DAILY
POST : INTELLIGENCER,
TuE READY.nADE House INDUSTRY.

The Canadians are making such
considerable and profitable business OF
ready-made house manufacture that il
seems strange that Americans, who have
the reputation for Selling new oppor-
tunities for money getting do not branch
cut in this direction more extensively.
True it is that the rapid settlement OF
the Canadian Northwest has stimulated
the inventive genius over the line to de-
wise some way to provide the shelter
less new-goers on the prairie wastes
of the new country with houses, and
the knock down plan of preparation and
shipment has proved to be the most
feasible and quickest way to meet the
exigency.
Illustrative of the manner this in
dustry is progressing, it is mentioned in
the London, Ontario, Adgertiser, that
the Truaxes' planning mill at Walker
ton, is turning out material for ready
made houses at a rapid rate. Orders
for whole row of houses can be filled
in a few days, and it is not uncommon
to 500 an entire street for Brandon or
block for Winnipeg sent out on train
twenty or thirty days after the order
has been received. During the past
season Messrs. Truax shipped two hun
dred and nineteen cars Of knock-down
house material to the Northwest. One
Of tho partners in the firm accompanies
each train, and snperintends the put
ting up of tho houses. Sometimes
houses are ordered by telegraph III this
fashion: "What clL you furnish me
tidy cottage for, 22x40 feet, with bay
window and veranda p Next spring
the enthusiastic Louse-builders expect
to receive orders for entire villages,
something after this style: "What il
your lowest figure for five stores. two
wagon and two blacksmith shops, one
Methodist and one Presbyterian church
twenty-five cottages, town hall and
lookup. to be delivered on or before
July 1st p Orders have been received
for twenty-one houses to be put up III
Brandon next spring. The freight rate
on these houses from Walkerton 10
Chicago is $40 a car; from Chicago to
Minneapolis, $40 a car. The charge
the balance of the way is enormous,
owing to the lack of competition, the
cost of medium Car through from the
start to Winnipeg being 1851. The
large ones used by the Truaxes cost
more.
We look for a most thriving industry
of this character on the Pacific slope at
an early day. The abundance of lum
Der on the lower Columbia river, Oh
Puget Sonnd and Burrard Inlet, and
the establishment of great woodwork
ing industries, will, Oh completion of
the transcontinental roads and the
cheapening of transportation, be the
means of building up an immense traf-
fic in ready made houses for the tree
less region between the Cascades and
Rocky Mountains. 1t will be- cheaper,
Of course, to ship only such material
as may be necessary, and it can be done
with house as well as with a sewing
machine or passenger coach. 1t will
not be surprising to witness the in
auQur0tiOu of this traffic ara tho closa
of 1883.

OREGON suO1r LINE ROUTE.
Ed. PosT-IsTELLr6EScEa:

Ed. PoST-IsTELLroEScE8:
The Oregon Short Line road, by
avoiding tue Burnt river route. has
gained great victory, one that will tell.
when built. in dollars and cents. By
running down Snake river il taps the
Assosin, the best country tributary to
Lewiston. Then below that the Aipo-
VA. the Deadinan the Pataha, Two
Canyon, Milestone hollow and the
Eureka fat, all of which are heavy
grain-Rrowing districts, Then, too, the
line will not compete with any other
line now In progress, or any that may
be built in the future. This, the writer
thinks, is an important achievement,
and one that will soon be appreciated
after it shall have b-en completed. Way
traffic is an important consideration in
the building of railroads, and intelli-
gent action in this regard has been
taken by this choice of routes. Il fur
nishes an outlet to a large scope of
country that has been hitherto neglect
ed and Vholly left out in the cold. The
enterprising citizens of Lewiston have
keenly felt this neglect and have labor
ed assiduOusly to procure railroad con-
nection by way of the Lolo pass, which
had to be abandoned on account of its
impracticability.
A crossing of the Columbia has to be
made somewhere below the mouth of
Snake river. To cross above Wallula
would give more direct line toward
Puget Sound. There is a long canyon
running in northwesterly direction
that empties into the Yakima river some
10 miles above its mouth; this would
give the road an easy grade down on
the Yakima. and by crossing the Col
lumbia some 6 or miles above Wal
lula would be almost on a direct line in
the course the line would want to go. In
all this distance there would be no clash
ing with the routes of any of the pro-
jected roads. From the horn of the
Yakima there would be a choice of
routes: one would lie up the Yakima
river, through the reservation, and the
other would cross the Yakima river, and
run east of the Rattlesnake mountains
to within or 10 miles of Priest rapids,
then by taking up Cold Creek to its
head and over into Seloh Valley; from
thence go down the said valley into the
Yakima canyon, at or near the mouth
of Squaw creek; from thence it would
only be some or miles into the Kit
titas valley. This is the most direct route
that could be taken and the one that
wOlld have fewer obstacles to over
come, and would be more permanent
when made. After reaching Kittitas
the country is open and either side of the
Yakima can be taken. Further than
this the writer is not much acquainted.
But the most favorable pass through
the Cascade mountains is reached. Such
is the opinion of OLD PROSPECT.
