MIR. Allen, though past middle age, is
of youthful appearance, with a graceful
and charming manner that makes friends
wherever he goes. The republicans of
the territory, with such a standard
bearer, and on the platform adopted at
the convention, can safely count on
majority of 1000 for the ticket. The son
of his father, whose name does not ap-
pear on any assessment roll in this terri
tory, will cut only small figure IN the
coming electioB.-Skagit NeICs.

The Winlock Pilot says there is some
excitement in the Deep creek and Che
halls river country, west % WiDlock,
over railroad rumors. 1t is claimed that
the Port Townsend Southern railroad
will build up the Chehalis river, cross
the Northern Pacific south of Winlock,
and the Cowlitz river about three miles
below Toledo. May it be so. But Ceu-
tralia people already believe they have
it cornered, and that the road will pass
through that town and Cowlitz prairie.

the present time. He will not acquiesce,
without energetic protest, az Voorhees,
has done, in a policy that would strip
the territory OF its share OF protection,
for the purpose of maintaining protec
ton for certain other localities or sec
tions; nor will he affiliate with or assist
the party at the national capital that has
prevented and will still prevent as long
as il can the admission of Washington
as state.-Oregonidn
The matter of admitting the Northern
Pacific iuto partnership with the Union
Paicfic in the lease OF the o. L. N.
Co. g lines seems, says the Tacoma Ne,cs,
to be further away than ever. In fact,
in we'll informed railroad circles, such
an arrangement is said to be among the
tbings next to impossible. Charles +.
Adams, president OF the Union Pacific,
is said to be strongly opposed to the joint
lease. When here he expressed himself
very smpbatically on the question. In
conversation with promiEent railroad
man he said: :"I am strongly opposed to
entering into a joint lease with the
Northern Pacific, and nothing would
induce me to enter into an alliance.
The position of the Union Pacific, under
the present condition OF affairs, is a
very strong one, and an alliance with the
Northern Pacific would weaken instead
of strengthening it."
