COUNT scHoUvALoFF's ADVICE FOLLOWED BY THE
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1878-01-03
The Passes of the Cascades.

We have Just been shown new top
ographical drawings of the country
between Tacoma and Yakima City,
which define q practicable route for
railroad pursuing the following
course: Beginning at point ON the
Puyallup Branch Road, it crosses the
Michele Fork, and following the up
per waters of the Nisqually and Cow
litz, crosses through the Packwood
pass; thence it follows the south fork
of the Tenim (popularly called the
Bumping,) and enters the valley of
the lower Natchez, through which it
passes to the Yakima. The grade
upon no part Of this line will exceed
that Of the Pennsylvania Central road
between Altoona and the summit Of
the Alleghenies, and the alignment
of the Northern Pacific Railroad over
the Cascades would be equal to this
famous Pennsylvania road.
A short distance to the north of
Mt. Tacoma, there are two other
passes which are believed to be equal
in every respect and a little shorter
than the above described route. Be
sides being shorter, these passes offer
the additional advantage of allowing
the whole Of the Puyallup road, from
Tacoma to Wilkeson, to be utilized
in the proposed road across the noun
tains, and if, as reported, they prove
equal in other respects to those which
have heretofore engaged the most at
tention, it seems probable that through
one of them will be located the route
for the coming road.
The trouble is no longer to find
practicable pass, for since the recent
agitation of the question of the early
construction of road across the Cas-
cades, information has been continu-
ally comining in which proves the
fear of encounter;ng serious engineer
ing difficulties to have been a great
bug-bear, and the surveys for the final
location Of the route will be made
only to determine which of several is
the most desirable route.
Active preliminary efforts in the
matter of learning more about the
various routes, etc, are continually
being made, as the weather permits,
and much useful information is being
thus acquired for next years work.

The memorial Of the Legislature of
Washington Territory for military
post at Spokane Falls has been pre-
scented to the Secretary Of War and by
him referred to Gen. Sherman, who
writes: When in Oregon ordered
two companies of the Second Infantry
to be posted at Spokane Falls, and
they are now there. Next spring a
new post is contemplated on the Spo-
kane, higher up at its outlet from
C@ur d Alene lake, covering that
region and fulfilling the object aimed
at by the memorialists.

Mule Artillery.

Out in a certain Western fort some
time ago, Major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effect
lively in fighting with the Indians by
dispensing with gun-carriages and
fastening the cannon upon the backs
of the mules. So he explained his
views to the comandmant and it
was determined to try the expert
ment. a hOWitzer was selected and
strapped upon an ambulance mule
with the muzzle pointed towards the
tail. When they had secured the
gun, and loaded it with ball cartridge,
they led the calm and steadlast mule
out on the bluff, and set up a target
in the middle of the river to practice
at. The mules back was turned to-
wards the target, and he was backed
gently up to the edge of the bluff
The officers stood around in a semi
circle, while the Major went up and
inserted time fuse in the tOuch-hole
of the howitzer. When the fuse was
ready, the Major lit it and retired.
In second or two the hitherto un-
rutfled mule heard the fixing back
there on his back, and it made him
uneasy. He reached his head around
to ascertain what was going on, and
as he did so his body turned and the
howltzer began to sweep around the
horizon. The mule at last became
excited, and curiosity became more
intense, and in second or two he
was standing with his four legs in
bunch, making six revolutions min
ute, and the howitzer threatening
sudden death to every man within
half a mile. The commandment was
observed to climb suddenly up tree;
the lieutenants were seen sliding over
the bluff into the river, as if they
didn't care at all about the high price
of uniforms; the adjutant maze good
time toward the fort; the sergeant
began to throw up breastworks with
his bayonet, and the major rolled over
the ground and groaned. In two or
three minutes there was a puff of
smoke, dull thud, and the mule
Oh. where was he? a solitary jack
ass might have been seen turning sue
cessive back-summersaults over the
bluff, on y to rest at anchor, finally,
with the howitzer, at the bottom of
the river, while the ball went off to-
ward the fort, hit the chimney in the
ma or's quarters, ratified the adobe
bricks down into the parlor, and
frightened the majors wife into con-
vulsions. They do not allude to it
now. No report of the result of the
experiment was ever sent to the War
Department.

Conkling's Allies will Desert him.
The Post tomorrow will say: We
feel authorized to say that Cenkling
will not again be sustained by any Of
the Democrats in the Senate on any
issue he may make with Hayes upon
questions of executive patronage. In
fact, we are personally informed Of
the determination of those Democrats
who sustained him recently to here
after vote to confirm the Presidents
nominations, unless specific cause af-
fecting the interests of the public SER
vice is shown why they should not be
confirmed. This is the deliberate
purpose forced upon the Democrats
by the malevolent designs which Re-
publican politicians have developed
toward the south. This journal says
this course is to be taken in order to
rebuke Blaine, Conkling, Edmunds
and others, who would revive sectional
animosity, and to encourage the Pres
ident and others who array them
selves on the side of southern right to
full citizenship.
