The 0. U. Extension.
Tlie people of Northern California
who want railroad transportation, and
the merchants of San Francisco who
are arxious to net back tiie lost Ore
gon trade, are deeply interested in the
work being done on the Ca'ifornia it
Oregon road from Delta towards the
state- line, and many are firmly -jf tli"
belief that the railroad "company n ill
",;
uncertainty
uUaeliirgito.ihP matter, the Sin Fran
Cisco "Post" inquired of Senator Stan
ford today whether his company in
tended to complete the line as soon as
possible, or not.
"We ltavH nothing to conceal about
this matter," replied tlie tfeti'itor, "and
our position has been, made clear from
the first, "'lie completion of the road
depends entirely on the. confirmation
of the I itid grant. If the grant is
declared forft-i'ed, we will Mop work
on ihe roul for 'ho excelent reason
th.it without the grant the coit uould
be u!ijnstifiM.
" TUB 0 JJPAKV'S POSITION.
'"I have eyery confidence in the
justice and coiiMih-ratiuu of congress,
and, as no act of ours could be cited in
justification of a forfeture of the grant,
I have no doubt it will 1m coiinVnid.
Upon that and that only depends the
compleiion of ihu road. We have
failed in ro way to eyrrcie due dili-
sence to complete the road. ThestO)
page in work wai though no fault of
ours. As you ar probably aware, the
road was proj-cted to meet HoMhcIhj's
line on the o'her side of the statft line.
You wi 1 readily understand that our
line, which extends toward Ashland,
would ip of no earthly use unless there
was a railioad to connect with when it
wa completed. We had the most
positive assurance that the Oregon
company was going ot. to build, and so
w siit out a bin force of men, when
uddrnly the 0egon camp.my stopped
work, and we were forced to stop also
or take thn alternative of goin on lo
build a line the terminus of hich is a
comparatively desolate cpot in the
middle of an uninhabited country with
not enough local business to justify a
g'od wagon road. The read would be
of no use either to us cr San Francisco
without i he Oiegon connection, and so
e were forcpil to halt and wait until
tlio Oregon people got ready to go
uliedd. . ,
A TALK ABOUT FOKFEITUItES.
"When ve had sufficient assurance
of the extension of the Oregon line
and got ready lo go alieud with our
work we were confronted with an inti-.nati-iu
that as we had allowed time to
l.pe the land grant would be forfeited.
"Wo r.re forced to deppnd upon that
land grant. It makes our bonds
sal.ible. People havp no idea what a
eostly piece of work th road will be.
There is much of it. will cost 80,000
I'er mile, ami that, too, through a
country which has no loeal business
worth considering. The land grant to
us is worthless without the railroad,
and as the. company would be glad to
sell it to set tiers for less than the gov
ernment price, I don't seo how any
settler will lie hurt by congress doing
us the simple justice to couGrut the
graut" i , -
ai
'Tills RORK SOW BCIXG DOXE.
"But what about the work now go
ing oit?
"That," replied Senator Stanford,
"i, as I told you some time ago, sim
ply to pro'ect the woik already doto
and to put the line in condition for us
to go ahead with when our position is
secure. When we thought all was
plain sailing our only anxiety was to
finish the. road as soon as possible and
ge, it open for business. So we sent
out a force, and agreit deal of culvert
work was done in advance of the line.
There are between 400 and 500 msn
working now to secure that work
asainst hirm from winter storms.
Thev are also pushing through a tun
nel under "Kettle T5dly' hill, to savp
us korap seven miles of hauling over a
heavy grade. This piect o work will
be valuable to the siag-i route in case
wa are forced to di-enntinue. It
would be a most ?prious- thing if wp
had to shut down, but I have pvery
confidence in the action of congress
whpn Ihe matter is fully expliined."

Escaped Lepers. At -C.30 o'clock
last evening two men diove up to the
police station nnd informed C'plHiu
llolmberg that they had seen a diuvt
of nnie Chinamen coming towards t lie
city bvidently from the P or Ilou-e,
vvlioe swollen faces told plainly of the
presence of leprosy. Ofii.vr James
was detailed to look the upitter up,
and arrested five of the lepers on
Tenth and JefiVrson ftreeis. Shortly
afterwards the same olHVer .arrested
two more of them on jWoriison and
Second streets. They were locked up
in the city jxil, and will 1m returned
to tlie farm to day. The remaining
two hi)ve not vet been found. The
Chinamen gave as their reason for
leaving to Pjor Farm, that ihey weie
invited to come into town by their
countrymen and view the festivities.
"Purtbind News."
The consumption of liquor in this
country is ofli'.-iallv reported by the
authorities at Washington as amount
ing to 69,loG 003 gallons of spirit!-,
19,185,953 barrrls of fermented liquor
and 20,508,345 gallons of wine. Es
timating the population at about
58,000,000 the average consumption
appears to be aliout 1 2 gallons o
whisky for each person yearly, ovei
10 25 gallons of beer and .35 of a gal
lon of wine. The quantity ot beer
consumed eppears lo be about 595,
000,000, gallons. In other words, the
people of this favored bud drink
about two galbns of liquor for every
bushel of wheat that thev consume.
The growth of opium in China is at
tributed by a good observer to the in
crease of Jlohammedans in the empire.
There are now not less than 20,000,000
Moslems in China, and as thee people
are forbidden to smoke tobacco or to
drink wine or liquor they fall back for
stimulant and narcotic in one on
epium, which' they et In large quan
tities. The North China provinces
now supply nearly all tlio opium con
sumed there, and the prospect is that a
few years will Rea a great falling ofl'in-
the import of Indi-i opium, and that
before the cloio of the century China
wiil virtually produce all her own
opium.
