A recent st. Paul dispatch says that
| Fl. Clark, the head contracting agent
who has constructed SO much North
ern Pacific road, has arrived at St.
Paul from trip direct from Portland,
Ogn., over the Northern Pacific trans
continental. To the inquiry, when
will the missing link OF the Northern
Pacific disappear, he answered, in the
| first part of August probably, before
that month closes certainly. He said
the gap at present isc2S0 miles. Track
laying is progressing from each end.
On the western division two miles per
day is going down, on the eastern end
mile and a half. As soon as the
work is little more advanced greater
strides on each end will be made. The
switch back around Bozeman tunnel
will be ready when the road is, and
the tunnel itself will be open from end
to end in November 1t seems to be
assured that Dec. 31st will witness the
possibility of through cars from st.
Paul to Portland, Ogn., and Seattle,
w. II. Clark said fervently, "T m
through with Chinese, heaven be
praised" He has now about 1000
men at work laying track, building
bridges and surfacing. They left the
country over which they worked Sa-
hara like in appearance, perfect des-
ert, without settlement and scarcely a
shanty. Where Scandinavians had
worked, on the contrary, little ham
lets sprang into existence, and the
marks of human habitations were
plenty. The Scandinavian wanted .
job, and when he got it, worked like a
Trojan, while Johnny Chinaman
worked for johnny Chinaman and
the ever present hope of a speedy re-
turn with lots of "Melican dolce" to
the land of his birth. Clark said
Dagos did we'll enough but the Sean
dinavians were the best of all foreign
ers. Gen. \. Anderson, chief engi-
neer of the Northern Pacific, who is
with Clark on this journey, atlirms all
that is said by the latter as to the
time of connection, and says settle
ments are springing up like mush-
rooms. He is confident that the bul6
of the East Indian trade will come via
the Northern Pacific when it is com.
pleted. At present ships from tn,
East Indies travelling on what is called
the great circle, reach the Pacific
coast about in the latitude of Pug
Sound, and have to 90 600 miles soutl
to market. Only 40 miles Of the
Northern Pacific line on the Colum.
bia river to Puget Sound remains tC
be built, and this link will be in wher
the main line is completed.

THE MARKET FOR OUR FRUIT.

There was shipped from San Fran
cisco to eastern points last year an ag-
gregate of nearly seven thousand tons
of fruit by passenger and freight trains,
which put wealth into the pockets of
the growers and made business for the
transportation lines. With the near
prospect of a through line from Port
land to all interior states of the union
and the east, and with the extensive
reputation enjoyed by the fruits of Or
gon and Washington, the question
come with peculiar force "What is to
prevent us from equaling or even eX-
ceeding the California export?
Fruit growing has been a paying
business in all localities accessible to
market; but as this condition has been
the exception rather than the rule, or
chards have not been properly culti-
waited. All the country over fruit cul-
ture is carried Oh in small way, as
an adjunct of general farming busi-
ness, but in scarcely an instance as a
special industry and with careful at
tention. All varieties of the temper
ate fruits grow in soundness of body
and richness of flavor in Oregon and
Washington, far superior to similar
products of the eastern states. \ great
country is rapidly opening upin Idaho,
Montana and Dakota, along the line
of the Northern Pacific railroad, and,
as the demand upon California COM
ing from east of the Sierras pays lib
eral price for the product of her or
chards. is it not safe to assume that as
great demand will soon be made
upon us from the interior states of the
north, to say nothing of supplying the
markets of ST. Paul, Chicago and New
| York.
While we have not the vineyards
and orange groves Cf California, we
have orchard of apples, pears, plums,
and cherries, whose beauty and flavor
will command as ready market in
the east, and wich, on account of theil
soundness, are particularly adapted
for shipment and can be laid down il
New York in splendid condition. II
| is promised that the overland line viii
be completed this coming summer
The time is therefore short and The
prospect fair that the demand for ou
fruit will far exceed the supply. 1t il
to the Interest of Every fruit grower il
\ eastern aud western Oregon and cast
ern Washington 70 take prompt step
in this matter. Many of the orchards
which have been allowed to decay
should be revived and fostered, anC
not day should be lost in setting GU
new trees in every available locality
for it is no longer an experiment as t.
whether or not fruit culture here pays
There can henceforth be no glut in thu
market and orchardists can be, in
large measure, independent of loca
demand. With the promise of eo-ep
GRAFTON in the matter of favorable rate
from the railroad company, therefor,
the fruit frowing interest now become
one of the great interests of the state
and ii is to hoped that early and am
pie preparations will be made for its in
crease. -OregOnidn.

Oregon and Washington.

The following from the New York
Slm is now going the rounds of the
of the eastern press:
Oregon newspapers, reviewing tho
events of the past year, show the eX-
istence of remarkable degree OF
prosperity in that state. Teu years
ago the population of Portland was
less than 1900. To-day it is nearly
three times that number, and Is con-
tinually increasing. During the year
1882 S3,000,0O0 was spent upon new
buildings in that city, and S4OO, 900 an
the streets. Its Wholesale trade foI
the year amounted to S40,000,000 and
the exports to S23, lbs, 9sl.
Equally favorable reports come from
Washington Territory, whose vast
forests of valuable timber furnish an
article of exports that is wanted in all
parts Of the world. Thirty years ago
Puget Sounds first saw-mil was
built. To-day there are numerous
towns where lumber saving il the
main industry. In lssl l75,0O0,0
cubic feet of lumber was exported.
The amount sawed in lSS2 is isestimated
at over 800, 900, 900 feet. The mills are
nearly all lighted by electricity, and
are the scene of csaseless labor. Nari-
Gus kindred forms of industry have
arisen out of the abundance of timber
including cooperage aud ship-build-
ing.
Among recent settlers in this fa-
vored region are some OF the Russian
Jewish immigrants, and reports re-
ceived from their settlements give
good ground for believing in sue
cessful issue TO their agricultural eX-
periments. Altogether, both Oregon
and Washington Territory seem 10 be
thriving to much greater degree than
California, their southern neighbor,
and are attracting comparatively a
larger share of immigration.

~ n>ua afr fire, we find some
people are crlticlzlng and growing
about the services of the tiremen.
The fact that they serve without pc
cuniary rccomrense does not seem
TO turn the shafts of persecution
leyeled at them. nor are these self
constituted censors particular as to
whether their comments are based
upon precise facts. After The Car
ton House fire Somebody very con-
hdently affirmed that full fifteen
minuteselapsed after the bell sounded
before the engine had water on tie
fire. The fact was that scarcely
eight minutes passed before the en-
engine WAS i'll service. The other
morning Somebody Else asserted
that it took the boys twenty minutes
10 get water on the late fire, which
is twice the length of time actually
taken for that purpose. In each
case the firemen did their "Ievel
best" and rendered efficient service
and it Is wrong to blame them for
any failure which may result from
imperfect appliances for exiting fish
ing fire when it has obtained q
good start. The tireme are worthy
Of all praise, and most of our titi.
zens freely accord it to them.

The Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad will begin at once to manu-
facture rails sixty feet i'll length, in
stead of thirty feet as heretofore.
The rails will also be increased in
weight from sixty-eight to seventy
pounds per yard. The decreased
number of joints to care for will
lessen expenses. The weight of q
passenger car has been increased
from $4,000 to As. 900 pounds, and
the parlor Gals now used weigh u.s..
600 pounds. The weight of the
treighs and coal cars has been so fau
increased as to more than double
their former carrying capacity, while
the weight of locomotives has been
increased in proportion. The besr
railroad experts in the country are
said to predict the most satisfactory
results from the longer and heavier
