It is claimed that the civil service reform bill will soon pass the United States Senate. Voorhees a promi nent democrat opposes the bill. He no doubt laboring undr a delu sion anticipates the next president to be a democrat and if so he prefers to indulge in a little corruption un Ar the civil service as it is and has been. In short he loves the prece dent established and declared by democratio authorify, that "to the victor belong the epoils" and he hopes to enjoy some of it before such bill passess. I POLYGAMY SPREADING. The governor of Idaho Territory recently delivered his message to the legislature there in session, whereiu ha dwells with deserved severity npon the praotice of polygamy which practice seems to be fast gaining round in that territory as well as many others. He calls attention to tbe effect that the Edmunds bill only strikes at polygamy in Utah and prevents polygamists from holding office therein, and that in two or more counties in Idaho where polygr- amists hold office and control such counties the law has no effect. Ho recommends that the law of evidence b so framed that no person shall be excluded from testifying iii any pro ceeding in a proseoution for poly gamy On EO'OUns CI marriage iei- tionswith the defendant; and that cohabitation with more than one wife be made to constitute a continuous offense, and that to preach in favor of the doctrine of polygamy, or pub licly or privately to advise, counsel or encourage others to commit poly gamy, or knowingly to aid or assist others to enter into polygamous re lations, be made a crime, punishable severely. UNION PACIFIC'S WES TEEN EXTEN- MSBsi (Prom the If. f- Dy Indicator, of Nov. 29. 1882. The Union Pacific Company was sup posed to be in friendly relation with the Oregon Railway and N7i'fjation Company, and it was expected that til? Oregon Short line would connect with the Ike oi the lat ter at Baker City, Oregon. It appears now that the two companies are contend! iT possession of the same territory. It is gji that officers of the Oregon company have visited Boise, Idaho, to arrange for ex-tending their line from Baker City to that point. As the line must occupy certain ' passes too narrow for both companies, a struggle is A? T( ll - 1- - i A 1 1 anticipated, u mese statements, wnicn are repetitions of former reports, are true, it indicates that the Northern Pacific com pany which is virtually the same as the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company, intends to make a lively competition with tee Union facihe Company to repay the latter for encroaching npon its territory on the North Pacific coast. The foregoing is from a Western exchange that is usually well in- iviiacu iiuuiujg auu jjuBBiug cveiiis. A few weeks ago the Daily Indica tor in alludiug to the Western ex tension ot tbe Union Pacific, stated that "the future policy of this great corporation has been settled upon, and its managers are now engaged in carrying it out, irrespective of the plans and projects of connecting or lateral roads. The Union Pacific has the Oregon Short Line ffom Granger to Boise City, with the Hogg, railroad from Boise to Ya quina Bay on the Pacific, half way from San Francisco to Portland, Ore., with a good harbor, and' short,, quick water connection with San Francisco, Portland, and Pacific ports; and the tttah Central, from Ogden to Iron Springs, on the Utah & Nevada road, for their main line and a con nection at Denver for their Kansas Pacific division, with the California iCentnril Railway, soon to be built fifcm Denver to San Francisco, via Xron Spring Utah, Crystal Springs nd Silver Peak Nev., and Yosemito. on that coast, the lines will through the best mineral regions of the Rocky and Nevada ranges, and enter some of the finest agricultural territory on the Pacific slope. This project is 'not a paper plan for ex tending the traffic area of this corpo ration but has been carefully pre pared, and is now in course of prac tical demonstration." It was then denied that the Un;on Pacific had such a policy in view, and the denial was credited to a leading official of the company. The statement given by this journal was from a reliable source, and events that have since transpired confirm its accuracy, and we have additional reason for believing that the plan of the Union Pacific Railway company for extending its lines to the Pacific coast is now being carried forward as rapidly as circumstances will per mit:' General News Helena has 1270 persons of school age within her limits. The total grain yield of Bitter Root valley for the j ear, is estimated at 125,000 bushels. The new court house at White Sulphur springs is about finished. The attendance at the Helena schools is larger than ever before, the enrolled pupils number 491. One thousand dollars each is charged by the Northern Pacific company for corner lots in Livingston, and $800 each for inside lots. The Northern Pacific has erected an ice house at Ainsworth with capacity for SOO tons. Eight tons of oysters were shipped from Olympia to Portland and San Francisco last week. The first car-load of coal ever shipped over the Northern Pacific road, went up the road on Monday last, bound for Sand Point. It is said that the proprietors of the New Northwest will sue out an injunction restraining the proprietors of the Northwest News from using that title. The present force employed on the Ains worth bridge will be increased to between 500 and 600 men in a short time. Monday night of last week tbe entire criminal population of the Goldendale jail left for more congenial quarters, taking all the blankets of the jail, a needle-gun and 150 rounds of ammunition. Two of the prisoners were horse thieves and one a cat tle thief. The case of B. F. Dowell against Jesse Applegate and his children has been decided by Judge Sawyer in favor of Dowell. It appears that Don ell and Applegate were the sureties of ex-secretaty . of State May and Dowell had the bond to pay and the suit was broucht to set aside certain convevances of land by Applegate to his children after they had signed the bond of May.

The South Prairie coal mines located about twenty-eight miles from New Tacoma, and a mile and a half from the line of rail road, have been making some important shipments lately.

The new 'shingle mill at the head of the bay, says the Tacoma Ledger, is doing good work and turning out about 14,000 shingles per day. f last week there were eleven sea-going vessels in port at New Tacoma, ved for coal, three of which came with cargoes of railroad iron, and five seeking lumber. New Tacoma, W. T., has a home fire in surance company organized at that place. It is said that it is working into quite a business. It is called the Mutual fire in surance company, and is controlled by men of that place. John A. Carr, of Portland, who has re sided there for the last sixteen years was arrested last week on a charge of having murdered a man in Oroville Cal. 'about 20 years ago. He denies the charge. A human body cut in pieces and crowded into an old barrel was found in Marquan's gulch west of Portland recently. Attorney General Brewster ha3 directed the Grswold property at Salem to be sold on Feb. 8th 1883 to satisfy the judgement re covered aeainst him in favor of the United States brought by B. F, Dowell. The track of the Canadian Pacific railroad is now laid to the winter terminus at Swift Current creek. 154 miles west of the later terminus at Regina, and 520 miles from Winniueff. Manitoba. No more track will be laid this year. The Silverton, which left San Francisco for Queenstown on November 16th, carried out the enormous cargo of 107,059 centals of wheat, worth $187,354. This is thought to be the largest wheat cargo ever carried in the world's history.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE. majority Report of the Joint Committee of Congress The Action Urged Upon Congress. Washington, Dec. 17. The majority re port of the joint committee to inquire into the condition and wants of American ship building and ship owning interests, and to investigate the causes of the decline of the American foreign carrying trade, was com pleted yesterday, and is very exhaustive on the subject. In considering what remedies for the prostrate condition of our carrying trade are within the reach of legislation, it is obvious that the difficulty of the problem is greatly increased by the fact that Eng land has more than a quarter of a century's start of us in working out her comprehen sive and ingenious policy of building up her merchant marine employed in the foreign trade, since iron and steel began to revolu tionize transportation. However wise may be any plan of relief and for its encourage ment, it is obvious the revival will be slow, but the stake is so great in its economical aspects and so vital' to our national growth and safety that no effort should be spared to acoomplish the end which congress had in view when this investigation was ordered. The committee states: "In endeavoring to devise a policy which will build up the iron ship-building industry in the United States and supply our ship owners with such vessels as they may want for the for eign trade at a cost no greater than the cost of vessels run by their competitors, your committee have found more or leas differ ence of opinion among ourselves as to what would be the wisest and most efficient plan. Feeling the grave importance of earnest effort to provide readily for the decadence of the AMERICAN CARRY1KC TRAPS. And recognizing that there must be some The schooner Tflose, Capt. John Uldrick, I yjjding of personal views i anything is to be dene, your committee, without waivm arrived on the 27th. She had about 100 tons of freight on board, consisting of store goods, wagons, etc. Coos Say News. The "Nora Harkins" was launched on Saturday Nov. 25th says the Coos Bay News. The launch was very successful and everything went off admirably. She will carry about 300,000 feef of lumber. The Nora Harkins was called after Mrs. Harkins, the wife of Capt Harkins, of the Truckee. The vessel lately bnilt at Grub's mill on the Coquille was successfully launched on Saturday last and named the Bella Solomon. Her dimensions are: Length of keel, 85 feet; breadtbnof beam, 30 feet, and depth of hold 6 ft. 4 in. Her carrying capacity is 230 tons, says the Coos Bay News. She was built to run between the Coquille and San Francisco, and is owned by A. Pershbacker and A Machado of the Coquille and L. Sol omon of San Francisco. She will draw about 7 feet of water when loaded and will be ready for sea in about a month when she will be commanded by Captain Young who was lately mat'e oh the s-jhr. Truckee. Having secured" the right of way through nearly all the lands on the surveying route, the .Northern facine railroad company are now making-preparations to build the line from Portlandsto Kalama. This will con nect the entiresystein of railways of Oregon and Washington With Pnget Bound. The line is 38 miles long. passenger and freight steamships for the Pacific trade,- of 2131 tons each, having a speed of 13 knots. It appears that 3,709, 845 pounds of iron, mainly in the form of plates, angles and bars, were used in the construction of the hull, engines, boilers, etc. , of each steamship. Tbe duty on iron, if imported in this form, would average under the present tariff about 1J cents per pound, about $26 for each ton of the steam ship. Tbe duty on other materials used in the hull, equipment and furniture of the steamship would carry up the drawback allowed from the treasury to about $34. The cost of cacn one of the steamships, to wnicn we nave reterreu, was $2Sb,3l7, - or $134 per ton. The net cost to the original owners of similar steamships, under the foregoing plans, after deducting the draw back, would be about $100 per ton, which, from all information obtained by your com mittee, would be substantially the cost of a similar steamship bnilt upon the Clyde. If a steamship were intended only for freight ing, with a speed of seven or eight knots, usually found in English freighting steam ers, the quantity of iron used, an:l conse quently the drawback and cost, would be considerably reduced. In the case of iron sailing vessels, only about five-eighths of the iron used in first-clas3 steamships for the hull, engines, &c, is required for a given tonnage, and the drawback would be about $15 per too. The proposed drawback therefore, will practically effect the increase in the COST Or BUILD INC An iron steamship in the United States over its cost on the Clyde. This is the unanimous judgment of ship-builders and owners so far as your committee have heard from them. This is the judgement also of the board of trade of San Francisco, which proposed this plan, the maritime association of New York and other commercial boards. So far as the original cost of any kind of vessel effects the question of the restoration of the American flag to its proper position on the ocean, there is good reason to be lieve that the policy proposed will solve the problem. As it is essential for our iron and steel ship yards to place themselves in posi tion to secure contracts for building vessels for South America, and perhaps other for eign countries, lour committee recom mend that a drawback of 10 per cent, be given on any imported materials of. vessels constructed to the United States for foreign account. The report further recommends attention to and adoption of laws to cover the object of the investigation, and in con elusion says: it is unnecessary tor your committee to dwell on the great importance for any and all legislative measures that will tend to revive the American foreign carrying trade and the- restoration of the American flag to a position on the ocean commensurate with our population, wealth and rank in the family of nations. The problem presented to congress involves in terests of exceptional importance . THE GREAT COMMERCIAL INTERESTS Of the west and south are especially cor.'' cerned. Tc-day at least 85 per cent, of their products exported to other countries depend on foreign vessels, mainly English, for transportation! and unless something is done speadily to relieve American shipp'ng engaged in foreign trade, soon our depend ence on English ocean steamers will be c m plete. This places our commerce at the mercy of England. In case of a war be tween that country and another power able to put cruisers on the ocean, American far mers and the American people as a whole suffer nearly as much as the beligerents, as, by having their exports and imports in British bottoms, it is liable to capture and confiscation. In its material aspect the shipping problem is a national one anl in no case local. It is more than a business question. It is one which affects our rank and influences a nation. A nation is known and felt outside of its own boundaries more by the flag which floats at the mast-head "of its merchant marine than by anything else. It is difficult to conceive the loss wLich we suffer, not only in national prestige, but also in national importance by the infre quency With which American vessels appear in foreign ports. The problem concerns our national in dependence and safety. In these modern times the seat of power of every nation is on the rocking waves as well as on the solid land. The naval power of every country will in tho long run be proportionate to its merchant marine. In building up our for eign carrying trade, therefore, we strength en the defences of the nation and give new security ta our republic; While some of the members of your committee do not col our in all the statements and reasoning of the foregoing report, and would recommend additional legislation, yet all concur in rcc. ommending the passage of the accompiny ing bill.

Congress is being strongly urged to extend the bond period for sprits, telegrams and petitions being received from all parts of the country. Senator Sherman thinks the per iod may be extended two years, and with this whisky men will have to be satisfied. Others concur this in view. i DeLong's Failure and Death. Calson, Nev., Dec. 17. The following appears in the Appeal of to-day: Senator Jones, who is in Carson, gives an account of DeLong's Artie expedition, which he got from Capt. Newbanm in San Francisco. Newbaum is a Russian, who has been for many years in the service of the Alaska Fur Company. He was the last man from whom DeLong.s party received provisions. He says: "DeLong left my station, almost at the northern point of Alaska, I , furnished him, at the order of the Alaska Fur Com pany, with sledges, dogs and provisions. He took 27 dogs and one Indian. I account for the loss of the party on the theory that they killed the dogs. I do not believe that DeLong knew anything about the undertak ing he was grappling with, and was ignorant of the means by which a trip could be made in that region. 1 see by this diary that there was but one dog left a few days prior to his death! He must have killed the dogs without knowing their tremendous value, and when the dogs are- gone there is abso lutely no hope. The dogs vould not have died or been lost they were killed. The scent of these dogs are remarkable, and they will detect provisions no matter where they maybe. When men in these regions kill Polar bears, and have more meet tllan they can keep, they cache the meat, and it some times lies hidden in the ice for years- until DISCOVERED BY DOGS. The ice is full of these pfaces. If you meet an Indian ithat region and kiH his dog he lies down and dies, considering that the bettei part of him is gone. An other great oversight was the neglect of taking the right kind of guns. I offered DeLoflg a fowling piece made expressly for to use in' the Artie seas and calculated to stand the climate. He refused it because he said he wanted a gun that would kill bears. 1 explaned that he needed guns for birds and not for bears, but he would not listen, to me and tock Remington rifles; the weight which hampered him and yet was of no use. He must have seen sea fowls flying over his head all the time and ceuld not kill them. Th diary says the Indian after drawing the sledge all day would go cut at night and get birds and he kept the party alive for two weeks. Anywhere you cut a hole through the ice and flash a light down the fish will swarm', but they had no fishing tackle. All their chances were threwnaway through ignorance. I am not saying a word against DeLong. I liked him personally, but he was not the man to command an Artie expedition. The North Pole, in ny opinion can be reached only by following up the warm currents which flow to the pole and beyond there is an open sea. .rut men on such an expedition who have been raised in the northern part of Alaska, and who know all about that region, and there is a strong chance of success- SHERIFF'S SALE.
