Seal Rocks Lively.

We visited the summer resort of

found this popular pleasure place
we'll filled with health and pleasure
seekers. Seal Rocks has the max
ing Of one the handsomest and
pleasant resorts on the Pacific. The

and pleasant. The attractions Of
the place are too many to enumerA
ate. The cottages are filled and

and from which the wagon road,
constructed at great cost, is laid to
cross a double summit, 20 miles
apart, each of which were more
difficult for road purposes than the
single dividing ridge over which
the o. P. line is laid.
The entire Willamette valley and
large area of Eastern Oregon is
virtually interested in seeing this
o. P. line completed, or failing that,
| by reason of the lack of confidence
amongst men Of means at present,
the interest is still so general and
vital as to make it our duty to our
own interests to make the road,
now in operation, an honestly pay
ing property, by constructing a
good wagon road from the end of
the rail to Eastern Oregon. 1t is
now twenty years since the route
was viewed out and surveyed at a
cost to the county of Marion of
some $500. The duplicate of
that sum judiciously expended
would within one month enable
wagons from Prineville 10 receive
their freigh from the end Of the 0.
P. rail, verify believe. To pre-
serve the life Of that road as a pay
ing property is worth twenty times
the slim above named, annually, to
the commercial interests of West
ETH Oregon alone; and today men
are leaving their location in East
ern Oregon sick from the hope de-
ferref of its completion, The quc5-
tion then is, what shall be done in
this matter? While the county of
Marion and her several towns has
the nearest interests in making that
route a permanent passway for
commerce, other counties Crook
and Linn, have nearly equal in.
terests, the former comparatively
more. There are homes, ard many
of them, in all these counties which
have been located and improved in
the belief that in that road as a
living enterprise. Many of these
home builders would loose years of
time and all of their means of forced
to seek another location by the
death of this road. There was sc
votes cast at the last election at the
single precinct ofDetroit, in Mariot,
county. Many Of these are willing
to give their labor free in aid ofthe
construction of a common road as
herein suggested, as a means of
getting the commerce of Eastern
Oregon to flow that way.

The Oregonian in AN editorial
points out the three most needed
laws that should be enacted this
winter, and classes them as reforms,
as follows: Abolition of the COM
pulsory pilot law, the enactment of
a more stringent law for the pro-
lection of Columbia river salmon,
and a more stringent law concern
ing fruit pests. OF the three re-
forms which the Oregonian speaks
for, but one, the latter, Is more
than local in its character. This
utterance of the Oregonian indicates
pretty clearly the legislation we
will get this winter. We predict
that the state will get no law to
protect depositors in banks; to re-
form assessments; to abolish the
host of useless boards and commits
sions now saddled onto the state,
nor to control the rapacity of the
railroads as common carriers.
