,noN. s.s. SMITH.

De- . HON :. n. SMITH. as..ea,T
50 scs14ssrs sexs - =
The arrival of our member in Con-
gress, Hon. j. S. Smith, is announced
in the Portland papers. It is to be
hoped that no. noisy demonstration
greeted his return; that he escaped the
merciless clutches of areception COM
mittee; that tho stupidity of the
'.speeSh BY the chairman the blare
of bugles and the futter of flags, and
all the, attendant inventions of the
world of toadies, have been averted
from him. These are not necessary to
tell him thaS he is not forgotten. He
has invoked reception in the hearts
of his fellow. citizens that ought to
CRAFTY the pride of a more ambitious
man. He has won that applause that
will endure while his constituents
cherish u sincere respect for probity
in public as we'll as private life.
1t is not often that member of the
House 6nds himself opposed by so
many circumstances as must have con-
fronted 5Ir. Smith upon his accession
to his seat, and not oftener does men,
Der win for himself greater respect
or accomplish more for his State than
he has done. The new admins ration
had received new lease of power. In
its overwhelming majority at the polls
it had received q new license to pro-
scribe e; err -c1ieer and ignore every
constituency that presumed to repudi-
ate its politics Tire two enators from
Oregon were his bitter political oppo-
nents-ona Of them insisted upon re-
garding him as a riyal-and they omit
ted no opportunity to defeat or retard
every measure that he proposed or by
parliamentary strategy to constitute
themselves the authors of it. But in
spite of this, Mr.. Smith has accom-
plished much for Crsson-more, we
believe, than any member that Oregon
has ever had. During his term no
measure OF general interest to the State
has been lost IN the House. The
amendments afecticg the western ter
mini OF the North Pacific Railroad.
which were hardly looked for and vet
are OF such vital interest to the people
OF Oregon. originated in the House
and we believe were almost wholly due
to the Efforts CT Mr.. Smith. This
single instance suffic emily declares his
faithful and efficient service in Con
gress- Il illustrates, as well, the con-
hdence and respect that he acquired
among his opponents in politics, who
did themselves the credit of doing Dir.
Smith this much of justice. He has,
very unlike most of his associates. made
no ostentation of his public acts.-
These have reached his friends through
ordinary and generally unfriendly
channels. Had he been in Senator
Williams place and enjoyed his oppor.
mites, he would certainly have beer
second to 20 man in Congress.
Without meaning disparagement tc
any member Of the forty-frst Congress
yet is but giving credit where credi
is deserved. and honor to whom homo,
IS due, to express our regrets that there
were not more men in that body tina
exhibited the same earnest and homes
devotion to the substantial interests O
those who sent them, that Mr.. Smitl
has, and who, like him, are satisfied
to let the record of their public act
speak their prz@e.

PROGRESS OF FTnE RAILROAD.

ihe ioae-'eu Is uoout colnpiclet 10
Salem, and large force of workmen
are now engaged in grading Oh this
side of that city. Track-laying is com
lleted to the Molalla bridge, but is
now suspended for the lack OF iron.
Two vessels, however, are due at Port
land with large amount of ct" rail
on board. and as soon as it arrives the
road will be vigorously pushed forward
to the capital. The iron for tho first
ono hundred miles of the road has
be.n ahoat between Liverpool and
Portland for about $50 days, and has
had ample time to arrive at the latter
port, and when it does the road will
be hu, ried forward as fast as possible.
Choppers and quarrymen are busily
engaged in getting out material for the
Santiam bridge, ut Jeiferson. and some
! Of the timber and stone are already on
the ground for the construction of the
work. Even Mt the present low stage
of the water in the Santiam, the mid
die pier of the bridge will have to be
built twenty feet under water, which
will necessitate the use of diving bells,
two of which were brought up from
San Francisco by the "Oriilamme last
Thu 'sday for that purpose. 1t is now
universally believed that the contract
ors for the road will keep their faith
with our citizens and give Albany rail-
road communication with Portland by
the first of January, as nominated in
the bond"
We clip the following extract from
the Oregonian of last Monday, in re-
gard to the progress of the road:
"a party of gentlemen went up yes
terday ON an excursion train TO the
Molalla bridge, the present terminus
of the track. The road is, however,
graded, and trestles built ready for the
rails. to point several miles further
up the valley. The part of the road
constructed last year is now straight.

lent condition, as is also portion oI
the new road. From Parrots Point te
the bridge, the road is Us pretty a piece
of work rs there can be anywhere
with but a single curve and almos
level. The grade from Bakers Prairi,
down to the bridge is not more thar
40 feet to the mile. The bridge, 3Ot
feet long. stretches across the stream
in two equal spans at height of abou
35 or 40 feet, and is supported by thre,
substantial piers, one at either banl
and another III the middle, apparent,
strong enough to defy the terribl,
floods which sometimes come pourin.
down the river. The bridge, one o
"Howe's Improved Truss" is an i'm
posing as well us beautiful structure
and is estimated to be strong enough
to carry about six times the weigh
which it is possible to put on it b,
trains crossing. The bridge and tres
tie work necessary to construct cross
ing of the Molalla is $500 feet il
length. A portion of the trestle worl
is almost as high as the bridge; but i
| is built so substantial that the mos
timid passenger must find it difficult t,

Mr.. Paris said that muck should be ex-

the operation.
Mr.. :. d. Hutchinson thought the COM

they were cheap enough. He would APP

thought salt good. In sailing his aspara'

Mr.. Carter remarked that muck was
