The Spokane s. Northern Extension.

CoLvILLE, Jan. 28.-[Special. l-E. J.
Roberts, chief engineer of the Spokane &
Northern railway, accompanied by As
sistant Engineer ]. r. Mccoy, went to the
front Thursday for the purpose of arrang-
ing for the location of the road for a dis
lance of 10 miles to Kalso, b. G. The
contracts for the construction of the road
bed will be let as soon as the location of
the line can be made. The first work of
importance to be done will be the con-
struction of the large bridge at Waneta
Landing over the Pend d'Oreilie river, lust
beyond the international boundary line
KETTLE FALLS, Jan. 2s.-[Special Mr..
Mccoy went down on the Spokane &
Northern Tuesday from Northport. He
reports that the work of building the ex-
tension is going on rapidly. The line is
surveyed almost to Nelson. The survey
follows Beaver creek up to the Salmon
and then follows up the north fork of the
Salmon. The country is reported to be
more open and less difficult to survey than
was anticipated. The road for some dis
lance follows the Old trail chat led to the
Silver King mine.

The Nex York Journal of F;nonc. saws:

The New York Journal Of Finance says:
A recently published dispatch from 81.
Paul says it Is fight to tie death between
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern,
the former with an average Indebtedness
of SCI, 900 per mile as against $1,000 per
mile for the Crest Northern. The sender
of the dispatch got his figures badly out of
the way. Excluding Wisconsin Central,
the Northern Pacific has, including float
ing debt. Sl62. 0O0, 900 of Indebtedness on
4.450 miles Of raad, or an average of $50. 600
per mile, while the Great Northern has

COO per mile.
But the Northern Pacific completed its
line to Puget sound in 1888. and has since
then expended some $50. 0o0, go for feeders,
terminal facilities, equipment, better
ments, etc. The Grea. Northern, judging
from the experience of ali great railroad
corporations. can hardly escape doing the
same thing to greater or less extent.
Moreover, the Northern Pacific, aside
from its five years start Of the Great
Northern, has the advantage of its i'm
mense land grant, IS. 0O0, 900 acres OF which
are still unsold. and in its last annual re-
port says the Puget sound extension of
the Northern runs for 400 miles within the
limits of the Northern Pacific land grant
and will open to the market more than
1850. 600 acres.
The indebtedness per mile is, however,
an unreliable guide TO the value of rail-
road property. railroad with an indebt-
edness OF $50 900 per mile may be inferior
in earning capacity per mile TO another
with an Indebtedness of SIS. 900 per mile.
There are plenty Of instances of this. One
may be paying per cent. on its debt. the
other 6 per cent One may be lightly
capitalized as TO stock. the other heavily
capitalized in that respect One may be
lightly burdened with rentals OF leased
roads, the other heavily burdened. One
may he comparatively free from compe-
tition, the other subject TO it at many
points.
Since the com pletion of its line to Puget
sound in 1855 the Northern Pacific has
added about 100 miles of branch lines,
which naturally increase annually in value
as feeders to the main line. It's gross earn
ings have increased from SIS, 500. 900 in the
fiscal year isS8 to 81, 20. 900 IN the fiscal
year is32. The Great Northern being only
just completed to Puget sound, its progress
in increasing its gross earnings from the
date OF that event is purely matter of
conjecture, but it does not seem that
fight to the death with the Northern Pa
ciiic should necessarily follow

Crops.

The past week has been unusually
dry and the weather blistering hot
and the late sown grain is beginning
to droop. The sloughs being yet
partly full indicate that the drouth is
but surface one; but where grain
was sown in low, wet spots, the
ground is baked so hard that the
growth is choked and no advance can
be expected until after g rainfall.
Early sown grain looks best, and
drilled grain is invariably looking
stronger and Of a better color tAan
the broadcast seeding.
Some localities have had light
showers, sufficient to keep the blade
from willing; still these pieces are in
the minority and the general indica-
tons are not assuring.
With timely showers the outlook
will perceptibly brighten; and the
favorable sign is that hot weather in
June is not nearly so destructive to
wheat and oats as it would be in July.
The present prospect is not unlike
that in 1889 at this time, when a good
crop of plump grain was secured.
Flax in many places is coming up
slow, and in some not at all, and no
growth will occur until after rain.
Corn, potatoes and all garden veg
etables are doing fairly, although of
course everything green would vastly
improve with rain.

RIOTERS SHOT Down.

Bloody Conflict In Berne Eetween
Swiss Workrnen and the Police.
BERNE, June 20-About 90 Swiss
workingmen attacked gang Of Ital-
ians who had been imported to work in
the streets. The police arrested Is Of
the attacking party and locked them
up. In the evening a turbulent crowd
gathered in street near the Jail.
When the police attempted to dispense
them the men made a rush for the Jail
to release the prisoners. The police
fired upon the rioters but were unable
to drive them back until IA had been
killed and 40 wounded. Later 1000
men were gathered to attack the Jail.
A detachment Of artillery was brought
up to drive them back and is now sta
toned in front of the Jail.

Churches as Places of Refuge In War.


Our ancestors transacted a good deal
of business Of one kind or another in and
about their churches. To begin with,
the churches of old England In turbulent
times were regarded as places of safe
custody for public and private property.
In the border land of England and Scot
land the idea was carried out still moro
completely, and churches, or at least
their towers, became regular fortresses
and not infrequently were objects of of
lenses and defense. We may note in
rural England that in the cases Of an
cient churches the towers are often not
merely disproportionate in size to the
rest of the church, but are carefully and
strongly built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sussex
the belfries are yeritable strong rooms
with barred windows and massive doors
and often contain q massive treasure
chest. Hither, at the first alarm, money
and valuables were hurried, for beyond
the security of thick walls and bars and
bolts there was an @gis of sanctity
which in superstitious age protected
the building from the most ruthless Of
foes. The fortresslike construction Of
many of the border land churches is an
interesting study to antiquarians.--Lon-
don Standard.

Kstroiory az tho Day.

Astroiogy seems to 10 gaining in pop
ulaIity, and many are turning to 1t for
pointers concerning the fate that is in
store for them. Meteorologists are con-
sulting the planets in relation to changes
in the weather, and scientists are seri-
orsly discussing the probability, or even
possibility, OF the larger planets exert
ing an influence on the earth sufficient
to affect conditions Of life or health.
Astronomers do not believe in astrol-
ogy, but are willing to give the unique
science credit for assisting to develop
the science of astronomy. Long before
there was an interest taken in astronomy
there were many careful observers Of
the heavenly bodies Tie names chosen
by these men for stars and consultations
remain unchanged. Edgar Lee in Arena.

A Large Drop in Rates to the
West.

The,Great Northern innaugrated its
new train service to the Pacific Coast
on the 18th inst. with sweeping re-
auctions in rates, amounting to 40 per-
cent in many cases. The rate from
ST. Paul and Minneapolis to Puget
Sound was reduced first class from
$4,000 to $500; to Spokane from
$3.50 to $1,000, and to Helena and
Butte from $4,000 to $500, with
corresponding reductions on second
class tickets, both through rates ap-
plying proportionately to intermediate
points. It is the purpose of the
Great Northern to make rates to help
the development of its territory. 1t
is much the shortest line across the
continent, was built on business prin-
cipals, and at cost of about one half
of that of the older transcontinental
lines, and is therefore prepared to do
correspondingly well by its territory
and patrons in rates and accomoda-
tons.

LAW THAT is QUEER.

A Decision Which Practically Makes a Nom
de Plume Common Property.
A very interesting claim, in which
everv author who uses a signature is
more or less concerned, was ignomini-
ously dismissed by Judge Lacombe in
the United States circuit court. AS /
understand it, mediocre book was pub
hshed in this city purporting to have been
written by Alan Dale, the nom de plume
of one of the brightest and cleVerest Of
New York's younger literary men. AS
matter of fact, Mr.. Cohen (Alan Dale)
did not write the book, and when he
heard Of it's publication protested against
the use of his name Protest being un-
awaiting, through his counselor, Mr..
Steckler, he sued the publisher, claiming
81 900 damages. After hearing Mr.. Co
hens testimony, Judge Lacombe virtu-
ally informed the jury that there was no
necessity of further evidence, as it could
not be shown that the plaintiffs salary
on daily paper in this city had been de-
creased by reason Of the publication, or
that he had had any subsequent trouble
with publishers.
That may be law; it's not justice.
Mr.. Cohen could have proved by
George Alfred Townsend, A. @. Wheel
er, Samuel L. Clemens and other writers
of national repute that the signatures
over which they are known to the world
Of readers-Gath, Nym Crinkle, Mark
Twain-mean a fortune, and that any
use of those signatures by other parties
was not only an abuse but traverse of
equity, dishonest and cruel. / can't IN
derstand Lacombes action in the mat
ter. It virtually says to irresponsible
publishers: $50 ahead, publish what
you please, lyingly announce that the
matter is written by any author whose
name you may prefer, He has no rem
edy unless he can prove that he has lost
an engagement or is in disfavor with the
publisher"
wonder how LRcombe would like to
see decisions, purporting to have been
rendered by him, signed with his name,
circulated in tho community. And l
also wonder-whether it ever entered his
somewhat interesting mind that it is adj
yisable to mulct thieves, liars and bear
ers of false witness, for the protection of
the community Ia general and of men
as well to whom reputation is worth
much more money than the circuit
court could possibly llect,-Joseph

Washington Correspondence: There
are two members of the Democratic
administration who either do not
speak at all or else speak very softly
as they pass by. They are Attorney
General Olney and the Comptroller of
the Currency, Mr.. Eckles. The latter
is very youthful-looking man.
Early in March he was an applicant
for the position of assistant district
attorney at Chicago. He called on
Mr.. Olney in regard to the matter.
Mr.. Olney was evidently surprised to
see such boyish individual after an
important legal office and said to him
very abruptly: File your papers,
young man; file your papers" his
manner plainly intimating that the
young mans" chances would be bet
ter under some subsequent admins
tration than under this one. The
Attorney General was much surprised
when, few days later, he found that
the young man whom he had dis
missed SO summarily had been ap-
pointed by the president comptroller
of the currency, an office in some
respects quite as important as his
own.
