BOTH ROADS WILL REST.
So Says Mellen About the
Clearwater CONTROVERSY.

President c. S. Mellen, of
the Northern Pacific, before
leaving for the west said,
in reference to the much.talked
of Clearwater dispute between
his company and the O. r. &
N. Co., that he had no expect.
alton of the matter coming
up again.
"The whole subject" he
said, "was newspaper sen.
sation and was chiefly confined
to their columns. We con-
sidered that we had a right to
build into the Clearwater
district, and the O. k. & N.
Co. did not think we had. 1t
was simply a question of
which Co. should get to the
country first, and we succeed
ed. We have built about rs
miles of new line, and do not
propose to build any more.
There is no likelihood of any
other company building in that
section, at any rate for several
years when the natural devel.
opment of the country may
make it worth while to extend
the mileage already there.
The land is new and there is
barely enough traffic for one
line, certainly not for two. 1t
would be suicidal to build a
second line.
"People in the east do not
understand the nature of the
country out there. 1t is very
expensive for railroad con.
struction. 1t is practically
table land, the drainage having
cut channels 1900 to 1000
feet deep, the farming land
therefore, being at that height
above the railroad track.
This is located along the
streams, just above high
water mark, and it has been
necessary to cut or blast the
the side of the river
bank to put down the rail.
road. There is no way of
building into the country
except by paralleling the
Northern Pacific track on the
other side of the river. There
is not room for a double track
on the side we are on now.
Wheat and other products are
delivered to us by tramways
and chutes from the table
lands"

FIRST LAFAYETTE COIN.
Impfsss of Nations New
Dollar.

On the one hundredth anniversary of
the death of George Washington the
first La yayette dollar was coined by the
United States treasury in the Philadel-
phia mint, the honor of coming the new
money falling 10 the lot of Miss Clery,
of the Quaker city.
Speaking of her work, she said:
81 was so embarrassed with all the
people looking at me that could hard
ly slip the unstamped coin in the
groove.
Everyone was standing SO close and
I knew Superintendent Boyer, Director
Roberts and Engraver Barker were
watching me. My hand was shaking SO
that l felt convinced would drop the
silver on the floor"
Miss Clery felt the dramatic moment
even more keenly than the audience.
Five men stood behind her ready to turn
the great, old-fashioned press. The
round silver discs soon to become veri-
table treasures to the numismatist were
heaped up in her lap.
At her side Mr.. Thompson, secretary
of the commission, was talking.
Grouped around him stood those high
est in authority. Mr.. Roberts, keen
faced, gray-haired, erect, confident;
Mr.. Boyer, anxious, watchful; Mr.. Bar
Der, holding his powerful glass waiting
to examine the imprint of the first coin.
Someone said: ''At this hour on the
day the great Washington died we coin
the first La Fayette dollar in honor of
his foster brother"
Then came the signal, go on" and
everyone held their breaths for mo-
ment.
Miss Clery put in the silver disc.
Five men swung the wheels; there
was a jar and hitch somewhere; the
master gave few quick orders-and
that dollar, for which 5000 other dol
lars were offered--came out of the ma
chinery and was handed to the engraver
for inspection.
st is all right" said the glad voice
of the man who had been working on
this design since March.
Director Roberts took it in the name
of President Mckinley, and those who
saw it knew that they had watched one
of the great coins of the world struck.
President Mckinley will present it to
the president of France, and it will here
after repose in $1,000 case.
Miss Clery was delighted at her for
tune in being appointed to the task.
She said it was the most memorable mo-
ment of work in her life.
She completes $4,000 of them before
the task is over, and each dollar is to be
sold by the American commission for
two dollars.
This 100000 will be Americas gift to
the great equestrian statue of La Fay
cite to be erected for the French expo
sition.
The dollar designed by Mr.. Barber
has the profiles of Washington and La
Fayette overlaid on one side; on the re-
verse is copy of the La Fayette statue
as it will be.-Chicago Chronicle.
