We were not mistaken, it seems, when
We relied upon the good Offices of Col.
Wallace in behalf Of his former constituents
and friends, although he now represents an
other constituency and another Territory.
His removal to another Territory has not
diminished his interest in this, as recent
letters from him bear ample testimony. In
a letter 20 Mr.. J. Ii. Munson, dated Wash.
ington, March u, 1864, he says he will do
all in his power to advance the interests Of
Washington Territory, and adds, in refer
ence to the Puget Sound and Columbia
River Railroad project
~ introduced bill in the last Congress
appropriating lands to aid the Territory in
the construction of Railroad from Stella
COON to Vancouver. Had / been advised
ut an earlier day of the action of the Leg
islaturc in incorporating company to build
the Road, l could have got the land; but
the information reached me too late. The
committee to whom it was referred ordered
report in favor Of the passage Of the bill,
but it was so late in the session that the re-
port could not be made under the rules I;
the committees not being called for reports
till the close of the session. Whether your
Delegate will call up this bill or not, I can
not say; IL he does, will give him all the
aid in my power to secure its passage.
And not only will aid him in this, but in
oil other measures having tendency to
promote the interests Of your Territory"
