About ten o'clock last Saturday night two Indians at Clatsop, who had in some way procured liquor, be came engaged in a quarrel; both wore on horsoback, and after considerable wrangling one of them, Tom Talzan, drovo a knife into the heart of the other, Wm. Duncle. The wounded man fell off his horse and died m ton minutes. Hobt. McEwan went to Skipanon yestcrda3T and held an inquest resulting!!! a verdict in accordance with the above. Deputy Sheriff Ross went to the scene of the murder yesterday morning, arrested Talr.au, who was in bed, and brought him to this city where ho is now lodged in jail. Ho acknowledges killing Duncle and says "Whisky did it." The man that sold Talzan tho whisky is equally guilty of the mur der of Duncle with tho unfortunate wretch in jail.

At half pastfive Saturday afternoon afternoon, the 8tli inst, in the pres ence of a large assemblage of distin guished guests, the last spike of the Northern PaciGc railroad was driven at Gold Spike station, sixty miles west of Helena, Montana, on Deer Lodge river. Over four thousand people witnessed, the ceremony. After driving yio spike, Mr. Yillard said: (JenUhnen:lt is my agreeable duty and very great pleasure to offer a j hearty welcome to thi3 distinguished assemblage on this memorable occa sion and in these remarkable sur roundings. To vou. the representa tives oPforeign nations, the members of the executive committee, legisla tive and judicial branches of the Uni ted States government, the governors of states and territories, the represen tatives of the European and American press, and our gue3ts from abroad and at home generally, to you, one and all, I beg to offer, in tho name of the Northern Pacific Ila'lroad company profound thanks for your kind pres ence and participation in this, tho most important event of our corporate existence. Our work means the con quest of new fields for general com merce and industry. It creates a new highway between Europe, Amer ica and Asia. The population of the slates and territories traversed by ur road is largely made up from the Eu ropean nationalities represented here. We deemed it fit and proper, there fore, to bid, so to speak, both the old md the new world to this celebration, or, in other words, to arrange a sort of international festival. Many of ou have crossed the ocean, and all have traveled a great distanco in order to be with us to-day. Be pleased to accept my assurance that we gratefully appreciate your sacrifice of time and comfort. In return we earnestlv wish to do our guests all possiblo honor and to give them all possible pl;asure, and we trust that this transcontinen tal journey has been and will be an unalloyed enjoyment to them. We hope, moreover, that as in this hour a now and indissoluble bond will be formed between the countries to the east and to tho west of these Rocky mountains, this gathering may also strengthen the ties of good will and friendship between the republic of Korth America and the parent coun tries of Europe. Thanks to the foresight of President Thomas Jefferson, well nigh four score vears ago. Lie wis and Ulark toiled through these mountains as'thc first explorers of Anglo-American ori gin, and luted tne veil that Did trom civilized mankind the regions watered by tho upper Missouri, the Yollow- stone, the Columbia and their tribu taries. The exploits of theso fear less and gifted men were the rich germ, the full fruition of which wc celebrate this day. More eloquent lips than mine will describe to 3'ou the long and singular, but interesting process of evolution, by which our enterprise slowly grew out of the diseovorics then made by so much courage and intelligence. They will tell you how the record of these discoveries first gave rise, as long as nearly half a century ago, to prophetic visions of a transcontinental railroad along Lewis and Clark's route, and how, within ten years after theso visions were first embodied in print, they filled the mind of one man with such fire of enthusiasm as to move him to go forth, like another apostle, and to spend the best years of his life and all he possessed in the propagation of his faith. You will learn how in the end he became a very martyr to his belief, but how the project of a rail road to the Pacific, despite tho failure of its first prophet, made converts, spread widely and gretv into popnlari ty, until it finally attained the import ance of a leading public question and object of national legislation. You will be shown how the north ern route, which at first was the only one thought of, gradually lost prestige and other routes took prominence, Yon w.ill see the quaint figure of an honest visionary appear upon the scone, first as the promoter of an odd illusion, and next as the moving spirit in the formal birth and christen ing of our enterprise through the con gressional charter of 1SG4. You will hear that the charter failed to give real life to the corporation, owing to certain abnormal features engrafted upon it, and that it passed eventually to tho control of wise, experienced and influential men; but who, however also failed at first to attract the needed capital until those features were eradi cated by congressional amendment. Then the brilliant episode in our histor' will pass beforo you, in which an able, bold and resolute man was the central figure, to whom, most of all, the company owes its practical existence. You will be reminded how the hopeful brightness of that period was eclipsed by the black darkness of the cataclysm of 1873. Our fabric seemed then to be lost in a bottom less pit. j et an entiro resurrection followed, owing to the inherent vi tality of the prostrate body, and to the resolute application of the heroic remedies of foreclosure and reorgani zation. There was an immediate restora tion to very active life. Years of j slow recuperation followed, until tho advont of the extraordinary revival of j commerce and industry generally, and J of railroad undertaking especially, in j the years of 1879 and 1880. The sa gacious men who then directed tho company's affairs saw their patience rewarded and the time ripe once more for tho resumption of construc tion work on the road. Thj began cautiously, seeking what was possible rather than what was desirable. All at once, fortune smiled with intense radiance upon the company. A financial alliance with a great syinlicate was formed. Its con clusion meant nothing less than the as surance of all the capital required to complete the road, and thereby the end of all uncertainty in the prospects of the company a leap, in short, into assured success. With a flood-tide into the com pany's treasury, there arose not only the possibility, but the necessity of pushing the construction of our trans continental line with the utmost energy. 1 hope I may be permitted to say that we have striven to do our full duty, and to obtain the greatest effort of which human brain and muscles, stimulated by unlimited capital, are capable, in a given time and in a stated direction. Work on the main line was first resumed on the west bank of the Missouri river in he spring of 1870, and the confluence of the Columbia and Snake rivera in the fall of the same year. The dist- ancojbetween the two starting points was 1,222 miles. The 217 miles from the Missouri to the Yellowstone were completed in June, 18S1; tho 225 miles from the Columbia to Lake Pend d'Oreille in November, 1881. The completion of the 310 miles of the road in the Yellowstone valley took seventeen months. The 194 miles up the gorges of Clark's Fork to Missoula, nineteen months; from tho head of tho Yellowstone valley to Helena, and thence to this junction, nine months. Thus, the first 442 mile3 of the total mileage to be completed that is, the Missouri and Pend d'Oreille divisions were finished in two yoars and eight months, while the other 7S0 miles were completed in less than two years. In this time, the great structure of the Bismarck bridge was also erected. The continuation of the main line down the Columbia for a length of 210 more miles by another company to Portland, and a thousand addi tional miles of lines of branch and al lied companies were finished. Now these figures aro easily quoted, and apparently speak a very simple lan guage. But their true meaning goes far beyond the mere space of time and mileage of completed road they indicate. They form a great sum of human patience and perseverance, energy and bravery, hardship and pri vation. They express long and hard tests of the power of human ingenuity and endurance in a mighty strugglo of mechanical and manual force against the direct obstacles of primitive na ture. They mean a painful record of bodily suffering and loss of life by disease and accident. You have seen enough of the work to form an idea of its difficulty, its vastness, its costliness. Yon have the testimony of your own eyes that this high way had to bo carved as it were, out of a very wilderness where wo found nothing to help us no labor, no food, no habitations, no material, no means of transportation. Yon see the evi dence of triumph over every hin drance. But you perceive only fin ished results; the dramatic incidents f their achievements are not dis closed to 3'ou. Boiling along smooth ly, merrily and luxuriously over the line, how can you know that the bridges over which we pass were built while the subdued rivers were hidden in ice or swollen to perilous depth and turbulence? that defiance was bidden to the seasons, and the pick and shovel kept flying, though the way had to be cleared through thick crusts of snow, and on frozen ground thawed by fires? I have not said all this in a boast ful spirit, but solely to give proper credit where it belongs for the great deed now well nigh done, and thus discharge, by this public acknowl edgement, as much as possible, the heavy debt of gratitude that weighs upon me. Let me then own, on this solemn occasion, that our edifice could have never been reared but for tho liberali ty of the people of the United States acting through tho federal govern ment, in providing a solid foundation in our land grant; for the deTotion and sagacity of the men who steered our craft in tho days of distross and danger; for the generous forbearance of our stockholders, the confidence of the public, the powerful help of fi nancial allies; and last, but far from least, for tho ability and faithfulness of the officers and employes of the company and for the myriads of hon est toilers who earned their bread in the sweat of their brows for oar boneGt. And thus we are permitted to-day to behold this mighty task as all but finished. It was my proud privilege to exercise the chief direction over its last stages. No light duty it was, bet wearisome, brain and nerve exhaust ing. Still, its very grandeur inspired the will and the power to perform it, and there was comfort and elevation the thought that we have built what cannot perish, but will Inst to the end of all earthly things. Let us hope and pray that this great work of man will stand forever, it may also forever be an immortal honor to its builders, a permanent pride and profit to its owners, and most of all, an ev erlasting blessing to man.
