In the presence of 600 cheering pooplo, who traveled 50 miles to witness the ceremony, the golden Fpiko was driven in the North Bank road yesterday after noon. J. ho exercises were held at Sher idan's Point, three miles west of Steven son, Wash., and although they occupied but a few minutes, wero impressive. The driving home of the golden epike was regarded by the spectators as sig nalizing the dawn of a pew epoch in the railroad history of the Pacific coast. The gray old mountains that looked down on the coming of the tiny canoes of Lewis and CI aide, over 100 years ago, stand all around the spot wherothe last epiko was driven yesterday. Almost on the very place where the last rail was laid, an old blockhouse, erected by pioneers, withstood the repeated at tacks of Indians and after it had served its purpose, was washed away by a flood in the Columbia river. The Bpecial train that was run to Lyle yesterday over the new Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway was made up at Vancouver, and the people who tically every salo heretofore made by fn?t on ot,. sncon commissioners for nnnlyMla during tno pnai the railroads, but cross-nnoatlnnin, ,ti1J,9.5'ty' i.?rol"t,0.n w the bacteriological dcpartm-iic at ho of tho who investigated tho land grant clearly developed tho fact that tho proposed "Innocent purchasers" amendment contains a joker which In reality would have fully protected tho railroad company against any suit which tho department of justice might Institute.

In connection with the pleas of attorneys, It was observed that General Land Agent Eberline, of the Southern Pacific, who blocked sales of railroad land In ;and after 1902, was present, together with L. E. Payson, eastern counsel for tho Harriman railroads, and Mr. Rich, a New York banker, who holds $20,000,000 of the Oregon & Cali fornia comapny's bonds.

George II Ilimes. secretary of the Oregon Historical Bociety, was intro duced and dwelt on thexhistoric signifi cance of driving the golden epike of the new road where the pioneers .took refuge from the attacks ot the Indians. Charles H. Carey, of Portland, coun sel for the Hill lines in this territory, was called upon and responded with a speech. Mr. Townsend called attention to the fact that in 1S70 the East Side Co. conveyed Its entire grant to the Oregon & California Co., so that the company, under the proposed amend ments, could be regarded as a "pur chaser for value and without fraud." The same is true of the West Side grant under the sale of 18S0. More over .there are two trust deeds of 1881, which convey the entire land grant to the preferred stockholders without condition.

H. Latourette, a present of 50 pistachio nut trees from the govern ment experimental farm at Chico. Cal., for distribution to the members of the club. The pistachio is a native of WeBtern Asia, but is grown in Eosjland and France. It is believed that the similarity of the Willamette vultay cli mate to those two countries will insure the successful growing of the.nn h here. The nuts are very high priced, and are used principally for flavoring tho more expensive confectionery. The Walnut club is active in intro ducing new varieties of products to the soil of tliis vicinity.
