HOW TASTES DIFFER

HOW TASTES DIFFER"
One Of the most remarkable peculiar
tiles of human nature is observed i'll the
facility with which the Judgment can
be swayed to snit the circumstances and
surroundings Of the individual. Why
it is that but one side of n question can
lie seen Mt once is mystery, unless it
is conceded that venaliiy is common
heritage, controlling in an emi;4eA. de-
gree tho ac.s Of men.
Viewed from what we regarded as a
disinterested stand. point, we had about
come to the conclusion that the project
of the people of Seattle, of a narrow
gauge railroad connecting their magni-
fcent harbor with the great Walla Walla
valley, was feasible. taking into cousid-
GRAFTON The enterprising character of the
people of both sections and the natural
adaptations of the country for the work
proposed. But the Beacon, which an
nounces itself as the headligM of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co., talks so
learnedlv about railroads and counts the
cost with such apparent JUNCTION, that
we should abandon all hope did we not
know that it is to the special interest of
that journal to defeat the project.
The BcGcon thinks that the new COM
pany will not obtain more favorable
terms in disposing of their bonds than
did Ben Holiday for the Oregon road,
and this would increase the estimated
cost of the Seattle Company's road to
about s6,SG4 goo, the annual interest
upon which at seven FER cent. would
amount to $3.50, 4SO, or 81 ,316 per cal
ondar day. The Bcocon assumes that
the project Will fail because the present
torn of Seattle cannot pay that amount
of interest. 1t makes no estimate of
its immediate and rapid growth, or
for the important part the great Walla
Walla valley is to- assume in the enter
prise. If the destiny of Seattle was
fulfilled, or if it possessed no better
natural advantages than Tacoma, or if
it was on her own unaided exertions
the enterprise depended for support,
We might accept tie Bcacon's state
ments without grain or two of salt.
The truth of the matter is, the sue
cess of the Seattle and Walla Walla
railroad project would be the death-blow
to Tacoma and all the aspirations of the
land ring. The great city would be
built independent of their ownership
or control, at the point where nature
intended it should be, and of course
they can but view any such enterprise
with alarm. The Kalama paper NAV
be regarded as the escape-pipe of the
railroad ring, and when it blows off,
the public may be pretty sure it is to
keep the boiler from bursting.

IHE PORTLAND tIgr - Ia another place
we publish an account from the Prt.-
land N"t"s of the terrible coi.narrq;ion
that occurred at Portland las. Saturday,
destroying twenty one blocks the lusi-
ness portion Of Tie city. Considering
the relative population, This disaster
falls more heavily upon tell community
than even the great fires east. 1t is
pleasing to note that the plan Of re-
lieve adopted when Chicago WAS laid in
ashes is not forgotten. and now Chicago
has manifested her desire to aid the
Portland sufferers, and st. Louis, San
Francisco, and other cities have done
likewise The number of buildings con-
sumed is estimated at $50. Three of
these were saw mills, one grist mill,
two iron fcund.ies, ono brass foundry,
nine hotels, two engine houses and -
stores. With these went four lumber
Yards, and quarter of q mile of wharf
age.

ANOTHER MoDoC BATTLE.-Reports from the
Modoe country, last week, contained news OF
another battle, in which the United States forces
were surprised and defeated, with great loss.
They had forty killed and wounded. Among the
killed, was Q son of Adjutant-General Thomas.
Bat very few Modocs were killed. The bodies Of
the soldiers who were killed, were horribly mu-
tilated and dis6gured. This will be the result,
- long Is the attempt is persisted in of fighting
the Modocs according to Hardce's Tactics 1t
wants men who can meet them on their own
ground, and at their own game Perhaps the
murder of high officers and high oficers' sons,
will tend to hurry up the Government suthori-
tics in the right direction.

The LAST HoRRoR.-The horror for this week
comes from Dixon, Illinois. On Sunday, per-
son was to be baptised in Rock River, and
m immense concourse of people had assembled.
The bridge crossing Rock River was % crowded
with people, that one section gave way. prccipi-
tating over hundred persons into the water.
At least Is persons were killed or drowned, and
over 30 wounded, some of them fatally. The iron
network Of the bridge, falling on top Of many of
the psrsons thrown into the water, held them
TO the bottom, beyond the power Of aid. large
majority cf the drowned were women.
