A Portland correspondent Of the New
York Times is responsible for the fol-
lowing: The important work in hand,
next to carrying the Northern Pacific
through Montana. is construction of the
main route of travel up the Columbia,
as the road from Portland to the Lower
Cascades, over fifty miles, is now being
graded, and made ready for the ties
and rails. This will not be completed
until October. The road from the
Dalles down to the Cascades is in opera
tlon, and has been very expensive to
build. Steamboats, yet navigate the
great riAer, and tourists can get all the
inspiration there Is in the scenery, both
by river and rail. Another piece of work
that must be done soon is to fill up the
gap Of about fifty miles between Port
land and Kslama, down the main Col
umbia, which will give through oonnec-
ton from Walla Walla to Puget Sound.
Tacoma is the present terminus ON the
Sound, but Mr.. Willard has given out
that the road must be continued forty
miles further down the Sound, to Seat
tie within year. In the country east
Of the Cascades the Oregon River 4
Navigation Company are grading 10
miles to develop the Palouse region, and
are also building through Cmatilla
county in Eastern Oregon, to cross the
Blue Mountains and meet the Oregon
Short Line at Baker City. Besides all
this the Oregon 4 California road il
now being pushed through to the State
line to meet the Central Pacific, a work

two years will be required to complete

CHILD DROWNED FROM THE FERsY.-

CHILD DRowNKp FROM THE FEBsY.-
Last night a few minutes before ten, q
baby's carriage containing the child of
George Harold, went overheard from
the Albina ferry, and the child was
drowned. Il Was not possible. owing
to the late hour to get exact particulars,
and two versions of the sad accident are
given. The ferry was approaching the
Portland shore and touched against the
piling which extends some distance into
the river and stopped. Mr.. Harold,
who in near sighted, supposing the boat
had reached the landing started off the
apron, which was not guar dsd with a
chain. pushing the buggy ahead of him.
Both the man and the vehicle fell over
board, bat Mr.. Harold was rescued with
great difficulty. The buggy with the
child sank to the bottom. Graphing
was commenced at once, but az the river
is deep at this point some time elapsed
before the buggy was secured. At mid
night the body had not been recovered,
and further search was delayed till this
morning. Officers of the boat say Mr..
Harold had the buggy too near the side
of the apron and when the boat touched
the piles the slight jar sent it overheard.
Mr.. Harold is German, was formerly
. teacher, and lives at the corner of
Sixth and jackson. He is now engaged
in the County Assessors Office. The
child was girl, about nine months old.
and was Mr.. HarOld's by adoption.-Or-

FARMERS, DON'T RIsE IN the MID.
DIE Of THE NIGHT.

1t is not necessary i'll this age of the
world for the farmer to rise in the mid
die Of the night and begin his work
This getting up So. early in the morning
il arctic of barbarism. 1t has made
hundreds of thousands of young men
curse the business.
There is no need of getting up at 3 or
o'clock in the morning. The farmer
who PERSISTS in dragging his wife and
children from their beds ought to he Wis.,
to rise after the sun has risen with heal
ing upon his wings" and as q Just pun
lsnment they all had the ague; and they
ought to have it now. When you rise at
four and work till dark, what is life
worth? OF what use is all improved
machinery unless it tends to give the
farmer little more leisure? What is
harvesting now, compared with what it
Was in old times? Think of the days of
reaping, of grading, of raking and bind
ing and moving. Think Of threshing
with the fail and winnOwing with the
wind. And now think Of the reapcrs
and mowers, the binding and threshing
machines, the plows and cultivators
upon which the farmer rides protected
from the sun. If, with all the advantages
you can not get living without rising
In the middle Of the night, 60 into some
other business. You should not rob fam
lilies Of sleep. Sleep 10 the best redicine
in the world. There is no such thing
AS health without sleep. Sleep until
y0u get thoroughly rested and restored.
When you work. work; and when you
get through take good long and re-
freshing sleep.

The book Of the Princess Dolgor0uky,
which has appeared in Geneva, says
that on the morning of the day he was
murdered the Emperor informed the
Princess that he had approved a num-
Der of reforms that were to be published
the next day. Bot the next day he was
dead, and the State paper was sup
pressed. What these reforms were may
never be known, but that the assassina-
ton was setback instead of an ad-
vance for Russia, as the rev0lutiOnists
claimed, there can be no doubt. The
present Emperor is even more of a pro-
gressionist than his father, bat he is
locked up in a palace, afraid to venture
forth. and the affairs of the Empire are
in the hands of men who are unable to
bring order out of the existing chaos.
If Alexander III had been given a
chance to show what he would do, the
Russian people would be immeasurably
better off today than they are. Terror
ism brings forth no good.

The mysterious disappearance of a
young girl Of IA, at Tisza Eszlar in
Hungary, is still the cause of excite
ment in the neighborhood. She was
missed about two months ago. Some
weeks afterward a report was circulated
that she had been murdered by tho
Jews in order to leaven the Easter bread
with her blood. The authorities insti-
tuted an inquiry, at which a young
Jewish boy. the son of ono of the at
PENDANTS at the Synagogue, gave de-
tailed account of having, through the
keyhole of the Synagogue door, seen her
killed by several butchers, according to
the Jewish rites. II was proved that
she had been last seen at the Synagogue.
Upon this the chief men named by tho
boy were arrested. In spite Of the
most careful search, and although a re-
ward Of SEQ forms was offered. no
trace Of her could he found. A few
days ago the corpse Of a woman was
found floating in the Thesis. An in
quest was held which has only made the
matter more mysterious. 1t was re-
ported that the body had been identi-
ned by the mother of the missing girl
as her daughters, but this is now CON
tradicted. There will be much excite
ment until the inquest has been con-
Guided and the result is known.

The revolver, according to a London
paper, is in all probability destined to
be shortly discarded from use in the
army, navy, Irish constabulary, and
other Government services. in favor of
q new weapon, the mitrailleuse pistol,
in which there are four barrels. which
are loaded at once by . quadruple cart
ridge, big enough to afford good hold to
tho fingers. Forty shots per minute can
be discharged, and the empty cartridges
elected automatically. As there is no
opening through which any gas can es-
cape, the weapon can be used gun fash
ion when aiming. and there are no
screws, hammers or projections to catch
the clothing, reins or acc0utrements.
Above all there IL no fear of jam or
the weapon becoming unservioeabie
from everlasting. The pistol will take
the ordinary Government cartridge.

RHpEAL or THE SUNDAY LAw.-Says
tho Colfax Democrat: Papers published
on the Sound are beginning to discuss
tho propriety of repeating the so-called
Sunday law, and no doubt great effort
will be made at the next session of the
Legislature to do away with it. Certain
~. it does not accomplish the end for
which It was intended. Il is only in the
hamlets Of the Territory that 1t is OBJ
served at oil. Nearly every town of any
size In Eastern Washington has utterly
ignored it, and the saloons. which it was
intended to reach, have disposed of their
wares with little less restriction than be-
fore. Il is a Law impossible to enforce,
and It should be exterminated from the
statute book.
