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.
