Combination Of Railroad interests,

A recent dispatch from New York says
For the past few days there have been sew
eral meetings in this city of the officers of
the Northern Pacific railroad company, and
the O. r. & N. company on one side, and
the Union Pacific railroad company on the
other, with view of arranging through
rates and dividing the territory in harmony
with the interests in the various CONNER
cial territories jointly reached by the two
systems. The final meeting yesterday re-
suited in satisfactory arrangements to both
companies, covering term of years, the
chief points of which are substantially as
follows:
First-Upon the completion of the
Northern Pacific railroad to Little Black
foot, Montana territory, a point about forty
eight miles west of Helena, where it inter
eepts the Utah & Northern, and which
point will be reached some time in July,
tie Northern Pacific railroad will lay three
rails between Helena and Little Blackfoot,
and the Utah & Northern will also lay a
third rail between Little Blackfoot and
Butte City, distance of fifty-one miles,
giving each line through rail connection
with the most important cities of Montana.
The distance from Chicago to Helena via
the Northern Pacific will be 1866 miles, and
by the Union Pacific 1857 miles. The dis
tance from Chicago to Butte by the North
| ern Pacific will be l648 miles, and by the
Union Pacific 1853 miles.
Second-The Oregon Short Line will be
extended to Snake river where it will be met
by the O. R. & N. Co. where the business
for the Pacific coast will be interchanged.
Third-Upon the junction of the Oregon
Short Line with the o. r. & N. Co. at Snake
| river, freight between the Pacific coast and
Salt Lake will be interchanged by the new
route
Fourth-Freight Between Colorado and
the Pacific coast will also be interchanged
| by the new route.
| Fifth-Passenger rates between all east
| ern points and Portland, Or, will be the
same as between the some eastern points
and San Francisco.
Sixth--Rates of freight between the Pa
cifc coast and points in Montana will be
| the same as the rates from St. Paul. A
/ representive of the Union Pacific says that
the opening of that road into Montana will
make large reduction in the rates oi
| freight and fares to all important points ii
that territory.

Quite Sick.

Judge F. A. Chenoweth left Corvallis last
week for his farm in Kings Valley. He
went as far as Souver's station on the rail
road and undertook to walk from there a
distance of ten or twelve miles to the farm,
which he did. After arriving there he par
took of much more exercise than it was usu-
al for him, and on last Friday became quite
sick, having something like conjestive
chill which we have been informed came
near being fatal He still remains at his
farm unable to get back to town, but at last
accounts he had improved SO far as to be
able to sit up little.

Vacuum Rotor.

A meeting of the directors of the Motor
company was held last Tuesday evening at
this place, the principal object being to es-
tablish. a branch Office at Portland, which
was done. Mt. Seafort the inventor was
authorized to act as manager and Nathan
Whealdon secretary. The stock appears to
bear a good price. The original shares
which once sold for 81 each after having
been made into so shares for each original
one on the latter basis, have been selling
some times for from three to four dollars
and some times five dollars each so that ac-
cording to those figures it makes the stock
which was once represented by one original
share and which sold for one dollar, now
passes in the market for from $3.50 to $3.50
Such sales however are probably only in
occasional instances. In the majority of
instances the original share made into forty
shares of a0atered stock generally sells when
at all at about ten dollars each: It has been
thought by some that there has been effort
not on the part of the company but by in
dividual stock holders to create boom in
the stock whether it is true or not we
know not. 1t is not definitely ascertained
when the trial machine will be done but ii
is expected to be finished as soon as the
workmen can do it. We hope it will be a
success if so it will revolutionize the world
in the matter of power. We understand
that the company will put a lot more Of the
common stock on the market in accordance
with resolution of the board in order to
get more funds with which to complete the
trial machine.
