Next June the commonwealth will choose a rep resentative who will take his seat in the National legislature in December 1889. Already different sections of the state are being heard from, and Ee pnblicans and Democrats are express ing their choice for the congressional representative in the 51st congress. Astoria, Clatsop county, north western Oregon, and the whole state are greatly interested in the matter of water ways: in the opening of the Co lumbia river. The grain producing area could be increased five fold by a better system of transportation from the Blue mountains down the Colum bia river grade. It is necessary to have a man in the lower house who understands this; who is heart and soul for the practical advancement of the idea, and who realizes the material need of earnest effort toward success in that direction. The man who can stand on that platform and work for a free river, for requisite improvements from the Snake to the sea, will have our hearty support In aiding the proper im provement of tho Columbia, he aids the whole state. In Hon. C. W. Fulton, of this city, we have such a man, and could he be induced to accept tho nomination from the Republican party, he would, we believe, mako a winning fight and be of value as a representative in con gress. But as he positively and unequivo cally declines to allow his name to be used in connection with the nomina tion and resolves to devote his talents and energies exclusively to the pur suance of his profession, wo must look elsewhere for some man to represent Oregon in the lower house. ' Various Missouri and Illinois pa pers are received at this office contain- ing articles intimating that the Amer ican people are going to demand that Robert T. Lincoln shall be elected president next November. Robert should take that little boom in: it may cet frost bitten. Ho is tho son of a great man; ho was fortunate in his choice of a father; but thore are no hereditary claims in this country. Mr. L. is wasting his efforts in that line. The secretary of the interior has sent to the senate a statement in re gard to the amount of land each of the states has received from the United States for school purpeses: Califor nia has received 5,610,702 acres; Ne vada, 3,903,462 acres; Oregon, 3,387,520 acres. If the older states receive the amount in proportion to that given the newer states in tho west, it would take 26,474,683 acres. Skamokawa Note. Skamokawa, Feb. 7, 18S8.

Although Portland is dependent on the railroads, as the Oregonian so closely demonstrated yesterday, it now appears, according to a corre spondent of that paper that the rail road company can not furnish the needed assistance; "or rather it will not be permitted to do it." "'If I am correctly informed," he says, "the O. R. & N. company's road has been jointly leased to the Union andNorth ern Pacific companies. The agree ment lacks only the formal approval of the directors of the O. R. &N. com pany, who live in Portland. After that is secured the Northern Pacifio company will say to the manager of the O. R. & N., 'you must not spend your money on bar or river towage because if you do you will injure the tramc on our road and prevent our building up the city of Tacoma It is necessary for us to nave a large city at the Pacific terminus of our road. We cannot let you do anything of that kind.' And the manager will have to obey. So they will have bot tled up the O.R.&N. Don't yon see? As certain as the joint lease be comes a fixed fact , so sure is it that the Northern Pacific will have the power to milk the O. R. &, N. of its traffic Tacoma News, 3. ' . . She Has Transposed the Letters. During the past few days many graduates of a prominent institution of learning who are resident in this city have received circulars asking for n statement of their accomplish ment since graduation. "Please write,'' is the request, "the official po sitions held by you, name the books you have written," etc., etc. One of these circulars which occasioned these reflections, was received by a young matron, who cleverly supplied the desired information as follews: "At graduation I received the degree A.
