credit to Oroville and an honor to the
gentleman himself that q citizen of
this place has been named MS one OF
the three to cary out the order That
gentleman Is George J. Gardiner. than

named engineer had charge Of the lC-
cation work OF tie line of he Great
Northern road now in operation
through this county. Mr. Gardiner
expects to go into the field for active
duty about the first of July, and Il will
probably require two seasons to com
plete the survey and make the re-
ports. The land that he will be en-
gagged on is situated north, south and

ANOTHER REPORT.

A dispatch from Wenatchee to the
Spokesman Review, announcing that
force of men employed by Guthrie 4
Co., the well known railroad cOntrac-
tors, had been sent tC Brewster to
commence wOri; on the OroVille-We-
natchee branch, has set the public
agog. and awakened anticipations of
speedy completion or that branch.
However il this be true. the railroad
company is reversing its usual meth
cd of doing business along the most
convenient and economic lines. 1t is
but natural to suppose, and such pro
cedure would be in accordance with
common sense and good business
judgment that when putting down
steel does commence the start Will be
made from Oroville. Here a spur is
already ironed on a grade of which
the branch is continuation. Here is
already assembled vast quantity OF
ties, bridge timbers, telegraph poles
and other material. At this point men
and material can be landed directly
on the line of work, and as the steel is
laid the material can be pushed right
on to the front from the main line. 1t
hardly stands TO reason that when the
railroad officials decide to complete
the OrOville-Won branch they
will go to the unnecessary expense
and trouble of conveying men and ma
terial to Wenatchee and then transfer
ring by boat to Brewster. 1t may be
a new system inaugurated by Presi-
dent Hill, but is such radical change
from his usual method of doing busi-
ness that people will have to be shown
before they will nut much faith in the
Wenatchee report.

Very soon after Captain Fergusons as

that / had never faltered in my positive
belief that the destruction OF the Maine
was from no outside agency, but that IL

that the completion of his labors would

theory of an outside cause for IL. but
on the other hand just the contrary

declaration of war was in the nature OF
a false accusation and it reflected no
