per, because they couldn't appreciate
brains. You know that the B!ade is
composed tf the very best article of
brains, Whitson and Lafollette would
not do anything until they received
consideration or promise, which, of
course, must have been for the want of
brains. My influence is being felt more
and more every day. Why, amy dear

This gentleman, in letter to the
Oregoaian, says that he Intends to build
his railroad to the head of the valley |
as rapidly as possible, and then con-
tinue south to the State line, upon con-
dition that the bill granting lands to
the Humboldt road is passed SO as to
bring that road in on the Southern line
of tho State, and not otherwise; and
that it is the desire Of the Company to
buill their roa | to the State :ne south,
and VIII do so unless Congress shali
nnfavorably legislate. Now, we don'i
want to discourage Mr.. Holidays rail-
road enterprise, but we think we can
plainly see, in Mr.. HIS letter, on at
tempt to throw sand in the eyes Of the
people Of the West Side, and, as We
have said before, We do not intend to
be humbugged much more if we can
possibly help it. In the first place, if
MIR. Holladay intends to build one hun
dred miles of road this year, as he says,
he will have to operate much faster
than he has heretofore. It is over two
years since he undertook this little job,
and about the only thing he has ac-
complishcd is to get the benefit of the
original land grant, which we are fairly
satisfied fairly belonged to the west side.
Men who build railroads at the present
day and age, do not operate that way.
He. has not yet completed twenty
FIVE miles Of road upon which he OPP
crates SO as to receive an income, and
one thing is certain, he will be colnpell.
le to build railroads faster in the future
than he has in the past, or the people
at the head of the valley, even, will
have to wait several years before they
will have the privilege of taking trip
TO Portland on the cars. The truth is,
Mr.. Holladay well knows that railroad
ing in Oregon at present would not be
very profitable investment, but run
ming line of old ships between Port
land and San Francisco il lucrative
business, and the object Of his railroad
operations here are apparent to us. We
- ( -.
suppose he will, after year or two
more, complete q road to Salem, pro-
vided he docs not see an opportunity to
sell and make spec; but it it takes
so much blow and so long time to
build what little he has (and there is
not one person in fifty in Oregon that
knows he has yet completed any how
much of storm of wind and how long
will it take to complete the road to the
State line Let some good mathema-
tician calculate. It is true, just now
| there 10 quite force at work, but then
the Oregon Legislature holds session

ple on the West Side are to have theil

MRs. SAwTELLE.-This notable lady
is out at present lecturing on the rights
of women.
We have not had the pleasure Of
listening TO her arguments, but hope
she may make it convenient to lecture
at Dallas. She is, without doubt, q
lady Of ability and great energy. We
are in full sympathy with the cause in
which she is SO earnestly engaged. ani
hope that she may live TO see the time
when the last vestige Of that principle
which has direct tendency to degrade
the true woman, and take or keep from
her that which rightfuIly to her be-
longs, shall be forever buried deep in
nndistinguished ruins.

the pretencc that this financial king
(so>called) is to build railroad on the
west side of the river; and we should
not wonder il Mr.. III. placed gang of
Cinnamon, or somebody else. on the
line of the road just before the sitting
Of the Legislature, 50 as to again test
the gullibility of the people. We adj
wise out friends on the West Side to
beware. If Mr.. Holladay is able to
build two railroads, running parallel
with each other, and within ten miles,
then most certainly he is able to build
one road. Let him build that one.frst,
then we may have some confidence 10
his building asecond one. Why did
he not let our little scheme alone and
be content with what he had already
obtained from the West Side Why
was he not content after he had beaten
us out Of the frst grant, without op
posing the last and only proposition we
had to make for our own success, which
was simply to avail ourselves of the
miserable little grant given on the
north side Of the base line? For the
purpose, we suppose, of appeasing our
wrath for the insult offered us i'm taking
away the original one, and connecting
that with q promised grant for the Pen
gre route, which would have established
line Of road from the Central route
TO the mouth of the Columbia river,
and on the west side of the Willamette,
the shortest and only natural route.
It was because that little arrange
ment would not do for him; il was not
best fer his particular interest, and SO
he, of course, must play the dog in the
manger, do nothing himself nor allow
any one else TO do; and because he
could raise few dollars he purchased
the West Side franchise, and now the
people can take the consequences. He
seems to think he could not afford to
build road further south than Eugene
City, if the West Side people are to
have road. How does all this come
| about? What now has come over the
spirituf his dreams?
Two years ago all he asked was thai
the Legislature should make new as
signment Of the grant, SO that the Easi
Side could continue their advantage
over us, ane make US trib ltary to them
and he would rush a railroad to tn,
State line before the people of this val
ley could prepare to ride; but wher
next Congress set then what? Oh h,
must have extension of time and Con
gressional legislation TO aid him in full
filing his promise to the people of Or
egon. The grant which he obtained
from us so wrongfully, extended TO th
State line. Was not that enough? o
was it necessary, in addition to tn
grant, that 40 other road should ever b
put in operation in the State w
cant see it. If Mr.. Holiday is /
; carry the interests Of the people Of Or
egon in the palm of his hand to trifl
with at pleasure, then we had bette
surrender at once and become hi
slaves. II remains TO be seen whethe
or not he CONTROLS the ,nexs Legisla
ture, irrespective of party. Let til
people look well to the acts of thei
servants, and do II now, for there is n
valid excuse for the manner in whic
the people of the West Side have bee
treated.
