Coast Mail: Within the past few
days several valuable timber claims in
this vicinity have changed hands and
negotiations are now pending for still
further sales. James I Ferrey
last Wednesday transferred to John
Kruse for the sum of $5,000, his right
and tide to the timber on a quarter
section of land, Kruse has twelve
years in which to remove the timber,
and at the expiration of that time the
land, tramways, ditches and other im
provements will revert to Ferrey. A.
O. Aiken sold to Kruse for $4,500
the timber on 280 acres of land located
on the same section, and James Aiken
has leased to Kruse his place and the
right of way through it for 13 years,
$500 per annum. D. L Watson has
transferred to A. Lobree, for $4,500
his interest in between 700 and 800
acres of timber land on Isthmus
slough. These changes indicate prep
arations for an active logging business
in the interest of the purchasing par
ties.

A fearful disaster occurred at Spo
kan Saturday Deo 24, upon the North
ern Pacifio Railroad. Two trains,
wood and freight, as we understand,
met at the usual speed, or without suf
ficient warning, making a complete
wreck of engines, cars, cto., killing
Nicholas Metcalf, fireman of engine
No. 25, and conductor Albert Kitchen.
Engineer Ellis of engine No 18, had
his band seriously injured, Fireman
James Sproul was scalded and bruised.
Wednesday tho wreck of those demol
ished trains was brought into town.
Three box cars and one passenger car
were badly broken up, A corener's
jury hold Tuesday 28th, found con
ductor Joseph Ellis, of engine 18,guilty
of criminal negligence which caused
the disaster. The public are deeply
interested to know tho detailed facta.
Room for a new track has been
cleared to the right of the wreck of the
two engines on Hangman creek and
the rails relaid to allow passage of
trains. The engines were literally de
molished. They are the most "power
ful machines and can be ill spared from
active work. We do not doubt that
extreme care is taken by the Railway
Managers for the safety of life and
property of the public, and we hope
full particulars of the responsibility of
the sad accident will be placed before
thera. Mountaineer.
The Boom Increasing.
The price of property at the north
ern end, says the Tortland Stand
ard is still advancing. In fact, it
seems as if there was no price set on
it until an offer is made, and then pres
to, up it goes, twenty or fifty per cent,
in advance of what is offered. A
block near the one sold by Messrs J.
Boyd and W. W. Spaulding for $6,000.
They have lately boon offered $26,000
for it, but demand $30,000. The north
ern half of the donation claim of Peter
Guild and wife, including all the tide
and overflowed lands along or on
the western shore, or sido of the Wil
lamette within its bounds, has been
purchased by Mr. P. L Willis, for the
sum of of $40,000, from Mrs. Elizabeth
Guild, and a tract adjoining, contain
ing 20.35 acres, belonging to George
and Dora Guild, has also been pur
chased by the same party for $2,000.
An advance of $20,000 has been al
ready offered the fortunate investor.
The whole Guild tract, which includes,
in addition to the above parcels, some
87 acres, was only assessed for a value
of $3,700 at the Inst assessment.
k Stalwart Revet.
Colonel McClure of the Philadel
phia Times, who has been spending
some time at the National Capital
"There is now a stalwart revel
in Washington. The men who lisped
tho praises of Garfield when he came
into power, and the men who spoke of
his suffering and probable death with
tremulous voice, are not heard in the
hotels, nor in the streets, nor in tne
Departments. His sun has set and,
the fitful worshipers of the Capitol
who have praise for every present
ruler, and contempt for every ruler of
the past, now speak of Arthur as the
savior of the party the statesman of
the age the candidate of 1884."
Yamhill's Solid Me.v. There are
139 persons and firms in Yamhill
county paying taxes of $100 and over.
Hon. J. C. Braly is the heaviest resi
dent taxpayer, his share being $970 50.
Tho O. i C. II. R. pays $2,555, and
S. G. Reed follows in the list, paying
$1,011 25.
O. P. R. R. Notes. Three engin
eering parties will commence surveying
from Albany eastward within the next
ten days. Seventy miles of steel rails,
1,000 tons of fish-plates, bolts, tc, and
six 36-ton railroad engines are now in
San Francisco, awaiting shipment to
Yaquina Bay.
The revenue raised from the single
article of tobacco alone, which this year
is estimated at $45,000,000, would
more than have paid the entire annual
expense of the Government for any
year prior to 1851. Republicanism
and extravagance caroe in together.

extraordinary price of peltry and the'
success of such hunters as the Martin
brothers stimulating many to hunt for
the gain. In the district of which .
Camp Polk is the northwest corner, a
square of eighteen miles each way har
within it thirty-six hunters at this
date, that is a hunter for every nine"
square miles. On account of the fact
that the game mostly seek (he warmestr
and best sheltered portion of the diB-'
trict, the actual ground hunted cpon t
reduced to less than half of that area'
to each hunter. The hunters follow
the general movement of the game;:
shooting begins with daylight and is
continued through the day, much of
tho firing being at long range with the
game running. As a consequence,
much ammunition is thrown away. It
is severe labor to hunt on foot in this
sage and juniper country, and though
these thirty-six hunters may average'
one deer each daily, perhaps, one-third
of them will get two each, leaving a1
like proportion to get nothing. The
general practice is to drive out to some'
spot on the. desert where a supply of
water for camp use can be secured.
Some regular hunters use a tent, but
generally a slight temporary shelter of
juniper boughs is constructed, from'
which shooting commences, and to'
which the game is brought on horse-'
back, after being drawn where killed. -From
camp it is hauled by wagon to
the homestead of the hunter, where ar
I have said before, it is dressed, cut up'
and cured. It is a unique sight to see'
the dwelling house of a settler and all'
his outhouses and barns clothed, so to'
speak, with deer skins stretched out' to'
dry, but that is a frequent sight in this'
vicinity, and around many of the home-'
steads here, the pine trees are used for'
the same purpose, each good sized tree'
having two skins nailed upon its face.1''
Tne Canadian1 Pacific.
Andrew Onderdonk, to whom thV
contract for building the western end1
of the Pacifio transcontintinal railroad1
was awarded, is now in San Francisco.
The length of road required to bebuilf
under the contract is 125 miles.'- The'
route offers very serious obstacles; itt so
far as speed of progress is coricerned,-
on account of the high precipices which1
have to be crossed, and the general'
rocky nature of the country, requiring
for the greater portion to be shelved'
and galloried. About 60 miles of the
line have been graded and at least 201
milos ironed. The cost of construct-"
ing a mile is $150,000. The force of
white laborers at present employed in'
the works numbers about 1500 men,
with a like number of ChinaMen.- This
will be increased in the spring- to 10,-'
000 men. The whites receive two do!-'
lars a day, the Chinese half' that)
amount Along the road store haver
teon opened where the provisions and
clothing needed by the laborers can ber
obtained. Boarding houses have also
been opened, at which whites an)'
charged $16 a month and Chinese $10.
The explosives are manufactured at the
scene of operation, all other supplies
being received from 'Frisco, England
or Canada. The contract price for
building the section of the road for
hich Mr. Onderdonk is the contractor
is $10,000,000. He expects to com
plete the contract in about three years.-
The rood, though originally inaugu
rated by the dominion government
has been recently turned over to the
syndicate. The entire distance is 4,500
miles, and the road when completed,
will be the longest unbroken1 line in
the world. It will be completed it
1890, at a cost of sixty million dollars.
An effort will then be made to control
the Oriental trade, and with this eadf
in view a line of steamers will be
plaoed on the Pacific, with the probabil
ity f another to Australia.-
