The Difference.

In history the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is
that the one stood for debased cur
rency, the other for honest cur
rency; the one for free silver, the
other for sound money; the one for
free trade, the other for protection;
the one for contraction of American
influence the other for expansion;
the one has been forced to abandon
every position taken on the great
issues before the people, the other
has held and vindicated all.
In experience, the difference be-
tween Democracy and Republican,
ism is that one means adversely,
while the other means high prosper
ity; one means doubt and debt, the
other means confidence and thrift.
In principle, the difference be-
tween Democracy and Republican,
ism is that one stands for vacilla-
tion and timidity in government,
the other for strength and purpose;
one stands for obstruction, the
other for construction; one promises
the other performs; one finds fault,
the other finds work.

Cossrove Winning

Things political in Seattle are
commencing to warm up consider
ably. In spite of the big effort that
is being made to have the votere of
King county make good on the
famous agreement by supporting
Ankeny it is generally conceded
here that Ankeny will run away
behind Jones on the west side as he
will on the east side. The govern
orship fight is still considered to be
between Cosgrove, Mead and Nc
Bride, with Cosgrove showing the
greatest gain. The wonderful pro-
gress he is making since he opened
his headquarters in Seattle, is dis
concerting the other camps. The
Seattle Star, by the way, came out
editorially for Cosgrove last week
making the first daily with a big
circulation on the west side to pick
the Pomeroy man as its candidate

NORTH COAST BUYS
SPOKANE TERMINALS
Pays a Million Dollars for ia Pieces Of
Spokane Real Estate

A lively interest in the North
Coast railway and the promoters
has been aroused by the announce
ment in the Sunday Review of the
purchase of Spokane terminals.
The amounts vary from $50, 900
paid to Greenough and Hogan. to
$500 for a lot in West Grove addi-
ton. It is estimated that a half
million more will be required to
complete the line of right-of-way in
Spokane.
Deeds for approximately 81 900
600 worth of property within the
city limits of Spokane were filed
Saturday by the North Coast Rail
way company. In all there were
ia deeds, which cover an almost
unbroken strip from the city hall to
the southwestern city limits, ex-
tending along Front and Ide avenu-
es. The proposed line will cross
the river at Monroe street, in what
manner has not beer determined,
and again crosses the river a little
south of west of Ide avenue con-
tinued. The line then swings to
the south, touching the city limits
and following Hangman creek.
The recent efforts to defeat cer-
tain street Improvements on the
north side of the river west of Mon
roe street by North Coast railway
interests and the filing for record
by the North Coast company yes
terday of the transfers, with other
significant Developments, again
bring the long-mysterious North
Coast enterprise into the limelight.
"The line from Spokane to Seattle
is 378 miles, said President R. E.
Strathorn yesterday when asked to
give some details Of the North Coast
road; the Portland line from the
junction point in the lower Cowlitz
valley is approximately IS miles;
the -Walla Walla line is
l43 miles; the Walla Walla division
between Walla Walla and Kiona is
68 miles; the Palouse branch from
Spokane to Tekoa is Al miles, and
the Davenport branch from Ritz
vile junction to Davenport is 4;
miles. .
This makes the total mileage oi
the North Coast Railroad system
now provided for as follows:
Spokane to Seattle, 37S miles;
Portland junction to Portland, 8!
miles; Kiona to Walla Walla, 6
miles; Spokane to Tekoa, Al miles
Ritzville junction to Walla Walla
81 miles; Davenport branch, 4!
miles; total 7O1 miles.
Of this mileage some 40 mile
have been graded in the Yakim;
valley. Construction is also in pro
gress on the Palouse branch. Be

sides the above, surveys are pro-
crossing southeast of Walla Walla
toward Snake and Salmon rivers
for some supposed eastern connec-
ton, and on other branch lines. A
comparison of the above distances
with those of existing lines between
the points shows the North Coast to
! be 81 miles shorter to Walla Walla
six miles shorter to Tekoa and "a
miles shorter to North Yakima
than the other lines. Engineers
conversant with the facts say great
care and expense have been devot-
ed to getting the easiest grades and
lightest curvature the country af-
fords and declare what can and has
been done in this lire all over the
state by the North Coast is we'll
illustrated by the facts that it sur
mounts the Cascade range with a
II IA per cent maximum grade and
6 per cent maximum curvature, as
against 2 1-5 per cent arades and
10 per cent curves on the best ex-
listing lines. They also declare
that North Coast maximum grades
and curves are less than half those
of existing lines between Spokane
and Walla Walla and between Spo-
kane and Yakima, while the differ
ence is even greater in favor of the
Noerh Coast lines into the Palouse
and Big Bend regions.
Other important and expensive
features are the two Columbia river
bridges, costing about half a million
dollars each. One of these is on
the Spokane-S Seattle line near Rim
gold bar and the other is on the
Seattle-walla walla line just below
the mouth of the Snake river.
There is also a high and long
bridge across the Snake river on
the Spokane-walla walla line near
the mouth of the Palouse. About
eight miles of Palouse canyon, down
which this line must run to descend
to the Snake river, is not only one
of the most magnificent stretches o1
canyon scenery in the world, but al.
so an enormously expensive avenue
for railroad. 1t is said that this
section will cost close to $500 ,OO(
per mile. A scene of wonderful
sublimity is enjoyed where the lin,
passes Palouse falls.
The Cascade mountain crossin,
!; from the headwaters of the Tietol
on the east side to the head O
the Cowlitz river on the ives
involves a three mile tunnel an,
some wondrous mountain scenery
on the west side especially, wher

is in full view. The cost of tn
