Al, are JOYFUL over the letting of tue
contract on June 8 for fifty miles exten-
sion of the Northern Pacific railroad west
OF Davenport. THIS means only about
forty miles to a railroad depot this fall.
From this date we advise all spectators
to keep an eye on Waterville, as we are
going to make another Spokane Falls
right here. Her location at the west end
OF this great big Bend" (the nearest
point to the SQUAD, when the Northernn
Pacific will make this the trunk line), and
the commencement of mining and lum-
beripv on the east slope OF the Cascades
gives her the opportunity tor business

Hurrah for Seattle, Waterville and Spo-
kane! all on the same degree OF latitude
exactly, aud each splendidly located for
business.

POOLING WITH INDIANS.

II is perhaps discourteous to the con-
gr,ss of the United States and to the
president Of the United States aad to the
government oi the United States in general
to express the ideas that are very naturally
and irresistibly suggested by the strug-
giles of the Indian commissioners in their
endeavors TO get the long-baired vaga-
bonds known a. the Sioux chiefs 10 consent
to certain matters over which they have no
proper control. The lands of the world
belong of right to the people who occupy
and improve them and derive their living
therefrom. This is right inherent in the
human race. No particular few individ-
uals would have right TO parcel
OFT half or the whole OF u
newly-discoveTed continent and reserve 1t
for their own use, to the exclusion of all
other people The lands Of the earth are
limited in space; the human family Is ex-
pansive and must be provided for. Some
swarthy descendant of the original band
OF savage cut.throats that were found
roaming around in the wilderness of the
West may feel that he would prefer to oc.
cupy land enough for 10000 homes; but
this ambition IL not worthy of that re-
spect and consideration the government of
the United States has ever accorded to it.

with reference to sanitsry measures made
necessary By the Johnstown flood. He is
quoted as replying to an inquiry on that

on account of that tremendous disaster
regarded the health of the people as more

A STUDY IN GEOLOGY.

The scientific researches that have been
made during the present century and the
marvellous discoveries Of proofs antagon-
istic to theories previously established
have awakened gerater interest than had
ever prevailed before in the study of geo.
logical facts as they exist. This interest
IL intensified by the growing necessities OF
commerce and the importance Of the prob
lem involving the fuel supply of the future,
With which we are now confronted. Upon
this subject work by G. ID.
White. which recently appeared
in the American GeoloRist, has
attracted widespread attention, and
is especially interesting to the people of
the Pacific Northwest, who are just now
deeply concerned in the study of geology
and desirous of obtaining all the light that
can possibly be thrown upon the subject
Of cArboniferous formations. Mr.. White,
in this article, treats particularly of car
boniferous elsciation. The writer has
taken great pains to bring together and
place within the reach of the ordinary
teresting and important subject. He has
CLEANED his information from careful
study of the large and widely scattered
treaties that have hitherto appeared on
that subject, and has presented them in
compact form, at once mprehensiye, in
terestinR and useful. Without ou,hing
upon the conflict between scientific discov-
cry and so.called history, he assumes that
all well informed persons will admit that
glacial epoch, or many ofthem, have oc-
curred--some Of them prior to the exis-
tence OF man on earth, and others, perhaps,
within the period Of human existence.
This theory there are DOW few TO dispute.
for the very stones and the formation OF
the earth's surface, as deep as it has ever
beer penetrated, tell the story in language
as plain as the most skilful linguist can
employ. Not even pausing to give the
skeptical passing notice, he plunRes into
the heart of his subject, upon the presump-
tion that the appearance of man on earth
was a recent event compared with tn
vastly ancient period when the coal beds
were locked up in the earth. The temper.
ature prevailing at that ancient period, be
holds, was much warmer than now, and
the coal plants lived in a tropical and
very moist climate, in which the waters
perpetnal'y gave forth clouds of mist and
vapor through which the sun may have
never been able to penetrate. But the
fact that is now being brought 10 light,
and with which this paper deals. is that
far back IN that remote age of the
world, contrary to what has heretofore
, 1889-06-20

THE free trade papers are now in.
dustriously engaged in printing lists Of
labor troubles in the United States as an
argument in support Of the assumption
that protection is productive Of strikes,
The free trade advocates are very careful
however, to avoid any reference to the
labor troubles prevailing in Great Britain,
or why they exist, 1t Is also observed
that they have nothing to say concerning
the tremendous flow of labor from free
trade England to the United States. Per.
maps they will explain all this later along,
but until they do the industrial classes in
this country will continue to support the
political party that favors protection.

THE vILLAmD-sMIra AFFAIR.

The railroad contest that came OF In
Portland yesterday between the Willard
party on the one hsni and the Elijah
Smith party on the other, has been looked
forward to with much interest. Willard
appears TO have made good his assertion
that he had the upper hand, but II seems
that the 6nal wind-up Of the contest took
the nature Of a comprise with reference to
the 0. X. & N. interests. BY virtue of a
prolonged conversation between the two
contending maguates 1t 10 agreed that the
O. r, 4 N. shall not be controlled In any
way by the Northern but shall be operated
as part Of the Union Pacific system. The
Spokane & Rockford and other branches
north of Snake river are TO be taken into
the O. r. & N. system when
completed, thus giving Portland
the desired Independent connection
With the Ceur d'Alene mines and with
this city But what private understand
ing was reached upon these subjects and
others affe citing the interests of the puo'
lie will perhaps remain secret. There
has been strong talk in Portland OF hav.

benefits Of the o. r. & N. system. 1t may
have been agreed between the two inter
eats that neither the o. r. & N. nor the
Northern shall extend further lines In
competition with each other; but this
agreement if made will not probably last
long. Until the Union and the Northern
can effect an agreement TO work in uniscn q,
any agreement made with rference TO the
intervening feeders 10 likely to be deviated
from as the interests of either side may
demand. In the meantime the public
may only look on in the hope that compe-
tition or other causes may operate as
protection against extortion and unfair
determinations, to prevent which laws
have thus far been enacted more or less in
