PROGRESS MADE I ON NORTH BANK RAILS BEING LAID AT BOTH ENDS r-assf nirfr Trains Will Be Put On Sooa to Connect With Roat Lines of Company. It is expeoted II at the North Bank road will be coiiiplotd as far as Lyle by October 15, and that passeDger tiains will be put ou to connect with the boat line at that plaoe as goon as the rails are laid. This is the opinion of A. W. Zimmerman, agent for the North Bank ana regulator line at lbs Datloa, wbo w,-s in Hood River Satur day. Mr. Zimermau mid that track laying has pioeeeded close to The Dalles, and aa being pushed with a big fore. Tbeie are stilt some rock outs to be made the other side ot Lyle, but that will not delay the work, aa tha trpek will be laid around bad plaoea on the old grade, and used aa a temporary track. Fourteen crews are now engaged in running eonstruo tion train between Clltfs aud Pasco, although no regular freight schedule Is yet maintained. The road is beiug ballasted as fast as the rails are laid, aud la ready for business. Track laying will be started at Van couver the flrt ot the month and the grade is finished as far aa Cape Horn, so that trains will be run out of Vau oouver as fast as the track is laid. The road will be double trucked at once as far as the Cape Horn tunnel, and until the road is completed be tween Lyle and the big tunnel, trans fers between these points will be made by boat. It is probable that a free ferty will be put in at The Dalles and at Hood River, to be ran in connec tion with the passenger service, as passenger tratlio at these two plaoes will be worth going after. It is the intention of making the running time two boura between the station opposite The Dalles and Fort- land, in which case the load will get many passengers from tho Oregon side. While tho O. R. & N. is improv ing its road a Brest deal, and will be able to reduoe Its runnina time, yet the Noith Bank will have a much straiehter track and be able to make better time. In the opinion or railroad mon. as the road haa been built with that end la viow from the start. But whether the road la 9nisbed November 15 or May 1, no one who has bad an opportunity to maice a close inspection of the engineering problems whioh have been aooom plisbed will aoouse either oontiaotors or engineers ot loafing or. the job, and the completeness and thorough Deis of the woik is the admiration ot the initiated and tha novioe as well In fact it la probably the only rail load that has been built In this coun try on whioh tha tirade will be abso lutely oomplete when a train schedule Is put In operation over it and wnion will allow of a speed of 60 miles an hour from the start. If Its manage nient sees tit to run trains at that rate, and they say they will. Tbis is amounted for by the faot that on the whole line there Is not a curve or over three decrees: that all projections, either on anide or overhead, that would In any way jeopardize the safe' tv of trains have been removed. In many instances at an expenditure of thousands of dollars not included in the original contract; that there is no made on the line of over 10 feet to the mile (about two inohea to the hundred feet) and that the roadbed is being o instructed with a solidity that will make it an almost petteot grade from the time the rails are laid. Running through Lyle Is a two-mile stretch that will require considerable work In addition to a bridge which is belnu built over the Klickitat river. A mile below tbis is one ot the most expensive bits of oontiruotlon on the line. Here in a distanoa of a mile are four tunnels. They have cost the new road $300,000. exclusive ot the track laving, aud are not finished yet, at' though trains could be run through three of .hem if neoeseaiy. At the west end of the fourth a steam scrap er is at work removing thousands of oubio yards of sand that for many months baffled the enineers and re aulted in the death ot one man and seriously injured tour more. The coiitlsuratiou of the ground is of snob a nature that steamshovels can not be used, owing to the faot that the sand orowds down on the shovel and chokes It and it is new being removed by soraoing off the top and going down to grade gradually. Workmen are at present oonoreling tbis series or tun nels. All tunnels on the new ioad will be ocuoreted with the exception of the one at Cape Horn, which la over 4000 feet long the longeit on the road, the rook in it being of a nature that considered safe without the use of concrete. The tunnels are 10 feet wide by '-$4 feet high and wben finished will be faced with substantial portais. At the east approach to this series ot tunnels is the longest trestle on the road 100 feet over a mile and said by contractors to hate been built to stand a speed strain of CO miles an hour. Opposite Memal oee Island is to be found an uncompleted section ot grade through which runs a culvert 12 feet in diameter, it la tne outlet for a creek which it is expected to use for fliiraina lumber down from a tlm ber belt back from the river. Like all the undercrosslngs and colvorts along the new ioad. it is built ot solid con crete and is one of the permanent pieces ot work, not usually put in on the first construction of a railroad. Directly below this, considerable rook work le alns to be completed, one section of which is still to be blasted out, which will require several months' worK. it la located near bat will be one ot the most epectao nlai po'nts on the mad, huge rocks rearing tnemsieves alongside the grade Inward the rivet, affording sight similar to tbi Pillars of Herou les and consisting of tour instead of two great masses ot stone, ap arently up-ended, below this Is a long UK t lie piles for wbioh it ia evident that there is st 11 mncb wo k. Approach lng Bingen. the grade ia completed The mountain ol rock opposite Mo ster, which was blown Into the river last winter, has received additional attention aince, having been ont away many feet back from the grade to pre vent Ice formations from dropping on It, and present the appearance ol a hug wall hundred ot feet In height, wbioh baa been gone over by stone cutter with a gigantlo cutting tool Along her I said by tha chief engi neer of the road to be the beat fin ished piece of grade on the wbola line of tha new road. Below tbi tha grade I oompleted to tha Wbit Salmon riv er. Tba bridge of the former remains, however, to be bo lit Work was pom. menced on 1; aarly last apring,. bat high water in tba Colombia flooded the exoavatlons for tlx abutments, and It baa not lowered uffloienUy to allow operation to be reeamed.

Tba tunnels are bored, and are now being oonooreted. and aia In about the same stage ot completion as those situated on tbt upper end of tb division near Lyle. At Drano a tree- tie nearly a mile in length I yet to be olsned. Work on it was only com menced recently, and It ia not expeot ed to be finished before oold weather sets In. A bridge over tba Little Wblte Salmon river muat also be built on this section. Fill, small plaoe of rade and gap ct vailous descriptions yet remain to be connected op be tween Drano and tha eaa'ern end ot the Cape Horn tunnel. Below Stev enson and oppoaita (jascada Lioca. there is still considerable unoomplet ed grade. Seven milea above Steven son the bridge over Wind river Is also one of the pieces ot construction thai remains unfinished, it la not believed by contractor that thia long stretch of uncompleted grade from Lyle to Cape Horn oan be finished sufficiently to allow train to be run over It bj November 1st. The unusual width of the grade cf the new road ha been tba cause ot orich speculation by railroad men and others who have wondered why so oi'joh expense was being entailed foi single track road wben a narrowei road would have answered tba pur pose. This is now explained by the fact tbat It waa tbe originl Intention to double-track tba road except on biidgesand In tunnels. This order was afterward modified to double track 20 mile oat of Kennewiok and from Vanoouver to the west and of the Cape Horn tunnel which will be done as soon as the road ia in opera tion. Tbe great expense at which the railroad bas been bout from iienne wick to Portland estimated at $10,. 000,000, is said to be Justified wben It is taken into consideration mat toe Portland & Seattle will virtually be tbe outlet to Portland of both tbe Northern Pacific and Great Northern for all through freight In addition to picking up a big local business from the grain oountry of Eastern Wash ington end point along tna line, which are expeoted to develop lumbar and other Industries,'. and tb level road, whioh ha been built to be oper ated at all seasons of tbe year, avoid ing tbe heavy snow-fall and grade on the mountain division ot tb North ern Pacific. . Floods in the Colombia river have alao been taken Into con sideration, I evidenced by tba faot that the grade ot tha Portland & Seat tie Is plaoed eight feet abova tha high watei of 1894, tba highest ever known. It I as id too. It will be mora econ omical to baul freight for point on the Northern Paoltlo between Portland and Taooma over tba new road than over the monntaln dlviaion of the Northern faot Ho, and tbat It I ax peoted to uie It for tbat purpose when oompleted. By using the Portland A Seattle the Northern Pacific and Great Noitbern through freight for Portland will save a baul of approximately 1 153 mile. It will be shorter, and easier and quicker to baul it over tbi route from Spokane to Taooma than it I over ' the one in use at present from Spokane to Portland. Tbe comparative distanoa over tbe two routes a computed approximate ly by the engineers ot tba Portland & Seattle i a follow: Over Northern Paoltlo. I MUea.

McDonald bas deotded to not build tbe covering over the side plat- foira to bis store, as it met with a good deal of objection, and while theie was a question aa to whether tbe proposed improvement could be celled an awning or a abed, yet be ds oided to not build it. The fire ordinance wa framed to prevent the construction of any mora wooden Duiiding in tne nre limits. to prevent their removal from plaoe to plaoe where tbe danger from fire would be increased ana aiao to pre vent tha enlargement of tba wooden building already within too pre sorlbed district. While tbi has re sulted In hardship to a few, wbo weia o situated tbat they were unable to put up briok or stone holdings, it will result in good to tne city, ana it be already reaolted In tearing down of anoient fire trap and tbe erection of substantial buildings in their stead Tbe oounoll have taken a stand In the matter, and will hold atriotly to tbe ordloarjoe, believing It to be to tba best interest of tba eity. If it ever decides to adopt more lenient measures, tba law will ba obanged ac cordingly.

An adjourned meeting waa held Monday evening to dispoaa of unfin ished business ot the week before, and also some new ma'tets which were brought op. A permit waa granted J. JNicnois to eiect a brick block ou Oak etreet. J. R. Mckelsen we a ranted permis sion to build a shed lu tba rear of hi business property. Ii strict accord- anoa with tha ordinance. An ordlnanoo was introduced to amend tha charter of tha city In the matter ot making street Improve ments. Tha present provision of as sessing property In grading street make tba costs of such Improvement very unequal, in proportion to tha benefits received, and It 1 desired to correct tha same, giving tba connoil authority to pay a put oat of tbe general fund of tba city, lhe orai oanoe passed it flist reading. I he matter of buying a gtavei pit fjr tba oity wa brought up, and tba street committee stated tbat negotia tions were pending with Mrs. Dr. Adama to secure gravel A vary good gravel bed exists on her land weat of dtranabau'a addition, aud it I very oonvenient to all parts of tba city, aa It 1 a down-bill haul ail tna way. While tba land cannot be purchased, it Is thought tbat a psrmlt oan be se oured at a reasonable coat to taka gravei out for a certain period. Tba matter waa left to tbe street commit tee, to make tbe arrangementa, itsuoh oan be done at a reasonable cost. Tb matter ot employing a foreman or special street commissioner for a month or two, putting a gang of men tc work on the streets, wa consid ered. G. D. Woodworth was present, and a be haa bad considerable exper ience bulking roads, and baa made soma of tba best county roads In tha valley, ha waa asked what salary ha wanted for taking charge of tha work. Mr. Woodworth stated tbat ba could not taka tbe job lees than 94 a day. He also stated tbat In his opinion it would ba unwise to tear up tbe street and leave tbem ungraveled after tba rain oommenoed, bat tbat what work oould be dona and finished op In tha next month would ba safe. That grav el should b plaoed on tha road and paoked by travel to some extent be fore tba rain came. Ha suggested that a Rood sized crew of men be se oured If possible, and work tbem steady for a montb. Ha thought that they oould ba seoured In Portland. ream were of a mucn importance a men, and It would ba necessary to se cure a oomplete gang of man and team before commencing any work. Tbera are several pieces ot won that should ba done as soon aa possi ble, and a crew of 15 or 20 men, with team, oould be used to good advan tage. A good foreman oould take oara of a big gang as well a a email one. If only a few men could ba aeoured, tbe mawhal oould look after tbem, but it would be economy to have a foreman for a large gang, who would have nothing else to attend to. as the marshal ha other dutiea whioh re quire hi attention a portion of the time.
