Special to the CHRoNIcLE.1
THE DALLEs, May 14.-After reading
the very clear article in THE CHRoN1chE
yesterday, on the immense crops that
will be raised in Sherman county this
year, I am reminded of the pertinent
questions that agitated our people a
year ago. In the spring of 1891 there
were two or more schemes, on paper and
in the air; for moving the grain crop OF
Sherman and other counties to the coast
markets. Paul Mohr and Co., it was
said; would have their portage railroad,
on the Washington side of the Columbia,
completed in time to handle the crop OF
1891. Afterwards came the much talked
Dalles and Silkstone railroad, and quite
recently the report that the Union Pa
cific would build branch line from the
main line into Sherman county, via,
Spanish Hollow and Wasco. Cannot
some one of these schemes sget move
on" in 1892? Acr1vr

Chief Engineer A. N. Gilmore, of the
steamship Oregon, now in Portland,
made the trip up to The Dalles by
steamers of the D. P. and A. Nav. Co.,
yesterday, accompanying his sisters
Misses Jane and Anna Gilmore this far
on their return to their home in Steuben-
will, Ohio. The ladies have made the
tour overland, via. California, thence by
sea to Portland, and they say that of all
the routes travelled, none compare with
the Columbia from Portland to The
Dalles.
+ Among the passengers to Portland this
morning by steamer Regulator, was Mr..
johnson, of Moscow, Idaho, who in
formed representative of THE CHRoN-
IcLE that he was taking the boat just for
the purpose of putting in a day where he
could learn from practical observation,
whether this natural highway TO the
Pacific was ever to be of any direct bene-
fit to the dwellers of the inland empire.
He seemed to be very anxious to learn
all he could, and was presented with a
fie of THE CHRONICLE for future refer
ence.
According to statements of Mr.. John
son, of Moscow, here this morning, rich
deposits of gold have been found near
that city quite recently. He says that
only few days ago two men from How
ard, a gulch about seven miles from
Moscow, came into the city with gold
dust and nuggets to buy supplies with,
and a Mosco paper which Mr.. Johnson
had with him says; "Messrs. Turner
Bros.," the men above referred to,
washed this gold out in the gulch.
They said that one shovelful of the dirt
where they were last working panned
out So and showed several nuggets, the
largest of which was about the size of an
ordinary marble. They think they are
on the trail of hidden ledge and pro-
pose to follow it up until they find it.
As the last gold is very coarse they are
greatly to believe they. are close to the
end.n Verify, how true it is, that no.
body knows the limit to possibility of
future development of the wealth of
this boHndless Pacific Northwest. J
