THE XOXTSXEKX PACIFIC.
New York, Sept. 20, Tho annual !
report of the Northern Pacific says that j
wbilo the earnings per mile of the older !
portion of the road show a atisfactory j
increase, the rates of earnings to the to- j
tal milage was necessarily loss for the
firtvear just closed thanihe preceding
year," from the fact that of the addition- j
al 700 miles of road operated nearly 000
wero newly constructed line, traver.ing
regions where the read had created a
settlement and a business ik-U. As it
advanced the .earning capacity of this
mileage will soon be demonstrated, now
that connection cf cur tracks has been
effected and "our line opontd to the Pa
cific coast. Of the proceeds e bonds
$4,593,0 1 G were paid .Tunc 30, lfS3t to
tho Oregon and Transcontinental com
,pany, on account of indebtedness to it
for loans and advances. The excess of
expenditures, ou account of construction
and equipment, amounting to $7,9'G,.r)07
over the cash receipts, from the proceeds
of the $10,000,000 general mortgage
bonds, sales of the preferred stock, and
other sources of income, arise from sev
eral causes, chief among which are the
increased cost of construction. To avoid
embarussments from large floating lia
bilities arrangements were enterred into
with the Oregon it Transcontinental
company, under which tliat company
was to make an advance of money need
ed, and to accept therefore such negoti
able security as this cqjnpany is compe
tent to give, the terms and form whereof
will be decided hereafter.

WHY VILLARD SHARES AIXV. TUMBLING.
Philadepphia, Sept. 21. Tho Prea
financial article says: "The depression
in Villard's stocks yesterday was caused
by old holders selling largely. It is
known that Villard has spent a great
deal more money in building tho road
than seme of tho old directors have
thought wise. It is also known that the
road 1-as a large floating debt. There is
much expensive work to do on it before
it is completed, even to the point of
connection with the Oregon Navigation
company, which is not by any means the
completion of tho road, as the authori
ties at Washington understood it. It is
intimated by careful men, in a position
to know, that from $10,000,000 toSliy

VILLARD II AS SPENT TOO MfCU MONEY.

yesterday. What the outcome will be
no one tried even to guess. Whether
Villard will return to New i ork and
support his stocks with his old vim, or
whether he will allow the bears to go on
is not known. In New York alone 90,
100 shares of preferred and '2 1,900
shares of common were dealt in.

Sax Francico, Sept. 21. Special.
Itelutive to i dispatch from New York
stating that the oldest stockholders in
Northern Ptu-Uie objected to tiie expen
ditures made over the original estimates
of the cost of building, John Muir said
to an Okewonian corre-spondent this
afternoon that the charges contained
therein couid not be substantiated. The
road had been constructed as economi
cally as was consistant with speed, and
its progress was watched and carefully
noted by men experienced in. railroad
construction. While , President Villard
wf.s in reality financier of the road, his
attention was generally directed to its
various departments. On the other
hand, the statement contained in the
dispatch was wholly at vaiiance with
the sentiments expressed by the stock
holders, who had embraced every oppor
tunity to witness the practical working
of the road at the time of the laying of
the last rail. Those who did inspect the
road declared themselves immmensely
satisfied with it as completed and con
structed under the supervision of Presi
dent Villard and Vice President Oakes,
the latter ha.'ing given his personal at
tention to every detail of expenditure
connected with the vast undertaking.
UNCLE RVFCS HATCH EXTHl'SI ASTIC.
New Vork, Sept 21. Special.- Iiu
fus Hatch told a J'cus' reporter to-day:
I've scon enough to make me a bull on
everything in that section of country
through which I've traveled. I believe
from what 1 know of railroad land grants
and my experience regarding them cov
ers thirty years, that the sale of the
Northern Pacific lands alone will yield
sufficient, to rederm its stock and bonds
in less than ten years. Where I saw
stations only a year ago there are now
cities, towns and villages. The locomo
tives, nearly all new, and of the very
latest construction, steel nils the intire
length of the road, and their. equipment
equals any of the eastern roads. The
day passenger cars on the New York
Central would be considered only fair
emigrant cars out there." 1'deyram.
3!r. Villard Replies to the Astoria
Dispaicli
Astoria, Sept. 21. Special. On
the 18th inst the following dispatch was
sent to Mr. Villard:
If a conti-act for building the Astoria
and Fox est Grove railroad complete
could be 1st at 630,000 per mile, and
land for terminus at Astoria donated,
can you then commence construction of
tho road ?
E. C. Holden, secretary of the Asto
ria Chamber of Commerce, to-day re
ceived the fallowing answer:
E. C. iroiden: Will be very glad to
pay any one; who will build tho road in
accordance with the engineer's plan5? and
specifications $20,000 ' per mile in first
and $10,000 per mile in second mortgage
bonds all tho available means the com
pany has provided the proper termi
nal facilities iii Astoria are assured. To
correct an eronious impression I will add
that the estimate of cost in my letter
includes full oquiptnient of buildings,
discount on bonds, interest during con
struction, general expenses and other
items not included in the estimates prop
er of the engineer.

Portland, was received:

T. F. OAKS, Vice-President.
Lawhence, Kansas, Sept 7, 1883.
My Dear Uncle Geo. It lias been
some time since I have written to you.
1 write now lo tell you lam at Lawrence
Kansas; that my dear Uncle Charles
Branscombe is here- and has lxrtlght the
finest farm in this Co., it is worth with ;
the 80 acres lie had before about $21000.
We shall go into the business of stock
raising, mostly pure blooded stock. The
farm is just outside the city limits. I
suppose you know that Lawrence is the
finest city in Kansas; it is now growing
fast. 1 think in a few years it will be a
place of 25000 people, Kansas is hav
ing good crops this year. My uncle
Charles and family arc all well. At thur
Chase, Dr. N. B. Chase's son, was here
to-day. lie is the manager of Rhea
troupe. Rhea is the leading French Ac
tress in the world. He made well in
Kansas City, making over $2000 clear
in one week. Uncle Charles goes to Io
wa to-day to soe in regard to his Iowa
lands. I should be pleased to hear from
you, also to have you send mo your pa
per. I suppose you have been sending
it to Kansas City, but some one takes it
out there and I do not receive it; jut if
you will now send it to Lawrence I will
get it all right. Last week the people
of Lawrence had an Old Settlers' Meet
ing; undo Chas. made the address which
was very fine indeed. I suppose your
country is filling up now very fast. I
should be pleased to visit it some time.
My wife has been East to Old New
Hampshire on a visit will be back to
me now soon. She says she will never
like New England again as she did be
fore she- came West. Last spring I
made, a visit down to Arkansas and
found some very tine lands, and some of
the best timber I ver saw, but the peo
ple I found there seemed to be ."0 years
behind the times. I think Kansas to be
one of the leading states in tho West
Uncle and I can see no reason wliy we
shall not make money in the? stock busi
ness here. I have better health here
than in Iowa. We also have all kincs
of fruit here. We are at this time pick
ing grapes for the market We have a
gi-eat many pounds of grapes this year.
Apples a plenty, but not many poaches
this season. I shall be pleased to see
you. Are you not coming East some
time 1 Let mo hear from you soon.
When you write, tll all about the coun
try you live in. Hoping this may finel
you all in good health, I remain your

LOCAL
Columbia ify Property.
A large number of deeds to property
in anel about Columbia City has ben re
corded during the last two months, &m
would seem to indicate that the owner
ship of that valuable watex--front and
lands adjoining is being, gradually but
surelv concentrated in the hanels of a few
persons Some of these purchasers are
being made on account of capitalists of
large means.
As there has been no attempt to cre
ate exeitement about the property, anel
as the owners arc not anxious to sell,
they doubtless have some good reasons
for their confidence in the outcome of Co
lumbia City. Perhaps the survey for
another switch to the water front recent
ly acquired by the N. P..R. R. Co. lias
something to do with it.
There is considerable inquiry for Co
lumbia City property which is likely to
develop a boom notwithstanding the ret
icence of thosn most directly interested.
It is rumoi'ed that a party of business
men who own watei'-front then;, will ex
amine tho place soon and select grounds
upon which to make substantial improve
ments. We think a narrow guage road into
Nehalem from Columbia City to Pitts
burg would bo a paying institution. It
would act as a feeder to the N. P. R. R.
The possibilities of that region have not
been tested, those Scappoose mountains
are full of coal and iron, and quarries
of beautiful rocks. The alder timber for
furniture, the cedar and fir are of the
finest quality are a mine in themselves.
While Kansas and many other Western
States settle up ou puffs of wind awl
ail", we, who have the solid material in
a certain climate', drag behinel like a dog's
tail.
Advice If Muckle Bros, will be
moro careful what they promise men
they wish to employ in the mill and not
put them to the trouble and expense of
moving to St. Helens, they will have l;ss
sins to repent of in this life or Jess pun
ishment to receive in tho world to come
and less trouble to get a set of hands.

it, but it made our mouth water; all wc

they didn't digest worth a cent. Mr.

A murder was committed near Enter

He was examined before Justice Whit

The. Art Amatol r is grand as ever.
It contains all that is great in decorative

excavates all the hidden houses and
tombs, and drags forth beauty from the
embrace of decay anel death.
John Edmonds is very quiet but hon
est man, anel makes many friends and

anel a wife that trains her chilelren to be
