We have received letter from the
postmaster at MukIlteo. the place Off
cially designated for delaying the mails
on the Skagit river route, indorsine the
Efforts OF this paper TO bring about
through mails to Seattle. he SAYS that
the boats which are supposed by the
post Office to connect with that point do
not very often do 80, and the iuners A
schedule. as bountifully provided fer the
Inconvenience of this county, is subject
to further protraation and disoriminA-
ton against time. Petitions prepared
at each Office, and attention called to
them, would get thousand signatures.
We have before announced that IL in the
desire Of the department to give
through mails on the Sound. All we
have to do Is to petition the department,
and the request will be granted.-Sk1git
NeIes.
The service should be from Seattle
direct, as indicated by our contempt
rary. The boats make this place their
headquarters, and go from here every
trip. They would carry she mail for
the same money as from Mukilteo, and
they would carry it with more expedi-
tlon and reliability. Now the mail for
Stanwood and Skagit river points that
arrives in Seattle Tuesday night from
the south does not go on the boat to those
places until the next Monday, though
in the meantime the boat goes ont on
Thursday. The people have been
for change Ia this matter
for long time past, bat the postal au-
thorities have 50 far not complied.

OREGON AND TRANscoNrISESrAL

NEW YORK, June 27.-The Tribune has
the following: Details of the agree
ment for cancellation of the lease of
the Oregon and California Railroad to
the Oregon and Transcontinental Com
pany have been made. although posses
sion Of the property has not been sur
rendered. Private dispatches from Viii
lard, who recently went to Europe for
this purpose, have been received in this
city, and the terms of the proposed
agreement have been accepted by the
Directors Of the Oregon and Transcon-
tnental Company at the meeting at
Portland, Oregon, and the Transconti-
mental Company Is released from all
liabilities under the lease. and has sur
rendered about $2.200.O00 of Oregon
and California second mortgage bonds,
on condition that the latter company
shall assume all construction accounts
and debts, and pay $406, 900 in cash for
the release of part of the bonds which
have been pledged by the Oregon and
Transoontinental Company. The oon-
struotiou debts are estimated at abou,
100000, SO that the company has sold
$2,200,0O0 Oregon and Caiifornia SEQ
onds At about 35.
Elijah Smith, President of the Ore
gon and Trauscontinal. said yesterday /;
Do we get 35 cents on the dollar for
she bonds Well, that Is more than
thought we could get. l should have
been contented with 25 IL l could not

Vice President and General Manager
Oakes, of the Northern Pacific, has Just
returned ts st. Paul from an extended
trip over the line of the road. He said |:
The business at Portland aud other
places was net as brisk AZ what IL should
be, mainly owing TO the state of affairs
in Wall street and general depression OF
business everywhere. However, the
condition of things was not discourag-
ing. The crops ars in fine condition.
and the yield all along the line will be
large and profitable. The AT airs of tho
road are in first-class shape. The travel
is large, the road in excellent working
order, and the prospects ahead excel
lent. At present there is no construc-
tion work going on. and there will not
be for some time. rhe road is not being
operated TO Seattle. although Mr.. Oakes
passed over from Tacoma to that place
in ,he first train run there. Ii will
likely be some time before trains will
be regularly run to Seattle. The rela-
tions of the Northern Pacific have not
been changed in the least by the late
meeting of the stookho lders of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation. Mat
ters have not been changed In the least
particle, and business is being con-
Quoted according to the old agreement.
Mr.. Cakes stated that he had been
called upon by q resident OF Walla
Walla, W. T., in regard TO having
something done to reduce the rates to
that point from Chicago aud st. Paul.
This gentleman complained that the
people OF the town were obliged to pay
an enormous rate from either Chicago
or st. Paul. so az TO force them TO do
business with Portland. Mr.. Oakes
replied to his visitor that IL Was out of
the power Of the Northern Pacific to do
anything in the matter. as the line did
not extend any further than Wallula
Junction. and there connected with the
Oregon Railway and Navigation. The
latter road was the one having author
ity In the matter. The only way in
which the Northern Pacific could do
anything In the matter would be by
building a line from Wallula to The
Dalles, which would run parallel TO the
Oregon railway. This scheme is not
for moment thought of, as both roads
are satisfied with the present arrange
ment. Friendly relations exist between
both roads and are likely to continue
30 fer a long time.

Railroad Talk.

The weather has been so very bad
during the past week that the citizens
right-of-way committee have not been
able to do n great deal, but their WORK
will be continued in earnest next week.
III. c. Hadley, the claim agent of the
Southern Kansas railway arrived here
last Saturday night and remained until
Thursday morning when he started
back. His visit was for the purpose of
comforting with our citizens and in
structing the committee engaged in Sc
curing the right-of-wayi in Barber coun-
ty. The railroad company has form
used in securing the surrender of right
of-way of their own, in most respects
the same as the form published in the
INDEX last week, but with some differ
ence. Their form had in il five years
option; but by request of our people Mr..
Hadley was authorized to change this to
one year from next January.
In conversation with the INDEX Mr..
Hadley stated that he could give no
more definite information than is already
generally known. He could not say
when the road would be started from At
tica in this direction; he did not know
at what point it would start into the
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1884-12-19
A Cold DAY,

Some of our "tenderfeet" citizens
were complaining Tuesday about what
a cold Gay it was, and yowing that they
never experienced anything equal to it
even back in York State or "Injianny.' -
The conversation occurred in the Pho
neer drug store and would have contin-
ued all day had the genial proprietor,
Eli Smith, who is an old and expert
enced frOntiersmann not told the crowd
how cold it can get in this country.
Said he: 1T was in January 1853, when
l was with party hunting in the vicin-
ity of where Kiowa now stands. The
streams were all frozen through-and-
through; we were out of meat and the
weather was so cold we couldn't use
our guns. We were about to starve,
and We had to resort to ingenuity, and
as necessity is the mother Of invention.
a happy idea struck me. There was
plenty of game such as jack-rabbits,
antelope, deer and bears; but as before
remarked it was too cold to hunt them.
So what did we do? Well, we had a
large bulls-eye lantern along, and this
] filled up and started over the bright,
crisp snow to level place down the
river, about quarter from camp. The
other boys thought was crazy, but l
told them to wait.
Well, l put the lantern down and
went back to camp. Next morning |
told the boys to hitch up the team and
we would go down and haul in the game.
Just to please me they hitched up, and
when we got to where the lantern was,
there were about 300 rabbits, an old
bear and three cubs, half dozen ante.
lope and lots Of other small game-all
circled around the lantern, not dead but
with their heads pinioned to the ground,
being held there by the icicles that had
formed from their eyes.
You see the animals would be at
tracted by the intense light, which was
reflected great distance over the snow
crust, and would gather in circle
around the lantern in mute astonish-
ment at the free picnic they were having.
BY and by their eye-balls would begin
to water from the intensity of the light,
and as drop after drop rolled down, il
formed an icicle from the ground up,
which finally froze solid TO the eye-balls
and there we had EN-"
At the conclusion of this thrilling re.
cital, Col. Brand and Judge O'Bryan
disappeared through a door leading
west; Jim Hale said he always did hate
small liar; Mr.. Kinkaid sneaked on;
without saying word, and DIR. Burney
wrote out prescription for Eli which
he handed to Sam Northcraft with thu
remark, Make him take it every hour, =
and then the store was clear of all hui.
mainly save Sam and the store cat.

corporate limits of the town, and he be-
lieyed that the company had not yet
determined on this last question. His
instructions were to come here and as
sist the citizens in getting started off
''on the right foot" in procuring the
right OF way, so that when this labor is
once completed, it will not be necessary
for the entire work TO be gone over
again. He said that after the right-of-
way has been secured, that the work
then must be submitted to the directors
of the road in the east, and they are the
ones to determine when work shall be
commenced, and where it shall end.
Mr.. HadleY appears to be a careful,
painstakIng business man, with none of
the sensational about him, and he very
sensibly suggested that it would be bet.
ter for our people not to go wild over
the prospects of railroad coming here
before the grass is green. He said that
while the indications all point to Medi-
cine Lodge as the probable terminus of
the Southern Kansas road inside of a
year, nothing may be done in the matter
for two years. At the same time he
commended the energy of our people in
being prepared to act whenever called
upOn
