il THE 0REGoN PAcIFIc.-A formal sale oi
the Oregon Pacific is being arranged for
about Dec. Ist. the object being to deter
mine the relative rights Of the different
creditors. Several things indicate action
on the road. People say the recent trip Of
the Union Pacific special indicated some
thing; but then special trips are becoming
chestnutty. Ii is now learned, says an ex-
change, that q surveying party has just ar
rived at The Dalles after a seven-weels trip
| through Eastern Oregon, their object being
| TO find n feasible route for n railroad from
that point through the interior to the line
of the Oregon Pacific in Lake county. Just
who is behind the project it isimpossihle at
present to state, but officials of both the
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific in this
city disclaim any connection with the en-
terprise. The surveyors followed the Lieu
tenant Norton survey from The Dailes to
| the Deschutes, which was found TO be the
most diiiicnlt part of the proposed road, bat
the average grade viii not exceed 90 feet 10
the mile. Striking that river at the agency
ferry, they followed up tie stream to the
mouth OF Crooked river, distance of %
miles. From this point they went to Prime
vile. in Crook county, IS miles distant.
The first 90 miles has no grade 10 exceed so

mentioned the land is comparatively level.
After leaving Prineville they found the
gronaa much mere feasible f8ru faiir0ad.
AT the head Of Silver creek. 125 miles from
/ Prineville, they reached the surveyed route
OK the Oregon Pacific. and for the entire dis
tance the grade would be very light. This
creek spreads out, and down it would be a
natural roadbed.

TnE REAsoSs.-Referring TO the state
u1cnt in the Courier lats week, which said
that Phil Neis 4 Co expected 10 gather So
00O pounds Of hops from their 2S-acre yard
the Albany DEMOCRAT asks:
Why Is il that y few Linn county wards
have only yielded 900 IN 800 pounds 70 The
acre. Three reasons may be given for such
improbable crops: In the first place there
Is some land used that Is wholly unfit for
hop land, in the second place there never
was a soil that was cultivated year after
year that will give the best results unsss
fertilized; and lastly. there are growers
who ara never able TO remember Mr. Iudds
