tribution of lands and money
from our citizens would certain

IrOlu our clLlZe00 WOulO c0ftSlll-
ly secure it. In that view the
line of the road was surveyed
and located from Kalama to Sc
attic, running several miles from
Tacoma, and thousands of dol
lars " ere expended in work on
the road this side Of where its
course was changed towards Ia
coma. In the mean time the
land, then dense forest upon u
high bluff, passed into the hands
of the Pennsylvania "Town Site
Company" under the control of
Jay Cook. Mr.. Cook then de-
manded the location of the ter
minus at that point AZ the only
condition upon which he could
furnish the company any more
money for the prosecution of the
work. 1t was represented that
Immediately after the location of
the terminus the Town Site Co.
could undoubtedly sell two or
three millions of dollars Of its
stock in the Eastern market,
which would relieve Mr.. Cook
cmbarrassments and save him
from bankruptcy, after which
the road might be extended to
Seattle, under contributions from
the citizens OF this place, leaving
the purchasers of the Tacoma
stock in the larch.
After this scheme had been
agreed to and settled upon, the
Company sent out Commission
ers-Messrs. Rice and Ainsworth
-ostensibly authorized to re-
celve bids from the several towns
competing for the location of the
terminus, but really to convey
the impression abroad that the
place was selected in the interest
of the Company, and for the fur
ther purpose of levying contrl-
buttons upon the owners of pro-
perty adjacent to the town site,
which was done effectually, and
Injured exclusively to the benefit
of individual members of the
ring.
Neither time nor space will
permit us to detail all the crook
edness of the managers of the
N. P. Railroad; we have given
facts sufficient to prove their ut
ter faithlessness to their public
obligations. If the time is ex-
tended in accordance with the
suggestions and recommenda-
tion of the Oregonian, we venture
the prediction that Portland will
never have a railroad by means
of that Company. Work will
begin at the head of navigation
on the Columbia river next
spring, and also in Dakota Ter
ritery," and tn ere it will end
With the monopoly Of the navi-
CATION of the Columbia river, tn e
0. S. n. Co. will be to the Rail-
road managers what the land
rings have heretofore been-the
object to which all public inter
ests and obligations will be sac
rifced. If Portland or Seattle
ever get a railroad, it will not
be by promoting the speculative
schemes of the managers of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. In
view Of the past, it would be
criminal folly to trust to their
promises or pledges, We are
entirely willing that the time
should be extended on their
grant from the head of naviga-
ton on the Columbia eastward,
but we do protest most earnestly
against being put under bondage
for eight or ten years more to a
heartless, soulless corporation
which has heretofore used all it's
power to crush the enterprise Of
the people.
