About the time that verigin came

movement was set afoot to persuade
the government to take back the

agitation claimed that the community
had more land than II ever would be

Railroad Surveyors at Watervilles
Chic Engineer A. F. Whitcomb has
started his surveying crew at work
running a line into Waterville via the
Godlove draw, coming from the
south, says the big Bend Empire.
This makes the people of Douglas
wonder if they are going to be left
off the railroad map.
Right-of-way agent A. M. Ander-
son, arrived in town Tuesday, and
next day went to the Mansfield coun-
try to buy rights of way for the G. N.
The starting of the survey to
Waterville will make our residents
feel better-for time. at least.
We are satisfied that the Great
Northern means business and will
build into Waterville the coming
summer.

Looking for Railroad Pass.

A gentleman visited Lakeside last
week who said he was in charge of a
party of twelve railroad engineers,
which was to be sent here to sur
vey a line along the south bank of
the lake, up the Stehekin valley and
through the Cascades by the way of
Thunder Creek pass. 1t was not
possible to learn for whom this sur
yey is to be made; but it would ap-

GREAT NORTHERN
NOT To BUILD
Up THE RIVER
CONTINUED from First Page.)

structions are to rush the survey so
that building can be commenced at
once
The Great Northern fears the in
vasion of the territory that it has
always claimed, and if possible is go
ing to put in feeders sufficient to
hold it. The Okanogan and Methow
country is going to ultimately furnish
vast amount of tonnage and the
Great Northern is going to seek to
save it. The company evidently deems
that the upper country is in more
danger than the country along the
Columbia, and for this reason the
building of the road up the Columbia
has been deferred.
Whether or not this is good bust
ness remains to be seen. The Mil
waukee transcontinental line will be
finished by June 1 and the company
has unlimited means back of it for
feeder lines and already lines have
been surveyed up the Columbia river
as far as Wenatchee. 1t is confident
ly expected here that the road will
be built up this side of the river this
season, building as far as Wenat-
chez anyway.
Furthermore, the statement has
been accredited to prominent o.
R. & N. official that his company pro-
posed to invade this upper country
and would tap the main line at HUI
morist, running the line to Pasco and
thence up the east side of the Col
umbia river into the Okanogan coun-
try. 1t is stated that there are at
least a dozen crews of railroad sur
veyors working along the Columbia
river. from Kennewick and Pasco up
and it is possible that the o. r. &
N. is back of one of these supposedly
unknown surveying parties.
The courts have held that the only
way that railroad company can hold
a railroad right of way is by build
ing on it and it is likely that if the
Great Northern carries out the pres
ent program that some other COM
pany will avail itself of the splendid
route that the Great Northern has
mapped out up the river.
The only consolation that Wenat-
chez can get out of the present pro-
gram of the Great Northern is that
it has been ANNOUNCED that this is
to be the division pss6t for the north
ern trains and that all trains will
leave and arrive at Wenatchee for the
Waterville and northern country.
That the Great Northern will carry
out it's promises to expend at least
. 100000 in this city during the COM
ing year in the building Of a hand
some, modern depot, and in ware
houses and sidetracks, is indicated
from the fact that Great Northern
official was here this week and Sc
cured ordinances regarding the build
! ing restrictions, the plumbing and the
urage of water These will be sent
to st. Paul and the plans for the new
: depot will be made to conform to the
= restrictions.

plenty of store buildings for rent.
Ralston bids fair to be q town of 5000 peo-

About six stores are under construction
