0m for travel. The bridge was built
under rather trying circumstance a
the water was fiigli during the entire

Bcappoose I all agog with railroad
excitement, and well enough it might
be. About a week ago about a half a

until Monday of this week, when a
corps of surveyors aud assistants was
unloaded there and a camp established
near O. 1). Garrison's placo, on North
ficappoose Creek. The gentlemen state
that their mission is to survey a railroad
route from Bcappoose to Nehalem, or at
least, up ' in the hill about tlio head
water of Bcappoose. It U known that
there aro valuable Iron deposits In that
vicinity, besides a body of splendid tim

The highest bridge In the world ha
Just been completed in Alaska. It spans
o gorge on tbe Wbite Pass & Yukon
railroad, and doe away with a witch
back. The bridge over the main por

with the trestle work at each approach
850 feet long. Tho track is'30 feet
aliove the lowest part of tlie gorge. The
steel work is 90 feet high. As may be
imagined, it cost a large sum of money,
but a comparatively small mm a com
pared with the cost of the entire road.

An exchange very appropriately re

A shrewd Portland man who hoe ob
served the product aud the markets of
the country has written a long article
telling of a number of industries that
ought to be made more profitable in Ore
gon. He say that both our (oil and our
climate are peculiary adapted to flax
raising. He think our wheat crops
would be larger and better if more atten
tion were givon to proper summer fal
lowing, and says a greater per cent of it
ought to be made into flour before ex
port. He sees no good reasons for so
much oat and barley products being im
ported while oar own state can produce
such superior article. There ought to
be several starch factories to ntilize our
Immense crop of potatoes. There are
no good excuse for bringing in so many
hog and poultry products, and all the
sugar and butter we need could be made
within the border of our own atato.
Considerable attention was attracted
at the O. R. & N. wharf a few days ago,
says the Astorian, by the presence of an
odd-looking craft Iving alongside the
dock and looking like a bob-tail river
steamer. The vessel i the illstarred
Klickitat, which was started by the
Portage Railway Company of which
Paul Mobr was the prominent figure and
wnen tnai company which waa to ouuu
a boat railway at the Dalles, went to the
wall during; the past summer tbe Klick
itat was sold to satisfy a mortgage. Bhe
was a splendid model of a river steamer
and was to have been one of the finest
boats of the company but she wa never
completed and has no machinery or
wheel and consists of only tlie bull and
outer shell ot her upper works. Bhe was
purchased by the O. R. AN. Co. and is
being used in tbe rather inglorious role
of a barge. Bhe ha on board some seven
thousand sacks of wheat which are being
lightered down for the steamer Ching Wo.
The horse-selling reason did not wait
for spring to open this year, but has al
ready started in, owing to the heavy de
mand for good draft horses for the log
ging camp, say the Oregonian. Quite
a number of animal are being bought
for tbe British Columbian market, and
these are shipped north, subject to 30
per cent Canadian duty. Those who
have to buy horse now think they are
rather at the wrong end of the bargain,
as a well-broken pair, weighing KiOO to
1800 each, readily sell at from $300 to
$400. Heavy horse, however, ' are
scarce, and purchaser will have to con
tent themselves with the lighter animals,
purchasing more of them. According to
experienced dealers, the horse ranges
of Eastern Oregon were pretty well de
pleted of their best animals last year,
and so very few of those to be brought
in thi season will reach the desired
standard in weight. "Horses are high
here," a dealer said yesterday, "but they
are worth nearly double Portland price
in tho woods of British Columbia, and a
team selling for $300 here will bring
$000 across the British line."
Every now and then a rumor is wafted
about on the breexes that ttere is no law
forbidding hogs running at large in this
county. Such is an incorrect statement
of tlie facts in the caae, as anyone may
ascertain by visiting the County Clerk's
office and examining the report of the
canvassing board which examined the re
turns of the general election held in this
county June 5th, 1888. Messrs. J. Cal
vin Johnson, Justice of the Peace for
Bcappoose precinct; A. H. Blakealey,
Justice of the Peace for Union precinct,
and N. 0. Dale, County Clerk, consti
tuted the 'canvassing board, and their
report shows that "for hogs running at
large" there were 157 vote cost; against
hogs running at large, 511. This vote
was taken in accordance with a provis
ion of the statute which provides that
the people of a county may vote upon
and forbid or permit bog to ran at large,
a majority vote deciding it either way.
The petition of 100 voter was Died with
the Clerk, according to law, and the
manner of voting on the question was
the same a prescribed for voting on the
adoption of an amendment to the consti
tution. Hence, hogs cannot lawfully
run at large In Columbia County.
The Portland Telegram, which is
never afraid to express an opinion, rolls
up its sleeves ana goes at the office of
State Printer in thia wise: "Senator
Mulkey, of Polk County, ha another
commendable idea, though cot a new
one, for the Legislature to consider.
This is to abolish the office of State
Printer. This should certainly be done.
There is very little excuse lor such an
official. If the office could be conducted
at a reasonable expense, there would be
no great objection to it, but judging from
all poet experience no hope of reason
able economy in .this work can be ex
pected. It costs at least three times
what the state ought to pay, merely to
make one man wealthy, and put him in
a position to be an important factor in
log-rolling schemes to deplete the state
treasury, in others' favor as well as his
own. The present State Printer, a very
capable and pleasant gentleman, ought
not to complain if tbe law provided for
abolishing the office at the conclusion
of his term. Then he will have served
eight years, and ran afford to go into
the banking business, if he so desires.
Htute officers should be well paid, but
two or three of them enjoy a graft far
out of proportion even to the exalted
positions they hold or the valuable ser
vices thev perform. None of the state
offices, however, can well be abolished,
except this one of State Printer, but
that is one entirely unnecessary. -Attornev

Washington County Farmer's Opin
ion of Rood to Nehalem.
The following communication ap
peared in Wednesday's Oregonian :
Tioabdvime, Or., Jan. 6. To the
editor.)- l notice in your issue oi Jan
uary 6 a communication from Scholl's
altout the route of a proposed railroad
from Portland to Nehalem by way of
usweso, to connect witu tne oiu
Nehalem route near Newton'i 8ta
tion. Being familiar with the route
trom childhood, ana naving conducted
lumber manufacturing business for ten
years, and being familiar with all the
timber resources oi tins section, i inina
I am in a position to give your readers
some idea of the benefits to be gained
liy building a road over this rout 3. In
the first place, there is a choice of three
routes, all of which are practicable, and
would be nearly on a water level, with
out any very heavy grading, and not
much trestle work, and I am satisfied a
road would puy from the time the first
train was run over the road. '
The building of a railroad through
this section of the country ha become
a necessity, and the people are still in
the mood to take hold and help in any
way they can. Leaving Oswego, thj
road would run through a rich tannine
and liopraising country until near
Tien nlvi lie. From Tigardville to
eclioll's there are tine farms in plenty,
besides thousands of acres of timber
suitable for cordwood and lumber
and on the south side of Cooper
Mountain and tributary to the proposed
route are several tlioiiHaiid acres ol tne
finest niliuv and shit) eoar lumber to be
found anywhere in Oregon today. Along
the Toalitan River is a large amount of
the finest beaverdam land only waiting
the advent of transportation facilities to
pour its wealth into the commercial cen
ters. At Scholl's would be a shipping
point for the north side of the Chehalem
Mountain, a strip ol land some four
miles wide by seven or eieht long, all
thickly settled with resources enough to
nearly pay for building tlie road. From
Sdmlls to Newton Station tbe route
would run throueh a fine section of
country, where, at every crossroads,
woiikl be waiting wheat, nay anu cora
wood for shipment.
The resources ot tne nenaiern are too
well known to need more than a casual
mention. Suffice it to say that the tim
ber of tlie Nehalem Valley is the finest
to be found anywhere in Oregon, and is
in such quantity that any one can hardly
comprehend its magnitude. And it is
my candid opinion that the company
which first takes hold and builds a road
over this route will line its pockets, be
sides conferring a lasting favor on tbe
peOple of the richest part of Oregon.
