OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE STATE
O.-FICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
Corvallis, Dec. 17., 1880.
W. B. CAR.TKR.
MR. FACIN8-8DTH-WAYS.
" It is intended that the road sliall
" be opened tor business from Corval
" lis to tbebay by the elose of the
"year 1881. We shall congratulate
" the neople of Corvallis and of the
"upper valley upon the success of
" the enterprise.
So wrote the Oregonian of the
7 ili instant. In the very same paper
appears a statement that the Ore
gon Pacific Railroad Companyhad
complained of the republication in
New YJi k of a " review " of their
prospectus and circular published in
the Oregonian a month before,
which republication had been gar
bled and did not follow the original
It then goes on, " as the republica
" tion in New York was neither done
" nor procured by this journal, it has
" nothing to do with the matter.
On the 8th of December the Ore

a special dipatch to !the Oreqo
-
Williamson, of the General Land
OfBce, of a special agent named Pros
ser, sent to examine the Cascade
mpuntams military wagon road. It
waft headed " An Oregon Fraud
" Land Agent Prosser Makes an In
"teresling Exposure How the Will-
" amette Valley and Cascade Moun
" tain Military and Wagon Road
" bmpanyr Attempted a Big Grab
" on the Public Lands."
On the 9th of December, the Ore
gonian published a nice compact lit
tie leading article headed, " Discov
ered at Last;" saying, amongst other
choice efforts," Of course it is an out
rageous fraud, both upon the general
government and the State of Oregon."
On the 11th of December the Ore
gonian was kind enough to publish
two letters, one from Mr. Jason
Wheeler, the other from Mr. John
A. Crawford, the president of the
wagon road company. The effect of
both was to declare, with all the re
sponsibility attached to a published
statement over signatures, that no
fraud whatever, nor the semblance
of one, had-beenttempted or per
petrated. That a real good road
had been1 duly completed in accor
dance with law, at a very heavy cost.
That the Special Ageut Prosser had
declared to both these gentlemen
on his return to Albany that the
statements attacking the road were
lies.
No mention had been made of the
Oregon Pacific in -connection with
this road busiuess. But the Orego
nian could not let the chance pass of
a side hit at the object of its aver
sion, it could not leave the double
contradiction to produce its proper
effect upon the public mind. There
fore it published in the same paper
an editorial : " We are -mindful of
" the fact," says the Oregonian, " that
" considerable part of the lands can
" hardly be. described as worth
" much, though, if we mistake not,
" they are the same described in - Mr;
"Hogg's recent prospectus and letter,
"as selected lands of great value.
'Either too much laud was given for
" this wagon road, or Mr. Hogg's es
"timate of its value is far too high.'
So let us sum up the transactions
of the last tew weeks, as concerning
the " leading organ " of Oregon.
As soon as the Legislature had risen
appeared its adversecnticism on Sen
ate bill eighty-two, the common
carriers' interchange of traffic bill,
with the publication of the majority
report of the enemies of the bill in
committee.
Then came the correspondence
with Mr. Sol. Hirsch, who had "vili
fied the Oregon Pacific in the State
Senate, and sea ndalized all Oregon
by his wanton attack on the citizens
who had promulgated their estimates
of the wheat production of-the val
ley counties, a nd then the Oregonian
sneers in this fashion. " It appears
" only just to- Bay that this Yaquina
" Bay railway scheme, in its present
" hands,doee mt seem to have much ot
anything in it."
Next it cm. The publicatii of
Mr. " Examiner's " review, 1cnh- in
our minds as a- collection of all the
venomous lies that could be brought
together by the united genius of
Portland critics and their New
York allies.
Then a fewdaysfer appeared what
' was called " Yaqnina Bay. Report
"of survey by United- States4' Engi
neer," which we were told would be
reaii with interest by all who had
hoped to see the bay made a seaport.
We look in vain for any hint of sug
gestions of easy improvement which
would form the most interesting
and important pait of any such re
port. Bnt that would have supplied .
the trirnds as well as the enemies of
the Yaquina with hope, therefore, we
look in vain.
Then comes the insertion of Col.
Hogg's answer, but with ft appears
the editorial of the Oregonian, im
puting.to Colonel Hogg ideas he nev
er uttered and plans too ridiculous
for serious comment.
.Next in the little drama
is tno w .i-iiu.igcoti aispai.cn
calling the
eastern Oregon
wagon road a fraud and attacking
its title to the lands. Then, when
this is denied, and is answered in
such terms as to carry conviction to
a candid mind, the Oregonian in its
leading article suggests that they are
mindful of the fact that considerable
part of the lands can hardly be re
garded as worth much though it is
on their security, " with the tide
lands round Yaqnina Bay, that an
effort has been made to raise a loan
of $3,500,000 to build the Oregon
Pacific Railroad."
And lastly, there is the article in
which all the adverse comment of the
Oregonian on the villainous republi
cation in New York of a garbled
copy of 'Examiner's "review, as if it
had emanated from the Oregonian
itself, is to ascribe the lying state
ment that but $13,000 had be.-n giv
en for 800,000 acres of land to an er
ror in telegraphing; with the mild
comment, that " if the article was to
be republished as coming from the
Oregonian, we would have preferred
that it had been given with accu
racy." But the Oregonian will congratu-
" late the people of Corvallis and of
" the upper valley upon the success
" of the enterprise;"
One tiny drop of syrup to all that
burning acid. A small mercy to be
thankful for. We shall not forget
to be thankful for it when pay-day
comes round.
V.
HARD TIMES AND THE CAUSE.
With the important advance and the firm
feeling in wheat abroad it would be but
natural to look for something of the kind in
the local market, but as yet the improve
ment has been very slight, indeed. The
reason assigned by shippers, and -which is
also obvious, is the scarcity of tonnage
available to carry off the surplus of the
coast. Euough wheat is said to be stored in
the warehouses at the two points, Albany
and Corvallis, to load all the vessels likely
to arrive here within the next four months.
As the amount at these two places i3 only
a small part of the surplus in this State
and Washington Territory, the retarding
influence of the scarcity of tonnage can
easily be appreciated. The feeling noticed
in the market in San Francisco is doubtless
attributable to" the excitement in New
York and Chicago, where the locking up of
over 3,000,000 bushels by the freeze in the
canals and rivers, and a determination of
the bulls to force prices up, have caused
those markets to go to a figure at least five
percent, above the English prices. Market
Report Daily Oregonian, Nov. 23, 1880.
Any person carefully reading the
above statement of actual facts, will
certainly have no difficulty in real
izing the urgent necessity and advan
tage of a few more shipping points.
The season passed was remarkable
both for the yield and the favorable
climatic conditions for harvesting.
Soon after harvest it was confidently
hoped with fair prices for wheat, the
fanner could make good last year's
losses and recover from the effects of
rust. But now we are brought face
to face with the worst of all misfor
tunes no vessels to remove the crop,
even if there should be an advance
in prices far above any previous year.
There is a reason for this condition of
things, yearly growing worse. Ship
owners seldom neglect mr dodge a
port offering business without good
and sufficient cause, chief among
which in this case was the report
made last winter by the Astorian
and Oregonian seconded by the
Portland Board ot Trade to secure
an appropriation made for a harbor
of refuge, that the Columbia bar was
shoaling. This report,-emanating
from such a respectable source, was
published in the east, and was fol
lowed by an immediate advance in
the rates ot insurance ; large ves
sels, the cheapest carriers, were
warned, and the prows of ships
headed for the Columbia were turned
in another direction. San Francisco
ever ready to depreciate the Colum
bia bar, used this text of the " empo
rium," with disastrous effect. An
other cause has been, and is yet, the
comparatively outrageous port
charges, a heavy draft on owners
io the matter of pilotage, towage
and tug charges so burdensome has
this become, that no vessel unless
loaded with a good incoming cargo,
can afford to come to Portland in bal
last, depending on outgoing freight
alone for profit. Both these objec
tions, serious as they are, can be
correctly attributed to the selfish
ness of those who speak and act for
Portland, claiming to be a seaport
situated 110 miles inland on a tribu
tary of the Columbia. She should
'have. imitated New Orleans there in
order to meet the inevitable sur
roundings of a bad commercial lo
cation ; tfee city paid tor the construc
tion and , maintenance of two power
ful stean tugs, provid.ed with steam
pipes leading turough the keel; steam
through these pipes, stirred the mud
of ,'ne Mississippi until it was possible
for a ship loaded six or seven feet be
low the actual depth of water to be
towed to sea ; bins for grain and ele
valors were also arranged on these
tuirs so that if the vessel lacked her
full load the cargo was Completed at
ifea. At St. Louis to-day we find
that enterprising city endeavoring to
compete with railroad centres by a
system ot immense barges, and it is
only a few years ago that rival sea
ports on the eastern coast undertook
to lift vessels over shoal bars with
" camels." So much for those who
have enersry and try to maintain their
commeroial equilibrium by honesty
and fair dealing. How much has
Portland done to benefit the State?
Aside from asking tor an appiopria
tion to dredge the annual deposit of
sediment below Portland, positively
nothing that the could avoid. Did
any o.ne see or hear of a Portland in
fluence at Salem working to secure
the pass.ige of a law to reduce ton
nage or pilotage? Of course not, they
were too much exercised over the
Oregon Pacific, too busy fulminating
false statements ; . the press of that
city has not yet ceased extolling the
worthy Senators who were furnished
special cars to ride to and from the
" commercial emporium," and such
honorable (?) gentlemen as seemed
by their acts, pliant in the knee
joints, some small merchants, and an
uiijet uons granger from an adjoining
comity. And what did they do to
deserve so much notice? They
fought the Common Carriers' Bill, a
measure the people wanted, they la
bored to defeat the Levee Bill an
other hope of the farmers, because
both these acts foreshadowed a better
condition of trade, competition and
cheaper freights. The truth is, and
its a good time to tell the truth, the
business men who assume to control
the future destiny of Portland, are in
turn controlled by the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation Company, and
it is the "stated policy of that
company," to meet any and all op
posing interests and prevent their
establishment in our (their) oxen
territory. "Opposing interest " will
be met as it has been so far, by the
free use of money in the legislature,
by base lying, treacherous fraudulent
statements, bolstered up by honora
ble (?) Shylocks and honorable (?)
attorneys, who work lor pay and the
" favor that thrift may follow."
Farmers of Oregon read the extract
at the head of this article ! Four
months to wait on an uncertainty be
fore yon can hope to realize a single
dollar for your labor of 18S0, for re
member eastern Oregon must be at
tended to first ; " the backbone' of our
enterprise " would not be weakened
by an action of justice or a morsel
of sympathy, and surely by that time
" the retarding influence of the
scarcity of tonnage can easily be ap
preciated." There is something so
cold, so selfish, so positively devil
ish in that sentence, no hope is ex
pressed, no wish for a change, no de
sire to sooth the bitterness of the anx
ious farmer'sdisappointment. It seems
to say, Farmers your wheat is
safely stored, it will finally be
" bought, sold and shipped by Port
land merchants" The good, kind,
whole souled " Emporium of the
whole State," will graciously wait
like the " Fat Duck " ot yore, ready
to gobble up your annual savings
and ask for more, quacking defiance,
meantime, at any invasion of its
own territory. Any other city in
America would exhibit the deepest
anxiety when confronted with a mat
ter of such importance, affecting as it
certainly does the prosperity of the
entire State. Nothing, however, but
an earthquake or a streak of lightning
judiciously used would stop the narrow-minded
managers of that incora
paratively selfish " emporium " from
money changing, and the study of
that peculiar kind of trade that takes
all, and gives nothing in return for
honest toil.

Newport, Dec. 3, 1880.
WILLAMETTE VALLEY VS TONNAGE-
NO. 3.
In commenting on Col. T. E.
H&ggs letter Dec. 4, the OregonUm
says " seriously this subject has' giv
en rise to more controversy then
there is any possible occasion for."
Is that so ? In the daily of December
2, we find that there is 175,000 tons
of wheat waiting shipment ; that
South America and Australia gave no
hope of vessels, and that " the ques
tion resolved itself into this problem.
Shippers must send tltkir grain to
San Francisco, and there reship to
Europe, or offer such an advance on
charter rates in San Francisco- as
will attract vessels steeriug there to
rcome 7iere." Is not this an argument
for another shipping point, even if it
had to be done bv steam, it could be
done cheaper from Yaquina than
Portland. But commenting further
on Col. Hogg's letter,- the Oregonian
says, " Let this absurd notion be
dropped that this (the Oregon Pa
cific Railroad) is the great enterprise
destined to swallow up the commerce
of Oregon and close all other chan
nels." Who is talking now, and bat
tling against a legitimate enterprise?
In that paper of the 8d we find,
" owing to fear of the lower river clos
ing, the Edwin Reed, the last foreign
vessel in port, is loading day and
night." Since this the river has
closed, a filling rebuke to those who
publicly announced their inten
tion to "exclnsivelv control" the
mighty river of the west. Nature's
channel is closed and trade inter
rupted," "converging liiiT?s of
railroad, making it more so," it is
a mailer of consolation to know that
the Yaquina Bay has never been
closed with ice, in fact, a residence
of seventeen years brings no in
stance to my mind of even float ice
in the bay. The Oregonian is com
mendably urging action with regard
to improvement of the Columbia
River no one except a person in
fluenced by unworthy prejudice could
wish to see any channel of commerce
obstructed for want of government
aid, much less oneof such importance
as the Columbia KiVer. This is a
very serious business, no time to
quibble about what particular city is
going to be injured, if an', but lend
all possible aid to such undertaking
as will advance the State genet
ally.

WHITE LEPERS.
It has been generally known in
San Francisco that leprosy prevailed
to a certain extent among the Chi
nese of that city. But beyond this
the public have had but little knowl
edge and slight enriosity, therefore,
the statement made to a Chronicle
reporter by Dr. James Murphy, of
at. Mary s hospital, comes with
strange effect. The Doctor says
that within a comparatively short
lime past as many as sixteen white
persons, of both sexes, have made
application at the hospital or at
private office for relief from this hor
rible scourge. Many of the cases
were as bad as they could be, and all
were incurable. At the present time
it is not known exactly where the
afflicted persons are, as they have
gone to different places in the state;
but that the majority of them are
uot far from San Francisco is very
certain. They came from the Sand
wich Islands,- and were allowed un
restricted entrance as there is no law
against the landing of lepers. The
sixteen cases which have come under
Doctor Murphy's observation may or
may not include all, but it is consid
ered very probable that there are
others.
