which was listened to with the deepest interest the
Faculty of the University came upon the platform
and were introduced 10 him. President Porter then
called upon Chamcey NJ Depew, the president of
the Yale Alumni Association, for speech.

Surveys.

There are several quite large tracts
of land in this land district that should
be surveyed at once, and why there is no
appropriation made and allotted to these
surveys in North Idaho We are at loss
to understand. Settlers are coming into
North idaho quite rapidly, and more
would come could they know where sur
veyed Government lands were situated in
this land district. The surveyed portions
have been rapidly absorbed, especially the
choice locations. We know of about FIVE
townships in one body Of as good land as
can DO found in this district, that arc un-
surveyed. We refer to the lands form
ing the delta between Salmon and Snake
rivers. As many more townships are
situated east Of the South Fork of Clear
water, and several are in the delta between
the Middle and South fork of the same
stream, and several townships are unsur-
veyed east of the present surveys on the
Potlatch. 1t is of great importance that
these surveys be made

QUERRY.

Why did not Mr.. Willard tell the peo-
pie of Portland thesame as he did those Of
Seattle and Yakima (by letter. that he
was going to commence the construction
of the Cascade branch west from the Pa
louise junction on or before the first of
next October? We suppose it would
not have pleased Portland audience,
who were only anxious to have such facts
set forth as would bring water to their
mill. Again. How docs Mr. Willard
expect to encourage the people of Port
land, as he did in his speech, to hope for
the trade of the upper Columbia basin
when his branch is built across the Cas-
cades to Tacoma? One thing is appar-
ent, to-wit: MIR. Willard and his coadju-
tiers are doing largely for the northwest,
and he is to be commended for his energy,
But many of his promises are too full
some to be fully accredited by intelligent
and independent thinkers, and with men
OF less diligence they inspire such
hopes as lead to much disappointment,
aud in many instances consequent loss.

THE CASCADE BRANCH OF THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC.

In answer to the question propounded
by Judge Burke of Seattle:
"Why has not the Cascade division Of
the Northern Pacific railroad been built
or its construction ever begun
Mr. Willard says in answer as follow. !:
''That the survey and searches for
practicable routes that have been carried
on for many years were only brought to
successful conclusion late last fall when
it was altogether too late to think of COM
mencing work. Then at no time,
no matter what may have been
said by public men to the CONTRARY, the
work Of preparation, that is, of survey
ing and locating line, was not advanced
sufficiently until last October to begin
work. Here You have the simple reason
why the work has not Progressed for
some years on the Cascade division, that
is, we are not ready to begin it,
In answer to letter from editor of
Yakima Signal sent to Mr.. Prescott up
on the same subject, Mr.. Willard writes:
"Our plans contemplate the commenc-
ment of this work from Palouse June
ton westward from the Tacoma and east
ward before the first of October of this
year.
The work has not been undertaken
earlier for various reasons, the most i'm
portant being the incompleteness of the
surveys that have been progressing for
two years past and the herculean labor of
connecting the two ends of the main line
The surveys are now sufficiently COM
plete, and the gap between the two ends
s, far shortened, We feel assured of our
ability to turn our attention to this Cas-
cade work by the time indicated"
We accept the above as the present
purpose of the CON- If we remember right
ly when Mr.. Willard was west some Is
months ago, he publicly intimated that
said branch would not be constructed fer
five or eight years. But We suppose he
has seen on his turn that the branch is
imperatively needed

WHAT WILLARD SAID IN LEW
IATON.

In the short colloquy with the editor
Of the TELLER and few citizens, Mr..
Willard said that the TELLER had mis-
represented him in saying that he had
ever promised a railroad up Snake river
70 Lewiston. He was answered that the
chief engineer of location was understood
to have said in Walla Walla more than
one year ago to the TELLER man that
Lewiston would have railroad during
the ensuing two years and the inference
vas that it would be an extension of the
Texas Ferry road, and that it would be
up Snake river, and several reports had
reached here that surveyors had COM
menced up the river. Mr. Willard re
Piled that at one time it was contemplated
to build from the Texas branch up the
Pataha, thence to Lewiston, bat subse-
quent surveys had shown that the grades
from the Pataha across to Lewiston were
too heavy, and that examinations of the
margin Of the Snake river had disclosed
the fact that the cost Of railroad up the
river would be very great, some s35, 900
or $4,000 per mile and that the bust
ness would not warrant the payment of
the interest on the money. He was then
told that if said road was extended up
the Clearwater and through the Bitter
Root mountains to connection East,
such road would pay. lie then said
his ensi neers reported the pass very diff
fcult and expensive and that the local
traffic would not be sufficient to justify,
He was then told that his engineers had
never been through the pass contemplated
BY the citizens here, but the people here
had sent q surveyor through the Beall
PAn and be had reported good practical
bic pass with easy and low grades and We
were satisfied that The character Of the
country through which such a road would
pass, was far better for local support Of

Now, the Norwegians have everywhere

mindful people, and !, for one, dislike tc

talk Why, if Hanson, of Genesee

there is no need of the other Hansons
feeling offended, because the said Hanson

cannot see where anyone is hurt, for it is
too well known they cannot be hired to
lie, that has been tried, yet we are all liza
bic to be fooled by smooth-tongue shar-
pers; any way as long as We cant read
English and many dollar has the over
confidential Norman lost by shsrpers and
agents.
But let us talk about something of
more common interest, We are trying
to make living on the farm; our wheat
is smutty and run out, our oats and bar
ley are diminishing in yield, because the
seed has been sowu too long without
changing, and We Norwesians or any
other wegian ought not to continue to
sowing bad seed, unless we are contented
with bad harvest; We must try grasses
tor pasture; we must try some Thorn
or tree shrub for hedges; we must get
hardy fruit and ornamental trees; we
must make our homes beautiful, attrac-
tive, remunerative and happy, and then
cultivate happiness and good will around
us. To do all this would not take long if
we each year try some new seeds the
cost would be SO very small compared
with the good We may and will gain, if
you, my friend, can get better seed
than is now in use, then your neighbors
will pay you three prices, and thank you
for better seed. AS general thing it
is hard to get new varieties Of grains in
small quantities without tremendous
pay, but Hiram, Sibley 4 Co., Chicago,
will send you any seed from ID potat .
to scryisberry seed, and just as much or
little as you want; they handle every
seed that has name, and they are the
cheapest, the most prompt, and the most
gentlemanly firm | ever dealt with.
have dealt in 80 cts sums with them;
am not their agent, but can heartily re-
commend them to do just as they promise
and comply with your wishes at once, not
keep you waiting. This | think is a

seeds each year; have some now. Send
for catalogue. Respectfully,

THE o. 8. L. TO COME TO LEWIS
TON VIA SNAKE RIVER.
The Grand Ronde Post has the fol

The Grand Ronde Post has the fol
lowing:
From " II I'll Knight, who has re-
Gently arrived from railroad operations on
Burnt river, We learn that humber is be-
ing put on the ground for the o. s. l..
bridye across Snake river There are no
Oregon short Line men on this side of
the river. He states it to be the general
impression of the railroad men that the
y. 5, l.. will be built down Snake river.
and that work will soon commence in
that direction
Again correspondent of the Portland
Ne,cs says under date:
"HUNTINuToS, April 25.-This town
is situated i'll Baker county, Oregon, on
Burnt river, and will probably be the
junction of the Oregon Short Line and
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany. 1t is two miles from Snake river.
and though merely village at the pres
ent, promises well for the future. In
former years the town site was known
generally as the "NIiller Stage Station. +"
The Huntington brothers, for whom the
t.wa was named, are the proprictors of
that line. Some people still incline to
the belief that the junction will be made
at Baker City, some fifty miles northeast
OF this point, but it is known that the
Short Line surveyors are working in the
Snake river canyon between Huntington
and Lewiston, and are preparing skitfs
for the Summer survey down Snake riv-
err We can therefore form no other
opinion than that the Short Line will be
built via Lewiston to Puget Sound
This, of course, means that Baker City
will not be the junction. Huntington is
the only place at the Snake river crossing
at all suitable for town, The reason for
this is, that the line follows the general
course of the Snake river on the Idaho
side in a sharp canyon, twelve miles up to
the bridge site, and at that bridge there
is room for but only one line. The
Short Line has contracted for all the ma
terial at that place, and intends to build
the bridge as soon as the water falls. 1t
her 3tores seem plain that thu junction
VII not be above the crossing in Idaho"
1t is we'll known that the o S L grad
ing between the Shoshone junction and
Snake river opposite the mouth of Burnt
river is nearly completed, and when Mr..
Knight says that work will soon be in
that direction down Snake river) he
gives lis to understand that as soon as
the graders, now operating east of Snake
river, have reached the river, they will
be set at work grading down the river
towards Lewiston, and perchance \ por-
ton of that force may commence opera
tons at Lewiston and grade up the river
Long before the graders complete their
grade to the Snake, the surveyors will have
finished their survey through the canyon
from Lewiston to the mouth of Burnt
river, and their plats be returned to the
Office at Omaha, and estimates made so
that grading contracts can be let intelli-
gently. Each additional item of intelli
gence received in reference to the move
mcnts of the 0 s l. increases the faith of
our people in the purpose of that com
pany to push ON towards Puget Sound
via Lewiston.

Willard 8 vI6IT TO LEWISTON

On Saturday morning dispatch wa
received By Agent Vol'mer, from Gen
Prescott, to the effect that Mr.. Nillare
and party would probably reach Lewis
ton on Sunday afternoon, and requesting
carriages to be secured for the party Il
60 to A,mota via Moscow and Coifax
Mr.. Vollmcr Immediately tclegraphod
back to know, if possible, how long stay
he could make at Lewiston, SO that prop
CT arrangements could be made by our
City Council and citizens generally to
tender to him and the party the welcome
Of the city. But no telegram could be
sent past the Dayton Office till late in the
afternoon, and late that evening a reply
came tha, they would start from Riraria
at am, and that they would not pro-
eecd to Moscow till Monday. What time
the steamer would arrive here We could
not learn, nor could We learn when she
passed Almota, and thus we were all in the
dark, till the boat rounded the point just
below thcto The City Counciland many
citiscns had made preparations to meet
the party at the steamers wharf boat
and when the whistle was heard, the
City Council and many citizens repaired
TO the wharf boat. and as soon as the
boat was made fast, the Council was in
readiness to 20 aboard and extend to him
the welcome of the city and, if he dcsir-
Cd, to induce him to say a few
things encouraging or otherwise A
hall was in readiness for him. But
no person, save the agent was per-
mitted to 60 en- board, and he inform
ed the Council that he would 60 on board
and lesrn the purposes of the party dur
ing their stay here. The agent soon re-
turned and reported that Engineer Thiel-
son was quite i'll and asked for physician
and that Mr.. Willard was fatigued and
could not meet the Council that evening
but that he would remain over Monday
and would be glad to meet the people
during that day at the hotel Monday
morning was very rainy and at . o'clock
am. the City Council were notified that
the steamer was to return with the party
At 10 I'm. and that he was about to en-
ter carriage and be driven through the
city, thus affording our citizens no
opportunity to meet the gentleman in any
public manner. He rode up through the
city, and on his return, the carriage halt
Cd and the agent called us, and personal
ly introduced us to Mr.. Willard, Senator
Dolph and Mr.. kohlcr of the party. We
then advised and urged that he extend
his time Of remaining till IL m. and we
would have our citizens generally at the
public hall and give to him a formal re-
eeption, and hear what, if anything, he
had to say encouraging or otherwise to
Us. But he had already tclegraphed to
have train meet him at Riparia and he
could not remain later than 10 am. He
however wheeled his carriage and rode to
Mr.. Vol liners store, ahghted and had
few words to say in reference to the in
forests Of this place, to about 20 persons
who happened to be present, and then
