Stealing quietly westward from Fort Fet terman the sixth transcontinental line of railway is attracting little attention; but al though there is no nourish of trumpets the work goes steadily on. The Chicago i Northwestern railway company which has the enterprise in band, has recently con tracted for 1G0.000 tons of steel rails, the creator part of which, aocoiding to the state ment of its officials, is to be nsed in new mil eage. Work was abandoned on the hue west of Fort Fetterman last winter, but it was again resumed on the 1st inst. Thore can no longer be any doubt that the objoot of the company in building westward through Wyoming and Idaho is to reach the i acino coast. The line, as newly surveyed, will oro&s the Snake river near Facie Bock. I. T., and rue thence in a nearly direct line to Boise City, there to connect with the Ore gon Pacific, tin which the. Northwestern' stockholders are deeply interested. .Mean while the work on the Oregon Pacifio east ward is being quietly but none the less effectively prosecuted. Contracts have been let for the building of 120 miles of track this year. The extent of completed line will remove the eastern terminus from Albany, Or., to Camp Polk, in the same state. It is a big undertaking for a Co. like that of the Oregon Pacifio to build a line to Boise City, but if Northwestern capital is behind it there can be no doubt of its ability to do so. It is the confident prediction of a well known railroad official that the Northwestern will be running trains to the Pacifio coast be fore the end of the year 188!). One indication of this is that the eoiuimnv has recently contracted for the delivery of auuo ireignt cars and a large number of new locomotives and passenger cars. There is every reason to believe, sav the Chronicle, that the Chicago & Northwestern railway is heading for the Pacifio Coast coming directly west from Fort Fetterman, Wyoming territory, through Idaho and Ne vada. The Northwestern people are rupid and daring builders, and they may fulfill their boast that they will be running trains into San Francisco as quickly as the Santa Fe. Commissioners Court.

Aid was summoned by Mr. Smith and he was Dome to ma miner s house where he lingered Unconscious until Wednesday morning when he peacefully passed away. Dr Sharpies was sent for im mediately after the accident and on his nr rival did what be could to alleviate me sun erincs of the unfortunate young man.

The ground on which the Secretary of the Treasury bad consonted to make this com promise was that Griswold was a pauper, Now eomes Mr Dowell and files a motion in the U. S. Circuit Court yesterday asking that an order be made transferring to blm the sum of $2300 belonging to Griswold, which was allowed him some time since on war claims, and which bos been lying in the treasury ever since. The matter was taken under advisoment by Judge Deady. It seems a little singular that the Secretary of the Treasury should consider Griswold a pau per when he bad the sum of $2300 lying in tne treasury. uregoniun. 9 School Report.
