1t is now probable that the narrow
gauge railroad from Ogden to Montana
will be extended through Glendale and
Butte, the two principal ore and bullion
producing districts of the Northwest
Mountains, and on to Puget Sound, via
the famous Bitter Root valley, and thence
along the located line of the Northern
Pacific. This will checkmate the Northern
Pacific company. and reduce its stock to a
purehaseable figure by Gould. The Lava
bed route across Camas Prairie, from Port
Neuf Canyon has been abandoned. Gould
is too good a financier to operate two lines
of road north and northwest of Ogden
when one through the Deer Lodge Pass
may be extended to the Sound. so as to do
all the through business, and most of the
way traffic. The populous countries,
whose commerce has enriched all the ma
tons of the earth, are situated beyond our

Gould is figuring on.-Frontier Mder.

New YORK, Dec. lO.-It is officially an
nounced that the Oregon Railway and
Steam Navigation Company have pur-
chased steel rails. locomotives and equip
ment for 200 miles of standard guage rail-
road, to lie constructed in the eastern por-
ton ofOregon and Washington Territory
during the year 1880. A portion OF the
rails are now on board the ship Orient,
soon to sail fer Portland from Carlinoff.
One hundred miles will be built from the
Dallas up the Columbia river to connect
with the existing Walla Walla railroad.
Fifty miles more would be the extension
of the latter to the Snake river, and the re-
mainder will connect the Texas Jerry, on
Snake river, with the Pearl OF the Palouse
country. 1t is stated that these extensions
and new constructions are made for the
purpose of opening up, In conjunction
with the Northern Pacific. the great grain

OF the Snake river enthusiastically, to the

Perhaps the most ineXcusable piece OF

| Winnipeg Telegram to Chicago Times.
Advices received to-day from the Terri
tories say the situation there is becoming
serious. Indians are coming in in large
numbers to the mounted police stations
and the settlements, demanding food, and
threatening to take it by force. At Prince
Albert number OF Indians made raid
on the cattle of white settlers and carried
them Oft. Capt. Herchmer, of the mount
ed police, with twenty men, arrested three
Of the ringleaders, and was conveying
them to the police barracks at Shoal Lake,
when body of Indians armed with VIM
chester rifles stopped him at the ford. and
threatened to massacre every white in the
district if the prisoners were not released.
Herchmer released them.
At Fort Mcleod twenty-eight hundred
Indians came in, saying they were starry
ing. Provisions are arriving from Fort
Benton, but not in quantity sufficient to
relieve their distress. Buffalo were report
ed going north, but the herds still keep on
the American side, and Canadian Indians
are afraid to cross in pursuit, the Ameri-
can tribes threatening to attack them.
Sitting Bull, with seventy-fve warriors,
is encamped fifty miles southeast of Fort
Walsh. He is very i'll and Respondent.
His followers are all going north to Prince
Albert, raidng stores, settlers houses and
traders wagons on the way. Liable
Martin, the famous missionary, and now
Bishop of st. Paul. has had Il conference
with the police regarding Sitting Bulls re-
turn to the States. Sitting Bull will not
go back unless he receives ample g,,aran-
tee that he will not be punished or sent on
Il strange reservation, and he wants to re-
tain his arms. AS at present situated, he
is harmless; the young warriors have de-
serted him and gone north.
Settlers in Prince Albert county are
drilling. Arms and ammunition have been
received from the d ,minion government
and battalion organized month ago by
Col. Osborne Smith, commander of the
Dominica. forces in the Northwest, now
numbers five hundred men. They are un-

sh army, Capt. Scott. Companies have
also been formed in the outlaying settle
ments. and recruiting for the police is go
ing on actively. Lieut.-Governor Laird is
still in Battleford, but the women and
children have left for Winnipeg. The fur
rade is at complete standstill, owing to

Ii is unfortunate for the country that
Congress should have anything to do with
its monetary affairs. The average Con-
gresham appears to know about as much

yet, they all have an apparent itching to
tamper with the subject. The effort to
enhance the value of silver by '.act of
Congress- which has a relative. fixed and
certain value throughout the commercial
world, was a little too absurd a PROPOSE
ton for anybody, except a Congressional
body, to entertain. If SO or 50 cents
