Early in 1909 the first steps to-
ward the electrifying of the Great
Northern railway between Vancouver
and Seattle will be taken. With the
completion of this work the steam
locomotives will disappear from that
railway forever, its place to be taken
by the huge electric locomotives of
great handling capacity and speed
A feature of the plans of the COM
pany is to cater to the demand of
electrical power in Everett and Sc
attic.

10000 MEXICAN TROOPS
GUARD BORDERLAND

MEXICO CITY, Mex, June IL
Conditions on the Guatemalan from
tier were accurately depicted today
by one who has just arrived from
that section and who is Mexico
agent for the various Central Amer
lean republics.
This agent, who for political rea-
sons, desires that his name be not
used, declared that the people on
both sides of the line are greatly ex-
cited and that only a word from Pres
ident Diaz would be necessary to
cause an army of 10000 to attempt
to march on the Guatemalan camp.
He said that hundreds of Guatema-
lans We're daily crossing the line and
coming into Mexican territory. These
people, he AYERS, relate pitiable and
horrible stories of oppression.
AS to the Guatemalan forces now
on the border, he declared that not
more than 1000 were visible, but
that within a days march of the
frontier $500 troops were distribut-
ed
Traffic on the border is at stand
still, and business conditions are cha
otto. The Mexican forces are daily
being augmented.
Work is being rushed on the Pan
anna railroad and the road is now
operating trains to Huixtle, rs miles
from the border.

Plenty of Water Available.

The plans of the company for the
development of power at the falls
were considered ambitious by many
people, but still unsatisfied, the pro-
motors have determined that after
doing its work at the falls, the wat
er must again pay toll at the canyon.
Many Men Are Working.
Great progress is being made with
the construction of the dam at the
falls. With but little stir the COM
pany has placed small army of
workmen at this point. Between
three hundred and four hundred men
are now employed at and in the vi
entity of the falls, about two hun
dred men working on each shift The
greatest activity is to be seen at this
point notwithstanding the period of
high water on the river at present.
The company, by rushing its dam
water, has built to that point where
its work is not hampered to any
great extent by flood conditions.
Sub-StatiOn at Everett.
There will be but two or three
large substations on the whole trans
mission system. One will be at Van
couver and another at Everett, with
probably third at Seattle. Into
these stations the high tension will
be delivered. Although the current
will be stopped down in voltage at
these stations for distribution, it is
planned to use alternating and not
direct current altogether.

ELECTRICITY FOR
GREAT NORTHERN
Gigantic Stave River Plant Has
Made Contracts to ull G.. n.
Coast Trains in 1900.

Harvesting the great power in the
Cascades the Great Northern railway
is planning to run its trains between
Seattle and Vancouver, B. c., by
electricity. Concerning the work &C
complished along these lines the
Everett Tribune has an extended ar
ticle While nothing is said in ref
erence to the Harvesting of the water
between Wenatchee and Everett, it is
known that this is part Of the big
plan. Some time ago the railroad
company filed upon the waters of the
Wenatchee river in Tumwater cam
yon and it is believed that the time
is not far distant when the mountain
trains will be run by electricity.
At the Tunnel.
At the present time the tunnel is
worked to it's greatest capacity.
Some ten minutes must elapse be-
tween trains in order to allow the
tunnel to clear itself of smoke. A
good current of wind from the west
through the tunnel clears out the
passage in this short space of time,
The use of electric yower will prob
ably be one of the first moves along
the line, as some method must be
provided to take more freight trains
through the tunnel.
The Tribune says:
RUSKIN, B. c., June Through
radical changes of plans in connec-
ton with the development and dis
tribution Of hydro-electric power
from the Stave river, the scope of
the undertaking has been so extern
sively increased that it has become
one of the most important of the
many great works of the kind for
which the Pacific coast is noted the
continent over.
The promoters of the State Lake
Power company originally planned
to harness the power of the Stave
river in order to supply electrical
energy to the city of Vancouver and
country; now ambition
and opportunity dictate that the
mystical force of the Stave shall
whirl Great Northern trains between
Vancouver and Seattle in 1909 Be-
sides electrifying the Great Northern.
the current is to furnish power for
V. Y. & E. trains between Vancouver
and Sumas, and it will also drive the
wheels of factories and mills in
Washington and even in the city of
Seattle itself.

Will Harness the Canyon.

The development OF this enormous
horsepower on this river, thirty-five
miles to the east of Vancouver, can
only be made possible by the most
absolute subsection of its waters:
every miners inch of the stream
must be made to pay tribute in its
rush to the sea, and to bring this
about the bold scheme of throwing
up dam across the river at the low
er end Of the canyon has been adopt
ed. This canyon is situated about
one mile as the crow flies from the
confluence of the Stave and Fraser
rivers at this point.

Great Horse Power Available.

It is estimated that when the
Stave river has been damned, boxed.
up and thoroughly harnessed in ac-
cordance with the new scheme of de-
velopment, not less than three hun
dred thousand horsepower will be on
tap. At the turn of a wheel that
tremendous amount of pent up
energy will be turned loose to its
work.

a serious wreck Of the Congressional Linn

Pennsylvania Railroad, on the Gunpowder
River Bridge about o'clock tonight
The train, comprising six Pullmans, with
smoker and diner, was en- route from
New York. and was crossing the bridge
at a rate Of about thirty miles an hour
Suddenly from under the floor of the din
ing car, the second coach Of the train,
a terrific noise was heard, and at the
same time the floor Of the car began
to vibrate as though it were being
dragged over a cobble paved street.
Williams. who vas in the chair car

that something was wrong. jerkcd the
emergency brake cord The train quickly
slowed but not before the porter had
pulled the cord 10 its utmest, thus lock
ing every wheel.
An investigation showed that the rear
truck OF the diner had jumped the track.
and that all that prevented the coach
from plunging from the bridge into the
water. and probably taking the rear cars
with it, was the guard rail.
It was found that the train had run
several hundred feet with the truck of
the tracks. The passengers recognized
that the pOrter's prompt action had
avoided an accident. which might have
proved fatal to many. for the water
under the bridge is at least a dozen
feet deep. They showed their gratitude
over their escape by presenting the porter
