AMERICAN EXPORTS- The national grange which met at Topeka, Kansas, last year set in mo tion an investigation concerning the amount of American products export ed to Other countries and its relation to the whole supply at the sections to which our exports went. The subject was placed in the hands of Statistician Dodge of the agricul tural- department. He lias prepared and submitted an interesting report. It shows that of the 144,000,000 bushels of wheat which Europe im ports to patch out its own production the United States furnishes 95,000,000 bushels. We also send about 2,500, 00v0 bushels of oats and 3,000,000 bushels of rye to the markets of the old world. In the matter of com the United States is a large exporter - send ing annually 68,000,000 bushels across the Atlantic. We also send 25,000,000 pounds of butter and 118, 000,000 fioundu of cheese to our cousins across the sea. The greatest article of export from America to Europe is cotton. The total import of Europe is 2,636,000, 000 pounds, of which 1,850,000,000, or over two-thirds, comes from the United States. It is no wonder that "cotton was king" in the free trade days before the war. Our wool export eomes next to the cotton shipment, being 600,000,000 sent annually to Europe. The conclusion reached from these figures and their comparison with the data of former years is thatMhe Uni ted States is becoming more and more a self sustaining and expoiting nation. About one-tenth of our agricultural products rre exported. No other na tion flan show so large a proportion. While our exports are yearly on the increase our imports are annually growing less in amount and ' vari ety. Every year new industries are springing up to supply our people with goods hitherto sent from the factories of the old world Tins is a most j flattering and hopeful condition of trade and production. POSTAL CARD CONTRACT. The contract for furnishing postal cards to the United States government for the four years beginning October 1st has been awarded by Acting Post master General Clarkson to Albert Doggett of New York, the lowest bid der. In addition to thu present size tvo new sizes will be furnished to the public one smaller than the card now in use and the other larger. Al lowing for the difference in weight, the cards are about one-third cheaper in the new contract than in the old one. The average price of the cards is about 9 cents a pound in the old con tract and about 6 cents a pound in the new one. The estimated number of cards to be required during the four years of the contract term is 2,000, 000,000, at a cost of about $300,000. The reduction in cost for the four years will amount to fully $150,000, as compared with the price in the old con tract. Citizens, don't worry about Cor vallis; it will take care of itself. Don't let your minds dwell one minute on the idea that it would be a good plan to clean her Main 6treet. Improvement is good for the soul, the body and the mind, but in this case it is completely knocked out. We don't want . those large rocks taken off the street, it wouldn't : give you a chance to take your vehicle to the blacksmith so often; it might cause gome eastern visitor to remark that this "is a ' beautiful city." No, don't for any length of time think that this improvement ought to be done. MAY IMPEDE THE WORK. An impoatant decision has been ren dered in Judge Deady's court in the case of Samuel Case vs. the U. S. gov ernment to restrain the construction of the government ietty in front of the Ocean House at Yaquina Cay. The decision, which is liable to result in an interference with the work on the north beach jetty, was rendered upon a demurrer filed by' the defendants. and the gist of it is as follows: 'This suit is brought, to have the defendant enjoined from constructing a tramway along the northern shore of Yaquina bay, near its mouth, in front of certain property belonging to the plaintiff, where access to the bay from said property is hindered and prevent ed. "It is alleged in the bill that the J plaintiff is the owner of a tract of land in Benton county, Oregon, known as the Ocean House property and worth 15,000, with a tavern on it .which cost $6000; that said property abuts on the northern shore of said bay, into which the plaintiff has constructed a private wharf, to and from which, coods and passengers are transported across said shore between said bay and tavern; that Yaquina bay is navigable for all ordinary vessels and is within the ebb and flow ot the ordinary tides of the Pacific ocean, whereby said shore is daily covered and .uncovered for an average distance of 100, feet; that the defendant is wrongfully and unlawfully engaged in constructing a wooden tramway over and along said shore in front of said property, With intent to maintain the same there for at least three years, which will com pletely cut off and prevent access from said bay or wharf to said tavern and vice versa, to the great damage of the plaintiff. The plaintiff is the owner of land abutting on the "shore" of Yaquina bay. How he acquired it does not ap pear, and it may not be material. ; But the title must be derived from the United States, under some of the acts of congress, providing for the disposi tion of nublic lands in Oregon. Be " W this as it may, as a littoral proprietor, he has a right of access from his prem ises to the water, and to erect and maintain a private wharf there, at which to land and embark, so long as he does not materially interfere with the rights of the public, and subject to the power of the legislature to regu late such use or privilege. " The defendant has no special right in the "shore" or to the use of it, be yond that of the general public, which does not include the right to construct or maintain a tramway or other struc ture upon or . over it that would pre vent or substantially impair the littoral proprietor's right or privilege of access to and from the water. It does not appear from the bill that this tramwav is in fact such a struc ture, or whether the rail or track is laid level with the sand or earth or not. Presumably it is so, But it was admitted on the argument that it is twelve or fifteen inches above the sur face of the ground, and therefore can not be crossed by a wheeied vehicle, unless it is bridged.' . Prima facie, then, the tramway is a nuisance, which works a special injury to the plaintiff, and the defendant ought not to be allowed to maintain it; and an injunction is the proper remedy for the wrong." It is to be regretted if the decision in this case results . in an interruption of the work upon the north jetty: or imnsira the fullest benefits from the work by causing the removal of the projection within the channel.
