The proposed railroad from Corvallis
to Yaquina Bay, in Oregon, will soon
be an accomplished fact. The road
between these two points will be 81
miles long, standard gauge, laid with
steel rails. The road will have three
tunnels, the longest $50 feet, and the
heaviest grade will be about 100 feet to
the mile. Three steamers have sailed
already from Cardiff, with 5000 tons of
rails for this road. Contracts for all
the ties have been let, to be delivered
Dec. 1st, and the line is under cont act
to be completed this year. Next sea-
son it will be continued eastward to a
connection with the Central Pacific
Railroad in Nevada.

The statement of Territorial Auditor
Reed, for the quarter ending June 80,
1881, is gratifying. He reports $780,
S67.35 in cash on hand at the end of
the quarter after paying all bills pre-
sented and allowed, or nearly enough
to meet every ordinary demand for
the remainder of the year, without re-
lance upon dollar of revenue during
that time. And this, let it be ren'em-
bered, has been the condition of our
Territorial finances during the past
year and half, sustained as they are
by tax of only three mills on the
dollar.

cast in Portland, with the name of d.
P. Thompson for Mayor. Some one
who wanted to scratch the name of
Thompson wrote the name of Joseph
Simon on the ticket, and omitted to
scratch off the other. and the ticket
went into the box with two names for
Mayor upon it. That ticket would
have elected Simon if the scratching
had been done. Thompson claim the
ticket is not valid, and holds that his
successor has not been elected. The
matter was referred to Chief Justice

he declined to consider it, aud II goes

The San Francisco paper profess To
believe that the efforts of Hurry VII
lard and his co-workers in trying to
build up Portland as the great city Of
the northwest is a mistake, and that
such city will be created on Puget
Sound instead. They base their belief
on the dangers OF navigating the Co
iumbia river and the distance Of Port
land inland from the sea. They for
get, however, fact that il beginning
to loom up for the future. that there
are resources sufficient and commerce
rapidly growing, that will make two
great cities on this northwest coast TO
compete for share of the prosperity
that San Francisco so long alone pos
sessed. The intense energy and the
ample capital of Portland cannot be
snuffe6 out by the jealousies Of San
Francisco or Puget Sound; neithercan
the immense resources Of Washington
Territory, in grain, lumber, iron and
coal, with the deep still waters Of Pu-
get Sound as their best outlet to the
world be hid like light under meas
ure. Capital constantly seeks for the
most profitable employment, and the
holders Of 1t are beginning to realize
that there is an almost unoccupiei
field for 1t In Oregon and Washington.
San Francisco might do better in look
ing after her own future than In try
Ing to belittle country which Is rap
idly rising beyond her control, and
which can no longer be put out Of the
sight Of capital aud commerce other
than her own.
