Or egon t'ity's destiny U plainly illseeritlhlo on thehorljouof the near lierealVr, and th aspect prescntfd is such as to not only com maud the admiration of str angfrs visiting the city, hut should l a source ot the great est self conmutuliitions among our churns. No city was ever Imhued with prospects nf a more hrilliaut future. Nonk of the river lilts, so long tied up waiting (it irotf water have yet started They have plenty of water, 1ml they are still wtiitiug for order to move. The ile Uy is tlie ellecls f the new association oriiimiied by steatnlHMt men for their own protection, then- Mug as yel no definite plan adopted whereby unnecessary compe tition can he avoided. While they cannot 1st blamed lor looking to their own welfare, thev are, however, laid at fault bv tunny people up liver for the undue neglect they are showing In regard to relieving the freight bloekade as it exists at all uper way -landing. For many mouths the peo ple of those sections have looked forward with not little anxiety to the approach of sulhYicnt water to permit of nav igntion, and now that it has arrived and their circum stances arc not changed, apparently through nominal causes, it is little wonder they ex press themselves as dissutisllcd Willi the condition ot atlairs. Why tiro the boalsnot -started ? Tiikiie is a ileal of applause ilue such lib erality and trie enterprise as displayed by Mr, John S'Hwim.1, of Milwaukie, Inoifer ing !,ii towurds a railway from Oak tirovc to Portland, as announced in another column.

A road built through the community designated by Mr. Selwood would materially enhance the value of real estate throughout a large wope of country, ami he of the greatest bcnclit and conven ience l a larte number of people.

Weani lously await the result of the step taken by .Mr. Selhvood, looking to its construction. Tut: Columbia Itivor SteamlKiat Associa tion is the mime of a new organization organised nt Portland Inst week. The aso. cintion is intended lo include all boats ply ing on the I nl u :n Lin and Willainette rivers, and its aim will he I,, furnish the puhlie with better service, and at the same tun, make their business remunerative. They say they b ive ail been doing business so cheaply thai all they have gained Is experi ence, and their net earnings have not been enough to sustain the lines. They pro se a slight increase of fruight and passenger rates, say about 10 per cent., which will ena ble them to give better servii-e, as, for In stance, a night boat on the Asturia ronte every night' both ways, and a Sunday boat all tlio year mund, w hich will deliver the Sunday paper nil along the river. They will establish uniform rates and provide for exchanges of tickets between the dillurent lines, Thk I!u:tr ! ofTnule meeting, which is to be held on Tuesday evening next, will he the lirst held in lx!l, ami it would he greatly to (he credit of the hoard and would givo Oregon Cuy a higher standing as one of the progressive cities of Oregon, if the year could he commenced with lOJiiame on the roll of membership.
