Is a few years Siberia "trill be added to the great granaries of the world. We are accustomed to think of that part of Russia's Asiatic possessions as & country covered with eternal ice and saow and swept by deadly blasts from the Arctic ocean. Nothing could be xaore erroneous. In character, soil, climate and resources Siberia is Tery much like our own im perial northwest. The winter is severe oa the open plains, but the summer is warm and genial. That Siberia is not the dreary desert it is popularly sup posed to be is shown by the fact that the projected trans-Siberian railway "will ran north of the 55th parallel, or at an average latitude of 700 miles farther north than Minneapolis, and about 250 miles beyond the northern most point touched by the Canadian Pacific Railroad. The Great Siberian road will be the largest single line of railway in the world, or at least the largest line as yet built or projected. The distance from the Ural mountains to Yaldi TOstok, its eastern terminus, is 4,500 Biles, or 1,500 miles more than the distance between Quebec and Vancou ver. At the present time the commer cial importance of this new line of traffic and travel can only be a mat ter of conjecture, but that it will be great and in many respects epoch making does not admit of the slight est doubt Northern Asia is a remote country, yet the construction of the trans Siberian railway is a matter in which tie northwest is decidedly concerned. It will open up a vast area peculiarly adapted to wheat-raising, a country where a virgin soil and cheap labor will combine to stimulate an immense production. Yc are not here dealing with remote future possibilities. The Siberian railway will be open for traffic within four years from bow, and agricultural immigra tion will then be attracted by liberal offers of free laud. Already Siberian wheat has been exhibited in European markets in limited quanti ties. When an outlet for the product has been provided, the industry will expand and the surplus available for export will increase from year to year. The Siberian railway will connect with the railroad systems of Russia proper, Finland, Sweden and Norway. It is probable that one of the many excellent harbors in the northern part of the latter country will be the western terminus of a groat trans-European and trans-Asiatic railway system and the chief empor ium for the Siberian wheat destined for the market? of western Europe. Siberia will become one of the chief grain exporters of h world, auJ onr farmers will feel the depressing effect ! Siberian comietition it they con tinue to depend upon foreign markets for the sale of their surplus. Ry the taae the agricultural resources of Borthem Asia shall have been devel oped the United States will have gone oat of the wheat-exporting business. Frrrr years ago a young country man from Vermont went to Boston to try his fortunes. He hit upon the idea of establishing a parcel earning business between Boston and New York, he being responsible for the safety of the parcels. His patronage was not large. At first he carried all the parcels he had between the two cities in his carpet bag, and there was aot more than money enough to pay kk traveling expenses, hardly that sometimes. The young countrymau's same was Alvin Adams, and yesterday the Adams Express company cele brated its fiftieth anniversary. It has a capital of 12,000,000, carries par cels to every state and territory in the Union, and keeps 2,000 wagons, 3,000 horses and 20,000 men busy the year round. The Astoriax yesterday was the oaly paper in Oregon or Washington that had the news of the acquisition by England of the Congo Free States. Even the Oregonian was scooped. Tsr Astokiax had a column account of it This is the biggest piece of aews sent across the sea in years, and the first publication of it in Astoria's Iwrfing paper, shows what a live news paper can do. It is a great triumph for Salisbury, the British prime minister, and a feather in his cap to be able to do what he has, and is to bis official tenure of office what the treaty of San Stefano was to the astute Beaconsfield. 0e of the best and most unique in VOBtio&s is a machine for buttering bread. It is used in connection with a patent bread-cutter, and is intended far we in prisons, work-houses and other reformatory institutions. Faascxs E.

Ik Portland everything on the Democratic ticket is being traded for Pennoyer. The most of the tradincr here will be on the legislative ticket Theke should be a full vote to-day. It is the duty, as well as the privilege of every legally qualified voter to assert his opinion at the polls. The political complexion of the new immigration to this country is consid ered an unknown factor in the result of to-day's contest Pexnoyer's majority in this county in 'S8 was 359. To-day's vote will tell a different story. It is estimated that 150,000 new comers will arrive in Oregon this year. . . Brightens Prospects. Between Albany and Astoria several towns are speculating over their pros pects on account of the Albany and Astoria road. The Sheridan Courier Bays: "Now that the surveyors of the Albany and Astoria railroad have set to work surveying the lino of that road from Astoria to Tillamook, and as the line has already been surveyed from Albany by Sheridan, our prospects of securing a road to the sea again brightens up. The graders, it is said, will begin work at Astoria when the survey is completed to Tillamook, and as there is already 2,000,000 in guar anteed subscriptions behind the scheme, the road will likely be built in a short time." And the Monmouth paper comes to hand with the remark: "Now let us see where Monmouth stands regarding this lino. A survey has been made from Albany and it passes within a short distance just far enough to be comfortable of the central portion of our fair city. It doesn't make any difference if the lino is built from Astoria first Albany will also run her end of the line and the connection will probably be made at Sheridan. The road is sure to be built and Monmouth is sure to become as good an inland town as there is in the state. Millions in It. "There is millions in a gold sand bank near Peterson's point at the mouth of Gray's harbor," Samuel Benn, of Aberdeen, declared last even ing at The Tacoma. "It's an old story though," he continued, "and quite a fortune has been sunk by various parties in attempting to develop or work it You see the precious metal contained in the sand is what is called flour gold. So far no machine has been invented which will separate the very fine particles of gold from the sand. Some thirty years ago attempts were made to work the sand, but all efforts resulted in failure. The gold is found in black sand, and tons upon tons of it is in sight Nobody is now paying much attention to it, but I reckon a machine will some day be invented which will separate the gold from the sand, t have been inspecting a ma chine which Judge Ruasel invented. He says it will do the work and I am inclined to think it will" Mr. Benn located on Grays Harbor two score years ago. Speaking of the probability of a railroad being built to the harbor by Mr. Hunt he said he was ready to inew his subsidy, amounting to several thousand dol lars, it Hunt or anybody else would agree to construct a" road direct from the Northern Pacific to Aberdeen.
