BILE to take the emigrants to their destination
without compelling them to lay over at st. Paul
about twenty -four hours. The officials OF the AL

pie to 30 long delay would be great hardship
upon them, and might act detrimental to the
good reputation Of their line. They therefore
loaned train to the st. Paul. Minneapolis &
Manitoba to run through to Winnipeg with these
people. The emigrants greatly appreciated the
interest manifested in their behalf by the officials
of the Albert Lea line, and rewarded them with
series of complimentary resolutions and three
cheers - Hereafter trains No 2 and on the

WASHINGTON Territory, which seeks adj
mission as State, makes a good showing.
The population Of the Territory is now over
125,000, with a smaller death rate than that
of any other State or Territory. The soil is
exceedingly fertile, often producing over
100 bushels Of wheat and so bushels of oats
and barley to the acre, while the hop crop is
only excepted by that of New York, Wis
consin and California, and in yield pei
acre is unequalled. Its timber is the finest
in the world, much of which is especially
adapted to shipbuilding. Two great trans
continental lines of railway win soon con-
meet the Territory with the great sea-ports
and centres of population on the North At
lantic coast, and its business and industrial
prosperity is assured.

AN Iowa correspondent of the New York
Tribune says that the foremost question in
Iowa at the present time is the cheapening
of railroad transportation. In the West,
where, owing to pooling arrangements, 30
cents hundred is charged for the trans
portation of grain for less than 400 miles,
while the highest rate the pool lines east of
Chicago charge for the transportation to the
seaboard, or 900 miles, is Is cents,
there is demand for legislation regulating
railway charges, especially on freight. Sixty
five TO seventy-fve dollars per car load for
live stock is demanded between local points
east of the Missouri and Chicago, though
not much over half these rates are demand
ed between Chicago and New York.
