- 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.

Columbian to the Springfield Republi
can which will convince thera that wo

2ovr where is there a city in Arrenca

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

Milton Creek tnav wouia suppiy witn
Vater power a city like Holyofce, and
Milton Creek is not all, there is Tide

blankets for all the Indians in the world
nd some whites, we could make cottbn

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

indicted as a nuisance. He says Colum

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

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

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

bering about 5Q0 left Portland. At fc
Ainsworth 11 miles beyond Wallula
Junction our number was increased 50 '

beautiful place in the open country. 1 t

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

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

B. J. Kendall &, Co. Gents:-I take
pleasure in infoming you that I used
neurlp all of the bottle3 of Kendall's
Spavin Cure that you snt me from St.
Louis, according to directions, ana to
mv satisfaction (and I must say to my
surprise) in about two weks nfy mare
was entirely well cf her lameness caused
by a bog spavin of over one year s stand
ing and in three weeks time the swell
ing was all gone and the mare is now
entirely 'well and can trot as glib as ever.
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. I have Kendall's
Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases
and I would not take any money for it
if I could not get another. Hoping you
great success I remain
Yours respectfully
It. C. Martin.
