The gentlemanly agent of the Union Pacific at this place, Mr. Lytle, informed the Chronicle man this morning that the Baker will make her last trip to the Cascades today. The Chronicle has said some hard things about the company but at this moment it has no feeling but that of gratitude towards it. There is not local business enough for both boats and the company will have learned by this time that no inducements they could offer is sufficient to buy up a community united almost as one man in support of their own boat. If the company gives us the river (and we'll have it whether or no) it can have the railroad and our blessing with it, which itself is no small thing.
