Railway Matters.
I'rom the Oreonian.
Mr. Henry Thielscn was in the city
yesterday making nrrnngoniGiits for
placing in the field two more surveying
parties One of these parties is to
make a preliminary purvey from the
mouth of the Snake river to Portland,
on the Oregon side. The other party
will make a general examination of the
Palousc country. The object of these
surveys U t) obtain dati for judgment
as to the best means to be adopted for
development of a proposed railway sys
tem. The Boise Statesman of the Oth
thus speaks of movements in that quar
ter: Messrs. Haily, Logan nnd Pink
hnm. who went with Mr. Thielsen, the
chief engineer of the Oregon Pacific
railroad, on his recent trip to Eagle
Rock from this place, returned home
hv sta??ii on Tuesday last. From what
j 1 ;
we can learn from these gentlemen,
Mr. Thielscn was favorably impressed
with the route traversed and examined
by this party, and no doubt exists that
the road will be built froin some point
on the present finished road, and that
it will pass through Big Camas prairie
in the direction of this city. Mr.
Thielsen regards the route examined as
every way practicable for a railroad,
and on the most direct line. The Utnli
Morthern is already advanced beyond
Eagle 11 ek, on its way in the direc
tion of Montana, but will probably
uiakc a terminus at least for an indef
inate time at Market Lake, where it
will command for the present the Mon
tana and Yankee Fork trade. The
main line which Jay Gould says he
intends to push as rapidly as possible
will be through Southern Idaho and
Eastern Oregon to the Columbia river.
Mr. Thielsen went on from Eagle
Pock to Ogden where he expected to
meet Jay Gould and others connected
with the enterprise, from which place
he will return here, where he may be
expected to arrive in a few days. Mr.
Campbell, the assistant engineer, is
with Gen. Carteeof this place, engaged
in surveying the route down the South
Boise from Little Camas prairie. All
the movements and expressions thus far
indicate the almost certainty that the
road will be built through the Camas
prairies and down the Boise river to
this place. Through private sources
we learn that Mr. Thielsen is now on
the way back from Kelton, and will
make examination of the country be
tween Snake river aud Baker City, and
after that will make a survay with a
view th deciding on the best route for
reaching Walla Walla or Umatilla.
Death ok Mrs. Major Stewart.
A dfcpntch to the Oreomnu from As
toria says: Mrs. Stewart, wife of Maj.
Stewart, of the 4tli artillery, U. S. A.,
stationed at Fort Canby, W. T., died
unexpectedly to-day at the Occident
Hotel in this city. Mrs. S. was a pas
senger from Sm Francisco on the S. S.
Oregon's last trip and gave birth to a
child during the voage. The little
girl baby is living and doing well.

Royal Arch Chapter A. F. and A. M.

cers of the lodge: J. 13. Congle, Grand

Some people are always complaining
about what is written about them in a
newspaper, and threaten dreadful
things against the writer thereof. Per
haps the following will be a warning
to them: A man coming out of a
Texan newspaper offico with one eye
gored out, his no.so spread all over his
face, and ooe of his ears chewed oiF, to
a policeman who interviewed him, re
plied: "I did not like an article tnat
'peared in the paper last week, and I
went in to see the man that writ it,
aod he war there."
''Mamma, it looks negligent to see
your ehiidred in the spring of the year
with their faces all broken out in filthy
sores. Tell husband to bring home a
bottle of Pfundcr,s Oregon Blood puri
fier and give the little pets a dose ev
ery morning, and you will find their
happy, healthy, blooming cheeks the
envy of all the neighborhood."
Talking of a railroad the Boise
Statesman says: Three passes ars spo
ken of: First, up Burnt river on the
line of the staue road; second, from
Snake river, near tho mouth of Boise
river, to Hinehuit's crossing of the
Malheur, by way of Malheur City,
Eldorado and thence to Baker City;
third, o down Snake river to the
mouth of Powder river, and then up
Powder river until you strike the pla.
teau on the right) and thencc.to Grand
Rondo by way of Pyle's canvon. This
latter route would leave Baker City
some 80 miles distant, but it is not
considered the most practicable.
Hayes, last week, kissed 4G young j
ladies of a Maryland boarding school,
who had called on him. Can't he be
satisfied with getting the Presidency
away fiom Mr. Tilden, and not rob
Tom Thumb of his laurels? Standard.
