RAILWAY TRAFFIC . NEXT YEAR.
i
Unless one of two events occur
next year the passenger traffic of Amer
ican railways will . be something enor
mous incident to the Columbiau exposi
tion. These two drawbacks ' are first,
the possibility of cholera becoming epi
demic, and second, the liklihood of a
great strike nuiong railway employes for
higher wages at a time when not to
comply with their demand will seriously
cripple the railroads and damage the
fair. Otherwise the railroads should do
such a volume of passenger business as
will enable the companies to pay fat and
comfortable dividends to their stock
holders. From this the Financial News
expects at any time to see a great bourn
in American railway shares.
ine general public is not so much in
terested iu stock speculation in this con
section as in having the railways regu
late their rates to some reasonable figure
The fare will not he the most expensive
item in the cost of a visit to the exposi
tion, but low rates tend to draw larger
crowds, where higher rates discourage
attendance. If a low rate be made by
all the railroads, whereby the people
living in the extreme ends of the coun
try may go to Chicago and return at
moderate price, the fare will be deluged
with visitors and the aggregate returns
to the roads will be greater than if com
paratively few people went at a higher
rate. It remains to be seen whether the
railroad companies will act with judg
ment in this respect. The vast, bulk of
their business must come from the peo
pie of this count rv. The influx of for
eign travel will be relatively small.
After having secured their handsome
returns the western roads might advan
tageously invest it by the building of
new branches and spurs. Excepting
the work of the Great Northern in ex
tending its main line to the Pacific,
railroad construction in the northwest
has not been very vigorously pushed
during the past two years. Any num
ber of wealthy mining and agricultural
districts in the Inland Empire are but
awaiting means of transportation to de
velop their latent resources. Central
yregon ana Washington are among
them. Given cheap rates and promise
of railway extension into these districts
with the profits accruing, and the peo
ple of the Pacific northwest will attend
the fair in a bod'.
Just Received !
The mining claim which the notorious
Matt Graham salted bo artistically that
a British company has eagerly wasted
over $1,000,000 upon it in Idaho, has at
last been abandoned as absolutely worth
less. Not a single pay streak could be
found ; nothing but barren country
rock, through which four thousand feet
- of shafts and tunnels have been driven
by the hopeful miners. The splendid
- mining and milling machinery, the origi
nal cost of which ran away up into
the hundreds of thousands, and the
transportation of which, into that al
most inaccestiDie country, cost a gener-
- ous fortune, has all been abandoned,
and the superintendent will now pro
ceed to England and report to the vic
timized company, who will then decide
what to do with their expensive outfit.
The Silver mountain swindle, while it
greatly benefited Matt Graham, re
sulted disastrously for Idaho, as capital-
. ists will in future be wary of investin
money in rich but undeveloped mines g
-.that state.
Cholera we are told, is waiting to
make a grand rush across our borders in
the spring. It is well to remember sag
gests the Oregonian, that the best safe
guard again t it is an intelligent, well-fed,
clean, self-respecting people. Pauper
ism, neglect, filth, overcrowding and
low diet are its chief allies. An intelli
gent economic and sanitary system is
the best preventive against epidemic
diseases that has ever yet been devised.
Quarantine becomes necessary because
this system is not in general use among
mankind.
Walla Walla celebrated its third of a
century anniversary last week. The
village had first been called Walla Walla,
then Steptoeville, then Wailatpu, when,
on November 17th, 1859, the county
commissioners in answer to a petition
and a protest, the former asking that a
town be laid out to be known as Wail
atpu, the latter that it be called Walla
Walla, laid out the town calling it Walla
Walla, designating it as the county seat,
' and describing its boundaries.
Snow in the Cascades is reported to
be two feet deep at the Great Northern
tunnel, and a foot deep on the Wenat
chee summit. The snowfall in that re
gion is heavier now than has been known
at this time for many seasons.

A CHILDLESS HOME.
Smith and his wife have every luxury
that money can buy, but there is one
tmnz lack in a: to their happiness. . Both
are fond of children, but no little voices
prattle, no little feet patter in their
beautiful home. 44 1 would give ten
years of my life if I could have one
healthy, living, child of my own," Smith
often says to himselt No woman can
be the mother of healthy offspring m
less she herself is in good health. If she
suffers from female weakness, general
debility, bearing-down pains and func
tional derangements, ner physical con
dition is such that she cannot hope to
have healthy children. Dr. Pierce's
JFavorite Prescription is a soverlgn and
guaranteed remedy for all these ailments.
