The Qualla Battou Outrage.
Sixty-one years go next Sunday Feb
ruary 7, lS.il an American trading ship,
the Friendship, was loading spices in the
harbor of Q utilu Battoo, on the western side J
ot the island of Sumatra, when she was set
upou by the crew of a piratical Malay pep.
per boat ami captured. The captain, two
otBcers and four sailors of the Friendship
were at the time on shore weighing epper.
The first officer and two seamen were killed,
several others wounded, the ship plun
dered of f 11,0 in sv ie, a lot of opium and
every movable thing of value on board.
other American traders n captured the
Friendship before the JIalays succeeded in
running her ashore.
That was In-fore the electric telegrapher
ocean steam navigation so the news of the
outrage iiid not reach this country till the
Miceeedii'g August. However no time was
lost by the Jackson administration in send
ing an expedition to demand reparation,
and, if refused, to inflict proper punishment.
The United States frigate Potomac, in com
mand of commodore John l'ownes, wis sent
on this mission. Finding no responsible
government to negotiate with and no dispo
sition on the part of the piratical Malays to
make any sort of reparation a force of 250
men was landed which attacked and de
stroyed the fortifications and burned the
town. Oneiiunilied and fifty of the natives
were slain, including the chief rajah con
cerned in the murderous outrage on the
American ship This occurred one day less
than a year from the time the assault was
committed, and the swiftness and complete
ness of the chastisement served to make
similar offenses on the part of the people of
the Malayan archipelago unpopular for all
time to come.
The difference between that episode and
the recent occurrence in Chili consists
chiefly in the fact that the United States
recognized in Chili a responsible govern
ment capable of making reparation for the
injury inflicted. So this niatteras han
dled by diplomacy. But for all practical
purposes its effect will be the same in com
manding resct for the government and its
citizens.
Northwestern Wheat Production.
The report of the department of agricul
ture of the wheat yield of the country for
li!Jl shows it to have been ;U,7W.OOO bush
els, whereas the greatest previous yield was
512.7,OO0 in
In reference to the wheat yield of the
Northwest tlie reiort shows that Oregon
raised 13,H!.0'jO bushels of wheat on 092,055
acres of land and that the crop is valued at
$11,571,110 or not much less than $1.00 per
bushel. Washington's crop is put at 12,21(1,
000 bushels, $.0,101,775, and grown on 68S,
040 acres.
This means that Oregon grew 1,000,000
bushels of wheat more than Washington on
an area less by OjOO acres than Washington's
and that the crop of this state was valued
at over $2,000,000 more than the crop of
tht state north of us. The extra value is
accounted for by the fact that the Willam
ette valley wheat, being so near market, is
worth more on the farms than the product
east of the ui luntains.
About Conntry Roads.
There is nothing cheaper or more abund
ant than advice as to the best way to build
ceuntry roads unless it be instruction
about running a newspar. But much of
the road-building advice we hear here is
from people whose experience has been in a
climate and soil vastly different from our.
Of course there are some general facts that
apply to roads everywhere, but there are
many things peculiar to this country that
must be considered in any system of road
making undertaken.
Multnomah county has, as it should have,
the best roads in western Oregon. The ex-1
perienceof that county is of value herebe
canse the same conditions of soil and cli
mate are here. In speaking of the subject
County Judge Moreland told the Oregonian
that "there is only one kind of road that is
any good a road made of rock. It costs
from $5000 to $7000 a mile to make such a
road. The law allows only a 2-mill tax.
This will amount to $80,000 this year which
is not sufficient to go around, because all
the roads have to have some work done on
them to make them passable. We are mak
ing a few miles of good road every year, but
our means are limited. I had the connty
auryeyor look up the matter last week, and
he gave m tli number of miles ot road i
tlx county as 5tX is I hv already stated.
Prior to this last your litis county had no
gravel pits, no quarries and no atone
crashers. Wherever took gravel or
rwk w e had (o pay for it at so much load .
l-ast year we inaugurate! system of buy
ins gravel Wi ml rook quarries, ami we
also bought two stone crusher. As far as
invisible we are going to make good Mails
on the main thoroughfares."
It will be seen that rich Multnomah suf
fers in the saute way that Clackamas does--
J it is unable to do all the road-making at the i
; same time though, tlte people of ail sections

lies in the line that is about to In- inattgu- i "0l ll,,,,r willingnesato Into liolil, Thev
rated in this county. Multnomah has found
this to be the only practicable way to deal
with the subject and her experience should
save ns considerable trouble and expense.
Tun state convention of the Young Men's
republican club was held in Portland Thurs
day and Friday of last week. John I,. Aver,
who was looked upon as a political boss and
was therefore distasteful to the vast major
ity of the membership of the organization,
was dropped from the presidency. A new
constitution was adopted and the following
officers chosen: T. Jl. Tongue, president;
B. B. lee km a n, vice-president; I Peterson,
secretary; U. 11. Hughes, J. B. Kddy and
0. M. Idleman, executive committee. In
getting rid of Mr. Ayer's leadership the
convention merely pursued a course begun
in Oregon Citv at the meeting the preceding
Tuesday.
Thk Keeley Institute recently located at
Forest Grove has incorporated under the
state law with a capital of $.50,000. The ob
ject of the institution is to receive patients
for treatment and cure of the liquor, opium
and tobacco habits, or other nervous dis
eases, by the remedies and methods perfect
ed and used by Dr. Leslie K. Keeley. This
biehloride-of-gold treatment has already ef
fected a numberof cures in this state and it
is hoied that time shall prove it to I as
e'leotive as its friends claim it to be. The
world is sadly in need of a cure for drunk
enness.
Pi-rasast it is when fields are green and
winds are sort and low to plant fresh young
saplings and potatoes in the public parks
and then invite the cows and calves around
to see that the aforesaid saplings and Hita
toes don't poke holes in the sky.
PBESIDEST1AL BOOMS.
Boston Herald: A writer in the New
York Sun a)ostropliises Dave Hill thus:
" Hail to thee, thane of Glaraii!
Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor!
All hail, Macbeth, that shall be king hereafter."
All the same we believe that Macbeth
failed to get the nomination.
Detroit Tribune: Notwithstanding the
fact that Senator Cullom would like to be
president, the republicans of Illinois are
practically unanimous for Blaine. At the
great gathering of republicans at Chicago
yesterday expression of this feeling was
universal. Blaine is the enthusiastic choice
of the party everywhere.
Boston Herald: The movement to nomi
nate the Rev. Joseph Cook as the prohibi
tion candidate for the presidency starts In
Illinois. This looks like a clear usurpation
of a privilege that belongs to Massachusetts,
if there is any virtue in the favorite son
theory. Perhaps the Massachusetts prohi
bitionists may be permitted to second the
nomination.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL
San Francisco Call: The Wall-street
Journal represents an official of a leading
transcontinental railroad as saying that the
completion of the Nicaragua canal would
have a stimulating effect uou the business
of the transcontinental roads. It would, in
his estimation, build up the Pacific coast,
and thus make more business, of which
the railroads would get a share. He is also
reported as having arrived at the conclusion
that a waterway as a competitor to railroads
is a benefit rather than an injury. The
railroad manager finally suggests that " it
might be a good idea if all the leading na
tions of the world tok a certain percentage
of the stock for the sake of maintaining
peaceful relations between the countries."
This proposition suggests an abandonment
on the part of the American people of any
es)ee!al right to control the canal. The In
fluence of each nation in the management
would depend upon the amount of stock
held by it. If the stock were allotted, it is
probable that the leading nations would be
given an equal number of shares. The
United States would count as one, England
as one, France as one, Germany as one,
and possibly Russia, Italy and Austria as
one each. There might be seven sharehold
ers, in which six would have interests in
some respects adverse to those of the United
States. We do not think this plan would
work well. The proposed new waterway
will connect two oceans that bound the
United States on the east and west. It will
be far the shortest water route between our
Atlantic coast states and the Pacific coast
states. If the canal should fall into un
friendly hands it would he better for the
United States that it had never been built.
Treaties bind countries in time of peace.
They often make conditions which shall lie
observed in time of war. But in wartimes
tile law of self-preservation prevails. Some
pretext can always be found for breaking a
compact that it is inconvenient to keep.
The United States cannot trust any com
pact among nations in a matter so vital
as the neutrality of the shortest waterway
between the two American coasts.
