SEATTLE AND WALLA WALLA RAIL
RoAD.-lt is to be devoutly prayed for.
that the grand scheme being agitated by
Seattle business men and capitalists. to
build narrow guage railroad over the
Cascade mountains via the Snoqualmle
pass to Walla Walla. will be speedily
iLauGurated, and pushed right forward
to consummation. This wonld be the
crowniug salvation Of Eastern Wash
ington. Then might the Northern Pa
OHIO build or not build, all the same :
only We should hope that being fore
stalled by the enterprise of a CONNER
cial city which II sought to ignore by
carrying its terminus to another point
that fact should be sufficient to bar it
from any further pretence to the for
feite1 land grant. As to the means
necessary for constructing a narrow
guage road over the Cascades. let Seat
tie set the ball in motion-capitalists
will be found ready and eager to invest
their thousands III an enterprise which
could not fail of proving a grand sue
Cess. and Of maintaining for Seattle the
ascendency she has acquired. and max
ing her the Queen City Of the Pacific :;
prospering likewise all central and east

tige to Walla Wal a. rs rival queen of

The STEAMER TO GRAY's HARBoR-A
family of hve persons applied yesterday
at the D. X. Il n. office for passage to
Gray's HarbOr by tho steamer Gypsy,
which leaves this week, and other in
quirles for passage were made, SO that
It looks as II she will have her cabin
full. Enough freight has been offered
to make the first trip at least pay ex-
penses. There was formerly considera-
bic trade between Portland and Astoria
and Gray's Harbor. About six months
ago the General Miles, plying between
Astoria and Gray's HarbOr, had to be
Withdrawn aud pat on the Ilwaco route
just then some sailing vessels came into
Gray's Harbor for lumber, and mer
chants there sent orders to San Fran
cisco, simply because there was no traf.
fio communication with Portland. The
sailing vessels we're glad to take freight
at low rates rather than come from San
Francisco in ballast. and the trade has
drifted away from Portland entirely.
The opportunity offers il self to our mer
chants to recover this lost trade. Trips
for the present will be made twice a
month. II the trade justifies, trips will
be made Oftener, and. il necessary, the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company will
put on larger steamer. O'rgonian.

She Took q Hand herself.

In q certain house not over q thou
sand miles from Butte there resides
two nice young men and an elderly
man and wife with several small
children, who are addicted to max
ing a nolse during the night. The
other evening after these two nice
young men had retired they were
awakened several times by the cry
ing of the children. One of the
young men requested the lady to try
and quiet the children, as they dis
turbed his otherwise serene repose.
She endeavored to comply with the
request, but the Children still kept up
their racket. Then in terms more
forcible and elegant the nice young
man reiterated his demand. Then
the husband thought it was time for
him to take q hand, and he proceeded
to thu young mans room to make q
frightful example of him. He was
about getting the worst of it, when
the old lady appeared on the scene,
armed with an article OF household
use, the contents of which she plenti-
fully s~prinkled over the aforesaid
nice young man. It is needless to
say the old couple won the fight and
that the boys put up with the chill
drens' noise for the remainder of the
night.

THE BANTAM SCRAP.
The Coming Hard Glove Fight.

The coming hard glove fight be-
tween Frank Mccormick, champion
light weight of Idaho, and Steve
Burke, of Colorado, will probably be
one of the best fights which has
taken place in Montana, a. both men
are evenly matched and both are
pretty well scienced. Mccormick
has been in the ring some five or six
times and has never been whipped.
The last time he fought was at Sho-
sh0ne, Idaho, when he was put
against a man weighing 175 pounds,
himself weighing but 1872 pounds.
After a long and desperate fight Nc
Cormick won, both me6 being terri
bly, punished. About $4,000 changed
hands on the result. Burke is from
Colorado and is known to have been
in the ring once, in which he was
successful. He seems to be made Of
the right kind of material and will
no doubt give Mccormick a hard
game, although Mccormick at pres
ent seems to be the tavorite. They
have both gone into active training
ana will fight at about Us or 127
pounds. The fight will come off two
weeks from tomorrow and will
prabably take place at the Amphi-
theatre.

Saved His Sheep.

MI. J. E.. O'Connor, who il al
present stopping in Butte, relates a
little experience he had with q band
of sheep, which may be interesting
to parties who contemplate driving
sheep in the direction of the Judith
Basin. About a month ago he pur.
chased near Los Angeles, California,
5000 head of French merinos, pay
ing for them S. a head. he got along
all right until he reached q point
near Pleasant Valley Divide, in Bes-
yer Canyon, and here the trouble
commenced. For a stretch of eight
mics in that neighborhood there
grows a species of fox glove and wild
parsnips, which are rank poison for
sheep. He drove about 200 of them
ahead a mile OF SO, and then started
the entire band on q run, getting
over the poisonous ground with but
tie loss of a few.

Just Missed II.

The Miles City Re ord tells how
near Montana came to losing Judge
Coburn. After the term of court In
Bozeman he visited the National
Park. While he was there a dis
patch was sent to his Indiana home
offering him the Chief ~Justiceship OF
Utah. His wife telegraphed the dis
patch to Helena. 1t was sent back to
Bozeman. Meanwhile congress was
about to adjourn and somebody must
be appointed. His friends reluctantly
withdrew his name and another
man was nominated and confirmed.

Domestic We. Political Economy

From statistics compiled by the
Helena Herald it appears that the
Helena papers + importing nearly
$500, 900 worth Of eatables from the
States. The effect of this exporta-
ton of cash Is being felt in the dis
trict around Helena and the Herald
Is inquirfng what they must do to
stop 1t. It solves the riddle by say
ing let the people patronize home in
stitutions. They will do it when the
home producers reduce their prices
so as to compete with Eastern pro-
ducers. The housewife does not
think of political economy when she
goes to market. If rancho butter is
offered her at fifty cents . pound ana
an equally good quality of States but
ter at twenty-five cents, domestic
economy is the subject she is dis
cussing, and she buys what she can
get cheapest 80 with everyone else.
Home producers. If they would sell
their produce, must sell as low as
producers from abroad. It is hard
for producers accustomed to high
prices to come down to States
prices. They must come to it after
q while.

The Northern Paoifo Railroad.

Of the washout on the Northern
Pacific and the delay in the mails
the Herald says: There was q local
passenger train made up at Glendive
which will arrive at the usual time
from the East. Tomorrow night
the regular through Pacific express,
bringing Eastern mails of Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
will arrive on the usual time. While
several bridges were washed away
on the Northern Pacific east of Glen
dive, the report is not true that eight
miles of track were washed away by
the heavy rains on last Monday. The
telegraph lines were disabled for
eight miles, and that may have given
reason to believe that the road was
disabled for the whole of that dis
lance. Trains from the West are ar
on time.
