THE CASCADE RECORD Published in the Interests of the Boundary and Christina Lake Mining Districts * Vol. II. CASCADE, B. C, MAY 5, 1900. No. 26. THE PREMIER IN CASCADE In Company with the Minister of Mines He Pleads His Case. ATTENTIVE, INTELLINOENT AUDIENCE Qives the Candidates a Respectful Hearing and with Rare Exceptions Unanimous Endor- latlon���Dine at Laurel Ridge. railway scheme, and declared bis THE STRAWBERRY. intention of destroying railway |M| C(|t|vi||o| ^^Made Profitable la Pursuant to previous announcement, Hon. Joseph Martin, accompanied by the Minister of Mines, Hon. Smith Curtis, arrived here on the noon train Wednesday. Immediately on their arrival, they were escorted to Laurel Ridge, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. K. Stocker, where a most excellent luncheon was hurridly partaken of, as the campaigners were scheduled for appearance in Grand Forks in the evening. A large number of the citizens of Cascade were present at the station to greet the distinguished candidates on their arrival. After luncheon the party repaired to Montana hall where many voters were anxiously awaiting the appearance of the speakers. It had been intended that Mr. Stanley Mayall should preside at the meeting and introduce the candidates, but that gentleman, having returned on the same train from Rossland with the speakers, had been unavoidably detained at his home, and the visitors being exceedingly anxious to hasten the proceedings owing to their limited time, Judge Rochussen was called to preside, which he did in a very acceptable manner. Hon. Mr. Martin was the first speaker. In a complete refutation of the misrepresentations of the opposition pies* and politicians, and an exhaustive explanation of the policy of the government, the Premier, who was cordially received, first dealt with the redistribution matter. He stated his attitude on that issue had been in support of it until he discovered duplicity in relation to it on the part of his colleague.', and it wus to he made a political plaything to avoid defeat. Continuing he dwelt upon the dangers of the Mongolian invasion, aud resented the action of the Dominion government iu in- ,�� fringing upon provincial rights by disallowing legislation affecting Chinese and Japanese labor. Several of his references to the course of the Laurier government in yielding lo the requests of the Imperial authorities on this question were warmly applauded. Mr. Martin also explained his Coast-to-Midway monopoly here as he had done in Manitoba. Concluding, he maintained the provincial assembly had the right to charter a railway to tho Boundary line. He said Jim Hill was willing and had been invited hy the government to invade the Boundary district. Hon. Smith Curtis followed Mr. Martin, and delivered an instructive and winning speach, in which he must have convinced his hearers that he was sincere iii all he said, and meant to do his very best, if elected, to aid in giving the people a stable, honorable and progressive government. He enlarged upon the subject of appropriations for the building of roads, trails and bridges for the benefit of pioneer settlers, and if he was elected, bis department of the government, would not be administered in the interest of a few favorites, and road building would not be done in odd patches 10 pacify the clamor of one individual, hut it would be complete and thorough where undertaken. His remarks were heartily approved. Only one little incident cccured at the meeting to excite special comment. Mr. John Simpson, tbe Principle of the Cascade Public school, interrogated Mr. Martin relative to the laws forbidding gambling, and inquired why he did not show more of a desire to enforce the laws. Mr. Martin, supposing the question to have been propounded by an opponent for the purpose of entangling him in a difficulty which would tend to his disadvantage and result in no good to any one, gave Mr. Simpson a short and unsatisfactory answer, which resulted in a further demand 011 the part of the latter. The speaker replied in a very displeasing manner to Mr. Simpson, and not altogether satisfactory to the audience, though the retort caused some merriment, whereat Mr. Simpson threatened to nip Mr. Martin's political aspirations in the hud hy voting against A MAY-DAY DEATH SCENE this Vicinity. Cascade townsite, where it is not occupied, is one mass of wild strawberry plants, and these are not confined to the city alone, but the broad fields over are covered with ihe white blossoms.which have been in bloom for the past few weeks, adding beauty to the enchanting scene of revivified Nature. Down in the Cascade mountains in Oregon, on the 0. II. & N. Co's line, is a flourishing little town named Hood River. It is a strawberry town; it is noted all over the United States for the wonderful strawberry products of its vicinity, the annual output amounting to from $40,000 to $50,000. The town is prosperous and growing steadily and rapidly, the contiguous lands being almost wholly devoted to the cultivation, of the strawberry,which is really its only resource. Where wild fruts and berries thrive without irrigation or cultivation,certainly the domestic varieties would prosper much more abundantly under thut sort of assistance. There is no question but thut strawberry culture could be developed into a moot profitable indiiMiy and be the means of bringing prosperity and wealth to this ci'ininuiiilv. Two Hundred Men Suffer Sudden Death in a Utah Coal Mine. The British Columbia Synod bas been in Session in Nelson this week. Britian's troubles in South Africa are costing her about $10,000,000 per week. Throughout the labor field of the eastern states there are strikes and rumors of strikes, in which hundreds of thousands of mechanics arc involved. The vaunted prosperity of the Hanna-McKinley syndicate seems to be enjoyed only hy the hunks end trusts in whose interests McKinley was made chief dispenser of special privileges.

ONLY 137 BODIES RECOVERED SO FAR Schofleld was the Scene of the Appalling Disaster���The Men Choked by Fire Damp and Burned to Death. The English language cannot describe the appalling disaster which occurred at Schotield, Utah, at 10:25 a. m. May 1, by an explosion in mine No. 4 of the Pleasant Valley Coal company, and by which nearly 200 men und upwards lost their lives. Nearly that number of bodies have been recovered and the work of icscue is proceeding, and will continue until all the bodies are brought to the surface. There were 250 men at work ii> the two mines, Nos. 1 and 4. The explosion is supposed to have occurred in No. 4 and extended hy a, connection to No. 1. The men in No. 1 were choked. Tnose in No. 4 were burned and crushed. The cause of the explosion is attributed to the- blowing up of a number of kegs of blasting powder. The scene at the- mine beggars description. The- work of rescue is going on anil everything possible is being done to- relieve the suffering and ascertain the number of dead. The theory is that the explosion occurred hy powder being currieiK into the mine by the workmen. The work of reseuo was delayed-' by after-damp, the dead being piled up in heaps, indicating that they hail prepared for death from dump,, which they knew was inevitable. Great Powers Becoming Anarchists. It is generally charged thut only Grits and the working clusses, irr Ciinada, and Democrats and labor organizations iu the United States,, develop h 1111 schists. In the Wetland canal affair, wherein it it churgtd thut this gang bus been op- eruiingtis the hirelings of capitalists to cripple the Wetland canal in order to divert the traffic of the upper lakes from Montreal to Buffalo,. il looks different. It is a known fuel that in the great railroad strike- a few years ago, the railway companies centering in Chicago destroyed their own property, charged the crime on the strikers, turned public sentiment in their favor by so doing, aud collected damages amounting to two or three times the extent of their losses from the State of Illinois Anarchists do not always come from the ranks of labor. ���ssaaass saocm 2 THE CASCADE RECORD ;-'?

Some persons in British Columbia appear to hold the opinion that those who advocate the government ownership of railways are advocating a new and revolutionary scheme, that has scarcely ever been tried in any country in the world. Such persons, however, hold an entirely erroneous opinion on this question, as, in many of the civilized countries of the world at the present time, the government ownership of railways exists. Among the great colonies of the British Empire, Canada is the only one in which tbe people do not strongly believe in owning their own railways. All the railways of Victoria, Australia, which have a total length of 3129 miles, belong to the government. In New South Wales the government ownes 2707 miles of railways, and will probably acquire all the railways iu the colony in time. In Queensland all the railways are owned by the government, and they have a total length of 2742 miles. In South Australia the government does not own all the railways, but it owns 1742 miles of them, which is a large percentage of the total mileage. The people of Australia are not alone, however, among British colonists, in their belief in the government ownership of railways. In New Zealand the government owns more than 2000 miles of railways. The government of Natal owns 524 miles of railways, and the government of Cape Colony about 2000 miles. In India also the government owns railways to a large extent. It will thus he seun that, among all the large colonies and dependencies of the British Empire, Canada alone has failed to build and own its railways to any great extent. At least, the Canadian people fail to own their own railways to any great extent. It cannot be truthfully said, however that the people of Canada have not built them, as they have heen built to a large extent by money taken out of the public treasury, and have then been handed to corporations as gifts. The British Empire is, however, not the only part of the world in which railways are owned by the governments. In Germany the government owns more than 25,000 miles of railways out of a total of less than 29,000 miles. For some of these railways the German government had to pay far more than their real value, us they bad to pay for watered stock, which had heen raised by artificial means to a high market value. Notwithstanding this fact, the government annually obtains a large -income from the railways after paying all expenses. The French government has taken steps by which the railways of that country will in time become the property of the nation. The railways of Russia, Austria, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Chili, Peru and a number of other countries, belong either wholly or in part to the governments of the countries mentioned. It is absurd, therefore, for some of the opponents of government ownership of railways in this province, to speak of the scheme as visionary and unworthy of the attention of practical men. John Simpson. TOWN AND BOUNDARY NOTES. J. W.Stewart and Patrick Welch have been in Greenwood this week with a view to securing a contract on the construction work of the Phoenix-Greenwood tramway. A. 6. Pemberton has resigned the office of Sheriff of Yale, and his successor is Mr. C. Tunstall, of Kamloops. Mr. Pemberton has for many years filled this position with much acceptance to the public. Ernest Bunting, as evidence of his piscatorial achievements the other day. handed into the Record office a nice lot of white fish caught in the Kettle River, intimating that the editor needed brain food. Dr. W. Lambert, of Grand Forks, was a visitor in Cascade Monday evening and Tuesday morning. He viewed the construction works of the Cascade Water Power and Light Co., and expressed himself as surprised at the immense magnitude of the same. Mr. and Mrs T. R. Wilson, from Waitsburg, Wash., are visiting with ihe familips of Messrs Bell and Duncan in Bossburg, proprietors of the stage line between that town and Cascade. Mrs Wilson is a sister of Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Duncan. They expect to locate in that vicinity. The regular passenger train on the Columbia & Western branch of the C. P. R., running through Cascade, is now composed of three coaches instead of two, as formerly. As they appear to be well filled with passengers, it is fair to presume that the travel to and from the Boundary is increasing. Cascade Public School. The following murks show the relative standing of the pupils of the Cascade school for the month of April: Third class: Jennie McRae, 092; Jessie Hyde, 665; Ralph Wolverton, 623; Robert Thompson, 617; Willie Walling, 580.

Joseph McCoy Receives a call Irom the Presbytery of Vernon, B. C. A meeting of the Presbytery of Kamloops was held in the Presbyterian church here, yesterday afternoon, to consider tbe call tendered by the Vernon congregation to Rev. Joseph McCoy, M. A. Messrs J. E. Matheson and J. A. McKelvie appeared us commissioners from the congregation to press the call, which wus sustained by the Presbytery, and Wednesday evening, May 23rd, was fixed provisionally as the date of induction. Rev. Mr. Hardy was appointed a commissioner to the General Assembly.���Vernon News. NOTE AND COMMENT. British Columbia newspapers making a persona! fight against Hon. Joseph Martin, judging from the flimsy pretexts raised against his government railway plank, may not unjustly be accused of being "spellbound" by the C. P. R. hypnotists, for surely many of them reveal tbe cloven foot. The colonist, for instance, cites the Intercolonial railway as an example of the result of government ownership, and apologizes for doing so by saying: "The Intercolonial was not built as a speculation, nor for the purpose of giving the public lower freight rates than they could otherwise enjoy, but because Nova Scotia and New Brunswick flatly declined to enter the Union unlesb this line was built." As a matter af fact, opposition to the plank referred to is mainly hy private railway corporations already iu existence, who fear the beneficial effect it would have for ihu people were it con- struceil as contemplated, and mire greatly dread the precedent it would establish. The most powerful mo- liopoiy (onibinttlions in the province are arrayed against Martin, and it will be a hug, s< rrowi'n! day for tbe common people, if they uie beguiled into casting their votes for the big cinch games of the kid- gloved gentry.

Sandon, B. C, destroyed by fii�� May 3d. Estimated loss,$1,000,000. Since Julyl, 1898,the Philippine vinr has caused the loss of 2,256 lives, beside the seed it has sown for disease and fulure deaths. We understand there is a movement on foot in New York City, looking toward organization and capitalization of a Burnt Basin mining property, and that the proposition is already, well advanced. We shall shortly be at liberty to give full particulars. Frank Fletcher, C. P. R. Land Agent at Nelson, has been nominated by the conservatives to represent that riding in the local legislature. This demonstrates where the conservative party in that section of the country stands, and also *bows where the C. P. R is looking ���for useful friends to place in the (legislature. That old grannie publication down by the sad sea waves, the Colonirt, should be superannuated. It says the government ownership of railways idea is a vagary! We suggest that it give Mr. John Simp- ton's article on the third page of this issue a careful perusal, if the Colonist can refute the statements therein made, its assertion that government ownership of railways is a vagary, might have some weight. The anti-Martin newspaper scrib- . biers are trying to make capital for their employers by charging that Martin says the eight-hour law is a dead issue. That issue is settled so fur as the country is immediately concerned, hut should the forces opposing Martin get into power, they will open the old sore hy repealing the law. This would be unfortunate for the country, and voters should keep this point in mind. The business of the whole province would suffer greatly if this troublesome question is re-opened. James Dyke, formerly a pioneer citizen of Cascade, but for the past three years a resident of Republic, Wash., was making a call on his oil-time acquaintances here a few days this week, having come in on a bike. When he left here there were but two or three buildings in town, and he was surprised to find so large a place as this has grown to be. Speaking of the incorporation election to be held next Tuesday, in his town, he said the opposition to incorporation of the city was quite formidable and would probably defeat the proposition. Mr. Smith Curtis enjoys the endorsement of all the Liberal clubs and Labor organizations in this, his, riding, und his chances for being successful in the coming election are very promising. The Dominion government will act wisely to go slow with its pro- pauper labor policy. British Columbia labor organizations should touch up their co-workers in the east on this proposition. BRIEF LOCAL MENTION. Mr. Scott, the barbar, with his family and business, have moved across the street near the Roma Hotel. G. J. Simmons dropped a chisel on his left foot the fore part of the week and has since been walking with a limp. Mrs Chas. Kinney, formerly a resident of this place, and still a property holder here, has been a guest of Mrs. G. K. Stocker this week. Joseph Tiefenthaer wus in town from Republic to-day. He owns mining properties in that place, Curlew, and Deadman's Creek. Al. Peone, *>f Rossland, begun assessment work this week on his group of claims, the Alphonse, Broken Hill, Ski, Nancy Hunks and others, on Shamrock mountain. Sam Handy took up a pm-k train of supplies Monday. Admiral Dewey, ut Chicago's grout ball given in his honor, said he was not a Briton-huter. "The one man who stood at my back during those trying days was an Englishman," said Dewey, speaking of the Manila bay affair. Mr. D. D. Ferguson has received word from Rev. Mr. McCoy, who has been in correspondence with Rev. Mr. Gandier, to the effect that the Presbyterian pulpit will be supplied in the person of Mr. K. W. Barton, of Knox College, Toronto. It was expected that Mr. Knox would arrive here to-day. The warm weather of the past! week has had the effect to melt the snow in the mountains, which has resulted in high water in the Kettle river, In fact work on the big tunnel under the railroad here had to he suspended yesterday, until the water recedes. Lust Sunday a number of Cus- cade's citizens enjoyed a trip up Christina lake on the Myrtle B., and all reported having had nn exceedingly pleasant time. Among the events of the occasion most talked of was the catching of a species of inland seuserpent by Wm. Milne. Mr. Thomas Parker, secretary of Central Liberal club of this riding, with headquarters at Rossland, has heen appointed returning officer for the riding. He was in Cascade Thursday, on a tour through the Boundary, for the purpose of securing polling places and appointing deputy election officers. Mr. F. Gribi, of the Cascade meat market, considering the many obstacles he is forced lo contend with, is deserving not only of commendation, but of all the local patronage. He experiences great difficulty in the matter of getting his supply promptly, much of which oweing to light, patronage, he is often compelled to lose. His meats must be shipped in by express, the Dominion Express Co's rates being ex cessively high, his profits are reduced. Then again, with a single exception, perhaps, the largest meat consumers, having no interest in the town, go outside to buy, thereby possibly saving a few cents. Let us patronize home industry and keep the town moving. J. W. Stewart, of the C. P. R. Contracting department, and well known here, was a passenger on the west bound train Tuesday. He wus gi-ing up the road to look after mining interests. Summit City, in Summit camp, had a narrow escape from a terrific explosion hy the near approach of a brush fire to powder and dynamite magazines of the B. C. mine, the other day. Who Lost the Watch. Found���a watch; on the road between Cascade and English Point. Owner can recover the same by applying to the Postmaster at English Point and paying for this notice. A prominent party of railroad officials were in Greenwood the other day. The party included W. Cross, of Winnipeg, master mechanic of the Canadian Pacific; F. E. Hohbs, of Revelstoke, master mechanic of the Pacific division; R. Mee, traveling engineer for the Pacific division with head quarters at Vancouver, and J. T. Lawrence, train master of the Columbia & Western. In the morning they were shown over the smelter by Superintendent Paul Johnson, and expressed themselves as delighted with what they saw. H. 1). Wil- uress, who has heen in charge of the C. P. H. land department ut Greenwood, has gone to Neison, where he is slated for a higher position. His successor for the Boundary has not yet heen appointed by the land commissioner. Phoenix was startled early Thursday morning by an explosion of 75 pounds of dynamite, in a small log building about 400 feet from No. 1 old shaft house on the Old Ironsides. Frank Clengrener,standing 20 feet away, was seriously hurt. MINERAL ACT. Certificate of Improvements. "Wren" and "Rlx" Mineral Claims <situat�� in the Grand Forks mining division of Yale district.

The shingle trust, composed of nearly 300 shingle mills in western Washington, has been broken by the refusal of the big mills to continue shut down. All mills will accordingly resume business at once. Prices have slumped 10 to 15 per cent per 1000. It is believed that eastern dealers have been standing together in their determination not to buy from the trusts at prevailing increased prices. The Imperial government has decided to give 24 out of the 44 commissions to lie granted to Canadians in the regular army to officers and non-commissioned officers serving in South Africa. Six com missions will be given to Canadian gentlemen who, with the fourteen which have been given to the royal military college, Kingston, will make 44 in all. Lord Roberts will send the names of the 24 of these in South Africa whom he recommend!1 as candidates for commissions. The report <>f the Ontario minister of education for the year 1899 shows that .there are 5,587 public schools in Ontario, an increase of thirteen over last year, and 345 separate schools, an increase of five. The salaries of public school teachers are decreasing. The average salary last year was #321, and for 1898,1324. The profession is being monopolized hy women to a large extent. Last year of 8,000 teachers, 5,800 were women, an increase of 123, and 2,056 were men, ii decrease of 36. At the late tearhers' conven tion in Toronto, Hon. Mr. Har- court intimated that the age limit for candidates for the profession would he raised. The imperial state crown of England contains one large ruby, one large sapphire, 16 sapphires, 11 emeralds, 4 rubies, 1363 brilliant diamonds, 4 dropshaped pearls and 273 pearls of other form. The crown was made by a firm of London jewelers in a large degree frooi the jewels of old crowns. A Major Hook of the East India Company service, in London was entitled by the Will of a relative to an annuity of ��400 a year until his wife was buried. To fulfill the terms of this important document, after death he caused her hotly to be embalmed, sealed up in a glass .case and placed in the upper chamber of bis house, where it ;remvain.ed for thirty yeirs, but no person was ever permitted to enter the .room where it lay. Following is a list of some of the heaviest losses by the recent Hull- Ottawa-fire: Booth Lumber Company, $2,000,000. The Eddy Paper Company, $1,500,000. The McKay Milling Company, $500,000. Hull Lumber Company, $500,000. The Cordite Company, $250,000. Pub- lic/buildinge in Hull, $250,000. Quoting railway dividends as ev- idences of prosperity is adding in- sult'to injury.

The abolition of the $200 deposit for candidates for Ihe Legislature. 2. The bringing into force, as st'on as arrangements can be completed, of the Torrens Registry ��y stein. 3. The Redistribution of the constituencies on the basis of population, allowing to sparsely populated districts a pioportionhtcly larger representation than to populous districts and cities. 4. The enactment of an accurate system of Government scaling of logs, and its rigid enforcement. 5. The re-enactment of the dis. allowed Labor Regulation Act, 1898, and also all the statutes of 1899. containing anti-Mongolian clauses if disallowed as proposed by the Dominion Government' 6. To take a firm stand in every other possible way with a view of discouraging the i-pread of Oriental cheap labor in this Province. 7. To provide for official inspection of all buildings, machinery and works, with a view to compelling the adoption of proper safeguards to life and health. 8. With regard to the Eight- hour Law the Government will continue to enforce the law a�� it stands. An immediate inquiry will be made by the Minister of Mines into all grievances put forward in connection with its operation, with a view of bringing about an amicable settlement. If no settlement is reached the principle of the referendum will be applied and a vote taken at the general election as to whether the law shall lie re- repealed. If the law is sustained by the vote it. will be retained upon the statute book with its penalty clause.

IS THE OTTAWA GOVERNMENT AWARE Oi the Consequences of Its "Disallowance" Action? Kaslo, B. C, April 28.���Premier Martin sprang a mild sensation at his meeting here last night. Discussing the recent disallowance of legislation pa ��ed l>y the Semlin government 1899 to restrict Oriental imi ration, he noted thai the liqtio. nse act had been disallowed at Ottawa, because it provided that no license to sell liquor should he given to any Jap or Chinaman. "By this disallowance," said Martin, "all our affairs are thrown into most absolute confusion. By th.nt action there are no liquor licences in this province outside of city municipalities. Every person who is selling liquor in unincorporated localities under* the proper form issued by the province is liable to a fine under the old laws, which are revived, because he has really got. no license; and there is no way of giving the owners of hotels throughout the province any protection whatever until the legislature meets on Julv 5. The new Spokane Train Schedule. Trains will arrive at 10:10 in the morning, bringing passengers from both the east and west. The train arriving at 5 p. m. will give fast service from the east. The morning train will leave the city at 8:10, making connections with both the east and west. The afternoon train will leave at 3:40 for both east and west. The Coeur d'Alene train will leave at 3:40 p. m., and returning will arrive at 5 p. m. The new time card for the Spo- jkane Falls & Northern railway, j which went into effect Monday morning is out. The train will leave Spokane at 10:20 in the morning, instead of the former time8:15, arriving at Nelson at 7:35 p. tn. and at Rossland at 5:15 p.m. Returning it will leave Nelson at9:15, Rossland at 11:45, and arrive in Spokane at 6:30 in the evening, 15 minutes later. Political References. An Eastern Oregon Sheep Story. The Bossburg Journal says the report is current that several nun. dred tons of freight is billed via Bossburg to Boundary,. district camps and Republic. Coffin Bros, report an increase of 156 per cent from a small band of 172 ewes, says theGoldendale(Ore) j Sentinel. The original number was 172 Out of this number there were 86 pairs of twins, and three sets of triplets, making the total number of lambs 262. j Keep your eye on Cascade. The labor organizations of Vancouver have expressed their approval of Premier Martin's platform. The rabid partizans of Phoenix no longer have reason to complain of its non-partizan local paper, the Pioneer. Last week, in its editorial columns, it actually inserted a question mark in parenthasis���showing that while saying one thing it meant another. The most serious matter to contemplate in thic campaign is the undeniable fact that if Mr. Martin is defeated, a pro-railroad, pro-Chinese and Japanese conbination will be placed in power, and a long and disastrous labor war will distract the country. If the Mcintosh platform means anything, it promises to submit to all the demands of monopoly combination. Martin, with all the antagonism he can inject into the situation, could bring no more discomforture upon the country than will come to it through the political schemers seeking his defeat, if given the reins of government. Many a man makes a mistake hy going around telling his troubles when lie ought to be advertising his business. LUMBER WILL 00 UP. Ottawa-Hull Fire Will Have That Effect on the Market, New York. April 28. ��� Lewis Anell, president of the Export Lumber Company, of New York, Boston and Ottawa, which company had a million dollars worth of its lumber burned in the Ottawa fire, was interviewed as follows: "The destruction of the large amount of white pine lumber-at Ottawa, which is reported as amounting to from 150,000,000 to 200,000,- 000 feet, together with loss of mill capacity of between 200,000,000 and 250,000,000 feet per annum will have a greater effect upon the white pine and spruce lumber markets than it would have at any other period within the past ten years. Not only does it take out of the market for the next twelve months over 400,000,000 feet of lumber, principally white pine, but it does this at a time when the demand was increasing altogether out of proportion to the available supply." The passenger trains on the Spo-/ kane Falls & Northern now meet at Meyers Falls. A dining car has been placed on the train, thus entirely doing away with eating stations and making a saving of 30 minutes on the run between Spokane and Northport. tw* ��� ���
