Tlic third pension of the Columbia waterway convention will he held at Astoria on Wednesday. August. :trd, and U expected to he a very import ant and interesting meeting. One of its general objects will ho to voice the Hcntlinent of the country upon the policy of river and harbor improve ment, and in order that the espress- ion may he as emphatic pnxxihlc It is important that there Mmiilri no a largo and general representation. Boards of trade, chambers of com merce, city and town couticils, hoards of county commissioners, in short, nil constituted bodies, local or othYial, in the Columbia river basin, or any where in Hie country inteiested in the improvement of the Columbia river arc invited and urged to tend dele gates. The governors of Oregon and Washington, the Oregon senators, Oregon's representative in congress, the territorial delegate to congre-is, the United States engineers and other important personages have been es pecially invi'cd to attend, and it is expected that the gathering vill We large and notable ami in the highest degree representative. The voice of such a convention upon a matter of public policy ought lo have weight with congress. It is believed the chief purpose of the waterway convention could best bo promoted by the organization of a permanent river improvement society, and the plan to this end, suggested at the last meeting at Vancouver, will he taken up as the first business or the meeting at Astoria. It ought to he possible to form a society of ten thousnud members whoso sole object would bo to urge the river work. Such a society could Hud many ways of useful effort. It could keep our representatives at Washington sup piled with information, and by Its y.eal and continued interest , stimulate them to energetic work. I ( 'could im press every iulluential visitor to the country without needs, and upon oc casion send commissioners to Wash ington to urge our claims. It would nt least be u standing illustration of public feeling here. Ily all means let the proposed organization be formed, and let il he made as general and popular as possible. t has come at last to be generally understood that the benefits of the government work arc for the tuture, and that, if the couutrv is to have im- I mediate relief it must come through private or public enterprise, independ ent of the government. ' ' We cannot afford ttt wait on the slow method of tho government." said President Smith of tho waterway convention, "but must provide some kind of a portage syieiu for use between this time and the completion of the perm anent works." This matter will come before tho AMoria convention as one of the important subjects of con hideratiou, and it is hoped that, some practical plan for a portage system will bo developed. This is the true solution of tho transportation problem which now vexes the country. Ore iioit'an. XDCVA TIOXAfs A 1) VAXTAUKS of fa i ns.

Tho ? mental faculties are more, fully devel- oped and the judgment more matured, enabling the einpiiror lo separate with greatest ease the chaff from the wheat the bran from tho Hour, the useful from the useless. Public, exhibitions, at which me chanical and agricultural products urc displayed, are to the thoughtful and observing a source of much valuable information of tlic most utilitarian cl. iracter. There is siitlicient variety to charm the eye, enlist, the attention , awaken thought and provoke investi gation, and no one can visit even an ordinary fair of this kind and not re turn richer in ideas that possess an adaption to the duties of life, which add greatly to their intrinsic value. First and foremosf in this respect we place the Williams' Grove Interstate Picnic Exhibition , because the variety h greater, ami consequently the means of obtaining information are proportionably increased Tho too- chauic and artisan willeo new inven lions, different styles of construction, and learn the purpose for which in tended, and be able to tell whether the dcxirod object has been secured, or what changes and improvements could yet be made. The farmer can learn what others engaged in the same calling aj'c doing; can familiarize him self with all the appliances for light ening the drudgery of farm labor; can learn the methods pursued by those who have succeeded in raising better crops, and discover what fertilizers arc most houeiicial and best adapted to the different kinds of crops and different soils, .More information of a practical nature can be obtained in one week from this source than can he gleaned in a year at our agricultural schools and colleges." Hcruld-JHs-wminator. Attorney General Garland has rcn dcred an opinion in regard to (lie ap plication of the alien act passed by the last. Congress prohibiting aliens from acquiring possession of real estate in tliis country. Ho decides, fust, that mines are real estate, or inhabitable interests in real estate and consequent ly tho act applies to tiioin. Secondly , that a stock incorporation is a person ality and an alien can lawfully have, hold or own shares issued by an American corporation which is now tho owner of mineral lands, provided such interest of aliens do not exceed j L'O per cent, and if such holdings arc above 'JO per cent, inch company can neither acquire, hold. own. or here after acquire, real estate so long as "JO per cent, of its stock is held by alien.-.. Third, that aliens can advance money for the development of mining proper ty but no interest in real estate can be acquired by such advancement ; nor would an nlieu have the right to pur chase real estate or any interest there in even ir held under bis own lieu. Aliens though may contract with American owners to work mines under contract ot by bona lido leases for a reasonable time. It is a very common opinion among railroad men that the Union I'acifm will soon obtain control of tho North ern I'ucllie. This has been whispered hereabout as ''inside" gossip fol. w month, and the same ropol'l s curront and credited at New York. There is no luformntlon ns lo how and by whoso help tho combination is lo be accomplished; but this matters little to us, our chief interest being not iu the method of the contract but in its effect. It would, wo fear, be an un fortunate tiling for tho Northwest, since il would destroy or limit compe tition, which is the life of transporta tion as of other business. We want icdticlion in rates, expedition in car riage and general extension of lines into new country, and these benefits are much more likely to bo secured nailer competition than under consult dr.tton .
