The cost of machinery will nat exceed sl2O0

to become he live town OF the n p railroad
for the next two years at least. Large
amount OF freight for Cheney and Spokane
Falls arc continually arriving as well as
much for other points A landing is being
made at Priest Rapids. which will supply
freight at thar point for Colville and other
adjacent places; this will have the double
effect of greatly shortening the distance and
reducing the cost OF freight. Iron and ties
arrive every second and third ,lay. The
rear drive of logs and ties will be in from
the Yakima in about 10 days Aipsworth
is the Ere town of the interior and averages
from 5 to 20 fights daily. No Walla Walia
papers or letters have arrived at this point
for a woek past. As this is destine'; to be
and is very lmparisnt point a daily man
has become an absolute necessity. Our citi

From THE UPPER CoLuMBIa.-Capt Ping
ston, who has the past winter been away up
into the Upper Columbia country on a tour
of inspection and observation for the o. r.
n. Co, has returned to this city eH route
for Portland to render an account Of what
he has seen. Whatever the result Of the trip
may be We cannot know until he delivers his
report; but Judging from our own personal
knowledge Of that section We should fancy
that some system Of transportation would
have tremendous effect in encouraging eml-
rrati,n TO the vast and fertile country which
exists there, but which is now destitute of
settlers by reason that there Is no outlet for
the vast crops which experience has proved
can be raised. 1t is very possible that
if Captain Pingston's report IS favorable
that something in the way We have suggested
will ere long be carried out. Speed the day.

The New FREIGHT TaRIFF.-All freight
carried by the O. r. L N. Co. will, on and
after March Goth. be governed by the new
tariff. This tariff clAssi6es all freight as
first, second, third and fourth class, with
muitiples or fractions OF class. All freight
is now charged for by weight instead of, as
formerly, by measurement, taking as the ton
weight-2OOO pounds. The charges on up
freight from Portland to Walla Walla will
then be lst class, 81 20, per 100 pounds; ID
class, 81 80 per 100 pounds; 81 and 4th
classes 81 25 and 81 l2, respectively, per
100 pounds with no wharfage chAges Its
impossible to go into the particulars of the
classification, as all varieties Of goads are
therein catalogued and referred to their pro-
per class number, but We can sum the whole
briefly by saying that the reduction in
freight rates, thought not large in any par
ticular item, is very general, and should en-
able the merchants to reduce orices materi-
ally. A lowering Of the cost Of the necessa.
ries of life will be Of great assistance to a
community struggling under the burden Of
a bad wheat year, and with the reduction on
down river wheat, amounting to 6 cents per
bushel, the farmers should be able to take
heart and hope for better season next time.

Conklins Defeated.

The United States Senate was
convened in extra session the 4th
day of March last, for the purpose
of acting upon Executive nomlna'
tions. Among the appointments
made by the President was that Of
State Senator Robertson as Collec-
tor of Customs at New York. This
appointment was very displeasing
to Senator Conkling; he thought
the President should have consult
ed his wishes on the subject. Dur
ing the seven weeks Of the 'sdead.
lock" in the Senate Conkling work
ed hard to secure a sufficient num-
Der of votes to reject the nomina-
ton. The fight between Conkling
and the administration was a very
bitter one, continuing through
March, April and May. But the
administration won; Robertson
was confirmed. Senator Conkling
thereupon resigned his seat ; Sena-
| tor Platt did likewise, and they then
appealed to the New York Legisla-
ture to vindicate their course by
re.electing them. The contest in
the Legislature began June 1st.
The Republican members divided
into two factions, one supporting
Conkling, the other the administra-
ton; the Democrats voted for
candidates of their Own. Conkling
and Platt held their own very well
until the latter was detected in a
scandal at the hotel one night, two
weeks ago. The next day he with
drew from the race, and the ''stal'
warts" put up Crowley in his place.
By this time the administration
Republicans, or half breeds, as
they are called, had settled down
! upon Warner Miller for Platt's
place and E. G. Lapham for Conk-
ling's. Miller was elected the 18th,
and Lapham the 22nd.

Rail Road Meeting.

MEssRs. EDITORS Please publish
the followiug:
At the solicitation of the citizens
in the neighborhood of Holly's Ferry,
meeting was held on the 22nd inst,
to consider the praeticability of the
contemplated railroad to extend from
Prosperity and connect with the South
Carolina Rail Road at or near Black
Vile. Ou motion, Mr.. D. D. Holly
was called to the chair, and Jas. G..
Banks to act as Secretary.
On motion of J. II. Boozer, the
Chairman appointed committee Of
seven to confer with and take part in
the mass meeting On the 9th at
Leesvillc, consisting of Hous. George
Johnstone and j. A. Sligh and J. H.
Boozer, J. H. Long, S. W. Wessirger,
J. C. Banks and D. D. Holly.
J. H. Boozer addressed the meet
ing in favor of Rail Roads, urging
that the people could and should build
this road, and that every one should
lay hold with all his power and the
burden would not be heavy. 1t would
build up the waste places, enhance the
value of our property to a great ex-
tent; and by building this road it
would open up the great water power
of the big Saluda which will beat all
the water power of Massachusetts,,
that great manufacturing State, be-
sides the other water power that will
be brought in use by this road. 1t
would cause capitalists to lay hold Ct
this great water power and utilize it
by building factories that would not
be surpassed by any in this State. 1t
would cause immigration to come, as
We have not half enough people; the
more people the more business and
the greater the prosperity of the coun-
try. There are several never failing
streams lying South of Saluds which
this road would cross This road
would be Of many advantages; more
than I have time to discuss at present
On motion of S. ". Wessinger, the
proceedings Of this meeting are to be
published 10 the Lexington Dispatch.

all the short lines, aud I'll the dis
jecta memtra OF lines that ought to
be consolidated and are not, show
far less reduction in the charge for
their service, and little OF no profit
to the corporations that own them,
where their profits depend in any
degree on share of the freight
brought from long distances" He
thinks that reduction of at least
one-half is sure to he brought about
on Southern and Southwestern
railroads within the next ten years.
We would like to continue the
notice of this article by Mr.. Atkin-
son, but have not room; we may
resume it at some future day.
The subject of railroads is q very
important one, and deserves to be
closely studied. People should not
be too ready to take up the cry
against railroad combinations and
syndicates. If these combinations
have reduced freight, and thereby
reduced the prices of articles OF
consumption, as the figures show
they have done, why then all this
''anti.monopoly" talk is nonsense,
political clap.trap, communism, or
something Of the sort. This much
is certain these large railroad
combinations are bnilding up the
South as nothing else is, they are
extending their lines, buying up
the broken down concerns and put
ting them in good order, and IN
various other ways they are putting
capital and new life and energy
into the Southern country.

The Normal Institute.

The State Normal Institute, men
ton of which has been made in
these columns several times, will be
held in Greenville from August End
to August 26th. We would urge
upon all teachers the Importance of
attending this institute, where they
will learn some of the best methods
of teaching. No opportunity should
be lost by the teacher for making
himself more efficient in his profess
sion and work; and this Institute
will prove of incalculable advantage
to him. The teachers will not only
profit by their attendance on the
Institute, but they will find that a
month spent in the "Mountain City"
during their summer vacation will
prove a pleasant recreation. Board
can be obtained by those attending
the Institute for from S5 to ST per
week al the hotels, or from So to
$3.50 at private houses. To per-
sons attending the Institute tickets
will be sold over the Columbia &
Greenville R. r. at the following
rates; Full fare going, and 2 cents
per mile returning.
