WE WANT A RAILROAD.

Almost the first question propounded by
the new conner is, ..lyhy don't you build a
railroad from some point in the State to
some point OH tile Central Pacific ?'' And
then they us what we know all the
time, if you had a railroad connecting the
Central Pacific, so that people could reach
Oregon without the ocean part of the trip,
your State would fill up with desirable
population almost before You knew it.
They would flock to Oregon by tens of
thousands; every train would be loaded,
AND soon. instead of a paltry hundred thou
sand, Oregon would contain half million
of people. Thousands of people are detcrr-
ed from coming to Oregon through dread
of tEe six hundred miles of ocean voyage.
Every effort should be put forth to build a
railroad connecting us with the populous
East. The effect of such an enterprise
would indeed be magical; few have an ade-
duate idea of the wealth that would flow
into Oregon in one uninterrupted stream,
opening Vp Mt once oUF vast resources, and
peopling our valleys and daIes with an en-
terprising and happy people. Without
railroad our progress will be slow, the
cream of the emigration remaining in Cal
ifornia rather than trust themselves to the
dangers and Inconvenience of the ocean
voyage. Build the RAILROAD and in a few
years at most Albany would be vast and
wealthy city, If not the first, the second
city in population and wealth on the North
ern Pacific. Let us have the railroad.

DaDN.r ne ALARMED.

Our Democratic contemporaries have,
thus early in the season, commenced the
cry Of corruption, corruption - "A
good rosind sum of corruption money is on
its way hero from Washington. say the
Democratic journals; tsbeware! beware -
Ben Holladay still troubles these poor ink
singers dreams, while the announcement
that ex-senator Williams is to visit Oregon
soon, throws the whole sskit and bilin' -
into spasnls. This charge that's a corruption
fund Is on its way from Washington, to be
expended among Democrats for the benefit
of Republicans, is the same old charge that
has been wTung in our ears on the eve of ey-
cry election for the last decade, the idea
seeming to be that by its continued iteration
they might perhaps be able to convince
themselves that there was some truth in it.
We predict, however, that no matter how
much, or how loud and long continued, the
cry of corruption from Democratic
sources, not a dollar will our Democratic
friends succeed in obtaining from or through
Republican channels during the coming
campaign, to induce them to join the Re
publican party, the great party of progress,
the party that sustained and saved the
Union. The Republican party has large
majority in the State Of Oregon, and there
is no call for purchasing any of these
poor devils who seem so anxious and ex-
press so much alarm; therefore we advise
them to alay their fears, look elsewhere tor
stamps to secure whisky and other Demo
cratic Iuxuries with which to sustain tlieir
shattered nerves during the coming fight.

During tile ''grasshopper' year, the pop
ulatiun of Nebraska increased so, 800, while
Oregon, thar year, only added to her popu-
lation by emigration about 5000. Had
there been continuous line of railroad con-
Meeting Oregon with the East, the tables
would have been turned, and Oregon would
have added to her population So 600 people.
We can have the railroad just as soon as
our people wake up to fun realization of
the facts in the case. Oregon must build
the road. 1t is useless to wait expecting
outside capitalists to build the road-they
can employ their money for years to come
in other and better paying enterprises. If
the road is to be built, it must be done by
the combined efforts of our people-eyery
man in the State must help.

SPRING FASHIONS.

WITH the mltd days about the first
OF February, the counters show light
cambrics aud wool goods, for prudent
people who take time by the forelock
in matters of dress, They must do so,
for in these days it takes, by moderate
computation, two weeks for woman
working all the time TO make dress.
This is The allowance by the most skill
full dresslnakers, and it not seldom
takes that time to do the trimmings
alone. For the comfort of ladies who
do their own work, am happy to say
that the old style of dress, with long
plain skirt and waist attached to it,
will be worn the coming spring. Such
models are on display in the windows
as leading styles. The prettiest fabric
out, is a fine check in black and white,
crossed by single bright color, which
gives it fresh spring like look, while
it is quite modest enough for the street.
As it comes in soft wool goods, plain
woven, both light and durable, and
very wide, it will be a favorite with
ladies, as it is sure TO be with men be-
cause it is so bright and pretty.

ing-stones. Winslow ran away from
Boston with $3.50, 900 OF other peoples
money, Babbitt's cashier steals $780,
600, and now young banker absconds
with all his customers money. This
last case is little peculiar. The young
man squandered it all upon a woman,
but who do you suppose that woman
was? Why his own mother. She is a
very handsome widow, forty, who has
a passion for fashionable life. The
young man, her son, is weak, good
fellow, who loves his mother-as very
few sons do, and can refuse her nothing.
When he went into business for himself,
she emerged from the humble boarding
house where they had lived, and took
elegant house uptown, and commenced
living in tie style of wealthy people.
She set up . carriage, = she had the
house full of servants, = she gave ele-
giant entertainments, she bought dia-
monds, and camel's hair sllawls, and,
in short, size lived at rate that made
all her old friends turn green with envy.
Tie son, ali this time was furnishing
her with the means for all this extrava-
gance, knowing that the eild was ruin,
but his mother liked it and he was too
weak to say no. She probably knew
that she was living beyond his means,
but the madness was on her, and she
could net stop. The end camc last
week. The young man and his mother
sailed for Rotterdam, taking with them
every dollar that was in the concern and
all that could be borrowed, begged or
stolen. 1t is supposed that the abscond-
ing, like all the rest of It, was the in
spiration OF the mother. for all who
know the young man believe him to be
honest, il left to himself. The loss to
depositors viii foot up 5000 900. and
there is as much more owing on notes
on the street. This vast sum Of monev
has been spent within five years, and
that i was spent there can be no
doa Tor as near as can be ascertain.
