has been permitted to peruse a let:el
from Judge Lewis of this city to a gen
tlsman in that, from which the editor
took the liberty Of making tho extracts
following:
1--WE have organized with the intent
to build tho road to Walla Walla. VIZ
have not canvassed our people thor.
oughly as yet, but intend to do so soon
We put corps Of engineers on yester.
day and will make careful survey to
Cedar river, and as soon as the snow
will permit will have engineers in the
Snoqualmie Pass and will at once have
profile made with estimates of the first
twenty miles. We will not come up t.
! Walla Walla until We hav, had sur reg
and approximate estimate Of cost to the
summit.
OF course We do not expect 70 he able
to build the road-we are not able-but
We will all help. do not favor coming
to your city until We have 81 1000 sub
scribed by our citizens and know what
We are about. We will then come with
the expectation that your people vii
help US literally. We will no: ask yor
| to spend your money over here; We viii
| grade to the summit and expect you
people to help us beyond.
| Walla Walla has as much interest in
this road a. Seattle. You are richer
than We are and we shall expect you
earnest aid. Without it We can do no
thing: but with it a road can and vii
be built. You will never be Independent
without you get this road.
