A RAILROAD FROM WHITE BLUFFS
TO PEN d,OREILLE LAKE.

at White Bluffs, is found in the fact
that the road would be practically of
no use for an average of three months
in the year; on account of the Colum.
bia RIVER being frozen up for an aver,
age OF two months, and the difficulty
of acs ending the Umatilla Rapids for
several weeks in the fall of each year.
The second objection, is in the fact
that the material would have to be
sent up the river at heavy expense,
making two portages and being trans
ported on three different river sections.
1t would have to be shipped FIVE times
twice by railroad and three times
by steamer. 1t would then be neces-
sary to go into the interior, aud bring
the timber to be used in the construc.
tion OF the road fifty or sixty miles
by land, or TO run it. down the Colum.
bia or Spokane several hundred miles
over dangerous rapids.
The third objection to making White
Bluffs the initial point il, that it is not
! yet decided that the road is to pass in
by that place; and if it does, it will
probably seek the connection with the
sea by Snoqnalmie Pass, which does
not suit the interests of either Ore-
gop or the river counties Of Washing
ton Territory.
The scheme of building this great
road is the private property OF no
parLi 'ular man or set of men, and the
attempt To commit i,s execution to the
hands of part es having an adverse in>

establishment of the st. Charles theater, in the
upper district, above Canal street, it was selfev
dent that competition would arise between the
upper and the lower public places Of amusement,
and this competition could not, in the long rum be
otherwise than in favor of the ever varying multi
tude, seeking this southwestern emporium as the
great central point of winter congregation. Hence
we behold the greater part Of the Northern shows
and theatrical amusements and performances in
the upper part of Canal street neutral ground, as
that locality long was denominated. And if any
thing shall ever reinvigorate the Orleans street
district, it must be some unknown revolution in
social amusement and pastime, for which, at pres
ent, there is little or no prospect in view. That
the present theatrical performances give but
little vitality to this vicinage, need no mention
and even supposing certain success possible to
the present patronizing public, it never will be
able to restore to this favored locality its for
mer splendor, and all pervading prosperity; hence
we may well end with saying, sic transit gloria

MAJOR G. W. SQUIREs.-As may be seen upon
reference to card published in another column
this morning, this popular gentleman has become
one of the firm of Isaacson, Sexas 4 Co., whole
sale grocers. Major S. possesses rare adapta-
bty for any pursuit he may 60 into, and will, no
doubt make a name as merchant with the same
rapidty as he did when a soldier. He is one of
those men who always do well what they under
take. Persons doing business with him can, there
fore, rely upon faithful attention to their inter
ests, and when he receives consgnments they will
be made to yield as much or more than they would
in the hands of any one else. The gentlemen with
whom he has connected himself are first class
business men also and as it stands the firm is hard
to beat. We wish them the success their merits
deserve, and we feel assured that there is too much
good sense in the country for them to need Gus
toners.
