THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Last Saturday the Republican
primaries in this county were held,
but we have failed to receive reports
from all the precincts. As far as
heard from everything passed off
pleasantly and harmoniously, augur
ing weff for the success of the party
in the corning election. The prima

laiggfj attended a report of which

A ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLAR
TRANSACTION.
The entire possessions of the Ore
gon Steam Navigation Company
were transferred to the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation company on the
31st ol march, 1880. The following
is a statement of the property trans
fened, as found in the Daily Oregon
ian of April 1st, which places nearly
all the transportation facilities of this
State in the hands of one corpora
tion, with but little show of opposi
tion, or competition. What the ef
fect of this transaction will be, re
mains to be seen. The future not
only of this State, but of the north
west coast, is, in a great measure in
the hands of this corporation. There
is one avenue of commerce, one out
let to the ocean, however, which they
do not control Yaquina Bay and
it remains for those immediately in
terested in cheap transportation to
say whether or not this natural out
let of Central and Eastern Oregon
shall be made available in the present
emergency. A liberal appropriation
for the improvement of Yaquina Bay.
by the present congress, is the only
hope left for the people of this state.
With this the people of Oregon can
secure competition in freights and
fares, and a short and direct route to
market; without an appropriation
the people are completely iu the pow
er of one of the greatest monopolies
that ever did, or ever can, exist in
this state.
In view of these startling (acts, no
wonder that the press of this state
demands, in thunder tones, that our
senators and representative in con
gress should, without fail, secure such
appropriation. To falter now, or de
lay, would be an unpardonable s:n,
and a great public calamity. In the
face of facts and figukes, now be
fore congress that honorable body
cannot, ana surely will not, turn a
deaf ear to the reasonable and imper
ative demands or an overburdened
people for relief. The Oregonian
says:
Pursuant to a lesolution passed yesterday
by the stockholders of the Oregon Steam
Navigation Co. at a meeting held, and also
by the board of directors of the same cor
poration, the formal transfer of all the prop
erty, real ana personal, was made to the Or
egon Railway and Navigation Co. Header
of the Oregonian will remember that men
tion of this sale was made in these columns
sometime since. The deed, in which is mi
nutely described all the property included
in the transfer, was placed on rile yesterday
in the office of the county clerk. It is a
most voluminous document, covering nearly
50 paes of legal cap.
The consideration mentioned in the deed
is $810,000, and the property included in
the transter is as follows :
All the railroad lines, locomotives, cars,
rolling stock, etc., belonging to the compa
ny between the Upper and Lower Cascades
on both sides of the Columbia river, known
as the "Portage."
All the road between The Dalles and Ce
lilo (including rolling stock, offices, etc.);
also all road beds owned by the corporation.
All the telegraphic lines, wires, poles, in
struments, etc., between Portland and Wal
la Walla.
In addition, all the real estate, docks,
landing, wharves, etc., belonging to the
company, located in Portland, Multnomah
county, in Oregon City, Clackamas county,
Salem, Marion county, Aster ia, Clatsop
county ; also at the Upper ai d L wer Cas
cade in Multnomah and Wasco co inties ; at
The Dalles, Wasco county ; iu Umatilla
county, Skamania county, Washington ter
ritory; in Walla Walla county, Washington
territory, and in Lewiston, Idaho territory.
A bill of sale will be filed to-day in the
office of collector of customs, transferring
all the floating stock, for the consideration
of $72G,000. The following is the list of
steamboats and barges mentioned in the

gress urge an appropriation for the improve

ANSWER TO'COMUS."
Mr. Editor : I see in your paper of Feb.
13, that one " Comus " has assumed the re
sponsibility to report the action of our club
meeting at Philomath. We would like to
know who paid him for his services ? If he
did it without pay, we will pay him next
time if he will report truth, for Mr. Smith
says that some of his assertions were palpa
ble falsehoods. He tells us that resump
tion was the salvation of the country. But
he failed to tell us in what way our govern
ment would pay a bonded debt of over two
billion dollars with about eight hundred
million dollars in hard money. He failed to
tell us that specie resumption took place in
January, 1876, and that that there had not
yet been a dollar in hard money paid out for
greenbacks, but that they had been taken
in, burned up and an interest-bearing bond
given out iu their place, thereby increasing
the National debt and the volume of inter
est as a burden on the people. He also
failed to tell us that John Sherman had
failed in his favorite scheme of resumption
until he adopted the main plank in the
Greenback platform in making three hun
dred and fifty million dollars that he re
served and made legal tender for all debts,
and is now, if I am rightly informed, paying
the interest on the public debt with them,
which is a violation of law. He says that
it is a straige thing that a man with "as
much good sense as Mr. Smith has, would
advocate such an absurd thing as the Green
back move. - ;: .
Now, Mr. Editor, when we want a man
to tlictateWoT us, we will take one with at
least a thimble full of brains. His remarks
remind me of some of his slang two years
ago, when he said that the Greenback party
was composed of broken-dowi politicians
and, jaioon bummers, when there is not &
matf in the party but what is a credit to
"Comus.'.' He says that Mr. Smith is lia
ble to squander all his means in advocating
si! eh a cause. All glory to Mr. Smith ; if
one rich man has put his shoulder to the
wheel to assist the down trodden poor to
liberate themselves from the yoke of bond
age ty paying ne national debt, an.l stop
the interest that is to-day drawing the vital
ity from the nation, that will remain a enrse
for generations to come unless tho princi
ples of the Greenback party are adhered to.
Ho says that just such agitation has caused
so many strikes. Would that the agitation
continue until the lout bond was struck into
everlasting flames, when we should have no
more bloated bondholders living upon the
industry of tha poor. Ho speaks of the
floating class, who have but little. Now,
Mr. "Comus," you are one of those imagin
ary fellows ; you have a few dollars out
at interest and you hope one day to be able
to own a U. S. bond. But before that time,
" Comus," we will have the last ono of thorn
in flames. He stated that Mr. 8. said that
money brought the war to a close. Mr. S.
made no such statement, for he well knows
that a half million of our best men foil to
restore the Union, and a half million that
survived have now to labor by the tweot of
the brow to pay the interest on a bonded
debt that was created while they were in
the field being shot at.
Mr. " Comus," you assail Brick Pomeroy;
when you do it you assail one of the truest,
outspoken journalists of the age, battling
for truth and right. Who is this "Comus"?
He is a man that would lay aside truth and
virtue to vote for an old shell of a party
that is to-day staggering beneath a mighty
load of corruption so powerful that it is near
crushed to the earth ; a few more days and
it will be numbered with the past. He is
one of those old fogies that cannot see above
the party lines, and has said before witnesses
that he would vote for a yellow dog before
would lose his party record.
Now, Mr. " Comus," we are willing to
meet yon on the political issues of the day;
but come out like a man, and present an is
sue, if you have one, without so much
slang. " Comus," I believe you are on fSie
wrong track. Have you ever known your
party to make one act of legislation in the
last twenty years in favor of the laboring
class ? Don't you know that your party has
bankrupted our government by burning up
our money and reducing the volume of cur
rency until there ianot one-fourth enough
to transact the bussiness of the country ?
That your contracting system is only ad
vancing interest and thereby working a
hardship on the laboring class ? Are you
aware that taxation should bt equal, and
that it is not right to keep those untaxed
bonds, the money of which should help, in a
two-fold manner to support the government;
first, by paying taxes, second by being in
circulation to transact business and build up
the industries of the country ? Are you
aware that the good book says that you rich
chaps shall not oppress the poor ? The next
time you hear of a Greenback meeting, just
go and convince them that they are wrong,
but do not use too big words. Now "Co
mus," you might do a great deal of good in
this county ; you know we need the Ya
quina railroad very bat! ; will you just write
over to congress and have them pay off the
bonds, and you know the bondholders will
have to use their money and they Will jump
at the chance to build our railroad, so that
their money may make them something.
Now, " Comus," I know you want office ;
just come over to the Greenback party and
we will give you one, as all our men are
hard-working men and do not want any
public positions. Greenback.
Philomath, March 3d, 1880.
CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY.
The prrtper officers failing to make
a report of the examination of Ya
quina Bay, by Capt. Woods, last
December, Senator Slater introduced
a resolution calling for the report,
which was considered by unanimous
consent and agreed to. It will be
found on paje 2, Cong. Record, of
March 19, as follows:
Resolved, That the Secretary of War be
directed to furnish the Senate with all data
in the possession of the Department of En
gineers of the United States respecting the
entrance to Yaquina Bay, Oregon, showing
the depth and width of the channel and the
character of obstructions thereto, and par
ticularly a copy of the report of Capt.
Woods of an examination and survey of the
entrance of said harbor, made in December,
1879, by direction of the board of engin
eers for the Pacific coast.
The above resolutionexplainsitself,
and shows that the friends of Yaquina
Bay, at Washington, are not asleep.
Had that survey and estimates been
reported promptly, as they should
have been, Congress would have
made an appropriation for this much
needed work, long ago.
Quick Trip. Last Thursday morning we
stepped on board the City of Salem, went
to the capital, attended to business, and at
6 P. m. started for home on the steamer Oc
cident, arriving next morning at 7 o'clock.
Between the boats, our regular stage line,
and the Westside railroad, Corvallisites are
now bitrhly favored with public conveyances.
We have been waiting a long time for its
advent, but the "good time coming " is now
dawning upon us. With the completion of
our railroad ti Yaquina Bay, and its exten
sion, via Lebanon to Eastern Oregon, Corval
lis will become, in the near future, the prin
cipal inland town of the Willamette valley.
Its geographical position, beautiful location,
pure and abundant water, and healthful and
invigorating climate, all conspire to assure
its future prosperity.
County Nominations. The following
nominations were made last Friday at the
Republican County Convention held at Dal

is a scientific combina
tion of the medicinal

confidence. It is the most reliable remedy
for diseases of the throat and lungs that sci
ence has produced. It strikes at the foun
dation of all pulmonary diseases, affording
prompt anil certain relief, and is adapted to
patients of any age or cither sex. Being
very palatable, the youngest children take
it without difficulty. In the treatment ot
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's
Sore Throat, Asthma, Croup, and. Ca
tarrh, the effects of Aveu's Cheeky Pec
