The Launching of the Northland.

The launching of the Northland, the
new steamer of the Northern Steamship
Company. on January 5th, at Cleveland,
was an event of such Importance as TO re-
ceive the particular attention of the illus
trated periodicals, newspapers and maya
zines of the middle states and Atlantic
coast. The steamer is a twin sister to the
Northwest, which was placed in service
in 1894, and will make alternate trips in
connection with the latter between Duluth
and Buffalo, making semi-weekly serv-
ice in both directions.
These magnificent steamers, operated
by the Great Northern railway perfect in
every appointment, and running on a
time schedule equal to that of the fastest
rail routes. are a further illustration Of
the indomintable energy and farsignted-
ness of President Hill. and will inaugurate
a new epoch in transcontinental tourist
and business travel, as the fast line OF
boats operated by the same company has
done in freight traffic. The Northland is

the Bitter Root range. At its north
are the Potlatch and Palouse prairie
lands. There ought to be virtue in the
land of the Nez Perces from its kindred
If for naught else. The small strip of
country between its western border
and the Snake river is all that has
given Lewiston its fame. Orchards and
vineyards extend from Lewiston along
the Clearwater river plumb to the res
ervation line, and it is this land that
the owners have gone upon the stand
and testified returned them a profit of
over $500 per acre every year. This
seems fabuloue, but it is true. China
men rent land along there and pay $3.50
per acre rent every year. And just
over the imaginary line lies the land
of the Nez Perces.
CLIMATE AND RESOURCES.
1t We're vain to pretend to accurately
describe the special characteristics of
these lands. In general terms, the to-
Biography Of the country is undulating,
with rich rolling plains and mesas,
and gentle wales ribboned with silvery
streams. There are a good many thou
sand acres of valuable timber lands,
containing white, yellow and bull pine,
pine is very valuable and abounds in
measureless quantities on the contig-
uous government lands. The climate
is singularly mild and hospitable, APP
preaching very closely the splendid
equability of that which prevails in the
low Lewiston section. The tablelands
receive sufficient sonwfall to maintain
the soil in constant and fruitful moist
ure. The crude Indian methods have
not produced the highest agricultural
results, but all the cereals and decidu-
Gus fruits have shown remarkable
yields. Considerable bodies of the I'M
allotted lands in large areas are leased
to whites, some of them cultivating as
high as 5000 acres. There are perahps
100 families of these lessees now living
on the land and operating about one
fourth of all the domain. Their crops
average 40 to so bushels of wheat to the
acre, but their improvements and meth
DDS are all temporary and have no fixed
value. These lessees are all under the
control of the Indian agent, who regu-
lates their leases and can remove them
at will. The lands were all surveyed
and plated few years ago by Miss
Fletcher, and therefore the opening
should not be deferred for want of
that, as has occurred in most other
cases. 1t is the best information that
as soon as the expected cash payment
is made the sale of the lands to settlers
will be at once undertaken By Agent
Robinson's untimely death Colonel
Lane is placed in entire charge of the
reservation, pending the appointment
of a successor.

Disastrous Collision of Texas Pacific
Trains Near Guthrie, o. r.

Trains Near Guthrie, o. +.
Guthrie, o. r., Feb. 1.-THE Texas. ex-
press and through cattle train on the
Santa Fe collided in Deadman's cut,
five miles south of here, at midnight
Saturday night. The freight was COM
ing around short curve so that Meth
er of the headlights could be seen with
in 800 feet of each other. The passenger
engineer jumped and saved his ire, as
did the freight fireman. The freight en-
gineer Charles Upleby, jumped, but his
head struck the rocky side of the cut
and he was killed. The passenger fire
man, Patrick Coldron, was caught in
the cab and scalded so badly that he
died this morning.
Both engines, baggage and mail cars
and half dozen freight cars were de-
moished. Seventy head of stock were
killed. The passenger coaches did not
leave the track, and no passengers were
badly injured, The badly injured are.
James Norman, freight conductor, left
arm broken. Edward Kitchen, passen-
ger conductor hand mashed, body badly
bruised. Messenger r. b. Reagle, body
badly bruised. Baggageman George
Neville scalded.
The wreck was caused by a misinter-
probation of orders by the freight en-
gineer, who thought he was to pass the
passenger at Guthrie, instead of at Sew
ard, two miles south OF the wreck.

General Manager Dodge of the Rio
