WEST SIDE RAILRoAD-Work is
progressing favorably on this road, ac-
cordins to the Oregonian. Last years
grading remains in good condition, hav-
ing been we'll and completely executed,
and but few cuts remain to be finished,
which are considered of no great import
ance as to the time they will consume in
completing them. At last accounts the
grading had approached to within half a
mile of Hillsboro, which place would be
reached during the present week, when
the grading force We're to return and
finish one mile aud half of track yet
incomplete between last and this seasons
work. Fifteen hundred feet of trestle
work is to be erected on the grading
done this fall, and the Company have a
force now at work constructing it. Ties
have been contracted for, and quantities
of them are now ready for use. 1t is
thought that the force now at work will
finish up the grading as far as I1illsboro
by the latter part of next week, and that
the whole twenty miles will be graded
and ready for thet ties and rails in one
month, provided the weather offers no
serious hindrancc. The Westsiders have
certainly done well, under all the circum-
stances, having executed an immense
amount of work under all kinds of OBJ
structions and disadvantages, without, as
we are informed, dollar of foreign aid ;
and having accomplished this much by
means of their own resources. we conf
IDENTIFY look forward to an early compile
ton and equipment of at least twenty
miles of the Westside Railroad. This
1ouch of the road completed and in run
, nins order, confidence would be at once
estab lished, and the difficulties that now
obstruct and hinder the management OF
their greatt.undertaking, would speedily
be removed, and the continuation of the
road through the entire length of the
Willamette valley would be but mere
matter of time.

THE FuTuRE king OF SPAIN.-The
Duke of Genoa, about whose prospects
tor the Spanish throne SO much Is said
nowadays, is boyish-looking youth of
Is, seemingly with 10 blood in his veins,
with dark, sentimental eyes, smau hands
and feet, and always dressed in the
height of fashion. His mother is still a
very good-looking lady, and scandalous
reports in Turin and Florence say that
she is the favorite mistress of her uncle,
King Victor Emanuel. The King of
Italy, at all events, is a great deal in the
company of the Duchess, and the very
affectionate manner in which he treats
the lady, even in the presence Of stran-
gers, gives some color to the disparaging
rumors that have been circulated in the
bove-mentionsd respect.
