We learn that two surveying parties
are engaged in the Snoqualmie Pass,
endeavoring to find a suitable route
for the Northern Pacific, whenever the
company decide that the branch road
must be built. The money spent in
these mountain surveys should pean
something; but it would seem that the
company desire to cross the mountains
as far north as possible. While we
Lelieve the hest passes are south of Mt.
Rainier, we desire that the road direct
to the Sound shall be built as speedily
as possible, let it cross the mountains
where it may. Both sections of our
territory demand railroad connection,
which the line down the Columbia can
not fll That ''pot-baif' route will
not satisfy our people, and if the
Northern Pacific desire to gain and
keep their confidence and support they
should look little to the interest Of
that section which will in time yield
the largest profits. Wehope Mr.. vii

tory as xeii as those of Oregon.--O

MOTHERHOOD.

Far, far away, across troubled sea,
My wistful eyes espy
The culver Of a.little snowy sail,
Unfurled against the sky.
So faint, SO far, so yelled in soft obscure
Its quiet shimmering,
Sometimes methinks no mortal thing it is,
But gleam of angels wing.
And yet .he currents of my lifo SO set
Towards this vision fair,
Iknow, l know for me it pales and glows;
It will not fade in air.
With my own heart-th, obs throbs the tiny
sail,
My sighs its pennons move;
And hither steadfast points its magnet
towards
The pole-star of my love.
What precious gifts do freight this mystis
bark
There ia no sign to show;
What frail, small mariner is there en-.
shrined,
No mortal yet may know.
only know the soul divine moves there,
Mid two eternities; 'e
Before this secret Of the Lord bow
With veiled and reverent eyes.
And vainly does my restless love essay
To haste the coming sail;
Dear God! Not even to save from sunken
reefs
Can love of mine avail.
Yet will I keep my vigil, and in peace.
Like Mary. "dwell apart":
Close to the mysteries of God are thou,
My brooding mother-heart.
All, heavenly sweet will be thy recon-
pense,
When, every fear at rest,
The little bark all tranquility shall lie
Safe anchored on thy brcast

Cascade Locks.

A meeting at the Dalles as reported
in the Times, adopted the following
resolutions:
RESOLVED, That the settlers upon twenty
to thirty thousand square miles Of fertile
territory upon the Upper Columbia river
and its tributaries have right to demand a
free highway to the ocean.
Resoired, that the great increase of the
industrial interests Of Eastern Oregon and
Washington Territory calls for united and
earnest petition to Congress for the imme-
date completion of the locks at the Cas-
cades Of the Columbia.
Resotped,-Th we heartily approve of
the critical examination now being made by
Hon. NJ. C. George of the difficulties pre-
sented at the Cascades and elsewhere to the
effectual opening of this grand river to free
navigation, and that we tender him our
hearty thanks as our representative in Con-
gress for his earnest personal efforts in our
behalf.
The meeting was addressed by Con,
gresham George, Col. N. H. Gates
and others, and was enthusiastic.

Road and Stage Line to Grand Rond

A gentleman from this place. who
has recently been at Boise City, on
his return as far as Walla Walla,
writes to member of the city coun-
Gil of this city concerning road and
stage line from Union via Wallowa
valley as follows:
"While at Boise had a conversa-
tion with Haley about stage route
from Lewiston to Wallowa valley and
Union. He said if the Lewiston peo-
pie would take hold with the Wallowa
people and open road through, he
could get mail route established and
would put Oh line of stages. He
said he could not afford to open the
road himself, and that he seldom could
get help when he had once COM
menced the work himself \ n He
said there was no trouble to get line
of stages on, if the road was once
opened He thought good route
might be opened through Lewiston to
the Spokane country. Cannot you get
the people interested in this movement?
Lewiston win grow whenever her peo-
pie open the roads. There are GO
miles between the Assotin and the
W'allowa, that require attention. Lew
iston with the present facilities OF
transportation can sell goods cheaper
than can be done in Grand Rond
valley, and with good road opened,
and stage line running should draw
trade from Wallowa valley. Canno.
some one be sent over there at once,
and by assistance from Lewiston could
not such a route ba opened this Fall p
We answer emphatically yes Pro
viding the Lewiston people enthuse a
little upon the Subject, sufficient at
least to induce them to contribute as
a loan, thousand or fifteen hundred
dollars promptly to the enterprise as
needed. We call it loan, because
more than twice that amount would
soon come back to them after the road
was opened. Now let US see who will
entbuse in this matter and seek to en-
thuse his neighbors who have means.

Serious Trouble at a Railroad Meet.
ing Two mon Shot, Supposed
Fatally.

RENO, New, Sept. 27.-A stock
holders meeting OF the Neyada 4 Ore
gon Railroad was today called for the
purpose Of electing directors. When
the meeting was called TO order
Frank r. Fowler stated it was stock
holders meeting, and requested all
others to retire. No one moved, aud
he pointed to ex.Judgc Wheeler and
james McMcchan Of San Francisco,
and Treasurer Coffin Of Carson, and
told them if they did not go out they
would be put out. They still re-
mained, and a rush was made, pistols
drawn and fred rapidly, s. g. SEQ
vile secretary, and d. w. Bsich OF
San Francisco were wounded, the ply
sicians think fatally.
Another Account.
AT the stockholders meeting the fol.
lowing directors were ousted: Geo.
L. Woods, 4. ID. Wheeler; j. McMc-
chan I. Coffin, G. A. Bragg. John
Sunderland, and G. A. King, and the
following were elected to fill tho
board g. A. Brigg. q. Il. Woods,
p. w. Balch, =. q. Scoville, r. 4.
Fowler, A. II. Manning and III. J..
J. McMurry. The contest which rc-
suited in the shooting arose from d
disagreement between Thomas Moore
Of New Jersey tho contractor, and
four men who form majority Of the
board, namely, James McMechan,
Judge Il. d. Wheeler, Trenmore COT.
fin and John Sunderland Two mem
bers Of the board have sided with
Moore in tho. dispute, G. A. Bragg and
Geo. II. King. Geo. L. Woods was
counted one of the Wheeler's party,
but lately has joined Moore. BY tho
contract, Moore was to build the road,
and take mortgage on it and three.
quarters of the stock in payment.
He got money in New York to build
it, and some stock was taken here
and in San Francisco. He has built
ten miles and graded twenty more.
After calling meeting Of stockholders
the four directors met and voted them.
selves $4,000 shares Of stock but paid
no money for il. Moore got an injunc.
tion against their voting. Wheeler
claims that he had papers dissolvine
the injunction TO DO present at the
meeting. When the meeting was
called to order. Moore's party attempt
ed to put Wheeler, Sunderland, Nc
Mechan and coffin out Of the Office,
and the shooting occurred. There are
so many conflicting statements that il
cannot he told who fred first. SEQ
vile has made dying statement, and
says Coffin fred the first shot, and
thinks it hit him. (Scovillc). Balcl
has made dying statement, and sayi
Wheeler shot him. Scovlle suffers
great pain from n shot through tht
body, and is vomiting black blood
Morphine does not soothe the pain
The doctors say there is no hope fol

He had ball through the right lung
another through the left wrist, AM
one through the left shoulder. HI

Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, of Union
!county, the Independent Republican
candidate for State Treasurer, arrived
in tie city yesterday for the purpose
of consulting with his friends here
relative to his candidacy. In explain
ing the reasons for his action Mr..
Wolfe said: Zone of the important
objects I have in view in making this
fight is for the purpose Of determin.
ing how much sincerity and practica-
bility there is in the Independent Re
form movement in PENNSYLVANIA. When
left Harrisburg last week my first
thought was 10 withdraw from the
contest for the present, but after think
ing over the matter l consulted with
some Of my friends and determined to
go into the fight. [ do not want the
Office Of State Treasurer, as every one
knows, but it is better to make the
battle now than next year, when the
same tactics that were repeated in this
convention 81 10 triad again. Then
we will have a Governor and other
State officers to elect, and if the ma
chine attempted to crowd down the
Independents there would be an open
revolt. So it is far better to settle
this question now than to postpone it
until then. If there is any other man
in the State whom the Independents
would prefer as a candidate to myself
will willingly withdraw, and turn in
earnestly for him. Many cf those who
have been termed Independents are not
really so, but are waiting around for
the machine to take care Of them.
Why, at Harrisburg it was agreed
in the Davies conference that John
Steward, ex-senator Langdon and At
torney General Lear should go into
the convent on and make powerful
.protests against the machine, sitting
down upon the Independents. But
did they do it? There was not a pro,
test. All these things have disgusted
me, and l have determined, with the
aid of my friends, to test the Inde-
pendent5 of this State and see wheth-
er they really desire reform. l will
poll more votes than l thought l could
when l started as candidate. There
viii be nothing left undOne, so far as
organization and work are concerned.
Where my drst speech will be made l
do not know yet. All these things
must be arranged. But I am in earn
est, and l would not believe the word
Of any Of these ringsters. When I get
on the war path they know it. They
will hear from me soon.

Port Huron, Mich:
To TIE AMERICAN PEOPLE: We
have tonight returned from the burnt
district Of Huron and Sanilac counties.
We have seen the burnt, disfigured
and writhing bodies of men, women
and children. Rough board cofiins
contained the dead, followed to the
grave by a few blinded, despairing
relatives. Crowds of half starved peO-
pie at some Of the stations asked for
bread for their families and neighbors.
We hear Of more than two hundred
victims already buried and more
charred and bloated bodies are daily
discovered. Already more than 1,500
families are found to be utterly desti-
tuto and homeless. They huddle in
barns, school houses and in their
ineighbOrs' houses, scOrched, blinded

isome in speechless agony, wringing
their hands and refusing to be COM
fOrted. More than ten thousand peo-
pie, who only a week ago occupied
happy, comfortable homes, are to-day
houseless and homeless sufferers. They
are hungry and almost naked when
found in such numbers and so widely
scattered that our best efforts and
greatest resources fail to supply their
immediate wants. Without speedy aid
many will perish and many more will
suffer and become exiles. Our people
will do their utmost for their relief,
but all our resources would fail to meet
their necessities. We appeal to the
charity and generosity of the Ameri-
can people. Send help without delay

President Garfield No
More.
His Death Announced at
1885 Last Night.
Sheer Exhaustion the Immediate
Cause Of his Death.

The prayers and hopes Of a great
nation have been defeated. After
nearly three months Of intense suf-
fering borne with sublime and heroic
fortitude the end has come. The
president is dead, and with his last
breath he draws with him the pro-
found affection Of a bereaved peo-
pie, For a second time in the histo-
ry OF the republic its chosen chief
has been sent to death by the
treacIIerous bullet Of cruel and
cowardly assassin. For days and
weeks the whole people hung with
alternating hope and fear upon
every bulletin that issued from the
room Of the victim until hope at last
yielded to the gloomy conviction that
the end was nigh. All that human
affection could conceive and all that
human skill could do have been in
vain. In the presence of this great
calamity the nation bows down with
humility and Submission to the High
er Power who holds in His grasp the
destiny of men and their govern
ments. .zs.41
