M. 8. Empreei of India and the Northern Pacific liner Olympla arrived at Victoria from the Orient Wedneaday morning, the former one day late and the latter several day. behind her timet. Iioth had encountered terribly rough weather. The paaaage wag marked throughout by heavy easterly and toutheuaterly wlnda, and. In fact, by galct from nearly every point of the compaaa. There hat been a larger number of vea.elH of thla aeason't lleet to arrive out from thia port than from any other on the entire coaat. The average paa (iHKct were much better than ahlpt from the other porta, those from the Sound averaging 131 dnya, while the grain car ilera from the Bay City reached 125 dnya. Four vessels from Snn Francisco nni' two from the Sound have reported out thlt aoaion. Tony Stevens,' a lad about 14 years of age, In the employ of the A. Dunbar Co., fell overboard Thursday evtning near the Mller dock and probnbly very close to where young Jack Adams foil recently. One of the evening papers aya that In falling he did not strike anything, which sounds rather para doxical, and we might be led to be lieve he was falling yet but for the fact that he waa about yeaterday none the worse for the bad scare and ducking he got. Help waa fortunately at hand and attracted by hla crlea a couple of men ran to his assistance and fished him out. One of the largest crowds that have been In Foard & Stokes hall. outsld3 of Iteeatta, for a long time, filled It to overflowing last night. The occasion was the grand benefit given by the Columbia Orchestra and Astor Club for Harry Twilight. The orchestra was at Its best, and the selections rendered were superbly handled. Should Mr. Twilight derive any portion of the pleas ure from the proceeds that the merry crowd enjoyed In the giving, he will Indeed be fortunate. There were about sevonty-flve couple present bIde num erous visitors, and between $75 and $100 waa cleared. , j- Jlr, to. H.

He had It framed, but It proved too large to be convenient In his cabin, to he disposed of It at stated above. The high water or Thurday night In the Nmanlcum creek had the antici pated effect and at a reu!t the falre work that waa being put In by the con tractors on tn foundation of the upper Neranlcum bridge was washed away. It will probably entail a losi of sev eral bundrtJ doll&rt on the work. Over o million feet of I' r belonglnj to tlit- Kecanletim Bpruc Lumber Corn pan) and C. C.

The Mairhoyle waa the first free ves sel U entr the river since the arrival of the Hiilewood, which srnt some time here before she secured a char ier. The Ulnlrhoyie. was offering fur 4h Tl Thursday, but she apparently did not care to reeat the luck of the Male wood ana accepted a lower offering. Tne present condition of the wheat mar ket has caused shippers to pause be- I fre chartering, unless the rate Is a moderate one.

If the citizens will give such aid and encouragement as the promoters feel the project should re ceive.

Surveys have been completed for a rail way from a point near Port'Clarenc? to Council City, a distance of eighty five miles. The line will tap the richest of the Nome country and will run about thirty-five miles northeast of Nome City The matter has been dis cussed of extending the line from the present proposed terminus of Council City to Nulato. on the Yukon, which would give a main line track of a lit tle over 300 miles. Most of the country through which the proposed extension would pass has not been prospected! but there are many districts en route that are known to contain valuable deposits, and it Is pre sumed that the whole country In time will be worked. Of course. It w ould not be the purpose to build this exten sion during the coming year, but if the plan appears feasible It is not unlikely that a survey will be made. The line from Port Clarence to Coun cil City, however, will be considered during the coming summer and It will be a valuable assistance In the develop ment of that country. It will furnish transportation to many of the rich dis tricts and this is Just as Important a matter In Alaska as It Is In Oregon. ..AN..

Details of the contract which has be?n let for the laying of the Pacific cable give an Idea of the vastness of the undertaking, and yet of Its compara tively small cost. The price agreed upon is 1,795,000, which is consider ably lower than the first estimates of the cost of the work. The tenders of .some ot the firms were for even lower sums, but the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company agreed to finish the laying ot the cable by the end of 1M2. and this proved a determining factor In awarding the contract. For the surri named the company agrees to construct and lay a cable 73S6 miles In length, connecting the fol lowing points: Vancouver, B. C, to Fanning Island, 3561 miles; Fanning island to FIJI, 2093 miles; Fiji to Nor folk Island, 961 miles; Norfolk Island to New Zealand, 537 miles; Norfolk island to Queensland. 834 mllee. TUNNEL TO BE OPENED. ' Jim Hill's Folly." after more than three years' work and the expenditure of $4,000,000, la at last a living fact and the first train will be run through It tomorrow. The Cascade tunnel of the Great Northern extends 13,252 feet under the mountains. Eight hundred men have been working from both ends of the great bore. When they met there was ry MunanlllSz Where Nature Left Defects for the Gods of fashion With one of WISE'S shapely suits of Clothes PAIR Of PANTS - - ZLLu but two Inches difference In the grades the two parties were working on. In its early stages Mr. Hill's plan of piercing the mountains Instead ot crossing them was scoffed at by inves tors and railroad men as visionary and Impracticable, destined to prove ft fail ure or bankrupt the road, or both. But now It Is estimated that the saving in expense over the "switchback" system, will pay 10 per cent on the cost of the tunnel. The tunnel is 24 feet wide, with room for a double track. The roof at one place Is of solid granite 5350 feet thick. The tunnel runs straight from the head of one canyoa to that of another, with a slope ot about 90 feet to the mile. The east portal is at an elevation of 3375 feet, the western about 3125 feet. Thirty-two air drills were used In the excavation, and the rock taken from the tunnel was crushed and used with cement for a lining which la four feet thick throughout Electrio motors will be used to run trains Uirough the tun nel, aud the grade will be lighted by electricity.
