lark BUT NOT HoPELEss.-Gen.H Haz-
ard Stevens, the President Of the Rail
road Union, in an address to the people
of Olympia, draws the following gloomy
picture of the prospects OF their town
without railroad:
"Olympia feels her impending decay.
The trade of Lewis county is lost. The
grist-mills of Tumwater stand idle, for
the grain. of the Chehalis, which once
fed them, now flows to Portland. Mails,
passengers and freight for all points
north of Budd's Inlet, now passes thro'
Tacoma. and Olympia is cut off from
the main highway of travel. The
Capitol and Public Offices will assuredly
seek more accessible point, and with
them she loses half her population, and
can no longer furnish market for the
products of the surrounding counsry.
Is this picture overdrawn? Ask the first
stranger, and he will tell you that it
portrays the inevitable"
This picture is not whit too darkly
colored if the people of Olympia fail to
improve their opportunities; but all the
dark features may be readily dispelled
by judicious and energetic use of the
means within their control. What but
its superior natural advantages ever gave
Olympia its preponderance over Tacoma
and Steilacoom?-it was the head of
navigation on Puget Sound, and the
nearest port for the shortest route from
the Columbia river. The same compara-
tive artificial advantages may be main
tanned by expending on railroad con-
nection but a small portion of the
amount of depreciation OF properly val
ues without it. If the present populas
ton of that beautiful and heretofore
prosperous town have not the energy
and enterprise to save themselves from
decay and dissolution by dry rot, it is
time for them to die. No people have
any business to live after they bave
outlived their usefulness.
