Now, that there ihas ,been a spirit shown by some of our populitce to comply with the re quirements of certain ordinances re cently pasted by the city council, and the willingness oarriod into action, it bocomes ti:e duly of the municipality to see that all are treated alike. The sidewalks should be built, and If they can be without working too much of a liardithip upon the property owners, tliuir construction should not be de layed any longer than is absolutely necessary to get the material on tho ground. .Nothing speaks in higher terms for a little oily tban well-con-slruoled and substantial sidewalks.snd we are of the opinion that there does not reside in this place, one person who has not interest enough in the wellfare of the town to use every pos sible means to have our city in a con dition to present a creditable appear ance to visitors, and a comfort and conviemence to themselves and fam lies. Let the work be pushed eagerly forward, and then the trouble is ended. Ohroom Will Not Exhibit. It will be a disappointment to tho state at large to learn that Oregon will not be represented at the Midwinter fair now in progress in Han Fruocisco. The directors of tlie Association, formed for that purpose, have labored in vain to make a display of our products at the tloldon (j)alo,bui they have received so little financial encouragement, that at a recent meeting they decided to aban don (lie project. Little less than half the required amount had beau sub scribed and it is alleged that ninoty per cent of this was contributed by the citixens of Pui lland. Tho peoplo in the rural districts seem to cure very little whether the resources of our fav ored locality are made known to the outside world or not. They . are con tent to keep it to themselves, and to let homeseekers learn of Oregon at their leisure. 8riAMRR Siuvr.it Hnaikiko. Tho -steamer (J. V.

It Is but few weeks not more than live or six at farthest since reports floated up from Astoria, that ReniliiKton was ajiuln assuring the gullible people down there thut . .... , .... V... i.. Sr. UUUSOIl, OI 1.UI1UUII, ua icuu.v hi ui. nluli him the money to build their ruilroad. Mr. Hudson had then been dead some lime, as the following letter, just received from Colonel Uuiiun, shows: Th St. Jamis Hotkl.I WasiiisotuM, 1). t' Feb 1.1 - Mr I)ias IlAHcouat : I am glad to see you have tit last gotten The Sunday Mer cury into your own hands. Now, make it a wide-swulie, independent, and thoroughly reliable paer, and It will be a suceesf. There is a Held for such a journal In Port land, aud I Lelieve in your ability to rill the long-felt want. I enclose a copy of a letter which Colonel Illackman recently received from the son of Mr. John Hudson, telling of his father's dentil. He died very suddenly December 18. So the only man in the world who wa both able and willing to build the Astoria railroad, is gone. When I brought Colonel Uluckmaa to Astoria in November, lMtiit, he had In his pocket a contract wilh Mr. Hud on, and his London syndicate, to furuinh $2,j00,0OU to build and equip tlie road, and to purchase lands. Vou remember I after wards showed you the cont ract. Tho money was raised and ready, and Mr. Hudson hud gone so fur as to make a conditional con tract for the rails in England , and for the freight on them to Astoiit. Yet the sagacious gentlemen , whom As toria entrusted wilh (ha mumtaeniunt of her affairs , under tlie guidance of such em inent financiers ss E. I.. Dwyer snd little N. U Reed, of Boston, drop)ied Blackmail, with the money in his pocket and ready to begin work, and picked up two snides and bunco-steerers named Hammond and Dick Inson. They spent six months "negotiat ing" with these fellows before they found out what everybody else knew, and what I hud told them fiom the start that this nracious mdr of "great capitalists" were bankrupt and frauds. Then, in February, 1803 just a year ago I readjusted mat era with llluckiuan and Hudson. Mr. Hudson came fnm London to New York. After a verbal agreement with Remington, I introduced him,throui:h Blackmail, to Hudson. The arrangements were made, and the money would have been pruropdy forthcoming, but Mr. Rein ington showed an indisposition to carry out his undeistanding with Colonel Ulackman and myself, and seemed to think be could get along without us. So we quietly had the doors shut in lus lace, ana no money was ever in sight afterward. The relations between Mr. Hudson and Colonel Ulackman were so close and of such tons standing, that every line of corres pondence by mull or wire received by either of them while the affair was ponding, was immediately submitted to the other. I, myself, greatly regret Mr. Hudson's death, for I still hud hopes that, notwithstanding his disgust with the absurd mlsmunageuie.it of some of the men who have represented Astoria and her Interests, he might still be induced to go out there in person, with Colonel Blackman and myself, and tako hold of it. I see another company has been orgin- ixed, "with aoapltal of 3.000,000," to con struct the road When George Oouid has Just transferred his house to his wife, put ting his homo la her nance; when H,oou miles of American railroads are bankrupt and in receiver's hands ; and when tlie United States treasury finds it difficult to borrow whiskey money at pawnbrokers' rates, I think the "3,000,000 company" will have a H 11-and-Cievclund kind or a time getting tho cash. Don't you t Yeurs very sincerely, P. Doras. Here is the letter of Mr. Hudson's son, announcing his father's death, to widen Colonel Donsn refers: Hawkhubst, England,), January 17, 181H.I Col. A. L. Blackman, 31 Broadway, New York, U. 8. A. Dear Sir: In answer to your letter of the 4th inst. , it is my sad duty to inform yon that my father, John Hud son, of 440 Strand. London, died suddenly an the 18th of December last. My mother would have csmmunlcated with you earlier, but could not discover your address. I hope you will not be put to any serious inoonveiilnnce bv this calamity, which falls so heavily upon as. My father made frequent mention of your kind hospitality to him whilst in New York, I If we can be of any further servloe to you we shall be extremely glad to do anything tllhlu our power.
