D. C. Corbin Says he is now in Position to talk
Business concerning the C P. R. Connection.
BRIGHTENS UP
Once again the railroad topic becomes a very live subject in Bon
nors Ferry, after being dormant foraeveral months. In fact, so little

people were commencing to doubt that it would ever materialize.
It 8eem8t however, according to the Spokesman-Review, that D. I',
Corbin, the promoter of the enterprise, has been working right along,
and after overcoming many obstacles, is now in a position to build the
line.
Mr* Corbin gave out his first public statement last Wednesday rel
ativo to the matter, in connection with a business proposition to the
people the City of Spokane—that if Spokane would donate the
right-of-way from the eitylimits to the terminal in the city, he would
bring the road into Spokane, and intimated that constiuction would
start in the spring, and that the line could be completed within u year.
It is estimated that the right-of-way in Spokane would cost $100,000,
1111,1 there is little doubt hut that Spokane will jump at this o|.portunity
to secure another transcontinental line, for Mr. Corbin acknowledges
that his line will have a 50-year traffic agreement with the C. F. R.
The new line has dropped the name of the Spokane (V Kootenai and
will he known as the Spokane & International. The company has
incorporated for $4,000,000 and the articles of incorporation were filed
at Olympia on Tuesday. New York capitalists are associated with Mr.
Corbin and the money lias been subscribed. Mr. Corbin's talk has a
business ring and the outlook seems brighter for the building of the

As readers of Ui«* 11 KHALI) are aware, the surveys nave all been made
or the new road, but the publie has never been made acquainted with
the route selected through this immediate locality. A half dozen dif

river, one crossing near the old ferrv landing, and the other at Galena

With the exception of this stupendous bridge proposition, this is said

crossing at the same point is much lower and brings the line through
