Tha Railroad Era-The Share of tha
Northwest la It
For many long years the older set
tiers on tbo I'acc Cosst Trailed and
waited Tor numbcrleas conveniences
of life which they had enjoyed east
of tho I.ocky Mouuains. Home of
thorn, who are uot yet old men, were
not eanguino enough to hope to see
tho time when they oould traveiae
the lorn; distance hence to tbu great
cities ot the Mississippi Valley and
Atlantic Coati in tho same number
of days that it required them months
to make the toilsome journey with
their fllow-morinir ox teams. Yet
ven before thoy dreamed ot it, the
event is at hand. Already the loco.
motive is speeding up ami down and
across tho valleys of the Northwest;
tor years California has been joined
to the Kost by the iron band, and
Oregon and Washington Territory
now couut the months to elapse be.
fore they will bear the iron bone as
ho comes thundering adown the
western slope of tho yrcat mountains
to bait upon tbo banks ot the ma-
jcatirt Columbia near where it loses
itself iu the mighty Pacific soon
the dread of Beasicknea and perils
of an owcan voyage will cease to
keep away the timid from our State,
and Oregon's fertile vallej's will
teem with added thousands of people
from tha thickly -settled and worn,
oat fields ot tee older States. Here
they will come from the bitter cold
winters of the exlretno North, from
the overcrowded cities of the East
and from the heal and malaria of the
South, to find homes for themselves
and their cbildrcn. For years the
slagguhncs which bos marked the
growth of this country has been at
tributed to tho lack of overland and
inland communication. For years
tbo people of Portland took spasms
ot railroad fever, held meetings, ira
pGrtuncd Congress and talked rail
road, but no one took hold of them
who was able to build them until a
few years atro.
Within the last year and a half

oat the" great Wtot everywhere, the
gclivc, widespicad and immsoe

the plans, proposals, actual con
struction of them; the combtaations
of those already constructed; the

struggles of each road tor business;
the cutting down ot rales and the
reaching out in ditfcreAl directions.
even lo and beyond our borders
even to the City of Muxico by
companies organized by the roost in.
nucntial and tar-eoing capitalists,
constitute a new era in railroad lite
and enterprise such as the country
bos never before known. And nat
urally, says an exebrnge, this almosl
fever for railroad enterprises is auffi
cicnl to cause thoughtful men lo
pause and inquire, bat are to be
the results and effects of such an on
wonted spirit of railroad adventure?
Undoubtedly the immense products
in tbo s'lape of groM earnings and
clear protita bare had much lo do
with this great excitement in tail,
read matters. The earnings of
forty-six of the principal railroads
of the country, and embracing all
but two, during the past year
amounted lo $139,000,000, of which
8101,000,000 wcro net profits $34,
uOO.000 for passenger fares and 101,
000,000 for freight. Without stop
ping to discus the merit of the
charges to produce such amounts, it
is evident that the idea of earning
101,000,000 a year is enough lo give
railroading an immense impetus.
When such splendid profits accrue
it is not strange that moneyed men
becomo imbued with Ibe idea that
railroading is the broad and royal
road to princely fortunes. And so
we see tbo men of enterprise, as well
as of woalth, alive to the grand op
portunities of opening up new
sections of the country and new
sources of trade, and consequently ol
grand profits. The success of the
L'tiion and Central railroads has
given renewed life to tho great
Northern Pacific now in course of
construction westward ly from tin
western shores of the greatest lake
to the eastern shore of the greatest
ocB. This gigantic enterprise i9
now backed by an amount to
complete tho road which will become
tbo outlet for a country, bound in
tho near future to bo one of the most
prolific and populous on the con
tincnt, and terminate at one of the
best harbors in the world; u road
which for tho greater part of its
length will pass through a country
known lo bo rich in tho precious met
als and capable of furnishing herd of
fat cattle enough todrivo hunger from
the doors of nations. To connect
with tho cars this company bus con
tracted for two or thrco grain ship,
now in process of construction, it is
reported, at Jtoaeh's yard on the
Delaware.
Menu while the Oregon Hail way
and Navigation Company, whose
contemplated system of roads
through iho vast region of fertile
lands lying east of tho Coscndo
Mountains; was detailed our isnuo
yesterday, ia pushing in onlcrpr.8's
with tho utmost energy, and will
soon havo what has been not inap
propriately called an "inland Em

its Btain lines and branches giving
rjilroad advantages to that land

The Oregon .Railway Company,
Limited, is rapidly finishing up iji
oarrow gauge roads in the Woe
lamette Valley, and will soon reahj
out in a southeasterly course toward
their proposed intersection with the
Central Pacific, thus tapping another
region now almost entirely shut out
from tho rest of the world for lack
of all kinds of communication.
With the enterprises above alluded

The story goes that during the build
ing ot Solomon's Tsmple that wise ruler
decided to treat "the artisans employed
on his famous edifice to a baaqaet.
While tho men were enjoying the good
txuisK ao uuuaiT juu proTZueu, AaTiic
boloson mo Ted about from, table to
table, endeavoring to become better
acquainted with his workmen. To oae
he said:
My friend, what is your trade?
A carpenter.
And who makes your tools?
The blacksmith.
To another Solomon said:
What is your trade?
A mason.
And who makes vour tools?
The blaksmith.
A third stated that he was a stone
cutter, and that the blacksmith, also made
his tools. The fourth man that Solomon
accosted was the blacksmith, himself.
He was a powerful man, with bared
arms, on which the muscles stood out in
bold relief, seemingly as hard as the
metal he worked.
"Aad what is your trade, my good
man," said Solomon.
"Blacksmith," laconically replied the
man of the sledge and anvil.
"Aad who makes vour tools?"
"Make 'em myself."
Whereupon Kiag Solomon immedi
ately proclaimed him the king of me
chanics, because he could not only make
his own tools, but also because all other
artisans were compelled to go to him to
have their tools made.
DirrECTCto Water jsr Mruc. A Ger
man chemist furnishes a simple process
for testing the amount of water ia milk,
which can be supplied by any oae. AU
that is reqaired is a small quantity of
plaster of Paris, say one ounce. This is
mixed with the milk to a stiff paste, and
t en allowed to sand. With milk of
1.030 specific gravity, and a tens per tuns
of GO degrees Fahr.,it will harden in ten
hoars; lf 35 per cent, of water is pres
ent, in two hoars; if SO per cent., in oae
aad a half hours; and with 75 per cent.,
ia thirty sua u tea. Skimmed nulk which
3s beea standing fur twenty-four hours
and is of 1.033 specific gravity, sots in
foar hoars; with 50 per cent, of water n
oae hour, and with. 1 5 per cent. y
minutes. Heat should not bo applied
for then the use of the thermometer
woald be required. This test is cer
tainly simple and aot cosily.
