WEEKLY NITAUIS GAZETTE. Oorvallis, Aug. 12, 1881. -EDITED BY- YAVriS & WOODCOCK, ATTORNEYS AT LAW. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON CQurtTY TH LAST RELIC OF BARBARISM, Jofygamy, with all of its hideous attendant crimes is fast growing to nlarraiu proportions and is not con filled to U'ah, where it was for many years partially secluded, but has for some years been gradually spreading CO the snrronnding territories. And yet our government officials, whose duty it has ever been to see that the laws were duly executed, have continually stood by and with their knowledge cf the crimes com mitted by this influence, and their failure to put a stop to them, we cannot refrain from, in one sense, regarding them as particepts crimi uis. Because if they had taken hold of it actively and promptly and dealt with it as they would with other crimes, and as their sworn offi--cial duties required them to do, this evil would have been banished from among us years ago. We sometimes find these questions raised in some inaugural address, but the thought of it appears to be soon lost siarht of after it enters this important docu ment, to there slumber until some thing else transpires to again suggest it. The American people are loo apt to neglect the correctian of any evil until it becomes so extensive that its vil consequences are brought im mediately to the notice of the whole eountrv. Whin this condition of affairs is brought about, the evil sought to be remedied has probably tecomo so extensive that war and much bloodshed is liable to take place before it can be eradicated. It seems like the delay in these things probably occur because our senators and representatives in Con jjress no doubt await action until the Sentiment of the people generally de- uiaud of them to act, when frequently it would be better for the country if they should agitate the question be fore the people became fully aroused to a realization of the evil. The head quarters of this system is estab lished on the Pacific slope, where also is situated the new fields through which it is so fastly spreading. It will therefore no doubt sooner or later, devolve upon our Pacific Coast .senators and representatives to first take hold of this question. We do not see any good reason why it would not be strictly in keep ing with good propriety for some of Oregon's representatives to immor talize their fair name by starting the ball to rolling in the halls of Con gress which will eventually eradicate polygamy from among us. The following we take from the. New York Graphic of July 28, 1881 : Thre have lately been purchased in England and Germany for this and next month's shipment, by steamers to the Pacifi: coast, six thousand tons of Krnpp's, Barrow's and Mid--dleborough best steel rails for the Oregon Pacific Railroad Company, that could not be procured from American mills for the same delivery, en if steamers could have been procured at any admissable rates to transport the steel rails to Oregon. And other parlies have been driven to foreign markets for the same cause and for shipment to Sruthern ports during the ensuing two months." ECONOMY IN POSTAL AFFAIRS, Second Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Elmer reports the reduction in Star route and steamboat mail ser vice during July to be $314,604, and that the full amount of savings in that line by reductions and discon tinuances since March 4th is $1,381, 442. This is surely encouraging to the American people to know that the country is in the hands of a great party wlmse leaders are continually proceeding with investigations for the purpose of putting a stop to the frauds and leakages practiced upon the Nation's purse. Since the Presi dent' was shot all attention has been turned' to his -condition and the prob ability of his-recovery. So much so that but little news has come from the East for the last mouth to in form ns of what is oing on in re gard to investigations of the Star route frauds, but it is to be hoped that investigations have proceeded regularly and effectually. - Vassar has one smart girl who will In the h' reatter be heard of in wo tfnaii'H rights societies. She described siraw" as being a hollow thing with a i n cent rna.n on. one end of it and a t wentv cent drink 'on the other end. THE NEXT DECADE OR THE PACIFIC COAST, The next ten yean will witness an extraordinary development on the Pacific Coast. Nearly all the great railroad enterprises which are now prosecuted are west of the Missouri River, and they include consolida tions or direct lines which reach to the Pacific Coast. It is said that Jay Gould's programme embraces about 7000 miles of railroad west of the Missouri Uiver. The Northern Pacific embraces with branches about 1000 mtles. The Southern Pacific with branches nearly as much more. The Atchison, Toprka and Santa Fe, with its western extension under the name of the Atlantic and Pacific, not less than 3000 miles. These roads, with the mimeiotii short ones, includ ing the narrow-gauges, will grid iron the whole country. How does it happen that all the great railroad en terprises of the day are looking to this coast for termini? The fact in there is an undeveloped country. There is vast natural wealth here which railroads will make accessible. The new West is between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific" Coast. This is the Empire which is just be ginning to feel the thrill of a new life. Capitalists are traversing this whole vast rtgion, from Mexico to Alaska. There is no lack of money. The inquiry is fot business that will pay. Of course, railroad building juet now ie an attractive business. The San Francisco " Bulletin " thinks that when sedate citizens rub their hands and say, "There will be stirring limes here during the next ten years," it is time to look for the evidence. The vast railroad develop ment is one evidence. The revival of shipping interests is another. The favor which new manufacturing en terprises meet, is an additional one. No other part of the country to day presents such grand opportunities for enterprise as the territory known as the Pacific Coast the long belt which is between the Sierra Range and the ocean, stretching from Mexi co to Paget Sound. That is the country of the fhturc of railroads, of fleets of merchant ships, of vast wheat production, of a mining de velopment immensely greater than has ever been known. This is the country, too, which has lost nothing by a decade of quiet years, during which time the prevalent expression has been that business was dull. There is no "boom" to day, only the healthy signs of the new life. A country large enough to support thirty million people is comparatively empty with less than two million in it. The mere fact that there is so much room is an attraction. It is onlv a little while since a semi month ly 6termer brought thu news from the Atlantic States. Then came the Pony Express, afterwards the tele graph, and then the great continental railroad. And now a railroad scheme embracing three or four thousand miles is hardly mire lhan the wonder of a single da'. Idaho aspires to a railroad, and to that end articles of incorporation of the Idaho, Clearwater and Montana Transportation Company have been filed in the First District in the Ter ritory. The purpose is to build a railroad and tejeg aph line from Lew iston via the Clearwater pass of the Bitter Root Mountains lo intersi-ct the Utah Northern Railroad. The company also proposes to build from Lewiston via the Snake and Grand Rondo riven to La Grande, Oregon, a distance of 100 miles. They further propose to build a railroad and tele graph line from Lewiston north via the Potlach, South Palouse, Four Mile, North Palouse, Cedar Creek, Pine Creek and Fork Creek valleys, and th outlet of Coeurd'Alene Lake, the fast portion of the Spokan I plainsdivision to intersect the North ern Pacific near Westwood. They alto propose to construct, equip and operate steamboats on the Snake, Clearwater and Columbia rjvers in connection with their railroads. They claim tor these routes great advanta ges over any other lines for the char acter of the country through trhioh they pass for easy grades and cheap ness of construction. It is claimed that Eastern capital can be procured to build the lines of rood projected, and that preliminaiy surveys will soon be made. Tacoma Ledger. . The king of Siam has recently promoted his youngest full brother, Prince Choujah, to one of the high est political offices in the realm, and conferred upon him the eminent title of Krom Hluang Bhanuphantiwonge Woradesb. tVe extend our sympa thy to the Prince, and hope that he will survive this terrible affliction. "A DAY AFTER THE FAIR." We clip from the "Daily Standard" the following very appropriate edi torial on the improvements at Ya quina Bay, which very evidently ex hibits the fact that the present editors of that paper have the independence to say what they mear, regardless of surrounding influences. This article will appropriately apply to a few other papers in the State as well as to the "Port Orford Post ': There is a vein of Jealousy running throurh an editorial in the last, issue of the Port Orford Post that ridicules the idea of Yaqnina Bay with its shoals ever becoming a port of any pretensions, that if it had been treated fairly and the desire to show the ad vantages of Port Orford not been quite st prominently pushed forward, a case not altogether bad might have been made out. However, at a time 'ike this, when surveyors and con tractors are at work on the road to Yaqnina Bay and the statement pos itively made that track is now afloat for that enterprise, the attack of our j envious contemporary on the coast is I ill-timed and as small as its own jour j nalislic dimensions. If it be true, as j stated, that Yaquina Bay "must al- j ways he a shallow harlior at the very hest such a one as deep water ves sels will never can never enter," the "Port Orrord Post'' should have made it apparent long ago, and be fore intelligent men, who have doubt less looked before leaping, had in vested their money in a railroad, to that point on the coast anil had forced the preliminary work into practical shape. It ill becomes a coast paper, or any other paper in Oregon, to find fault with and try to place obstacle in the way of an enterprise that is now well undei way and its sea ter minus definitely settled upon. If the selection of Yaqnina Bay was a mis lake on the part of the parties inter ested in running the railroad from the heart of the Willamette Valley by a direct and short route to tide water, it is too late to flaunt it in their faces now. The incorporators must make the most of it, and it is the true course of every honest prper in Oregon to help the venture by en couraging words rather than aim to retard it by derision and post mortem arguments. Mr. Alexander Sinclair, editor of the Glasgow Herald, who has been making an extensive lour of the Uni ted States, going so far West as the Rocky mountains, says the dcsii'e to emigrate from Scotland to the United States is more so than formerly, especially among the better class of farmers-men who have a little money. There is a feeling of independence growing up, a desire to own land for themselves, that pervades all the members of the Scottish farming com munity, so that as soon as they can get what they consider undoubted information about the farming lands of this country, and make sure where is the best place to go, they will come over in large numbers. i , - One of the first auts of the depart ment of agriculture and commerce just established in Japan was to issue instructions to the various prefects and local authorities requiring them to render all possible assistance in the way of supplying models, books, etc., to the artist artisans. The class of workmen, it is said, has for the most part been without these appli ances for a considerable time, but the government, is at length aroused to the necessity of reviving, if possible, the spirit and technical excellence of the ancient art. If a man cannot be cured by smok ing he is less susceptible than a ham. Professor Riley, of the United States entomologist commission, says locusts cannot do any damage except to voting fruit trees, in the limbs of which they deposit their eggs. He says the report that the locusts sting hunvin beings is a fallacy; that a species of digger wasp feed, on these young locusts and people have been stung by these wasps, from which the belief has sprung that locusts sting. He says the locusts will sud denly disappear before long. A man who supposed to have robbed the overland stage near Soul's Rest on the Boise road of Wells Fargo Go's express box bas been captured, and lodged in jail to await investigation. Mrs. Martha Williams, mother of Mrs. A. Noltner, died at her residence in Polk county on Sunday, the 7th inst., at the age of 74 years and five months. She came to this State in 1845 with her husband, who died in 1865, and located on the place where she died. The passenger war on the Columbia has not come to an end, despite our item of yes terday, which was given us by one of the officers of the opposition company. The Fleetwood has just sent out circulars to country merchants soliciting freight, and Capt. Scott announces his intention to keep the contest up as long as there are people to transport and freight to carry. --Standard. At the present time there are 16 ships in port, all bat four of them being British and foreign. The majority have been secured to load in wheat for the U. K. at good charter rates. Standard. Three ships are now lying in mid stream off the O'. R. & N. Co.'s lower dock dis charging iron for the railway. As soon as the discharge is completed the ships will be brought to the city wharves and loaded with wheat. Standard. TELEGRAMS, Chicago, Aug. 6 The convention of Irishmen continued their session through out the day and evening and at midnight they are still sitting with sealed doors. Rev Geo G. Betts, of St. Louis, is chairman of the meeting. Delegates are present under assumed names from Glascow, Cork, Dubliu and several English cities. The delegates are united iu denying that they represent the dynamite idea, but agree that they are willing to use even that dire agent against the actual array of occupation. It is rumored that postmaster general James intends resigning to accept the presi dency of the Anathomical Loan anil Trust company to be organized by Vanderbilt. It is confirmed that Gen. Chalmers will be the green-hack candidate in Mississippi for senator against Lamar. Oraville, Cal, Aug. 7. J. T. Noakes, who murdered A. J. Ci-um, about throe weeks ago at Chico, was taken from jail this morning by a posse of armed and masked men and conveyed to Cram's old place, about ten miles from here, on the road tu Ghico, and there hung by the neck to a limb of a large oak tree. The Post's Washington special says it . is reported that instructions have been received from Chinese governments, modifying the original order for the return of the Chinese students in this country. There is a sus picion that the refusal of our government, to permit Chinese youth to attend our mil itary schools in larg numbers, had some thing to do with the recent action of the home government.

The people of Feiii more, Wis., are terribly excited over a gen uine case of Asiatic cholera which resulted fatally in that village Saturday. Lynchburg. Va. , Ang. 9. All republican leaders in the state are here to atteud state contention. Chairman Cochran secured one hall, and the Mahone republicans, anticipat ing a split, secured another. It is thought if the straightouts make things too warm, the coalitionists will retire to their own hall. Mahone s partisans have the greatest number of the more influential republicans including government officers. Philadelphia, Aug. 9. Ledzer's New York Special: The so-called anti-monopo lists are determined to make an impression in the fall electious and to that end are about to call a state convention at Utica on or about the 20th of thi3 month.

A dozen cases of smallpox in Sydney or iginated in a Chinese house. Fresh cases of smallpox, which occured during the past few days, renewed the alarm. There are now about a dozen infected houses in the city and suburb, each being guarded by a constable. Washington, Aug. 9 Minister Foster writes to -the department of state, under date of July 18th: The Russian wheat crop is likely to be one of the largest ever raised in the empire, and thcexport promises to be much greater than usual. It is stated that in the districts tributary- to the port of O'dessa, the yield is likely to ba so that farmers think they could dispense with harvests for four years to come. Advices from Tanganrag aud Caucasus, show the promise of crops to be equal to that of 1874, one of the largest ever kuown in Russia, and advices from Moscow affirm this. It is thowght the harvest in southern Russia will be the largest they have had for 20 years. Harvest in central Russia, while not so enormous, will yield a splendid crop of an excellent quality. In south provinces the grain is already cut. Further north it is still subject to damage incident to bad weather and from insects. From Moscow, which is the great commercial center of Russia, it is reported that all branches of business are beginning to revive and flour ish after a lone season of depression, solely on the prospects of an abundant harvest. Dublin, Ang. 9. Preparations are pro gressing to deal with the new state of things caused by the passage of the land bill. The land league and land committee will care folly test and defend the. cases of struggling landlords who oould not afford an appeal.

It having become necessary to make a further onetime: to facilitate the escape of pus, we took advantage of the im proved condition ot tne president tnis morn ing shortly alter tne morning nuuetin was issued. He was etherized. The incision extended downward and toward, and a counter opening was made into tra;k of the ball below tne margin or tne twentn no, which it is believed will effect the desired object. He bore the operation well, and has now recovered from the effects of ether ization and is in excellent condition. As soon as the patient had been put under the influence of ether, a long and slightly curved instrument was introduced into the woniid, pushed hetween the ribs and carried downward along the track of the bullet until its end could be felt below the last rib fom the outside. Holding this instru ment in the wound as a guide. Dr. Agnew then made a counter incision below the twelfth rib, cutting directly through the integument untill his knife met the end of the first mentioned instrument at the point where he wished to intersect the track of the ball. The operation was not a dificult or dangerous one and the patient bore both it and the etherization extremely well. There ia now an opening to the deeper parts of the wound which does not pass between the ribs and which cau always be kept free and unobstructed, aud no further trouble from accumulation of pus is anticipated. New York, Aug. 9. The Tribune's Wash ington correspondent had interviews with lira. Hamilton and Agnew and Gen, Swayne as to the president's condition since the scrgieaf operation yesterday, and all are sat isfied with the condition of affairs and ex press themselves that the patient will recov er; Dr. Hamilton said if he had any doubt about it he would not leave for home.
