New York, Jan. 19. Negrotia-! tions for the sale of the property of the Oregon and California rail road company to the C. P. Hunt ington interest, which have been pending for nearly three years, have at last been brought to an end by the conclusion of a definite contract between Andrew Haes, of the firm of Haes & Son, acting for the London committee of bond holders, and Mr. Huntington, act ing for the Southern Pacific com pany and the Pacific Improvement company. The terms of the agreement are substantially as follews: Oregon & California fir.it mortffa":C bond holders are to receive at the rate of 110 in exchange for their pres ent bonds new forty-year gold o per cent, bonds, guaranteed, both principal and interest, by the Southern Pacifrccompan-, together with 4 in cash for each old bond. These new bonds, to be issued at the rate of $30,000 per miio, are to be secured by a new mortgage, equivalent, in point of lien and priority, to the existing first mort gage of the Oregon & California, and will be.ir inteiest from July 1, 1SSG. Oregon & California pre ferred stockholders will secure one share of Central Pacific, together with four shillings sterling for each preferred share, and the common stockholder will get one Central Pacific share for every four of their own shares, together with three shillings sterling for each common .share. The purchase of the property by the Huntington interest will result within eighteen months in the completion of the Oregon & Cali fornia road to a junction with the Central Pacific system at the Cali fornia boundary, thus opening through lines between San Fran cisco and Portland. The 0. & 0. Eailroa'a. San Francisco, Jan. 19. A stiong probability now exists that Montagu station, on the line of the California & Oregon railroad, al most directly on a line with Yreka, will be the winter terminus of the road. Mr. Scobie, masonry con tractor, received word from the authorities at Fourth and Town send streets a few days ago, order mg him to confine his work to thib point. Ten miles of the track yet remain to be laid before Montagu can be reached, and it is more than probable that the force of men employed there will be taken off and put to work on the South ern California projects of the Southern Pacific. One of the rea sons stated to account for the dis continuance of the work on the northern line is tfiat a disagree ment has taken place between Messrs. Standford, Huntington and Crocker of the Southern Pa cific and Henry Villard of the Or egon & California by which the negotiations for the sale of the latter line to the Southern Pacific have fallen through. Should no satisfactory conclusion be come 10 the California & Oregon line will be extended to Klamath river and then continued into eastern Ore gon. The Rapidity of Progress Toward Health.

More than a dozen times a week I am asked; "How many hop roots to plant on an acre: and "Do you think it will pay to plant hops now?" To the latter ques tion, if your soil and location are suited, ana you go in witn means and determination to stay, I would answer "Yes;" but if one or both, or all three of these conditions, are absent, tnen of course, "No." Hop growing in "Washington ter ritory is 3ret in its infancy, and many will doubtless fail and lose money on their ventures I would say that five thousand hop roots should be planted to the acre; that is, if vou want nearly a full crop the first year. "We now practice planting a double hill, so to speak, and afterward destroy one half of it by the plow; that is, we plant two roots on one side of the pole, and three about twelve inches distant on the opposite side If the land is good and well pre pared, large roots planted and properly cultivated, no fear but you can harvest fourteen hundred pounds per acre, planting in March or April and harvesting last week in September of same year. 1 hae, in excej'tiona1 tubes, har vested over a tou per acro the first year, under conditions as described. fr tut tie Post- Intell icen cer.
