CANALS , ARE POPULAR.
The great waterways of this country
re capable of a wonderful growth and
improvement. The recent disasters
pon the Mississippi should be guarded
Against as much as circumstances will
llow. And, speaking of the Mississippi,
the day is not distant when its northern
arm will be connected with onr inland
oceans and a ship may sail from New
Orleans to Chicago. Thn will come
the Nicaragua canal, by which that
same vessel may proceed directly into
the Pacific and down the western coast
of South America. There is no donbt
that a shiD canal will be cut from the
lakes to the Atlantic. Congress has al
ready been asked to provide for surveys
and make estimates, and when Brother
Jonathan gets so far the end is assured,
Canada is enlarging those waterways
which would admit British war vessels
from the St. Lawrence river to these
lakes, and at present we have no a venae
. of approach. Under these conditions,
in a few years from date, the grey
honnds of the ocean, will traverse lakes
Erie, Huron, Michigan and Superior,
ancnoring in Chicago and Dulutli. . A
-direct connection via the enlarged Erie
canal and the Hudson river will open
up another stream for traffic to New
York. Talk of ship building and re
vived 'maritime interests! What will
people behold who live another fifty
years? That not only railway but naval
supremacy belongs to this republic, and
that supremacy will entail a commercial
Importance which today is only feebly
shallowed.
The litigation between lawyer Goode
and Alex Berry of Condon, still boils
with unabated fury. Berry moved to
Marion county about three weeksago,
taking along a few head of horses on
-which Goode claims to hold a mortgage.
Last week he had Berry arrested on a
charge of larceny by bailee, and Consta
ble Carlisle went down to Salem and
toroueht him back to Arlington. The
Globe says Berry demanded a trial, and
as Goode did not appear to conduct the
prosecution, Squire Zeigler dismissed
the case and Berrv was turned loose.
Thus poor old Gilliam is "in for it'
again to the tune of several hundred
dollars unnecessaay expense. It would
be a Brand thing for the country if the
law compelled iroeeciuin witnesses in
auch cases to give bonds for the costs,
A Washington ' dispatch 'informs ns"
that Mr. Hermann has obtained a de
cision from the interior department
which is of much interest to settlers
upon ansurveyed lauds within railroad
land grants.' A number of settlers in
Oregon, residing within the unsurveyed
indemnity limits of the Oregon and Cali
fornia road, in the Willamette valley,
had been denied the right to file their
claims in the local land office upon the
day the plats of survey were filed in
that office, and these settlers submitted
their case to Mr. Hermann, who ap
peared for the settlers in the depart
ment. The department now' decides
that the order of restoration made
August 15, 1887, which was-a revocation
of the indemnity withdrawal as to that
grant, embraces the nnsnrveyed as well
as surveyed lands within the indemnity
withdrawal, and that any qualified set
tler thereupon, previous to the filing of
lists of selections by the railroad com
pany, is entitled to the land.
People on the east side of the cascade
mountains, anywhere within a reason
able distance of the Barlow road, will all
sign a petition to the legislature for a
renewal of the charter to the road com
pany. They realize that if it was not
for the Barlow road company there
would be no road, and without the r.uid
there is a great many people who would
be practically shut out from the valley.
It would be money in the pockets of
l-ebanoii, Albany. Salem, Oregon city,
and seifish Portland, to make it a free
first class road : but thev will never do
' A peculiar political incident has just
been reported from Illinois. It was one
of the funniest complications that the
postoffice department has ever exper
ienced. The town had a German demo
crat as postmaster under Mr. Cleveland.
When Harrison was elected he was suc
ceeded by a republican postmaster, who
died, and the office was then turned
over to the widow. "When Cleveland
was elected last fall the German demo
crat thought that he also had been re
elected postmaster. ' He appeared at the
postoffice with a wagon and persuaded
the postmistress to-allow him to remove
the effects of the office to his place. Me
has since been running affairs, fully con
vinced that Cleveland's re-election re
stored him as postmaster. Represent
tive Hopkins reported the fact to the
postoffine department and an inspector
was detailed to restore the postmistress
to her rights.
it.
Speaker Crisp is out in an interview
in which he declares for an extra session
of congress and states his reasons, which
are much the same as those of other
democrats who favor an extra session.
Why an extra session should De held is
not of as much importance as the fact
that he tomes ont squarely for it. It is
said that Speaker Crisp will be able to
manipulate the present house so as to
force an extra session if he so desires.
'Whether ne will do so or not is another
question.
Congress has adjourned for the hoi
days, and will not reassemble until the
- middle of the first week of January.
while not a great deal has been accom
- plished thus far, the arrangement of the
appropriation bills is said to be well
fftnder way, and their passage will be the
principal work with which congress will
deal until its adjournment with the in
coming of the new administration.
More than this is not expected, as con
gress at the short session rarely finds
.lime for general legislation.
At a fire at the residence of Gen. Floyd
. Aspinaall, in New York on the 22d, the
crowd which gathered soon had the op
portunity to see Mrs. Aspinwall.a hand
some woman, perched on the roof of a
bay window at the third story, attired
in a wrapper, calmly hugging a jewel
case containing jewels valued at 50,000.
She was finally rescued, nearly dead,
'. but will survive. .
Enough has leaked out in relation to
the' proposed new tariff sheet of the
Great Northern to inspire much enthu
siasm in Spokane. That city is to have
rates which will enable her to hold a
field distinctively her own. Where she
bad controlling competition before she
will in future have practically exclusive
away ; and where she has bad no oppor
tunities in the past, she will now have a
free field of competition. .
It - was thought the extraordinary
measures taken by the authorities wonld
prevent another outbreak of cholera in
he spring at Hamburg, but indications
. ow point to a recurrence of the disease
iit epidemic form when warm weather
aeta in.
It may be interesting for local mem
bers of the order to know that the Penn
sylvania Odd Fellows pay on an average
4 every day in the yer for the relief
wt their members, widow and Orphans.
A Boston dispatch says the collector
of that port has received a sweeping or
der from the treasury department at
Washington, concerning the importation
of rags. The order absolutely prohibits
the importation of rags from Paris,
Rouen, Havre, Marseilles, Cherbourg,
Dunkirk and Lorient, in France; all
ports and places in Russia, Netherlands,
Belgium, Austro-Hungary (except
Trieste), Hamburg, Alcona and Kiewi.,
inv Germany. All other places where
cholera is known to be prevailing or may
nerealter prevail will fie included in the
list.
A glance over the country fnrnishes
sufficient i-viiience in proof of the propo
sition that he who conducts his farming
in a diversified manner invariably reaps
good profits. He raises everything that
can be raised on a farm. Ii oie kind of
produce finds a sluggish market, the
others are certain to. make up for the
ioss. He sells eags, butter, meat, fruit
and vegetables, besides wheat and bar- i
ley and oats. As a result there is per
haps no man in the country more pros
perous than" the man who farms in this
wav.
The latest -respecting the Panama
canal scandal in Paris is to the effect
that the book containing copies of the
correspondence with Herz and Anton
relating to votes in the senate and
chamber of deputies in behalf of the
Panama canal scheme, found in the
office of the Panama canal company, is
said to compromise a large number o!
senators and deputies. There are let
ters demanding money, together with
the rates on which the payment was
made. It will be the basis of additional
prosecution. It establishes the fact of
a blackmailer and go-between in the
corruption of the legislators.
The usual inquiry is: "When will
work be commenced at the cascade canal
ana locks ' Up this way the answer
is: when? The Oregonian 'sometime
Mince said: "'After the close of' the
rainy season." At Cascade Locks that
may be May. Then the water will be
coming up too high for work. "The
Lord only knows when work will be
gin," suggests a Brother, ask Him. We
give it up. This would be a suitable
topic for discussion by The Dalles pro
posed Bureau of Information. Hurry
up the bureau. .
The strong advantage of the French
government lies in the conflict which
always springs up between the Bona-:
partisis and the royalists of the old
regime whenever the republic' shows
signs of weakness. - Either prefers the
republic to the other, and both know
each other. The indications are now
strong that the present government has
the army, the navy and the masses well
under control, and that it will be able to
subdue any revolutionary movement
which the opposition may be capable of
developing.
The present snow storm has probably
played havoc with freshly ripened ber
ries which were .to hare been plucked
from vines west of the. mountains on
New Year's day. Notwithstanding this
there is consolation in the thought that
there are but few states in the latitude
of Oregon producing ripe strawberries
and raspberries up to the middle of
December, as this state did.
Secretary Foster will resign his port
folio before leaving for Paris to act as
agent for the United States before the
Behring sea arbitrators, who meet on
February 28d. As only three weeks will
elapse between his departure and the
end of the present administration the
vacancy will not be filled.
The use of nickel in armor-plates, and
the probable increased demand, has
stimulated the search for the metal
long.known to exist in the Black Hills,
and a South Dakota dispatch says Wood
Thurlow, of London, while in Rapid
City a few weeks sine, invested in
numerous claims in Burnt ranch dis
trict, near there, aud his property is
now under development. Very rich
ppecimens from large deposits near Har
ney were brought in yesterday. The
assays show a large per cent, of nickel
and from $5 to $10 gold per ton. Numer
ous claims have been staked along the
nickel ledges. , .
Report coiues from Washington to the
effect that a number of ranchmen and
other residents of Mexico on the Rio
Grande border ;! tils claims for dam
ages through the iepredationsof bandies
and tlif i-Hik-d revolutionists from
Texas. These bandits, while claiming
to be of a political character, are noth
ing less than freebooters. They intimi
date settlers, take horses, cattle or what
ever they see fit to appropriate. These
claims, it is understood, will bp formally
presented to the United States govern
ment for indemnity on the ground , that
the United States Is responsible for jiot
suppressing the outlawry which origi
nated in its territorv. -

A queer story is told by the Cincinnati
Times-Star as the failure of a Clermont
county merchant a few weeks ago.
While in that city he was attracted by
the watches displayed in a pawn shop
window, and steeped inside to examine
them. Two or three persons from bis
village happened to pass and saw him.
They went home and gossiped about the
matter. A report was spread that he
was hard up, and had been pawning bis
watch in Cincinnati. The report injured
his business, and his creditors also be
gan to press him. In a short time he
was compelled to make an assignment.

The Hillsboro Independent has a
strong article criticizing some of the
proposed amendments to the tax laws of
the state advocated by the Portland
chamber of commerce. That body seems
to have two ideas which it calls reforms ;
one to repeal the mortgage tax law, the
other to exempt notes and accounts from
assessment. The correspondence -
ferred to discusses those points.
