauses for owning and operating
telegraph lines, docks and warehouses and
steamship lines from Seattle to Pacific
ports.
The advantages of building this line are
obvious. No transcontinental line could
afford to have its business blockaded for
weeks at time as is always liable to
happen via the shore line route between
this city and Everett. But the chief res
SON for building this cutoff is that the
great fresh water hsrbor of Lake WASH
ington will be reached quicker by this
route than by going to Everett. and from
fifteen to twenty-five miles saved in reach
ing this city and ali southern points.
you can depend upon it the Great
Northern will not operate the line along
the Sound as part Of its transcontinental
line longer than this summer" said . well
informed railroad man yesterday. Either
a new line will be located few miles back
from the Sound or else the cutoff by way
of Cherry valley will be built. l think
this very question is now being con-
sidcred by Mr.. Hill. and that that Is the
reason why work on the Everett tunnel
has not yet been commenced. l think
there is a scheme now on foot to cross the
Snohomish river near Lowell and join the
Seattle T. Montana near Marysviile and
not cross over to the bay side of Everett at
all. Everett would be near enough to the
Great Northern so that road can control
the rail traffic of that city without going
to the great expense of building the tun-
mel. The correct solution OF the problem,
however, is the cutoff, as both branches
and the main line could then be most con-
veniently operated from the new proposed
junction point of the north and south
arms"
Freight trains on tho Seattle & Montana
continue to make daily trips past the land
slides, but the track becomes covered
again as soon as the train has passed. and
the work Of shoveling away the dirt must
be done all over again. The job Of
Sisyphus was soft snap compared with
that of the men on these landslldes, be-
cause he did not have to roll his stone in
mud above his knees. Passengers are still
transferred by boat to Everett. and north
of that place trains are running regularly.
