RAILWAY d NAVIGATION NEWS.

The Railway Age says it is estimated
that the gross earnings of the Northern
Pacific Railroad will be at the rate of
100000 per annum from the date OF its
regular opening for through pass niger
and freight business, with the ce.tainty
of constant increase apacc with the geu-
eral growth OF the tributary States and
Territories.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny have just issued for free distribution "A
pamphlet descriptive of Yellowstone Park.
1t is splendid specimen of the engrav
er's and printers art, and the descriptive
portion is very fine. The illustrations
will compare favorably with the best in
Harper's or the Century Magazine.
The Atlantic and Gulf Canal and Okee-
chobee Land and Drainage Company,
composed chiefly of Philadelphia capital
lists, has received from the State OF Flori-
da 535 1885 acres of land, located in the
southern part of the peninsula, for the re-
clamatlon work carried on IN that region.
The company has reclaimed near 1,500,-
900 acres OF land in Florida, and is still
buslly at work.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company
is having four swift iron propelors built
on the Clyde, Scotland, tor Lake Super
ior line between Algoma mills, on Geor-
gian Bay. and Port Arthur, the present
Eastern end of the railway. They are
modelled after the famous swift Irish mail
steamers. They will be run across the
Atlantic and up the St. Lawrence to the
lakes, but 1t is thought. that some diff
Guilty will be experienced in bringing
them through the canals. The first one,
the Athabasca, has been launched.

decidedly opposed to too close an inter-
course with their sharp and active friends

displayed of late once with the project
for the Kootenay railway, and on the
to build one or two railroads to Belling-

UP THE COAST.

We took the train at Cotton, Lower
California, upon warm and dusty day
en- route for Puget Sound, seeking health
and q cooler cline - exchanging the
orange orchards and grape vineyards Tor
the more invigorating air OF q Northern
climate. Perhaps few items along the
way will be of interest to the readers OF
the ENTERPRISE. We pass in a few
hours time from beautiful garden into n
desert, hot and dusty, which, for the lack
OF water, is useless, but could it he sup
piled with it, could BIZ made as lovely as
the Garden Of Eden, as has been abund
antly proved by the colonies which are
artiicially supplied with water.
We pass up and down grades, among
the mountains, aid pass much lovely and
r"re scenery. which an artist might covct
Sometimes two and three engines puff
and snort as they drag up their heavy
load. Slowly, but surely, We ascend, our
train zig zaging along the mountains like
some huge serpent even creeping through
them. The air in this altitude is lovely
to breathe-so light and SO exhilarating.
The friendly face of our old friend, the
moon, looks in at the car window, and
looks so homelike and cOmf0rta5le that we
pronounce the mountai air decided sue
cess, though we do hold our breath as W.
pass the highest ridge, Tehachapec pass,
where that dreadful accident occurred a
few months ago, aud we wonder il the
brakesmen are fully alive to their duty
and will not let our train slip backward
and hurl US into eternity before our
allotted time. We pass 10 safety, hew-
ever, and next morning are landed in
MERGED county, famous tor its enormous
wheat ranches. The grain is mostly cut,
and we pass four, six and eight horse
teams, hauling grain to the stations,
where they remind us of cord WOOD
stacked up. We see horses six and eight
abreast, cutting grain. A gentleman on
the seat ahead of US, who lives in this sec.
ton, tells US they cut, thrash and clean
the wheat as the machine goes, filing
gunny sacks with wheat at the back part.
The houses are far apart, but the wind.
mill and cluster OF trees around it iorcibly
remind US of Illinois and Iowa.
In the afternoon VT catch our first sight
of salt water, and feel the cool air OF the
ocean. We are comfortably carried over
the ferry at San Francisco by the Ialatial
ferry-Loat, which is only mared by the
chatter of hackmen. We have three days in
which to do the city. We visit the market
