We were struck forcibly with a paragraph we tako this week from the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, relating to a now railroad scheme, that was pronounced a fraud, arid described in such terms that it reminded us of tho announcement mado by tho Now York Times, which wo also publish, in this Isstio, of tho coming Oregon Pacific railway. Now we personally havo an Interest that will bo very much enhanced if tho promises of Col. Hogg aro carried out. Wo havo, In common with tho people of tho Willametto valley, a great desiro to see tho Ynqulna railroad built and that harlior mado uso of for all tho commerce it can command. In fact we claim to bo anxious for tho success of all that is claimed or desired for Yaqulna Hay or tho Oregon Pacific railway, hut it is not for tho best good of our Stato that a scheme shall bo started as described in tho matter wo quote elsewhere, for Its failure must react on tho good uaino and commercial Integrity of Oregon, and do us treat damage. Wo aro just growing out of tho reputation and disaster entailed on us by tho wild-cat railroad schemo of Halladay, and any inoro such dis honest and reckless operations will have tho samo effect, for wo claim that if Hulladay had left tho field open for legitimate cntcrpriso tho country would havo been better oil' to day. Wind assertions, windy promises ami wiso looks aio not going to build a inilo of railroad. If Col. Hogg's company, that ho tells of, will plank down cash as Villard's corporation did, nml go to work as thoy did, that wilt bo busi ness) or of tho Orcgonian Hailroad Company has, that will speak for itself, and wohopo tho tidal wavo of prosperity is not hich enough to float any schemes that will not provo to bo substantial and reliable. It re mains for this new corporation to repel tho insinuations mat) in various ways concerning it, and our solo object is to warn honest peo plo not to bo led into any schemes based oil this cntcrpriso until they sco that it has bot tom.

All tho properties of tho Oiegou Central Hailroad and Western Oirgon Hailro.ul have now been transferred to thu Oregon and Cali fornia Railroad Compuiy, which now owns .'100 miles of railroad in iKTntiou iu Western Oregon. During the coming year tho company will mako careful examination of tho routes from Roaeburg to thu Statu line, 'iM miles, and from Forest (lroo to Astoria, 100 miler, over which their franchise and land grant ex tend, with a view to constructing theso lines to perfect their system, in caso it Is feasible to do so. This company, under the present management, has bt-011 a blessing to thu region favored by its 1 1 alliu ami tho moderation it has shown under sometime veiy imfaoral!o circumstances, commends it to tho producers of Oregon and deaurws their irspcct. Iitcaso this pioneer railroad organisation of this val ley can arrange to construct tho road to con. neot tho Willametto valley with AttorU wo hall expect to seo a great portion of the pit. ducts of this valley shipped direct to that point. The laud grant over that 100 miles of country must 1h wry valuable and thu con struction of this railroad will insure thu settle incut and cultivation of many beautiful val leys to 1h found among the Coast Ranges, so will bo a great advantage iu dcwlupiug thu State. Wlillo thu interest of 1 '01 thud naturally is to center trade at this point, and we Ulievo this will lie always as great 11 point as tho liberality and enterpiiso of Portland capital shall deserve, still thu people, outsido of Portland, far and near, need direct railroad communication with tho mouth of tho Colum. Ida, aud it tliat is to build up a great city iiuiu, an no navu iu aay is uiai II cannot lie. built up without the people havo need of it, ami II they need ft, it must le built. The Astoriau speaks with confidence of tho con. traction of this road at an early day, and wv uope It is Justltlcl iu ao doing, Again, the construction of a load through Southern Oregon, through Umpquiaud Rogue river valleys, to conuect Oregon and Califor nia, is an Important matter, aud calculated to do wonderful good to thoso valleys aud the rttato at largo if accomplished. A few years ago it seemed as if our State and the entire North l'acitlo was at a stand-still in tho mat ter of railroad development, but w itliiu a year the moat wonderful enterprise has developed aud capital seems ready to construct roads wherever they are uevsled.
