A Railroad Across Behring Straits.

John w. Weber, traveller,
trader and miner, whose present res
idence is Kodiak, Alaska, is in San
Francisco. He predicts confidently
the construction before many years
of a railroad from Vancouver to
Behring Straits, the bridging of the
straits and construction of connect
ing rail lines to Pekih, China, and
Irkutsk. "Just as sure as the world
moves that road will be built,'' he
says. "Snow is never great OBJ
stacle along the Alaskan coast, owing
to the influence of the Japan current.

Straits would make bridging per-
fectly feasible. 1 have been in Si-

months from there. / arrived here
a week ago. This road is perfect
ly feasible thing, and it will be built.
The Russians are now constructing
q road to Irkutsk, Siberia. and it is
the intention to extend it to connect
with a line from East Cape, on the
Atlantic side of Behring Straits.
This would make distance of 1000
miles. The snow on the Alaska side
is not bad. 1t does not get very deep
along the coast at any season of the
year. The Japan currents fix that,
as Is we'll known. The winters at
Sitka, Fort Wrahgle and all along
there are very mild. AS for Bebring
Straits, they are but thirty miles
wide, and 6cr a good deal of the year
boats could easily run, but as the
straits are dotted with islands, track
can be laid upon them, and the in
tervening points briiged. The
depth of water at no point Is over
twenty fathoms, and this presents no
difficulty that cannot be ov ercome

mountains through what is known as
the most frozen and desolate regions
of Siberia, and l can safely assert
that the products of the country will
abundantly justify the cost. Of the
resources to be developed the world
is skeptlcal, but just as sure as the
world moves that road will be built,
and it will carry thousands of pas
sengers and millions of tons of
freight, and it will pay. Ten years

The Fishing Schooner Oscar and
Hattie, In Alaska.

The Alaskan, noting the arrival of
the fishing schooner Oscar and Hat
tie, and the loading of ice at Glacier
Bay, continues. "The bay was
found to be covered with fragments
of ice and icebergs and the schooner
under the influence of the currents
drifted around for forty-eight hours,
anchorage being impossible, the
depth being from $50 to 800 fathoms
Snow and rain fell heavily. Bad
weather which set in three weeks
ago and drove the schooner as far
north as SO deg. Is sec. into the ocean
Zone of the gales carrying away the
main boom), compelled the captain
to put to Sltka for repairs. The
wind was mostly from the south
east, reaching hurricane at times.
In an interview Captain Johanson
said that since May last he had made
three successful trips in Alaskan
waters, coming as far north as Dix.
on Entrance, during which La caught
some 800 tons of halibut. The fish
was shipped in both a fresh and
salted state to Boston, where it met
with a rapid sale, the flavor being
conceded by consumers to be as
good, if not better, than that cap
tured in the Atlantic: The captain
says that when he first Inooted the
idea of shipping fresh fish from the
Pacific to the Atlantic the eastern
fishermen thought the idea a vision
AIRY one, but the success of the scheme
is now too well assured to leave any
doubt as to the business becoming q
permanent one and capable of grow
ing year by year. The Oscar & Hat
tie is the first fishing schooner which
has gone so far north as Glacier bay
for ice in which to pack halibut pre-
paratory to shipping it in rsfrigera-
tor cars. Captain Johanson returns
south immediately with the inten-
ton of catching another cargo and
utilizing the ice aboard-Horth fully
S1000-for packing the fish. Cap
tain Johanson is greatly pleased
with Sitka and the surroundings and
has no doubt but it will be an impor-
tant fishing station in the near fu-
ture. He intends during his brief
stay here, to render himself familiar
with its opportunities for the taking
of halibut and to make further ex.
periments on the fishing grounds"

MORE RESERVATIONS.
Hon. Chas. z. Munday Resigns and
is Re-appointed.

The latest sensation, if snch it may
be called, is the resignation of Mr..
Chas. F. Munday, assistant U. s. at
torney for the district of Washing
ton territory. MIR. Mnnday, however,
was immediately re-appoihted by di-
rect telegraph Instructions from
Washington.
The cause leading to the resigna
ton of Mr.. Munday was the lack Of
appropriations sufficient to pay for
his retention in Office, and he accord
ingly sent in his resi- ignation. Day
before yesterday AIn,: Mtnday re-
oeiTed dispatch from Washington
re-appointing him to the position,
and giving special instructions to as
sist the newly appointed Collector
of Customs at Port Townsend in the
business of the custom house. Mr..
Munday interpreted tho dispatch to
mean to assist by legal advice and
council. Mr.. Munday is at Port
Townsend in compliance with the or
ders received from Grover Cleve-
land, but will return to Seattle to-
night.
The above facts, while not coming
directly from the United States at
torney's office, are from what are
thought to be reliable sources.
In another place will be- found a
local regarding the resignation of
Herbert F. Beecher; son Of the late
Henry Ward Beecher; from the spe-
cial treasury agency Of Puget Sound.

THE WHALING FLEET.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-The whal-
ing CAPTAINS in this port are of the
opinion that the bark Ohio, which is
now overdue, is lost. One of the
captains states that she was last seen
at the tail end of the fleet, off Cape
Lisburne, in the Arctic ocean.
Another statement is made that she
was seen near Matthew's island, in
the Behring sea. If the former
statement is correct there is a ground
for belief that the bark is lost, and
if the latter story is true she may
still be on her way down.

Territorial Growth.

The Astoria Pioneer, casting its
wistfuI eye in this direction, says:
1.-The people have wondered at the
marvellous growth of Washington
Territory. There is not one city in
Oregon during the past year that
has increased materially in popula-
ton, yet during that time the cities
Of Seattle, Tacoma, Ellensburg, Spo-
kane, Whatcom and Port Townsend,
have nearly doubled their popula-
ton. Eastern capital and manufac-
tories, instead of locating in Oregon.
have gone to some of the cities and
towns above mentioned and invest
ed. Is it because they have better
natural resources than Oregon, or
are better located for commerce and
shipping? Certainly not. We have
had eastern capital come to Oregon
with view TO. investing and have
seen it go over TO the Sound or Spo-
kane Falls and invest there. There
must be some cause for this. Wash
ington Territory to-day has a larger
population than Oregon. The whole
trouble in nutshell is this: The
system Of assessment and taxation in
Oregon drives capital away. We
believe that if the true facts were
known and the reasons given by cap
italists for their choice of location
between Oregon and Washington
territory, that it would be that taxes
are too high inOregon."
