Whether the initiative, the referen-

FOR many of our teachers to attend

that the teachers are generally poorly

NEW LINE. WILL Be
OPENED SOON
Great Northern's Cherry
Valley Road From
Monroe.

The Cherry Valley line, which the
Great Northern railway is now
building, will be completed and
opened for service within the next
few weeks, according to M. j. Co.'S
tello, assistant traffic manager Of
the road.
1.-The new line running through
Cherry Valley from Monroe, Wash,
to Tolt, Wash, is about 20 miles
long," said Mr.. Costello, land opens
fertile and well settled region
which has great traffic possibilities.
Along the new line there are al
ready large number of dairy farms
and much of the land IS given over
to diversified farming.
at the present time the Great
Northern is ievOting Its attention
to the work of rebuilding the main
line near Wellington, through the
Cascades. Owing to the nature OF
the land, being on a side hill, tie
work of constructing the snowsheds
is necessarily slow. However, this
is but an element of the problem.
The work is being carefully done to
eliminate all possibility of an recur-
renee of the difficulties encountered
last February. When the sheds are
completed the line will be absolute
ly safe.
1.-The territory along the Great
Northern in the grain district of
Eastern Washington is to harvest a
fair CROP said Mr.. Costello. 1T
will be at least 60 per cent, as large
as that of last year, making the to-
tai output between 100000 and
100000 bushels. The fruit crop
in the valleys from which the Great
Northern gets this class of traffic
of course will be very great"
