Thohi Siukwalis. 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. Hhaver had a slight ac
cident Monday evening.ou the regular
trip from Clatskauie to Oak Point,
which caused tier to ship coiiidcrnb!e
water, and made it necessary to beach
her at Davey's place for several hours.
The steamer apprnaeheil Jolmu's land

snag which ripped the planking on
her starboard quarter, jtmt forward of
'tlie tiropit, for the distance of about
.ten feci. Tho sieiimt r was running
mmler a slow bell at the time, aud the
blow was so light that the accident was
not discovered until the hold was
pretty well tilled with water. The
damage was quickly repaired.
In Jt Imaginary? The seamy side
of human nature is always turned to
the newspaper man. The littleness
of big men, therasculiiiesof good men,
the treacheries of true men, the gull of
good men, the ingratitudo of all men,
are luid bare before him. There is
never an hour that a newspaper man

of coming out of his winter quarters on

that reauest. and ask "0: L. 0." to write

HUDSON DIED IN IiONDON.

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
