The Montana Trade. The report of
Mr. Philip liitz, of Walla Walla, concern
ing the traffic with Montana, settles the
matter in favor of the Columbia river, lie
has lately returned from the East, whither
he went on purpose to inquire into matters
connected with11 this subject, and after
gathering all the information atta nable
on his trip, he expresses the unqualified
opinion that the Montana trade belongs to
the Pacific slope, and that even goods from
Ne v York can be transported to Virginia
City or Helena via Portland, Oregon
should the Mullan road be opened for
wagons cheaper than by the way of St.
Louis and the Missouri river. Freight
from New York to St. Louis, he says,
costs $70 ton, while the same goods can
be put down in Portland for about 62o.
From St. Louis to Helena, by river and
.wagon road is near 2,000 miles travel ;
from Portland to Helena, by river and
wagon road-, is about 750 mile. With an
appropri ation of 875.000 he thinks every
part of the l oad from Walla Walia to Hel
ena can be put in excellent condition for
heavy teaming, and that then, goods can
be transported tin ough from Portland at
less cost than from St. Louis. We of this
bide 'would have another advantage : while
the boats from St. Louis can make only
one trip in a 'season, the same team on this
fcide could make two, if c not .three trips.
Mr. Ilitz expresses surprise that Portland
should quietly allow St. Louis to appro
priate the0 Montana trade when the facts
" are patent that the most of it could be k--eured
by the former with less than half
the expense and difficulties encountered
iy the St. Louis people.
A MiSAFi'REincxsiox. The able editor of
the Reekie, says the Lafayette Omr'ter.
guided doubtless by the light he has, is
persuaded that the Order of Good Temp
lars in Oregon is intended to be used as an
auxiliary to Radicalism. .This, we think
is a mistake : or at all events such a con-
eh'ision is erroneous so far as Yamhill
r-VfUn-tjr ' i-s , concerned. Among the most
. implacable enemies of ' the institution in
this portioh'of the State, are to be found
- the most uncompromising radicals. Among
Good Templars, and with reference to the
Order, so far as our observation has ex
' tended, politics are ignored. If it is the
purpose of any one to use the order as a
stepping stone to political preferment, we
do not see where the Democracy has any
thing to lose, as. the field is clear, alike to
bath parties ;-and we rauf.t be permitted
to say, once for all, that if to be a Demo-
orat is to place one in an attitude of an
; tagoriism to any rational reform in ihe
matter of intemperance, we most respect
fully beg leave to be excused from being
a Democrat. It does not so place any
- one. and so long as the counsels of knaves
who occasionally find their way into tem-Oni-ranee
organizations, are disregarded,
the temperance reform will move on with
out iiuy reference to any of the political
organizations of the day. That there are
men wl would prostitute the Order to
advance personal end, sc do not doubt.
Judas sold our Sariour for thirty pieces of
silver, and this age cannot hope to be ex
empt from the baleful influences of dema
gogues and tricksters.
The Revieir replies by saying that & re
gards S.ileru it is not mistaken. We hmk
that no better method could be adopted
jiun the course being .pursued by the Jie
vieic, to run it into' politics. We assert
here that the remarks of the Revieir, as re
gards . the Order in Salem, were false,
.uiii uncalled for.
Tlie I-it limits.
As will be seen by a paragraph which
we quote. Mr. Philip Ilitz states that freight
from Xew York to St. Louis is $70 per
ton, against $23 to Oregon. It has often
occurred to us that the people of our
State were standing in their own light
v ery much, by not encouraging, as they
well might do, more of direct trade with
the Atlantic seaboard. Freight can be
brought from New York to Portland just
as cheaply as it can be brought to San
Francisco, and the only means we have of
exporting being by shipments at sea, it is
very reasonable to suppose that the pros
perity of Oregon is kept back, beyond
calculation, for the want of tonnage which
is to be had only when our importers
laden their vessels for Portland, instead of
San Francisco.
The Pacific Railroad will be of no ad
vantage to Oregon. The Isthmus of Cen
tral America must be intersected by a ship
canal. That is the opinion of Pear Ad
miral Davis, as given in a recent official
report to the United States Government,
and it seems to us that few persons who
who weigh his statements well can reject
his conclusion. The construction of the
canal would be very expensive, and might
require much lime,but the interests that de
mand it. and the profits to be derived from
it. are so great that every obstacle will be
overcome.
Admiral Davis estimates the value of
the cargoes and ships that would pass
through the canal annually, to be a saving
of Siy,530.2(JS, and that calculation was
made on the figures of lHoii and '1857,
when the trade was far less than it is now.
We have not the space here to verify Ad
miral Davis' calculations, but we have no
doubt of their rener.il accuracy. Accent
ing them as correct, it follows that the
work must be done. The loss of 850.000,
000 represents the interest on 8500,000
000, and it is impossible that the canal
should cost any such sum. That loss of
850,000,000 annually is borne chiefly by
the Pacific Coast, and it is a serious obsta
cle to the progress of the commerce of our
ocean. Tt is peculiarly the interest of
Oregon, therefore, to have this canal
made, and we trust that all the energy and
influence of the public opinion of the State,
and of our delegation in Congress, will be
given to this great work.
Upon this subject the Alia says : A large
part of the trade between the Atlantic and
the Pacific must always be done by ship.
No other mode of transportation is so
cheap. The ocean is a road that never
gets out of order. There are no large ex
penses for repairs no large capital for
grading and getting the track. The Pa
cific Railroad will be a grand thing for
passengers and treasure, and certain

The lR:i.Y Mail. We observe by the
advertisement of the Postmaster General
.that the daily overland mail between Port
land and Lincoln will be re-let on the
3d of August next. Proposals may also
e submitted for six times a week service
from Lincoln toShasta ; three times a week
from Shasta to Eugene City. 317 miles;
and .six times a week from Eugene City to
Portland, on a schedule to be proposed by
"bidders.
lasses of merchandise, but wheat, rice,
iron, wool, leather, wine, hides, ore, and
those articles which form the bulk of the
im-ports and exports cannot afford to cross
the continent by rail, though they may
and will be carried bv car to interior
points where no ships can compete. The
ship is the cheapest mode of transportation
known. The commercial communities are
collected on the .shores of the two oceans,
and most cf them are in the Northern
Hemisphere. The ship sailing from New
York goes in a direct liue to Liverpool,
but in a very crooked one to Valparaiso,
Shanghai or San Francisco ; and the line
is long because it is crooked. New York
is in latitude -11 degrees north, but the
ship cannot make the trip from one port
to the other without going to latitude 50
degrees south, a deviation of 87 degrees,
or 0,090 miles. There is. in fact, no port
on the North Atlantic from which the dis
tance to any port on the Pacific would not
be shortened by a Ship Canal at Panama.
If there were only one or two ships" en
gaged in the trade, the loss would be
slight, but there are hundreds, and the
trade is increasing at a wonderful rate.
The intercourse between nations, and the
exchange of their products are growing
with wonderful rapidity. China and Japan
are just learning to use and to demand
the productions of the Caucasians, and
when they become skilled in the arts of
Europe, they will have the means and the
disposition to r : ame the luxuries of Eu
rope. Chiie, I "era, Australia and 2sew
Zealand have all entered upon careers
that promise brilliant prosperity. The
trade of the Pacific doubles now in every
deceunium.

The six Indians reservations in Oregon
contain a reputed Indian population of
9,571. This gives each Agent an average
of something over 1,500 Indians to man
age. The three Agencies at Grande
Itonde, Alsea and Selitz, have an aggre
gate population of 3,740.
The summer of Oregon cannot be ex
celled. W hen we have clear weather we
think it is the most beautiful enjoyed by
any people not even excepting the Ital
ians. It seldom freezes in the Willamette
Valley, in winter, and when it does turn
cold it does not last long not more
than two or three days.
The land in the Willamette Valley, for
fertility and beauty, cannot be excelled
by any similar quantity of land on the
globe. And we can say of it what can
not be said, we believe, of any other,
viz : it never fails to produce a fair crop.
Crops, in portions of California, three
years ago, were cut off by the drouth ;
but not so with Oregon. It never fails
to reward the hiiebaudman. Besides all
this, such a thing as the rust in wheat
is not know n here, nor indeed any other
enemy of the cereals. . -
The Herald says Salmon Bros, of Oregon
City, have invented a new steam or water
motor, a small working model of which
they tested at the Willamette iron Works,
yesterday afternoon. They got a speed
equal to 300 revolutions per minute,
which they consider highly satisfactory ;
The machine is simple and cheap, and
may prove a good substitute for the en
gines used in working propellers. A pat
ent has been applied for. We are not
acquainted with the Salmon Bros."
Perhaps it is intended for Smith Bros.
It is a matter of much importance to this
part of the country, that the roads are
kept in a passable condition at all sea
sons of the year. And the only way
to do this, is to improve them in good
weather. .Now the practical question is ;
how many men will take hold ot the
work and do something more than the
law ' requires, before the next rainy sea
son, to have the worst parts of the road
repaired, so traveling can be done on
the surface of the earth with facility ?
The 'Roseburg Ensign says : Opinions
have been xpro?sud trom high authority,
that there is danger of our daily mail
being lest, as the Postal Department is
cutting down expenses wherever possi
ble. We ha e no doubt our Senators
and representative, in Congress, will
oppose having so large a majority of
their constituents thus stinted, merely for
the parsimonious saving of a trifling and
nece ssary expense Some of the citizens
of Koseburg have viewed the route for
a wagon road from Looking glass pra
irie, to Coos river. It is not more than
tw-enty miles from level ground to tide
water on Coos river. There is room for
several families to find good homes on
mis route.

adopted, affirming adhesion to Northern
Republicans.
Riots are frequent in Richmond be

The burning of the steamer Mariner
by the Indians on the upper Missouri river

A speci -1 from Washington says a dele
gation of Masons from Boston had an inter
view with the-President, inviting his pres
ence at a celebration on the 21th of June.
Twenty Knights Templars propose to
form an escort. The President replied
that he would probably attend. His final
decision will be influenced by the course
of the reconstruction movement.
The Overland Vnail for Oregon. Washing

It is rumored that the Inman Steamship
Company are about to change their des

account of the lower emigration charges.
A special from -Washington, says that a
deputation of Irish Americans waited on
the President, asking the Government to
intercede in behalf of the Fenians, who
claim American citizenship. The Presi
dent promised to submit the petition to
the Cabinet.
Congressman Kelly was assaulted by a
mob in Mobile a few. days since. The
New York specials generally agree that
the attack was preconcerted and stimulat
ed by an incendiary article in the Mobile
Tunes and other papers. Kelly had been
speaking a quarter of an hour on temper
ance. A hundred persons were on the
platform, including eminent, citizens and
reporters. The Chief of Police attempted
to arrest the ringleader, who drew a pis
tol. Somebody, called on him to fire, his
friends dragging Kelly away anil the
crowd flying in all directions. There was
no attempt by the police to arrest any of
the parties. It is complained that the
police do not exercise power sufficiently
under the military bill for the protection
of loyalists.
Pick out the Best. Preserve the finest
productions for family use. This advice
should have a wide application. What
ever is choicest and most valuable should
be saved for family use. Sort over a.
few barrels of the 'best apples, have the
children pick out the largest eggs ; when
corn is to be ground, select the best ears,
and carefully fan and reserve the plump
est wheats Pick out the cheese which has
ihe choicest flavor, lay by the whitest
clover honey, and salt down the healthiest,
tenderest. and the best fatted beef and
pork. Build up civilization and refine
ment at home ; the children will prize
it, and when they have homes of their
own they will know how to do it. This
course will establish an aristocracy and
a nobility honorable to free America.
Second and third quality productions are
to be sold. If city people do not like
it. let them have land of their own, and
be equally rich. But no matter how good
an article you may sell, it will not be
retailed pure. First-class productions are
used only for adulteration, to raise the
grade of inferior articles. A family liv
ing on the best, and in good houses,
will make more money than by taking
up with scraps and leavings. This is
agreeably to a law of human existence.
Second-class food produces second- lass
ideas, which are weak, and second-class
men, which are weaker.
Ixwax Matter's. The conduct of the
agents of the Indian departments very
often bring disgrace upon themselves, and
trouble to the country. Bogy's pecula
tions have been large. Now we are in
formed by telegraph that Col. Leaven
worth has been guilty of selling a quan
tity of goods belonging to the Kiowas, for
his own benefit. Leavenworth replied
that he had kept back the annuity under
orders from Washington. Sitantee thought
Hancock did wrong in burning the Chey
cnues and Sioux villages. Hancock an
swered that he did so because the Indians
lied and acted treacherously. We have
positive information that agenlshavc "lied
and acted treacherously" for years prior
to the Indian outbreak in Minnesota.
Fixe Beeves Coming. We learn that
Thomas Cross, of Marion county, will ar
rive in the city to-day, with Ifi head of the
largest aud best beeves ever raised in
Oregon. These animals have been stall
fed, and it is said will average 1.100
pounds dressed. Mr. Cross has been un
able to sell his stock to the Portland
butchers for the reason that they ajje not
willing to pay any more for cattle like his
than for the scrubs which they pick up
through the country. After giving our
citizens an opportunity to inspect his cat
tle. Mr. C. wilt ship them to Monlicelio.
from v. hence they will be driven to Olvm
pia and thence transported across the
Sound to Victoria, where the butchers are
alwavs anxious to purchase fine beeves.

tested the ware by use for two years, and
know that the crockery made by Smith &
