Tlir- people of Eastern Oregon imil ,
Washington Territory will await with
considcr.tlilo anxiety tlio action of !
Congress on tlio transportation ipii'--tioit
of Iho upper Colnmhia river, the
ranal at the Cascades and the portage
at The Dalles. Already the Ca".rado
lock have consumed a groat deal ot
valuable time, ami large sums or i citizens
inoncv have oceii expended on me nifiiiirv
in iu: a MinircAXisM.
Wo cannot well exaggerate tlio
sturdv (iiidities of the rural popula
tion and the inlltience of country lire.
The penury, toil, a. id hardship at
, tending the early lives of so many dis
tinguished Americans, as compared
' with the advantages enjoyed by men
' of eminence in foreign countries, are
things that ought to he remembered
! just now. In l inds beyond the sea
, tlio wealthy and cultured r1aos have
' invariable-"hold the reins of power
and guided the governments, and
thoe" instances are 'rare indeed
! where persons in the humbler walks
of life have risen to the highest places
in ilio utnio. 'I'hn hrimder view of the
subject will suggest the location and 1
character of tho homes or tlio over
whelming majority of our leading
in their early life, and this
will lead the questioner to

tnethod of transportation is, or may
be, ho long as such rate.s as nro
equitable and right are charged.
Should n canal or ship railway be
built around the The Dalles rapids,
or any menus by which the Columbia
river 'wouhl be opened free from ob
structions, would it even then, with
out legislation on freight, rates from
interior points to such points as could
be reached by river transits, be cheap
er? For instance would wheat shipped
from this county to Umatilla landing,
and then rchipiicd by boat, lessen
the cost? Would not railroad com
panies then charge about as much for
carrying to Umatilla as they would to
carry tliiough to Portland unless re
strained troni such rates by a legisla
tive act? Wo believe that the time
of cheap rates between Keastern Ore
aud ocean shlppping points, will be a
time long delayed no matler what
means to open river transposition
may be made, and the producer and
shipper can only growl and await the
time.
A general feeling among the pics
oii t eongrot-smon Hint the great sur
plus a-.v-umulaled in the national
truasiiry must ho reduced. Just what
measures will be passed, if any, to
dispose of the surplus now on hand,
or wnat means will be adopted to
keep the surplus hereafter down to
only the requirements of the govern
ment, can not at this stage of con
gress be determined. We doubt not.
however, as members eem to l,e
united on this question , that flic sur
plus will bo placed advantageously
for the country, and that such other
equitable measure.- will be had as will
prevent the furthur accumulation of
such vast sums to lie idle in' the treas
ury vaults mid at tlio same time light
en' the burdens of indirect taxation
upon the arout iim-s of the people.
