Wo second the motion raado by the Asotin Sentinel that mass meetings be called all over eastern Washington and suitable resolutions passed praying for largo appropriations for the opening of the Columbia rivor. If tbo people were to make the same noisy demonstration in this connection that was mado over the forfeiture proposition a result would prob ably be accomplished which would be of incalculable benefit to the eastern coun ties. JJy all moaus let us petition that the work be done on the contract plan. Colfax Gazette. AVe are glad to see the press wheel ing into line in favor of opening the Columbia river to free navigation, and ive have noticed articles favoring the project in the columns of papers from the month of the river to its highest navigable waters. The Columbia is the river of the northwest. There is not a citizen laboring to make ti livelihood, from the pan-handle of Idaho to the west ern coast of Oregon, but would be di rectly benefited by the removal of im pediments to navigation in the Co lumbia. The farming sections of northern Idaho, eastern "Wasuington and Oregon have a right to demand liberal appropriations for the opening of this great highway of commerce. It furnishes an outlet a great high way to the sea to every community within a radius of 300,000 square miles. For years its waters have been controlled by corporations made wealthy by government land grants, and the oppressed people in a rich agri cultural country have groaned under excessive freights aud fares. Efforts have been made to construct locks at the Cascades during the last few years, but through railroad influ ences, the appropriations have been so small that little effective work has been done. The spirit of the people is fully aroused to the tyranny of corporations, and the time has come for them to assert their rights and demand of their representatives in cougress good, earnest work in their behalf. Landlordism in Ireland has not been more oppressive to tenants than railroad control of the choicest parcels of land of the public domain in Oregon" and Washington to the American settler. The Dalles and Walla Walla are not alone interested in opening the Columbia river. Ev ery hamlet, town and city in the northwest, east of the Cascades, will be alike benefited in removing obsta cles to nvaigation in this great river, which together with its tributaries, drain the country from the British boundary to the Oregon line. We heartily endorse the plan of the Sentinel and Gazette that mass meetings should beheld and resolu tions passed praying for large appro priations for opening the Columbia river. It some such action should be taken, congress would awake to the realization of the fact those interest ed in having the Columbia river a com mercial highway were not a mere few, but the whole population of the great northwest, whose rich lands and nat ural resources are sufficient to sup port millions. The above from The Dalles Times Mountaineer shows that the people of that section are falling into line. The Astorian" will continue to urge this measure and by coopE-ralion on the part of those who are equally in terested in the matter we can have a free river. Our senator and repre sentative are 'doing what they can; it is for eastern Oregon to see that equal effort is made there. "A free river" from The Dalles to the ocoan is of more importance to the people along its banks than what clique or combination shall succeed at Salem. The counterfeiting of Columbia salmon brands in California leads to another phase of. the swindle. Cali fornians are now counterfeiting stand ard brands of California fruits, and tbo California packers of a good arti cle naturally object to such piracy. They demand that the legislature of that state shall make such imitation a criminal offense. 'Tis a good idea; when put in practice let it include salmon as.woll as fruit Pjiofessor Wintebs, the French scientist, committed suicide because he could not discover to his satisfac tionwhat mado the wind blow. Othet men have done the same thing who failed to solve the problem of how to raise the wind. ' The .proprietor of the New York World cleared $150,000 in '81 - NEW TO-DAY.
