A Long Canoe Voyage.

Last November Capt. AL Pingston,
one of the pilots Of the Columbia and
Snake rivers, the man who piloted the
steamer "49" on the Columbia above
Kettle Falls, went up to Fort Colville
with the intention of coming down the
Columbia to Wallula, for the purpose
of ascertaining the practicabili'y of
running steamboats, above Prizes Rap
ids. On the 2Sth of February Capt.
Pingstone, accompanied by two 1ndi-
ans, started on hi voyage in birch
bark canp. They started from the
foot Of Kettle Falls and found no Oh
struction to steamboat navigation un-
til they reached the mouth of the Spo-
kan river, where there are rapids that
Captain Pingstone believes can be ov-
er:ome without difficulty, by clearing
out the channel. The next obstruc-
ton was q short distance above the
Okinakane river, where a portage of
from seven to twelve miles will have
to be made. From this point to Rock
Island or Island Rapids, there are no
obstruction to navigation. At Island
Rapids three or four mile portage
will have to be made From Priest
Rapids to Airsworth there is
broad, deep river, The distance be-
tween Kettle Falls and Ainsworth is
about 430 miles, and Capt. Pingstone
and his companions made it in nine
days ard half. The river general
ly has low banks much like its banks
below lila, while occasionally
the bluffs come down to the waters
edge forming deep canyons. A short
distance above the mouth of Okinakane
the banks of the river are solid basalt
several hundred feet in height, through
which the river rushes with great
rapidly. Capt. Pngstone found
the country covered with snow from
Kettle Falls to below Priest Rapids.
The snow was between two and three
feet deep, with crust on most of it
that would bear his weight. Capt
Pingstone has gone to Portland to re-
port to the O. r. 4 N. Co. There is
large amount of agricultural land in
the region known as the big bend Of
the Columbia which would be opened
to settlement by putting boats on the
river obove Priest Rapids. Another
valuable region is north of the Colurn-
bia and east of the Okinakane. Col
vile valley, rich agricultural region,
which is very sparsely settled at pres
ent, would be furnished an outlet and
market by line of steamboats, be-
tween Ainsworth and Kettle Falls.
There are many inducements for open
ing the navigation of the Columbia
at Ainsworth. --Mountdineer.

The RArLRoAD.--By late surveys
the distance bet ween The Dalles and
Portland on the line of the rev rail
road is materially lessened. Three tun-
nels have been found to be unnecessa-
ry, and the time and labor of complet-
ing the road thereby reduced consider
ably. 1t is now probable that the road
will be almost entirely finished within
a year from the present time. Gangs
of workmen are continually passing
through the city on the road to their
stations and work is being vigorously
prosecuted. Every man that can be
found who is willing to work is press
ed into the service.
The progress of the tracklaying be-
tween here and Walia Walla has been
90 rapid during the past week or two
that we may state with certainty that
through communicates will be estab-
lished between here and the upper
country within two weeks. This will
please everybody, and we now expect
to have no more trouble with our pas
senger and mail communication from
this city to Spokan or Walla Walla.

RIGHT OF WAy.-The right of way
committee made the trip to the mouth
of Union Flat last week and received
deeds from all but two of the settlers,
(whom they were unable to findD. In
order to obtain the deeds the commit
tee told the settlers that they would
do all in their power to secure forthem
the first privilege of purchasing such
railroad lands as they had fled on adj
joining their respective places, but as
it is generally understood the Oregon
Improvement Company will extend no
preference to these parties, the COM
mittee still retain che deeds end refuse
to turn them over till the matter is
arranged to the satisfaction of the set.

body was discovered floating down
the river, which from the descrip-
ton, size, color OF hair &C., is sup
pose TO be that of Mr.. Gilbertson,
No attempt was made TO secure il.
Mr. GIlbertson was sober, indus
trious and upright man, and a good
mechanic; and during the short
time he had been here had made
favorable impressions on all with
whom he came in contact.
The Grst cotton blooms we
have seen this season, were brought
in last Wednesday morning, by Mr..
+. B. Hale, raised on the Wither-
spoon place by Mr. ]. N. Hays. One
bloom, which had turned red, was
supposed to have been open on last
Monday. but allowing that it was
open only the day before, Tuesday,
the l4th., this is two days earlier
than the first bloom last year. La
ter in the day, Mr.. w. S. Hayes, on
the Borum place, found red bios
som, and dispatched a messenger
with it in hot haste to town, but
was just 0 little too late for the
grand prize. Mr.. Hayes brought
in the first blossom last year, rails.
ed by Mr.. Lafayette Brlnkle, on
the 10th. day of June, two days
later than this year.
In moment Of rage and rcck-
lessness, superinduced by the sue.
cess OF the temperance people in
obtaining signers TO the petition
praying for the prohibition of the
sale of alcoholic liquors within three
miles of Osceola, we learn, that cer-
tain indiyiduals, who are noted
more for their irrational, dlstem-
pered and partisan speeches, rather
than for their counsels Of peace and
good order, suggested that, " mas
much as they were rifh, prohibition
would not affect them, they would
be able to send off and get their
regular allowance of liquor, but
paor people, who could not afford TO
send off, and would be deprived of
their regular iamily.trouble,"
should make free and full appli-
cation of the torch" &c. 1t should
be borno in mind that that kind of
talk is cheap, and that the people
have learned to rightly estimate its
significance. The poor people are
the class of people, who, as a gene
raj rule, have signed the petitions
for their own self-protectlon; and
when the rich counsel fire as a
means of retaliation, they should
remember that that 10 q cheap ele-
ment or commodity, and mono are
so poor but what they can supply
themselves with q full stock of it,
when 1t would be equal ly.danger-
ous to the rich man, with the odds
greatly in favor of the poor man.
The people are too wise to heed
such suicidal counsels. 1t will do
no good to kick. The people, who
are the soveIeigns of the land, and
from the majority of whom all pow
er is derived, have declared by their
vote that the monster, alcohol,
must go, and go it shall. If those
who have grown rich and iattened
upon the misfortunes and diseased
appetitcs of their weaker brothers,
cannot turn their horded riches into
other Legitimate channels Of trade
or enterprlse-more honorable, if
not, percbance, so lucratiye-then
the soil, which is ever generous aud
bountiful in its gifts, Inyites their
labors.
