New Stage Line.
The rapidly increasing travel to the O'Kanogan mines has made it necessary to put on a more thoroughly equipped stage line than the present one. To this end a company has been organized with ample capital to back it. Work will be commenced at once on the company's station building. It has been decided to place these stations about twelve miles apart with a large hotel at Grand Coulee and Arlington, so that the traveling public can have the best of accommodations. A fast freight line will also be run in connection with the staging business, carrying freight from Spokane Falls to the mines in three days. The company expect to use about three hundred head of horses in their business and have everything in good running order by the middle of February.
