Nothing so binds communities together as easy and rapid means of communication. Nothing helps to build a country up and give it the requisite population so quickly as lines of travel by land and water, that penetrate into isolated regions and bring the inhabitants a market for their produce. To the northof us lies a vast and fer tile region, of great natural wealth and almost unlimited resource. We refer to Pacific, Chehalis and Wahkiakum counties. By the en terprise of certain residents of Astoria and Pacific countv a reru lar line of travel has been estab lished between this city and the head-waters of the Chehalis, and now from the Seattle Tosl-lntel-Ugcnccr we learn that it is the in tention of the Port Blakely Mill company to build a railroad from the Sound to the Chehalis. The company own a large quantity of timber in that direction 22,0001 acres in one body, and it is said its object in building the road, will be to make their timber available, and incidentally to develop the coun try and share in the benefits of the immense transportations certain to arise. The company has de finitely concluded many of its plans, and has determined to built from Skookum Bay to the Chehalis river, near Elma. The distance is about eighteen miles. The grades will In; comparatively light, the worst being 110 feet to the mile, for a short distance. The right of way is already secured. Xot only will the road be equip ped for log hauling ii the best known style, but it vill also be equipped for the freight and pas senger traliic: the whole cost being about 100,000. This affords grand opportunit to that vast empire comprised in western asningion. an a line of boats from Astoria to Shoal water bay,Gray?s Ilai bor, and points on the Chehalis river to Montesano and Elma, and a rail road running to the Sound to con nect therewith, that country will receive an impetus that will put it forward half a century in advance of its present status. The consular service for the last year netted the government a profit ot 51,000, the expenditures having been $S3S,0G0 and the re ceipts $SS9,000. This is. of course. a tax on shipping equal the total of recipts. Like the burdens im posed on inventive genius through the heavy lees of the patent bureau, it is often too very serious objection. The British govern ment lays no burden on the com merce of Great Britain for sup port of the consular system, pay ing the entire cost of it out of the general fund. It appears to be the policy of our government to keep our foreign trade and our ocean carrying trade down to their present rather contemptible limits. There are but two colored men elected to the next congress, and it is interesting to know that the name of one is Mr. O'Hara, of North Carolina, and of tiio other, Mr. Lynch, of Mississippi. This fact may or ma' not be s3'mbolic of the final settlement of the color question in America. A century hence there may be no black race in this country, while the whole or a large section of the population may be a little "off color." The old reliable "Wells, Fargo express company do not intend to give up their business on this northwest coast without a tussle. They have commenced proceed ings in the U. S. circuit court, praying that the O. R. & N. Co., and N. P. R. R. Co, lie restrained from interference with their estab lished business. Tin: late Thurlow "Weed was the originator of two sayings that are hkcly to be permanently re tained in our political parlance "a good enough Morgan until after election," and the use of ' roor back'' in place of the French "canard." By a majority of two the Port land board of trade has very properly declared in favor of abro gating the Hawaiian treaty, which permits Spreckles to cinch the ag&r consumers of this coast. A Washington- despatch says: It is quite probable a couple of new states may be admitted, and perhaps three. Washington, Da kota and New Mexico, will make very vigorous efforts for admis sion. Already:orablo reports have been made upon Washing ton and Dakota. Their admission would give the Republicans in creased strength in the senate where the majority is so small as to be quite a serious matter. Rep resentative men from New Mexico are also here, urging the admission of that territory, but as its politics are a little uncertain, it will not probably be successful in its ef forts.
