road, while If they build through q
|ssate',hey only have twenty mile limit,
and the haste to build now is probably
accelerated by the prospect that Wash
ington will become state before they
build, If they make further delay,
which would deprive them of one half
Of their forty mile limit for their lands.
With these incentives to early con
structicn there is pretty strong guar,
hnty that the whole north side of the
Columbia will have q road at as e-rly
> day as practicable, and further thai
the influence Of that company will be
thrown against tho admission Of
Washington as . state till the road
down the Columbia is completed to
Kalama. Their interests demand
this because they get twice the amount
Of land il Washington remains a ter
|ritory till their road is completed
Through to the Sound. But it seems
that they now intend to build down
the river before they build the branch
across tho Cascade mountains. The
Oregon Improvement company now
have the control Of the Walla Walla
and Seattle road, and they too are but
= part of the o. R. Il N Company
and they are not likely to build al
present across the Cascades. And the
chances are thus enhanced that an
other company will be sure to build
from some point on the Utah North
srn across the head OF the Bitter ROOF
valley, over the Bitter Root noun
tains, down the Clearwater and Snake
rivers, and thence through one of tn,
passes, across the Cascade mountains
to the Sound and have . shorter ant
better route than any Of the others
aud when built it will command more
business from the country above Wal
lula than both the other roads com
bined. From the signs OF the times
the prospect for extensive and rapid
railroad building through over these
routes was never more promising than
the present, and before We are aware
of the fact and are prepared to reap
the benefits Of the building Of these
roads, the workmen and material
will be in our midst. So let Lewis
ton wake up to the situation.

FROM MOSCOW.
MOSCOW Sept. 20. 1881.


EDITOR misunderstanding to our
way of thinking, such meters and
things as concern Moscow ought to he
|of interest to the balance of mankind,
and 30, to do our duty, we must needs
let them know of what we do and how
I'VE do it. And right here remark
would he in order to the effect that the
TELLER is a first class medium to SCI
cure such desirat lie result, but if we
were to make it so, the News would
be certain to set out in its most snowy
type, that the letter was written in
Lewiston, and thus would your Scribe
be robbed of the glory and eased Of
the shame, that is his Just due. So,
Notwithstanding we we'll know that
such is the case, we dare not say it, and
the readers of the TELLER must find it
out some other way.
OF course where so many important
things are transpiring we cannot mon
ton all of them, but q few will surely
not be trespassing too much upon your
space and you patience. Like the
father of Baalam's mule, or Baalam's
father of the mule, "wan or the both
as Patrick would say, we talk, and the
chaps that say the things that are said,
have full power and lawful authority
to say them, and indeed, not a man of
them but would feel himself justified
in doubling the quantity of his fuse
of the tongue" could he get it to do.
The meaning Of the above is that in
the "wee small town." of less than 200
Inhabitants, we have 4 lawyers and 9
preachers. Verify It's only through
great tribulation that we will enter
into the kingdom, or get our legal
rights. And those that need, (or per
haps desire would no better word)
spiritual things, are not obliged to
depend altogether upon the churches
but we have two saloons that stand
ready at all times to supply this out
side demand, and even Tommy Craig
at his drug store, would, we imagine,
be willing to help occasionally, but Of
course a prescription would be an in
dispensible auxiliary in his case. When
b town is growing every man is ready
to lend a helping hand, and when it
is on the down hill track, not one but
will give at least boost to assist III
the decline. That is the way Sam
Denny acted with Moscow and Pa
louise City. We we're going ahead
and they were going backward, ant
Sam was just mean enough to clos
out his business there, not only to star
in here, but to do it on q greatly en-
larged scale, with a new saloon tina
cost $500, a new billiard table wort
$500, over $1,000 dollars in stock an
furnishings that are up to anything i
Lewiston. The praise worthy part
that he is building himself neat littl
two story dwelling, but that is full
! offset by the fact that i
J: the rear portion Of his saloon, he hi
got couple of nice little rooms, an
that unless the stories that a
told are not exactly true, he will /
the boys have quiet game of dra
}, on the sly. 1t would seem to Il

WAGON ROAD AND MAIL SER.
VICE TO GRAND RoNDE.

Mr.. Cornowyer, Of Grand Ronde
called at our Office during our absence
and left word desiring that we should
again call attention to the Importance
|of wagon road and mail service from
this city to the Grand Ronde valley
Via. Wallowa valley. We, during the
first and second year Of the TELLER,
wrote and published much in regard
to this road and mail service, and
called public meetings here in Lewis
ton upon the question, at one Of which
b committee was appointed to view out
the road from this place to the cross
ing Of Grand Ronde river, which com
mittee did their duty, and we accom-
panied them over the route, in person.
aud the committee made q favorable
report, giving an estimate of the cost
nc, and the TELLER published it in|
full. The county surveyor of Colum-|
bia county w. T., went over the route
end surveyed out the road to the Ore
hon line, and work was commenced I'M
the construction of the road. Mean
time Mr.. Pearcy visited the people Of
WalloWa' and. conferred with them
upon the subject, and they agreed to
build and open the road from that val
pcy to meet us at the Oregon line.
lust prior to this we drew up petit
ton for mali service to be placed on
The route once week, and caused it to
DO numerously signed and forwarded
10 Washington The. result Of which
was, the mail service was ordered and
contract let and service commenced,
which was afterwards increased to
three times per week, with the under
standing that If the wagon road was
opened through to Grand Roude, then o
daily service would be ordered, 90 that
hll our overland mails should come
that way instead of via. Walla Walla.
But the people failed to build the road
and the mail contractor not being able
10 build it himself, after making many
trips under difficulties, gave up The
contract, and several trips were made
afterwards by special contract, ant
still ITO road wasbuilt and then som'
one, not known to Us, made represen
cations to the department that caused
the abolishing of the service. If IN,
man thinks the TELLER ard its edito
has not urged this road and this mai
service, he is beside himself, and it
not our fault that daily mail servic

A Remarkable Revolution.

The success of the Literary Revolution
in producing Cyclopedia, the largest
ever published in this country, in large
type, well printed and bound, at the
nominal cost of SIS, seemed to the ma.
jorlty of book-buyers so remarkable, that
the second Literary Revolution, which
reduces the cost Of this most excellent
work to $40, seems almost incredible.
The facts Of the case are, however, made
so evident and 50 reasonable, that there
can be no questioning them. We have
in this Office some of the volumes which
demonstrate their superior charac ter in
every way, and the facts and figures which
are published in detail in an article else
where in this paper, under the title of "a
Second Literary Revolution" show very
clearly, though very surprisingly, how il
is possible to make such al extremely
valuabl and costly Cyclopedia accessi-
BILE TO the masses at such tritling cost.

The Virginia Democrats have adopted
platform denounclng reputation in
most unmeasured terms, and sup.
porting unequlvocally equality and free
schools. The platform is good, and would
secure many voter were 1t promulgated
by party which was ever known to fulfill
its promise when in power. With all
their professions Of state honor, the DEM
ocrats are no more DESTROYS of paying the
debt of the state than the re.adjusters.
The latter wish to meet all the obliga-
lions of the state, and propose to do so in
good time; but they do not wish to de-
stroy their public schools and impose
heavy taxes in order to satisfy the clamor
of the Wall street sharks, who hold the
bonds which they wrung from the state
when it was in the throes Of reconstruc.
ton. Those best acquainted with Vir-
ginia affairs say that the public funds are
safer in the hands of the re-adjusters.
And who can doubt it?
