The R. R. and IPs Result.
Those who hare lived in this valley
for the past twenty or twenty-five
years, when the railroad was first being
seriously talked of, have cot forgotten
the great anxiety manifested by all
parties to have a railroad. Farmers
believed it would doubly enhance the
value of their lands, open up new and
enlarged fields for their products and
give them a certain and reliable cash
market for every thing that could be
produced. Laborers thought that
with the railroad a general impetus
would be given to all kinds of busi
ness that farmers would be stimulat
ed to renewed exertion that
would be more grain grajvn-
there
ItW'
large farms would be cut up and farm:
J&
iog diversified that a much larger
acreage would he broaght under cul
firation that all the varied and r-ia-
teTTal resources of the county would
come in for a share of development
and thus under the new order of things
there would be a permanent demand
f;or all classes of labor and at good
wages. Everybody wanted the road
and seemed to believe it was the thing
and the only thing that would save
the country.
Well, the railroad is here; and if thf
country has been saved or perceptibly
benefitted by it the person who has
made the discovery has been too mod
est to let it be known. Lands have
advanced but little if any in value.
The acreage is not perceptibly greater
than before the construction of the
road the general product of the
country has not been increased, and it
has been found that we are too remote
from market to compete with more
favored sections and cannot profitably
ship our heavy or bulky products on
account of distance and high freights.
So fr from verifying the predictions
of many, exactly the mvrrse has been
the case; so soon as the road was com
pleted business began to decline and
lias steadily fallen off until at this
writing it is believed to have reached
the bottom with a more hopeful out
look for the future.
The reassna lor the decline in busi
nets and the stringency in money
mutters are so obvious that they might
go without stating, and yet it might be
well to say that a re action always fol
Jows the completion of an enterprise
of this character because it almost
completely revolutionizes business,
throws a large number ot persons out
of certain employment in which they
are, in some sense, skilled, forces them
to engage in other pursuits with which
they are unacquainted and often at
great loss and always at more or less
expense and disadvantage; supercedes
or does away with many kinds of busi
ness crowds horse, wagons etc. out
of employment and while this revolu
tionizing process is going on, business
cannot but be depressed and unstable
Aud capital wary and apprehensive be--cause
of the fact that everything is in
a kind of chaotic uncertainty. But
after a certain time "business resumes
its wonted channels, order is restored
and everything adjusts itself to the
new condition of things and trade and
commerce are as;in governed by fixed
and rational principles. We have
about passed through this unpleasant
transition period and may now look
forward with come degree of certainty,
as to what will be the result of tho
construction of this road through tho
valley. But little, of course, can be
aid, in one article,- for tho field is a
Viroad one and there is much room for
reasonable speculation; but touching
one point, it maj be predicted that
.those who believed or affected to be-
lirve a grand and imposing city would
toe built along the line of the road will
be doomed to disappointment for the
reason thatlhe valley is so situated,
wiih reference to the road, that) the'
building of any considerable city,
at any point on the line, is almost an
impossibility. Let us see if thy is not
in the very nataro of the situation,
trao and unanswerable by those who
think otherwise. In the first place
the valley is about 40 miles long and
from 4 to 20 wide in the widest
place.
Estimating the valley proper from
Woodville and taking this as the in
itial point we have a depot to start
with. Those in the vicinity of Wood
villa who hae any business with the
Railroad will transact their business
there. Wo come south up the alley
about 8 miles and there is Gold Hill.
This station will accommodate Sam's
valley and those lit ing near Gold Hill
and all do their business there. About
6 miles south of Gold Hill is Centra
Point, a station bear the center of the
valley. The people at this station,
have gone to considerable trouble and
axpenie to procure a ware house and
side track, and barium also, jiretPii
tious city aspirations will take special
pride in patronizing exclusively their
own place of business. Then 4 or 5
miles south is Medforca new, brisk
and sprigbty little station, also build
ing high for city honors, but which,
unfortunately, for its situation and sur
roundings, can only dekthe business of
its immediate locality like those al
ready mentioned. Then comes Phoenix
5 or 6 miles south and Ashland 7 or 8
miles south of Phoenix. They will each
do the business of their respective lo
calities and no more; and thus it will be
seen to be impossible, on account of
the narrowness of the valley, for tbr
business at concentrate to any one
point along the line so as to make a
town of any consequence, and nothing
less than business will make a tonn
and business only will sustain it.
Jfo is a significant fact and worthy of
Lall commendation that the Southern
people through their leading Generals,
Statesmen and politicians have united,
almost as onejman, in doing deserved
honor to the gallant an'd patriotic Gen
eral by whose qenius and bravery they
were prevented from destroying this
union, and possibly the last hope of
liberal self-government, and thus tes
tifying, in the mostconclusite manner,
their admiration of the man and just
appreciation of his services to the
country. By the courage and loyalty
of the Hero of Appomattox, now dead
to the marrli of time and human events
but alii until drar to the memory of a
grateful ;.eoi!f, they were saved from
the niaJ ijflirium of self destruction
and today ihey are thankful and honor
the heart and hand that delivered
them from themselves and re united n
happy and prosperous people. Our
cotemporaiy is the ouly illustrious per
sonage of the vast army of puling
braves who staid at home and fought
for the nipple jvho lias not been mag
nanimous enogh to accord to the dis
tinguished dead seme measure of the
full meet? ol praise to which his emi
nent services to the country entitle him
and which he is so generously receiv
ing at the banc's of a gracious and ap
preciative people. The career of Gen
eral Grant, whose mortal remains will
be consigned, today, to their last rest
ing place, by avorrowing nation, will
live in the memory of men, .so long a"
patriotism and the precious boon, of
sclf-covernment shall find a lodgement
in the human heart.
Gcxaral Grants Rkstivg Pn.ce.
The spot in Riverside Park, select
ed for General Grant's sepulcher, is a
promontory, and its fauuimit a level
plateau of about twenty acres. On
the river sido the decent isnbrupt. At
its foot, 200 ft below, are the tracks of
that branch of the Hudson Riv er rail
read that run into the West Point de
pot; on the northwest is the feiry to
Fort Lee, and on the north and north
west the red brick storehouses and
manufacturers of Munhattauville clus
ter around the base of the hill. If
the observer looks to the south he has
opened before him the long vista of
Riverside Park, of driveways, hewn
stone wall, and ancient oaks and ma
ples on the steep slopes of tho Hudson.
The spot suggests revolutionary war
memories. Fort Lee is opposite, the
old fort in Central Park is on the
southeast, Fort Washington is on the
north, and the highlands near West
Point shut in the horizon beyond the
Tappan Zee. No structure can be
erected to break the uniformity of the
view, as the water front and park be
longs to the city. The temporary
tomb to receive the body will be built
of brick.
The Democrats who are hungry for
office complain that Lamar is so lazy
that he will not take the trouble to
oust the Republican office holders in
the Iiurnur Department. No such
charge can bi yui against Secretary
Mauiiiii", ho iiafc invented a device
which is equayRiJingeiiuity and effect
irpiifM.Ho i.'7ireiiviB nartisan order.
TIlisjK t.i- eppciou? plea that he if
hampered in enil srnice rrforin by
the men in oilicf ho art not in sym
pathy with the Adniini&tt.ition. The
only way to reform them is to cut off
their heads. This is good logic, and
with a man of .Manning's euergy it
ought to clear his department of Re
publicans in short order.
In his book General Grant alludes
to his meeting with General Leo ut
A.ppomatox without the slightest sug
gestion of the melodramatic heroism
with which an ordinary man would
have interlarded the story. He bajb
they "fell into conversation about old
army times, and our conversation
grew so pleasant that I almost forgot
the oVjct of our meeting." Tne nj
ptu tree and sword and other histrionic
business is put aside, and the Union
commander shovr3 toward a defeated
foe, not a forced and condescending,
of which the Imperial conqueror of
Europe was wholly incapable.
Wonders of the 19th Cen
tury.
One of the most notable instances of
the obliteration of time and space,
which has come under oar observation
was a transaction of basicess which
took place between Gov. Chadwick
and Elijah Smith President ot a num
ber of R. R. Co.'s. Mr. Chadwick
was in Ashland and received a sa
sage from 31 r. Smith that ha would
leave Portland Friday or Saturday and
wished to see him. Gov. Chadwick
received the telcram at 9 p. M. Ha
asked the operator to call Hr. Smith
to the Telephone at.the Esmond Hotel;
and while that was being done, the
Gov. wrote "I can see you on Friday
evening" "tball I come." Mr. Smith
siid, '-'yes; I will wait for yon." Mr.
Smith was to leaye Saturday or Sun
day in his private ear for N. Y. Got,
Chadwick left Abhland and.met him at
Portland Friday evening. The whole
transaction, perfect as it was, did not
exceed five minutes, and they were
more than three hundred miles apart
and Mr. Smith at his private Hotel.
There is much that followed at tha
elegant supper given these distinguish
ed gentlemen by Mrs. Senator Dolpb,
which it would be pleasant to relate;
especially that relating to the Govern
or's mining suit in which be was un
wittingly trapped, but no apology
would suffice to let him off and 'when
once faee to face with the responsibility
aud the grand occasion declared that
he entirely forgot his "old clothes"
and enjoyed himself superbly until
pre!ntrd with a button hole boquet
when he found out he had no place to
put it. The Gov ii a live and genial
mail and we hope hie 'Yank' enterprise
will develop the largest bonanza aver
discovered.
The Grant Monument association
have issued nn address to the clergy
of the United States, suggesting that
contributions be asked in their respect
ire churches at services on the Sunday
following the burial of General Grant,
sums contributed to go towards the
erection of a monument to his memory
above his grave.
