and a quorum will doubtless be in at
tendance to secure an organization he.
fore the close of the week. Among
the important measures to be intro
duced early in the session, we are in
formed is one for the opening of a wag-
on road through the Cascade Noun
tains, connecting the Walla Walla re-
gion with the Sound. We earnestly
hope that such action will be taken as
to secure the speedy execution Of a
measure fraught with 50 much impor-
lance to the people Of both sections. If
an incorporation is granted, we hope
it will be composed of those whose in
terests and influence are such as will
secure united and vigorous prosccu-
ton of the work. If the eastern men,
bers exhibit a proper regard for the
interests of their constituents, as we
doubt not they will, we will receive
their hearty cooperation, and we re-
gard the members representing this
portion Of the Territory to man in fa-
vor of this object. If there is differ
ence as to the comparative benefit
which will result to both sections from
such an undertaking, we believe it
is greatly in favor of tho eastern
country. Their stock and produce
by this means will be easily sent
to a good market, that of Victoria and
British Columbia, aud our own Terri
tory enabled to supply demand here
toforc mainly fed by Oregon. The in
calculablc advantages resulting from
this arrangement, which can be secured
by small outlay of money, energy and
enterprise, will readily suggest them
selves to those who have it in their
power to inaugurate the movement.
Doubtless measures of more absorbing
interest will engage the attention of
the present session, but none which can
add more to the general prosperity of
tho Territory. The labors Of the last
session in revising and codifying the
laws, will leave comparatively but little
to do by the present Legislature but to
look after tho local interests of their
respective constituencies, and we there
fore expect much wholesome legisla-
ton for all portions of our Territory.
We hope and trust that the clashing Of
sectional interests, at times so detri-
mental to the progress of country,
will not be revived, but that all will To-
Dor unitedly for the common good.
DEwARE!-"A respectable young
man, aged twenty or thirty years, Sign
ing himself 81. w." has dropped an
advertisement into the Postofiice, head
ed Matrimonial" which we regret to
say, was not accompanied by the neces-
sary " greenbax" to insure an insertion
in our paper. We are not averse to the
preparation off "goak," if such was
tho intention of the aspiring youth,
providing it is not accomplished at our
expense; and if 81. w." cor any
other man." wishes to advertise, and
sends the necessary fee, we will see that
his case is properly laid before the pub
lie. The young man says he is " a re-
spectacle young man, aged twenty or
thirty years; established in business |;
good.looking; unassuming in appear
ancc; wishes so open correspondence
with view to matrimony." The
young lady, to meet ~. WIS" require

disposition not a beauty, but hand
some; not over thirty nor under seven

good musician. Money no object.

very much dislike to debar 81. W."
from pursuing his chosen road to matri-

act in such a " niggardly" manner with
