IT IS BEING DONE.
The contract let t«» John M. ('ol*
man for the building and equipping
of tbe fir«t fifteen-tnile ae« tion of the
Seattle arid Walla Walla railroad,
upon the payment to him <>i $l» r >,<MH)
ujxmi the arrival of »ul!i< i»nt ir«»n rails
to complete said road to Steele's
Landing, and s !.">,<* mi more, and
•tock in the road to the amount of
*60,000, upon the final completion of
the work upon the whole section, is
being carried out by him with com
mendable activity; and w«- are now
warranted in relating what we said
when Mr. Colman undertook the
work, for which his means and in
domitable energy eminently qualify
him to iuccessfully carry out and
♦ hat is that the piling aerosg the Hay,
the grading, the bridging and trestle
work, the ironing of the road, ami its
equipment will all be done, and that
the ears will Is* running over the en
tire section lieforv the first of No
vember next.
As an assurance for all this we
have but to state in reference to the
progreM of the work thus fur, that
Surber's contract for piling across
the Bay will It- finished in three t»r
four weeks, h«- having a little less
than 2,O<K) f» »t to complete; that
Katon & Webster's eontrict for all
bridging and treat ling oyer the
mainland will be done tins week, and
that the grading will t»< all finished
bv the middle of next month : and
to l»e done shrill whistle
of the first locomotive on this road
ia beard, we are now enabled to say
that the contract to build the incline
and ahntes on the wharf at the end
of the truck, and to lay the iron over
the whole route, has just bt en I* t to
Mr. L. F Compton, who is to j»er
forin the work vithin the in \t seven
weeks, and that all t»f the iron re
quisite for the entire line is not only
already purchased, but is now at
San Francisco, and will In- here just
as stK)U as the outer piling for the
wharf and depot is done. There are
something over a hundred long piles
to bo used for that purpose which
could not until lately be procured
with the Uirk firmly s» t upon them.
Thev are now, however all cut, and»
when driven, eapj* d and floored, the
iron will !*• here and the work of
'laving it down will immediately
U'gun and finished within four or
five weeks.
Three flat fn ight-cars arc now
boing built here to I** in readiness
for conveying the rails along the line
of the road. The contract also for
the construction id passenger and
freight ears, to lv ready for use
within six weeks thereafter, will In
let this week, while the first locomo
tive and tender for use on the road
have just been constructed at San
Francisco, and w»llK» hen* as soon
as the depot-whart is in readiness
for it ami the iron rails to l»e landed
upon.
Those evidence* of the progress of
work upon the tirwt section of the
road—which, when completed ami
that much of it put into profit ab'e
ojieration, as it will l*> inside of two
months from thin date. will giuiran
tee the construction ef uno tin r sec
tion, and eventually the whole r-.id
across the mountains furnish
for the benefit of a certain clws of
croakers who ha\e disparaged the
efforts of the Directors of this impor
tant enterprise, jfTui have even .jn« s
tioned the good faith of Mr. Colman
whilst he has U«u prosecuting the
undertaking atul having
the work done in a most substantial
manner. And we also do so, for the
gratification of the gn at uiajont v of
our citizens who will dul_\ ij preeiate
the efforts madi. and the importance
of this successful I» gmning in the
accomplishment of a project fraught
with so many immediate advantage*
not onlf to Seattle but to the whole
Territorv
