RAILRoAD-The Idaho Statesman is ae-
itating the question of constructing a branch
Railroad from Salt Lake City, to some point
on the Columbia River. 1t argues that
such road would be of vast benefit to the
people Of Oregon, as well as to those of the
mining districts to the eastward; also that
it would be good chance for the investment
of capital. We should like to see this road
built. 1t is certainly very desirable line,
and should receive the encouragement of all
interested in the early development of the
vast region of country eastward of the Cas>
cade mountains.

..Makine History.~

The puritan-radicals, or radical puritans,
and their newspaper organs, are still ringing
the changes about " making historyP Who
disputes it? Nobody. They hare made
history-made it fast, and as odious as fast.
No ueople or nation under the sun ever made
history to equal it. 10 six years time these
people have loaded the nation with debt
which, if paid in gold, as the bOna-hOlders
claim it ought to be, will take generations OF
time, and the labor of toiling milliOnsto wipe
out; and if the party in power holds to its
place and to its thieving principles, it never
will or can be paid, but will grow 'heavier
and heavierStill the crack Of doom. Within
these short six years they can boast, if they
like, of buryipg million of our Peopls--the
best of tie nation. They can boast, q turn
ing loose upon the land mighty host of
hideous blacks, too ignorant to understand
what "freedom" means, and too lazy toWork;
and who will, perchance, in the not distant
future, fall the unwilling victims of rad
ical policy, in a remorseless war of races
foreshadowed years ago by that great apos"
tie of Abolitionism, William II. Ssward.
Thoy oan boast Of having erootOd q military
despotism in one half the Union, 'aUd priv
ileged aristocracy in the ether half! Is not
this history? But this catalogue of crime
and folly is not tithe of the historical points
that will be enlarged upon in after years,
and set down to the credit of tie par ercel>
lence historical party There will be much
more of the same kind of material to fill up
with. Such, for instance, as 0rrying cleo
tions by the powerful agency cI frauds, bas-
tiles, military terrorisms, &C., &c. We could
pity the stupid BOBBY who wouh not accord
the radical party the full measure and glory
of its history. The history t has made
is all alike-all odious and dbhonorable-
not solitary redeeming act in the course Of
its swift, despotic, destructive career. But
we have had enough of such history. The
people are tired of it, and calling from one
end of the country to the Other for change
They aoiU have change Six more years
of radical rule, with its degrading inAueu-

LOOK TO IT.-We hear numerous COM
plants made daily from teamsters and 9th.
srs, about the almost impossible condition Of
the road at the Mill Creek bridge, on the
Walla WalIa aud Wallula wagon road. Heav.
lily loaded teams are compelled to travel
three miles out of the way, by another route,
in order to get back and forth with their
loads. This state of our main travelled road
is shameful. We understand there is now
money in the County Treasury designed to
be used in repairing the roads. Let the
money be applied at once, and have the nui
sance abated.

OFF.-All the weighty members Of the
Legislature from this side, started for the
Capital last Sunday morning If there be
any dilatory, lingering soul left behind, we
would fain know of his "whereabOut he
keeps himself" We may reasonably look
out for some unusually chiefly" legislation
this winter, judging from the avordupois
bulk of the Honorables. But seriously,
we hope our legislators will set themselves
earnestly TO WORK and IegIslate only with
view to promoting the true interests of the
entire Territory. II has been too mach the
fashion of former sessions to tinker with
laws in force, that we're acceptable to the
people, and in this manner created Only conA
fusion in executing them. We take it for
granted that our people favor only just SO
much legislation as is absolutely necessary
for good government, and no more. Better
have too little legislation than too much of
it. Members had better sit in their seats,
from the first day of the session until the
end of it, in perfect idleness, rather than to
be active in tampering with unobjectimable
laws, or enacting odious ones. This r1le of
action will be the moro necessary this sea.
son as there will not be another session un>
til two years hence; and consequently, un,
wise legislation might work much harm be-
fore it could be altered or repealed. We
trust these gratuitous hints on our part will
not be deemed offensive by the Honorable
servants of the people. A word to the wise
is sufficient.

A GOOD CHANCE FOR LAND CLAMs.-Some of
the best land, for all purposes, in the Valley, is
situated only from three to FIVE miles north of
Walla Walla city, and is as yet, unclaimed. 1t
is what is generally termed bench land, and as
level as could be wished. 1t is covered at all
seasons of the year with an excellent growth of
the bunch grass common to the uplands. This
tract embraces several thousand acres, and re.
mains unoccupied solely for the reason that it is
situated too far from water courses. To obviate
this difficulty, gentleman Of this city says Wa.
ter can be taken from Mill creek, or a branch of
it, and put upon this fertile tract, by means of
ditch, at cost not to exceed two hundred
dollars. The water, when once upon the bench,
could be used admirably well for irrigating pur-
poses, when desired. At the upper end of this
bench land, where it approaches Mill creek,
ditch fences are in use exclusively, and have
stood the test of turning stock successfully, for
FIVE years. These bitches should be of proper
depth and width, and constructed during the
fall and winter or early in the spring. Upon
lands like these, bitches are durable, and in:

The OregOnian, alluding to some weather item
published in this paper, which spoke of recent
rains, institutes a comparison between favora>
BILE weather there and the unfavorable weather
here. From this comparison, that paper makes
out a~favorable case, of course, and concludes
by the polite invitation: "Come to Webfoot if
you want to fud climate" That is persuasive;
but to tell the truth, we had rather not. We've
been there, and know all about it. That climate
is good; very good-for ducks, and the best in

REPORT.

To his Excellency, w. f. Moore, Governor
W. T., Dear Sir:-The undersigned, Inspec.
tors for the Insane and Idiotic Asylum of
Washington Territory, beg leave to submit
the following report; We met at the Asy-
lum, on Saturday, the Goth day of October,
1867, for the purpose of examining the
Asylum and the inmates therein contained,
and after a careful examination of the pa
tients and the premises, we find that there
are sufficient rooms for the accommodation
of all the patients, and that they are we'll
provided with food and necessary clothing
for the comfort of all the patients The in
mates have plenty of out door exercise in the
open grounds, and appear to be well supplied
with food and common necessaries Of life
We find the,following named persons in the
Asylum, (here follows list of names of I'M
mates). The mental condition of the inmates,
is about the same as has been reported for
merly. ]. W. Mitchell has not improved
any Of Importance since he came to the Asy-
lum. In the case of Mrs. Headly there ap.
pears to be slight improvement, We also
find j. G. Davis in the Asylum, at his own
expense, being sent here from Penns Cove
Island County by his friend Mr.. Bozartb:
bis health is good, his mental health is much
the same as it was when he left in the Asy,
lum. Mrs. G. Spinning, who was reported
pregnant in former report has given birth
to child and is quite restored to health
and mind. We have also examined the con,
tract between the Territory and Messrs.
Huntington and Hays, and cannot see but
they are fulfilling their part of the contract
as near as possible, and the circumstance.
will permit. The names, ages and former
residences have been submitted in former
reports, and we deem it unnecessary to in,
sert them in this. We are informed bv the
contractors that they have competent pbv.
sieian employed for the Asylum. Also that
there will be no charge against the Terrific.
ry, for the maintenance of Mrs. Spiunino's
enIid while 1t remains at the Asylum. An
of which is respectfully submitted.
