weather continues good, We may look foT
the railroad at that point about the FIRST Of
February. Some say IT vii reach there
She first Of January, but they claim
the company is laying L! miles per day
and they mad only 10 miles to lay on the
Ist Of the month. There Is most alwas-
a little d, lay, and We ;hink the tins for
reaching the Junction, OF ShoshOne City,
/. more likely 10 be the last ,han'the FIRST
Of January. This will bring the road
within 10 miles Of this pl4ca, and within
90 miles of Bellevue, the nearest town on

Heavy Taxes In View.

In VIA OF What hs, occurred IN Wsii
Walla s,thin the last three days, tbs
members OF the CITY Council are force,
70 sscept a wholly unexpected responsI
bl.ty. City property has been damages
to such an extent, that upwards OF 50
coo vii have to be expended, and that
almost Immediately. The hmi; OF the
debt of the City Charter, $4,000, has
heen reached. and necessarily, this other
needed sum Will have to be raised by the
process of 3 special tsI, as provided by
| The Charter. THIS Is an extra, and Who'll
ly unlocked for burden for the people to
bear To command thsir proportion will
not give the rich any uneasiness, but with
the nan, struggling to keep even, the adj
iiiional tax, which must be paid almost
forthwith, the matter is quite serious
one. And Just here. in the adjustment
OF this new difficulty, there IS an oppor-
;uni'y for the exercise, on the part OF the
members q; the City Council, of prrdeDcs
in the expenditure OF money which must
be drawn from the people, that We hope
Will rot be overlooked. This COuncl!
should act IN this matter, with the SAME
prudence. good Judgment, and business
probiIy they ;zke INTO their own private
All .irs The bost interests Of the whole
seop!e should be consulted. and the tax
kept At the lowest possible notch. The
people are already taxed, by special as
srssment for the maintenance of the Fire
Department, which. added to the regular
county and city tax, makes the burden
not light one by any means
We h.ys heard 1t hin'ei that one, per
haps two members If the City Council,
were in favor OF tearing away Maiu street
b'idge, now tnat 1t has been damaged
ttIfle, and substituting n new one, and
that An iuausucs would DO brought {"
bear upon the other members in
favor Of this expense. Ii there ever vas
4 time when new bridge hers vas 9 rea-
s1uahIe request, It cectsialy has ceased To
b.. ST. nov. ia the face Of this calamity,
when otEerb~idges must be huilt, sud spe-
eial tax must he levied 10 m9St the eyPsns-
rs. Not only tins, the brids7s al oser
the cauutv are either washed Away OF
damaged, and thousands of dollars must
be expended to ree!,ce and repair The
people will have this deb, TO pay, and !,
IS not uu!,A,ly that il viii increase the
