c. e Watch Meeting.

As announced at their last meet
ing, the Christian Endeavor Society
held watch meeting at the resi-
dence of DR.. Green on New Years
eve. Realizing the tediousness of
an all nights watch, the earlier
part of the evening was devoted to
games and conversation. About
half-past nine sleigh bells were
heard outside and large sleigh,
we'll supplied with straw and
blankets, invitingly stopped near
the front door. The house was
soon emptied and the sleigh filed
to it's fullest extent and then some
more piled in on top, when the
horses, eager to be ON the move,
leaped forward amid shouts, songs
and footing Of horns Of the gay
load behind them. A merry ridt
OF an hour and q half ensued, en-
circling the town and disturbing

door and said they wanted to come
in bnt Church told them he had
closed up and would not open
again that night. Long then
started home but Chambers and
Nevens continued to shake the

This Sounds Good.

The Tacoma Ledger in it's issue
Of January Goth says:
''There has been settlement OF
the troubles between the Northern
Pacific and Oregon Railroad &
Navigation regarding construction
into Idaho, and it is believed that
the coming year will witness a
large amount Of railroad work done
in that state by both lines. just
what the plans Of either road are
is not known, but it is believed
they will be announced within a
short time. The Oregon lines
have begun extending their sur
veys, and as the whole fight was
to see which road would get into
the wheat sections of that state
fret, there is every probability that
the Northern Pacific will be at
work soon.
"The fight was one of the fierc-
est that has ever been waged in
the northwest. It came about
with the development of the wheat
fields of Idaho. The first agree.
ment to cease building expired
February 4, 1900, and at that time
or little before a new agreement
was made to continue the old
agreement in force for another
year from that date. However, ii
is announced that the matter has
all been settled, but the terms have
not been announced, and both
roads will do the constructing they
may think necessary in the
state.
s'During the past season there
has been hard fight between the
two roads over the crops of the
Clearwater country. The Oregon
Railroad & Navigation has done
all in its power to take the wheat
to Portland, but in the fight it has
been bested and by far the greater
amount has come to Tacoma.
With the new lines built there will
be a large increase in the ship
ment of this class of freight tt
Tacoma, and, in fact, with the
Northern Pacific covering thu
territory it originally sought there
will be little left for the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation to secure.
During the coming year thu
Northern Pacific will make al
effort to settle the wheat districts
of Idaho, and with this done it will
be as beneficial to this part o
Washington as though the farmer
were to take land in this state
1t is believed the grain trade o
Idaho will always belong to Ia
