w ' gftc gnilB stavUm. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY JAN. 18. JfiSl Ji. C. IRELAND Iklitor. Jfortliern Pad He Railroad Inten tion;. The Tui-omu Ledger is taken as authority when speaking upon Northern Pacific railroad matters, and it refutes the statement, that the Northern Pacific railroad would have connection with Puget-sound from Ainbworth by way of the Columbia river road, before the Cascade division would be built, by showing conclusively the deter mined purpose of the company to build at once, and without any more .dela' than is absolutely necessary, across the Cascade mountains to a connection with the Pond d'Oreille dirision. The further fact is now told that General Sprague has ordered the letting of contracts for supplying the company with ties to the number of 200,000 which are sufficient for seventy-five miles of railroad. Pursuant to this order a contract has been let to O. M. An nis, of Alderton station, on the Puyallup branch road, for 25,000 lies, the object being to begin work at the very first moment that the question of choice between the Tacoma and Natchess passes shall hare been decided. Some further reconnoissance and surveying are necessary to that decision, and the most energetic efforts are be ing put forth to determine the relative merits of the two routes. There is a large gap of railroad line to be closed up between the Pend d' Oreille and the Missouri divisions. The state f the coun trys development and the exigen cies of the times in all respects de mand that the gaps shall be closed up as speedily as possible, and happily it is to be aid that the de sires and means of the company are more than adequate to the occasion. To close up this gap as rapidly as possible it is necessary to work at both ends, that is, to ex tend westward from the Missouri division and eastward from the Pend d'Oreille division, or, as one would speak in reference to the driving of a tunnel, to have two working surfaces instead of one. These the company will have, and assuredly few people will make the mistake to suppose that the ma terial and supplies for the work on this side ,will be subjected to the delaj's and excessive cost of trans portation up the Columbia river and to the whims and hindrances of a hostile influence. It is evi dently of great moment to build the Cascade division for the pur pose of earning profits by moving the wheat crops to the Sound and carrying supplies to the interior; feut it is also evidently of great moment to the company to build the Cascade division for the pur pose of carrying to the front its own material and supplies, with a riew of making speedily a through connection with the east. And the prediction is now ventured that about fourteen months from this writing, a person may enter a rail road car at New Tacoma and re pose comfortably in it until arri val at Ainsworth, or, perhaps. Walla-walla. But let there be peace and good will, while the engineers and graders and track layers speed forward in their quiet way to the building of the Cascade division and, to the completion of the greatest of all railways. The Amity correspoudent of tke Uiverside says: "And now let us pass a vote that no two "patent insides" -shall contain the same reading matter, unless one incmh at least shall inter- Tene between the times of publication. And now I will tell you why. Here I -have the Riverside, Itemizer, Re porter, Courier, New Northwest, and one daily Oregonian, and all contain the same story, and much of the other reading matter is the same in all, and all issued in the same week. Let's have a change. We should Bay so. The damage to. the railroad be-tween-Celilo and Blalocks has been very serious. Passengers and freight are noxr conveyed by boat from Celilo rto Umatilla. A'otes of the Flood. Front the Oregonian. The interruption to mails and prostration of wires renders it im possible to receive detailed state ments of losses in the "W'liamet valley. In addition to those al-1 ready reported from Salem, the docks "and warehouses of the Ore gon Railway and Navigation com pany, and the Goldsmith wharf were swept away Saturday, the river being 30 feet 7 inches above low water nmrk. The flood at Junction was un precedented in suddenness. Wed nesday evening the river was nearly full to its banks. But no fears of an overflow were enter tained. At 1 o'clock Thursday morning, so rapid itad been the rise, the water had spread to the town and in a short time was three feet deep in the hotel. The whole county around as far as the eye could reach was a vast lake. The shots of farmers who were signal ing for assistance were heard in every direction, but no aid could be rendered as no boats were at hand. The loss to the stock, fences and crops will be very heavy, but no loss of life is reported. Near Cor vallis the whole country was sub merged and there is great damage to stock and fences. Several far mers lose heavily bv having wheat wet in warehouses. The Oregon and California mil road has suffered damages all the way from Milwaukie to Roseburg. All the bridges were standing at latest reports, but the pier of the structure over the Clackamas river is partially gone, and any large drift may take it out. The Ilar risburg, the Santiam, and the Umpqua bridges are weakened by the loss of bents, but can be made secure with comparatively light cost and little delay. The damage to wheat on Port land docks will aggregate $50,000. About 75 cords of wood which was lying on the wharf just below tke foot of Ash street, has been carried away by the water. Captains on the river steamers report immense quantities of cord wood in the Columbia. This wood cane from various points along the upper Columbia. The pontoon of Knott Bros, washed from the foot of Stark street, is moored just below Wil low bar near Fale's landing on the Washington territory side. O'Shea Bros, lost several hun dren cords of wood -from their ranch, near the Red house. Six hundred cords of wood had been cut and corded up near the river, and it is estimated that at least one-half has been swept away. A steamer and a barge were engaged Saturday in saving all they possi bly could. Between the mouth of the Willamet and the lower end of Swan island, immense quantities of drift wood are reported. In places the drift is so thick that boats cannot get through without difficulty.
