And still they come! People arc nourinc Into tho North. "west by hundreds, and the end Is not yet. Not a day has passed for two months that several families, beside many youne men looklntr for work. have not nassed throneh Pomllpton for Spokane, Seattle and other points m tne inland Empire, but fow of them drop oft at Pendleton. This is mainly because tho railroad enmna. nles sell tickets for Spokane and Se attle and take tho homeseeker to those places, just as cheaply as thoy will sell a ticket to Pendleton. This being the case, the traveler will go to tne end or tho road before he stops and. as a result, tho Ronnrl rnnntrv and other places In Washington, are ninng up with people and only a few of them ever find Pendleton, or learn of the advantages for a man of push that the country hereabouts afford., People Rushing In. On last night's train were 61 peo ple from the different states of the East, going to Spokane. These com posed people of all classes, from the man with money looking for a home and advantages that are not afforded in the thickly settled East, to men who could just barely scrape money enough together to get their tickets, and will land at their destination without money or friends. Some of the latter class have large families and they will not find money hang ing on the bushes for them to provide those depending upon- them with food j and clothing. They will all be able to find work in the different parts of the country, but may not find as easy a row to hoe as they imagined when they left their homes. Train No. 1, which was due here at 8 o'clock this morning, did not ar rive until almost 1 this afternoon, the delay being caused by the homeseek ers, it waiting for the extra sections of immigrant trains loaded with East erners. Something like 100 people woro on this train, and hero they changed cars for Spokane, and went out. on No. 8, which waited for No. 1. Will Continue to Come. They will continue to cpmp for sometime. The homescckcrs rates will last over tho transcontinental lines until the end of this month, and as long as they Inst thero will bo a great westward rush. In speaking of the people leaving St. Paul, a dis patch from that place dated tho 16th, says: Two trains Inst night, two this morning and two tonight on each of tho three coast lines were nocessary to take care of the homescokers' trav el this week. It was the largest yet this year, including passongers and effects. Of this number 1700 went to Manitoba via tho Soo line, 1000 went to North Dakota and northern Minnesota, and about 2300 woro des tined for the far West. In all this movement there was scarcely a foreigner to be seen. Two hundred were from Wisconsin and are bound for Washington to take up timber land for lumbering purposes. Quite a number were attracted by tho new gold discoveries at Thundor Mountain. To the latter point there is likely to bo a rush never before equaled In any mining stampedo in the West since tho days of Deadwood and Lendvillo discoveries. The Grent Northern is overwhelm ed with inauiries concerning the fa cilities for reaching this locality, and is getting out printed matter describ ing the route. 8tat or Ohio, city or tolkdo j m .
