Union, in it* last issue, has an article favorii.g the con struction of another rail road through that great wheat growing region, to terminate at L matilla, for the purpose mainly of securing a com peting line and a check upon B*k< r's road frotn Walla Walla to Wtllula. Units# the freight charge* upon the Wallula and Walla Walla row! are more exorbitant than have been re ported and are nearly prohibitory, or unless it is so conducted an to l>e unable to meet the demands for transportation there, we are at a loss to perceive the udvantage of another road in that vicinity terminating as it will only some twenty mih-s further down the Columbia river. Instead of any such project, it accurs to us that what is requisite for that great agricultural district over there is the construction of a railroad which will take its products to tide wa ter at once. For, the getting down the Columbia river a few miles more or less, eaccpt they get below the unnavi gablc points in that stream, will prove of but trifling advantage in tho matter of obtaining cheaper freights for all they can produce. What the people there really need, and thoy will see it ere long, is tbe com pletion of tbo Scuttle and Wall* Walla ruilroad, now in process of building; and when their eyes arc fully opened to tbo importance ol that under taking, and they lend their efforts in concert with the people here for its completion, they will then be helping to build a road that will go somewhere - one that will open out upon the sea - and one that will always afford them cheaper rates of transportation than any other route, and at once become the moans of developing the great natural resources ot the whole country and iapi<ll]T itugmffliiinK it" maltli am) population.

CHKYUKK, Oct 4—Th« coach from Datdvcod, which uririd hart UHJAJ, was stopped and robbed twelve miles south of Fort Laramie last night by two road agents. This" is a new point for this work, all the previous robberies having been committed north of Hat Creek, which is about 55 milesaorth of Fort Laramie.

Smith sl, Mr. Scryear SSO and a revolver, and a passenger, name unknown, $l5O.

Mrs. King had her money concealed in her hair, but it was dis covered and appropriated There were but two robbers, one marked, the other with his face blackened Extra efforts are being made to capture this part of the gang with a good prospect of suc cess. t:\MT t:K* MTATEft. Wa9H!NwToX, Oct. 4.—A heavj rain storm did considerable damage to the interior department. The entire north ball, occupied by the patent office was flooded. The ceiling of the north hall being exported to fall, guards were sta tioned to warn people of the danger. Business in the land office is entirely suspended and land records suffered considerably. It is feared some of them will be destroyed before they can be placed in dry rooms. The damage to the Ninth and G streets wings of the patent office from the heavy rain to-day is very great, many record* and public papers being thoroughly saturated with water, which flowed into the Ninth street rooms and hall so rapidly this afternoon that it was found necessary to cut a hole through the immense wall of the build ing to let it out. It is now feared by some that the loss by flood may prove as great a damage as that by the late lire. DAYTON, Oct. 4--At Washington court bouse to day, Crosby Hayes, a wealth farmer, hung himself.
