It is now assert ed that with the machinery oti hand the remaining work can be accom plished in eight or nine years for $130,000,000. An American party of thirteen contractors and engineers, representing some American capital ists, is inspecting this canal. The Panama officials arc offering them every facility to see the works, and the newspapers are telling t'jem the superiority of the Panama route to the Nicaraquan one. Taking the JVIedieine. Every city in the state, of any im portance, is making preparations for growth and advancement during the year 1SDS. Some are making a greater endeavor than others, and it is hut fair to presume that the re sults obtained will be m proportion. .La Grande is glorying in its coming lieet sugar mill; Pendleton looks foi a still larger business for its already prosperous wooleu and scouring mill ; Baker City is providing for greater development of the mining interests adjacent, while Astoria expects the completion of the railroad to bring grain elevators and all the appurte nances connected with a large ship ping port. Compared to these places what is The Dalles doing? True we have one of the finest set of club rooms to be found in the state, and arc build ing a public school which would be envied b' any of the cities named. Improvements arc continually going on, in our business and residence dis tricts; but, however gratifying they are, their influence is but local. The time has come when The Dalles must reach out to increase her trade in certain diiections ami to hold what she ahead bus in others. For tiiirty years this city has enjoyed the exclusive business of a large sec tien of countn, now threatened by the building of railroads, which will divert the golden treasure which has heretofore been ours. A few 3'ears may make a great difference in the commercial import ance of The Dalles. We have made many mistakes in the past, but can not afford to make one now. It is, we believe, a necessity that some steps be taken in the direction of building a railroad which will coun teract the influence of the Columbia Southern and Oregon Pacific, should the latter be extended. Six or seven years ago the people of this section were suffering from the exorbitant charges of the rail road company. All prayers for re lief were unheeded, till, forced at last to help themselves, the business men of this citj reached into their pockets and raised the money for the establishment of the D. P. & A. N. Co., running boats from hereto Port land. At that time the venture was considered a hazardous one, but b the working together of common in terests the D. P. il- A. 2s. Co. was made to bring about the desired re lief; and not only that, but it has proven a success for the stockhold ers, till now it is one of the most prosperous transportation companies on the coast. "What was done on water can be related on land, and there is little doubt that a railroad reaching from here to Sherman count' and connecting with the Co lumbia Southern, would be a paying venture, as well as the means for making the future of The Dulles secure. At least the subject is one which will bear investigation, and we trust our public-spirited business men will not allow the opportunity to pass. The relief expedition to Dawson City may be 'unnecessaiy, but if it calls to the government's attention the need of stationing troops in Alaska, it will have served its pur pose. With the coming together of such lawless elements as are to be found in Skaguay, as in all towns of quick growth, the civil authorities will be unable to preserve order, and until the conditions of the country are brought to a more stable basis, the presence of government troops arc necessar. if ir w Wholesale Cllines and Cigars.
