INFLUX OF LABoRERs.- Not less than
1000 white laborers who have been en-
ployod on the Canadian Pacific, the q,
r. ~ n. Co.'S and the Northern Pacific
lines during the summer have arrived
here this week. Most of them have from
one to two months pay in their pockets,

begun spending it in riotous living. The
industrious portion will stay here few

We believe there is good toWashington
Territory in the Republican defeat in
Ohio. 10 insure the election of Re-
pubiican President the three Republican
votes Of the State of Washington, while
not absolutely necessary, will be very
handy to have in the Electoral College
in 1854. There is Republican majority
now in both houses of Congress and il
it does not make State out of Wash
ington Territory before next March it
will be recreant to its trust. We expect
the enabling act to pass early in the
session.-W. W. Union.
The first shad taken in Rogue River,
Or gon, was caught last week in q seine
by salmon fisher. Its weight was one
and on9-fourth pounds, Shads have been
taken during the present year in the
Columbia River and on Puget Sound,
and until their taking were never before
known on the Pacific Coast. A number
OF young shads were placed in the Sacra.
mento River three years ago, and that
they have multiplied and spread is now
plain enough, as also that they will here
after be as common an article OF diet
on the Pacific as they are ON the Allan

Speaking of Vanderbilt's probable
connection with the Pacific coast rail
road building New YorA special says
that for two years past the Union Pacif
ic has contemplated new route to tie
Pacific coast and some months since be-
gan the construction of the Oregon Short
Line, with the ultimate intention of ex-'
tending the line to the coast, More re-
Gently arrangements have been perfected
for a second line from Utah through Ne
vada to San Francisco. The Vanderbilt
system proper consists of the most di-
rectly connected roads from New York
to Chicago, with an offshoot to the Miss
issippi river and to st. Louis, He has
personal management OF these roads and
owns an interest in the Chicago and
Northwestern, and has recently pur-
chased controlling interest in the Chi
cago, Minneapolis & Omaha roads
These under the controlling interest OF
Vanderbilt may very properly be consid-
cred portion of the New York Central
system to be worked in unison from that
city to Omaha and points in the north
west. The recent acquisition Of Hanni-
bal and st. Joseph road, with its web
system, will fairly make connections
with it. The combination OF these roads
with the Union Pacific is highly proba-
BILE as soon as the latter roa shall COM
plete its extension to the Pacific coast,
if they do not precede that event.
