NOT YET Terminus for Grand Trunk
 N xt Year
bOrealis.

James Anderson, who has been in Northern British Columbia seeking timber locations for a syndicate ot American and Canadian capitalists, thinks that no decision will likely be reached as to a terminus this season of the Grand Trunk Pacific. The impress sion prevails, he says, that the com ing summer will be spent in surveys, and that a decision as to the exact route will not be made until perhaps the following year. He does not there fore anticipate any marked activity this coming summer on the northern coast in consequence of the Grand Trunk Pacific. The company's engi- neers will likely be busy inland.

RIO GRANDE MAY
 CHANGE ITS COURSE
BROWNSVILLE WILL BE LEFT HIGH AND DRY AND EXTENSIVE IRRIGATION SYSTEM WILL BE RENDERED USELESS.

San Antonio. Texas, October 2.-From all indications now at hand from recent reports received from the over flowed country in the Brownville section, 1t ap- pears that there Is strong probability that the bed of the Rio Grande will be shown when the waters have receded to be occupying the bed of the Arroyo Colorado, which ages ago was its orig inal bed.
 Should this prove true. the people of this section of Texas, who would be be- reft of the river, would suffer greatly. The city of Brownsville one of the bright est prospects in the state, would be cut off from the river. the miles of irrigation ditches and canals dug would be render ed worthless, and property values depen dent upon the Rio Grandes flow would be materially cut down. This would apply to considerable area, the land below the Arroya, into which the river Is running twelve miles above Brownsville.
 The title to this property Is not in ques- ton. About seven years ago joint com mission appointed by the respective gov ernments of the United States and Mex leo, owing to the troublesome habit of the river changing it's mouth, hit upon a compromise boundary, and two years ago marked 1t with monuments, where they stand, however, the river may shift | about.

London, October 2.-The stock exchange last week assumed a most cheerful as- pect and though the actual dealings are not yet numerous, the distinct advance in prices recorded in most markets and the strong demand for good investment securities gives promise of better times.

 Thousands of the buttons had been ex- pressed to western states by the time the discovery was made, and fear that the Bryanites might take umbrage lead the leaders to place an order for smaller button with Parker and Davis ensconced in an invironment of silver. These were sent to Nebraska and other western states, while the gold buttons were recalled and distributed elsewhere.
