The Northern Pacific.

Gen. Sprague, who was inter-
viewed at Omaha by Herald report
er, said: eve use the Columbia
river as far as ne vigable, which is
about 300 miles, to connect between
She Pacific and Lake divisions. The
Lake division is being built over the
Bitter Root Mountains to q point
being surveyed for. The engineers
are looking for passes. Either Lolo
or Clearwater pass will probably be
adopted. 1t depends upon which is
the easiest and best. It is difficult
and takes time to examine some OF
these points, owing to the growth Of
timber. We shall push eastward
and will have completed 400 miles
by the close Of next season. AftsY
building to the ends we will close up
the gaps along the Columbia. In
three years we hope to have a con-
tinuous line. About 500 miles Of
the eastern part is in operation now
from Lake Superior to the Missouri
river, at Bismarck. We find the
country much richer than had BEEN
reported, as we 60 through il.

gypsum, in King county III exercis-

Seattle. If all that is claimed for
the discovery bs true, it will prove q
valuable thing. 1t is said that this
is the first discovery Of gypsum ever
made on this coast and hence the inn
portance attached to the reputed
ledge near Seattle. Sulphate OF
calcium or lime. is the chemical
name of gypsum, otherwise known
as plaster Of paris. It is white
powder, nearly insoluble in water.
When mixed with q small quantity
of water, so as to'iorm q thin paste
it gradually hardens until it becomes
fixed and solid mass. On account
of this property, it is largely used in
the arts for taking casts and moulds
Of various forms. Almost an infinite
variety Of ornamental work is formed
in plaster of paris. Among sculp-
ters, it is in almost constant use in
taking casts for models from which
to work.

Joseph Kountz, butcher, at 967 Mission

shooting himself, the ball penetrating his
left breast. Difficulty in money matters is
assigned as the cause of the act.
Rountree d Mcclure, grocers, have
ordered their agent at Reno to supply the

there will be a meeting of merchants to
organize relief movements.
The Board Of Supervisors have asked a
written opinion from the City and County
Attorney as to the question Of preventing
the representation Of the passion Play"
at the Grand Opera House this evening.
Its promised production has excited much

q number Of presentations to President
Hoge and other officers, and the usual
complimentary resolutions and speeches,

w. j. Hesthal, the well-known necktie
manufacturer, in attempting to get on a
car Of the Market street line, fell under

LET IT BE
From the Enterprise.
Our counsel would be to the people to 80
completely ignore the Chinese that their
stay will be impossible. If they are not
given work, they will have to leave Nevada,
at least, for there is nothing here that they
can do unless white men employ them.
By next winter a better and stronger bill
than the present one can be passed, with
strength enough to make it a law despite a
veto.
HE KNEW H MAN.
From the Gold Hill News.
In view of the erratic and unsatisfactor
policy Of President Hayes, as thus far de-
veloped during his administration, this
veto need not surprise any one. His
Chinese policy is ON a par with his South
ern policy. He has no backbone, or at
least but a weak one, and his Judgment is
no better than his discretion.
coNTEMPTIBLE MESSAGE.
From the Virginia Enterprise.
There are very few Pacific Coast men
who will not read with indignation, and
with almost contempt, the veto message of
President Hayes. 1t is simply one of
Evart's specious arguments, and the fiat
test one that has ever emanated from him.
