The Idaho Statesman seems aggravated
because the Oregon press do not cudge
for the Pacific Railroad from Salt Lake
tothe Colnmbia river. If the editor will
review tbe Oregon journals briefly,' he will
find that we have held opinions exactly
The Valley Towns. Mr. Vv .A. Mc- p
like his own upon this subject, and have
Pdjerson, editor of the Unionist, recently re
turned from a week's r up the valley,
having visited all the towns 0:1 the river
from Salem to Springfield. He rays it is
gratifying toyiote the improvements that
hive been made at all points within the
last eight tr ten months. Puena Vista,
the firat youth of sQUidi. is rapidly assum
ing (he p-portions of a town, and from
its favoblo location is destined to be the
first point in importance in Polk county.
Albany as u.-ual ioing ahead in cosily
anfc permanent improvements, sbverid
lire-p9oof bricks which were 'm course of
construction six month:-, since, are now
r.omplcted or nearly so. First among
these is W. W. Parish t ?o.'3 two-story
brick. 00 by 50 feet. The lower story is
divvied into tv.o splendcd store rooms
one St which will soon be occupied by the
ptOpVietors ; tbe other being already taken
for a drag store by Whitt'uaore & Co.
Monteith " two new bricks are bothfihi-h-od
and occupied. McCallisters brick is
completed below and occupied as a dry
guods store. Honk's brick building is
also finished and tenanted, Many line new
residences have --prting up in d.llerent
part3 of tenva, pjjo turnout iunoug which
arc V. Yv Parfis'i's and P. C. Godlcy s
jioar Court-IIouee square in the central
nart of towfii Corvailis comes next, but
noticing so well aeqa dated, he was una
ble to particularize. The tow-a presents a
lively appearance, and miny place? are
occupied Xov business purposes which
were vacant one year ago. Ilirrisburg is
a lively, fliiiris-hiug towa. and improving
very fipidiy. It contains several stores
tilled with m tram "th stocks of goods, be
tides many lessor establishments. Smith
& (o, have a very extensile stock ; he
was in formed hat they design erecting a
fire poof bnfck the coming summer.
Moore & F.aber have already completed a
Cre proof store, which fo? dimensions and
finish i.s not excelled in the State. At
Peoria he had merely time to step on
phore before the boat whistled. He had
repeatedly asserted as our belief, that Or
egon would enjoy the facilities of Railroad
communication with the Mississippi States
at least three years prior to California, by
this route, which we have been lead toun-i
derstand has been definitely determined
upon, and no d oiibt Ike road will be built
according to tae preliminary surveys of
the Union Pacific Company, which is most
deeply interested in it, and for reasons
quite apparent, set forth as follows :
1st. That company own the line no
further west tbua Salt Luke, or the eastern
bound ary of Nevada.
2d. The Central Pacific, which is being
built front the west, is in the hands of an
other oup.rny controlled principally in
San Franc. sco.
d. In a business point of view, a through
lute fCotn Sal; Lake to the Pacific tide
water, becomes a, matter of the utmost im
porrance to the Uivon Pacific company.
ilh. There is but one poss.bie chance to
secure that, and that is through the Snake
river valley.
The Union company must build this
ri ol Th- -tin t'i-,ini ;.-r, tiM.l.i tti..- I., ....
secured bat they want a coutmuous line
oftheu- own to the Pae.tic ocean. And
while they are securing tins, they at the
same time tap lie chief sou ice of trade to
the proposed No.uhe.iu Pacific Railroad.
5:n. Ail that vast trade which the pro
jectors of the Nov'hera rou e count upon
as a source of profit, the Union company
c .n appropriate to itself by sea-ding oat
its branch toward the Columbia river.
It is claimed that no other road can be
so easily and cheaply built. The States
man says :
There are no difficult mountains to cross

The, roads in the Umpqtxa valley, are
said to be almost impassible, being qui.e

Liy the first of May Mr. Blain and Lis
party w.ll be on their"wav to the region
drained by the John Day and Crooked

The Gazette says if there is any person that
needs encouragement and cheering, it is
die editor ot a eouutry newspaper. Weil
and truly spoken.
The Gazette says it is a very easy matter,
some tint .'s. to start an enterprise, but very
difficult; to make it succeed. This seems
to be peculiarly true of Temperance and
Uel-giuus newspapers on th";s coast.
The Mountaineer gives it as a rumor,
that the contract for carrying ihe mail
from Dalies City, to Poise City, has been
awarded to C. M. Lockwood. ft is the in
tention of Mr. Lockwood to place a line of
;cr lor Ca:l.'.;r:i:a read ue uers :

winter apples, however, lave aiw.tys
naaitra'ned a superior price In ti e market,
and the recent operations have evoked
comment even from the California press,
the San Franc sco Times of u recent date
admits that Oregon apples sell at an aver
aire of .3j cents higher than the California
pro luct, but rae ta the univei sal Cakio: n a

he " 77?ne.v'savs further on. - the Oregon
apple is better colored and keeps loncer;-
and if, as everybody knows, it is also bel

or any other man, may jus: as well ac

quiua itay, begs the press to urge our
Senators and Kepresentatives to get a
mail route established over there. It Is
sixty -eight miles from the mouth of 1 a
quina Bay to Corvailis. by the usual route
traveled, and the whole distance is settled j
up. Much of the road passes through a
rich and populous country, yet there is
not a post-office, or a post-route between
tbe two points. " We need a mail route,
and must have it. We hare asked for it
and we intend to keep asking, and get
everybody else to ask. until we do get it.
We need it very much, and ice think we
deserve it. for settling and developing a
wild, new country, for supplying the rest
of mankind with the best of oysters, and
for carrying Benton county for the Union
ticket last summer, thus securing a Union
