A ISLIXD: HIAX BLTFFDD. - w c nave received, a marked copy ot the Springfield Siaulay Rejmblicati. In it is a corrTondence datfd Portland Ort'o. It Starts in to "state " there ara jtwo great rivals for tlie internal water communication of the Northern Pacific States the Columbia River sys tem ami the Paget Soared system." In a short time, it makes a statement that is altogether false, as we shall demon strate, and any niau that uses his eyes can see for himself that wo tell the trutli. It states the Columbia River " has no large towna on it banks, and no" rcry good Bites for them." "What is the mat ter with Columbia Citf, cr rather the country on the Oregon side from Milton to Deer Island or even to ColHn Rock? 'There is provision for everything a big city needs. There is ground not subject to overflow, there is an unfailing supply of wood, water and adjacent garden land. There is an easy and inexpensive com nrunicatioa with all parts of the world, there is coal, iron and building and pav ing stone in abundance. There is noth ing wanting but appreciative men of brains to see the situation, and improve it, and make, themselves millionaires without the slow process of skinning ev erybody and everything-. We advise the Springfield Republican to send the next time a maii that tan see. Their corros- "pondent miist be a blind man, and wrote just what some Portlander told him. " We shall send a marked cor y of the Columbian to the Springfield Republi can which will convince thera that wo are not ulina it the corresponded ia. 2ovr where is there a city in Arrenca ; bis as good a site as Columbia City or even St. Helen i Alongside their wharves the biggest ships can come in safety, and - tinlightered. There i3 an immense length for wharfage, and good"? once stored, there will be no call for handling or ex tra i are till finally disposed of. With rf A j? .u.-t. l ; loJ.-..! ordinary cuutea aiuia ta.ii u iuum tit once with little expense and few hands. . .AH along, the river from Colam- bia City to Milton ships can bo loaded and warehouses built. The sire CI Co lumbia City is really beautiful. There is a gradual fiic' from the river but not abrupt or quick. There is not a solitary piece of land for miles back, but what would make a good building lot, and ev Yrv inch left is susceptible of cultivation. St. Helen has more waste land for ag ricultural purposes, but raising cabbages is "not the business cf large cities, but - right about St. Helen in her swamps and beaveiuams could be raised garden " truck enough to supply a city like San Francisco. Milton Creek can supply St Helen and Columbia City with the purest mountain water on the globe, Colum bia City or St. Helen are the natural 'outlet of the Nehalem Valley which next to the Willamatte Valley is the finest : in America; Hardly any one has any idea of the possibilities of Nehalem Val ley. Its fertility is beyond computation. We here have all the advantages of Portland, and deep water in addition. "Somebody thinks this the greatest point on the Columbia River in the near fu ture, as alruest all the land is bonded for miles. It is now just like the lull be fore the din of battle. Soon thero will be such a " getting up stairs" to this as was never Been, when the read is bal lasted, we shall see what we shall see. Probably the correspondent of the Springfield Republican could see Colum bia City if he had the present of a nice "corner lot. He would net think it so bad a site after all, and would think those " disgruntled Portland capitalists" not such fools as they were when they invested in Kalama, which he appears to "consider nothing but a hole in the : ground. Dear Mr. Springfield Republican do m-rA iru a man Tint, i n harrow between the otuu - - - eyes that he can only see his own nose or the vacuum where his grub goes in. We raise chickens here as well iu Portland, fcnd our cabbaaes are sweeter if not as big as those Chinese grow around Portland by the free use of we won't say what Havn't you got a little eye salve for your correspondent, Mister? Do you think he could see Mt Hood in a clear day, "or ML St Helen when she puts on her ninlr niHt frown at sunset? There is X o o immense water power in the immediate Vicinity of St Helen and in the vicinity OI iroruaim tnvrc taui vv(h.i pnonoh to turn a coffee mill. Here is o - . 1 1 . t Milton Creek tnav wouia suppiy witn Vater power a city like Holyofce, and Milton Creek is not all, there is Tide t)reek, and others too numerous to men tion. We could easily manufacture blankets for all the Indians in the world nd some whites, we could make cottbn doth enough for all the United States ejmi 'sn nil ahd New Jersey besides. We could have paper mills enough-to make proof paper for the mist, and enough left over to make primers for the whole Muckle family and a clean sheet forther blind correspondent of the Springfield Repnibli can besides. Can't he get some of Dr; Swayne's salvfe to cure his eyes poor man. He must have' got asleep when he passed Stvi Helen and Columbia City. Perhaps he went by in the nipht. Per haps tire ruist made such a fog he could'nt seo &i. Helen. If it-did, it should be indicted as a nuisance. He says Colum bia River is subject so fogs. All water has fogs which is the result of the water being wet and the air warn or the air wet and the water warm', v?e forget which. It was so foggy the other idght we like to have run our horse into a can yon, and we were not blind like the Springeld Republican correspondent. He says there are no big o-t?ns on the Columbia River, this, dear friend, is owing to a lack- of inhabitants, agricul ture doesn't prosper much because people live mostly on ducks and salmon and pick their teeth' with hawthorns. We have some deers with antlers and other wise. Now the Railroad is done we ex pect an immigration with a long string of resolutions for the amelioration of the heathen,- and a big Sot of correspondents with gfetn goggles and gutta-percha - consciences who seemcr owr advantages ill bring us a big number of inhabi tants so Columbia City will be so biir that if a blind man cannot see tss lie can hear us, and think htf is near a htrnian hive almost as big as Boston. To return oactc to our sut-iect once more, ana ffivc a farewell statement, if you want a good winter harbor for big ship come in to the mouth of the. lower Willamette River and look up to Columbian office which like a pharos disburses light in dark places; and strikes like a galvanic batteiy stupidity and ignorance with an electrical shjck that brings men to their senses. Success or Jetties. Frequently there appears in some pa per hostile to the matter of river im provement, mean little ittras concerning the alleged failure of Eads' jetty system at New Orleans. The following is a fact On the ISth uli?, the largest ship that ever reached New Orleans passed suc cessfully through the channel made by Capt Eads' jetties, amd anchored irs the sti earn opposite tlie city. The vessel is the British steamship Silvertown, built for laying ca)e. She is 403.) tons reg mister, 338 feet long, 55 feet beam, and 34 feet 6 inches deep. When the fact is noted that before the jetties were finished vessels drawing .over 19- fnet could not get to New Orleans, it will likewise be seen that the jetties are an assured success.' The same system I 13 in process of construction at Galveston, Texas.- We hope to' chronicle, in the future, the arrival ot vessels of deepest draft at Astoria, through the relief af forded the Columbia bar by the same process that has resulted in such splen did success at the Crescent city. Com mercial Herald. Grey's llivcr Packet. There is a difference between Gray's river and Grav's harbor, but our ruorn- ing cotemporories insist that the steam er Union is fdr the harbor trafSc. The Astorian states the fact Thk enterpris ing inhabitants of that portion of Wah kiakum county I ordering oh Gray's riv er. have lonz felt the need of better communication with Astoria than that afforded by sail and occasional steamer visits, and some time ago organized the Gray's river transportation company, The result is the trim little steamer Un ion, which has been built and equipped, and will hereafter run regularly between Astoria, and Grav's river. Commercial Herald. 1 11 General Manager Mum, of the Northern Pacific Railroad, denies the truth of the statements to the effect that the road is poorly buile and equipped, which were said to have been made by the resigning Superintendent, Haupt Mr. Muir assures the public that the road is thoroughly equipped, well built and properly conducted. The 4010th auniversary of the birth day of Martin Luther was elaborately celebrated in Europe and America. The remains of the great reformer are dust, but his doctrines will go marching on forever. The pioneers who left Jiere a few weeks ago to visit the East have com menced to arrive back in small parties. They are delighted with the trip, but think there is no place like home. The California end of the Oregon rail road is bounding this way Trains are now running 14 miles north of Redding. The new Puget Sound steamers will soon leave the Atlantic side for tbi coast ' "Board and lodging by the day or week at Matthews', St Helen, in ikti''a The Kalama Rraneli, The inclines on both sides of the Co lumbia at lvalama arc finished and next week trains will regularly cioss trom Portland. It is the intention of. the managers to run as many of the passen ger coaches as are necessary through from St. Paul to Tacoma, though the Puhnan s'eepers will not go further than Portland, unless the time is so changed as to brin a night run on the Pacific division, which is not probable. The Tillie E. Srarbuck i3 crverdce at Kalama tfith the big steel transfer boat to be ascd there. She left New York on June 19th and inust Lave ,met with rough leather and consequently delays to be so lonjr on the wav. The transfer boat comes all ready to set up, but when one remembers that there are 52,400 separate pieces to be nicely adjusted to gether, he will not wonder that the, con tractor demanded six months, iu which to set her up. In - the meantime a tern porary transport win be loweu uy a steamer engaged for the purpose. Com mercial Herald. ' : Literary Notices."

We have gathered the following items of his trip East, from Mr. A H. Blakes- y, one of out prominent citizens: Ou the 2d day of October we Pioneers num bering about 5Q0 left Portland. At fc Ainsworth 11 miles beyond Wallula Junction our number was increased 50 ' or more. W e had a splendid time crohs ing the plains, we stopped where the last spike was driven; it was a ver r beautiful place in the open country. 1 t was tery nice fixed up with red, whit e and blue. We were treated in the raos it courteous manner by the R. R. officer; i We found the road in a splendid cond i- tion for a new road. The country look id prosperous; the Yellowstone region is one of the finest in the world. We sa- v no buffalo, only a few deer, many Indi ans, but perfectly docile. The Bad Lan ds country was well named for it look ed like hel ripped open. Mandan, Bisniar ck and Fargo are thriving places. On t he other end of the road they arc layinj j a double trackj there appears to be sucl 1 a growing business.- Vc arrive I in St Paul after 6 days on the road. We 1 .ad palace cars enough for 350, the rest 1 iftd to find their own blankets and slept in their seats. Their provisions each me packed in his -basket, but there w ere plenty of nice h'ofels all along the road where meals could be obtained from 50 to 75 cents. Through tho newest part of the country the provisions appea red shipped, but in Montana .raised in the vicinity. The inhabitants along the route gave us all the information they could about the country and its prod uce and inquired all about Oregon. Miore next week. LOG AX 2T23WS A crentleman from Clatskanie told us nobody would take the mist out of the Post Office, they didn't thiuk auythm iu it worth reading.' Tichenor tried to get subscribers but gave it up as a bad job. It was owing to the scarcity of liar used tor loader. iut came near strangling a calf who attempted to swal low it there was so much due oc it Conyers reported he was tlie principa owner, which made every lody there think Lira a hya3 tiilicum cokeshet. We wish it distinctly understood we want uo cutting of trees on Frogmore Neck, no hunting of game, no running of logs, nor other action of trespass 011 our premises.

St Helen hunters or any others will please keep their feet off our huitrig grounds. Dr. Arthur Moore is a line conversa tionalist and a most courteous gentle man; the Moore children have wonder fully improved in maimers aud appear ance since his arrival. His iniluence for good is great, and ho is very decided in ideas of right and wrens: even if he is very polite; Mrs. Vjiltner nas three china saucers that some of her ancestors, the Davises, brought over more than a hundred years ago.

Mrs. Godkin was nearly thrown from her horse by the horse running his foot through a hole in the bridge across the swamp adjacent to Honesty Hill, Where is the Road Supervisor 1 Mr. Byron Caples informs us in many places the railroad has shrunk so that the bridges are on a higher plane than the road.

I consider the bottle of Kendall s Spav in Cure worth to mc 8150 00 a? the animal was worthless as she was on three legs and could scarcely get around on them and now she is the finest buggy animal in these parts and with the rem inent of tho bottle after curing the mare I have nearly cured a very, severe corn on the ball of ray big toe that has given me great pain for two or three years. I have only applied KendaU'a. Spavin Cure four times and tho corn now is nearly out by the roots and without any pain. In short I think it is the best liiiiae"nt that is inuse.
