In a recent letter L. M. Hidden says:
''The boys that came up here with me are all
here except Pincus, he having left about 10
days ago. Ginder is going back to Vancou-
yer, and Mckinney, Garten, Tucker and P.
Hoffman are going up to work on the N. P.
r. R. All are well. The grading is going
at the rate of one mile a day. r. M. Steel
arrived here week ago. Forty more men
came up recently, and another new camp
will be started in few days. making five
altogether. The heaviest work is from a
mile below this camp to the summit, which
will be 5 miles towards Colfax. The sum-
nit cut has $4,000 yards in it. l have fin
ished one cut and fill of 10000 yards, and
have started another fill, the lower slope of
which is 40 feet. After the summit is
reached the grade will be light. We are
camped at station S65 from Texas Ferry.
James Crawford is doing well, and if he
sticks to business l think he will make his
way all right; but some of the rest l am
disappointed in. The country around here
as far as have seen does not suit me. 1
have conversed with good many old set
tiers here, and they all say the country is
frosty and a great deal of poor land. One
side of these hills is gravely and poor, the
other side will be good land. All our wood
comes from Texas Ferry, and there is no
wood nearer than II miles. The country is
nearly all alike, very billy, and the dust
flies some days so that one can hardly see.
1t will take 10 acres of land here to pasture
one COW. A good many places will be too
frosty for wheat. After two or three plow
ings the ground is all alkali, and looks like
-four. 1t can be scrapcd out or 7 feet
deep. We have not lost but six hours on
account of rain since we came up here. All
the rocky points are full of lattle snakes.
Eight per cent. of all the cattle are dead,
but what are left begin to look first-rate.
A good many horses have died, and out of
l40 horses in this camp 40 have died, and a
good many more are sick. To-day is pay
day, and the boys are all in good spirits.
The company has a store, and it furnishes
the supplies for the other four camps Oats
is II cents per pound, potatoes, 25 cts. per
bushel, hay, S25 per ton, butter, 30 cents
per pound, eggs, Is cents per dozen. Our
mail we get by subscription, and have only
had three copies of your paper, and it goes
the rounds. Please excuse my pencil and
the way l have put this together, for have
written it in the store at odd spells as l
could catch it in the sand and dirt. The
goods are all sand"

1t is now settled that the entire
northwest must become the tail to
Portland's kite, and the people had
better gracefully accept the situa-
ton, making the most they can of it.
The final settlement of differences be-
tween the n. P. Co. and the Willard
combination has been made. Willard
buys the stock of President Billings
and his friends, and consents to a dis
continuance of suits against the COM
pany relative to its present issue of
1900 shares of common stock. In
consideration of these things Willard
is given control of the road. Resolu-
tions have been adopted providing for
an extension of the road from Kalama
to Portland, and on the Tacoma branch
from Snake river to Tacoma. In a
dispatch to the OregOnian Mr.. Willard
''deems it proper to give to the public
of Washington Territory the formal
assurance that every obligation i'm
posed upon the company by act of
congress will be strictly recognized,
and especially that the Cascade branch
will be built without fall"
Thus far this season, as many cases
of salmon have been put up on the
Sacramento river as were put up in
all of 1880. The reason assigned for
the extraordinary run there this year
is that propagation pays. The Asto.
RAN of Saturday says: "The salmon
fishing season is nearly half gone to-
day, and yet there are but very few
fish in sight. None of the canneries,
not one, has worked to its full capa-
city, nor half its capacity, day yet"
California spends large sums of money
in propagating salmon, to keep up the
supply. Oregon fishermen have just
let the Clackamas fish hatchery die
out, the only thing that can possibly
keep up the fish supply. SThe result
will soon be more apparent than it is
this season, unless all theory he at
fault.

skilled engineers, machinists, workers
in wood, stone or iron, they become
poor preachers, third rate lawyers or
dangerous quacks; instead of being
producers, they become consumers; in

A horse at Farribault, Mimi, turned
loose in his masters door-yard, saw q
basket hanging on clothes pole about
feet from the ground. 1t contained
a pet eat belonging to the place. The
horse walked over to the basket and
put his nose up to investigate, when
the cat put out her paw and gave the
intruding hose a lively scratch. The
horse turned around, looked over his
shoulder as though to take aim and
measure the distance, kicked, and cat,
basket and all shot into the air like q
rocket. The horse watched the sue
cess Of his shot, then gave Q low
whinny Of delight and walked away
to feed.
