JS$ Jl'JPJiJl'Jlll'lil' Vol. xix. Astoria, Oregon, Sunday Morning, July 15, 1883 No. 91. TEE , P ORTL AITD AND KALAMA BRANCH. Work on the Portland-Kalams. road was bep;un during the latter part of March last. However active operations were not inaugu rated until about the- first of May following, owing to the heavy rains and general backwardness of the season. The contract for grading, building bridges, track laying and blasting was awarded to J. B. Montgomery. As soon as the season had sufficiently ad vanced a large fore of graders commenced work. From Portland toKalama the distance is forty three miles. Clearing and grad ing was commenced at a point on the line about midway, and pushed in opposite directions. This extension began in Portland, opposite where tho proposed bridge across the "Willamette will be. built, and extends down the west side of the Willamette and south side of the Columbia rivers to a p'oint on the latter stream about three miles below Kalama. Coffin Rock is the point selected where the transfer will be made. By this route some three miles of the old Northern Pacific track below Kalama the present start ing point will be rendered use less, as the new branch will touch the Columbia some distance below on the opposite side of the river. The old track was laid in 1S71, and muchof the ties, and trestle work are in advance stages of de cay. Three miles of the original roadbed thus to be abandoned was laid below high water mark, and a rreat deal of the track for that D distance is several feet unde water duriner the annual June freshet, and this inconvenience and cause of delay and expense to the company will in tho future be obviated by the route of the ex tension. The Portland-Kalama branch ruris close to the river banks and is not often out of sight of the "Willamette or the Columbia. Some six miles above the town of St. Helens, the road makes a de tour, leaves the river and does not approach nearer than a Ditto and a half. It follows this course for several miles. At Columbia City, a few miles below St. Helens, the road again strikes the Columbia and follows closely the shore until it reaches Coffin Rock. The road is of standard gauge with the road bed built in accord ance with the requirements of the government under the Pacific Railroad act 1G feet embank ment and 18 feet in the cuts. For most of the distance the route traverses a rather broken country. crossing numerous streams and sloughs, and much trestle "bridging is required some 31,700 lineal feet, and several small Howe truss snans, each rancrinsr from 100 to 125 feet in length, are being built. There are a number of heavy rock cuts, and grading is being pushed vigorous forward by a large force of men, and some twenty miles of grading have already been finished, and by the 1st of Septem ber the roadbed will be completed and track-laying will commence about the 20th of July, and be completed about the 20th of Sep X 1 II M 1 -IT lemDer. onuge-Duuuers are crowding the work forward, so that when track-laying shall begin there will be little or no interrupt ion to the work. Like the grad mcr, tracK-Javers win commence work midway, and push in oppo site directions, until the ends are reached. There are now about 2,100 men on Mr. Montgomery': pay rolls. Considering the late ness of the season and the natural obstacles, the contractor has DUEhed the work forward with remarkable rapidity. This branch is being constructed a very substantial manner, an will cost, when finished, about 20,000 per mile. This will, course, include the cost of ballast ing. The bridging especialty is of the finest quality, and it is confi dently expected to have all the track laid by the middle of next September, but the road will not be ready for the contractor to turn it over to the Company until two months and a half later.

Spoiled Daughters of Society. Perhaps the most complete form of slavery to be seen in New York is slavery to ones daughters. All literature has paid homage to wo-j man, oui in our itLje jjiuywuii u:u j does it. The New York wealthy ! i. ... ; i:.n! man has a daughter or two. He j pavs but little attention to them while they are children, but it suddenly occurs to him that they are growing beautiful. His wife is sure of this fact and she begins to dress the girls while they are still children in all thcelegance of princesses. They are sent to dancing school, to riding school, to the finest seminary ami put in the opera-box, allowed to know what is Toinjr on at all the theaters, and carried to the watering places, and before they know anything of their country they are sent to Eu rope, where, as my friend the! Consul, who has just arrived, says, he has seen girls not 17 years of age provided with wardrobes of i fifteen to thirty siik dresses, with hose of varienated silk, diamonds in their ears and everything that ife ou-ht to yield toward its tcr-: mination they are satiated with ' upon the very threshold. With fine food and wine, their complex-' ions become, elegant; they arc sel dom away from the dentists a ,veek having their teeth fixed, the ' most cosmopolitan society is in- j troduced to them and they look down with indifference upon the , boys of their own age, or if they i marry by an act of nature, soon , upbraid their husbands for not : keeping up tho luxury their par-' ents spoiled them with. A friend, ! who has spent many years in Eu rope, told me that the freedom al lowed daughters ' by American parents is the astonishment and horror of that continent.. Ameri can girls are known wherever they appear by their sumptuous attire on the streets, their delicate shoes, the adoration paid them by their parents and they are brought up beautiful enough and worthless enough to be at once the tempta tion and ruin of any voung man who may take them to his arms. Gath. The Boston Globe says- that in 1840, when Harriet Martineau visited this country, she showed that only seven vocations were open to women who wanted to work. These were keeping board ers, setting typo, teaching needle work, labor in cotton mills and folding and stitching in bookbind eries. Now there are 2S1 occu pations open to women in Massa chusetts and 551,15S members of the gentler sex in this state alone parn tneir own living re ceiving from 150 to 3,000 each per annum. 1 nis does not in clude amateurs or mothers and daughters in the household. As there are 70,000 surplus women in Massachusetts, these new avenues of employment are widely appre ciated. The interior of Greenland is ab solutely unknown to any but a few natives. The stories which they tell are not generally credited and the results of Professor Nor- denskjold's exploring expedition will be looked forward to with great interest by scientists in par ticular. Tlie natives assert that there are large tracts of country gradually sinking and that be tween latitudes GO and 70 deg. buildings have continually to be shifted farther inland in order to keep the sea from running over them. "While land is thus sinking in Greenland it is said to be slow ly but surely rising in Norway and Sweden, and localities which 500 years ago were swamps are now mountains. "1 happen to know of a great many cases of rheumatism,sprains, etc., in which St. Jacobs Oil proved itself a nevor-failing panacea." said Mr. "Win. A. Davidson, of Cincinnati, Ohio. "I severely sprained ray ankle while searching lor geological specimens, ana sui fered severely until I tried St Ja cobs Oil. It cured me, leaving me in a mood to extol the Great German Remedy.5' After Trespassers The government seems to be and the special agent sent out here to look alter them appears to be in earnesl.
