OIK WASHINGTON LETTEU.
J From our Regular Correspondent. .
Washington, .D. C, January 6, 1883.
Members of Congress seem to have
returned to their labors much refreshed
by their brief holiday. The Senate
yesterday passed the " whiskey in-bond"
Lilh eittendittsr fdr tw-d i-fiars the time
. C" y
withift which the tax must Ife paid on
the whiskey stored in bonded ware-
Tf ol
appropriation bill, and fixed a day on
Which it Would vote on the Porter bill.
The House not to be outdone, passed
the Pendleton bill, 'after a brief debate,
and also the ajpiriy appropriation bill

'fcorps, while Judge Grey of the Supreme
Jgnch, Marquis Dalle Valle, Italian
'"Charge. M. Roustan, French Minister,
and innumerable smaller fry reein force
the bachelors. The Supreme Court are
all great card players, and they have a
regular round of solemn whist parties
during the winter, which are about as
gay as a Methodist class meeting ; but
the old souls enjoy it While this will
unquestionably be a gay winter iti Wash
ington, it will not be so gay as If the 7th
"tof Ntivfcciber had been feft oat oi the

"'dished oil IHb 4th of March will not add
much to the social life of the city. Sen
ator Dawes's wife and daughter will not
be in Washington this winter, the first
time in many years. Mrs. Hoar will e
here, however. By the way, Mr. Hoar
-complaiiw that Senator Butler made
faces at hfm the other night during the
i-uuisp ui meir nttie unpittasantness.
The Butlers are a fighting race? Away
far back in English history, where Piers
Butler had his head chopped off, they
'Z.jught manfully whenever they had a
chance. Senator Butler is a cousin of
Pierce Butler the husband of Fanny Kern -ble.
The Senator has a son at Princeton
who has only recently recovered from a
-desperate illness. Mrs. Windoni will re-
ceive in her new house after the middle
' of January. v Mr. Windom volunteered
the information on the floor of the Sen
ate last week that he had a clerk removed
from the Treasury during his incumben
cy for making remarks about his house.
Mrs. Windom was formerly a teacher
and is a woman. of teste.
The bill reported to the Senate to-day
from the finance committee embodies
the internal . revenue bill which passed
the House at the last session, the tariff
schedule adopted by the committee, the
Morrill bill to provide 'a better system
for the trial of customs revenue cases,
nd the Sherman bill to regulate the
collection of customs duties. It provides
for the repeal of the tax on the the cap
ital and deposits of banks, and the abo
lition of the stamp tax on bank checks,
drafts, orders and vouchers, and the tax
n matches, perfumery, and medicinal
.preparation? on and after July 1, 1883,
the tax on snuff and manufactured to-,
bacco shall be 12 cents a pound.

the successful efforts of his great proto
type, Captain id, in another direction,
but he probably finds it necessary to
rest upon his well-earned fame.
There is considerable anxiety among
the 800 additional clerks for the pension
Office appointed in July last as to who
fchall be retained. -They were all ap
pointed on a probation of six months,
the commissioner bf pensions having
been given the right by the Secretary of
the Interior to reappoint feuch as he de
sired. It is thought tliafc about 75 have
not made a teeord which will insure a
reappointment Oh the permanent roll,
and their plattes will be filled iiy hew
appointments. Who the unfortunates
are the pension Dice declines to state.
There is also a state of uncertainty a
ta ng the tletks of the census office, a
heavy discharge being daily expected.
The first 'batch of removals :took place

tural division of .the office having been
COLUMBIA COUNTY.
In viewing the opportunities for set
tlement and investment presented by the
great J regions east, sqush and north of
Portland, we are apt to overlook equally
inviting fields nearer home. No section
of Oregon or Washington lla3 greater
attractions for the immigrant or the
capitalist than our next-door neighbor,
Columbia cotlnty. Its chief resources
are iron, ctfal ahd timber, resources for
whose development capital is required,
and so diirin'4 the early, moneyless age
of the country, now passing away, they
have lain unused-. The iron basin south
of the toliimbia river extends from a
lille mid Way between jthe northern and
southern boundaries of Clackamas coun
ty, north to the river j that occupies the
space between the Cascade and Coast
rahge oi .mountains, j The greatest de
posits have been found at Oswego, in
Clackamas county and in the mountain
district of Columbia, west of St. Helens,
and within a few mile.sof the Columbia
j
river. r
Among the several scientific men who
have examined the Columbia ledres.
seven of which haveleen opeiied, are
Prof. Hilgard, of the jttMvorsity of Cal
ifornia, and Mr. Philip East wick, the
well known civil and; mining engineer.
Prof. Hilgard has reported that the iron
fields of Columbia County yield the same
excellent quality of ore found at Oswego,
and that they are practically inexhaust
ble. All the mountains of that region,
lie says, are capped
with iron. Mr.
Eastwick's report is equally favorable.
The most promising ledges are less than
ten miles from Columbia City, one of
the best deep-water points on the river,
and accessible by easy grades. Much
iron land is held by non-resident capi
talists, but a greater part is owned by
citizens of the county, who, secure in
the prssfcssitMt of ."ajgood thing," are
biding their. time. j
Equally valuable are the coal lands of
the county. They lib close to the river
and like the iron deposits are practically
inexhaustible. The ledges opened and
the fields about therii have beeji careful
ly examined by Prof. Hilgard and others
and the verdict of allj is that in quality
the coal is similar to tliH Coos Biv conl,
and that the quantity, is vast beyond -s-tinlate.
These lands are held by resi
dents of he county arid, so we are in
formed, are in the nlairket.
Another great resource of Columbia
county is in its forests of fir and cedar
timler. Giant trees jstand in countless
thousands in its river; and mountain re
gions. According to the report of Gen.
Tannatt, to build a railroad through the
co'ttrity tor the sole purpose of bringing
this timber to the market wottld be prof
itable as an investment.
There is also much; good agricultural
and dairy land in Columbia county.
The river bottoms afford fine pasturage
and the forest ranges are of the highest
practical value. The Kehalem valley
in the middle of the! county and about
twenty miles west of the Columbia river,
concains much rich prairie, alder an;l
maple land and is the seat of a large and
srrowing settlement j This
region
has
been but recently opened, and there is
room in it for two hundred more fami
lies. Along the bottoms of the creeks
which seam the county there are hun
dreds of patches of rich land, almost all
of which has been claimed. Much of it
is held for speculation however, and can
be bought cheaply and on easy terms.
All this region enjoys jthe special advan
tage of nearness to market and of cheap
water freights to and from Portland. It
is easily and cheaply accessible, and the
investor or the immigrant can at little
cost of time and money look the country
over for hirnself. j
The people of Columbia county have
ambitious hopes. They 3xpect a large
population and great business move
ments as a result of development of the
resources we have enumerated, and, fur
ther look upoit theirj embryo town of
Columbia City as a future shipping
point. Its location below the obstruct
ing bars of the Willamette and Colum
bia vera, and the fact that there, or
f
or very near there, will be the North
em Pacific railroad crossing, certainly
are circumstances in favor as a shipping
point for Portland arid for the future
products of Columbia county. Although
its groat resources have scarcely been
touched, Columbia is a prosperous coun
ty. Iarge merchant lumber mills at
St Helens, Columbia jCity and Rainier
have been in operation for years, and
small schooner and steamboat building
yards have been established at the first
and last named places. General busi
ness is cood in proportion to the pooula
tion, and in the way of churches schools
and social institutions' the county is a-
hrast of the times. Orcfonian.
Easy Work.
To publish a newspaper is just as easy
as falling off a log. Get some muggins
to buy you a press who has as much lit
erary judgment as one of Snell's goats
gt a second hand press with the type
well mixed, nothing like pi composed
of many ingredient", it is a good thing
to bfirig on the back ache, and make one
use fcHss words, next select some back
room-, nothing like going to the rear, it
gives you a chance to come forward
when youtget to be fan! oils, then your
ideas will be bright enough, to set them
up without sunlight, sunlight might 'fad
them, best to hang them in the sha!e
to dry; get a little old cracked stove, sd
your ideas will not melt and you caH
warm them over provided you ever get
on credit a Stove big enough. If yoti
have not the .ability to run a newspaper
send to some- lieighlioring sawmill, aiia
get one sawed out Give your newspa
per some gusillng, liquid name, some
thing that will dry up easy. There is
no work to a Newspaper anyway. Afc
ter you havd once mixed it up and put
it into bake, even if you are only half
baked yourself, yott can then sit down
lv the stove, warm your shins, run your
fingers through your hair, read the ex
changes, and when the day of issue comes
it will work itself clear like old cider.
All those you puff will each and every one
rush in and deposit a twenty dollar gold
piece. We know one man that was
killed by being trodden on by those so
anxious to get in to pay their subscrip
tions, lie died a vt;ry lingering deatli.
If you are an Editor you can ride free
on the steamboats by setting up a 16
column puff and feeing the waiters twice
as much as your regular ticket would
co-i vti'di
If you hire printers, they will wbrk for
a puff ; that is what they live on arid buy
their clothes witli. If you should do
any work yourself you will find-lithe
cleanest, nicest work you ever did. Ink
rives such a dark rich look to evCiV
thins: it touches. You will find it mtfeh
easier to get yourself set up than to tH
up a paper. One thing that will ifi
crease your funds is the advice you will
receive which is worth its weight in gold:
You can get money for it at any bank.
If you wish to get riclij publish a news
paper, you can soon havti a horse of your
own if nothing more than ft saw horse.
You may get to be President of some
club from some enraged subscriber.
We make the following extracts from
a letter of our nephew Hoil. A. B. Ad
ams. Kansas City, Mci. Jan. fid. 1883.
My Dear Uxcle Georoe 1 wish
you ntit your family a llap'py New
Year. To-day in Kansas City we have
about X inch of snow, and here in the
city the sleighing is finei bHt will soon
be gone. This is a place that is gbing
right along, and is soon to become the
greatest beef-packing city In the U. S.
There is now about 1 20 thousand people
hire, and still the place has only begun
to grow. Crea that used to hold head
quarters here and the bushwhackers are
almost all gone. Frank James is here
in jail; he is to le tried the 22d. of this
month.
I don't know whether T ever wrote
and told you that my wife and self are
both Doctors. Well, for the past six
years I have been studying this besides
my other work, and some time ago
passe 1 muster, so now I am fully pre
pared to build up a practice in this.
My wife has been in this for five years
or ever since she was 18 years old. The
outlook is that we can build up a big
practice here in Kansas City.
Let us hear from you soon.
We have made soni remarkable cures
when all others had failed. Cured one !
of first lawyers of Kansas of paralysis; I
he had been sick for three years; also a
lady of Topeka, Kansas, who had been j
sick for many years and whose husband
Dr. W. C. Hausteuber said she could
not live 24 hours.
Hoping this may find you all in
health, I bid you good bye,
From your affect nephew
Dr. A. B. Adams. .
