another individual, who does not furnish the

we circulated subscription paper for tn" nu-

his back. While our friends continue to con-

The ROAD MEETING LAST SATURDAY.
Pursuant to previous notice, an adjourned
meeting of the citizens of Thurston county
was held ut the District School house on
Saturday, the 9th inst. to receive and con-
slider the report Of tho road-viewcrs. The
netting was called to order by Judge Cush-
man, and the report read and accepted. The
meeting was addressed at considerable length
by Messrs. Longmire, Hicks, Browning,
Sparks, and others. The prevailing opinion
seemed to be that the road could not DO
completed in time for the present years EN- .
igration. In consideration of this view, and
the necessarily imperfect exploration made
in the limited time afforded the viewers, it
was, on motion, decided that, the Committee
appointed at the previous meeting Consisting
of Messrs. McI4anc, Miller, Beach, Long,nire
and Winsor) be instructed to cooperate with
the citizens Of Lewis county, to secure ifpos-
ible thorough examination of the various
routes through tho Nisqually Pass. and to
open subscriptions to efray the expenses of
the same. 1t was thought if this was done
much preferable route could be selected,
and completed ut moderate expense cally
next season. We hope and trust tic conf
mittec will meet with the proper encourage
mont from our citizens, and that party of
efficient viewers will be Immediately sent
out to make Thorough examination. If
this is done VIC may expect that something
will be done IN time for next years cmga-
ton. Operations, this year were unfortunate.
ly commenced too late in the season. Every
thing that can be urged, has been said of tho
paramount Importance Of this enterprise, and
it but remains for the people to act. We re-
peat, let tho exploration be at once made.
The lukc-warm disposition Of our citizens has
well nigh ruined tho Sound country. If We
expect to take start forward we must begin
now.
