New York, Feb. 3.-The North Coast
railroad, it transpires, is not a creation
Of this year nor last. The major part
Of its survey was completed more than
two years and half ago, and it prob
ably would have come to light earlier
had it not been that the general col
lapse In railway enterprises in 1908
checked 1t.
Contracts have been made for traffic
at various points that would astonish
agents and officials Of one or two other
lines Il they were published in detail.
The proposition, visionary as it looked
at first, has been pretty well ahead of
the game for a long time. Some of the
principal troubles of the Milwaukee
board In locating the new line to the
Pacific coast are traceable to the fact
that the communities thru which the
new Milwaukee line will run had been
pretty thoroly canvassed by the North
Coast people prior to the appearance Of
the Milwaukee agents.
The securing Of terminal rights at
various points has been a smooth piece
of work, judging by results. Only at
Seattle has there been the least trouble.
due to the fact that the Hill agents at
Seattle had their eyes open, and that
the city council wanted to know so
much in advance.
North Coast is backed by enough
capital to build the road and four more
like 1t, if the capitalists wanted to go
in for things on the Jim Hill scale.
If it should be found advisable to build
more branches than those laid down in
the seanty outline given to the press by
Mr.. Strathorn, the syndicate will sup
ply the funds. There is only one man
from Washington in the crowd that is
behind the road, and the fasteners
have the cash. At any rate, the COM
pany will have as affiliations at least
one other railroad now under construc
tion in the northwest, and perhaps two.
The relationship between this COM
now building a. line north from Spo-
ure. It may simply be assumed that
Canadian Pacific, is not one of the nu-
merous and interesting foes of the
North Coast railway.
$500 per mile in net to look after its
cost, If the whole thing should be put
into bonds at about 5 per cent. This
that the road will earn this money. In
of the original cost will be met by a
direct bond issue, entailing carrying
cost Of about half a million dollars a
wear. This would leave a safe surplus
after charges, even if the road only
managed to make 81, 100 per mile. The
financing has not yet been arranged,
and sketches Of it in advance are to be
understood as the merest sketches.

has not had much time to analyz, the

Naturally he Is pleased with the
strong endorsement given him ip
many counties and the evident lack
Of anything like opposition to him
among the people of the state. Be
yond this, however, he is greatl.
satisfied with the showing made b.
the dispensary people In ali directions
He Is more firmly convinced now thar
sver, he says, that In the counties
where the dispensary was voted ou
there was No real expression of ma
}ority Of the people. He predicts tina,
practically every county in the state
WIZ, as quickly as possible, desert the
prohibition farce it has In vogue and
return to the control of the whiske,
traffic under the dispensary system.
Senator Tillman said that it was
plainly evident that the wave of
opposition to the dspensary that ran
through the state for awhile ia peter
ing out and he believes that the ia
stitutjon, under promise Of better
management and laws that will pre-
vent corruption and fraud, will be
sustained by q larger majority than

senator renews his promise to lead
