Private letters inform us that the persons interested have suc ceeded in arranging with a party in the east who is abundantly able to furnish the rolling stock and iron for the road from Salem to Silverton, and also the one from Albany to Brownsville. The per son who is to arrange the final de tails would come up either on the Oregon this trip, or the next steamer leaving San Francisco. In his let ter to us our informant says: I shall, after concluding our business, try to get him interested in your road. "What inducement would there be (for parties who are able to take hold of the road), from Astoria and bring it into this valley? 1 wish you would make me something of a statement what will be done by the people of Astoria in re gard to this matter, and 1 will lay it be fore him when he comes. The company which he represents is building the Guatemala Central railroad,and are able lo construct your road. 1 would like him to become identified, and will do all I can in the matter. From the days of George Fran cis Train to Frank Pixley, the As toria public have been illustrated as sitting by the sea shore gazing .t the passing commerce as it proceeds to "that inferior inte i "or" Portland "waiting for luck.'1 2 Neither helping others; nor exert ing themselves. "When we call vpon the people to scatter the f.xts broadcast, that Astoria may be known even to the "Web-footers of the Wallamet, wre are teld: "Hush; it may be used to our dis advantage!" The balance of the world moves but do not Astori ans still sit around waiting for luck? IIo! ye who are listless and moping, ttit dismally twirling your thumbs, Andgloomily waiting and watching Tor something that thus never comes; You might just as well, foolish mortals, Expect you '11 by lightning be struck: one win nappen as soon as the other I Don't stand around waiting for luck. There's a saying a good one and a true one (Take courage you poor one who delves "With a stout heart so braveiy) that ''Heaven "Will help those who first help them selves;' And you '11 find, if you wish a good for tune, A pretty good way is to tuck I'p your shirt sleeves, and start out and find it; lon"t sit around waiting for luck. You may pine and mope on forever Find fault and deplore your lmrd fate I.ut. you'd better remember the proverb And act on it; ere it's too late. You may pout and grumble forever Just so long you will find you are stuck In the mire of sloth and abasement Don't stand around waiting for luck. There is wealth to be had go and seek it! And with it get honor and fame: By the sweat of your brow you can gain them, And carve for yourself a proud name; But fo do this takes tact and ambition, Persistency, hope and some pluck. Are you ready? then lose not a mo ,. incut! Don't sit around waiting for luck. Railroad Talk. Olympia Transcript, June Uth. The president of the Northern Pacific Railroad company appears to appreciate the situation, and the commencement of surveys forty miles north instead of at the mouth of Snake river, would indicate that they have given up the pull-and-haul dispute and the fight as to which side of the Columbia river the road should go. Portland does not appear to be much taken into account in its late operations. Probably because Jay Gould is getting it effectually bottled. In fact its people are getting alarmed, and we cannot blame them. If Jay Gould brings his road down to Portland, it must seek salt water t make it a through transcont inental road. It must end where lt water ships can easily reach it all seasons of the year, without d'day or enormous expense, and -this cannot be done at Portland. Consequently, the road must, either go to Astoria, or come to Puget Bound. JZ8 Send your subscription for the AsToiiiAX another year.

J Editor Astebian: We settlers of this portion of the valley, the central part, read with in terest your uccounts of the progress of the wagon road from the valley to Astoria. But we would have you to know that we are doing something in that line, ourselves; without the aid of outside parties. From Sidney Wood's farm, on the Westport slough, to S. L. Lo veil's ranch, a distance of 10 miles, the road is now in a condition for wagon travel.. A two-horse wagon came in with a load last week and went out this morning. Settlers are now at work extending the road beyond Lovell's to meet the road the settlers are open ing to Astoria. The upper valley men turn out to-day to make a wagon road out of the old trail that leads to E. W. Conyer's on the Claskanine. Settlers of that district are already working in toward the valley to complete the road on their district which extends to the top of the summit. This road connects at Beck man's with the river road, which follows the river from away above Cole's, down past some of the most nourishing ranches in the valley, to the forks, where it joins the road to Wood's and past Bates' to Lovell's and so on to the lower valley. July will see all these roads open for wagon travel. SEW ADVERTISEMENTS. NOTICE.
