NORTH COAST DEPOT.
Road Has Two Locations i'm View at
Granger.

At a largely attended meeting of
the Granger Commercial club the
matter of the location of the North
Coast depot was considered. The
road has two locations in view, but
before making a definite decision the
company desired an expression from
the town. One site is just north of
point where the North Coast road
will cross Northeast A street, and is
about the same distance from the
business part of the town as the
Northern Pacific depot. The other
location is west of the Woods or
chard, half mile north of town.
The meeting favored the location
of the depot at or near the inter-
section of North Second and East A
streets. for the reason that the To-
cation will best serve the traffice in
terests of Granger and tributary
country. The citizens of Granger
would regard the other location re-
ferred to-, that is, on the outskirts
of the town, as not only inimical to
their interests, but placing the North
Coast railroad company at a decided
disadvantage with the Northern Pa
cific railroad company in competin Z
for the business of this territory.

DELAY THEATRE.
Bernard Having Difficulty in Secur-
ing a House.

The inability of X. G.. Bernard to
secure a suitable house in which to
open his vaudeville theatre will prob
ably delay him short time, al
though he asserts he will open in
less than so days. John Cort has the
only theatre in town and it is i'm
possible to secure his house, so that
Mr.. Bernard must look for a bust
ness house which he can convert in
to a theatre. He exepcted to rent
a part of the Keck building, but the
owner refused to allow any altera-
tions TO be made, so that this scheme
must be abandoned. Mr.. Bernard
owns two houses in San Francisco,
both of which were destroyed by the
earthquake last year He has closed
a contract with the Sullivan-Consi-
dine circuit and expected to open
last Monday. 1t is possible that he
will build temporary structure for
the summer months, as this will en-
able him to find house by fall.

officers and comrades began to tell
up on the spirit of the soldiers; but
they were becoming discouraged
and not to be relied upon with con-
iffdence. Some of them were re-
oruits but recently Joined; two of the
company had musketoons, which
we're utterly worthless in our pres

would give the troops no rest during

creased. I determined for these
reasons to make a forced march to
Snake rive, SIS miles distant, and
secure the canoes in advance of the
Indians, who had already threatened
to do the same in regard to us. At

two howitzers.
"The necessity for this last meas
ure will give you, as we'll as many
words, the conception of the strait
to which we believed ourselves to
be reduced Not an officer Of the
command doubted that we would be
overwhelmed with the first rush OF
the enemy upon our position in the
morning. to retreat further by day,
with our wounded men and property,
was out of the question; to retreat
slowly by night equally so, as we
could then be in condition to fight
all next day. 1t was therefore nee
essary to relieve ourselves of all in
cumbrances and to fly. we had no
horse able to carry the guns over
so miles without resting, and if the
enemy would attack us en- route, as,
from their ferocity, we certainly ex-
pected they would, not a soldier
could be spared from any other duty
than skirmishing.
''For these reasons, which I own
candidly seemed to be more cogent
at the time than they do now,

distresses me is that no attempt was

some time past. The reduction of the Bank
of England rate of discount April H. from

cradle Improvement in the volume of bust
ness. but these failed to materialize, the
cheap monetary conditions, brought out
fresh issues. and public buying became very
apathetic, except in the case of consois and
few good class investment stocks, which
finished the week Arm. .The dullness OF
