CLAunrfcrfox IIotktj. f Pohtlani), MaySlh, 1S79. I'he Hay rtard reached Kalama to-day ten minutes ahead of the starting time of the train for Tacoma, and eighty minutes ahead of the arrival of the train from Tacomaj this gave us an opportuniCy to interview the terminus. Kalama is a ?ery drill place, 'without hope of revival. Gen. Sprague has again taken the supremacy of the railroad and had just returned from a trip of observation. He is now puz zling his head over a somewhat per plexing matter, to-wit: the durability of timber. Can any one explain why it is that timber cut in the same day, from the same tree, so to speak, varies so much in durability in the same bridge, on the same line of ties? Also, why is it that railroad iron in a cer tain portion f the track will actually creep up a hill, at the rate of an inch a month, twelve inches in a year, seven feet in seven years? Such are a few of the perplexing .things one meets with in the office of Superintend cnt of a railroad. We were VerT much entertained this afternoon in conversation with two gentlemen who were traveling companions from Kalama, Judge A. B. Levisee, and Col. W. A. Gavett of the United States treasury depart ment. Judge Levisee, for a longtime prior to the war, and up to within two years past, was a resident of Louisi ana. He recites some of the bitter experiences of the war which have driven thousands of good men from the south political exiles, and is the cause of the present exodus of blacks. In answer to our inquiry as to whether he should return to Louisiana to live, his reply was that in the slave crossing the river at Detroit, "there's a va cancy down there; you are welcome to it." He will not return to till it anjT longer. The leading men and the public press of the south, are making fatal mistakes by their bull dozing, and it will soon be apparent to them. Would that we had a thousand or two of those faithful negroes here in Ore gon, t'j take the places filled here nw by the much despised celestials. But of this more anon. The weather has been very delight ful to-day, all nature seems to be re joicing, and this beautiful city is truth fully 'sitting like a fat duck upon the pearly edges of prosperity," a saying credited to us in 18G5 about to be fully realized. To-morrow we are to visit the city with Mr. Yan B. De Lashmut, of D. & O. the "Retail Bankers," and observe the march of improvements from his buggy seat. The present railroad talk means busi ness, and when the Utah Northern, Central Pacific, and Northern Pacific all terminate in Portland as they must, and will, very soon; Astoria will get a benefit. It is a great pity that the resources of eastern Oregon and Wash ington were not known ten years ago, before the Northern Pacific Railroad company put so much to idle purpo ses in a line from Kalama to Puget sonnd. But day light is dawning for us all, and there is room for all, let all say come. d. c. i. Win. E. Baker oiFers to donate property valued at 200,000, pro vided the sum of 8110,000 additional be gtiarranteed, for the benefit of the Massachusetts Public Health Associa tion, for the purpose of carrying out recommendations of boards of health by inspection and advice as to im provement in house ventilation and drainage, for the suppression of adult eration in food, and for the establish ment of schools of cookery and diet kitchens for the sick. Forty-nme failures were reported in Jtf ew York in April, in which the total liabilities amounted to 1,199, 883, and the assets were estimated at $Q3,121. Compared with the pre ceding month, this shows a large in crease in liabilities, March having Torty failures, with liabilities -of $480, '449, and assets of $211,754. In April, 1878, there were seventy-three fail urers ; total liabilities, 9,890,000. Kindness to Animnls- The Lieutenant Goernor of Michi gan writes o the Eluiira Huslfsud man concerning the treatment of fractious animals cmbodj'ing the following excellent ideas: It is a matter that I have tested throughly in practice, and 1 have learned that animals that are treated kindly are not apt to be vicious or ugly. Treat them kindly, young or old, let them know that you will not hurt them; and more, teach them that j'ou are their best friend. It is very easy, and also a very pleasant thing to do, and if you do it the chances are that your cows will be Kind and gentle, your steers and oxen and your colts and horses will be so also. If it is found that any animals can not be made useful by kind treatment it is best to get rid of them. Treated kindly from the start they yield to it easily. Prof. Miles, when going around with me to see mjr sheep, said: "What is the mat ter with your sheep? They do not run when they see you?" I could only say in reply that they knew me, and hart come to regard me as their best friend. I should feel that some thing was wrong with me if my do mestic animals did not welcome me and appear pleased at my approach. The coroner who put- out in a small boat and chased a body five miles down the Mississippi river only to find it was Paul Boy ton, says such nonsense ought to be stopped. He thinks Boyton has no right to fool with the best interests of the country. It is related of the late Mine. Bonaparte that she never adopted the new-fangled notion of gas, but always used candles, and she would not allow a carpet to be laid oil her bed-room floor. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. TO KENT.
