There is considerable of a kiok on the
Sound about the location of the naw
yard. The complaint appears to have
some ground lor existence, as the loca
tion is manifestly an ill-advised one. but
it is just as well, perhaps, in not being

takes of Moses." It's no sure thing that

enough to enumerate our poultry after
they have gone through the process of in
cubation. i

A grain elevator of the capacity of
1,000,000 bushels is building at Portland.
The building will be 313x63 feet and
about 125 feet high. The original con
tract was for an elevator of the capacity
of 500,000 bushels, to be completed by
August, but since the capacity was
changed to 1,000,000 bushels the time for
completion has been extended to Septem
ber 1st. This is to be the terminal

General Adna Anderson, formerly
chief engineer and second vice-president
of the Northern Pacifio Railroad com
pany, who built that road over the Cas
cades, and who has been employed for
some time in looking over the routes of
tne Seattle, .bate shore and Eastern,
northward and eastward, has reached
New York and made a flattering report
to th'e moneyed men in that city, who
were willing to bond that road if it could
be demonstrated to their satisfaction
that the routes were feasible. They are
said to be satisfied with his report and with
tne character of country through which
the road will run, and believe that there
is room for a transcontinental line be
tween the Northern Pacifio and the
Canadian Pacific, paralleling those two
lines.
