The Oregonian has given expression
to belief that the only remaining chance
ct getting railroad fer a long time to
come. is in urging the renewal of the
land grant Of the Northern Pacific.
This opinion is shared b. large numbers.
In certain matters Of vital interest to
Oregon it would not be difficult to alb
tain amendments. These our represen.
ta'ives W. uld insist upon. The com
pany now has IN operation $50 miles of
road. Last year its earnings exceeded
running expenses by nearly hall million
dollars. Mr.. Wright. president of the
company, had inehded to visit Oregon
early this Summer, but it vas given up
f"r the present in consequence of the
Supposition that the special session of
Congress would be called early. and it is
the intention to bring forward the bill
at the earliest possible time. Now that
the session has been postponed till Oct
It IS possible he may come this sumner.
The object is to look ut the si uation
with view to forming an opinion as to
TIE proposed route along the Columbia
river and connection with Puget Sound
