The last number of the Went Shore
Magazine is one of much interest, its
special engravings and descriptions
embracing the cities of Vancouverand
Pomeroy, both in tho new State of
Washington, and Albany, one of tho
llourishfng cities of the Willamette
Valley. Vancouver, on the Lower
Columbia, and Pomeroy, in thel'ataha
region, south of Snake River, are typi
cal representatives of those two widely
divergent sections of Washington, tho
heavily timbered and tho treeless pra
irie, both of them extremely fertile and
attracting many settlers. The number
also contains descriptive articles of tho
Tillamook region, Oregon, tho Skagit
Valley, Washington, and the Salmon
River region, Idaho, and articles on
the subject of grain elevators, fish pro
pagation, etc. Of special interest is
the first half of a strong story of Mor
monisin, entitled "Out of Zioii,,' and
the first part of "A Story of the Kla
math" in pioneer days. Accompany
ing the number is a largo art supple
ment of Hotel Denny, made from the
plans of tho new hotel to be erected in
Seattle, tho most striking piece of
architecture on the Pacific coast. Pub
lished by L. Samuel, Portland, Oregon,
at $2 50 per year. If you want to see
a magazine that is brimfull of valuable
information about Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Montana, send twenty-live
cents for a sample copy.

We are much pleased over the prob-1
abilities of an appropriation from the
State to improve the Canyon wagon
road, but would be much belter pleased
to know that the subsidy asked by Mr.
Hunt to build a liiihoad through the
Grande Hondo Valley was equally sure.
Then the people of Wallowa county
would have very good reason to believe
that they would have a road that would
benefit them mateiially. We can ex
pect but very little from I ho Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company. I
believe it would be better for Wallowa
County to make up tho deficit, should
Union County fail to raise the subsidy.
1 am ashamed of the feoblo argument
usod by the oppofris of Mr. Hunt's
proposition, when they say he has been
employed because of the county seat
agitation. What does Mr. Hunt care
about the county seat of Union county?
He is too much of a man to dabble in
such little matters. Rut drowning men
will grasp at anything on the surface
of the water rather than sink.
Kind reader, 1 forone have lived long
enough to know that competition is
the life of business, and that one rail
road through a country like Grande
Hondo is a I'Mifo without another one
to compete. The nearer together the
tho better for tho people. For pity'H
sake don't sell yourself for half price,
but stand in and raise the subsidy and
tho award will he great.
1 don't charge anything for my
opinions or experience, but my friends
look at tho mutter right and do your
duty uud Geo. W. Hunt's railroad will
truvorse this country, sure.
