The car of the United States fish
commission whioh J eft "Washington
on November 5 with 25,000 young
carp, arrived here over the Xorrhern
Pacific yesterday morning, and was
at once transferred across the river
and is now at the west side depot.
Five thousand of the fish were left
with the Ohio fish commission, and
the same number with the commis
sioners of Iowa and Minnesota, The
remainder are for distribution in
Oregon and "Washington Territory.
The car is in charge of lAr. George
H. IL Moore, with James CarsewelL
:issistaiil, and George Demonet and
Arthur Yeaman, apprentices in the
employ of the United States fish com
mission. Mr. Carscwell was here
some time since with a Jot of carp.
The car is .filled specially for the
transportation of fish. In one end is
an office for the jerson in charge, at
the other end a kitchen, and aloiig
the sides a series of lockers, in which
the fish in tin buckets; each con
taining about fifty carp and
about a half gallon of water,
are placed. Pipes convey air through
an ice box at each side of the car to
the lockers in which the fish are
placed, so as to keep the air at a
proper temperature, which with carp
is 15 degrees. These carp are four
mouths old and of an average length
of two inches. They are in good con
dition, only 24.4 (less than one per
cent,) having died on the way; and
this was caused by sudden climatic
changes, it being very cold in crossing
the ltockics. Any person desiring
can obtain a bucket containing fifty
carp, the only charges being twenly-live-cenls
for the bucket. The fish
have been sent out here by Prof.
Biurd, 'at the solicitation of Hon.
M. G. Goarge, They were
hatched at Washington, in the
Potomac, from original German stock.
In the Atlantic States the allowance
to each applicant is only twenty fish;
but on account of the great distance
from the source of supply, it was
deemed no more than just that appli
cants on this coast should have fifty
each. The car will remain here until
Friday evening, when it will go to
Walla Walla.
Mr. Moore suggests that until the
carp are placed permanently in ponds,
the water in which they are kept
should be changed daily." They will
live in confined places in Potomac
river water about two weeks, and
were brought here without change of
water. Yesterday they were put in
Willamette river water. If in ponds
not too cold, the carp will grow in
one year to weigh from two to five
pounds. In native waters they often
obtain a weight of Sfty pounds and
over. Average weight in southern
states at one year old is four pounds.
The carp thrives best on vegetable
matter lettuce, cabbage, boiled pota
toes, water cress, celery tops. etc.
and is fond of conimcak -Orefoiii-an

The Two Isthmus Canals.
It looks very much as if there
would bo two canals across the nar
row neck of land which joins the two
great continents of Korth and South
America. Although the ground has
not yet been broken for the Nicarau
gua Canal, it is quite certain that if
a good guaranty for three per cent
interest on $75,000,000 of bonds can
be obtained that is. such a one as
will satisfy European financiers
there will be no difficulty in raising
the money. The money once assured
the work would certainly be under
taken without much delay. Nicarau
gua is about to furnish a'guarantyf
three per cent interest on $20,000,000
of bonds. If the other Central
American Republics come up to the-
mark m the same spirit, the money
would soon be forthcoming. It is
not probable that the United States
will furnisb any guaranty; but in va
rious other ways substantial help may
be derived from this country. The
first step to inspire confidence is to
put the enterprise on a solid financial
basis. It it should be said by wav
of discouragement that two canals
will be one too many, it may be noted
at the same time that England would
probably begin the work of construct
ing a second canal across the Isthmus
of Suez were it not for the conces
sion granted to DeLesseps which
practically forbids the construction
of atJecond canal across that isthmus,
The Panama canal, whicli has been
written down so often, is progressing
as rapidly as its most sanguine
friends could expect. The echo of
the declaration, "It will never be
built," has hardly died away when we
nave inis summary th uie woric wnicn
is going on:
The total length of the canal is sev
cnty-four kilometres, from the Atlan
tic to its mouth in the Pacific, at the
islands Kaos and Flamenco. It is di
vided into twelve sections, the most
important of which are those of
Colon, Gorgoua, Obispo, Emperado.
Culebra and Paraiso. These united
sections employ daily thirty steam
excavators, forty locomotives and 800
tip wagons. There are 90,000,000
cubic feet to be excavated. The
grand cuttmg, about two-thirds of
which has already been excavated, is
the cutting between Obispo and Pa
raiso. The force employed xipon the
work is upward of ten thousand men,
and the excavation up the 15th of
October amounted to more than
2,500,000 cubic metres. During these
latter months of the bad season the
excavations have amounted to about
350,000 metres per month. This fig
ure will be quintupled during the fine
season, which commences in Decem
ber, and next year mostly all the nec
essary machinery will be at work,
and the excavations will amount to
4,000,000 metres per month. The
working force wiU.be augmented, and
will form a total of 15.000 men.
Ac Colon (Aspinwali) a breakwater
is being constructed to improve the
liarbor and to break the force of the
heavy seas against the mouth of the
canal: the lagoons m Hie town are to
be filled up, thereby improving its
sanitary condition. The operations
there have greatly enlarged the town.
On the first section of the canal be
tween Colon and Gatun, the first of
the 120-horse power machines is ex-:

NEWS Of THE NORTHWEST.
Salem wante to have the Forest
Grove Indian school removed to the
capital. .
Coal has been struck at each end
of the Siskiyou tunnel. Its quality
is not fully ascertained yet.
The Minneapolis Tribune, noting t
the marvelons progress of that young i
city, slates tuat dunng the present
year 300 new business concerns have
been established there, of which sixty-two
are now manufacturing estab
lishments. Ainsworlh sent a man with a peti
tion and $300 to Olympia to work for
the triple division of Whitman
county, but the man kept right on to
California, and did not visit the capi
tal. Hence Ainsworth is out $300
and her petition.
The Dallas, Oregon, fire depart
ment received their new hand engine
last week and are highly pleased
with it In a test trial last Saturday
evening their force was loo much for
the engine, and they succeeded in
breaking the castings on the pump
handles.
There is -an increasing demand in
Portland for houses of five, Fix and
seven rooms. A hundred of thischiss
would be rented in one day, it rates
were reasonable. The scarcity of
housea has had the effect of filling
the upper iloors of the many new
business buildings junt completed.
The cry for houses U as great as for
female help.
The following is from the Weston
(Oregon J Ltath r: "The great bulk
of grain ha now been hauled to the
different stations. There is still, how
ever, a good deal in the country. The
railroad has plenty of wo rk to do. At
Blue Mountain station alone there
ire over seveuty-five thousand sacks
of wheat awaiting shipment. The
amount taken awav daily does not
robablv average over sixteen hun
dred sacks. At this rate, and making
allowance for what yet may be deliv
ered, the platform will not be cleared
much before the first of January."
One of the most singular features
m uie scencrv ot ine territory oi
Idaho is the occurrence of dark.
rockv chasms into which large
streams, :uid creeks suddenly disap
pear and are never moro seen. These
iissures are old lava channels, pro
duced bv the outside of the molten"
mass cooling and forming a lube,
which on the fiery stream becoming
xhansted, lias leon left empty, while
the roof of the lava duct having at
some points fallen in, presents there
the opening into which the river
plunges and is lost At one place
along the banks of the Snake, one of
these rivers reappears gushing from
i cleft high up m the basaltic walls,
where it leaps a cataract into the tor
rent below, where this stream has
its origin, or at what point it is swal
lowed up, is utterly unknown, though
it is believed that its sources are a
lone way up in the north country.
Besides becoming the channels of liv
ing streams, those lava conduits are
frequently found impacted with ice
masses, whicli never melt.
Bv mauv individuals in many
conutries an oath is regarded very
lightly. To them it is just as easy
to swear as to sneeze, and in many
instances easier. In eastern nations,
among the Mohammedans, an extra
ordinary sanctity is attached to a
solemn asseveration, and the belief in
punishment hereafter to a perjurer is
carried to a degree of fanaticism.
When a Hindoo or a Burmese swears,
he implicates not himself alone, but
all his kindred to the seventh degree,
all his personal acquaintances, and
all hw posterity. Wlien he, through
lapse of memory, perjures himself,
all these are condemned to "ten
kinds of punishment and five attacks
of enemies." Should the perjury be
of a more serious form, the "earth
will open and swallow them all up."
Should he lino win gh' make a false
oath, all his friends and acquaintances
will be precipitated into eighty great
hells and one hundred and twenty
small ones.
Talmage has taken the rolo of
prophet and makes this prediction:
The time will come when John
Chinaman will be able to vote, and
when the Republican party will put
lis arm around his neck and kiss him
on ouejeheek and the Democratic party
will kiss him on the other cheek, and
both of them will light as to who
loved him longest and best. The
Chicago press says we used to spell
negro with two g but we now speak
of the negroes as 'our intelligent
colored brethern."
Another English expression strug
gling for adoption in this country is
"standing for office" as Mr. So-or-
bo has concluded to "stand for the
legislature." The American states
man who wonld succeed cannot afford
to stand for an office he mnst run,
