Great Northern Notes

Superintendent Brown, of the western
district of the Great Northern, has an
nounced that 300 men will be put to
work in this city on March l, to complete
the work Of constructing the new bridge
across the Pend d'Oreille river and com
pleting the cutoff at the meadows be-
tween this city and Albeni Falls.
Mr.. Brown has just returned from a
meeting of the division superintendent
of the road. He said: Nothing out of
the ordinary came .up before the meet
ing. We merely discussed matters OF
the operating department, and outlined
the work that will be done during the
coming season. am not prepared to
say that any extra amount of work will
be doue on the line. We have kept
about 900 men at work all the winter.
and this force will be greatly increased
in the near future. We have laid about
100 miles of rails in the western district.
and expect by the end of the season to
put down about 100 miles more. When
the work planned is completed the line
will be in frst-class shape in every par
ticular."

PREPARE FOR BUSINESS
Navigation Company Putting Its
Fleet in Shape.
John McInnis, Jr., Is Manager

John McInnis, Jr. has been appointed
general manager of the Pend d'Oreille
River Navigation Co., succeeding w.
II. Irving resigning on account of ill
health
Mr.. McInnis took charge of the COM
panv's business last Saturday and will
devote his entire time to the improve
ment of the company property.
The new superintendent has had a
number of years experience in the river
transportation business and understands
the needs of the river towns as we'll as
any man in this section. In addition
he has large acquaintance throughout
the valley, having been one of the active
partners in the McInnis Lumber Com
pany, which has operated camps, mills
and boats on the river.
"Commodore" Jack, as he will have
to be addressed in the future. has started
work in his usual energetic manner,
and now has a force of ten men at work
rebuilding the steamer Spokane at the
Langille shipyards. The repairs on this
old standby of the company will be very
extensive and will include new hull. a
shifting OF the machinery and an in
crease in boiler capacity. The latter
will be provided by the addition of the
boilers from the Columbia, which has
been out of service for several years
The work of putting the Spokane on the
stocks was started on Monday. The re-
pairs necessarily will not be completed
for at least 80 days, and when the old
boat is again afoat she will be in better
shape than for years and will take her
place on the line.
w. F. Millard is engaged in making
and fitting sheet iron protectors for the
lifeboats on the Newport. Heretofore
the boats have been covered with canvas
protectors, but the sparks from the
stacks have frequently set fire to and
destroyed these.
All the barges of the navigation COM
pany will be placed in frst-class condi-
ton before the opening of navigation.
The new manager is certainly making a
good start for a successful year.
The Fidelity pile driver is still at work
on the company's new booms across the
river. About 250 piles have been driven
so far. The work is necessarily slow,
but it is being done in first-class man
ner.
The water in the river is still at very
low stage and interferes with naviga-
tion.

ner, the we'll known Metaline mining
engineer is the general manager.
The company has just closed deal
with Portland parties for the purchase
of the gasoline launch Nancy, one OF the
fastest boats on the Willamette river
last season.
The Nancy is 40 feet long, has seven
foot beam and draws % inches when
loaded. She is equipped with six
cylinder gasoline engine having five
inch bow and six inch stroke. The
boat is lighted bv electricity, having
both storage battery and dynamo.
Her bow is encased in glass and she is
supplied with curtains to protect pas
sengers aft. The new bidder for patron
age will have capacity for carrying 20
passengers and the owners expect to
make the round trip between Metaline
and Newport daily, leaving the former
place in the morning and arriving at
this port by noon.
The Nancy was built at Portland dur
ing the year 1907 by the Honeyman Co.
and at the time of her trial was the fast

In connection with the new boat the
compans will construct large bateau

towed backward and forward through
the canyon, and thus save the necessity
for the wagon haul around that stretch
of water.

finest of service, in connection with the
other boats. It is expected that, when
the schedules are arranged, person
