The Prospect.
The pro-sp'cts for a railroad
through this vallev ara about
as good as any valley in East
ern Oregon. We have not
heard anvthinp definate as to
the route t lie company are apt
to adopt. But from what we
read 'n other papers and from
the way the surveyors are
prosportii'ff and inspecting
around and about ''old Iron
side" Mountain between here
and Malhuer City, we are in
clined to beheve that we may
hear any day that the company
have decided to ad pt the John
Day Valley route for the Salt
Lake and Dalles Hail road.
That tho have settled upon
i:c pk-s or valley as yet is cer
tain, and why are not our
chances equal to, or for that
matter, better than those of
Grande Uonde to secure the
road. When we bear in mind
thai this is a through line and
not particular to go out of the
road to catch a few small
towns, and also that by com
ing this way they not only
have the advantage of the low
est pass and cheapest route
from Boise (. ity to the Colum
bia Hiver, but is six hours the
shortest route from New York
to Portland, and four days the
shortest route from iSTev York
to Hong Kong, and that is
what Jay Gould & Co. are
looking to no doubt. Besides,
from Boise to the river the'
pass through about 125 nvle.-.
of the finest timber on the
Pacific coast. No doubt the
directors have taken into con
sideration the advantages of
this rouie and if they have, we
hope to be able to announce
to our readers before many
weeks that the railroad will
come this way.

Davis & Co. have been herd
ing most of their 12 000 head
of cattle in Alvord Valley since
the 1st of Ju;:c. consequently
the grass-hoppers arc perishing
for want of food. The Superin

S 000 cattle out of this valley,
