Tho " J'iko" sehoo' under tho man
agement of Mr. Elliott, closed to-day.
Mr. 13., begins school again in ono week.
Tho school at "Center," under tho
oh.irgo of Mr. Witling Is inn very flour
ishing condition.
Tho "Franklin Utorary Society"
have regular meetings on every Friday
evening. They nro going to Imvo a
"way up" exhibition to-morrow even
ing. They aro still pestered with tho.se
Hcunis of tho earth, tho hoodlums. A
little Judicial murdering would bo a
Very salutary thing for such quadru
peds. Tho roads in this part of the country
nro absolutely terrible. This brings up
(ho uuggesiion that (hero hliould be
some remedy for such things, liencu
would it not be well foroursolous when
they meet again, Instead of spomlifig
nil their linn; in enabling over tho U.
H. Nenator.ihip. or hhiio other political
vrowbalt,jto devote n part to making
laws that will bo of some beneilt to the
tax payers, for Instance, lot them umoiid
our Ko,td law, levying a tax, .say of
ilvo mills to bo sot apart asu road fund,
then appoint or elect mhiio suitable hv
hod In each district to superintend tho
work and put all tho-to trampsand friim
mers that arc infesting tho country to
work and keep them at It, paying them
reasonable wages, and not have them
preying upon society la the way of
puny larcenies, vc.
Again, wo should have a compulsory
Behool law, compelling those young
bloods that are charglii); ver the prai
ries with a hhot gun on their hacks, to
go hi school and when they are found
any where else to give a good rea.-ou
why they aro not In school. Itcmem
beryouiig man, that the time Is coining
when u man must either know come
thing or bo nothing.
1 wish that the Orange.? would take
these things under uilvl-uinuiit and
talk ihem them up in their meetings.
Come, brothers and aNter.-, let us see if
wo can't d Houiethiug to better tho
eoudltlnu of ourcolvos and those do-
endent noon us, and society generally
Mo.klngnflortli nothings that larger
Hows than us think aro beneath their

religious prejudice and work together
for I ho general good.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have spun this

The above puts tho case as strongly
as It can be made, uud we proceed to
answer the questions as to our own
views and tho reasons why wo oppose
the bill of Mr. Mitchell. 1st. Under
terms of its charter, tho N. 1. it. 11.,
cannot become more a monopoly than
aro railroads in general. 2d, Tho Co
lumbia river is to bo opened up to free
navigation, and that will deprivo either
the projected railroad or tho O. S. N.
Co.,of opportunity to monoH)lir.u tnttllc.
Wo must act togother to urgo the
speedy opening of that river, tld, The
N. P. It. It., will do moro for us than
all other roads rau, and tho moro fact
thnt Mr. Mitchell is unfriendly to it, is
reason enough to opposo his schemes,
especially when wo Imvo reason to bo
liov3 that ho Is the paid agent of tho
Union and Central Pacific Co's., and re
ceiving large foc3 from them. Their
interests uro not our interests, nnd ho
cannot bo a reliable friend of Oregon
interests and be tho agent of those mo
nopolies. Ith, Tf tho X. P. It. It., is
built the Salt Lake road is mm to bo
built aim, within a few .wars, wliaroo",
it the In". P. U, It. U dl-eott raged now,
it may not bo built for many years to
come. We do not wish to mako any
factious opposition to .Senator Mitchell,
but wo want to bo independent nnd
have a railroad of our own, ami tho N.
P, Jt. It. Is the only one that can be
called Mich.

of things that eaiuiot lony emlurc, because
within a month vcsdcIs with capacity of 10,000

skippers will pay nil tlioy can afford to secure

There is n great ileal of wheat still up tlio
Columbia and .Snake livers which cannot find
river transportation until tho Spring liso of
the Columbia, say by tho first of June. Tlicro
is also considerable wheat in fanners hands itt
this valley, mostly with thoio moro reinoto
from market whu woro prevented by hail roads
from hauling last Fall and cannot haul until
roads improve in tho Spring. Ab nono of this
wheat can reach market within tlitcu months.
and ns each is an uncertain quantity, neither
can nlfcct tho disposal of wheat' now in store-
and ready for shipment.
