When the Portland papers first be gan to talk about a breakwater at the mouth of the Columbia, it was more in jest than otherwise, simply because Bro. Ireland, of the Astoria?!, advocated the measure. But finally the Portland Board of Trade, aftei declaring in favor of Port Orfoid, and entirely ignoring Cape Foul weather, concluded to put in its oar for the mouth of the Columbia. Portland tacvics on the breakwater question made a complete somersault, and all the great Portland Dailies, and the lesser lights, were a unit for the mouth of the Columbia. Last Saturday, the Oregonian contained another pithy leader on this subject opening thus: "A San Francisco paper, the Alta, thinks the Oregon delegation will make an effort at the next session of Congress for a break water at the mouth of the Columbia river, to cost ten or twenty millions The Oregonian does not deny that this is the programme of the Port land Board of Trade. In fact the tenor of its editorials indicate that such is the case. No one will deny that the Columbia river is a great channel of commerce, but it is patent, to the most casual observer, that it is inadequate to the increasing de mands of the commerce of this State Suppose that a breakwater should be constructed at the mouth of th& Col umbia, costing from "ten to twenty millions" of dollars, that will not make the Columbia river navigable, for deep sea vessels between Astoria and Portland. As a proof of this assertion, we quote the following editorial from the Portland Bee, of the 19th iust: "The expediency anil necessity of im proving our commercial facilities by the deepening ot the channel in necessary places between this city and Astoria is every year becoming more apparent. The figures furn ished by the Board of Trade in its recently published report are very significant, and the subject is one that demands earnest at tention. It is shown that we have an aver age of 18 feet of water at the docks in this city, and that to do an immense foreign business such as the requirements of our rapidly growing trade will shortly demand we must have from 20 to 22 feet. To enable vessels to load at our wharves to 20J feet at the lowest stage of water it is estimated by competent persons that an appropriation of 8250,000 understanding!- applied would be sufficient, whereas, as was shown by the report referred to the city of Glassgow to secure the very same stage of water, spent $29,000,000, receiving returns in a vast in crease of population and shipping facilities that brings the largest vessels constantly to its docks. This, it will readily be seen, is a matter of vital importance to the commer cial interests of this city and State, and is one which should be unceasingly agitated until the. proper pressure is brought to bear upon Congress that will secure it. Its value cannot be overestimated while the appro priation necessary to secure it is certainly, when compared to the benefits that will surely accrue, inconsiderable." a addition to the " ten or twenty millions" appropriation for the break water, and to make it available to Portland, the "fat duck" of the Oregonian, it will require another quarter of a million appropriation to improve the Columbia between As toria and Portland. Docs any sane man, outside of Portland, believe that any such appropriations can be secured for such purposes, when a better, cheaper, and more convenient outlet of the commerce of this State can be secured for a sum less than would be required to improve the Columbia river, say nothing, of the "ten or twenty millions" for the breakwater at the mouth of the Col umbia? The idea is preposterous. The Oregonian thinks our delega tion in Congress should have the chief of engineers order a special survey of the mouth of the Columbia by competent officersj and ignore the work of the Pacific Board of engin eers recently completed. The Portland Board of Trade,, rep resenting the capital of that city, sees a rival in Cape Foulweather, and Yaquina Bay, situated opposite the center of the State, and iu a direct line to the sea-with Eastern Oregon. It is the natural outlet ot the State to the ocean, and within 60 miles of the heart of the Willamette valley. It is a natural harbor of no mean im portance, and with small outlay, comparatively, could be made the safest and best harbor between San Francisco and the Straits of Fuca, and of sufficient capacity to meet the wants of our increasing commerce. In view of these facts, the right thing for our delegation in (Jor.gress to do, is to consult the interests ot the whole State, and not be govern ed by that august body, the Portland Board of Trade, or its mouth-piece, the Oregonian. Thousands,, instead of million", will give a good, safe harbor at Yaquina Bay, forever free from ice-blockades and shifting sand bars. Our delegation ia Congress thoaid not forget this. FREE TRADE VS. PROTECTION. To the Editor Gazette Dear Sir: In your last issue appeared an editorial headed " Protection vs. Free Trade." Without reference to any argument the article contained, I was not a little chagrined at the levity, or at least the careless manner in stating the position of the two par ties, for both are misrepresented. It seems to me that when a person un dertakes to instruct or to lead a com munity, to deal with a question of so much importance as the writer select edj personal self respect, if not na tional patriotism, would dictate noth ing less than a manly and an intelli gent treatment of the same. The reason for the question being agitated at this time, is on account of the vast improvements which are now beginning all over the state. These improvements will cost an im mense amount of money and will lay I upon the property of the state, much like a mortgage. For the principal and interest will be expected by those who loan the money for these im provements, and those who have the management of them will expect to derive from the use of the same, by the people, a tax, which will pay what we have before stated. In the work of collecting material to build a railroad the managers find st'eel lails, such as they desire, can not all be obtained iu the Eastern states, and are compelled to seek else where. These subsequently are found in England, and offers are made to furnish for the whole road at a cost of $28 per ton laid down on the wharf in Portland. But a law of our government says, no steel rails shall be brought into any port of the U. S. from a foreign port, without paying a tariff of $26 per ton upon the same. The result : The compa ny find they can purchase from the East rails at $2 or $3 per ton less than the cost from a foreign port with tariff added, are obliged to Jo so Here then in this transaction, gov ernment has not obtained one cent revenue, and the property of the state has a forced and an additional burthen to carry, by bavins inflated prices placed upon the rails, and this by the sanction of government. The parties pocketing the amount of tariff less probably $2 or $3 per ton, are the half dozen iron proprietors of some of the Eastern states. The question then is, is it right for the government, by its law, to make the products of one portion of the coun try pay tribute for the products of another portion ot the country, the government itself receiving no direct benefit in the transaction. The question as now stated, and as it works, changes it from a question of tariff to one of forced tribute for which there can be no law. The Free Trader does not plead for non revenue for governmental purposes, but objects to a compulsory building up of private interests at the public expense. It places itself upon high moral ground, upon equity, and to this end it enquires : " What is law, or at least what ought it to be? What is its rational and moral mis sion ? Is it not to hold the balance even between all rights, all liberties and all property ? Is it not to pre vent and to repress oppression and robbery wherever they are found ?" The falsity of the position of the protectionist may be seen in this case if it can be seen at all. It claims that this prohibitory duty is necessa ry in order that it may compete with foreign iron for a home market. Is the iron interest all the interest we have? Are there no other interests deserving recognition ? Have not the Oregon farmers to seek a foreign market for their production and have they not to meet competition there? Yet the government, fully aware of these tacts, says, by its legislation, if the Oregon farmer must have rail roads to convey his products to water or seaboard, for export, then to come in competition with Russian wheat which has been raised profitably at a cost of 15 cents per bushel,, he shall pay the American iron manufacturer $26 per ton more for rails than the same can be obtained in the market which purchases all the surplus food we raise. Is this then the "sagacity and statesmanship" we ought to look for? Is this the policy to bring a peaceful iuu.a giwwuH iuiure r can we ex pect, when we make the law to say the capital of the iron master is not only deserving protection, but be cause he puts the same to use, the farmer shall pay him tribute. But the farmer's capital, generally so small, is to be " taken from him-even that that he hath." This, then, as understood by the Free Trader is Spoliation the parent of communism. Sow not the wind that ye reap not the whirlwind. R, Gorvallis, Sept. 22, 1879. GENERAL GRANT'S RECEPTION. Very few men, in our nation, have been the recipients of such grand re ceptions as Gen. U. S. Grant. The demonstration in honor of his arrival in San Francisco, last Saturday, was one of the grandest displays ever made in that city. The procession embraced all the military and civic societies of that great city, and so lense was the throng that it was with difficulty a passage way could be opened for die same. The follow ing extract from a dispatch to the Oregonian will give something of a faint idea of the General's reception : Amid tremendous cheers of the crowd, discbarges of cannon, ringing of bells, and screaming of whistles, the procession start ed up Market street. Bonfires blazed at street corners, illuminations lit up every window, and the elare of Roman candles and electric lights made the broad thorough fare bright as day. Under a continuous archway of flags, banners and festooned draperies, the procession moved up aiarh.es to Montgomery, and turned down the latter street. Crowds blocked the sidewalks. Cheer after cheer rolled along the whole line of march, and almost drowned tne martial strains of the numerous bands. Broad en signs, tossed in the night wind, glowing with the light of fires, the glare of rockets and fire balls. A slight mist hovering over the citv reflected the light of the fireworks and illumination until the heavens seemed ablaze. Not only the streets on the line of march, but cross streets between Market and Montgomery avenue, were brjlliant with decorations. Even the Chinese quarter seemed to have the infection and from hun dreds of staffs the great dragon flag flaunt ed its fantastic blazonry, beside the stars and stripes. Continuing the march the pro cession moved throueh Montgomery to the avenue, then to Kearny street. Here if possible, the crowd was still more dense . ., . .. 1 1 1 j- 1 H ami entnii8iascic, ana ine uiapiay m iue works, electric lights and every conceivable means of illumination was of increased bril liancy. On arriving at Market street, the proces sion moving up a few blocks, counter march ed to the Palace Hotel. Here a magnificent arch, forty feet in height, spanned New Montgomery street, blazoned with national colors and bearing the inscription "Wel come to Grant. " At this point, the carriage containing General Grant was drawn up, while the procession marched in review, cheer after cheer rending the air as division after division passed by. On the conclusion of the review, the various organizations were dismissed and ueneral lirant was con ducted to his quarters in the Palace Hotel, which had been specially prepared and furn ished for the reception. All the streets lealing to the Palace were packed with dense throngs, through which the procession forced its wav with ereat difficulty. Thou sands were clamoring for admittance but the cordons of police at all entrances de nied ingress to all but those holding special permits to enter. At 10 o'clock the wide doors were thrown open and the barouche containing General Grant was driven within the building. He immediately dismounted and crowding his way through the packed mass of human be ings was hurried to his room. As he alight ed Madame Fabbri and a chorus of 500 voices opened from one of the balconies with an ode of welcome. The crowd rushed after Gen. Grant when he dismounted leaving the singers for a moment at most without an audience, but being stopped in their mad chase by a force of police who blocked the way, they returned to the court being reas sured by the announcement that the general would appear on one of the balconies after he hod time to lay off his overcoat. After the chorus was rendered General Grant, in response to repeated calls, appeared on the balcony on the fourth floor and bowed to the shouting crowd, immediately retiring. Still the enthusiastic populace thronged the court and refused to leave. Finally, Major Bryant announced that as soon as the gen eral had finished his dinner he would snow himself. In a few minutes, Gen. Grant ap peared amid deafening, loud and continued shouts. Mayor Bryant called the crowd to order, and the general mounting a chair which was passed over the heads of the sur rounding crowd, was again greeted with a succession of cheers. When the noise sub sided he addressed them as follows : " Fellow citizens of San Francisco : After twenty-five years absence I am glad to meet you and assure you of my cordial thanks for the kind greeting you have given me. I shall stay in your city long enough to greet you more lully. The general then withdrew amid prolong ed and prodigious cheering, and the crowd at length reluctantly scattered. TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY. A detachment of U. S. troops was defeat ed by Indians, on the 18th, near Hillboro, New Mexico, with a loss of ten killed and several wounded. During July. 50.035,280 gallons of petro leum was exported from United States ports, valued at 94,238,461. The president has reorgnized Juan B. Verd as consul for San Diego and its dependen cies. The ordnance department has telegraphed the commandant of the arsenal at Fort Un ion, Mexico, to issue arms and ammuni tion to the governor not to exceed 300, and one million rounds of cartridges. E. H. Walker, statistician of the New York produce exchange, in his weekly re port of outward movements of cereals from seaboard ports for the week ending the 17th, shows them larger than any week previous, amounting in wheat and flour to nearly 7, 000,000 bushels. Deliveries at Atlantic and Pacific ports during the last eight weeks of wheat and flour, have been about 50,000,000 bushels and exports about 40,000,000. The Boise Statesman has received several letters from prominent citizens in Weiser and Indian valleys, stating that the Indians raided those valleys last Sunday night, steal ing 17 head of fine horses from Ed. Jeweller in the upper valley, a lot from Joseph Bur ger in the middle valley and some from Wil kerson Bros. , in all over 60 head. Several bands are gone that cannot be found, and they were extremely bold, going through the valleys and near the houses, and shot many horses that the did not take, with arrows, some of which will die. The citizens are generally alarmed for their personal safety. Ten men have gone in pursuit, and report the Indians have so many horses that they make a big trail and are taking the same route they did after the raid they made last fall at the time Bill Turphy and party fol lowed them and were killed near Payette falls. The party in pursuit have sent back for provisions. The citizens who write these letters ask for troops to be sent to their set tlement. They fear the Indians will burn all the property in the valleys and murder the citizens. It is quite probable that they may do so, as this is the coveted country of the renegade Weisers. BEACH MINESJN OREGON. The beach mines along the Oregon coast, although woiked with vary ing success for some years past, seem to be inexhaustible ; but the gold is so fine that it is very difficult to save. Along the coast, in this county, sev eral claims are paying good wages, even with the inadequate means of saving the precious metal now in use. With proper means of saving the fine gold, our beach mining would become an important branch of in dustry in this county. In the Oregonian of recent date we find a Washington dispatch of the 17th inst., containing an opinion of Acting Commissioner Armstrong on the subject of titles to beach mines, which may be of interest to persons engaged in that business, as follows: Acting Commissioner Armstrong of the general land office has informed the U. 8. surveyor general at Portland, Oregon, that no mines Tying below high water mark on the ocean beach can be disposed of under u. es. law. Cuming to ubegon: In response to the numerous urgent invitations, it is now quite probable that Gen Grant will visit Oregon, while on this coast, which he greatly desires to, as will be seen from the following dis patch to the Portland papers : " It is quite probable that before General n i i .i ' i . ... , urant leaves wis coast ne win go to uregon, as he expresses a desire to- revisit his old stamping ground on the Columbia." ..... If-.. im j? ollowing mhp extract from a recent letter from General Grant: " The fact is, the Chinese question is not going to agitate the country long. The Chinese government is very anx ious to keep all their people at home, and, if not interfered with, they will stop immigration." If this predic tion of the General's shall be verified the people of tbe Pacific coast shall 3 v i ejuice uuu ue eiceeuing giaa. PACIFIC) COAST. Oregon. A telegraph office has been established at Cottage Grove, in Lane county. Mr. Uunday, of Lane county, has raised a corn stalk that is II feet 4 inches in length. Roseburg grows so that they have had to survey more land for the town to spread upon. A fellow named Henry Zeiker is in the Polk county jail for talking indecently to a little daughter of Mr. Graves. Immigrants from California in almost des titute circumstances have reached Roseburg and been assisted by the citizens. Layton Smith, the Riverside says, left a valuable horse hitched in the street at Inde- penpence, and when ready to go home could not find it. Christian College, Monmouth, was opened on the 14th under favorable circumstances, a large number of scholars being present from tnis .state and Washington Territory. The Linn county court has granted free scholarship in the State University to the following persons ; W. L Vawter, E. M. Hu lin, Chas. M. Elkins, Jennie Bardwell and Minnie Jr. Porter. The gross value of Yamhill county proper ty is $4,087,577; indebtedness, $1,269,695 ; exemptions, $252,624 ; and total taxable pro perty, $2,465, 2G8 ; number of poll taxes, $1,504. The tax lery for Yamhill county for the year 1879 has been fixed as follows ; State tax, 7 mills; county tax, 8i mills; school tax, 3 mills ; making a total of 171 mills 2J mills less than last year. Rev. Mr. Cornwall has resigned the pas torship of the C. P. church at Eugene, and Rev. Wooley has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Cornwall has accepted a call from Walla Walla. The J unction City dog law, recently or dained, puts a tax of $3 yearly upon each an imal, and allows the city marshal $4 for each one he kills. At this rate he can make mon ey by raising dogs for slaughter. A farmer living near Sublimity had a field of wheat which he thought was entirely ruined by rust, but which upon being thresh ed yielded twenty-five bushels to the acre of marketable grain. Following is a statement of the population of Independence, Polk Co. : Men, 153 ; wo men. 182 : bovs 148 : irirls. ifiO : tntal nonu- lation, 643. In North Independence there are 262, and in south Independence 391 ; total, 643. The Roseburg Flaindealer of last week contains an account of the flight of Dr. J. IX Cozad, a physician wlio has had a large prac tice in various parts of Douglas county for the last lew years, it is said that he com mitted a murder in Missouri several years ago : that officers were on his track, and he fled to escape them. Mr. Lightfoot walked in the darkness into an uncovered well at Independence last week, falling J2 feet and stnkmg on his feet. Strange to say no bones were broken, bu' Mr. Lightfoot received a very severe shak ing up. There was about three feet of wa ter in the well. A man named Williams working on the railroad bridge at the Luckiamute became dizzy and fell to the ground a distance of 15 feet, breaking one or two ribs on the right side, breaking one of the bones and dislo cating the other ol the lett wrist, and dislo eating the left elbow. He was also severely injured internally. The Albany Democrat says : The famous mineral springs at Sodaville are fast increas ing in popularity, and invalids are flocking there trom ail quarters, nearly au receive great benefit from drinking of its health giving waters, and the spring needs no other recommendation. It is rumored on our streets, says the Pendleton Independent, that the 0. S. N. Co. have removed their wharf boat from Umatilla landing, and hereafter intend to ship freight for points over the Blue Moun tains to their Blue mountain railroad depot, a few miles north of Weston. On and after the 15th day of September a passenger coach will be attached to the regular tram on the vv . v. ti. tc., the said train to leave Dayton at 4:30 o'clock : return ing, will arrive at 8:15 o'clock. From five to six car loads are arriving daily : and it is ex peeted when harvest is completed, to receive from 18 to 20 car loads per day. The men who were swindled out of money honestly earned while working for the de faulting contractor Ward on the west side ex tension, met at Independence a few days ago to dertermine upon what course to pursue. Among other resolutions- the following were PHILOMATH ITEMS The two stores are doing a very fair busi ness. Business is lively here. There are quite a number of new buildings being built. Mrs. Enos i3 slowly recovering from a very severe attack of cholera morbus. Considerable sickness through the coun try, but all are recovering, so far as heard from. Harvesting is about over rust and rain has injured grain considerably, in this sec tion. The sound of the industrious blacksmith's hammer can ever be heard from morn till late in the evening. The Crucible speaks for its self needs no comment. J. B. Horner is a live, local editor. Everybody will have to economize, and learn to live cheap, and hope for a better time and tor better crops next year. C. B. Well's shadow is seen upon our streets he lost 20 pounds avoirdupois weight, in eight day's sickness. The Boarding Hall is in full blast come early, so as to secure rooms, ever keeping in view the old adage, that delays are dan gerous. Mrs. Stroup and her two daughters, have just recovered from a severe spell of typhoid fever. Dr. Whitney was the attending physician he cures everybody! The school in the College commenced rather favorably, new students are coming to attend school. It is expected there will be a full school this winter. We are going to have a brand splinter new milliner aud dress maker's shop. Miss Molhe Williams and Miss .Laura ihonipsou are to be the proprietors. Look out for a full stock of fall goods. Bird Wells sold thirty feet fronting Main street, to N. A. Thompson, for $100 00, cash, upon which he intends to build a new drug store, this fall. Success to the new enterprising young man. The district school has been in operation two weeks, with splendid success the at tendance has been good- the number of students, in daily attendance, being from 33 to ST. W e have an efficient teacher, and ev erything looks flattering, for a good school. The morals of our town are in a high state of preservation, at present, excepting, now and then, you will hear an oath sung out at some neighbor's swine, for poking his proboscis into some one s place ot business. You people who live m an incorporated city had ought to be happy, and drop an occasion al tear lor those who are so sorely troubled with well, I don't know, if you can think of anything worse than an old sow and ten or twelve shoata, you will please rise and explain. IS. C. Philomath, Sept. 20. 1879. Resolved, That we deem it the duty of the Western Oregon R. R. Co. to settle with 08 in some way without and further delay. Resolved, That inasmuch as there is $6150 due M. T. Ward as per statement of Mr. R. Kcehler, we are willing to divide said amount equally between the white laborers and the Chinamen, to wit : $2575 to the Chinamen and $2575 to the whites. Correspondence from South Tualatin, Sept. 4th : The rain has proved a blessing to all. It purified the air ; it stopped the rust and washed it off of the straw ; it gave moist ure to our late potatoes and turnips fields, and' started new grass for fall feed in our mead ows ; and it raised the water in our low swales, thereby giving a warning, together with the wild geese that have gone south for the husbanbandman to look sharp while the sun shines. FROM LANE COUNTY- Ed. Gazette : After passing through the county of Lane, I thought I would give you a few items, which may interest some of your readers, at least. Crops in this coun ty are short, about half a crop of merchan table wheat. The adjustable strainer and steamer, in vented by James McMurray, of Benton, are a perfect success. I sold fifteen steamers, and the same number of stiainers, the first day. The ladies of Lane county know just what they want, and have the money to pay for it. Mrs. M. A. Allen and Mrs. Matilda Ayer, were the first to have the strainers ap plied to their churns. They say they are as much to the dairy as to the kitchen. Their application is various. The new steamer is just the thing for cooking all kinds of vege tables, as well as steaming. They save one- fourth the time in cooking, cook better and more evenly than the ordinary kettle, and never scorch nor burn. I will soon be in Benton, and hope to meet with as good sue cess as in Lane. Mr. Ayer, of Cottage Grove informs me that he can clean wheat with his thresher, for one cent per bushel, and make good wa ges. Wm. McWnxis. Cottage Grove, Sept. 16. FROM LINN COUNTY. Ed. Gazette: We are whirled about sometimes so that we scarcely know where to find ourselves. I left home on the 17th, came to Corvallis, spent a day and a night, and was well taken care of, and kindly treated by friends. I was sorry to find some of them sick, but I pray that they will soon recover, and again enjoy good health. On the morning of the 18th, I took a pleasant ride to Albany on the stage, driven by Mr. Motley, who is very kind and ac commodating to passengers. I visited Mr. Ligget, the School Superintendent of Linn county, who gave me all the information asked for, in regard to schools. He thinks by looking around, that good teachers can yet find some schools not taken, and chances for employment in his county. I took dinner at the St. Charles Hotel. This house is well kept, in every respect. I there met Messrs. Jacobs and Kline, who are soeiable men wherever you find them. At a little past one o'clock, I took the stage for Lebanon. The afternoon was very warm and the road somewhat dusty, but Mr Donaca, the driver, by his pleasant and agreeable conversation, made me leel cheer ful, and landed me at the Lebanon St. Charles Hotel in good time. Ihis house is kept by Mr. S. H. Claughton, who is in every respect much of a gentleman. I had seme acquaintance with him about twelve years ago, while attending school at the Santiam Acadamy, and travelers will find themselves well treated, if they stop with him. Another hour's ride brought me to Sodaville, where 1 find a good home and kind folks. I commence my school on Mon day. Mr. Foot, who keeps the Fountain House and livery stable, at this place, also keeps the spring in goflk order, ana accom modates well those who stoD with him. Come over and take a good drink of soda water. J- -. wood. Sodaville, Sept 19. 1879. New Bridge. Last Saturday, Mr. Wm. Me Lagan and his son, Rollin, practical bridge builders, completed a very substan tial bridge on the Peoria road, in linn county. It is represented to us as a first class structure, built somewhat on the Howe truss style. Mr. McLagan has built several bridges in this county, and to say that he built a bridge, is a guaranty of excellent design and workmanship. The bridge re ferred to is about ninety feet span. There are several other just such bridges needed, bo i.h in this county and in Linn. New Store. Mr. Thos. A. Ghislin, Ikfe of Albany, ha opened a general variety store on Second street, nearly opposite Ir vin's boot and shoe shop.
