It is said; the Canadian Pacitic rail oad will furi.ish' the most magnificent ! He'r-y o any ruilroatj.in the world. I2AILHOAD RACKET. The Northern Pacilic Terminal Com pany commenced work Wednesday on a six stall round house for the Northern Pacific, to be located in North, Portland, west of the freight depot of the road, and immediately south of N street bridge. A tank capable of holding 50; 000 gallons of water will alio be built, and a 500 feet trestle to connect with the west side division of the O. it C. road. The cost of these improvements will be about $25,000, and all will be ready for use in December. A good many of the overland passen gers going to the Sound now leave here the same day they arrive. They reached a hotel here at 12 o'vlock and take h nch, and returning reach the boat going to the Sound at or before 1 o'clock p. m. By this method the hotels lose a day's biard and bed out of every tiassenger to the Sound. Even when the Pacitic di vision opens they will not be helped, as trains will leave here at 1:15 r. sr., giv ing passengers just 15 minutes more to eat, A riot occurred a few Relays ago at Huntington, the terminus of the O. R. A N. in Baker county, the rioters burn ing the school house and several other buildings and considerable railroad ma terial. The riot was caused thuouqh the railroad's replacing white laborers with Chinamen. The bridge of the Oregon Short Line across Snake river has been completed and rails are now leing laid into Huntington, two or three miles dis tant Work is still in active progress on the Oregon Short line, tilid the connection with the O. R. k N. Co. 's road will take place before November 1 if possible for the latter to becure a supply of rails. The ship Clarence S. 'Dement will le dis charged as soon as possible, and the ma terial sent to the fiont, whore work has been stopped twenty-one miles beyond Daker City fcr want of it. Since the new ferryboat has com menced transferring trains at Kalama there is no work for the large barge Columbia's Chief, the- boat formerly used as a whaif boat. For this reason .-dm was towed up to this city where she is now receiving a cargo of wheat which will bo taken to Astoria, and there transferred to outgoing ships. A gentleman who crossed the new Kalama ferry with the first train last Friday afternoon, s'ated to a" Teleckam reporter yesterday that it is a grand scene. The boat is so large and roomy and the working of all the machinery and the inclines is so perfect, that the whole forms an impression not soon to !;e forgotten. ' Nelson Bennett, who recently secured a contract for building twenty-five miles of the Cascade division, is bhipping'im niense amounts of material, implements and workmen to his new field of opera tions. It is repotted that he is sending everything from a pick and a mule to an en'-ir.e and a nile-driver. N. J. Blagen has secured the contract for building the 500 feet trestle, the round house and tank of the Northern Pacilic, and vill coui'ucnce work on the same without delay. The total cost will be about $16,000. A turntable is also to be completed by thesame gentleman. By the withdrawal of the Northern Pacific Express company from the O. it C. railroads six messengers are throw i: cut of imployment. Four messengers were employed on the cast side railroad, and two on the west . The new Kalama depot 13 nor ready for use, and the offices will be put in at once. The platform around it has been completed and butlers placed e.t the end of the two tracts at the foot of G street. Locomotives do not go across the Ka lama ferry, but the. cars are taken in charge by others o'n the Washington side. The Northern Pacific express company has withdrawn frotn business on the Oregon it California road. The O. II. it N. Co. are now running Ave extra trains to handle the wheat coming into Portland. Track on the Oregon Pacific is being laid at the rate of two miles a day. Tdcjram. George Stephens it Sir J. IT. McDon ald have started for England from Brit ish Columbia. Stephens is President of the Canadian Paciiie, and the intention is to put on a line of Steamers from Port Moodv, the terminus of the Cuna dian Pacific to China t Japan. This may revolutionize the trade of the world. A gentleman in Victoria with a pro ject to build an electric R. 11. from Port Simpson, on the Pacific, to Hudson's bay, on the Atlantic. He says it ran make 100 miles an hour. The road w ill be cheaper and safer than if operated by steam, and the journey can be made in two days from ocean to ocean. Ex. It Is rtiniOrcd that the men former'y employed at Kalama in the transferring of freight from trains to boats, xvill be j transferred to this city. Telegram- Wheat Kaisins in India. This bugaboo of the East Inlian ryot in competition as a wheat raiser with thoiturdy farmer of the northwest has been heard of before, a:d not proved so terrible on close inspection. To begin with, East India wheat is not produced as cheaply as w as supposed. Instead of being grown at a cost "of only 18 or 21 cents, as is claimed by English authori ties, the chief commissioner of the prin cipalwheat-growing province states, offi cially, that it costs in districts near the railroad, about 35 cents per bushel. In India the railroads have only recently entered the wheat belt, and the only ex portation of wheat have been from strips im mediately tributary. Every twenty -iiilc-s of carriage by bullock cart adds 25 cents per l.ushtl to the cost of wheat, and bullock carts r.rc the on ly transportation in the interior. It will be seen that wheat raised only a few miles from a railroad could not be brought to market at a figure below the export price. The only remedy for that is to increase the railroads. India has now 10,000 miles of road, built by gov ernment aid. They liavi but touched the wheat raising provinces, and it must be many years before they will cover them with such a network of lines as en ables the American farmer to ship, his wheat so easily ami cheaply. Until those roads are built the export of East Indian wheat, cannot reach such a figure as will make him in any serious sense a competitor with America in the English or any other Euiopenn market. It is not impossible that he may in tiine be come such a competitor, but it is imper itive that first he must have cheaper transportation, and that by a vastly ex tend, d system of railroads, which must under the circumr tances be of slow growth. Astorictru Tlic Xctv Orleans Fair. Governor S-.puire received the follow ing despatch fr.;m Vice President Oakrs, of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com pany: St. Paul, Oct. 3d. Gov. Squire: Inasmuch as there seems to be some doubt as to the facili ties ottered by this company for the ex hibition of products of the states and territories on our line of road, I desire to say that instructions to bill free of charge limited specimens of ores, fruits, forest products, or anything else pertain ing to the stabs or teriitory thiough which our line passes. If you are not actively at work in getting together such specimens, advise that -no time be lost ; lut that they be gathered up and be de livered for shipment, if possible, in time to reach New Orleans by the first of December, when the exhibition opens. T. F. Oaiies. Many persons are asking thU question Will the railroads make any reductions in fares to those who desire to visit the World's Exposition at New Orleans! The Director General has been informed that the Western Association of General Passenger Agents have voted to make round trip tickets at half rates. Other organizations and roads will do as well, if not better, and it is highly probable that excursion parties will icceive very favorable oilers to visit the Southern metropolis during the coming winter and spring. He-jitter, - In November or December next the school superintendents of the state will vote upon the school hook question, as the votes must all he in by the fir.st of January, 1S85. There is no provision that they meet to select a system ef schoollooks, although they did so four vears.ago. They will most likely cast their written votes at home and send them to State Superintendent McElroy this year. In case of -a tie the state su perintendent is authorized to select. The for six different publishing houses will boon bo on the cround advocating the claims of their respective publica tion to recognition, and a lively time is anticipated. . . Every effort is being made by the" managers cf the New Orleans Exposi tion to make it one of the grandest af fairs ever witnessed, either in the coun try or or in Europe. Every State, in the Union and every civilized nation will be represented. A spirit of interest and encouragement is developiirg itself in al most every quarter of the globe for the promotion of this . commendable move ment. Dublbt( Texas) En ter prise.
