Mr. John L. Hotchlson, of New York,
"who was one of the party who recently
made the trip overland to Europe, 1a a
now-blockaded guest at Tbe Umatilla
today. In company with a party of
eight civil engineer" who were em
..,j ed two year ago to make a prelim
inary survey between Vancouver, B. C,
and Cape 1'rince of Wales, Alaska, and
rejrt on the pratticability of building
railroad from the f oritur city to the
eape, he has spent the pant eighteen
months In running the lines and obtain
ing levels and the general topography
of the country between the points
named. Two of his companions, James
Higgins and Hubert Faulkner, remained
at one of their permanent ramps near
ths ra, and the remainder of the party
accompanied Mr. Hutchison to Van
couver. This party have pained over a region
sever lx'for explored. From Juneau
the party proceeded on an air line, as
nearly as poeni Me paralleling the
Alaskan coaiit west of Mts. Fairwcather
and Eliae, but not touching the coast
proper at any Kint. Copper river was
encountered 120 miles from l'rlnce
1 .1 A I tl
William sound ana laauiwrn ui iu v.
Wrangel. It occupied the time of the
' party 90 days to attain this point. A
permanent camp was established at
this place and named Beatrice. The
river here is navigable with its waters
Wy smooth and placid for a dis
tance of 100 luiles.. hut ll suddenly
breaks off into a scries of rapids 45 miles
soulhwett, toward the sound, which
continues for 10 miles when it npain be
comes navigable. Tin next jxjii.t tie
party aimed fur was on the Sorbins
river, which proved to be more rugged
si: J hauler to traverse than had been
anticipated, the party having to scale
about a dozen small glaziers or crop
pings from the main ATaskau range. It
'occupied nearly two months to get to
this crossing, hut a portion of the time
was consumed in running two' lines or
levels.
Mr. Hutchison says he is at liberty to
cay that the report which will le sub
t lilted by Engineer Faulkner to the pro
l ioterswill clearly establish and fully
recommend the practicability vl the
route for an all-rail line between
Vancouver and Cape l'rlnce of Wales.
His report w ill also state that it can be
kept open and oerated the whole year.
in an una route comparatively easy
grades can lie attained, Vincent pans, in
the Alaskans, being the hardest to over
come ; bnt the altitude is no higher than
(hat of Stampede pass on the Northern
"acific railway. As to the strait he con
ade that the miles from one
inland to the other, by utilizing eight
inds the cantilever bridge can be auc-
iftilly brought Into requisition. In
t.a places from little or lower Dianiede
island no modern bridge would I ample
to span, as each one would be five times
as long as the tuniuspan in the Brooklyn
bridge, but he is of the opinion that a
double-deck pontoon could be used at
those price. At this point he reports
that there is little or no danger from
Ice-bergs, as 40 miles up the strait all
large iceliergs are stranded or run
ground. With stone breakwater pro
tection to part of the piers the bridge
would be secure. Of course the pan toons
r floating bridges referred to would
ave to be built to sw ing and be worked
y steam power. He also reports that
there is no quicksand to contend with
or any submarine obstacles, the bottom
of the strait being all that could be de
sired for pier foundations.

HnrrmoToa, Ore., Feb. 7. The de
layed fast mail passenger train which
left here, bound East, at 11:15 yesterday
morning, met with a serious accident
when at a point about two miles east of
Old'a Ferry and twelve miles east of
Huntington, by the train becoming de
railed. Elizabeth Egan, a thirteen-year-old
girl, was instantly killed, and
many others wtre seriously injured.
The dead and injured as near as can be
ascertained are as follows: Elizabeth
Egan, of Chicago, instantly killed ; Mrs.
Egan and three children were injured
internally; J. C. Rodell, of Minnctonka,
Minn., hip badly bruised and injured
internally; J. Dewis, of Corvallit, badly
bruised ; W. C. Babst and wife, Chicago,
back strained and internal injuries; J.
Hahn, New York, had his hand broken ;
W. II. Daniel son, baggage man of Hunt
ington, seriously cut bruised and burned ;
Mrs. 8. Williams and child of Aspen,
Colorado, each cut on the head; W. E.
Urinnel, of -Weiaer, head cut; Mrs.
Kehoe, of I'ortland, seriously injured;
J. C. Arbucle and wife, of Atpen, Colo.,
slightly injured. The following were
more or less injured: G. F. Allen, Sted
wards, Neb; C. ration, Suit Lake; O.
C. .''tone, Aspen; O. B. I'hipns, Boone,
Ia. ; L. Madleton, Nobleton, Xeb. ; E.
I'feiffer, Wisner Neb., Joseph Stofferd,
Chicago; L. Turner, Louisville, Colo.;
C. M. Meeker, Portland. The cause cf
the derailment cannot be positively
stated, as the track showed no signs of
having spread, and the train had been
running at a rate not exceeding thirty
five miles an hour. The accident .is
said to have been unavoidable, why is
not know n. The engine, which was in
charge of Engineer Allen, did not leave
the track, but the rest of the train, con
sisting of the mail car, express car din
ing car and Pullman sleeper, left the
rails and rau about two hundred yards
on ties before they plunged into the
ditch. The express car, smoker and
chair cars fell over a fifteen-foot embank
ment, and slid on their sides on the ice
for a considerable distance. Agent
Willis of Huntington, ordered out the
wrecking train, which left at once for
for the scene of tha accident.

was caugiit under one of the chairs In
such a manner that her feet w ere doubled
up under her and her head resting on

head and r uns and hands by the coals
froui the stove and was only saved from
a fearful death by the car going into the

Tha stage resumed its regular route by
Endersby this morning, bringing ths
first mail for a week on account of anow
drifts.
Professor Frazer gave a sociable at
Dufur Saturday night which was a grand
success. Tha Dufur revival meeting
baa closed.
We noticed In a lata issue of Tna
Chronicle, a special from Corvallis,
written from the Oregon Agricultural
college and signed "Buncbgrass." He
starts out complaining of the fog hang
ing over tha little town and the scarcity
of work in tha little fog ridden burg.
One might suppose ha was a laboring
man looking for a job; but as we follow
him down to the agricultural college wa
find he aims at something higher than
days labor. Wa put him down as one of
those great big agricultural Professors
that we had the pleasure of seeing a few
weeks ago holding a Farmer's Institute
at Dufur. Yes, "Buuchgra?s," we hap
pened to be there; and found to our
disappointment they could not tell
whether beans grew on sage brush or on
acactuc. He goes on to tell ns that the
citizens of our fair state don't have to
bear bnt a small proportion of the ex
penses of this great Institution, but that
Uncle Sam, with his usual lavish hand,
has given of the people's domain 9u,000
acres of the people's land, to be trans
ferred to actual settlers; or land grab
bers for cash, to be used in this, as he
calls it "a great institution."
The people at large never suffered any
thin)' at tbe h&nda of Uncle Sam's giv
ing subsidies of land to corporations and
institutions that always has been and
always will be a burden to the people.
If Uncle Sam was as good at finishing
the work he undertook twenty y?ars ago
at the Cascades; it wou!3 be ten times
more to the people of Oregon, than all
the agricultural colleges on the coast.
Then, he says, the people around Cor
vallis went down into their pockets,
built and gave to the state a fine build
ing of brick. Well they might. So
would any little dead town in the state
do the same thing; if, by so doing they
could build up a great institution that
intend to spend as much money as they
intend to do. And now your many
readers may see w hat this giving by the
people of Corvallis to the state amounts
to. Tiio state has since erected two
domitory boarding halls, also n two
story mechanical building of brick, and
has commenced a elation building, and
not satisfied with that they ask the pres
ent legislature to finish the hist named
building, "and thus give the-chemist a
chance to learn that Eastern Oregon is
capable of producing something more
than bunch grass and sage brush ;" also
other buildings too numerous to mention.
It is a pity the state can't give money
enough to finish a building for the fcieat
chemist and transport soil from Eastern
Oregon so he can tell the people whether
it will sprout beans or not. It has been
trio! and proven, yeara ago, that we
have the best soil in Eastern Oregon for
cereRls that there is In the state, also for
fruits and vegetables. If the state would
build a portage railroad at the dalles, it
would do more for Oregon than all the
agricultural colleges in America. It is
an insult to every farmer in Eastern
Oregon to have an agricultural college
Professor talk about analyzing the soils
of this fair laud. We would advise the
state to look well after our Jnsane
asylum, as we fear some of its inhabi
tants have already escaped. What
Eastern Oregon wants, and it would
benefit the whole state, is A free ojien
river to the sea. We have a soil sec
ond to none for all kinds of produce that
the American people consume. But
how can we expect the state to do any
thing when she Is already burdened with
institutions that are of no benefit to the
people? on what can the farmers expect
from an institution that is only good for
the favoured few? Talk about 273
happy boys and girls idleing their time
away in such an institution ; better send
them home where their parents can give
them a better practical knowledge of
farming thau they will ever receive at
the Corvallis college. Sivili.k.

A word as to Kimrock'e ideas: Abol
ish tha mortgage tax law, but don't
touch tha usury law. When farmers
borrow noncy on land, It Is generally on
five yeara time; tha loan agents gener
ally charge five per ctnt bonus, but it
is better to pay this onca and ten per
cent interest, than to pay twelve per
cent five times, which was tha usual
rate of interest before tha passage of the
usury law.

Rid CLirr, Colo., Feb. 8. Brash
creek, in Eagle county, baa come to tha
front lately with the discovery of a cave,
whose extent will surpass anything yet
discovered in the west, and in the
United States, except Kentucky's won
der. Six hours of constant travel ara
necessary to view its grottoes, torrents,
domes and mineral vlens. Unfathoma
ble depths still remain for future explor
ing and judging from their openings
and the far away rushing of the torrent
whose sound comes faintly to tho ear,
the mysteries nnattempted will furnish
multitudinous wonders, more gigantic
rock halls and more exquisite grottoes.
The r adages and rooms cover several
miles of ground, but are terraced and
paralleled in such a manuer that they
are embraced in one mountain, whose
surface does not indicate its empty
bosom. Centuries of percolation from
the lime surroundings have . white
washed the place and in some of the
rooms not a loose rock can be found for
several hundred feet. Tbe most vivid
fancy could not create names for the
numerous fantastic formations of clus
tering stalactites and dragoned cornices
which cling or edge the arched roofs of
the different chambers. The cave is ou
Brush creek, one and one-hair miles
from Fulford.

Olthpia, Feb. 9. (Special. Gov.
MeGraw boiled over today. He served
a notice tonight upon Spokane and her
friends that henceforth he will waga
an open fight for Allen. Ha said It was
A fight of King county against the state;
that he was A King county man and
proposed to stand by King county. "At
3 o'clock this afternoon," he laid, I took
personal charge of Mr. Allen's campaign,
and propose now to employ all my in
fluence to break the deadlock and elect
King county's man."
Wlfbn ex-Governor MeGraw had taken
this stand he said : "It hss been known,
all aloug that Governor MeGraw has
been secretly doing all in his power to
bring about the election of Allen, des
pite the fact that he has repeatedly pro
claimed throughout the state that tha
dignity of his office iorhade his inter
fering in the contest. His open an
nouncement of his intention to take
control of the fight has not materially
changed the situation.
Mr. Tuner's friends much prefer to
combat an open enemy, believing him
lees dangerous than a secret fee. His
announcement of the war cry of King
county against the state has become
stale and will no longer arouse enthusi
asm at Seattle. It has been worked for
all it is worth. Friends of Judge Tur
ner have only the friendliest feelings for
the people of King county. They ara
only waging war npou the canal schema
and an unscrupulous ring which seeks
to promote private grabs at the expense
of the rivers and harbors of Washington.
This is what is meant by the cry of King
county against tho state. I am sorry to
say that those republicans who had
fondly hoped Governor MeGraw would
ilse no stepping stones of his dead self
to higher things have suffered an early
and violent awakening. He seems to be
entirely incapable of comprehending
Ihat he is governor of the state of Wash
ington. Mr. Turner was in no wise
concerned by Mr. McGraw's declaration.
Ten minutes after its receipt he joined a
merry party of the wives of legislators

Upon what the uiossengor pigeon's
wonderful faculty of finding its way
homeward over great distances depends,
opinions differ. Home ascribe it to an
exercise of highly developed intelligence,
others to nn almost inconceivable per
fection of si'ht, and yet others to in
stinct or intuition. The fact of tha
matter is, it in one of those mysteries of
nature that perhaps will never be reveal
ed, and stands able by side with tho ac
tion of the grilse or young salmon, which
finds its way back unerringly to tha
tune stream that it left uearly three
years before as a tiny par. Denver Republican.
