THE COUNTY AID MATTER

On Friday evening the Trustees OF
the Seattle and Walla Walla Railroad
Company held meeting, and resolved
to decline the county subsidy authorized
to he voted by the last Legislature.
The ground on which The action Vas
based was the very logical one that the
proposed aid does not amount 20 any
thing was, in fact, nothing more than
nonsensical piece of burcombe, for the
reason that the Legislature rever had
the power to authorize any such aid to
begin with.
1nasmuch as an enabling Act of Con-
gress would be required before any
thing could be done of this kind, thi.
action of the Board is PROFESSIONALLY
commendable.
To another reason given by the COM
pany in q card authorized by them. we
are constrained to take exceptions, viz:
that il requires the aid given by Ger
tain counties On the casters end of the
road TO be expended in building said
end. which might prove serious draw
back. and doubtless would. unless we
have funds ample to complete the
whole line at one and the same time. -
This 10 drawback which ought not to
be considered so. even if i. were now a
serious question ct issue. II is but
right that every dollar and every dol
lars worth subscribed toward building
this road should be expended in the
county where IL 10 raised, until the road
10 completed through that county; or If
raised in counties not traversed by the
road directly. then In the nearest adja-
cent county through which it docs run.
Then Il would be proper enough for oil
to unite in making up the extra amount
that would be required to carry the
road through the mountains. The iron.
ing Of the line, of course, would natu-
rally have 10 be done from this side
on account Of maritime facilities.
Any considerations of selfish. sec.
tional policy are the last that should DO
thought of in work of this character.
Perhaps the eastern counties, with their
broad. fertile acres, abundant crops OF
grain and national banks. would be
able, in case of trial contest, 20 build
two or thrse miles of this road to one
that we on this side could construct.
so much the better; that would be Q
great help, and every practicable in.
ducement should be offered for their
cooperation.
The announcement is made that I'VE
have twenty miles of the road running,
aud intend TO use every exertion to
complete the road thus begun" This Is
ell well. but unless the people Of tha
whole Territory are made to feel that
this 10 their road. and the citizens oil
along the line are brought to engage
unitedly in the work of lite construo-
ton, it will bo likely TO take long
time to complete it.
