RAILROADS TO GRAY's HARBoR.
what the Hunt Road and Northern Pa
cific Have Accomplished.

cific Have Accomplished.
ABERDEEN, July 27.-So many rumors
are published concerning the work on the
Hunt and the Northern Pacific railroads
between Centralia and Gray's Harbor, that
o little of the facts, as seen by the PosT-
INTELLIGENcER correspondent, may be of
interest. The Northern had on Thursday
thirteen miles of track laid, being as far as
their grade is finished continuously. AT
the present stoppage there is q small
bridge to build and q fill, some eight feet
high and half mile or less long to COM
plete, when track can be laid to Black
river, three miles farther. Here q bridge
of not less than $50 feet span will be neces-
sary. By the time this is ready. which
will be in two or three weeks, the grade to
Porter creek will be completed and track
can be laid down about thirty miles. From
Porter creek to Elma the heavy grading is
finished, and that remaining will be in q
comparatively level country. Ties are dis
tributed along the entire right-of-way to
Elma, and from there the track of the
Puget Sound & Gray's Harbor railroad will
be used to Montesano. which is about
twelve miles from Aberdeen. The heavy
grading on this stretch has also been COM
pleted. The actual number OF men en-
ployed is not obtainabie. but 700 is close to
the figure.
Hunts right-of-way is cleared near Oak
vile, and except the bridges the grade is
ready for the iron to point about sixteen
miles west of Centralia. No ties are laid
or ready. He has one sawmill at the
lower end of Mound Prairie nearly ready
for cutting, and another two miles further
L.. n IN t. t.
pected that these mills will cut ties and
bridge timbers faster than the men can
use them. Hunt has not built q bridge,
no. even across the Skookumchuck at Gen.
tralia, but his engineer says the bridges
will be built and ties laid sooner than there
will be need for them. Hunts line will
cross the Chehalis river, about mile and
a half below Oakville, and probably re-
cross at the stage road ferry. five miles
from Elma. This change has been made
necessary by the Northern's appropriation
of the Porter creek bluff. by which the
only room for railroad at a reasonable
cost has been occupied. The change is a
good one for Hunt, as it will give him q
large scope of country untouched by the
Northern.
The controversy about the Finch bluff at
Aberdeen is yet unsettled. The bluff rises
quite steep from the waters edge, and but
one railroad can build along it at reasona-
bic cost, and the company that secures it
will have big advantage.
CITY Councilman Lyman Babcock had
his right leg ripped open by cutoff saw
at the Weatherwax mill yesterday. The
saw, which is q small one revolving at great
speed, was accidently thrown against his
leg and split it from the knee almost to the
hip and tearing the flesh fearfully. 1t may
cripple him for life.

WASHINGTON CRY, July 27.-The tariff
will be the principal theme discussed in
the Senate this week. 1t is impossible to
sly how long the general debate will last,
az almost every Democratic senator is
understood to have a formal speech pre-
pared for delivery. The advocates of the
bill to transfer the revenue marine from
the treasury to the navy department will
call it up in the morning hour. Unless the
demand for the river and harbor bill
grows stronger than at present the man.
ayers will not endeavor to bring it before
the Senate this week.
In the House the sundry civil bill is on
for tomorrow. Tuesday and Wednesday
will be given up to the agricultural COM
mittee, which will seek action upon the
compound lard and meat inspection bills.

The commissioner reversed The decision OF
the Seattle land Office. holding that the
enabling act repealed ali laws
relating to indemnity lands. and that the
state was not entitled to any indemnity se-
lections in lieu of iaiids lost by reason of
sections 16 and 36 being fractional from
natural causes. From that decision the
state has appeaied to TIN secretary Of the
interior, assigning the foregoing findings OF
the commissioner of the general land
office as error.
II the decision is sustained its effect viii
be to deprive the state of very large
amount of indemnity school lands, some
OF them being among the most valuable in
the state by reason of their contiguity to
the most populous cities.

he walked across the street and burned
pieces of flesh fell from him with every

sciousness, and his appeals for water were
pitiful. He is still alive. The fire was ex-
tinguished.
