360 UNION PACIFIC SURVEY
oR6 HERE.

On Monday Engineer I. A. Clark
and three Of his surveyors arrived in
Lewiston, with all the paraphernalia for a
survey from Lewiston to the Utah North
ern through the Bitter Root mountains.
Two more surveyors are expected on
Fridays boat, tho other men needed will
BE- engaged in Lewiston or near by.
They will survey line Of levels and
distances and do all that is necessary to
pht the road and determine definitely
the line. They will commence at Lew.
issOn and proceed along the Clearwater
70 u reat the summit Of the Bitter Root
mountains - practicable, and then will
transport thsir supplies BY boat aud pack
animals y they find it the more safe ex.
peditious and practicable. They wish to
reach the Bitter Root valley before snow
falls to . depth that would impede their
work. We are assured from several
sources that the U. p, will build rail
road to Lewiston, either via Snake river
or the Clearwater. This they have de-
sermined upon, and the route they take
will depend upon the result Of the pre-
sent survey, which they are now CON-
mencing. The Snake river route they
already know and are satisfied that they
can build over it If the other does not
prove the better route.

c. II. VOORHEES,.

We observe that some of the Wash
ington Territory people are beginning to
arraisu G.. II. Voorhees, fer his short
comings as delegate in congress, but so
far they have made poor showing
against him. The strongest hold seems
to be that he is guilty of the crime Of
being yonng man and the son of a
distinguished senator So far as We can
now see he has been faithful to his
pledges to the people made during the
campaign and has been rs successful and
even more SO than the average delegate
from the territory. 1t is evident on all
hands that he has been Jealous worker
against odds and to those who espouse
the principles he advocated in the cam
patgn, We cannot see where he has been
untrue to them, and unless they have
changed opinions upon the questions,
which were agitated during the canvass
we do not forcsec where the democrats
Of Washington will find man more
ready and more willing to do their bid
ding in the next congress. lie has come
nearer to working railroad forfeiture
and nearer to bringing about annexation
of North Idaho to Washington than any
| of his predecessors and those two object
were what his constituents elected hin
for. He may ultimately fail in both
these, but according to present develop
ments, It will not be for want Of industry
and energy on his part. We don't en-
doris, his forfeiture policy, but We do his
annexation policy. The people of Wash
inston by majority at the last election
endorsed both, and so far he has beer
their willing and obedient servant.

NOT ONE TENTH IS TRUE you
HbAR AND READ.

We cen hear and read Of great
variety Of railroad movements at the
present day. Some are stated with an
air Of authenticity that are well cal
.culsted to deceive and mislcad the most
searching and ihquisitive persons who are
honestly looking after the truth, some
for one purpose aud some for another,
but all for the purpose of lettering their
own condition aud that Of their friends,
or the community in which they are in
terested. We see 1t positively stated as
the latest that the o. r. Il N. have
leased their interest to the Union Pacific;
then again that the North Pacific joins
with the Union Pacific in the lease and
that jointly they are to build draw
bridge at Wallula; and that the U. p.
is to aid the N. r., in completing the
Cascade branch aud the tunnel; and
then again that if the lease is effected in
either case the Cascade branch will not
be completed, but all the business will be
done through Portland to the Sound /;
aud then again that the Cascade branch
will be built and that Portland will be
the terminus Of all the lines to the
North Pacific. Each one Of these pro-
jccts has its confident believers, however
inconsistent the project may be. The
people who are to furnish the support
and business Of the projected roads, arc
the last to know what is ready to be
done, so that they can be prepared to
shape their plans, either to'enrich them
selves or to furnish the greatest support
TO the roads when built. New corners,
who desire to settle the country, are pt.
sea to know where to locate 50 s e 70 take
advantage Of the situation, either for
themselves os6 become factors in the
6QAlReE Of the railroad when they are
built, and old settlers who know the
country well, know not whether their
locations arc good or whether they
should sell out, or give their locations
away and 50 to some other point in order
10 Do successful, and thus years of time
and energy are spent and even wasted
owing to this practical uncertainty OF
thinss in relation to railroad construction
on the north west coast. There is SO
much maneuvcring and gerimandsring
Of railroad companies that progress OF the
country Is greatly retarded even with
labor that is in the country, as well as
that which is fast coming to the coun,ry
To us it seems that the railroad manage
ment should be conducted upon plans
that arc better matured SO that they eel
give some information in advance Of con
s.ruction % that the tributary resident,
eaa make business for the road.

Colonel Lamborn, of St. Paul, land
commissioner of the Northern Pacific
railroad, who recently travelled through
the Big Bend country with E. V. Small
ey, says that he thinks almost the entire
country will produce wheat and cereals
generally. Much of the country being
at an elevation of $500 and 5000 feet,
it is thought that there will be seasons
when vegetables will not succeed well.
The people Of both parties have deter
mined not to send any more cranks to

have done the territory the past two sea.
sons, by allowing pack of old women
to dictate to them, have set the country
back ten years and made US the laughing
stock OF the whole United States.
The hot weather is melting the snow
on Mt. Tacoma, and as it melts debris is
carried down to the streams that have
their source in the glaciers. The Puy-
allup river is bringing down large guam
titles, and the harbor of Tacoma is filed
with debris.

An Ellensburg correspondent of the
Journal has the following under date
Of July 81:
The first thing that l noticed was the
great number Of teams employed by diff.
ferent contractors, to furnish supplies to
the men at the tunnel and at the saw
mill. Fourteen wagons were filled full
of bacon, lard, flour, sugar, salt, coffee
and canned goods. On inquiry, l was
informed that it was repetition of the
same every day.
The town represents every branch of
industry, and all seem to be doing well.
The population of the place is about 900
actual residents, with a mayor, city
council and No ! marshal. The lat
ter took considerable pains in showing
me the city and trying to impress upon
my mind that a stranger was not looked
upon as a horsethief, but treated civilly
here.
There are at present fourteen saloons,
which seem to be doing a good business.
There are two bakeries, two large hotels
and ten lodging houses. There are
eight large stores and the groceries and
fruit stands are too numerous to mention
Three drug stores supply the people with
the necessary poison.
