THERE SCENE to be a tendency on
the part Of the railroads operating in
the Northwest. to arouse from the
lethargy in which they have been re-
posing. A number Of important
sales and leases have been effected
during the past week. J. J. Hill has
yielded up to the Burlington people
a block Of 10000 shares of the Mani

are branching out with the Missouri
river as the present terminal point.
The pushing forward Of railroad n
terprises, seems to point toward the
relaxing of the grip on the money
market, and the renewal of confidence
among capitalists.

HE future prospects Of Great Falls
grow brighter every day. It's i'm
mense and available water-power, ea-
cellent coal and iron deposits, the
surrounding area Of agricultural and
grazing lands, are attracting atten-
ton from capitalists and manufactur-
ers IN every section OF the country.
The putting into action Of certain
schemes within the next eighteen
months is likely. A man gifted with
ordinary horse sense, by closely watch
ing the drift Of events can readily see
that all this smoke means a little fire.
In the face Of this it is paralyzing to
hear the arguments advanced by some
people III their vain attempt to down

the matter over with the President.
but he refused to talk, and gave them
to understand that his proclamation
must be obeyed.

off the Capitol, where they will be
viewed by thousands who were ia
miliar with his face in life.
Gen. Grants death was generally
known inathis city before 8 o'clock on
Thursday morning. The President
was among the first to receive the sad
intelligence. He was sitting in the
Library persulng the morning papers
when an alarm was sounded on the
executive telephone. Col. Lamont,
who at that moment arrived at his
desk, answered the cal, which came
from the Office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. The news that
Gen. Grant had died was Immediate
ly conveyed to the President. He APP
peared deeply moved and expressed
his unbounded sympathy for the Gen
erals family. A few moments later
the President received a dispatch
from Col. Fred Grant, stating that
his father had died at eight o'clock
The President thereupon sent a dis
patch Of coincidence, which was trans
iHltted 10 AlfS. Grant.
By 8 o'clock nearly all the daily
newspapers had issued extras, and
the church bells throughout the city
We're tolling. Flags upon the White
House and all the public buildings
and many private establishments

A GRAND FUNERAL PAGEANT.

III which he says that the parade will
be the grandest military spectacle this
city eve saw. General Hancock is
m~agnifcently fitted to organize, and
is hard at work; he will leave nothing
undone. It was a good thing to do
to place these things in his hands.
General Sherman gave this explana-
ton Of why be thought New York
had been given preference oven Wash
ington as g place Of burial: 'The
Grant family will continue to live il
New York, and they want the Gener-
ais tomb to be here. [ think that is
the feeling Of the family, and when

ABSOLUTELY REFUSE.

A San Francisco dispatch dated
August LIST, says: The difficulty be-
tween the Pacific Mail and the Wash
ington postal authorities, eliminated
this morning in the absolute refusal
by the company to carry the mails for
Central and South American ports ex-
cepting those for Mexico and Costa
Rica, from which countries the Pacific
Mail receive a subsidy. The refusal
was brought about by Postmaster
Backus sending the mail, consisting
Of twenty-five sacks, to the company's
Office in charge Of a clerk who had
been instructed to proceed this morn
ing on board the steamer Colima with
them Is baggage. This action was
taken by the direction Of the Post

ing dispatch:

CEDAR RAPIDS. Iowa, FEB. 26, 1885

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, FEB. 26, 1885.
Editor of the HAzoO:
DEAR SIR: / read in the BAzoo of Feb
ruary 22nd, the letter entitled, 'An Oregon
Echo" with much surprise. The article re-
ferred to by Mr.. Frazier was written by
your city editor after a conversation with
me about the Great Northwest" and truly
contains some defects of detail, las is
natural since it did not come directly from
an eye witness) but in the main, the article
of January 9th, is true. Mr.. Frazier finds
fault chiefly with the statements concern
ing the degree of temperature during the
famous blockade and concerning the
place in which it occurred. We
had spirit thermometer hang
ing outside of the train all through
our imprisonment OF three weeks
and it fell las I said) at times, to from 40
10 go degrees below zero. The readers of
the BAzoo remember to have seen these
figures mentioned in the reports from the
train at that time. But / particularly
wish TO speak of my Statement so ridicu-
lousy false, that to mention it would Seem
enough" 1t was that the blockade was at
the Dalles. Mr.. Frazier says the Dalles is
a city of 5000 inhabitants, ETC., and tri-
umphly asks: "What is the matter with
Mr.. Hurd" adding that he has lived in
Oregon 10 years. Mr.. Frazier evidently
has much to learn in the geography, even
of his own state. Every school boy knows
that the Dalles, as commonly spoken of,
are a series of romantic and perilous"
rapids in the Columbia river, extending for
some miles from what is known as the Lit
tie Dalles, and the Dalles proper. The
snow blockade happened somewhere on the
line bordering on the Columbia) between
these points. The FIVE or six hotels in the
city OF the Dalles have nothing to do with
the history of the blockade, as none of us
enjoyed them, and it certainly proves
nothing as regards the inaccuracy of the
made. We are willing to be
corrected, but critic should never allow
his zeal to lead him to misinteTpret.
Respectfully yours,
CHAs. s. HURD.

The Great Flankcr FIanked.

When General Sherman's army
was at Goldsboro, n. C., General
Sherman made a visit TO the head
quarters of General Howard. While
there he felt the need of small
draught of whisky to drive off the
malarial effects Of the climate on
his system. Now all Of the officers
of the army knew of General How
ards rigid temperance proclivities,
and were strict in their respect for
them. General Sherman knew there
was no whisky in General Howard's
quarters, and, therefore, did not
mention his wants Presently DIR.
John Moore, the Medical Director.
came in, and, after a little conver-
sation, General Sherman gave him
the wink and said; Doctor, have
you a seidliiz powder in your quar-
tiers ?" The Doctor answered that he
had. General Howard said: Gen
eral Sherman, it is not necessary to
go to the doctors quarters, have
plenty OF seidlitz powders here, and
good ones, too. / will get you one"
II there was anything in General
Howard's quarters that General
Sherman did not want it was
seidlitz powder, and, therefore. he
said to General Howard: Never
mind, General. Give yourself no
trouble" Howard was then getting
the powder and glasses of water
ready.) 81 will be going by Moore's
quarters after while" DR.. Moore
was a great wag, and quickly took in
the situation and became party to
the Joke on General Sherman by
the way, General, | don't think /
have seidlitz powder in my quar-
tiers, and you had better take the
one General Howard has" By this
time General Howard had the pow
der all ready for use and handed
the glasses 20 General Sherman.
Rather than offend Howard by say
ing he meant whisky he drank the
foaming stuff, much to his own dis
gust, to the satisfaction of General
Howard and to the amusement OF
the staff officers.
