The Oreyonian nn J3ae arc great ly exercised, and evidently chagrined at the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the city of Portland vs. Perry G. Baker. The defendant in this case had contracted to improve Tenth street, Portland, and employ ed Chinese lahorers. The city of Portland plaintiff brought an action against Baker the defendant and prayed an injunction to restrain him from employing Chinese, which in junction was made perpetual, in the Circuit Court, and the ease was ap pealed to the Supreme Court. Now tho facts are. Ihe city of Portland failed to make a case, and conse qnently were beaten in the court of last resort, and now are engaged in eating suspicions against that court. Tlie only question involved in the ease, was simply this: Had the the city of Portland made a case in its amended complaint which would warrant a court in exercising its equity powers in granting a perpetual injunction. We think it had not. The complaint contained no allega tion that tho city had in any way been damaged, or that it would be damaged by reason of the work not being properly done, simply this bare allegation. " That by reason of the employment of the Chinese la borers, the city was ami would be greatly damaged and unless restrain ed, will suffer great and irreparable injury." Which is entirely unsup ported by any statement ot facts, upon which the court could be called upon to- exercise its extraordinary powers. Gentlemen, the fault is not with the court, ; but with the case, as it appeared upon the pleadings. It would be in good taste for you to instruct cities attorney how to prepare their cases, instead of trying to make the Supreme Cwrt responsible for the failure of the case. Use a little more reason, and less abuse. A Loxg Isla nd Dutchman in reading an account of a meeting in New York City, came to the words, "Tho meeting then dissolved." He could not define the meaning of the last, so he referred to his dictionary, and felt satisfied. In a few minutes a friend came in, when the Dutchman said, "Dey must have very hot wedder in New York. I red an agount of a meeting vcre all the peoplesh ad melted away." Soite idea of the capacity of the British Museum Library may be gained from the statement that it contains three miles of bookshelves eight feet high, and taking them all at the ordinary 8vo. size, there are twenty-five miles ot shelves. The dome of the reading room is the sec ond largest in the world, the diameter of that of the Pantheon, Rome, ex ceeding it only two feet. The national debt has been boiled dowrt to about $2,000,000,000. We came out of the war owing more than $3,000,000,000, and therefore have reason to congratulate ourselves on the present showing. It will be easier to pay off the balance of the debt, funded as it is at a low rate of intrest, than it has been to reduce it by $l,00CLpeer,000, the whole being ea with a high rate of interest, comberec PRICE OF REAL ESTATE. In our issue of the 20th ult.T in speaking of the need of more business houses and dwellings, we stated as fol lows : " In some instances, attempts have been made to purchase property whereon to erect suitable business houses, but the owners of the land either would not sell at all, or asked such fabulous prices that it was use less to think of becoming possessed of realty here." It seems that some one or more persons in town feel agrieved thereat. For in our issue of the 27th ult., " Citizen," takes is sue with us, and intimates that we have not given this matter but little if any attention. " Citizen" docs not pretend to know anything about the price of real estate himself in our city, but requests us to confer with Dr. Bayley and Mr. Woodcock and others," and detail the result. "Citizen" also says, "Give this matter a fair looking into, and you will find that I am right." We think we know whereof we speak, and if there is one thing more apparent than another In "Citizen's" article, it is this, that he is the mouth piece of a few real estate owners in this city. Why did not Dr. Bayley, Mr. Woodcock and others use our col umns to enlighten an anxious public on the mater of the prices of real estate in our city, instead of emloy ing " Citizen" to reply to us, who is in town only temporarily, and cannot, therefore, be as well qualified to speak as they? Why do not these genth men speak out and give us facts, fig ures and comparisons ? Tho intima tion is made in Citizen's article that men who come here with " money'" can get all the real estate they may want, at reasonable prices. Now, if this is a fact, why does not some of the real est ate suitable for business purposes change hands? We know of persons that have come here with more than a "few hundred dollars'" that have tried to make purchases and in some instances have met with this answer by the owners of the properly, " we will not sell, we have no price on our propel ty," and in other cases tho price has been so high, that no one could afford to purchase. We will suggest to Citizen, to look around and see what he can do in the way of purchasing real estate here, and give our many readers the benefit of 1 is labors through our columns. We want facts not speculations. "Citizen" also says, that "your article was calculated to retard pro gress and keep intending purchasers away." Now, we take issue with " Citizen" on that. We believe that it has been the uniform course of the Gazette to encourag the develbpe ment of Benton county, and Corval lis. It has stood in the breach and labored incessantly, for years, to build up the natural interests of this town, and if "Citizen" were at all familiar with our columns, he would not be in a situation to say different, and in regard to the effect of our article, to which he refers, we must say we think he is inclined to be very captious. We whould not change what we wrote if we could; and wc wrote it, to call the attention of our citizens to the fact, that they are holding property too high, and they, and not we, are the ones that are keeping away those seeking to invest their means here. We hope that the article referred to will open the eyes of property holders to the facts, and that they will see the necessity of and tho certain advantages to be ob tained, by taking a more liberal course. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Dear Gazette: Three Veks ago last Friday, accompanied by Mrs. C, we started for the Golden State m quest of health. We sailed for San Fiancisco from Portland, at 6 a. m., Saturday, on the A 1 iron steamship Oregon, Capt. Conner, and F. II. Reed, purser. Among the noble commadore8 who command the fleets of the Pacific, Capt. Conner, tor skill and prudence, heads the list having been in command of vessels between San Francisco and Portland for the past thirty years, wilhont meeting with an accident, we believe. Fol lowing in the wake of the great storm, we had quite a rough passage many of the passengers experienc ing what is meant by sea-sickness. Mrs. C. was among the number, while the writer escaped, and enjoy ed an excelle-it appetite. The officers and employes of the Oregon were all very kind and attentive to pas sengers, bnt " Mary," the steward ness, who, like a ministering angel, was here, there, and everywhere, dispensing favors and cheering the lady passengers with her smiles, de serves more than a passing notice; She is the right woman in the right place. Francisco at 10 a. m. on Tuesday. Remained until Thursday at 9 a. m., when we took the steamer Orizaba for this place. Touched at Port Harford and Santa Barbara, arriving at San Pearo, (ship anchorage) at 6 a. m. Took small steamer to Wil mington, from thence by cars four teen miles. Los Angeles is one of the oldest towns in Southern Califor nia, some 450 miles southeast of San Francisco. It claims a population of 15,000, and would be a lovely place if it had been laid out with anything like order or regularity. The streets, in the business portions of the city are short, crooked and irregular apparently taking the direction of cow-paths, as Built, origiuinally by the Spanish population. The climate is said to be usually lovely in winter but the present is an exceptional season nothing like it ever before known by the "oldest inhabitants." Snow, (slight) ice, cold rains, cloudy days, here since our sojourn, with a few regular Oregon " mists." We have been here a fort night, but are promised better weath er in a few days, if there is not an improvement soon, we shall re turn to Webfoot. As an evidence of the " cold snap," we find the lime hides and trees all dead, and many of the tropical plants and beautiful" flowers completely " cooked," so to speak. The orange trees, however, appear to be unin jured, and are now loaded with gol den fruit. Nearly every lot is an orange orchard. Oranges, grapes and honey, seem to be the chief pro ducts of this section of the State. In consequence of continued ill health, which is but little improved, as yet, we have been unable to see all the city and country adjacent, but are delighted with what we have seen. But, with all the grand anil romantic scenery, and much praised healthful climate, we find that people get sick and die here, as elsewhere. We find rheumatism, heart disease, dropsy, consumption, and that, too,amongna tive Californians. Some invalids find relief here, while others do not, .and in some instances, quickly pass away. We are very pleasantly situated through the kindness of Prof. O. S. Frambes, and his most excellent wife, formerly of Oregon, and whom we are permitted to number among our warmest and most esteemed friends. They are in charge of the Los Angeles Academy, conducted under the aus pices of the M. E. Church. We are boarding in the Academy, with Mrs. Snyder, who has chargeof the board ing house. Among the boarders ae Rev. M. M. Bovard and family, Mrs. Tansey, Mrs. Wilcox and son, Miss Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Frambes and Prof. Jory, the latter formerly of Oregon. The table is supplied with all the market afford f, and served in the most agreeable and home like manner consequently always full. As soon as Prof. Frambes learned we were at the Cosmopolitan, he called upon us, and in order to secure ns accommodations at the Academy, his wife proposed to give us their parlor, which was furnished in good style, and here we have been ever since. We have made numerous agreeable acquaintances, which makes the time pass very pleasantly, indeed. Rev. Hardin Wallace, Rev. n. F. Ashcraft, and James Jaynes, of Illi nois, Holiness evangelists, are doing a grand work in this city after; spend ing some time in other portions of this State, may come to Oregon. Mr. Jaynes is a fine singer the San key of the trio. Rev. Mr. Wallace, who, by the way, used to make our father's house a stopping place, when he first entered, and when we were a small boy, is a very original and pe culiar, but at the same time, very effective preacher. He preached to a large audience last evening, in the Trinity, M. E. Church South, on " Justification and sanctification, or Holiness-." W. B. C. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 16, 1880. Enoch Arden Outdone. Enoch Arden has been outdone in Council Bluffs. Iowa. Some time prior to the war a young couple met and loved. After a short courtship they were married and lived happily together. When the war broke out the hus band shouldered a musket in defence of his country. Letters came regu larly for a time and then ceased. Word was sent home that he had been taken prisoner, and soon after the dread news came that he was dead. The news was considered so authentic that the Government' al lowed a pension to thetwidow and her children. After a time she lis tened to the pleadings of another sui tor and married him. The second husband proved to be a worthless drunkard, and she got a divorce on the ground Of intemperance. Not content with her bad luck, she con cluded to marry again, her third be. itog even a worse failure than her sec ond husband. After the third had- abandoned his- home the first unex- Nothing of special interest occur- peeled lyturoedr up and resumed his red during the trip. Arrived at San ' responsibilities. aUyMBulltin. YAQUINA BAY. How we wish that we could leave out this heading from the paper, in calm confidence, that no farther effort is needed, that the struggle is over and the battle won. We know that the people ot the valley counties p11 with their sieninr of the memorial to Congress. We have all confidence that Congress will in its turn pay all due attention to the prayer lately sent on. We believe that our Senators and Representative will continue to do their part in press ing on the attention of their col leagues this matter, so closely identi fied with the interests of so many of their constituents. Well, then ? The truth is, that we know this battle is being fought against very heavy odds. Our great enemies are ignor ance, envy, incredulity and indiffer ence. Much has been done to defeat them, but the field is not yet won. How many do we yet meet who either never heard of Yaquina Bay, or if they have heard of the place, have some rival interest to serve, some other axe to grind ; or else they doubt, courteously or rudely, accord- inf to their character, whether we have there a land-locked bay, a deep water channel hill eight miles long, an entrance, obstructed indeed by that reef, but offering now 12 feet ot water at low tide, and nineteen feet at high tide, and capable of unlimit ed improvement. Or we come across some Gallio who cares for none of these things, and contemptuously drives ns from the judgment seat. If we could but capture some of these men and carry them down to that high hill over Diamond Point, look ing oit across the Bay to sea, and keep them there, even if the wind did blow a little, till they got to know these outlines by heart, and traced once for all that broad strip of calm blue water between the narrower strips of foaming white, while the great seas beat on that outside reef in vain seeking an entrance into our quiet harbor. If we conld but im press some of these doubters and bear them out in that little schooner we have heard of, and tie them fast while they watched the leads men sound across the bar. If we could t&ke them to the Light House Point when the Alexander Duncan came boldly in, finding eighteen feet of blue water, as Captain Carroll re cords of his last trip. Well, then we should have these doubters, and converted these indifferent, ones ; this we know. But, then ? Then there would be still two things to fight one to get Republican and Demo cratic members of Congress to be lieve that the people of Oregon are in earnest in insisting on these great natural advantages being developed by national aid. The other, and pos sibly the harder, to overcome the dead weight of officialism, fearing to undertake fresh work, content to go on improving a little here, patching a little there, in places which have long since won such a battle as we are now engaged in. If the valley means to succeed in thus breaking its way through obsta cles to the open sea, let its voice be ever heard, let Oregon's Representa tives be ever stirred up to work, let no candidate have a chance of success unless he makes this cause his own. TELEGEAPHIC. Revolution in Central America. Heavy fire in Chicago. Loss, $50, 000. The weavers of North Adams Mass., are on a strike. Three Utes engaged the Meeker massacree, are now in confinement. Parliamentary elections in Victoria have resulted in defeat to the govern ment. Rowland E. Trowbridge of Michi gan, has been confirmed commission er of Indian affairs. The city officers of Elizabeth N. J. have been indicted for conspiracy to defraud the city. The King of the Belgians is send ing six imall steamers to Stanley for use on the Congo river. 250 Cltinese passed through Oma ha, Nebraska, one day this week bound to Eastern cities. Jay Cooke's estate is to be sold. It is expected that the estate will finally liquidate its entire indebted ness. The entire Russian fleet in the Aral sea is ordered into the Oxus to par ticipate in Gen. Kaufman's campaign against the Turcomans. Bismarck has enforced his demand for the appointment of a colleague by suggesting that if work is not thus lightened lie must be allowed to re tire altogether. Telegraph companies are now in dulging in the pleasing pastime of cutting each others wires, and inak ing it tropically hot for each other in some of the Western States. The pope at a recent consistory approved of the appointment of Rev. Mr. Junger, to be bishop of the dio cese of Nesqnally, which embraces Washington Territory. The German government is about to revive the scheme for cutting a canal navigable for war vessels be tween the Ballic sea and the German ocean. The scheme is warmly sup ported in military circles. The Committee of Congress on Indian affairs will soon report a bill, allowing Indians to take homesteads, and extending oner them the general civil and criminal laws ot the United States and the Territories where they reside. A grand row occurred near Seward, Nebraska, a day or two since, in which one man was killed and four others seriously injured. The fight arose over the school directorship. Gen. P.eatjreuard, who has al ways been considered an honorable, high-toned gentleman, is in Wash ington, laboring in defence of lotter ies and against the bill prepared by the Postmaster General to prevent the mails from being used by lottery concerns. He should be in better business. The general public opinion of this country is opposed to the whole lottery business, and it is the duty of the Government to "sit down" on it on every possible occa sion, and with all its weight.

Ed. Gazette: The Daily Oregonian of February 21st contains a letter signed " Shipmaster," of great interest to the ship pers, to the merchants and farmers of the Willamette valley. The Oregonian properly calls the substance of this letter, written by a large ship-owner and one of the directors of the London bank in Portland, a "burden on our shipping," and while deprecating the system so detrimental to the State, says : The subject will, we trust, receive the attention of our board of trade, so that measures may be taken to effect changes through legislation, and in other ways which will obviate as far as possible these onerous charges on our commerce. Right to the point, and it is just what the people of Central and Eastern Oregon are doing. We want an appropriation to re move an obstruction less than 150 yards wide on the Yaquina bar. ''Shipmaster" says it costs from $250 to 500 pilotage and towage, a distance of fifteen miles. This of course includes the passage of the Columbia bar (nearly five miles across) to a point near Astoria. ' He further says the charges, through not quite so high, from Astoria to Portland, are unreasonable. But, don't you see, the legislation we ask does away with any bar, ami the whole distance from the deep water of the Pacific to the wharves of the W. V. & C. E. R. will be less than six miles. No legislation can possibly effect a greater reduction of pilotage and towage in favor of the commerce of at least half of Oregon than this improvement, to say noth ing of the distance saved or the incidental expenses, such as lighterage, etc., etc. It is a noticeable fact that during these long years of argument and the presentation of every real advantage claimed for the Yaquina Bay as a railroad terminus, and as an outlet for the trade of Central and East ern Oregon, not a single contradictory state ment has been offered. Why? Simply be cause it would be against the interests of a large portion of the State, and because every point made is susceptable of official proof. No man with a thimble full of common sense but can see plainly this railroad means com petition, and competition means the regula tion and cheapening of transportation. Leg islation will not bo required to keep the greed of pilots and tug-owners of the Colum bia in check. These gentlemen will be busy reducing rates to meet the rates established by the shorter and cheaper lines. There is nothing visionary about this. Solid busi ness principles suggest the method of recti fying a great mistake, and natnre offers the way. There is only one thing necessary: Can conflicting interests and the potency of capital, concentrated and occupying an un fortunate position commercially, annul the wide-spread demand for this small aid in improving our harbor ? Certainly not; if energy is used and the enthusiasm of to-day continues, the result is not the least doubt ful. But remember, " Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and it is liberty we want. We desire the liberty of choosing between two routes to the seaboard. If we choose to take the longest route, it will be because itis thecheapest every way, and that point can never be reached while we have but one thoroughfare for tly trade of Ore iron, s i2jtfi omitted to men- amer Duncan of 900 fegon flour, 240 sacks of e Siletz agency.
