The California branch, owned by the Central Pacific, we have been assured, is ready to proceed, if there is any certainty of a completion of the Oregon branch, and now that the latter has just been taken charge of by an agent of the German bond holders, who are most interested, we may look for something to be done next year, as it is too late to commence this year towards accomplishing much before winter. The fact of the agent being satisfied with the management of the California branch, and his tak ing charge of the Oregon branch, show that matters look favorable for the work to proceed very soon, towards closing the gap and making it a pay. ing enterprise, as it certainly cannot amount to much as an investment, un less complete railroad communication is made between Portland and San Francisco, to secure the coast freight and travel, besides gaining the surplus products of the intervening country, which is now very large, and could be greatly increased if cheap communica tion to a market is afforded.
