A FLANK MOvEMENT.-Immedia
after the Seattle and Walla Walla rail-
road was projected, Judge Rice and
Simeon Reed, az emissaries from the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
visited Walla Walla with the purpose of
creating an influence against the project
by the use of whatever means were at
their command-cajolery, promises,
sophistical arguments against the prac-
ticability of the scheme. and the last
resort of Railroad rings, the placing of
money "where it would do the most
good" We xrs ars1fed from the most
reliable sources that their mission was
An utter failure in every particular. A
people who have suffered for years from
the exhorbitant and oppressive exac-
tions'of a monopoly which has shown
no mercy or consideration for justice to
those in its power, were not in a frame
of mind to be fooled by the friendly
.protestations and indefinite promises of
d representative of their old oppressor,
whose only claim to their confederation
is the wealth; and the experience of the
people of Olympia and other places up
on the Sound, taught them the faith
lessness Of promises or agreements en-
tered into by agents Of the N. P. r. E.
Co. who are members of the Land Ring.
What new facilities of transportation
can the N. P. e. Co. offer to the people
of Eastern Washington and Oregon, or
Northern Idaho, all of whom would be
accommodated by the Seattle and Walla
Walla road with the 'hortest, quickest
and cheapest line of transportation to
the ocean2 At the present time the
producers of that section, the richest
and most productive upon the Pacific
coast. are absolutely impoverished by
the rates of transportation; and for this
the people very well hnow there is no
remedy so long as the present monopoly
exists.

the most fashionable and elite of Port
land. Every seat in the capacious hall
was taken, and great many were COM
PEELED to stand in the aisles, or wherev.

of Oregon scenery was exhibited in this

largest audienoewe have ever seen con-

sainl5 true representation Of the vari-
ous scenes. Some of the pictures are
truly magnificent, while they are all cor
rect. The work is credit to the artist.
We cannot see where we could improve
on any portion of it. The pictures were
all 80 faultless that we cannot find it in
our critic disposition to find fault with
any or to speak in higher praise of one

PHoToGRAPHIc.-Ther seems to bci
some objection made to rdle recently
printed in this paper. over my sigma.
ture, concerning the pre-sngagement of
sittings for small children. Do you
want good pictures of your cEildrenf
Do YOU wish to be waited on as soon as
you come into the gallery, or do you
wish to wait half an hour or an hour?
Don't you know that the longer a child
has to wait the less liable we are to get
a good picture? Therefore T think the
plan is good one, and shall rigidly
adhere to it. I shall have something
pore concerning the plan of pre-en-
gagements to say in future article.

The LAND R1Na.-The revelations OF
the operations of the Land Ring 'upor
tho Pacific Division of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, which We commenced
have aroused sentiment Of Indignant
Fiemonstrance against the abuses which
we exposed. which extends all over the
country and is shared in by every fiend
of the Railroad who is not see1 III u
subordinate its Interests to purpbses OF
private speculation; and We believe it is
now apparent to the managers Of the
Company that the success of their pro
ject demands an immediate dissolution
with the Land Ring and all connected
Herewith. This is undoubtedly the
secret of the peremptory order by tele-
graph to the Terminus Commissioners
to report at head quarters forthwith,
and it carries with it the probability
that their action will be rejected by the
Board as manifestly against public pol
icy and specially a 3ainst the interests of
the road. If net, it will be taken as
confessed that the Railroad Company is
under the control Of tie Land Ring.
From the Duluth Minnesotian of Aug.
%, we copy the following significant
paragraphs:
"On Monday, of last week, as the
pleasure party OF Ex-Vics President
Colfax, Hon. VIM. Window, and others,
was proceeding west, they we've met by
a delegation of citizens at Detroit Lake.
who had assembled at the depot to pay
their respects to the distinguished par
ty. Mr.. Colfax appeared and made
neat little speech to them, at the close
of which he introduced the Hon. VIM.
Window, who, in the course of few
remarks gave the Lake Superior and
Puget Sound Townsite and Land Mo
nopoly Disgrace to the N. P. Railroad
Company little attention, as follows:
"It affords me pleasure to meet so
many of the citizens of Detroit, and l
will avail myself of this opportunity to
say that had never before been con-
vinced of the inexpediency, not to say
folly of corporations attempting to
build up cities, the contrast between
this beautiful and thriving place and
those which the Townsite Company that
has been operating along the line of the
Northern Pa, ,ifc road have made,
would now be satisfied that the only
way to build cities is to let the people
do it, uninfuerced by any power or
motive but their own interest. Two
years ago, when encamped with the Di-
rectors of tho Northern Pacific C0mpa-
ny on the shore of your lovely lake, the
question Vos presented whether this
toxnsite should be placed under the
control of Col. johnson and kfs friends,
or remain under the management of the
Lake Superior and Puget Sound Com
parry. l voted to give it to the people,
and tho thriving little city spread out in
such beauty before US to-day proves the
wisdom of that decision. I can only
add on this point that so long as re-
main member of the Northern Pacific
Board, every vote of mine shall be Civ
en- in favor Of the principle that the
people whose enterprise and industry
build cities shall own them.
