Withiti a few weeks the financial circles of the entire country were startled by the att- notuieement that Mr. Henry Vjlhtul had Ofleled a blind pool i f tight million dollars at the east with the atitound isg leMitlt of fifteen million dollars being nlTered to take it op. Thia bold and Kueeessful move has ImCO cbeiaotOI tied as one of the most triuuikabic in ihe final. -i il hisloi v of this age of hu ge os-ratiouK. It needed bu! a shot t time lo dis close the fset that this "blind ho!

The truth is what weuwd to be the inevitable result of this wat of Titans had somelhitig ot the tragic in its elements. High hopes do not suish, great ambi tions do not fail without mighty strug gles which seem like death t tiroes. The affair had alao its comedy tenches. The taking up of the blind ioe), the un masking of the deftly concealed plan of the syndicate brought the President of the Notthrin Paoitic to the front with a vigorous nud indignant protest against the possibility ef the new combination accomplishing the deflection of tho construction of the mailt track from its proposed course as near due west as might bo from Wallula to the deep, still .waters of the magnificent Sound which has so long waited to be vexed hy tho keels of the. worldj navies, And subsidiary to this, wilh an evi dently wholesome fear of thu conse quences of tho unexpected develop ments connected with the ' blind pool," came the issue, by tho same President, of millions upjn millions of reserved" stock which temporarily at. leitfct check ed the apparently triumphal terminal march' of the enterprising citj on 'the WiUammette. Nothing daunted however by the unexjected issue of the reserved bonds "the blind" pod syndicate have up- p?a!el lo the courts to set aide the action of tho President of the N. P. R.

In all this hmlybiulv the comedj element, tho hiiae.rous, griinlv h nu n OUS, aspo-'t ftho case crops out and mvsents itself. Fast uiio:i the heels of tbe indignant protest i f ihe PieHi dent of the Northern Pacilic came tie equally indignant, denial of tin lender of the "blind oo" syndicates. If Mr. Billings was willing to swear by tele graph thet "blind pool," or no "blind pool," the construction of the road from Wallula to Peget Hound could not and should not be hindered do- ayed, or prevented, Mr. Henry Villsrd was equally willing on the very, next lay, being apprised by telegraph ot Mr. BillinaV view on the subject to swear that no such move was contem plated and SO wilh these mutual expla nations, the deaf public were left for twenty four hours ef comparative re lief from suspense fo believe that both brunches of the road would be built and that Puget Sound and tho WiUam mette, both rolling unvexed to the sen, would caeh benr its proiKirtionute share of the commerce ot the north west on their placid bosoms, that.

It is idle to pretend that the wide spread demand for relief from ex tciions iu tho matter of transportation rates which culminated in tho organization of the railroad movements which have Yaqnina Bay lor their objective jwint sre a mere outgrowth of local or indi vidua! complaints. All of the circum stances from the inception of these movements to the present time are fa miliar to our readers. All of the argu ments pro and con me twice told tales to the people of the Willamette Valley. B.tt every argument which has been advanced in favor of this great atiter prise, every reason which has been given in favor of its construction, js given additional emphasis by tho recent developments connected with the North ers Pacific. There is nothing- what ever in- the past history of tho mana gers of the transportation interests of this State, iu the history of similar in terests in any portion of this Republic, to lead us to believe that fresh acces sions of power, enlarged facilities for "putting on the screws," additional ca pacities for renewed exaotiens will re sult in any amelioration of the wrongs of which we have jnstly complained. On the contrary, now, in the light of existing circumstances, in tho face of tho fact that a stupendous power is virtually in a condition to impose terms upon half a continent, now is the time mote than ever to net, o aet promptly ami ile.-isi-e'y, at l to resolve not to turn h.e!.

Government sur veys have demonstrated the feasibility ef making a capastouH naroor m mat saint unobstructed bv ice or snow. The work of building a railroad to that Kint has been undertaken by men in whose lexicon there is no sea word ss fail. The eonatruction of that road mesns competition in fares asd freights, relief from exaction, increase in popo- akion, reduction of taxes. 71he people of this section sre in t ar- nest shout this business.
