- OREGON SENTINEL. JACKSONVILLE: Saturday, apbil 1, 18321 KKTTEK FROM J08EFBME. Wilderville, March 24th, 1882. Ed. SexthJel: "A word to you my looy." The name of this town when contrasted with the beautiful feminine name of the county, in which it is sit uated, impresses the mind of the trave ler,(before seeing it) that it must be a lively, wideawake and rushing town. But on getting here, it reminds him of a weak and feeble invalid with little hope of convalescence. I find the coun ty very broken and sparsely settled, and very little interest taken in this part of it, to develop its agriculture, horticultural, or its stoik raising fa. cilities by its mosi primitive settlers. Their farms, and donation claims do not blossom muchly like the rose, and their fences and buildings seem to have become disheartened through utter neglect. A school teacher's association is being held here this week and quite a.fair representation of intelligent look ing ladies and gentlemen has gathered in from the vallejs and hillsides and a lively and commendable interest seems to be taken in the cause of education. This afternoon while the teachers and more civilized citizens hereabout were earnestly engaged in discussing ways and means to encourage and build up the good cause, two of.the old settlers made some native fun for a lot of idle lounging boys outside, by taking a lit tle turn on the green. One of them we heard was a Bull, but the other fel low capsized the insolent old toro, who came out third or fourth best and looked as if he had fallen from a tree and struck on his physiognomy ou a stone pile. Traveler. Ballrond News. It is currently reported that within thirty days there will bo a force of at least five thousand Chinese at work Bouth of Roseburg. There are atpresent over one thousand and all the piling and 6roall bridgeing is finished to Myr tle Greek and work will soon begin on the large bridge across the South Ump qua. It is now thought that the road will be finished and in running order to "Jump off Joe" by next winter. The Portland Mercury says: Judge "Willis of Roseburg, reeeived the con tract on Friday frotn the O. it C. R..Bi Co. to furnish all the timber to be used in the extension from Roseburg. The contract will reach nearly 20,000,000 feet and amouat to about $500,000. Judge "Willis purchased two steam saw mills in the city and will ship them to their destination. Whenever the tim ber is exhausted where they first lo eate,rthec mill will be moved to better neighborhoods. Hon. Sol Abrahams ia security for the f ullfilment of the contract. He and Judge Willis own all the timber land on which they are about to operate. The contract will necessitate the employment of a large number of hands. It could not have been awarded to more responsible and reliable gentlemen. It is the intention of. the. railroad company to press the work as much as possible and complete a goodly portion of tho line this year. Admission or Washington. The Congressional Committee on Territories have recommended the pas sage of the bill to admit "Washington Territory as a state. Tho bill is amend ed so as to leave off the portion of Idaho the inhabitants of which desired to be annexed to Washington. The report of. the committee shows that Oregon, at the next census, a year after her ad Mission had a population of only 52, 465 while the census of 1880 gives Washington 75,116. It also shows that the Territory is out of debt with a. eurpln of $22,217.94 in the treasury and a tax of only 2 mills. As the TerriUry has a Republican majority the vote on admission will be a strict party one but as it is stated that David Davis favored the admission of Dakota under like political conditions Wash ington will probably bo admitted to the sisterhood by a closo vote and there is no just reason why she should not be. A writer in the Albany "Herald" asks if the Republicans of Southern Oregon desire Mr. Beekman for Gov. ernor. We can only answer that Mr. Beekman is the first choice in this end of the State and point to the remarka ble vote he received in Jackson county, fonr years since,, as an earnest of his acceptability. We believe that Mr. Beekman is really the choice of the Republican party throughout the whole Btate and if the convention represents the party honestly he will bo nominat ed. If, on the contrary, it is captured by political intriguers he will not and the nomination will be given to- some one craving office more than he and willing to do dirty work for it. ADTICE-JfOT DICTATION. "The Republican papers have Been captured by Congressman George, and contrary to aH precedent,, they are nearly unanimously at work advocat ing his nomination. This duty has heretofore devolved upon the conven tion, but the organs seem to dictate in his case what the convention should do." The above, from the Portland "Stan dard" is true, only so far as it points to a unanimity on the part of the Re publican press of Oregon regarding Mr. George's re-nomination. Thepress has not been "captured" by Mr. George but is, so far as he is concerned, mere ly a reflex of the feeling in the party. There is a general conviction that we have a useful and honorable represen tative in Congress whose sole ambition is to discharge his trust for the benefit of the whole commonwealth and, thus far, he has been a credit to his constit uency. There is a growing sentiment against changing public servants in positions they are eminently qualified to fill and where their services are val uable in proportion to their experience. It is the knowledge of the wide appre ciation of Mr. George's honorable pri vate character and his fidelity to his public duty that prompts the press, with a singular unanimity, to point out to the convention that safety and suc cess will bo the result of his re-nomination and that his recall, just at the time he has reached an eminence never before reached by a representative of Oregon, would be an act of folly and an injustice both to the State and to the gentleman himself. The office of representative is not one for individual benefit to be bandied about among needy political hacks like a foot ball. It is one where the character, the in terests, the voice of the whole people of Oregon are concentrated in a single individual and if our young Congress man is accepted as a fair type of the people he represents, the eastern States may well be proud of their western sister. Mr. George has obtained a position on the committee of Com merce, a position of the highest im portance, never before accorded to Oregon, and he is where ho can render the most effective service. If the con vention decide to recall him tho act will be equivalent to a declaration that we want no representation on that committee and will be a mistake fatal to the best interests of the State. FBEE TBADE OU PUOTECTIOX. Which is itjxhat ie "CtregojiianJl advocates? "Hot or cold with the same breath" seems to be the rule of that paper and it is somewhat amusing to observe the inconsistencies of its various positions. Drifting with pop ular opinion it has been opposed to Chinese labor when performed on American soil but demands free trade in all foreign commodoties knowing that "free trade" would build up man ufactories in China whose products could and would, if admitted free of duty, drive American artisans to the wall. Free trade means univertal competition, protection to nothing and yet this sheet continually opposes the opening of the upper Columbia to free navigation; so that a railroad cor poration may have an exclusiye monop oly of the carrying trade of tho Colum bia basin. It sneers at tho possibility of a railroad from Yaquina bay to the center of the Willamette valley and tries to break down tho credit of the company by a wise prediction that it will never realize interest on the in vestment; for fear a dollar will be drawn away from Portland. It preaches free trade in one breath as a blessing and confesses in the next that the experiment in that direction with the Sandwich Islands is a curse. It denounces protection of any kind as the greatest of evils but sticks to its monopoly of the press dispatches know ing that without that protection it would die of its own greatness just as Julius Ceasar and Daniel Lambert did. When that paper, that assumes the right to speak for the people of Ore gon, ceases its attacks ou the Oregon Pacific and the Cascade locks and re linquishes its monopoly of press dis patches so that other papers may com pete with it, it may then talk free trade with a good grace and apparent sin cerity. Until it does the public will only laugh at its vagaries and under stand that it is only its own friend and can blow "hot or cold" whenever its intrests demand either. Hon. D. P. Thompson, Mayor of Portland, declines the nomination for Governor by a card in the "Oregonian". We know of no other man in Oregon better fitted for the executive office than Mr. Thompson and his services in the Legislative investigation of 1878 should be held ingrateful remembrance. The office that he now holds is of equal importance with that of Governor and his own business demands on bis time have prompted him to the declination of a position offering no additional hon or and involving actual .pecuniary loss to the person filling it. The Chinese BUI. Speaking of the Chinese bill the S. P. "Chronicle" says: "The bill passed the House without amendment, all those offered being promptly rejected. The amendments made in the Senate covered all tho points which had been thought weak and doubtful. That extending the time when the law is to bpcome operative to ninety days was a needless concession to corporate in fluence, but where everything else is so satisfactory we feel little disposition to complain. Grover's provision forbi ding naturalization was a wise a: thoughtful amendment. It was al well to define tho term "Chinese la' orers" to mean those skilled and t skilled, and those working in min The bill, in the form in which it w go to the President, provides that fi twenty years after it becomes operati thero shall be no immigration Chinese laborers into the United State; and prescribes a fine not to excer $500, and a term of imprisonment n to exceed one year, as the punishme: of any master of a vessel that sh bring them. Prom the operation the law there are only excepted m chants, teachers, students, travel diplomatic agents, and Chinese labor who were in the country previous November 17. 1881, all of whi classes must be properly identified passports duly executed by the Chin authorities, and countersigned by I representatives of the United Stat residing in China. It is in form that any friend of California has right to ask, and there is no appare reason why it should not accompli all that is expected of it." NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. C. U. KEED.
