TUB LACK OP MAIL FACILITIES.
Tho present arrangement of tho
United Stntes mails in tho interior,"
and from the Lower Columbia to this
point, certainly call for rectification,
villi a View to conform them to lho
growing necessities of tho country.
It will bo observed that whenever the
river is closed, thcro is a break in the
communications between Southern
Idaho and tho places below the Cas
cades of lho Columbia. This break
extends from Walla Walla to Van
couver and Portland a distance of
two hundred and seventy five miles by
land. Sometimes it is only for a few
days, but generally for at least two
months in tho winter lho communica
tion with lho interior is dillicult and
uncertain, practically resulting in a
total suspension of travel. ""This is so,
not because it is absolutely necessary
it should bo so, but beC-auso there is
no provisinr tln transportation of
mails and passengers by land during
tho - suspension of navigation. To
remedy this.defect, il is necessary that
arrangements to carry lho United
Stales mails from tho Lower Colum
bia by land should bo mado. Tho sec
lion between tin1 Dalles and Walla
Wulla is easily operated, lho average
of winters, nine days out of ten. llun
ning through an open country, 'whero
tlio Chinook wind sejdorn allows tho
enow lo lie three eonaeeutivo days, the
daily passago of sleighs or coaches
would keep tho road open. .But no
thing less than continuous travel will
do this. The crust on snow is just us
much a Uurrier to lho passage of
of horses as if lho earlh were a m hen
mass of volcanic matter. Few horses
can li a v .mi miles in a hard crust
with ll.. fnow eight inches deep.
This iieccsHln!. a i lit dnir passago of
sleighs and v. it'.oiM lo keep tho ciusl
broker:
Fi.ii. iho Dalles drw the Colum
bia, a road must li nitrtructed, which
will admit of , I ho Vapid movement oi
vehicles, and this is indeed an expcit
sivo underliikirg' 'CotiKideriiig tho
sparscness of lho present interior pop
illation, it does not promise very-largo
dividends on its cost for eomo years
to come ; but with the vast prospoc
tivo increase of inhatitnnts and re
sources tho necessity for this road
continues to obtrude itself on the pop
ular mind, until at last it will be built.
The day of lho accomplishment of
thi enterprise is not remote. If, in
six years, tho interior has sprung from"
a po, ulai'ion of five lo forty ihousai d,
it is reasonable io stipposo that theBO
figures will bo doubled in n liko period
from tho present limo. As it in, half
of tho men who have visited iho Co
lumbia Basin aro immigration agents,
whoso representation ...ro. doing as
much, or more, for prosperiiy of
tho country than t' ; combined exer
tions of tho press.
If our means of inter. communication
cot) Id bo improved, a great additional
inducement would bo offered for the
permanent settlement of our interior.
In fact, if this is not done, tho mining
settlements of Southern Idaho will
look towurda California for tho moans
of winter-transit which aro . denied
them hero. Tho roulos by Star City
and Chicp fun through districts whero
tho winter is less scvero than thoso by
Wulla Walla and Xfinatitla. Tho ho.
tility of tho Indians ih'ro'ug'h tho hoc
tiuu traversed, , by theso Yontos, alone
greater cxtpnt than ut present. If
mother year should pass without tho
means of economical and rapid winter
travel being provided on the routo
from hero to Uolso and; Owyhee, tho
probabilities are fn favor of its Inking
lho directions to which we liave r? . ,,rtl'"
ferrcd.
Unless tlio mails aro carried con
tinuously, in winter and summer, over
tho route wo have marked out up tho
Colombia itivcr, the project will bn a
failure. In order to justify lho ex
pense of tl o construction of the road
from tho Dalles lo some point below
tho Cascades, it will require that it
should bo con' inuijjly used ; that tho
public mind should become accustomed
to consider it as tho principal conned
lion w'flh lho outside world, and, that
Iry continual use. it should bo kept con'
stantly in repair. Lxpcneno denr
onstrales that a road which is kejjl
onhr to bo used three months in lito
year, is always out of order .when it is
most neeocu.
As to the relative spec! o't lho trans
mission of mails by land mid water, il
is demonstrable that tho land route
has considerably the advantage, from
the fact that the schedules can be so
arranged ns to ndmil of night travel
over lho greater part of any route in
the interior, whilo the navigation of
ho Colombia is so dillicult that it is
safe lo count only on daylight as the
time to be used by steamboats.
Wo earnestly invito publ'c atten
tion lo lho "nleas herein presented,
wi:h the fu l lelief that upon tho
adopt ion ot some such sell cine of com
iminicntion depends our fin ore com
merci.u connection with the richest
portion of the mining interior.
