The Portland daily press., 1872-02-03

The CHARACTER of the Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as a whole, is
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted with
the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR TO
THAT OF ANY OTHER ROAD; but even
if the average price per acre of its land sales should
not be above the lowest average of all the land grants
which is but 1910 on the Kansas Pacific Road still
at this low figure for the $4,000 acres held to redeem
each $4,000 of bonds, there would be surplus of
$170O over the amount of bonds that can be issued
on each mile of the Northern Pacific Railroad
During the present month the Northern Pacific
Railroad will be opened for passengers and freight to-
the Red River Of the North, the eastern boundary
of Dakota Territery-this with the completed road
on the Pacific slope, and the St. Paul and Pacific
branches of 2ss miles, will make nearly 900 miles of
road in operation at the close of this year.

died several days ago from the effects Of violence
alleged to have been inflicted at the hands Of John

ner Young, at the City Hall. Several witnesses
were examined, and the evidence elected went to
show that on the evening before election Michaels,
somewhat under the influence OF liquor, was return

near Tenth avenue, Mackin, who was In o jolly
mood shouted, in a loud voice, 'Jimmy

pushed him under cart, but did not strike him
either before or after falling. Mackin picked him
self up Immediately and went home, and the next
morning found him at the polls voting for his favor
ite candidate. The following night Macktn went
to bed, and was found dead the next morning.
There was no allegation that Michaels in pushing
deceased intended to do him great bodily harm,
and he stOutly denied that he had any such intent.

thieves entered the building 70 Chambers street
and secreted themselves on the top floor. When
the occupants Of the store had left the burglars
forced open the hatchway that led to the lower

81 800, and quantity of sewing silk, estimated at
being worth $500. They remained in the building
with the booty until Saturday morning and then
escaped. The people occupying the upper moor
left the front doors OF the building open and by
this means the thieves got out. Superintendent
Kelso gave orders yesterday to the police In the
Third precinct to hunt up the thieves, and Captain
Irving is also looking after them. porter In the
