A NEW RAILWAY PROJECT.
To Connect British Columbia and
Washimgto; State.

w c. Morris of Republic, Wash, is in
the city in the interests of a projected
railway to be built from Grand Forks,
British Columbia, to Republic. AS the
latter place is on the Ccgyille Indian res
ervation it is necessary to get permission
from the Indian Bureau in order to con-
struct railway across it. Mr. Morris is
here to secure that consent.
Republic, although only four years old,
has developed into one of the most impor-
tant gold camps in the Northwestern
States" he said to a Times reporter. One
mine. from which the town took its name,
was sold two years ago for S3,50O,0O0 to
Canadian capitalists, and is now paying
them. enormous dividends. Other proper
ties IRE first being placed on tie same
comfortable basis of i5fofts.
The town has population of about
1000 and as the miners WHO form the bulk
of the population draw at least $3.50 a
day, it is easy TO see that the place is
prosperous. To Western men it seems in
credible that the coal workers of Penn
syIvania should be shaving for their pit
