TEE DAILY IHTELUQEKCSB DAVID HIGGINS. TBI BAILT limUUEiria la »bUMm4 e*M7 ewrslt, isUrrtt«n in WALLA WALU BAILBOAB I* OOVOBSSS A private letter published in the Olympian affords the encouraging information that there ia now a proa pact of getting the land-grant en dowment that was originally confer* red upon the Northern Pacific Com pany for their Branch across the Cas cades, transferred to the Seattle and Walla Walla Company. A bill to effect this result has lately been in troduced in the Lower House of Cod great and duly referred to a com* I mittee who are said to be disposed to report favorably upon it. Though there ia some uncertainty about the passage of such a measure in behalf of a Territory, considering the well-known attitude of the pres ent House upon the question of sub sidies, yet its introduction and dis cussion, at least, will be af advan tage. At any rata it is somewhat doubtful whether these lands will be allowed to revert back for private oc cupancy under the Homestead and Preemption laws, which next to their transfer in aid of our railroad would be the best disposition that could be ■ade of them as regards the inter ests of the Territory. An attempt has been made to have them be stowed upon the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad, and efforts will probably be made by the Nor thern Pacific management to retain at least a part of them under some pretext or other. Yet if the original grant can be justified, the transfer of this part of it to our company, in view of the default of the Northern of the road, cannot now be reasona bly refused. The ultimate sucoess of the Seattle and Walla Walla road is not depen dent upon the receipt of any Govern ment subsidy. The commercial re* quirements of the country will insure its completion some time; but a lit tle aid of this kind from the Gov ernment, extended now would insure its immediate and rapid prosecution beyond the limits now under con tract, and advance the Territory on the high-road of prosperity more ef fectually than any other measure that could be devised.
