BOARD OF TRADE OF PORTLAND.

Feb. 8.-Mr. Goldsmith introduce
resolutions denunciatory of the Northern
Pacific railroad company in failing to
build road from Wallula Junction to
Portland, in selling lands contrary to the
spirit Of law and in entering pool combin

declare the grant given the Northern
Pacific railroad company fortified, the
lands thrown open to sale and the pro.
ceeds to be used in constructing locks at
the Cascade and The Dalles.
The mover recited ia brief the history
Of the Northern Pacific railroad company
and its refusal so far to build down the
Columbia river to Portland, as contem-
plated in its grant, and its present ex,

HO! FOR sIMILKAMEEN,

In every locality on the coast parties
are Quitting for the Similkameen gold
mines. The rush in the spring will be
unprecedented. 1t is at least 100 miles
nearer from Seattle or Tacoma to Fort
Hope, via Whatcom, than it is from the
same points via Victoria and Port Moody.
Fort Hope is on the Fraser river, fifty
miles northeast from Whatcom, and dur.
inc the entire year is connected by a
continuous line Of wagon road, via the
Nooksack and Sumas valleys, over which
Ireightlng by wagons is constantly car
ried on, even during the winter months,
Fort Hope is the point from which all
travel to the mines will leave the Can
adam Pacific The Similkameen mines,
however, are as far from Fort Hope as
they are from Whatcom, for the reason
that they are nearly directly south Of Fort
Hope and cart from Whatcom. On an
air line i; is less than seventy miles from
Whatcom to the mines, and parties who
are conversant with the geography of the
country inform us that the natural and
most feasible route to the mines is via
the North Fork of the Nnoksack
through the mountain pass northeast of
Mt. Baker. This route, when opened,
as it certainly will be in the very near
future, says the Whatcom RereiHe. will
place Whatcom within two days travel
from the mines. When the fact is con.
sidered that good open road exists from
Whatcom to the mines, and that cayuse
capable of carrying $50 or 800 pounds
from this point to the mines can be pur-
chased at Seattle, Tacoma or almost any
point on the sound for less than the pas
senger fare from Victoria to Fort Hope
amounts to, the cayuse and the What.
com route will be given the preference
