THE RAILROADS

Quite a number Of people from Mis-
souri,, who came west on the home
seekers excursion, are returning home.
The significance of the presence in
the Boundary country of a party of
railroad surveyors is puzzling, says the
Spokesman Review. Local railroad Of
ficials. railroad contractors and even
railroad reporters admit there is much
of mystery concerning the party. That
the road to Republic "a phrase fast
becoming meaningless from overuse)
has to do with the presence of the party
is believed, particularly by those to
whom the hope is father to the thought.
Rumors, some wild and readily de-
tected as baseless, others apparently
having foundation of truth. are nu-
merous. A railroad to Republic that
will make low rates on ore shipm I1ts
means dividends from the mines in
which countless Spokane people are in
terested. A railroad to Republic via
the Kettle river or San Poll river routes
means that Spokane jobbers will corral
the business of the north half.
Here is the situation: James j. Hill
will go in via the Kettle river route, he
has said, which will require a Canadian
franchise, or he will go in via Wenat-

NO MATINEE TODAY OWING TO A
WASHOUT ON THE NORTH
ERN PACIFIC,
WILL PROBABLY Be
ON HAND TONIGHT.
Passengers Are Being Transferred by
the Philipsburg Train-Rivers
Flooded by Recent Thaw.

The Northern Pacific train which was
ed near Drummond last night and will
not reach here until late this afternoon.
Sousa's band is on the train and as a
result there was no concert at the Grand
Opera house this afternoon. Local Of
ficials of the Northern Pacific state that
the train is expected to arrive this at
terToon in time to admit of the perform
ance OF Sousa's band tonight.
The trouble is due to tn. weakening Of
two bridges and by great good fortune
the Philipsburg train is between the two
breaks in the line making it possible to
transfer passengers without waiting un-
til the damage has been repaired.
The recent thaw has caused the rivers
to run very full and the flow Of water
weakened the supports of the bridge at
Hell Gate just beyond Drnmond, making
it unsafe for the train to attempt a cross.
ing. After some delay the Philipsburg
train which connects with the main line
at Drummond was pressed into service
and the passengers transferred to it.
lust beyond Garrison, at a siding bear
ing the name of Lloyd, the Philipshurg
train was brought to a standstil by
condition similar to that encountered at
Hell Gate, a bridge at that point being
weakened to such an extent by the water
that crossing was out of the question.
This necessitated another transfer and
it was some time before a train could be
secured to take the passengers.
If two breaks had occurred en- the main
line in a position where there was no
branch line between the two points, the
chances are that the system would have
been tied up until the damage had been
repaired and the passengers would have
had to possess their souls in patience. 1t
is regarded as a most fortunate circum-
stance that the company was able to
make use Of it's Philipsburg train in the
transfer of the passengers. A wreck
ing crew is now on tthe ground and will
use all haste i'll repairing the weak
spots.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CUT
TING OFF ALLOWANCES TO
ALLEGED PAUPERS.
MORE DISCOVERIES MADE
BY A SPECIAL OFFICER.
People Who Eave Been Living on the
Fat Of the Land at the Expense of
the County.

The special officer appointed by the
county commissioners at the request of
County Auditor Crossman to investigate
the condition of those drawing supplies
from the county has just finished up
another district. and as a result. some
of the alleged paupers will find their
supplies reduced or cut off entirely when
the next day for dishing up aims ar
rives. In view of the fact that the
officer is doing good work, it has been
decided to keep him in the harness a
while longer although his appointment
in the first place was to cover a period
of only month.
In one place visited by him in Cen
terville he says he founu a supposed pau

millionaire. she having on hat with
large black plumcs in it and a silk
dress cut in the latest fashion.
Following are a few of the notes made
by him in his rounds:

very prosperous condition.
Mrs. John Collins, 139 Clear Grit Ter

a son, aged II years. is working at the
st. Lawrence; Mrs. Collins has just re-

found dead near the Butte Brewery on

house and cabin in Walkerville, which
she rents and pays rent in another place
herself; allowance for rent cut off. but
allowances for other purposes permitted

chez. In the latter event Seattle gets
the business. The Kettle river route
is the better grade, but the Canadian
Pacific has always succeeded in block
ing the necessary Canadian franchise.
But old franchises exist; one, for in
stance, granted the Vancouver, Vic
toria & Eastern, Mackenzie & Mann,
for road from Vancouver to Nelson,
B. c., with the right to construct forty
mile branch lines.
This old franchise mas been lying
dormant because the clause providing a
subsidy had been striker by the gov
eminent. Hill is said to own this now.
If he does not own it absolutely, con-
ditiOns and circumstances at least indi-
cate he controls it, Mackenzie & Mann
have been and are fighting the Cana
dian Pacific. as has been and is James
j. HILL Mackenzie & Mann last week
spent many hours at st. Paul in con-
ference with Mr.. Hill. Was it not re-
suit of this conference that the corps
of railroad surveyors from St. Paul and
Canada came west on Great Northern
passes and is about to start work in
the Boundary country?
1t is claimed that under this franchise
Mr.. Hill gets all he needs in the way of
rights for the Kettle river route. That
there is any immediate intention of
continuing the line on to Vancouver
over the route named in the franch;~e
is not tn Dught probable. Sunni ng It Al
up, the prospects for railroad trans
portation facilities for Republic seem
much less remote.

AS the Burlington is the natural west
ern connection of the Pennsylvania, it
would surprise no one to learn that the
Pennsylvania had acquired the Burling-
! ton either by purchase or guarantees.
The Burlington people would rather see
their property controlled by the Penn
sylvania than by other interests. Nor
gan wanted to secure control of the st.
Paul for connection between the Erie
and the Northern Pacific. He was de-
feated by the position of few large
holders of Pennsylvania stock
1t is out of the question for Morgan
to think of acquiring the Northern Pa
cific, hence the Burlington is the only
| great system available. There may
come sort Of triangular interest in the
Burlington, with the Pennsylvania, I'm
! ion Pacific and Morgan roads as parties
in interest.
There is tendency to associate the
advance in Great Northern with that
in st. Paul and to infer that the 'deal'
is on again. Such conclusion is not
accepted in we'll informed quarters.
