Despite the general dullness Of trade the
business of the Northern Pacific during the
month of October was larger than that of any
previous month in the history of the road, the
earnings aggregating sl,46l, 276. This was, of
course, due largely to the heavy shipments Of
grain and cattle, and had the prices for wheat
been of proportions better calculated to tempt
farmers to sell, this amount would undoubted-
ly have been much larger.

We left the vessel IL our dorv, the

open right on TO the river. Here we
have q grand chance to study the do

pass a narrow, deep channel in the

the other. Here the sea breeze Is
broken and the stream is still as pond.
There is no sound except the plash of
our oars or the occasional whistle of a
