A tcfegrani from New York to the
Portland Daily News announces that the
Northern Paci'ic and Oregon Railway
t Navigation Company have have a-
recd as to leasing the latter's lines. Ic
;s said the Roroeinelil is to include fiv-l
charges and to embrace tin funded debt
of the Oregon Kail way fc Navigation
Company. It will guarentee a payment
of G pc-r cent the first ycr and 7 per
cent the second, and (hereafter the roads
will divide the profits on a basis of the
expenses. Tins is somewhat of a modi
fication of the original proposition, and
if true is Unquestionably advantageous
to the Oregon Railway fc Navigation
Company, for the attitude which that
corporation lrad assumed towards the
Northern Pacific Kail road wuh regard
to the proposed lease, was, in view of
the financial and transpoftatieU outlook
of the former, rather arbitary. Taking
nits consideration the fact that the Or
egon Railway t Navigation Company's
net earnings show its property at pres
ent to be worth not more than 5 per
cent on the investment, its original de
mand of 8 per cent dividends and pay
ment of interest on its bonds was alto
gether extravagant. It must not be for
gotten that the independent position
which this company now holds ass an
inlet into this section is growing weaker
every day. It is not impossible that the
Short Line may find another pass over
the mountains besides the Burnt Iliver
Canyeu ; it is not impossible "that the
push of capital may force the Central Pa
cific to build its Oregon branch beyond
the bounderies of the state line ; It is
not impossible that the Cascade Brunch
of the Northern Pacific Railroad may
be completed sooner than expected and
it is not iriifossible that, with its present
attenuated earnings, the Oregon Rail
way it Navigation Company may find
some diuicuity in raising $100,0)3 with
which to meet its October dividends.

The new passenger depot of the North
ern Pacific branch to K. dam a is nearly
completed and the work of filling in a
round the same will be done this week.
There will be a platform . twelve feet
vide extending around the depot, and
another platform twelve feet wide and
210 feet long will extend from the cor
ner of O and Front streets along the
track northward. N. J. Klageu, the
contractor, expects to have the whole
done in a fjw days, lie will commence
work to-morrow on the passenger depot
at Columbia City and the large tank at
t. plac?, anl hire thm bath com
pleted in" a few weeks. The work of fil
ling in Couch lake is also progressing
rapidly. The trains load up with gravpl
at Scappoose, about twenty miles north
of Portland, and therefrom the work is
somewhat slower than usual. The till
has been extended about twelve feet du
l ing the past week, and before they stop
operations a considerable portion of last
winter's skating ground is likely to be
overlaid with dirt and gravel. The
change, in appearance of the corner ot
G a-;d Front streets is already a gratify
in'' one and those who remember the
place as it was three 'years ago would
fail to recognize it now. Gradually the
work of improvement is spreading the
limits of the city outward and it is not
improbable that five years from now
Couch lake will only exist in the mem
ory of those who have picniced under-'
neath its spreading oaks or skated on
what used to be its glassy surface ten
years ago Most of us will be glad,
however, when it is only observable to
the memory. Telegram. 17.

The following letter will explain it
self. It wa3 receivtd by Sheriff G. A.
Gregg:
There has been a murder committed
something like 20 miles from here.
There has been two men suspected.; The
description of them is as follows: One
of the men is rather, dark complected,
smoothly shaven, with black coat and
pants, and shoes ; tho other one is a
small man and light complected, wears
a light coat and grpy hat. The light
complected man had on overhauls and a
pistol in his hip pocket which had worn
a hole in his pocket. They had no blan
kets and pretended to bo looking for
land. It is thought that they followed
this man up there on purpose to kill and
rob him. Tho name of the man killed
was Pickler. K. T. Davis.
There is everv indication that there
was a hard fight, and that if the two
men suspieioncd are the guilty parties,
that they are wounded and are hidden
in the woods. Pickler is supposed to
have had $2000 on nis person. The
body was found Sept. 13, by Win, and
and Jim Yorke, Indians, and was 20
yds. from the road, very much discom
posed. The body wa.s found in S. 22,

Editok of Columbian The citizens
of Toledo W'-re thrown into qui to an ex
citement last Sunday by a slabbing af
fray which happened in Frftik McNuI
ty's saloon. It appears tbtt one Frank
Reed and Frank Rernier had some diffi
culty in Bender's house, and so ue hard
words passed between them, when Reed
went out of Render's hoyse and went
into the saloon, which is next door,
where Bcrnier followed him and re
newed tho quarrel and struck Reed,
whereupon Reed commenced cutting
Bcrnier with a butcher-knife that he had
taken from Bender's kitchen. There
were four men by. but l thev could
stop Reed he had Stabbed Bernier in
five places.
Bernier then ran into his own house,
and then to Dr. Boyce's of!i covered
with blood. He was taken home in the
evening and everything that could le
done was done for him. The wounded
man su fie red until 9 o'clock Monday
evening when he died.
Reed is only a boy about 17 years old.
After stabbing BernreT he started up
the street, saying that lie had killed the
tl s b and that he would another,
lie was then taken by the citizens and
locked in a bock room of a saloon from
which he escaped daring the night, but
was arrested yesterday by Constable
Cole. '
It ia reported Reed made threats pie
vious to this that he would kill Bernier.
Bernier will be buried to-day.

MISCELLANY.
Thetfther day a young English noble !
died. Had he outlived his father die
would have beer, the richest di ke in
England. That father had helped to
found an association for funeral reform,
and ordered the last offices for the dead
as he thought loe. for one's neighbor,
which we call Christianity; and refine
ment of nature, which we call good taste
required. A coffin of plain pine in
closed the remains: an unornamented
hearse conveyed it to the church. Next
day, no curious crowd being present,
the keepers on tlnv estate carried to its
pleasant resting-place the body of their
young master, hidden from night with
flowers brought by loving hands. No
trappings of the undertaker's trade were
visible ; no carriages followed the bier.
Only the nearest relatives, the tenants
and work people on the estate, were
present at the k funeral, ami its intense
simplicity was more impressive than the
oomp ojf kings. Wha", the great Duke
of Westminister thought befitting his
high estate, surely we simple republicans
need not fear to follow. Farmers Com
