914 WEST It has now been stated upon the authority of Chief Engineer Kendrick that the Northern Pacific railroad will be extended from Grand Coulee, the present western terminus of the Wash ington Central line, to the Columbia river at a pointy near the mouth of the Okanogan river, before snow flies. This is a bid for the transportation of the ores of the rich Okanogan district. The plan calls for the extension of the line at the earliest possi ble moment up the beautiful valley of Okanogan river to Foster creek, and thence up the valley of that stream to Conconully. The distance from Grand Coulee to the mines is about ninety miles, and it is likely that the road will be in operation the entire distance within the next year.
