RAILROAD REPORTS.

The graders are more than 100 miles
ahead of the track-layers on the western
end of the Northern Pacific gap.
1t is now definitely announced that
the Northern Pacific will reach Helena
on the 18th of June.
Negotiations are pending for the con
struction of grand union depot at
Ogden, for the five roads now centering
there.
The system of paying laborers on the
Canadian Pacific for construction has
been changed by the contractors, Lang
don, Shepard Il Co. Hitherto 100000
were sent at time in a car. The con-
struction party fear an attack on the
train and robbery. The men in future
will be paid by a check made payable to
the bearer, which will be negotiable
anywhere.
President Willard in a recent address
at New York said he had more trouble
in securing the means for completing
the Oregon IL California road TO the
California boundary than in financier-
ing the Northern Pacific and the Oregon
Navigation together. The necessary
capital, Ae says, has, however, been as
sured, and the line will be in operation
by August /, 1884.

Hn CRAwLEp INTO HoLE.-The quiet
of the lower part of the city was some
what rufiied yesterday afternoon by the
appearance of storekeeper on Com
mercial street chasing fellow at break
neck speed and crying, "Stop thief |!
stop thief r But the fellow did net
feel like stopping. Reaching the corner
of Mill and Commercial street, he turned
down toward Yesier's wharf, closely
followed BY his pursuer. Reaching the
alley near the postoffice. he ran through
it, and reaching the rear Of Waddell &
Miles tin store, he fell on his stomach
and crawled under the house. Heating.
his pursner. caught him by the leg. bat
the fellow gave him n punch in the
stomach, and be was glad to loosen his
held. The excitement attracted quite n
crowd OF men and boys, who swarmed
around the hole the thief went into like
lot OF bees; but all efforts to extricate
the fellow failed till Chief Woolery ap-
peared upon the scene. Is seems this
fellow and a companion had entered
keating's store, and while enc talked to
the proprietor the other stole couple of
small brushes, worth about three bits
each. As they left the place Heating
missed his brushes. and stated in pur-
suit. In his fiight the fellow dropped
the stolen property. which was rec ,yered
by its riRhtful owner. On reaching the
scene Of operations Chief Woolery
crawled under the house and hauled the
fellow out. He was recognized as an
old offender, and when asked what he
remained under the building 50 long
for, said. II Just wanted to have a little
fun." He afterwards stated that he
and his chum had stolen the brushes to
raise beer money. He was locked up.
and will be held for trial ON Monday
next. After serving his sentence he
viii be given notice to leave town.
