ANOTHER SACRAMENTO. 80 Another
Sacramento-to use a fayorite expression
of our far-seeing town-site speculators,-
for this upper country is about blowing
into existence below the mouth of the
Umatilla, on sand-bar somewhere near
what is known as Grand Ronde Landing
We believe it is intended by the moving
spirits in this enterprise to lay even Lew
iston in the shade When we reflect that
Lewiston was so much below high-wa
mark in the spring, and is now SO much
above it, in one sense of the word, it seems
as though there might be some method
in this madness" Wallula, they argue,
can never be TIE point; for there is nei-
ther soil nor timber there; they must de-
pend upon the Walla Walla mills for their
lumber-fsh their frewood from the ''re-
morseless waves" of the Columbia, during
the June freshets, and pay tribute to the
Walla Walla valley for all their beef, NUT
ton, -four and potatoes hence her Sacra-
mento pretentions are ignored. So Grand
Ronde Landing must be the point; for
they must have another Sacramento some
where; besides, this place possesses some
very fine natural advantages-some cot
tonwood, some stones, considerable sand
and gravel, and a few grass. And
then this is the natural landing point for
all the Grand Ronde freight, and for the
sake of convenience all the freight des-
tired for the upper country must go
through the Grand Ronde valley 1t is
only about forty miles from Grand Ronde
valley over to Walia Walla by the new
trail, and only about double that distance,
over a Uery little worse road, from Grand
Ronde Landing to Grand Ronde valley
hence Walla Walla merchants will have
all their goods packed through by this
route. in preference TO having them shipped
direct to Wallula; and, on the other
hand, they can haul all their produce and
supplies for the Powder river country to
Wallula, ship them to Grand Ronde Land
ing and have them packed U9d the Grand
Ronde valley into the mines; and again,
as the soil at the Landing does not prom
ise support for Sacramento population,
Walla Walla producers can pack their
produce over the trail to the Grand Ronde
valley and thence across the mountains
and supply the people at the Landing.
Very lucid, certainly But, gentlemen,
if you must build " Sacramento" have
some mercy; leave us breath.ng-room, and
don't smother us with the breath of count
less thousands; for we have decided par
tiality for pure air.
