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.

Lawton O. T., June 4. 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.
Denison, Tex., June 4. Re
ports received here from a great
portion of the lower Indian terri

storms of many months. Thou
sands of acres of land are sub
merged, and the damage to crops
and in the loss of live stock and
homes will be enormous. All
trains through that section of
country have been abandoned .

cyclone passed over northern
