CROWS NEST PASS RAILWAY.
Something of the Country Through
Which the Road VIII Pass.

Spokane, June 7.-Speaking of the
Crows Nest Pass railway, one who is
well acquainted with the country
through which it will pass said to
Spokesman-Review reporter: AT the
present time there are thousands of
Spokane and Washington people inter-
ested in the mineral deposits along the
proposed line of this great road, who
will be made wealthy by it's construc-
ton. I have just been up in the Fort
Steele country. and there are hundreds
of prospectors from the states up there.
They are on their way to the Moyie,
Perry and Werner creeks, to the wild
Horse and Bull rivers, into that great
ravine east of the mountain spurs
which cast their shadows on the east
bank of the Kootenay; they swarm up
the st. Mary's and off towards the
North Star property and the Sullivan
group, where there are supposed to be
some excessively rich deposits; they are
off on the range, far back of the new
townsite of Wardner, and many have
gone toward the upper waters of the
Kootenay, travelling OFF at Sheep creek
to locate the minerals of that region
All will not get interests there, but
many will, and as those interests will
be reasonably close to the railroad, de-
velopment is certain to follow.
1.-THE Sullivan group, one of the
most wonderful ore bodies yet found in
America, is owned by Spokane men al
most exclusively. Besides, one must not
overlook other things. Within the past
few days 1 have been told of discov-
cry that considering the conditions
hereabouts, is of more Importance than
that of gold and silver, and that is the
discovery of a large deposit of venia-
tite iron. With SUCH iron near coal
deposite like that &c the Crows Nest
pass, there is no reason why a. great
iron manufacturing center should not
spring up near us, which would pro-
duce all the steel required not only in
British Columbia, but in this section as
we'll, at greatly reduced rates. Spo-
kane is the nearest city to this new Sec
ton, and the fact of an international
boundary line can not rob her of a
great portion of her profit"
The Canadian Pacific company is to
construct the road, which is to run from
Lethbridge, N. w. T., by way of the
Crows Nest pass, through the Rocky
mountains, terminating at Rossland
B. c. The road will be 800 miles in
| length, and the government is to pay
! the Canadian Pacific a bonus of 81 zoo
per mile. In return the railway COM
pany comedies running power over the
road to any and all other railroads, and
the freight rates at all times are to be
under control of the government. The
Canadian Pacific also agrees to reduc
lions in freight rates on their main line
running from 10 to SO per cent. Con
struction is to begin at once.
Montreal, Jun 6.-Dan Mann of thi!
city and William Mckenzie of Toronto
have been awarded by the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company the contrac
for the building of the Crows Nest pass
railway from Lethbridge, N. w. T., tt
Robson, B. c., a distance of 800 miles
1t is said the work will cost from SIS,
900 to SIS, 900 per mile.

DISCUSS THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
Senator Mantle Makes a Two Hours
Speech.


Speech.
Washington, June Sin his speech
on the tariff bill Senator Mantle of
Montana said that there had been no
opportunity for presenting the WOOL
growers side of the contention in the
other branch of congress, for the reason
that, owing to the brief time allowed
for debate, the wool schedule had new
err been reached in that body. He pre-
sented fully and supported with nu-
merous tables and statistics the wool
growers side of the controversy and
showed the enormous losses sustained
by the wool-growers in the deprecia-
ton in the value of sheep and wool
during the past six years. He declared
that by reason of the enormous impor-
tations, in anticipation of tariff law,
the wool-growers would not receive
much benefit from the protective tariff
for four years to come.
He asserted that whenever a ariff
law Is to be enacted the powerful man
ufacturing interests of the country are
always on the ground pushing their in
terests. while the farmers and wool
growers are an isolated and scattered
class, from the nature of their vocation,
and are thus lacking in effective organ,
ization; hence they had not received
their just share of protection. The
great majority of the wool-grow ars Of
the country are protectionists and re-
publicans; most of them are believers
in the free coinage of gold and silver.
But the questions of protection and
free coinage having been divided in the
last campaign, the wool-growers ac-
cepting the pledge contained in The re-
publican national platform in favor of
ample protection for wool, and believ-
ing protection to be the paramount is
sue, cast their votes in the doubtful
states for Mckinley and elected him.
The tariff bill as it passed the house,
and as now amended by the senate,
utterly fails to meet the expectations
of the wool-growers and is regarded by
them largely as a reputation IF the
republican pledge.
The wool-growers of the country, he
continued, are indignant over this
treatment, and he warned the reoupli-
cans that they must change the pro-
posed rates or they would lose the sup
| port of this numerous element in the
ensuing campaign. He asserted that
the Mckinley law had not afforded the
necessary protection to wool-grow srs,
and quoted statistics to prove his as
sertion.

r WAS A FATAL MISTAKE.
Prominent Pal0use Farmer Drinks
Too Much AcOnite. ..s--.-.

Cheney, June &c. p. Whalen, well
known resident of this place, died Sunday
under unusually distressing circum-
stances. Mr.. Whalen had not been feel
ing well for a day or two and yesterday
morning he tried to ease his sufferings by
taking tincture of aconite. Not being ac-
quainted with the poisonous nature of the
drug, or accidentally taking too much, he
began to sink rapidly and died within an
hour. A physician was called as soon as
the mistake was discovered, but all to
no purpose. He was a prominent and well
to do farmer of the Palouse country, only
recently removing his family to Cheney
to get the advantages of the city schools.
He was a man of sterling worth and his
death is deeply deplored. A wife and five
children survive him.

LOyeiOy,s Monument.

Alton. ILL.,, June 1.-The first martyr to
the cause of the enslaved negro was Eli
jah Parrish Lovejoy, who was murdered
on the 7th of November, 1887, a quarter of
a century prior to the martyrdom of the
countless thousands who finally gave up
their lives in the same cause. and in
whose memory the day was being observ-
ed throughout the land. His grave has
been marked with an imposing monument,
which was dedicated in the presence of
such throng as was never seen in the
town of Alton. The address of the day
was delivered by Hon. Thomas Dimmock
of st. Louis, who was a close friend of
Lovejoy's during the latter's short and
tragic career.

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK FOR CROPS.
Squirrels, GrasshOppers and the Hot
Wave Practically Harmless.

Spokane, June Especial crop reports
in the Spokesman-Review say that while
the hot wave passed over the Palouse
country 1t did not do much damage to
grain and that in the vicinity of Pullman
wheat Is so far advanced that 1t would
take weeks Of exceeding hot weather
to do it much damage. Moisture is retain
ed in the soil to wonderful degree in the
Big Bend country, and as a general thing
excellent crop prospects are reported.
More than the usual amount of barley and
oats will be raised this year in the Pot
latch country, and the prospects of crops
in general are excellent, especially in the
matter OF fruit. In scattered spots there
are reports of grasshoppers and squirrels,
but the damage caused by the pests Is
insignificant.
