Railroads in Alaska. According to the statement of its vice president and general manager, the Council City & Salmon River Railroad of the Se ward Peninsula, Alaska, is built on a grade composed ot gold nug gets, gravel and ice. The road is built across a tol erably level piece of country, a large portion of which is swampy. The grading was practically all done by a steam shovel, the gravel and dirt being lifted out of the water and dumped ahead of the end of the track on which the machine was built. After being piled up the grade soon froze solid and has so remained ever since. It will never thaw out entirely, Mr. Dickinson says, and is a firm roadbed, once constructed. Gold nuggets were picked out of the dirt in great quantities. The railroad is an infant in mileage, oeing only 13 miies long at pres ent, but is building to Council City, 53 miles from the starting point at Dickson, at the mouth of Salmon River, near Nome. It has the distinction ot being the first standard-gauge railroad in Alaska, and is equipped . with modern rolling stock and locomo tives. J. Warren Dickson is the vice president and general man ager, and was in Portland last week acquainting local traffic rep resentatives with the route and its connection. Mr. Dickson says that the line will ultimately ex tend for a distance of 1500 miles, tapping a rich region ot the in terior with its branches and con necting future commercial centers o" the Northwest Territory. Rev. Frank Moore will preach the Baccalaureate sermon at the Philomath College next Sunday. The Captured Millionaire. Ion Perdicardes, an American millionaire, with his stepson Cronwell Varley, have been kid napped by bandits and are being held in the mountains of Morocco for a ranson. The United States government has ordered a formid able squadron of our navy in the Mediterranean to assemble in Tanquiers, the capitol of Morroc- co to take steps to compel the Sul tan of that country to have tne men liberated. . Further develop ments are anxiously awaited. Mrs. Jane Abraham, widow of James Abraham, whose generous aid made the building ot tht beautiful Centenary-1 Methodist Episcopal Church and the Sunny side hospital in East Portland possible, was compelled to ask the county for financial help this morning says the Telegram of June 3. Mrs. Abraham is now about 80 years tld and is bedrid den, aud all she has left of the once great estate of her husband are two houses. One of these is remed for $25 a month and she lives in the other, No. 30 Eist Seventh s-treet, with a nurse, who has been attending her for some time pas. The rental of the house has been sufficient to pa all expenses : until lately, when the condition of ihe aged pioneer became worse and she required extra attention. Yet all she ask ed was $5 a month and this sum was readily granted ner Dy tne Countv Court. Mrs. Abraham and her husband were among the pioneers of Port land They subscribed liberally to the fund for building the Centenary Church aud also to the Sunny side -Hospital, which was. con ducted bv the Methodist Episco pal Chmch for a number of years. Litigation considerably reduc ed the size of their estate, and when Mr. Abraham died on Feb ruary 23 1893, the total value of all their property was placed at $25,000. The claims against the estate in 1893 amounted to approximate ly $20,000, the largest being for io'.aoo on a promissory note held by Centenary Church. Lit igation eusued from these claims ate up the rest of the fortune, and all that the widow has left is two houses. The principal part of the litigation was by the Methodist church for the collection of the sift obligations above. After the monev had been forced from the widow, and she was reduced to sheer want the tender solici tude ot the church in their "dear sister in the LordV ceased. Yet the church, thanks to her bene factions is now in affluent circum stances, and the bed-ridden widow is forgotten. It seems truly a pa thetic story. O. A. C. Notes.

In a cyclone which swept over this city last night, says the Journal, Mrs Thomas Payne was instantly kill ed, Charles Gregory, a youth, fa tally injured, and two others seriously injured. Thirty houses were smashed into kindling wood in the city, and reports from the path of the storm continually add to the tale of damage. For ten miles the storm's course has been traced by a path as cleancut as though mowed by some titanic reaper. Telegraph wires are down in the storm's path and the news is meager.
