A GOOD REPORr.

B. s. Cook, an Eastern banker, who
was ont here last month, and went east
on the first train over the completed
Northern Pacific, was interviewed in st.
Paul. He told the Pioneer Press repor-
ter that he went out over the Union Pa
cific, and returned to St. Paul in
the first through train of the North
ern Pacific, from Portland. Mr.. Cook
was travelling for pleasure. and as oon-
seq aence VS. very observant of the
country through which he pissed. The
Union Pacific il poorly equipped. and
the roadbed in many places is exceed
ingiy rough. The Northern Pacific, on
the other hand. could not have more
comfortable accommoda lens: and the
riding. considering the road has Just
been completed, il wonderfully easy,
and far SURPRISES that over the Union
Pacific. The countries adjoining the
two roads are also widely different. The
Union Pacific towns all appear dead,
while those along the line of the com-
ps.iug line are full of life. and greatly
resemble large cities because of their
business pros. ..erity.
The increase IT business consequent
npen the corapletion of the new trans
continental line is astonishing. Large
foreign vessels. both from Europe and
South Americs. have souad their way
10 Portland and Puget Sound. At the
former place. Mr.. Coos said, two Eur
pean vessels lay waiting for the cemple.
tiog of the harvest. while at Puget
Snand dnzsn or more from the four
quarters of the globe were loading with
lumber. The Sound promises to be the
great shipping point af the coast, and
will doubtless take from San Francisco
much of its present ocean trade. To
reack San Francisco nearly every vessel
has to pass the Straits of San Juan de
Fuca. and as they run directly TO the
S,und, il will he greatly to the advan-
tage OF the shipper to run In there. as
by 80 doing muoh time ~ saved. The
business men Of San Francisco have
awakened to this fact. aud are doing
what they can to offset the opening of
the Northern Pacific. They see that
this result is inevitable unless they are
prepared for the emergency, and are
consequently dsing what they can to
hold their own.
Tho waters of the Sound are sniff
ciently deep to admit the passage OF the
heaviest vessels; and. as the Northern
Pacific il doing everything in its power
to break 'Frisco's monopoly. il cannot
be long before the desired result is ac-
complished. Several Asiatic vessels
have already found their way to one OF
more of the Northern Pacific termini,
and the indicstions are that hundreds
of others will follow in rapid succession.
The immense lumber trade along the
Sound nov draws hither all South
American vessels visiting that locality
Portland Mr.. Cook further says, prom.
ises TO be the great wheat shipping cen
ter OF the coast.

of the inquiry had not yet
been arranged, but generally speaking
it would be conducted in manner
to get at the bottom facts Among
the most important things to be considered
was whether the changes in the plans had
been sufficient to vitiate the contract, and
also, whether or not the contract would hold
