Northern Pacific Railroad,

An Illinois exchange mas an article III re-
lation TO the North Pacific Railroad, the
main points of which we reproduce. 1t says
that from Duluth, MINI, at the head Of Lake
Superior, to Seattle, Washington Territory,
on Puget Sound, is LIZA miles. The ground
will probably be broken for the Northern
Pacific Railroad which is to span this dis
ytance between, inside the next eight months
This is the shortest possible link between
the Pacific ocean and the Northern Lakes.
The road was first chartered during the adj
ministration of President Polk, and the or
ioinal projectors were soathsrn politicians
and capitalists in Kentucky, but prior to the
rebellion the franchise passed into Northern
hands. Gov. James Gregory Smith, of Yer
mont, is now the President of the Company.
This road will be built by business men on
business principles, and receives no loan of
Government credit, nor will any bond sub
sidy be asked for, although it has a munid>
cent land grant, consisting of ten alternate
odd-numbered sections, or 1880 acres
per mile through Wisconsin and Minnesota,
and twice that allowance through the terri>
tories. Fifty Million acres of virgin soil,
stretching in belt thirty miles wide from
Lake Superior to tidewater on the Pacific
slope, are embraced by this grant along the
main trunk and its branches. For an hun
dred miles from the Eastern terminus most
of this land is adapted to grain culture, while
through Montana and Idaho there is mineral
wealth and soil adapted to grazing The
Northern Pacific will follow the liue of the
forty-seventh parallel, and pass midway
through Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, the
northern part of Idaho and the centre of
Washington Territory. Although six de-
grees further north, the new road will be
more readily kept free from snow than the
Southern line, and pass through a milder
winter climate. This is easily explained by
the difference in altitude. The Northern
Paoifc will not have along its entire length,
for more than go miles, an elevation of
more than 5000 feet above the sea, while
LOO miles of the present Pacific Road is
more than 1000 feet above the ocean level
The highest point on the recently construct
ed Pacific line is 8,262 feet above tide water;
the highest point on the Northern Pacific
will be less than 1900 feet above the same.
Jay Cooke & Co., will be the Fiscal Agents
of the road and the contract will be formally,
as it is already virtually, closed, so soon as
the survey of the route is completed. Two
parties are to accomplish this starting from
Lake Superior and Puget Sound respectively.
The Fiscal Agents of the Company are re>
presented in each expedition. The prelimi-
nary examination will be completed by the
first of October, it is expected, when, if the
report is favorable. work will be begun at
at once. The road is expected to cost $780,
100000, and cover about. five years in con-
struction. A bureau of immigration will be
opened and work afforded immigrants, as
well as a chance to procure farms along the
line of the new Road.

DEMOCRATIC RECRUIT.-The Oregon City
Enterprise is now edited by D. NJ. McKenny,
and is a straight out democratic paper. We
are pleased to notice that the democracy is
gaining recruits from The stronghold of the
enemy. The Enterprise, uDder D. c. Ire.
land, was about the meanest black.republi>
can paper in the land, and hence the charge
of editors and politics is something for the
democracy to feel jubilant over, Let the
democrats give the Enterprise and other re.
liable democratic newspapers liberal sup
port, ard their success at the next June cleo
ton is assured.

be regarded as center shot for the demo-
craey.

REDUCED PRIcEs-It will be noticed by
their card in another column, that Messrs.
Schwabscher Brothers offer the whole of
their magnificent stock of goods at greatly
reduced prices. Goods are now sold at
Walla Walla at lower prices than at any
other point east of the Mountains, and as a
consequence trade is being attracted here
from all parts Of the country. Parties
who used to go to Umatilla and the Dalles to
make their purchases, now 6ud it to their in
terest to come to Walla WaIla where they
are always sure to 6nd large stocks to select

A HARD HIT.-The Salem Press repub-
fishes Senator Williams speech, delivered in
the U. S. Senate two years since, in which
that geBtleman urged that the Indian reser>
vatiODs be placed under the exclusive control
of the military. The point of this is, that
Williams has just made a hasty trip to
Washington for the purpose of urging the
abandonment of the very policy which on
the floor of the Senate he advocated Pope's
description applies to the Oregon Senator
"Al things by turns, and nothing long"

From KooTENA1.-Mr. II. Hewitt, just down
from Kootenai, reports business in the mines
rather dull. About three hundred men are at
work on Perry Greek. Three claims that are
opened are paying well. Huff & Co., took out
of thei. claim the week previous to Mr.. H. start
ing down s., 300 Other claims were yielding at
the rate of $500 day. A number of men had
in a measure suspended work, waiting for the
completion of shaft when they expect to
thoroughly test the diggngs. The shaft was
down So feet, and it was thought they would
strike the bed rock in two or three days. In
the old camp two or three claims that are owned
by white men are paying we'll. About three
hundred Cinnamon are at work in the old camp,
and judging from the money they expend for
provisions, they are doing well. An Indian who
was caught "crevicing" in a miners claim was
shot and killed, just before our informant left.
The English Gold Commissioner continues to
collect the heavy tax from the miners, and fails
to apply any portion of the same TO opening
roads. As matter of course the miners cons
plain of this injustice. The camp is we'll sup-
piled with full stocks of flour and bacon. But
groceries are in short supply. Flour is selling at
from Sl3 to SIG per hundred Bacon 90 "a 40
cents; Sugar so cents Coffee so "a co cents /;
other articles in proportion. Trains were com,
ing in with fresh stocks, and all the indications
were that the camp would be well supplied.
The general health oe the miners was good, and
no casualties to note, save the killing of the
Indian thief. The country produces plenty of
vegetables, and with several parties engaged in
supplying the camp with fresh milk, the miners
are enabled to fare sumptuously..

The GIFrs.-Scott, the sOdOmite, is like
the man who said the "horse was sixteen
feet high" Having said that the Gifts are
democrats, he sticks to it. We have no
objection 10 the fellow lying if it will do him
any good, and if he wants proof that he is
a liar, we have only to refer him to radical
papers published during the last Presidential
campaign where he will find the Gifts para<
ded as "converts from democracy" At the
time the radical papers had much to say
about old Col. Gift making stump speeches
for Grant, and the younger Gifts were repre-.
sented as following suit. SCOTS democrats
are like Falstaf's men in buckram.

Explicit instructions as to what is to be
