KANSAS CRY, October 5.-The
completion of the Kansas City,
Springfield aud Memphis railroad to
the latter point is attracting great at.
tention throughout the Northwest
and Southeast sections, heretofore as
much strangers TO each other as people
divided by oceans and deserts. Mr..
i, w. Towne, the General Superin-
tendent, assures me that the road will
be opened to Memphis on the 10Th, a
week from next Monday, aud regular
trains be put on by the Goth. In re-
gard TO the excursion to Memphis no
programme has been announced and it
is a difficult thing to handle. 1t is
impossible for the company to furnish
transportation TO all who want to 20.
All OF Kansas City and a majority Of
all the people in all the towns along
the road want to 20. Just how this
problem will be solved is difficult to
tell, but the most rational view is to
charge at least half price. That will
enable all to go who really want to
and shut out the hOodlums who desire
a free ride aud free lunch.
The people 10 Memphis are prepar-
ing for grand jubilee, in which they
expect a large delegation from Kansas
! City and Springfield to participate
The races will be going on in Mem.
phis that week and fine programme
including banquet TO close the fe
tiyities, is arranged for the entertain
ment OF the visitors from this city.
AS is we'll known, there is consider,
able animosity between 81. Louis ant
Memphis. Jay Goulds discrimina
tion in favor Of the former has divert
cd from Memphis a portion of tht
Arkansaw trade, which formerly can't
to her. Memphis, Mr.. Towne declared
was jubilant over the prospect of Sc
curing q market which would compel,
with st. Louis, and a railway line tina
did not belong to Gould.
Memphis would come to Kansa
City for her grain aud pork aud woult
send her lumber up to us
The arrangements for the entertain
ment Of the Kansas City and Spring
! field delegations are being made b,
the Chamber Of Commerce and Uottol
Exchange Of Memphis.

SCIENTIFIC theories as TO the origin
Of fires may be in order and afford
pleasant literary recreation, but sci
entifc method Of preventing fires
would be worth more to Memphis just
now. Memphis has learned many use
iul lessons but most Of them by bard,
costly experience The city is in a
fair way to learn something in regard
to the fire question. TIE mere luck
Of long continued immunity from de
structive fires had made the people
indifferent as to stringent preventive
measures and the importance Of prop
erly equipping the fire department,
The demands of the Chief, backed by
the press, for new hose went unheeded
Perhaps the subject will receive some
attention now. The horse being gone
we will lock the stable door. The
city narrowly escaped an extensive
conhagration last night. The
FIRE was in the centev
Of lumber yards and old houses thai
would burn like kindling wood fonct
started. The heroic fremen WORKED
with a supernatural strength and
skill Thanks to their efforts, to gooC
walls on two sides, aud special prov
idence that lulled the winds, the fire
did not spread beyond the corner
where it started. But providence anC
a handful Of fremen, do no
always save city that does not try
to take care Of itself. The fact has
frequently been demonstrated tha
Memphis was not prepared to cOntro
general fire. Now, everybody know
it, and it is to be hoped that the citi
Eens will get together aud take steps Il
strengthen the fire department. Thi.
is no longer a..villlage if the people ar
allowed to put shingle roofs on old a
well as new houses. 1t is time 70
these facts to be realized, and acte,
upon in business-like way.

Legislative.

We find it inconvenient to make room
for a running detailed account of the do
ings of the Legislature now IN session at
Olympia-much of which Is uninterest-
ing to the public. We will. however, at
tempt to keep our readers informed as
to final action upon all measures, as well
as probable action on important meas
ures. Since its organization the Legis-
latuTe has not done much except to ap-
point committees, apportiOn work on the
Governors message, etc. Councilman
Collins, of King, has introduced bill to
appropriate $4,000 each year for the next
two years in aid of the Territorial Uni
versity at Seattle. The bill Is a merit
orious one, and we are glad to learn that
it will probably pass substantially as in
troduced. Councilman Power has in
troduced a bill to amend the code in re-
gard to the jurisdiction of justices of the
peace, to extend the same from 800 to
$500. This is intended to conform with
Delegate Brents' bill passed by Congress.
House Memorial, No. l, introduced by
Rep. Kuhn, asking an appropriation for
erecting Il custom house and bonded
warehouse at Port Townsend, will un-
doubtedly pass.
HI. Montgomery, of Portland, offers
to sell the Territory 90 acres of land
ear the insane asylum at SteIlacoom for
$500. His proposition is now under con
sideration.
Rep. Landrum has introduced bill
to repeal sec. 1852, so as to do away with
assessors, making the sheriff of each
county ex-officio assessor.
Councilman Power has introduced a
memorial praying for an appropriation
to maintain a snag boat for the rivers on
Puget Sound.

WALLA WALLA, October 10.

Have been busy since reaching my
destination with synOdical matters and
visiting my friends, also driving up and
down; but now find time 70 resume the
thread of my narrative.
The Dalles City did not impress me
very favorably. 1t is situated in howl
ing wilderness Of sand hills, etc, among
which the meandering river wends it
way; but | was told that there is a fine
country all around. | was on the look
out for the friendly face of honest
Hiram Parish, but had not the pleasure
of seeing him. Have not time to men
ton all the grand cities, every one of
them as big as New York, only they are
not all built up yet, and pass on to Waila
Walla-Waters! Waters!-with its grace
full popular groves, its handsome streets,
substantial business blocks, pretty
churches and elegant dwellings,, with
their green, grassy lawns. Nor have /
exhausted its beauties in this statement,
for there are yet its fine educational
schools and academy, the last added be-
ing Whitman College, in memoriam of
the first noble home missionary, who
fell q martyr on this coast by the dusky
Indians hand, and whose graz is to be
seen near Whitman town. Whitman
was Presbyterian, albeit the Congre-
gationalists do honor to him by this in
stitution. And last but not least l must
mention its pleasant river and purling
brooks. OF the latter quite a number
rush under the streets, and here and
there, where uncovered, CLEAN in the
sun light. Oh, how delicious draught
from these crystal streams when the
burning sun IS high! Walla Walla has
the best water supply of any city on the
coast. Now imagine yourself III the
midst of this beautiful cIty-looking
around on every side you see innnmer-
able wheat fields stretching away over
the very hill tops and along the sides of
the Blue Mountaias, far-famed for their
beauty and healthfulness. 1t is stated
that the n. P. r. r. and o. r. q n.
companies combined are not able to
handle the wheat Of this district, that
two hundred more cars are needed, and
that it will be spring before the farmers
can get all cleared away. One difficulty,
however, is the lowness of the rivers,
whereby wheat which used to be hoated
to railroad depots is held fast for awhile,
and may depreciate both in quality and
value. The people of Walla Walla want
and ought to have through line direct
to Puget Sound through the Cascades,
and that is the talk over there. Think,
as do myself, Port Townsend wouldn't
be bad place for that railroad terminus.
The good folks of Walla Walla were
very kind to us, and the bad ones, if
there are any, did us no harm, so our
recollections, natural and social are Of
a most pleasing character. Yours,
BUsTLFR,

From Rev. j. F DeVore we learn that
the legal transfer of the Olympia trans
fer of the Olympia Institute to the NJ
E. Church has been contaminated, and
the prospects of the school under Prof
Grubbs are highly encouraging. Many
of the people of the Sound evinced great
Iiberality in their subscriptions and do

DIR. John Hall, speaking recently, thus
eulogized Protestanism. He was deal
ing with the assertion that ''Protestan-
ism is a failure" How" ask the doc
tor, ''can that be failure which in A
d. 1888 controls populations to the eI-
tent of 4GS,000,000, while its rivals-the
Roman and Greek churches combined
control 2S0,000,000."
1t is proposed, in connection with the
centennial celebration of the organiza-
ton of the NJ. E. Church and the elec-
ton and ordination of Francis Asbury as
bishop, which occurred In the Christmas
conference in Baltimore in 1874, to en-
dow a university with a million dollars,
at Albion, Michigan; and, for this pur-
pose, an association is to be formed called
the Asbury Centenary Associa ton.
