to the Pacific, and especially so until
the through navigation of the Column
bia and Snake rivers to tide water
shall become open and free to all by
the bursting of the great barriers at
the Cascades and The Dalles. AS be-
tween the rivals of the Columbia river
railroad and the Cascade mountain
division to the Sound, give US the
mountain division every time, both for
speed, safety and expense. But with
both Of these under the most favorable
auspices, we cannot foresee why the
Northern Pacific eastward to New
York, with a narrow CIR standard
gauge road through the sections we
have named to connect with the North
crn Pacific will not discount both of
the others i'll advantages to our people,
and the matter is worthy cf serious
consideration by all capitalists who are
looking Cor investment in railroad
building. Wheat is now carried from
Omaha to New York, 1900 miles for
S. per ton with profit to the carrier
by rail, and it certainly can be carried
from here to New York, by rail, for
$40 per ton, a distance only 5000
miles, with profit, while we have to
pay So per ton from here to Portland,
1870 miles this side of the ocean, and
only a distance of anout 325 miles, and
there surely is no earthly reason why
we should receive our imports from
New York via Union and Central Pa
cifc roads thence by ocean steamer to
Portland and 10y rail and river steamer
up stream and back east, 800 miles at
cost of $50 and $40 per ton from
Portland alone. The Northern Pacific
completed eastward, must work an i'm
portant revolution in the commerce of
this section, notwithstanding it's route
was projected too far north of the di-
rect,on it should have taken, both as
matter Of profit to the company and a
convenience to the people and the
means of the speediest transit across
the continent. But taking things as
they have been projected we candidIy
suggest to capitalists and Others the
consideration of narr)w guage road
from Camas Prairie to intersect the
Northern Pacific at or near Cheney or
the crossing Of Hangman creek.
Think of the suggestion.

will find their pecuniary such that
they can become freed from all the fet-
tiers and shackles of party and faction,
and boldly assert what reason, obser-
walton and good judgement may track
them as the truth and pertinent to
the occasion and times, without any
discoloring or distortion caused by in
tcrest Of blind prejudice Of any one.
When this day arrives, we will have
a newspaper press that the people can
rely upon, and we will have purer
standard of thought and action among
the people in relation to every ques-
ton Of public policy and importance.
The partizan press Of the country have
done all in their power to pull down
and destroy every Independent journal
Of the country, and the efforts have
been backed up by the money and in
Auonce of partizan men and factional
interest, and these crushing efforts
have often succeeded. But we opine
that the brightest day for the indie
pendant press is yet to dawn, for the
great mass of the people who read are
becoming Disguised with the doubtful
and uncertain winds that blow from
the partizan and faciional journals of
the country, and crave truthful, manly,
out-spoken aud Independent teachers
of the puoc mind. We could cite in
starces where an independent press
has gained great prcstase and power
and have become towers in the land
although assailed from every quarter
by the trucking sycophantic editors
and writers who have apparently Meth
err the means nor the moral stamina to
assert and maintain their own indie
pendence as journalists. Let bright
err day dawn in journalism and we may
soon hope to witness much more
healthy condition of the great body
polite and purer condition of all
that makes great, prosperous and
happy people.

EDITORIAL RRESPONDENCE

CoTToNwoop, I. T. June % 1881. |
Arrived here at $50 last evening.
Team walked slow, it being warm. In
passing the fields of grain between
Lewiston and Sweetwater we can but
anticipate heavy crop unless the grass
hoppers should suddenly thrive to i'm
portance. We saw many, but they
were small and are not Of the species
that injured the crops last year,
There is plenty of green grass for them
to thrive upon till long after the har-
vesting of the Winter grain. We saw
none in the grain at any place along
near the road. We noticed several
fields of barley that promises well.
Between Sweetwater and Whites we
saw thousands of crickets of various
sizes, but they too have enough of grass
without molesting grain. The grade
from Whites up the mountain is very
rocky, the rains having washed off all
the earth that had been placed upon it
last year. We noticed one great i'm
provementat crossing of numerous mud
holes. The road commissioners have
constructed many bridges and that they
are now mostly iii good repair. These
are great convenience to travellers.
All verdure along on Craig's mountain
was very thrifty and band of sheep
we saw n the Mason prairie seemed
to be rolling fat. Arriving at this
place was very much fatigued and
sore from the ride. But mine host,
Mr.. Miller, made everything comfort
able, gave US good supper and good
clean bed and we feel much refreshed
this morn. This hotel is new commo
dious and clean and much better &C
commodations are found here than at
any former time we have stopped here
We hope to reach Mt Idaho at 8 A. NJ
to-day. L

A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT.

This is all age Of railroads and if
they can be kept in subsection to the
interests Of the whole people they can
be made and will become of great ser
vice to the people and profitable to
their projectors and builders. The
government has lent its aid to such
roads to large extent and Justly so,
i'll view Of the great advantages there
could be made to confer upon the peo
pie in remote sections of the country
where the products Of the country
could not be utilized to profit without
them. 1t has only recently become
known to, and believed by capitalists
that the belt of country between the
Cascades and Bitter Root mountains,
offered any strong inducements for in
vestment in railroad building. But
just at the present there seems to lie
almost mania upon this question, and
the region ed has received The per
sonal visitations Of scores of cas- tern
capitalists to become convinced that
what had been told them was in any
manner true, and these visitations have
in almost every case resulted in the
conviction that this section of country
offered great inducements for railroad
building, and large and wealthy CON-
peting companies have been organized
to commence and progress the work.
AS we have before said, the cream of
the whole belt between the Cascades
and Bitter Root lies between the 46
and AZ parallels of latitude and the
ll6 and lis meridians of longitude
and embraces Camas Prairie, including
the Nez Perce reservation, which
should be abandoned so soon as the
Indians can BIZ segregated upon indi-
vidual farms of their own, the Waha
and Assotin and Pataha sections; the
Genesee and Potlatch sections; the
Uniontlat and Thorn Greek sections
the North and South Palouse sections;
the Cedar and Pine Greek sections
the Hangman and upper Rock Greek
sections, extending nearly to the brink
of the declivity which descends to the
Spokane river and plains, and to the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad
| Northward from Camas Prairie TO the
said road there are no insurmountahle
obstacles to a continuous railroad ex
tending along in near proximity to the
boundary line between Idaho and
Washington, and no serious or difficult
impediment to the construction, in
matter of grades, save the crossing d
the canyon of the Clearwater (aad thi;
is by no means insurmountable) ano
in our opinion along this proposed
route o railroad of $50 miles in length
will pass through more rich country
and having more natural advantages
for dense settlement than any Other
$50 miles of road west of the Rocky
mountains, and when the Northern
Pacific is completed eastward, this new
~ suggested road will enable all the
sections traveresed by it, to do all thei'
business of expectations eastward te
Chicago and New York and Liverpool
at a much quicker and cheaper rate
than can be achieved by going wes'

front of the warehouse, with the exception Oh
the first floor was used for flats, and among the oc-
cupants of these fats there was much hurrylne 10
and fro, and much distress. Many OF them hasteneu
to get out such of their property as they could
move. But their alarm premature. Inc nre-
men succeeded in saving that part of the bmiding'
The part destroyed fronted on Thirty-secondst, ex
tending far down the block. and also far In toward
Thirty-frst-st panic was caused among the oc-
cupants of the houses the north side OF Ihirty-
rstst by the progress of the fire in the warehouse.
Their alarm was not without good reason for IL the
south wall of the warehouse had fallen httle
earlier than it did fall and before the remen hsa
been able to control the flames to some extent ID that
quarter many of the houses in Thlrty-hrs-st' musC
have been consumed Without waiting for tho wan
to tumble the occupants of the buildings winch
were in danger made a hasty exodus Win such Oh
their household goods they could take with them
1t was a scene of dsmay and terror IN that street.
Fortunately, the wind went down just when the
peril was greatest. With stronger WIND the CITY
would have lost at least two entire blocks ana the
cOnhagration might have taken much wider sweep
But it was bad enough. One whole block was
mass of fiery ruin The great storage warehouse
which took up large part of another block with It's
treasures the value of which must have much ex-
ceeded million dollars, was prey to
the flames On one side of the street were
the charred remains of horses. burned
fragments of cars worthless heaps of railroad ma
terial. great masses of burned hay and grain. On
the other side Mr.. Vanderblts $4,000 picture,
other costly paintings elegant furniture and house
hold fittings in profusion had been destroyed. Two
immense buildings which it will take long time 10
replace, had been consumed.
At midnight the fire still fascinated thousands OF
people who passed rs ne ar it as the police would
permit. The walls of the railroad building had
fallen with the exception of the iron front In
Fourth-ave, which was still standing Flames were
rising from the immense masses of wreckage OF
all kinds contained in the space formerly en-
closed by the walls. The frernen were still
toiling to prevent further destruction
in the lower block as Il ruins oi
the warehouse were still sending up huge volumes
of flame and smoke. Within the police lines, in
front of the Park Avenue Hotel, were the principal
police and fire officials of the city, many
prominent politicians and well-known citizens.
They were talking about the heavy losses OF the
insurance companies and other topics suggested by
the great destruction of property. A towering sec
ton of the wall of the MOrrell warehouse from
which the rest had crumbled away was
trembling to its fall. The throb and
thunder of the engines still filed the
air. the streets were flowing with water from the
hose, the weary fremen dashed to and fro,
and the work of fighting the flames still
went steadily on, while outside the police
lines thousands of people were watching eagerly
