NORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS.
Return Of an Exploring Party from the

TBismark (Dakota) Special, Aug ~
Hon. d. Morrison, John Ross, Gen.
Rosser and party, under military escort,
sent out recently by the Northern Pa
ctic Railroad to inspect their lands for
the first time between the Missouri and
the Yellowstone, returned this afternoon.
They were all surprised, and reported the
country a great deal better than that be-

with the richest pasture, and the whole

with plenty of good coal and considera-

Mr.. Morrison, who will make up a
detailed report to the officers of the
Northern Pacific, will advise tho COM.

they can. President Wright has had

The Big Hole Route.

The editor of the Missoulian last
month made tour of observation
through the Bitter Root valley and the
Big Hole to Bannock, and writes the
following account of the Big Hole pass,
which is evidently good railroad pass
for the Northern Pacific to reach the
Skalkaho from the east:
The road from Bagnock to Missoula
leads up Grasshopper creek and across
low divide into Big Hol,; thence down
Big Hole river to the battle ground and
up Trail creek to the summit of the
Becky mountains, to the grade that has
been constructed this Summer by Jos.
Pardee. The distance from Bannock to
the summit does not exceed fifty seven
miles, making the entire distance from
Bannock to Missoula LAT miles. The
Bitter Root end Of the route has been
described in former issue; the Ban
mock end is natural wagon road to the
battle ground; the road up Grasshop-
per is as level and hard as floor; the
divide from there to Big Hole is very
low, and little drainage to cut off some
springy, soft ground, will make this d.
vide SO easy that a trail need not be
dropped by freighters; the route down
the east side of Big Hole river is on
hand, solid ground. Tho route up
Trail creek from the battle ground to
the summit, seventeen miles, is the only
difficult portion of the Bannock end.
The ascent is very gradual the entire
distance, but the road runs over good
deal Of soft ground. Some $500 have
been expended by the Bannock people
in making grades along this creek. The
road is passable in the dry season; but
it is important that We should have a
road for all seasons.

PORTLAND, Aug 9th, 1878.
To the Editor ofthe Oregoaian:
A stranger from ''ower the border COM
ing direct from the land over which waves
the Union Jack of Old England, where life
and property are held sacred, and the law
is terror to evil.doers, is naturally struck
with the great indifference that is manifes-
ted in this country towards the taking of
human life. What is the cause of it? Is
the United States government unable to
enforce its laws, or are the laws mad
equate? Surely there il screw loose
somewhere. There is certainly no great
inducements for foreigners to become citi-
zens OF a country that is not able to afford
them reasonable amount Of protection :;
or whose laws are framed, apparently, not
with the object of Furnishing the wrong doer
but so as to give him loophole through
which to escape. 1t is a notorious fact
that money, combined with political nllu-
ence, will procure the discharge of almost
any criminal in the civil courts of the Uni.
ted States. or at least an amelioration OF
his sentence. Is this your boosted free
dom? On British soil it is different.
The law is administered with the strictest
impartiality, aud if a man does wrong he
knows what the consequence will be. No
amount of money or influence will have
the slightest weight with the judge, who
is not dependent on any party for his po-
sition, and can therefore mete out justice
to all, without fear or favor. But while
life is held SO cheaply as it is here, and
while murderers are permitted either to es-
cape altogether, or get off with light sen.
tence, just so long will crime be rampant
Such are the impressions aud sentiments
of one who is aud always will be

Choosing a Husband.

A Turkish slave ship was captured
the other day by an English vessel, and
the slaves it contained, consisting of 70
women, and 10 men, were liberated.
The men volunteered into the Egyptian
army, but it was more difficult to dis
pose Of the women. Under the treaty
concluded between the English govern
ment and the khedive, the Importation
and expectation Of slaves are forbidden;
but the detention and sale Of slaves in
the country are permitted for about six
years longer in Egypt and Soudan.
Several officers accordingly came to the
Pasha of the district with offers to buy
some of the female slaves, but the Pasha
declared he would not part with them
unless they got married He then an
nounced that any other soldier or civil
liam wishing to marry one of the slaves
would have to pay six thalers for her
dowry, but that the women would be al
lowed to choose their husband from
among those who should present them
selves for the purpose. A great number
of men, chiefly soldiers, assembled on
the day appointed for the selection. The
women were SO shy that they "huddled
together like flock of sheep" and
could not be induced to move. At last
one of them, taking courage, advanced
slowly to black Egyptian sergeant,
who was anything but young or hand
some, and put her hand on his shoulder
as a sign that he ives the man she wish
ed to marry. Her example was follow
ed by the other women, who rushed for
ward to choose their husbands as if they
feared to be too late. 1t was now the
mems turn to say whether they accepted
the selection. Al! were satisfied but
FIVE, and even the five women who we're
consequently obliged to choose again
were ultimately provided with husbands.
