The prenent hour Ih pregnant with either growth and Magna tlon, great progrenn or pro.sperlty or dwlndltni; exlntenee, our fate hanging ehletly, we. believe, iihii (IiIh one ipteH tlon. Mr. Itothehlld'H HtatetiientH iihoitt tin1 grow th and biinlne of the town litHtyear, ami the ciiiihch therefor, are ilouhtleHH rorreet. If, now that that "Imkiiii" Iihh paHHed by, wo are w illing to drift along In ottrprcHont condition, without reaching out for the nieaiiHof Mill greater growth and hiiHluefM, then wo may he H.ttlHlled with Hiieh eouiparlHouH uh Mr. ltothehlld tuitkfri iih topant yearn. Wu think there are many, rather than "few," who believe that we will not grow ami pronper iih we might and ought, "with uverageeropn and fair price." Of what avail Ih It to lViidlctnu an n town that eropHitud prieeH are good If the people who mine tin eropn go elHewhere to trade and live mid ex'iid their money? 'Hut eoiintry iih a whole, or the county, may he iih well oir, hut lVmllelon uh u town eerlalnly will not be. We adhere lotliCMtntcincnt that hi thin emergency the iibnlriict jtwtlce or rciiNinii ItletioHHof Mr, lluiit'HilemtiuilH Ih not In Inane. lielngitHHiired that without com pllauee we will lone the road, the only UCHttimlH: Can wiuillbrd to pny and do wuai tie itHKH or, liyoii pieane, can we. tttloril not to l Mr. ltothehlld HeeniH to asHUtne that lie eaiiHe Mr. Hunt Iiiih ,mwer to ilicliite teruiH to uh now, he would have nil xorlH of tyrannic jwiwer if IiIh road in hullt into Pendleton mwer to "eriinh everything hi ItH way." Mr. ltothehlld certainly diK'H not lielieve that anytlilugof thin sort run or will be ho.

It will doubtless eoM mtuii more tliatt thu 10,000 to grade the muMK'd into town and bridge the Umatilla. Mr. ltothehlld still talks about the levee.

Wo agree with all the com- l'enilletou. i.lenientH mild lie Mr. ltotlielilld ta tlio l lie I..M.T OKKOONI X CxpoCtH ttrt re- gentlenuui to whom he alludes; hut if we deal with railroad at ull by contract n largo majority, they elected to the coun cil a man who, ho hiijh, Ih "unalterably opposed to it railroad coming through any of the HlreetH of the town," Wo do not think (IiIh ipteHtlon wuh directly audi plainly in Ihhuo in that election. Manyl voters, no doubt, voted for Mr. Thoinp- j hou iKicauso ho ih ono of our principal property-owner and doHnrvoH Home voico In the general government of tho town; because he Ih a man well known and well esteemed by almost everybody J lteeattso he Ih known to bo a man of strict Ititeg. rlty and of good littHlneHH ability. Wo don't know an It wuh generally known that Mr. Thompson wiw "unalterably opened to it railroad coming through any of the HtrcetH of tho town." It wiih er hitpH generally known that he wiih not favorably Inclined to that plan; hut not that ho was "unalterably" so, if by no other way the railroad could be secured. Mr, ltothehlld conjures tip a vision of runaway teams and general wrack and ruin If thin railroad should bo built along it street. We think the evil, iih he lms pictured It, I greatly exaggerated If not almost entirely fanciful, In tho llrst placu there would bo but ono or two train inlay running over the roud, and they at regular time, which all people would soon understand. In thu second place, the apeed through town could be regulated by ordinance, and train would not run faster than a team walks. A gin-nod-up cowboy, on it bucking cuyusu. careering along a nlreet which happens almoHt every day I really more danger ouh than a railroad would be. After all, admitting all that Mr. ltoth ehlld says; admitting that tho building of that road down Alhi struct would he some damage, would inconvenience some, would be a source of some little .lunger; What then? All may then be Hummed up In thin: The objections, the Incovenleuce, the danger, all combined, tiro small, insigni ficant, hilluiteslmal, compared with thu great, supremo need. If Mr. ltothehlld deslresipilot he can have it by resisting Hits road. If he would have ImihIiichs, he must let tho ro.id come. Which will ho prefer, tptlet and tuifo stagnation, or life, bustle, and business, wllli a littlo noise, smoke, and need to "stop, look, ami listen" w hen crossing a certain street at a certain hour? This Is tho situation in a nutshell. The writer went to Walla Walla yester day. The town Ih alive, IIitlldingH are going up. Tho HtrcetH are teeming with people; the storeH with trmlo. livery body, without exception, who spoke of it, mentioned "Hunt's road" iih the cause of It. On the way going up wiih ii farmer living in the Vansycle region. Ho said he wiih Intending to build In Pendleton and keep his family hero must of tho tlmo hut could not do ho liecatisu the Hunt road was not completed; and he said several of his neiglilsirs wanted to do the same tiling. Some of them have already gone to Walla Walla or (Vnler vllle. We doubt not that the completion of the road would bring four or live hun dred families hero to trade who now go elsewhere; and many of them to live. Hut this is a small item compared with the enormous increase of products re ceived here, and the enormous sums gained or saved on freight on e.Nmrls and inisirts, We have another won! or two to say. Wo have hoard two tilings Intimated hi connection with this business. One is, that the owner of the "gravel liar," the projmsed deMit grounds, ilenlre to sell out that property nt a fancy figure. Now tho llrst obstacle to remove, then, I for these gentlemen, to openly, publicly make some reasotiahle proposition on that point, saying just what they will do, Unless they do thi the Last Oukoomas, for one, will have to drop tho tight. And they should do thin tit once, and male the price and terniH reasonable. Indeed, they ought to make the price very low. Thlsot Itself would Ih a wonderful en couragement. The other intimation Ih that the Kaht OiikooMak Ih paid by Mr. Hunt to take up this matter thim vigorously. We simply Hay that any such statement, or intimation, or insinuation, is wholly false and without tho least foundation what ever, Mr. Hunt ha not ald, nor ban lie promised to pay, or Intimated or sug-j geMed that he could, would, or might inv, I in any way, dheetly or indirectly, u dollar ' or a cent to the Kiht Okkooman or to any ersoii connected therewith for our ellbrts in this direction, or for anything wo are1 loing or saying, or an thing wo are to do ' A'1 k11,lJ,,01' ?rjln nmi oilier produce bought . , ... , ,i unit sold, AmpluniiU roiiuuotlloiuwurv- iitiusra. noon mm pnHiuce of ul kinds ntnrtHl nt reu.onuble rate. .VU)0Np, THIIEI). iriMitiMrTiVw.
