PORTLAND MUST AWAKE.
Events of m-eat interest to Eastern
Oregon are rapidly crowding upon each
otners neein. 'the lute census dernon-
etrated in a surprising manner that "the
cities on the Sound were" rapidly oiit
strioDirnr. in the face for Viorailatinn jinrl
wuiuitn-uii Biijirtmucy, tne city at me
moutnot tne Willamette. The .North
ern 'Pacific had pushed its 'way "through
the ''mountain naspes - of "Washihston.
carrying with it to the tide-waters of
tne feounci the immense products of a
vast territory that formerly paid tribute
to Portland. While the city on the
Willamette slept, her rivals ' on the
Sound were thoroughly and successfully
awake, and Portland at- last began to
realize that her commercial supremacy
was steadily but surely slipping through
her fingers. 'Then came the hope of a
line of road on the Washington side 6
the Columbiaconnected with the Hunt
system, that would tap the' great wheat
belt of Southeastern Washington and
Northeastern Oregon, and give promise
of successful competition with the North
ern Pacific and the Sound cities in the
t arrying of the products of this vast ter
ritory to the Pacific seabord by way of
Pdrtland. During all the weary years
that preceded the completion of the
Northern Pacific, the 1 monopoly
that controlled the Columbia river
pass, ' soothed ' Portland's Slumber
while it fattened on her ' commerce and
sucked her blood. "Her richest merch
ants and bankers were shareholders in
the1 monopoly arid Portland was content
withal.' But history makes itself rapidly.
v The Hunt system is no more It Is" prac
tically, and for all time, merged in the
Northern Pacific, and the hopes -of a
competing road on the north bank of the
Columbia is, for the present dead and
vytesar. uut r ortiand is at last awake.
A half million of money, no insignificant
num even for so large a city, is to be
i"- uvcjumj mc uiianner ox tne
Columbia. When this is accomplished,
vessels of the deepest draught can land
at her wharves. A twenty-eight feet
channel at the mouth of the Columbia,
as the successful result of the jetty will
make its entrance, at all! stages of the
tide, as safe as' that of any port on the
Pacific coast. But when all this is ac
complished one thing more -is needed.
n ,i,.: - ...
v.vjc1inu8 ui iiib river cnannei will
Seave Portland largely as she' is. 'Port
land's commercial supremacy ' depends
upon an open river to the sea, and the
hand of fate has at last linked her pros
perity or adversity, as a great commercial
-center with the fortune of the Inland Em
pire. The God bf providence" is a God' of
compensations and Portland's extremity
is our oppertunity. ' Portlarid must have
an open river, and all the people1 bf-the
inland Empire say, Amen. .
. lis.
LET US GET OUT . OF DEBT.
The Argentine Republic is in a' bad
way financially, notwithstanding a $50
per capita of the circulating' medium,
made out of paper, and' based on. real
estate "The government has ordered a
general suspension of business for -two
days.' . The ' decree' announces that the
days' are to be observed as holidays but
the real reason for the suspension 6'f bus
iness, is said to'lie in the desire'"6f the
government to save the Provincial bank.
There has been a run on it for several
days and it is believed the bank dare
not open its doors." This is a new' way
of paying old debts Agoing ofTori a hol
iday: "if it turns out to be a success",1 it
will pe a great thing for this country too.
In that case we may try it ourselves.
In 1801, for the purpose of raising funds
to prosecute the war, congress passed
an act levying a direct tax upon the sev
eral states proportioned to their popula
tion. The net amount that Oregon con
tributed under that law was $29,869.57.
Congres has just passed an act to reem
, burse the several states which paid their
apportionment, and under this law the
treasury of this state will soon be en
riched by the amount she paid to the
general government thirty years ago.
Pennoyer's vetoing power has not ad
ded to the nnmber of his friends in
Eastern Oregon. He should have let
our wagon road appropriations stand,
.and put the kibosh on some of the worse
than useless $20,000 "commissions," if
he had such a consuming desire to bene
fit the taxpayers. The worst punish
ment we can possibly wish the governor
is that he may sometime be obliged to
haul freight over the wagon roads in
this part , of Oregon. Grant County

GAMBLING NO CRIME IN WASH
INGTON.
. The Washington legislature has white
washed Judge Sachs, of Port Townsend,
and the state will have" to pay $1,192.97
for the material:" The judge was charged
with' gambling, with' playing faro, or as
it' is commonly, called ibuckihg-i''the
tiger," with being a frequenter of gam
bling houses, and with descending so low
as to gamble with a Chinaman. The
worst "of If is the" charges" seem to' have
been proved, but the .. legislature has
practicalhfcdecided that these things -do
not disqualify a man froni wearing the
judicial erminie and drawing a fat salary
of $3000" a : vear1 from the state. ; The
decision argues a very low moral senti
ment." Judicial authority- ought ' to be
associated with high moral rectitude.
No man is' morally .fit to pass judgment
oricrinies in' which he,' 'himself is also
guilty participator. ''.'.No' drvtokard is fit
to sit in judgment bri another drunkard
and the same is true of a gambler.'- Men
lose all' respect for law, wheii its exBcu-
fio'n is ia ' the bands' of a! transgressor,
Bad as gambling is in the private citizen,
and no words can paint its demoralizing
effects, it is doublv so in one '-whose offi
trial destruction demands that lie should
be a pattern and example to others.' " The
moral effect of the decision of the Wash
ington' legislature is, in everv wav, bad,
It is as"much as saying that no 'amount
of moral misfeasance disqualifies a ,man
foe any official authority or. position in
that state. "'I i; ' ;' '
Land commissioner Graff has -hncr-
ed his mind again, but' this change, this
tune is for the better. 'The filings 'al
ready made, under the forfeiture act are
declared " good." ' He allows they ought
not to have been made, but seeing they
are, he will let them stand. Such filings,
however may be subject to' an 'adverse
claim till the sixth day of April next
when all forfeited lands are open to en
try. 'Those who desire to Durchase the
lands and are otherwise qualified may
hie a simple application " to Durchase.
without any payment of fees. , They
have then two years in which to Bar for
the lands. - An act of 'congress extends
the time, wherein the occuparitof the
lands; at the time 'of the passage of the
forfeiture bill, may enter the same - to
six months from' the date of the issuance
of instructions from the' department at
Washington. All persons who were oc
cnpaiits.'bf the lands at '-OSS time bf "the
passage of the act 6f forfeiture have a
preference right of ehiry extending till
at least the third day of July next, or
perhaps the third of August.' for the in
structions bri 1 this point are not quite
clear. A batch of instructions was is
sued to the local land offices,' on' the
third of January last and another batch !
on the third ot February but there is
no question, that settlers have; till1 the
third of July to make their entries'.
This will give plenty of time and there
need be no unnecessary rush with' claim
