TELEGRAPH TO CAMP Nc
 DOWELL.

There is enough wire and insula- tors now lying at the Phenix tele- graph office to build a line from here to Camp McDo@e!l. This work, so much needed in the trans mission of orders from headquarters and to expedite any necessary movement of troops, should be done at oi.ce. It will, since the necessary supplies are on hand, virtually c1st the Government nothing. The poles necessary can easily be procureG from the Gila Valley, and the line be put up, all by soldier labor. and by the time it is completed a soldier at Camp McDowell can be prepared to act as operator at that end of the line. It would prove q great bless ing to the officers and the Post and save its price in horse flesh, HOW use l up in carrying dispatches every yeT.

PHENIX.

The prosperity of a growing con- munity is best judged by the enter prise and success of it's business men. Phenix is making rapid strides toward thriving business center, and its close contiguity to the richest mining districts now de- veloped in the Territ ory. and the near approach of the railroad, point to it as the most available place as base of supplies. Merchants from other parts of the Territory are look ing this way with a view to invest
 mrnt, while our established mer- chants are laying in, or have laid i'll. 'arge stocks of goods to meet the
 rowing demand for all kinds of merchandise. The n"w Te:r.tnrial TO- Id from Yuma to Phenix is but 1SO miles, with light grades and l,tile or no sand, c ossing the Gill river at Burks station. It is but just completed and there has been but little travel over it as yet, though in a short tlme it will be the favored route, as there is an abunI- anca of water at convenient dis tances all along the road, thus plac- ing Phenix in closer communica- ton with California for frcighiing than any other business place in inc Territory furnishing the mining camps of Central Arizona with sup
 pile. A good road from the Peck and Bradshaw districts will secure the trade to Phenix of those thriv- ing camps, while it is the natural source of supply for Humbug dis trict and the fast growing district of Cave Creek. We look to a near and brilliant future for Phcnix.

SONORA RAILROAD.

Plans and surveys for this road have been approved by the Mex ican government. The shortest line between Guaymas and Hermosillo is eighty miles; the route adopted is 100 miles. From HcrmoSillo to the Arizona border is l97 miles total from Guaymas 297. The route taps the fertile and well watered valleys of San Mlrcial, San Miguel, Magdalena and of the Sonora river. The latter valley alone supports thirty-five Touring mills, and ships seven thousand tons of flour annually to Guaymas for southern ports of Mexico. Mir. Schuyler estimates cost of consiruc- ton and equipment at S10,500 per mile. The trade of Southeastern Arizona alone would afford a pay ing business, independently of the mining and agricultural interests of Sonora. The harbor of Gulymas is a perfect one. and deep water is easily reach d by short wharves. The Mexican government has made valuable concessions and given fran chises which in themselves would afford profit on building the road.

RAILROAD OUTLOOK FROM
PORTLAND.

The annual report of VIM. Reid, Esq,
Secretary of the Portland Board of
Trade, presented Tuesday evening. con-
talns the following resume of railroad
operations Oh the upper coast for the
past year and prospects for the future ::
Another year has gone, and still our
prospects OF securing this much desired
connection are rs far off as ever. What
the Northern Pacific will be able to do
or, rather, what Congress will per-
NIT them 10 do, at its next session this
Winter-it is doubtful ut present to
say. The Salt Lake enterprise, equally
with the Winnemucca proposed road,
depend for their existence upon the
Union and Central Pacific Railroad
Companies, who. it is apparent, are not
disposed TO give Oregon the desired
connection until they see that the
Northern Pacific or some other road has
assurance of success. Since the defeat
of the Northern Pacific, in June last,
negotiations have been again opened
with the Central Pacific To ascertain on
what terms they would this year COM
mence the construction of the Winnie
mucca branch. but as yet without sue
cess. We fear that their demands from
the State are greater than its people
seem at present disposed to give. The
Utah Northern Railroad "a narrow
gauge road), now under construction is,
however. speedily but quietly working
its way through Idaho, in the direction
ct Walla Walla; aud. considering the
gentlemen who are at the head of its
affairs, the indications are now almost
certain that it will, within two years,
enter our State, and thereafter be the
first road 10 touch the Columbia river
and the Atlantic States.
Since our last annual meeting the re
have been 35 miles of railroad opened
from Tacoma to Puyallup; 90 miles
from Seattle TO its coal mines at New
castle; IL miles from Tenino TO Olym-
pia-all in Washington Territory--and
there Is now under construction 33
miles of road from Dayton, Oregon, TO
Sheridan and Dallas in Yamhill and
Polk counties. expected 10 be open TO
traffic about the first of October next.
The three last are narrow gauge roads
and 1t is gratifying to know that this
narrow gauge system is being fully APP
preciated In Oregon. where. from the
nature of the country. II can be more
cheaply constructed. secure greater adj
vantages to the State at large. and he
more profitable TO its owners than broad
gauge railroads. These various narrow
gauge roads are owned by our own
people. and will all together with the
proposed road from Corvallis to Yaauina
Bay, when built be of advantage TO the
State aud 10 Portland. which latter CITY
derives great benefit from whatever
reads are constructed. and hence gladly
welcomes all such enterprises. Exper-
fence in other States has shown that
such narrow gauge roads will in time
supercede many of the common high
ways and country roads; in Oregon,
where We have wet winters. and farmers
have to haul wheat fifteen or twenty
miles to market, there is no reason to
doubt but that in the course Of time
such narrow gauge roads will lac uni
