The amount of construction work on
the Northern Pacific Railroad for the
year 1882 is stated by Vice President
Cakes as follows: Three hundred and
twenty miles finished in Yellowstone
valley, 25 on the Wisconsin division
and l25 up the valley of Clark's fork
of the Columbia, in Idaho and Mon
tana, making in all 40 miles. In adj
dition there has been 200 miles graded.
The gap between the two ends of the
track in Montana is now $50 miles,
nearly all being in the old settled por-
ton of the Territory, between Boze-
man and Missoula, where the gold
mines attracted considerable popula-
ton as early as 1862. The present end
of the track of the road building west
is at Livingstone, new town at the
head Of the Yellowstone valley. The
total mileage of the finished main line,
now operated by the company is 1915
miles. So far advanced is the work of
the uncompleted section that the open
ing of the entire line to the Pacific
coast is regarded as certain to take
place next summer.

The Oregon Short Line railroad COM
pany, branch of the Union Pacific, is
looking for an independents connection
with Portland and the northwest; ac-
cording to the latest advices, engineers
are surveying down the Little Sandy
to ascertain the feasibility Of locat-
ing the road. 1t is thought that the
road will cross the Cascade mountains
about ten miles back of the Columbia
river, on ridge that has been discov-
cred, and then cross the Sandy about
four miles below Revenues. 1t is re-
ported that operators for this road have
purchashed tract Of land on the river
below Albina, for depot purposes.
Such a line completed would give this
country competition with the North
ern Pacific line.

The telegraph gives us a sure cure for
chills in elephants-a drink of two gal
Ions of whiskey and three gallons of
water. 1t is said to be recently dis
covered cure and the only one known,
but for all that it will not be accepted
by the prohibitionists, and there is to
be tremendous effort put forth to
crush this dangerous innovation in
its infancy, by inducing all the ele-
plants to join the blue ribbon clubs.
They have several elephants" on
their hands now, but more will not
come amiss.

Many years ago, some of the oldest
Inhabitants will remember it, B. F.
Dewell had to pay large amounts to
the government, because he was surety
for w. G. Griswold. Dowell brought
suits against Griswold, which were in
the courts Of Oregon for many years.
The Attorney General has directed
that Griswold's property at Salem be
sold next February, and the order of
sale is regarded asl the ending of the
long contest.
