ton to Dayton.
Lewiston officials wholly deny the safe
ment of the Lewiston correspondent of the
North West Nens, regarding deputies and
assistants in Lewiston.
The Post-Inteilgsncer and the Tacoma
LsGger, entertain widely different views as
to the Interpretation of Wizards speech re-
gar,ins where the terminus of the Northern
Pacific will be on the Sound, whether at
Tacoma or Seattle.

RESIGNED. On Friday last Jacob Hoover
Representative elect from Whitman county
W. T., sent his resignation to the Governor
at Olympia having taken up residence in
Idaho. We suppose friend Hopkins thinks
he has resigned both Hoover L Burke by his
repeated alusion to their having left the
Territory, and he must therefore be happy.
USFoRruNA NATE Monday was rainy day
and was very unproritious for tho Willard
party to visit the country around Lewiston
| as they had intended. Hence they saw
| comparatively no part of the area OF the val
liable lands that contribute to the support
of this place This was unfortunate both
for us, in the way Of making full representa-
tions of our advantages abroad, and for them
in determining what advantages we possess
for them to invest money in giving us roads.
Thanks to Frank Dodge, who came up on
the Baker Sunday evening, for copy of the
Oregonian of Saturday morning. The paper
of the same date arrived by express on Tues
day when the mail arrived. This delay Of
mail and express is constant. If the mail
could leave Dayton in the morning at six
o'clock and reach here the same evening, as
it ought to 90, we would be the gamer by is
hours in the receipt of our mails. The whole
schedule is all wrong and we hope Agent
Simpson will urge up our petition which
was forwarded some weeks ago.
J PROBABLE CHANGE OF RouTa. Under the
above caption the Boise Statesman of the
25th nit, says upon the authority of Mr..
Goodall of Union county, Oregon, that a
new survey is being made for the O. r. 4 n,
s Cos route from Meacham Station on the
Blue mountains, bearing south of the entire
Grand Rond valley and coming out to the
old survey at the upper Powder river and
possibly may pass south of Baker City aud
reach Burnt river considerably above where
the Baker City stage road to Boise intersects
Burnt river If this new survey be adopted
the towns in Grand Ronde valley and per
, haps Baker City will be like many other
thriving towns left out in the cold.
SALE OF CATTLE. 4 Sayers made
sale of about 900 cattle, last week, to some
,, Portland meu, at $25 per head for all of the
band one year old and upwards. The Port
land market ha. not been well stocked with
beef cattle for several months, and beef has
recently been shipped from California to
Portland and even as far as The Dalles
Heretofore the great bulk of our surplus
cattle have been driven to the railroad be-
tween kelton and Cheyenne and shipped
, East by the cars or placed upon ranches t.
, fatten for future shipment.
PORTLAND LOOKING TOWARDS TIE Sound
Y Articles of incorporation have been flee
by II L, Pittock, proprietor of the Oregoaia,
Charles p. Church and Robert f. Bybec, n
the Terminal Land Company, to lay out
town site near Tacoma, w. T., and deal gen
orally in real estate in that vicinity. Thi.
+ looks very much like the abandonment %
7 hope in these men in regard to Portland he
' coming the great city of the Northwest
Pretty soon many of the wealthy men o
Portland will transfer their wealth to Pug
ct Sound and will show their good sense il
so dom !,
