Walla Walla Railroad Company.

".
We publish below, an interesting com
munication from Capt John Mullan, of
the U. s. Army, on the subject of the pro-
posed Walla Walla Railroad, which ap-
peared in the N. Y. Railroad Journal Of
March 2Sth
The undersigned-wh for the last five
years has had charge of the construction
Of the military road from Walla Walla on
the Columbia River IN Washington Terri
tory to Fort Benton on the Missouri River
in Idaho Territory, having been appointed
Commissioner by the Body Of CORPORATE
of the Walla Railroad company, ata meet
ing held at Walla Walla, w. T., on the
lst day Of January, 1868, 70 solicit sub
scrptions to the capital stock Of said COM
pany, desires to state-thlt this company
was duly chartered by tAc Legislature Of
the Territory of Washington with the pow
cr and privilege of constructing and main
tanning railroad from the city of Walla
Walla to Walula on the Columbia river
Walula is a point of debarkation on the
Columbia River Cor the line Of steamers
that ruh on the upper Columbia, and ex-
cppt for limited per;o Of the year is the
highest point pract cable fr steamers
Walla Walla is in the centre of the WallA
Walla Valley, and distant from Wallula
thirty miles. The object Of the construc-
ton Of he road is to complete the line of
Francisco to Wala Walla. which will be
effected and every mile travelled by means
Of steam. When This line is completed,
Walla Walla will then become the COM
mercal centre which will supply the large
and rich mining region recently discovered
in Eastern Oregon and Washington Terri
tory. For sixteen miles, the road passes
through a beautiful and rich section of the
Walla Walla Valley. which is now thickly
settled, and where the valley is so level
that it is already prepared for the r; road
ties, and where too the grade in no case
will exceed twelve feet per mile The re-
naming section of fourteen miles will in
volve moderate cuts through clay hills and
the construction of three bridges. The en-
tire road work of preparing road bed,
bridging, iron laying of track, purchase of
C0lS' anu CiCCIiOh VI Oul'ulhSS VIZ az ON
covered by the sum of six hundred thou
sand dollars. The tiers will be supplied
from the timber on the hills bordering the
Walla Walla Valley, and it is proposed to
contract for all the iron, cars, and necessa-
ry fixtures in Eastern markets. Walla
Walla is an incorporated city containing
two thousand people, and the county seat
of one of the richr st agricultural counties in
Washington Territory, containing probably
six thousand people The trade and trans
portation on this entire line is now being
carried on by wagons and hack-trains,
where freight for the 80 miles is Carried at
$40 per ton There are two daily stage
lines over this section, where passengers
are charged $5 per head.
