EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Balkm, Oct. 1, 1878.
Before tin, I bad intended to
write poraething of the , members
of the House but orerarari with
other care, and with no time to
write at a'I, tt has been impossi
b!e. My leisure is limited now.
and it "would be ao overwhelming
"crusher" if some Tcnight of quill
nd scisors ehouM remark that
with a little time at my disposal I
had dne nothing. But as I have
no other alternative, I must "take
chances," and bide the raoment
Vtvh'en I eball fii.d some" other
poor, burned newspaper scrib
term my predicament, and then
ay to myself, "Go, in, Gregory,
with your ' swashiug, blow and
" wit.!"
Ityop enter tb house at the
ptoper moment your sight uil
be greeted with the tall iorm o
Col. White, Chief Clerk, who,
"with spectacles on, ius one in
iaind ot that feathered emuudi
tueut ot reputed wisdom and ex
elusive nocturnal' pecignuatioin
You listen to him a moment, and
yon are convinced that the rl
man Has l een put i.i tne- nMi
' place, and, were you us well ac
ouaiiitO'l with birn and hk
ed him as well a I
every member or tn House, you
would hope tl.at he raiiy live tor
ever and foi ever secure election
for the Chief Clerkship. The
next one to surprise you is that
tall flagstaff Thompson, of Mult
nomali. He is certitiiily an ac
live member, and doing well tor
the "hardworking roeu,"oi whom
he claims he i the sole represen-
tative w.the House; be is well off
4in this world's goods 'and rights
icarlessly for what he favors; but
should be ever become reduced in
circumstances financially, it it
certain be would not be an ob.
ject of pity; since he could make
bis fortune by hiring himself out
at a handsome figure as a flag
pole in Fourth at July procee
ions. .
But Multnomah has anpther
representative, and like all :. lead
iig men in the State, he comes
trom - aouthera Oregon; I have
reference to lKyal lJ. Btearna.
His characteristics are his earn
estness, and the care be takes in
making his speeches; and, by the
way, be mhkes a good speech
whenever the question ; is of that
pith and moment to bestir an
honest and and able Uepresenta
tive of the Bourgois to action. He
belongs to Douglas county, and' I
am certain that, in all matters ot
legislation, wbereit the interests
of our people .are concerned, be
will remember the wants of the
people of his former home, and
work and vote in their favor. This
.' is, presuming our people want
uothi ng but ' what is riht and
1 just for them; and my acquaint
. tante with th e warrant me in
eayfng tbey want nothing else.
! The next to attract attention is
Air. Grant ot Folk county a
i very earnest legislator, an agree
j able acquaintance, the sole repre
sentative, "as he claims," of the
; Grange on the floor oi the Uuse,
' and the one who is ; partnership
with fiagstiiti Thompson, ot Molt
: nomatu By partnership, I mean
' that Mr. Grant and Mr. Tl orap
ortr -amrlr tno-ather. and the wjy
nvsi. O 9 I
both fight appropriations' of ibe
Tnblis monev it is " no more
r "
tbau justice . ti say that
the House certainly contains
two wttchful 5guadians ot
the State Treasury. Mr. Grant is
in earnest in whatever be does
whether opposing the appropria
tion of money tor "'daily and
weekly newspapers," r lighting
the game law on the ground that
meat .may be "scarce" and far
rners should shoot at those times,
'' though such booting may be
en contraire to tha wishes ot thoe
- wtom he would term" a favored
class, and whom others regard an
in favor of laws protecting game
until it is ia a v&githm for kilN
ing. I respect Mr. Grant as a
man whose work shows he wants
to do his auty, as asked ot him
by ' bis constituents, and there
fore, I shall leave it to others to
speak of his phisique, and say that
he has a dark complexion (not
unlike Slater's) a lean, lank and
long figure, and straight locks
darker than a raven's wing a
descendant from the family ot
John Smith and Pocahontas, or
rather, claims lineage with Sir
Walter Raleigh, since he loves
the weed narcotic.
But what shall I savof the
Speaker the Great Mogul of
the House. I cannot speak of
him otherwise than kindly, since
bis treatment ot rll with whom
be has been connected has been
in that strain pleasiog to the
hearing ot his many friends
There is no fault about him, no
fun to be made, and even his
quiet deportment bnd just rulings
do not permit a friend -to make
luu at his expense." "I said be
had no fault ; I "take tbatback"
immediately. He has a fault, but
i: is a good one. lie has a voice
that Rounds in the tones ot a cav
alry trumpet, and so clear and
distinct that it is oftea heard in
the various committee rooms ot
the House; and hs the parrot
said, the members of the "lower
branch ot the Legislature say
'for all ot which make us truly
thankful."
And what? you will ask of
Messrs Campbell and Uhenoweth
well, Mr Campbell i so busy
wish uis work he has barely time
to write home; and Mr. Cheuo
.velh is in the same fix. It is no!
the case with them that thev
have found greater attractionr
tliHti they know ot ;tt home; it is
not with them that tiiey hope for
an Eve and a garden fair, and are
doing thfi' best to discover the
gardeu of Paradise in Salem; bnt
they are striving to work for the
interem ot Douglas county and
I don't believe they th'nk of
anything else. It M remarked
of them, as well as of Messrs.
lieckley and Stewart, that thej
are temperate, and - industrious,
aud so far as they are concerned,
they a 1 go to comprise the best
delegation Douglas county ever
sent to the Legislature!, I am
not soiry, so tar, that the Indb
pendent was the means of the
election , cf those who now write
their names as members of the
Lower House of the .Legislature.
I am intruding upon space. I
am tally aware I am crowding
space in the paper and I have
not said ell I wish to, nor given
our members the praise they de
serve for their honest, good labor;
but there may be a time when I
shall make up tor all short-comings,
and write you more of our
law-makers. There must be some
room left for other matters, and
until then other friends may
wait for an introduction through
your Salem correspondent. Your
correspondent's confrere, Miss
Nora Simpsou, makes a good
Enrolling Clerk,and I am pleased
with the good sense ihe En
rolling Committee displayed in
its seUction. I am hot in favor
t' wi man's eufirage, but I am
certainly favorably disposed to

Salem, Uctoher 3, 1878.
Last week I w.ote concerning
Seriate Bill Ho. 57. which pro-,
vides for the equalization ot.Mate
taxes. The more thought I give
to it, the more I am in favor or
the measure. r It proposes to rem
ady the acknowledged evil ot the
continued dimunition of each
county's tax m order to escape
State taxation, and to forbid the
assessment of some ot the richer
counties at a half mil. ion less than
they weie. as the old song has it,
"ttventy years ugo." It provides
for a State Tax Commisssoiicr, as
before stated, who is required to
visit all the counties in the State
and officially note the values and
changes in constant progress, and
to equalize aud adjqst the assess
merits of the several counties for
State purposes only. Herein was a
fatal defct in the old law, Ic un
dertook too much,ior it attempted
to readjust every individual as-
-es-meut in the State, and as a
consequence, great furor arose
against the law. This law pro
poses that the proper proportion
ate amount shall be raised for the
countusand to let the county equal
use. as between: the individuals
therein.
Another leading feature, . and
one essential to the equalization of
taxes, is the abolishment of all mill
taxation for State purposes, and, in
lieu thereof, lew the appropnaN
tions as a tax. Without this fea
ture, all equalization lams will prove,
an entire failure in our State. The 1
reason is, that as property is at
present assessed far below its val
ue to raise it toits actual value, as
al' just equalization laws must
be the basis on wntcn our mill tax
would be levied to is doubled,
and what then is the effect of the
mill taxation? namely to flood the
State Treasury with much more
money than is needed.
At present the assessable value
of all the property in the Stute is
over forty five millions ; what its
actual v. lue is no man can tell;
but probably it is 120 million. To
!e y a mill tax ana equalizer leg-
lsiating in tne aaric. Jbveu a
quarter of a mill makes from
twenty .five to thirty thousand dol
lars. The legislature desires to
raise 0250,000, why levy a mill tax
to raise it; why not levy the
amount as a tax.and let the Secre
tary ot State apportion it between
ihe co unties, in proportion to their
eqnaized assessment. Then we
have the amount needed, and no
more or no less; and little diflcr-
ence does it make bow much
property is eqnalhzed,and full play
is given to the law to operate.
ihe bill also proposes that the
people Bhall be taxed during the
two years rollowing each session
to pay on the appropriations o
that session. This will keep the
State out of debt, and will fix an
immediate responsibility on each
session for the appropriation it
makes. ......
These are the leading features
although there are others of minor
importance, and I give a tew o
the reasons urged in favor ol the
passage of the bill.
Uou-e U still engaged in the
consideration of h bill concerning
common carne', mid providing
ogamst discriminating rates u
freight on riil-oaiH and steam
boms, tlie Srate insane, the Peni
tentiary, and not laws. ;
The first bill cannot receive the
vote f Southern Oregon meiii
brs sit ce its ert'ect, if it becomes
i law, will be the inert ae of rail
ruad tre'glits to all points above
Eugene and to Uo&eburg, and a
coii-eqiunt extra cost to all ship
pers in Southern Oregon, Kates
ot freight are now high enough,
and to increase them is to virtu
ally put an end to wheat growing
in Douglas aud other southern
counties. At the prent t:me
our people make just enough from
their wheat to live upon, aud if
the little p.ofit they receive from
this wheat is to be taken from
them by an increase in freight
tanfts, they will have to turn
then grain fields into pasture lots.
Watt's bill will hardly become
a law. I have fouud but very
few people who are in favor of
putting an extra expense upon
counties by changing the present
mode of . caring for the insane,
aud especially when the pro
pose, change smacks so strongly
of speculation an1 jobbery.
There is a strong effort being
made to lease the Penitentiary.
There are " millions in it " to
the iesseeB it they secure the pnze,
and not any benefit to accrue to
the State from the lease. K.
A PLAIN STATEMENT.
It is at wa7s unpleasant to re
fer to a disagi eeable: matter that
is past; but even this is necessa
ry sometimes to show to what
depth men will stoop to gratify
teeling- ot personal animosity,
and to put the people on their
guard in future. We cannot oth
erwise discharge the duty ot a
journalist. We refer t the mat.
ter of opeuing Washington street
through the premises of Mr. Sol.
Abraham. The committee ap
pointed to investigate the pro
priety of the move reported in
favor of the proposition Fink &
Grisdale signing the report and
Conn dissenting. The proposi
tion was now put direct and voted
do"vn -Fiuk & Grisdale voting in
favor and Conn, Haynes and
Lengenberg voting against the
measure. Fact and evidence
bind upon Fink the responsibility
otthis move. It evinces on his
part a malicoua design to use the
power the, people entrusted in his
hans to take revenge upon, a
private citizen against who m he
entertains hostile sentiments. An
attempt to use oflcial power to
injure a rival raises the matter
into publicity, as it involves in
terests of communities, and the
press must condemn.
Mr. Abraham has had indis
puted possession of the grounds
Fiuk proposes to destroy for
twenty or more years; and besides
by reference to the plot and sur
vey of the city ot lloseburg, made
by Mr. Flint two years ago, aid
adopted by the City Council,
it wi!l be seeo . that Washington
street extends to and(not through
Abraham's premises. In face of
these tacts and against the advice
of the city attorney. Fink h Gris
dale voted to extend the otreot.
Laward evidence did not influ
ence his action.! It was a design
on his part to compel the city, as
he baa the county, to sholder the
expense ot his personal fights. !
The people of Roseburg have
more at stake in this matter than
Mr. Abraham. With the law
and justice against the meaeure
it is extremely doubtful whether
the city could compel Abraham
to relinquish the ground at auy
expense. Besides, the ground as
it now stands, is in a high state
t jmprovement. The action ot
C'tnu, Haynes end Langenberg
deserve high praise for tie way
they have prevented Fiuk from
using the city treasnre to further
his selfish ends. With our cor
respondent, we recommend these
gentlemen as afe guardians of
city invests. I jet Fink raeas
ure his individual purse with that
ot Abraham and keep hands out
of the pockets of the people. The
people will answer tor Fink's fu
ture official honors next Monday
HISTORICAL.
About 25 years ago a company
was formed in Jackson county,
Oregon, having tor its object the
exploration of Coos Bay, expec -ing
to open up communications
with it and Urapqi a vallej'. In
June, 1858 that company consis
ting of 19 men started, g ing
north until passing the Canyon;
hence westward to Camas valley,
then on down the middle fork of
the Coqmtle. There was no trail,
and as that sream literally cut
the Coast ratine into sections, the
journey was very rough and te
dious. In many places they were
obliged to travel over rou,h
mo.intains tor miles and then
come back to the river a short
distance trom where they started.
Alter sixty days travel they ar
rived at the junction of the, mid
dle anf south forks, finding many
Indian ttome of whom had never
feen u white man. They cit
gaged six ot these to convey them
down the nver in canoes. At
the mouth there were several
hundrt-d Indian who were inclin
ed to be hostile; however, they
succeeded .n making a private
treaty with them and passed on
over to Coos Uay, a distance of
about thirty miles. When the
company arrived at the place now
called Empire City, many of
them took claims and located tbe
town site. Who knows what
hope many of those pioneers nad
when standing on the upper
ground of Empire, and 'i gazing
down on the beautiful sheet of
water as it came teeming in from
the Pacific, realizing that they
then stood on the extreme wes
tern borders of the United States;
and that they had perhaps travel
ed trom ocean to ocean and were
now the early settlers of the fair
land. With such a beautiful
harbor before them, and surroun
ded with the fioest timber n the
world, no wonder that los': sold
for two thusand dollare, and that
all seemed that their lortuno was
made.
The excitement soon died away
and it was seveial yeas before
there was much sale for lots.
Finally a few were cold for about
twenty dollars each and gradually
the place with several thers on
the Bay have grown up to be
quite lively little villages and
Empire eny is the county seat of
Uoos county..
Soon after those explorers came
to ..'-this county others followed.
- i .
uroiu mines were aiscoveaed near
the mouth of tbe Coquille ai.d
quite a towu was built up and
called Kandolph. It is said that
one man look out a mule load of
gold on the beach near tbe town
The village then contained about
fifteen hundred inhabitants. ;
In the year 1854 the Indians
liviug around Randolph killed
two men living on a slough that
pots into the river not far ... from
ine nun ng camp. ine miners
eventually learned what Indians
were guilty and bung four cf
them which bad a go.id eftect.
As the tribe never gave the set'
tiers any trouble after the exeoi'
tion.
Soon after the Randolph ex
citement there was gold discover
ea in uonnson s mountains near
the head-waters ot the South
Fork ot the Coquille and many
rushed tor the pew Eldorado; one
of those that was on his way to
Johnson'8 was Sara Demeut, but
while traveling up the river he
came to a beautiful prairie, with
a lovely stream of water paaeinj;
through it, and glens of timber

out into tbe open ground, such as
the stately fir, and spreading
Matharone with its mysletoe

to nvtke a Jovely place. So Un.

the first white wttler ou the Co-
quille. For miles around the
grass was waist high and Mr. De
ment has been a very successful
stock raiser, and has built up a
home seeond to none in Oregon.
rince 'his place was settled the
the country has been gradually
filling up, and now only twenty
fi-'e veara have elap'ed but the
steamboat's whistle can be heard
every day and the rich bottom
land that was then a wilderness is
producing large crops of gram
and vegetables every year, i nree
saw mills are in successful opera
tion, and many ot the majestic
fir and cedar that was then sway
ing and bowing their lofty beads
over the placid waters of the Co
quille, or the rough waters of the
Pacific, have carried tne Ameri
can colors to every port in the
world.
The early pioneers ot Coos
deserve credit for the zeal and
perseverence they manifested in
their fiftorts to ooen UP one of
best counties in the State. This
