SURVEYING THE STAMPEDE PAss.-A
letter from Melrose. W. T.. says that
the Northern Pacific Surveying party,
which started recently to locate line
over the Cascades, are pushing ahead
With vigor. Two parties, numbering in
all Is men, are in the field. One party
il canped on Green river and the other
on South Prairie creek. The line they
are running commences at point on
the Puyallup branch, about % miles
from Tacoma, and runs thence across
the mountains by way of Stampede
Pass, which is down Green river. The
engineers think the best grade and
most practicable line can be secured by
this route. The survey will be com
pleted about September next.-Orego-

An Eastern Lady Calls Upon Profess

OF the Flowers.


EDITOR HRRALD-Dear Sir, In your
valuable paper Of the issue of january
5th I noticed with pleasure the caption
Of an article entitled "a New Years
Bouquet" Being an Eastern lady and a
lover Of flowers, whose sight has not
been gladdened by view of them grow
ing wild in mid winter, in their natural
state, commenced to read the aforesaid
article with great avidity. But with the
most profound respect for the learned
Professor, whose intentions doubtless
were to please sll, especially
the Eastern .ojourners here, and
to enlighten them upon the subjec. of
the article, must co isss, after peru
sal Of the same. tha am to-day disap-
pointed in my anticipation Of obtaining
information Of what the flowers are
which he refers to. and my disappcint-
ment is shared by many others who
have not the advantages Of thorough
botanical education, or an encyclopedia
Of reference to unlock the mysterious
words you have printed, and yet ! love
flowers, and very ouch desire to know
the English names so scientifically class.-
fed.
viii the Professor be kind enough to
enlighten this unfortunate!
