WASHINGTON TnRRIroRY.

In his last annual report, WIN. Nc
Mickcn, Surveyor General Of the Ter
ritory, reports s34 new standard o.
township lines completed during tho
year; l.475 miles Of subdivisions and
members, portion Of which was done
under Sec 2.30l, r. S, The cost Of
the field was fraction less than four
cents per acre. The "Big Bend" Of
the Columbia river is attracting the At-
tention Of immigrants; along tho Co
lumbia there is sufficient pine timber
for fencing, fuel or building purposes.
The only objection to the location u the
distance from market, but this will soon
be obviated. Private a. we'll = public
improvements have taken 3 decided
advance; property has increased in val
ue; tho natural resources Of the country
are better understood abroad and cap.
ital is soaking investment in tho differ.
ent industries and the rapid increase Of
population strengthens the hope Of soon
becoming State. The Territory h
hee from debt, and has surplus Of
over $4,000 in the treasury. There
is great scarcity Of timber east Of the
Cascade mountains, and little attention
has been paid to the cultivation Of tim
Der there. The coal mines are being
developed. and some Of the most valu.
able deposits are believed to Be towards
the upper and eastern portion OF ths
busin, or along the foothills Of the Caf-
cade mountains, most Of which is still
gnsurvcyed. Iron, both in bog and
hematite ore, has been found in largs
quantities, and some Of It is very rich
Cooking Goals and lime IT the best quail
ity are also found convenient for the
manufacture. The Territory has over
500 miles of railroad. The special de-
posits for surveys under Sec. 2,30l r.
s. amounted to $9,267. Gen. McMick
ems report will be officially published

Especial Dispatch to the 0,egonian.]
New York, Dec. 13th.-To-day's
Philadelphia Press had an interview
with Willard. He says, II have trav-
cled considerably in Oregon and Wash
ingtcn Territory during the past two
months and I saw on all sides eviden.
ces of rapid development of grand
country, but the best evidence of the
growth of the northwest is in the in
crease 10 our passenger and freight
business. The wheat crop of Washing
ton and Oregon will be about twice a.
much this year as last. We are conf
dent of running through trains by the
lst of September, 1883. l may say
that one of the great advantages Of the
Northern Pacific road YER very other
Pacific railway is that from the sum
NIT of the Rocky mountains to the Pa.
cifc ocean, distance of 900 miles, the
main line will follow a steady down
river grade. In the same distance the
Central Pacific has to go over three
submits of from 5000 to 5000 feet
high. So far as our road is concerned
it is entirely independent of any rail
road interest east of St. Paul and Du
luth. 1t is not necessary nor would i
be wise to form alliances with tn
Northern Pacific railroad and othe
roads. The business of our road as
through line will be very valuable an'
there will be plenty of competition 70

SENSATIONAL STORY ABOUT

who have kept quiet until now, that
two of The jurors have been in the EN-
ploy Of the Government for several
years, and are therefore disqualiGed.
Each juror was made to answer the
question whether he had served under
the Government or was then in h,
employ before being accepted. Each
juror answered up n his oath, mo
1t is now claimed that il can he shown
that two jurors periured themsrlve.
and arc therefore disqualified to serve
This fact was overlooked BY the prose

At present, it is stated, they are fear
full lest such an important fact shoult
leak out. A gentleman, familiar will

this point in their favor. The matte

WAITING.

Waiting, anxiously waiting,
Till the heart seems heavy as lead,
With pulses wildly throbbinr,
And dull numbing pain in the head;
Looking for one who comes not,
Adown the dusty lane,
Till the heart grows faint and weary,
With waiting and watching in vain.
Waiting, wearily waiting,
From morn, till noon, till night;
Watching, hungering and thirsting,l
To obtain Of one face sight.
When the sun wakes up the morning,
And bathes tine earth in golden light,
And says to her anxious. Il know
He'll surely come home before night"
And when his frey chariot
Has arrived at the station Of noon,
She say. to her fainting heart, "hope on,
You've looked for him quite too soOn."
But when, in golden splendor,
Old Sol sinks low In the west,
She sadly sighs, with tear dimmed eyes,
He'll come ere we 20 to rest"
Thus waiting ever waiting,
For something. or some one, dear;
The joys of the present are clouded DER
BY many an anxious fear.
To-day is as naught, but the morn,
The shadow is to be,
We ever pursue and like will o the wisp
Before us it ever doth fee.
Woman's life 10 filed with waiting,
And watching, for loved ones dear;
1t robs her face Of its cheerful smiles,
Dims her eyes by many tear:
The silver threads in her raven locks
Are not always the work of age,
But Of weary waiting and watching,
And the soul beating 'gainst its cage.

the surface about forty miles west Of

mountains. The veins are six to four.

sequence is sure to follow this enomous
