TINE NoRTaMEsr ROOM.

While Seattle intends, ss matter OF
self interest, and az a duty due from
herself to herself, to keep the facts In
the matter Of her rapid growth AND
Astounding prosperity before the people
it is certain that neither the press mol
the people of this thriving city wish to
even pretend to ignore the wide extend
ING evidences Of thrift and increase OF
prosperity all along the whole grand
line of the Northwest. Walla Walla,
Portland, Olympia, New Tacoma, Sc
attic and Port Townsend are located
along the segment Of q great circle, IN
which astonishing evidences Of a new
and vigorous life present themselves in
new and ever varying forms With each
recurring day. Perhaps, in substantial
evidences Of permanent growth, Port
land and Seattle take the lead at pres
ent. Walla Walla and New Tacoma
probably follow in the order named, al
though We presume that the Walla Wal
laians will claim parity with. if not
precedence of Seattle. For ourselves,
we shall not quarrel over the matter;
but will gracefully and ungrudgingly
weld the precedence when convinced by
facts and figures" The marked i'm
petus given to building and other evi-
dences of increasing prosperity in
Olympia and Port Townsend are graft
flying to every unprejudiced well wisher
of this section.
Similar statements might be made up
by the score from our exchanges all
through Washington Territory, along
the line of the Northern Pacific Rail
road, and miles away from its vivifying
influences. Along the east passage of
Puget Sound, in Snohomish and What
com Counties, the "boom" is almost
equally observable. The facilities for
water transportation have more than
doubled in the past six months, and are
already proving inadequate for the
transaction OF the increased volume of
business. The annals of the year 1882
will be memorable in the history of the
Northwest. Let US hope that old Father
Time, as he closes the books, will hold
in his hand glass, which will show rs
many more to come as full of good
cheer as the ono now passing away.

THE OREGON sM0RT LINE.
From the Walla Walla Union. |

We received pleasant call yesterday
morning from Robert Il. Strahorn, the
chief of the Bureau of Information of
the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
and Hon. A. Caldwell, formerly United
States Senator from Kansas. and now
President of the Kansas Manufacturing
and the Idaho d Oregon improvement
Companies. These gentlemen, accom-
panied by their wives, have been in
specting the country between Granger
and Walla Walla, including the Wood
river region and are going to view Puget
Sound, returning home by way OF San
Francisco. They were both much
and improvement of Walla Walla. Mr..
Strahorn further informed Us that the
Oregon Short Line track had been laid
from Granger to a point 800 miles west
OF that place and 40 miles west of
American Falls, that the road bed is
one of the best in the United States,
tho track is broad gage and tbs rails
heavy steel. There are 40 miles more
Of the road ready to lay iron on. 1t is
expected that the road will be completed
and in running order to ShOshone, the
name given to the junction of the Wood
river branch with the main line. a dis
lance Of Al miles west of American
Falls, in few weeks, and that the road
will be finished to Haily, GO miles from
the main line, possibly by Christmas.
The most of the roadbed is already
graded by June LIST. 1888, the road viii,
be in operation to Bennett creek, 1C)
miles west of Shoshone, and 30 miles
east of Boise City. Bennett creek is on
~ little over 800 miles easterly of
Walla Walla. The crossing of the lava
beds, the hardest part of the work, is
nearly completed. The lava Leds are
about 20 miles wide, have no water on
them, and make almost continuous
rock work necessary.
In answer 10 Q query, Where is the
Oregon Short Line going9 Mr.. Strahorn
Remarked: ~ don't know. The Oregon
Railway and Navigation Co, are trying
to shut US out Of the Burnt river can
you. but think we will get here"
Several thousand men and teams are
employed in constructing the road and
they will be kept to work whenever the
weather will permit.
w. b. Dodridge, Superintendent of
the Oregon Short Line, who has recent
~ been over the road, says: 1.-The grad
ing Of the Oregon Short Line is pro-
crossing well, and is 30 far ahead of the
tracklayers that good progress can now
be made in putting down the track. Men
and machinery have gone forward to
sink artesian wells In the lava, through
which the road runs ninety miles with
ont water between American Falls and
Little Wood river. They are confident
or securing water by this means. and il
successful it will prove of vast benefit
to the road. 1t takes a vast amount of
supplies for the thousands Of men and
hundreds of teams engaged in the work
Of constructing this important railway.
Most Of these supplies come from the
East, the grain for the animals being
furnished from Nebraska, while Utah is
drawn upon for MANY articles.

HOW | SAVED TWO LIVES.

1t was only few days after my
mother died that old Kate, the blind
woman who lived in the room next to
ours, lost her little dog, and offered to
share with me her small means of liv-
ing if I would ill to her his place. 1
was glad enough to accept her offer, and
so day after day, led her through the
streets, and at night shared her humble
cot. 1t was in that way, through
passing SO often the same houses, that
1 noticed and was attracted towards
the inmates Of one. 1t was an elegant
stone dwelling, with a bay window,
and in that window often sat a lady
with the gentlest, most beautiful face
1 had ever seen, while leaning at her
knee would be boy Of about twelve
years, with eyes and brow like her
own, but features in general more like
the dark handsome face of one who
would sometimes come and talk with
them for a while.
Il was all the same to old Kate
where 1 led her, so long as she knew
by the sounds about her that we were
in a populous neighboyhood, and /
often would pass and repass that
house with the bay window and its
beautiful occupants as many as dozen
times day and SO, though they knew
me not, came to know them well.
The months went on and the sum-
mer came with its pleasant evenings.
Then. when old Kate, tired out, would
fall asleep, l would watch my oppor.
tunity and slip out unheard. Perhaps
it was wrong for me to do SO; but sure.
ly. / thought, no one would harm a
little eight-year old girl.
One evening, drawn by the splen.
dor within an open door, stood look
ing in, when lady who was passing
left the arm Of the elderly gentleman
whom she was with and came to my
side.
"Come away, my child" she said
earnestly, "do you not know that this
is one of satan's most deadly trapsp"
was not afraid-she spoke so kind
ly; but it did not seem to me that what
she said could be true.
"Oh, it is too beautiful to be that,
/ answered: cit is just like fairy-land.' .
Her voice was even more earnest as
she spoke again, and there was bitter
ness in it as if somehow she had suffered
through just such place.
"But it is so, my child. 1t is the
straight road to that dreadful place
where only the wicked dwell. True
it is beautiful-Satan knows only toe
we'll how to entice and ruin"
walked on by her side for couple
of streets-the gentleman all that time
never saying word, but looking,
thought, a little amused-and then sht
loosed my hands and 1 sped home.
Another bright, moonlight evening
came; the room was hot and sitting
and all looked so clear and inviting
without that l could not resist tht
temptation to once more stray out
This time my steps turned towards th'
house in which l was so much inter
ested. The lights were lit, but thu
curtains were all drawn, and though
i cr0utched low by the iron rail
could soc nothing and was turning
away, when light carriage suddenl,
drove up and stopped, and gentle
man alighted and ran up the steps
AT the same moment the dsor opened
and the lady with the beautiful fac,
came with Outstretched hands to NEE
him. But her face was as had nev
ar seen it bef0re-all stained with tear
