Portland, September I, 1877.
The people of Oregon should beware
of signing a petition gotten up by the
IsTorthern Pacific Railroad company
and being peddled around by J. D.
Sanborn. That petition prays of con
gress to grant the petition of the
Northern Pacific for an extension of
time according to its present charter,
which locates its road on the north
side of the Columbia, and ignores
Oregon altogether. Besides it does
not appear what else may be in their
petition to congress. The whole move
is to defeat the memorial of the people
to congress to have that road built on
the south side of the Columbia to
Portland, and in opposition to the
Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake rail
road. Read the last part of their pc
tition and you will see the deception
attempted to be practiced. That com
pany, oy deceptive legislation, tncKea
Portland out of the road and located
it on the north side of the Columbia
and they are now deceiving the people
to indorse the fraud.

Last Monday, says the Oregon city
Enterprise the fishermen at the fish
propagation court on the Clackamas
put the seine in the river and caught
seven fine salmon. The seine would
not work well on account of not hav
ing enough floats. Prof. Stone was
liighly gratified with tho catch, and
predicts plenty of salmon for breeding
purposes. The Columbia river men
say they will feel satisfied if three mil
lion fish are spawned this season, and
the Prof, says he is confident of get
ting at least ten million without any
difficulty.

The contents hod decayed and evaporat

jar but a thick gummy subscanee closing

as tough almost as leather. He has kept
the jar from that date miiil yesterday,
