The manager of the Oregon

The manager of the Oregon I'm
provement company is reported to
have signed the contracts with the
Port Townsend Southern Railroad
Company to construct a line of
railroad between Port Townsend
and Portland, the work to be ac-
lively commenced April LIST, TWEEN
ty miles to be finished by Septem
Der and seventy miles by the fol-
lowing January. The negotiations
had been pending for some time
when the citizens subscribed nearly
81 100000 in cash and lands. Six
hundred men began work at Port
Townsend last week, and 400 more
were to be added to the force this
week. The first twenty mile Sec
ton is estimated to cost a half mil.
mion dollars. 1t is an established
fact that the work is being done
for the Union Pacific company,
which is DESTROYS Of securing a
Puget Sound terminus. The main
line will pass through Mason Coun-
ty, although it may not take the
established route Of the prelimin-
airy survey of last year. Just how
near to Shelton this road will come
cannot be tola, but it is eatistac-
tory to the people Of this place to
know that in case the road does
not come to Shelton, one or both
Of our railroads will connect with
the transconItinental line and the
facilities will be the same. Now
that the building OF the road has
actually commenced, the towns Of
this county lying near the the pro-
posed route, are preparing to re-
alize from these bright prospects.

Fundy'S Tides.

A St. John correspondent of the
Portland Advertiser writes: The Bay
of Fundy forms a cul-de-sac at which
the Atlantic ocean seems TO have taken
spite, and at regular intervals pours
in its waters viciously and with intent
to do all possible harm. Take, for in
stance, the harbor of St. John. In
most parts of the world tide OF
from six to ten feet is quite sufficient
to satisfy all reasonable demands. In
St. John harbor the tide rises twenty
one feet on an ordinary day, and oc-
casionally varies the monotony by push
ing the mark up 3 or feet, as the hui
NOR seizes it, and was never struck
so much with anything in my life as
with this advance and receding of the
waters.
I have described the narrow gorge
through which the st. John river is
forced into the Bay of Fundy. At
low tide. where the water drops into
bay, there is a fall OF some 10 feet,
the channel being very rough and to-
tally impossible for vessels of any de-
scription. At high water the fall is
the other way, the bay falling into
the river This was the first time that
/ had ever seen river with the waite r
flowing from its mouth towards its
source, and this occnrs every day in
the st. John. One good effect OF the
tide is this, that when it is half up or
half down the river is level with the
harbor, and then the immense num-
Der of timber barges and other craft
which have gathered in the river while
waiting for the rise and fall, are able
to run nicely out into the harbor, ST.
John, be it understood, is IA great port
for shipping. At any day you can
see dozen of the largest ocean going
vessels loading the deals for different
parts of the world. This timber
mainly comes down the ST. John river
saw the tide come in and around
the headland at Minas Basin, and il
a sight worth going to see. The head
of the advancing tide is called II "bore
If you can imagine a straight oil
water eight feet high, curling over al
the top, advancing upon you at the
rate of ten miles per hour, you will
get an idea what "bore" is, and what
Il turn of the tide means. At the Mi
mas Basin this wall of water comes
tearing around the headland like an
express train, and the man who was
down on the fiat sands of the bay al
this time stood a remarkably good
chance of never leaving those sands
alive. If he got good start of the
''bOre" he might escape, and if he
did not he Was drowned. You cannot
fool with the tide at Mnas Basin. II

acquainted with the animal avoids
The rise of the tide at Minas Basin is
45 feet.
At the extreme head of the Bay oil
Fundy the tide rises from IS to rs and
runs ut the rate of fifteen miles an
hour. This is not only the highest
tide in the known world, but it is
double the height, 1 am told, of any
other known tide.

Work was begun on the Port
Townsend road a short time ago,
yet the eyes Of real estate men
and capitalists are already turned
to Shelton and this vicinity, as a
profitable field for investment.
Property at Union City has been
sold rapidly on the railroad pros
poets, and the investor, in following
the proposed line of railroad finds
that Shelton is the nearest point
to reach the waters of the upper
Sound. either di rectly or by short
connection, and we learn Of a num-
Der who have turned their atten-
ton this way within short time.
Considering that Shelton is now

tor in the towns future. We are

Two persons were born on the same
day, at the same moment, at the same
place. After an age of fifty years they
both died, also ut the same place and
the same moment of time-yet one
had lived 100 days longer than the
other. This seems impossible, yet is
it not so. The solution turns on IA
curious point in standardization. A
person going round the world toward
the West loses day, and toward the
East he gains one. Surprising then,
two persons are born together at the
cape of ,iood hope, whence VOYAGE
round the world may be made in a
year if one perform it constantly 90
ing westward he loses a day, and in
fifty years he will be fifty days behind
the stationary inhabitants. And if
the other sails equally toward the east
he will be fifty days in advance of
them. One, therefore, will have seen
100 days more than the other, though
they We're born and died at the same
place and at the same moment, and
even lived continually in the same
latitude and recorded by the same
calender.-Popular Monthly.

No Home Product but the Corpse.

The late Henry W. Grady, of
Georgia, was strong advocate Of
home production; Of the necessity
Of each section of country eDgag-
ing in manufacturing industries,
and utilizing the resources that ma
ture has so bountifally endowed.
Shortly before his death, he made
the following statement: 1.-THE
other day there was man buried
in Pickens county. In digging
the grave they dug through three
feet of marble as pure as any Par
isian sculptor ever moulded, aud
yet the marble slab at the head of
his grave was imported from Yer
mont. Although pine woods
were all around him. the pine cof-
fin in which he lay was imported
from Philadelphia. Although
iron was in the hills, within hun
dred feet of his grave. the nails in
lis coffin came from Pittsburg.
Although there was hard wood in
tie same forests. the wood in the
handles of the picks and shovels
that dug his grave were imported
from Cincinnati. The trnth is
that in his own county, as rich or
richer in natural resources than
any in the state, furnished nothing
for the funeral but the hole in the
ground and the corpse"

horrible death was reported from
Sugar Island, Michigan, last week.
A blacksmith named Gilroy, who
had been a constant drinker of
whiskey for several years, but sell
dom incapacitated from work, was
leaning oyer his forge, when a fame
struck him fully in the face. He
gave a scream and tell to the floor
in great agony, and when doctor
was called, he was found to be
burning internally, smoke coming
from his mouth. No relief could
be made, and the fellow begged
