The Northern PACING Capture

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-Henry Viii
lard, Of the Oregon Navigation q Railroad
Company, has sent special dispatch to the
Portland Oregoniaa about Northern Pacific
Railroad matters, in which he says.
All you have said regarding our obtaining
control of the Northern Pacific Is substan-
TALLY true. The fund of Sl2,OO0,0O0 was
made up in January, of which a blind pool
contributed $4,000, 900, the remaining $4,000
600 being provided by loans TO the pool; SO
100000 of this money secured control Of ST
900, 900 of common and preferred stock max
ing an absolute majority. In order TO con-
ciliate existing interests l went to Presi-
dent Billings, told him frankly what y hal

into the combination or sell out to me at
their own prices. He declined to do either.
Thereupon gave him 10 understand that l
would have to make up an absolute majority
against him. He expressed great anxiety TO
come to harmonious understanding with
our interests, saying, among other things,
that we ought TO have an immediate repre-

some Of his directors prepared and printed
statement of our views as to what the re-
lations Of the two companies should be.
This statement was submitted to the North
ern Pacific board last Thursday and a special
committee appointed to consider and make
recommendations upon the relations Of the
two companies. On Friday last, however,the
the adjournment of the full board meeting
and the departure Of most Of the out-of-town
members, Billings called the remaining mem
beers of the executive board secretly together
and prevailed on them to pass resolutions di-
recting the issue Of over SIS, 100000 Of COM
the object being, of course, to maintain Bill
lings and his friends In power. No notice
whatever Of the proposed issue was gwen TO
the other directors, three Of whom have al
ready denounced this proceeding officially as
an outrage, which fact am authorized to
publish. Billings appropriated to himself
$4,000 shares, and his confederates many
thousands more.

says Of Judge Spier's injunction 1t is be-
lieved that part II not all of the 10000 shares
, divided has already appeared in the stock
market and is now mixed up with the $4,000
shares of common stock which had been is
sued before or about which there is no ques-
ton. No other reason can account for the
decline In the market price of the stock on
the news Of the injunction.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The Times this
morning has the following: Willard furnishes
the following list of parties so whom portions
of the $1,000 share Of stock have been issued

143,962 In 1876, valueda at s35l, TOT, to 6,4o2
in 1880, valued at 81, 492, 722, says: i" If Kan.

Kansas Is hot in summer and frequently
warm In winter. Montana's prevailing
climate Is that degree Of GOODNESS
which makes wool on the sleeps back and
not hair, and which refne's the wool genera
ton after generation. Montana is the best
sheep range on this continent. We predict
that the enumeration of her sheep in the
next census will be over ten millions" The
Auditors and Treasurer's report for 1880
shows the number of sheep In Montana to be
249,97s, and there is already complaint by
cattle and horse men of their aggression on

Of this region as favorable to wool growing,

patents for his design in England and
the United States. The specimen
shown is designed to be used on canals
without iniurlng the banks 1t is "a
simple structure, measuring sixty-two
feet long, twenty feet wide, three feet
In depth. and draws seventeen inches

latter operated by af eight horse power
engine. The air is forced down q cen
trail shaft to the bottom, where it is de-
flected, and, being confined between
keels, passes backward and upward,
escaping at the stern through an orifice
nineteen feet wide, so as to form sort
of air wedge between the boat and the
surface of the water. The force with
which the air strikes the water is what
propels it. The boat has a speed of
four miles an hour. but requires q thir-
ty-five horsepower engine to develop
its full capabilities. The patented
claims great advantage in doing away
with the heavy machinery of screws
and side-wheels, and believes that the
contrivance gives full results in pro-
portion to the power employed It is
also contriyed for backing and steering
