VILLARD'S REPORT.
Some Things which He has to Say for
the Country Penetrated by the NOrth-
ern Pacific-.- Montana, Wash.
ingtOn, and Oregon Spoken
of in Glowing Terms.

New YORK, May 17.-President Willard
of the Northern Pacific railroad has returned
/! from his tour of inspection and submitted
his report to the board of directors. He says
that California has been blessed with suf-
ficient rain this year to insure her farmers
larger crops perhaps than ever before.
In Oregon and Washington Territory
about thirty thousand immigrants have set
tied, coming principally from the Eastern,
Middle and Coast States. All the cities and
towns in Oregon and Washington Territory
have greatly improved, business is flourish
ing and there is plenty of ready money.
The crop prospects for Western Oregon and
Eastern Washington are unusually encour-
aging. It is estimated that upwards of $4,000
tons of grain will be garnered in Eastern
Washington and $4,000 tons in Western
Oregon. This is a large increase over any
previous year.
The Oregon and California line will be
completed in thirteen months, giving railroad
connection with the great lakes and st. Paul
and San Francisco by way Of the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon and California sys-
TENS The completion of the latter road
will affect some what the ocean steamships
and the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany. The business has increased SO much
that the facilities of the latter line have been
outgrown. The towns of Seattle and New
Tacoma on Puget Sound have enjoyed extra
growth recently, and they threaten to rival
San Francisco by reason Of their products
and iron resources.
The report further states that Willard was
pleased with the resources OF Montana. At
Helena and Butte City thousands of tons Of
ore are on the dump waiting shipment by
way of the Northern Pacific to Baltimore
and elsewhere. Butte City has nine smelt-
ing works, all of which are at work on high
grade ore.
The condition of the construction is so far
advanced as to insure the completion Of the
road by the end of August.
Merchants on the Pacific coast are with
holding the shipments of their fall supplies
until the completion of the Northern Pacific
road. The tracks are in frst-rate condition,
and trains can be run as fast as As miles an
hour.
St. Paul and Minneapolis real estate has
advanced as high in some cases as aight hun
dred per cent, owing to large purchases of
land by the Oregon and Transcontinental
Company for terminal purposes for Northern
Pacific trains,
In conclusion Willard said that there was
every prospect that the road was about to
enter upon an era of uninterrupted pros
perity.

Proposed Resurrection of Pharaoh's
Host.

The Abbe Moigno advocates the promo

A resident of this city, it is reported, has
come into possession of an interest in dis
covery which, it is said, will dethrone the
woolen capitalists It is process by which
common vegetable ,fibres are converted into
a substitute for wool. For six or seven years
Sidel Brothers, of Zittau, Saxony, have been
experimenting, and German chemist, who
was in their employ, came to this country to
sell the product. Finding, however, that
duty Of sixty per cent. is imposed on the
article, he has entered into negotiations for
the production of it here from the raw MAJ
terial. This abounds in the forests and
waste lands, and is found in inexhaustible
quantities 1t may seem remarkable, but is
strictly in accord with the provisions of ma Il
tnre, that where sheep produce the best and
heaviest wool, the material from which the
substitute is procured is found of the best

Canada Pacific Colonization schemes,

The Canada-Pacifc railroad company and
other capitalists of British North America,
offer to transplant five thousand families,
agg1egating twenty-five thousand persons,
from Ireland to the Canadian Northwest
Territory, if the British Government will
loan 81 100000 without interest, for the pur-
chase of farming outfits for the colonists, the
loan to be guaranteed by the railroad COM
pany and its associates in the enterprise,
They would also provide for the settlement
of fifty thousand persons on the same terms.
The Government, according to Lord CARING
ford, regards the proposition favorably.

Resources of New Mexico.

Inc San francisco Dally E%-
change, one Of the ablest newspa-
pers published OH the Pacific slope,
has the following to say regarding
the resources Of New Mexico
The great Tertio-NIillenial expo
sition now in progress at Santa Fe,
New Mexico, has given visitors
from all parts OF the United States
al idea Of the mineral, agricultural
and industrial products of the Ter
ritory, and indicate what a prom
ising future lies before this rich
country. Southern New Mexico
has always been one OF the greatest
sheep raising sections in the world.
There is something about the grass
and climate that brings the sheep
to a perfection they nowhere else
obtain. In lS62Sthere were ship
ped from Albuquerque $500, 600
pounds of wool, and from the Ter
ritory over 80, coo, 600 pounds.
The profits Of sheep raising are
emormous-almOst incredible. The
wool paws more than the entire cost
of keeping. and the increase Of the
Hocks is all clear profit. One of
the most successful sheep growers
i'll the Territory, who has $4,000
head of sheep, estimates his profit
at 10 per cent. the first year. 30
per cent. the second. 60 Der cent.
the third and so per cent. the
fourth. The present stock and

Another Important industry in
the Rio Grande valley is grape
growing and wine making. The
grape growing belt is about fifty
miles wide and two hundred miles
long. The grape most cultivated
is the Mission variety, and was
brought thither from Spain by the
franciscan fathers 300 wears ago.
They make the best wine at their
mouasteries, and have the best
VINEYARDS, realizing profits averag-
ing several hundred dollars to the
