The train hat ing on board the officios of
the roid leaving here, our leiiding bu iness
men and tlie representatives of the press left
the depot at 8:15, and arrived at tho point of
junction, about one mi'e nbove Multnomah
Falls, about 10 o'clock. Immediately over
the tio on which tlio connecting rail was t
be made was meted an ivergreen n-c'i, on
the middle of which was confined a living
eagle. A hundred or more pcrons weie pre
sent and witntssed the laying of the last rails
and tho driving f the final spike. When the
last iron spike had been driven bv tho woik
men Manager Prescott entered up n the ar
duous task of placing and -tarting to its final
home the ftvr tpile which had been prepared
for the oocim.u. And fo'bwiug him, Julge
Deadv, J. N. Dolph and many others of our
representative men, together with the repre
sentative of the StaSoakd, added their gen
tle blows, until at last the spike thoroughly
battered was driven home.
By General demaud Hon. Judge Deady
then delivered the following able and elc-
Suent address on behalf of the people of
regon.
Friends, fellow citizens and officers of the
Oregon RUiway & Navigation Companv: We
are met here lo witness the completion ot
this great Oregon enterprise, which is to put
us in railway communication with the cast
and the vust, the north and the south which
is to lift us out of our long continued isolation
and place us in the front raik ot the peop'e
of the world.
It is difficult for mp to convey to you the
impression which this scene makes upon me,
or to reflect the memories and emotions which
now cluster arouud my heait.
Thirty-three years ago I floated down this
lordly tint then lonely river in an Imtiin
canoe on rriy way to Oregon. I was then u
youth to fortune and to fame unknown, hut
not without hope and coursge for the future
At that time the iron home had not climbed
the Alleghenies ou lvs westward way, ani
you may imagine how little I thought or
dreamed of helpiug to drive tho lait spike In
ita track on the far off Columbia.
Indeed, it is not one hundred years since
this grand river on whose shore we now stand
was discovered since Captain Gray stumbled
in over its bar aud thereUy fastened upon it
forevtr the name of his lucky bark the
Columbia.
Only three quarters of a century ago th
fov.rnment of tho United States first pu
forth its comparatively feeble hand to claim
this unknown shore. The tpike which even
tually fastened it to tho Union, and which
will nsver bo withdrawn, was the expedition
of Leis aid Clark, whijh seventyaevui
years ago floated do n the riveriu sight of
this spot where we now stand, and bore the
stars and stripes from the Missouri to tho
Pacific. Then ihose rock piled hills first
echoed the welcome sounds of the n w uni
versal English speech. ,
Aquart-rofa century liter tint gallant
American soldier of French birth, Col. Ben
jamin Bonneville, explored the country, aud
soon after Washington Irvin? caught the ear
of the public with the cha-ming narrative of
his romantic adventure. With a poetic justice
the managers of this enterprifs rave perpetu
ted his memory by naminj the principal
place on the road in this vicinity Bonneville.
.Foilowinsr him, forty years ago, came the
American 1 1 apper and pioneer
Twenty year ago the Oregon Steam Nai
gation Company sprang into existence and
the the t'dn of traffic and trawl turned up
stream. From Aitoria to Lewiston tho river
was' ploughed with the strong stern wheels
under the enterprise direction or .sins
worth. Reed. Thomrson and Ladd.
Bit all this has passid away and the river
gives place to the rail and the stern wheel to
thn locomotive.
Finally, we congratulate the managers of
this new enterprise, ineir names vwaru,
Dolnh. Prescott. Tnielson and Muir will not
nnlv his remembered in our cuds but nv
blaz ned on our towns, boats, palace cars aud
other monuments of art and utility. And we
trust that they will be wise and moderate in
their management of this creat power and
responsibility and aim to make the public
good ana meir own lueniicai. n-jr. tnem jit
ter the country which fosters them, and put
ting aside all other purposes be content to
act only as the benlficent agents between the
producer and consumer, and no one will ever
have occasiou to regret this day,
TKK REPLY.
In reply to a general call Hon. J N. Dolph
then delivered the following very beautiful
address:
Judge Deady and fellow citizens : On be
half of the absent President and other officers
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany, I thank you for the kind words just ut
tered with reference to them, and congratu
late yen upon the event in which we have
just participated.
The cinnecting of the metropolis of Oregon
with the great ' 'Inland Empire' of the north
west by railroad, Is an event of no small im
portance to the citizens of Portland and the
people of the State of Oregon .
While the honorable gentleman who has
just preceded me was referring to the time
when, and the manner in which he came to
our State, my own recollection his roue back
to the time just twenty years ago when I
came to Oregon, crossing the continent
through what was then for thousands of miles
an almost uabroken wilderness. Tnere was
not at that time west of the Missouri river a
mile of railroad, except' a short road, about
ten miles east of this spot, the motive power
of wh:ch wts a mule, and which was uted by
the O, S. N, Co. as a portage around the Cas
cades. Fourteen years ago last April, I bad the
honor of delivering an address at the breaking
of ground at East Portland for the Oregon
Central Railroad, and remember to have su'd
on that occasiou in substance: "We are fait
being bound to our common country by bands
of iron and steel stronger than hooks of steel
in the Union and Central Pacific railroads has
tening to completion," and in the beautiful
language of another, "before the close of 1870
the iron bora, wilt mingle at one run the
smoke of his nostrils with the spray of both
oceans. When this great work is completed
San Francisco and New York will be nearer
together than Sin Francisco and Portland, the
commerce of the Atlantic and Pacific wi'l be
bound together, and the plains over which it
stretches and the mountains it scales, will
wake from nature's solitude to the whirl and
astivity of advancing civilization passing over
the great t'loronghfare in a conti nuous stream
A still more important enterprise to the State
is the Northern Pacific railroad, connecting
the great lakes with Paget Sound, destined to
be the great thoroughfare across tha conti
nent Over it the Chinese Empire, with iti
six hcndre-1 millions of inhabitants, will poor
its commerce. When these great enterprise,
are completed a tlie of immigration from all
the other portions of the Union it son to set
in for the Pacific coast. Not alons res'len
.adrr ntnrert in search of foitu.e, having no
interest in the country, but the hardy tons of
ion to tstaui'li homes tor themselves and
their families."
Years of disappointment, of hopes deferred,
of patient waitinz, have passid since then ;
ears in which, notwithstanding our great re
soutefsand tur uncqnaled cli nate, every in
dustry languished But thanks to the fore
sight, tho f ith aud the energy of Henry Vil
lard and the confidence and support of h s
friendx; a change has come over us.
Every industry of uur (ommonwealth has
bum stimulated iuto'ncw lite. Our prosperity
is assured. Already the tide of immigration
is letting in upon us. The yreat '"Inland
Empire" of the Northwest may be slid to
have been rediscovered in the discovery of its
udaptibiltty to agiicultuial pursuits.
Portland, instead of being a way station
between the termini if two meat tiansconti
nental railroads, has bee .me, for the time at
least, one of them. 1'ortland i. this day
c mnected with the con inuous line of railtoul
stretching a'waytwards the east, livj hun
dred aud thirteen miles in length, over which
tho fertile valleys of the Northwest shall pour
their wealth at her feet.
Trj-day, in yeur presence, has been dnveu
the last spike which uuites the city of Port
land with the railroad lines of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company and the
Northern Pacific Railroad, and .within a year
will he diiven the last spiku that shall con
nect Portland with the great railroad system
of the un on. Then will begin to pour into
the State such a tide f immigration as has
never been witnessed- in any otner portion ot
the union. And closely following upon the
completion of the Northern Pacific will be the
comp'etion of the Oregon & California Rail
road, cor netting tne two gre it cities ot tne
Pacific coast. Who shall att- mpt to prophecy
what 'the next fourteen ) ears will bring forth!
1 a in satisfied that the most sanguine do rot
yet fully comprehend our future. I firmly
ueneve uiai no portion ui tne uuiuii, auu i:i
harn no portion of the earth, possesses such
a combination of advantages as this North ,
west country, and no where else does labor
bring su h a sure and bountiful reward as
here. Our f -rtile soil, our mineral wealth,
cur forests of timber, and more than all, the
mildness of our Winteis, which so gieatly
lessen the cost and labor of agricultural pur
sues, are sure to attrict in the near future a
great population to our State. In
wealth and population tnis country win at
no distant day, surpass New England. The
principal agent which is to bring this great
population to our borders, which is to
develop cur resources and to iurnish our
fertile valleys the means of transportation, in
short, which is to infuse the li'o current into
every industry of the country, is the railroad.
ret ow eitizjns, as citizens ot tne state, in
tercs'.ed in her development, as citizens of
Portland, interested iu its prosperity, I mingl"
my contrratulations with tours upon the
auspicious event o' tliis hour.
Alter tho addresses tlie caterer invited an
present to his car, an 1 all that was eatable
ur drinkable was served in profusion Toasts
were drank to ViUird, the 0. R. S: N.
Co , and otho-s, and a general go id tima was
had, Thw train arrived at East Portlaud at
1 :40, and all aboard felt that they had a mo t
enj lyab'e tiip.
It ii needless for the Standard to add a
word as to tho importance of tha work done.
It is fully set forth in the eloquent addresses
above. Sufficient to say that Portland has
by thn driving of the spike to-dav become the
commercial metropolis of the New Nortuwcst,
and undo her future of greatness certiin be
yond possibility of failure. Yet .i little
longer, and sho will put her hand upon the
pulse of tho worl i and teel its every b;ating.
Her isolation is at an end and her cosmopn
it in life lias been begun,
As soon as depjt facilities can be provided,
regular passenger trains will run from Port
land 512 miles est aud back. The hart of
the continent will be daily reached from'Port
laid. Au immense future lies straight before
our business men, and they have but to stretch
forth their hands to secure it. And that they
will do so, none who know them, doubt.

A Man Thraws Away His Old deities with
91,-tM In the Poekrts.
Yesterday Mr. Stowell Cram of Pendleton,
who is visiting our city, treated himself to a
new pair of pantaloons and some undercloth
ing. Being engaged in the stock business he
thought a bath and chingc of garments would
be healthy. He accordingly visited a bathing
establishment, ani having perforn.el his ab
lutions, donned his purcha-rs. The old clothes
being of no further tne to him he rolled them
in a parcel aud went do an on a dock to drop
it in tne river. There tieinga snip at tne
do.'k lso walked in under tho wharf ana de
posited his burden by the side ot a pile. Some
time after he had occasion to spend some
tn 'njey, and found to his horror that he had
left his pocktthook, containing $200 in gree i
backs, a uote for $1,000 diawn in his favor by
his brother Perry Cram, and some other docu
ments of value in the pock-Ms of his discardeel
pantaloons. He at O'ice returned to the dock
to seek for his treasure but found, like Enoch
Arden, that "someone had been there while
he was gone," and that the parcel had been
opened and the pocket-book was gone. Mr.
Lewis, one of the pub'ishers of the Traveler'
Quide, seeing him coming out from under the
wharf looking excited, asked him if he had
lost anything. He explained the situation to
Mr. Lewis, who said he had seen two cob red
boys on the wharf, and by their action judged
they had met with something uiiu'iiil. Mr.
Cram at once started for the police and found
Officer Hoblnbertr. Mr. Lewit in the mem
time bad search d around the wharl and
found the pocket book tucked in a hole in the
wall. On the return of Mr Cr im and the office
it was found that $80 had been extracted from
the book. Mr. Lewis furnished a description
of the boys, and Officer Hollenberg shortly
after found one of them playing billiards in a
saloon. He at once produced 'he $80, sayine
that the other boy had given him tho money
to keep, and that if any inquiry was made
about it he was to restore it to the owner.
Mr. Cram presented Mr. Lewis with $20 for
his services, an 1 mty consider himself a very
lucky man, aud when he next shucks him
self he will probably look out for the contents
of his pockets before he parts with his slough.

A correspondent of tho Salt Lake 7'ribune,
writing from the railroad crossing of the Hel
ton sage road, sajs: To come, to see, to con
quer tho minor difficulties of life, is a com

plan and execute so prodigious an undertaking
as the construction of a railroad acrss the
arid plains and through the locky hills of
Idaho Territoiyj to conquer the stubborn re
sistance of the vast be.ls of lava rock, to say
nothing of a kind of cement abounding, is an

The inquest on the remains of the man
found in the river last week, was resumed
yesterday by Coroner Cooke. The -body still
remains unidentified, although several per
sons, as is usual in such cases, have stated
that they knew or had seen the man in life.
Several employes of the steamer Queen were
examined. .
J. C. Donning, boatswain, testified to hear
ing a splash about 10 minutes before the
steamer reached the dock as it something had
fallen overboard,
Wm. Keogh, second steward nn the Queen,
being sworn, tes'ified: Ou the night of Sept.
18th, between 10 and 11 o'clock, heard a
noise in stateroom 52. A worn in was lament
ing the loss of her husband and said some
thing about his being thrown overboard. I
tried to quiet her. She said she was sure her
husband had been flung overboard, for she
saw blood on the port side of the ship and
heard moans and a heavy splash. She after
ward said a boy had found her husband.
Frank Noe, a wsiter on the Queen, was
night watchman in the saloon on the 18th.
Was attracted by a noise in room 52. Went
to the room and found a lady cryins for her
husband. She said something about him
havinsr plenty of money and lieing robbed
and thrown overboard. She said sho had
been dozing when Bhe was awakened
by moans and a splash in the water
Sho saw blood stains on the side
of the f hip, near the port-ho'e and showed
thrmto me. She asked me to go and look
for her husband, and I told ber I would when
I was rolievitl fn m my watoh. Saw her son,
about 17 vears old, and told him to eo and
look for his father; he started off. The lsrly

was snre itwas her husband who had either
fallen or been pushed overboard; she said she
recognized the voice of the man who went by
her port hole as that of her hu.bird
It is quite certain that a murder has been
committed, and it is to be hoped that the

The Standard Mills. At the Standard
Flouring Mills, says the Walla Walla Slatef
man, we gut the following items of interest of
Mr. Robert McCally: The mills have a ca
pacity of 160 barrels of flour every 24 hours;
and just now the establishment is (perated
diy and night. The firm are taking in about
1,500 bushels of grain each day, and have
lully ou.uuu bucliels -on Hand, nil tne grain
bins and warehouse being well filled at present
writing. Last yoar at this tune they had 7000
barrels of flour and plenty of fccdoi hind.
To-day there is not a barrel unsold and an
order at hand for a large 1 t for San Fran
cisco. Most of the fee I is so'd along the line
of the Northern Pacific to the front, where
large quan.ities are used. The following shows
the advance: Last year bran was selling at $6
per ton. It i worth $12 to-day. Shorts sold
last year for $10. It is now selling for $15.
Middliius were worth $15 last season; this
season $2o. At these rates this feed is soil
as rapidly as it can bo made. They have large
orders for this fe?d for this country about Che
ney. This firm shipped 1,000 ban els of flour
to the Northern Pacific last im nth, an 1 ns
much more along the Columbii to the Cms
cades. Not only is thebrand Standard, but
that is the quality of the flour made by this
firm, and ic ir, not surprising that such a do
maud has been created for it.

reports that the railroad boom has struck tho

informed that a company has been orguiizcii
to construct a lino of road from Cold Spring
to some point yet undecided, upon the road
from Walla Walla. Partus are in the field
looking out the most fcasib'e route. Such a
line would tap the best part of the famous

prove a most profiiablo investment. Tne

The New Comet.
When on the train going from Wallula to

writer saw the new comet in the South.
Though daylght was growing bn tho ky, it
remained visible long after the stars had all
disappeared. Its nucleus is plainly to be seen,
ani its tall reaches far up in the southwestern
sky. It is quite a notable object, and well
wo-tli seeing by all who are interested in na
tural objects. Those who rise early may have
tot noticed it, and all such should look for it.
As for those who do uot rise early, it will pay
them well to do so for once to get a viow of
the fast speeding stranger of the heavens.
