The Locks at the Cascades.
Senator Mitchell succeeded in getting
the appropriation in aid of the locks at
the Cascades increased from 75,000 to
$150,000 in the appropriation bill which
lias just passed the two Ilouses, nud
which now only awaits the President's
signature to become a law. Wo think
we see a tendency to delay and ob
struct the procuring of the right of
way around the said portages which is
the last refuge of the O. S. N. Co. to
preserve their hold of power in the
Upper Columbia country. Wo there
fore hope there will be no effort spared
by tho proper authorities to hasten tho
matter in the courts, as all unexpended
balances of appropriation revert to the
treasury at the close of each fiscal year.
It is therefore possible by delaying the
matter in the courts, so the Govern
ment engineer cannot proceed with the
work, that none of this magnificent gift
can be used Icv-tlm purposes intend
ed. This appropriation, with tho S90,
000 previously appropriate J, aide J by
another one as large, if judiciously ex
pended, will complete that work. We
reason from the fact that the lock3 at
Oregon City, overcomes as much fall
as is necessary at the Cascades, they
are &3 long (some 1,000 feet) ; and were
put through a much harder rock at
Oregon City than exists at tho Cascades,
and required much deeper average ex
cavation. Their cost did not exceed
over $100,000; and wo thereforo feel
that wo are justified in the belief that
thoaa at the Cascades should cost
more, unless red tape and t Govern
mental formula is brorV,. 0 i,car to
unnecessarily ;,;cC.r it construction ,
lud burden its cost. A practical scien
tific contractor liko Dave Thompson
would undertake the construe.' Yin of
such u work for $o00,00-. aUlj make
money out of it; iina wo believe con
tractors should bo permitted to build
the same, as it will be done much
quicker, and more economically than if
(lovcn'meut engineers arc permitted to
triangulate each stone, and reduce to
its conic sections every rock t lint goes
into tho walls. That is tho usual style
of the Government engineer, and it will
bo a ton years' job for them if, unhap
pilv, Uncle fc'am concludes it must Lc
built by his own
servants.

Stewart's Women's Hotel.
After a thorough trial, it is announced
that the exclusive feature of a women's
hotel, established by the munificence of
Stewart, Las been abandoned it hav
ing been found that women will not
herd toge '.:;:! by themselves liko that
biped brute of ! ou -u:au, but in
sist on beir0' accoit:e, and contiguous
to the opposite ecx; and, hankering
after his companionship, will rather
cling to the old order of things than to
bo shut up in the gilded cage erected
by Stewart for their separate and ex ln
f.ive entertainment. This trait of char
acter will prove a stumbling block and
obstruction to the arguments and ideas
of the strong minded of tho Susan 1).
Anthony sort, who have insisted on the
theory of woman's sturdy independ
ence, their unfaltering and uncom
promising reliance upon themselves,
and their failure to discover what pur
pose in divino or domestic economy,
man was made to tuliil. But it is
likely that they will flourish their um
brellas obstinately in the face of tho
fact above enunciated, and declare it is
without significance, and does nothing
to controvert the theories of the strong
minded- We would, therefore, recom
mend to meek, patient, forgiving man
not to broach the real reason why Stew
art'a hotel is shut up for the feminine
single when he encounters one of tho
stony-hearted Susan sort. He had bet
ter insist that it is closed because of the
measles or mumps, or some other
harmless inocuous complaint which is
not calculated to upset her equanimity,
nor trench on her pet theory of woman
ly independence. Under such circum
stances mild equivocation is better than
to encounter a storm of indignation,
which gives no hope of getting in the
last word, and leaves you wrecked in
tho midst of vehement strong-minded
protestation. " Be all things to all
men," and. especially, all things to all
women of this class but, in the midst
of it all. preserve, a wink to tho know
ing. Dry "Weather Crops ami Trices.
Wo are having a long sell of dry
weather, which is producing a disas
trous effect to tho late sown grain, and
unless we are soon favored with a dis
pensation of Jupite r IUuvius will result
in a very serious diminishing of the
Oregon wheat erop. If a short crop
befall us we can console ourselves with
tho probabilities of low prices for
grain as an offset, which now, from the
peaceable European outlook, seems in
evitable Wheat in San Francisco, just
beginning to arrive, is selling at S1.G5
to cl 70 per cental, with a lower range
cf oilers for July delivery. With this as
a criterion, it is not safe to estimate
wheat at over 1.50 per cental.in Port
land, or ninety ceuts per bushel,
sacked and delivered, which, to an
average up-country farmer, means
about Beventy-five cents per bushel
freight, sacks and agency expenses
being deducted from therortland figure.
If any thing can console the farmer
for this, it will bo the reflection that,
for two years past, the necessities of
other lands have enabled him to sell his
wheat for ouo dollar per bushel, which

The Assessment Law. The Locks Law. i Tlie Conference of the Powers.
I
There
pretty general call for
somo legislation looking to a change or
! modification of tue assessment Jaws
whereby there can be an arrival at a
more equitable and fr-ir basis of assess
ment of the "just ami unjust" in Ore
gon. Some advocate an assessment of all
in sight without an abatement for in
debtedness; this would work .1 great
measure of injustice to the debtor
classes, and is a species of wrong which
the courts should not tolerate, it being
contrary to the idea of equal and exact
assessment contemplated by the law.
It is a feature of reasouin.cr calculated
to make the rich richer, and the jioor
poorer, and would result to restrict en
terprise, cenfine effort and paralyze
commercial and manufacturing indus
try, where so hampered and burdened.
It is ialse reasoning, unfair discrimina
tion, and a forgotting of the ethics of
the golden rule which inclines any ono
to advocate against tho deduction of
legitimate indebtedness. Still thero is
too much latitude in our present law
which enables tho debtor to escape a
critical inquiry as to whom ho owes,
whero is tho creditor resident, and the
amounts owing to each creditor, which
should be corrected, and a system of
checks and balances instituted whereby
a man's assessment should be made to
square with the statement. For in
stance if A rejiorts that he owes B and
C 1,000 each, who reside in Clackamas
county, and D 81,500, who lives in
Marion county, it should bo nif1 h0
duty of the assessor r tLat rTd C
are assess OOO each on account o
01 A, and he should be required td not
ify the assessor of Marion county that
A reports owing X cf that county
1,500, which t'ao assessor of Marion
county i-y.ist sco is assessed to P.
Our present loss of assessable propor-
t tv docs not lie in the i!e:.i of 'ufouc-
ti for tii(l.ritxlnes.v" so much as in the
column of "Jlihts due and to become
due," and it is the people who evade
strict accountability for the las? item
who must be legislated against rather
than tho first.
The remedy lies in legislation for a
sworn statement from every propi riy
hoMer, bank, banker, corporation com
pany and institution of deposit, on a
given day, showing a detailed state
ment of assessable properly on hand,
and debts du or to become due.
against which should come the offsot of
indebtedness owing to tho detailed list
of creditors with their several places of
resilience.
Against the requiromei.t cf a
accountability like the foregoing

s u-
;sor is no
less inquisitorial in its results than the
sworn statement which should be re
quired under tho amendment to the
law wo h.'.ve proposed. It is a plea to
afford tho skulker, natural liar and
equivocator to hide behind a sentiment
which the man of honor disdains, and
tho person must be eyed with suspicion
whoso only plea is that a requirement
of this kind is inquisitorial; besides
we contend that it is tho duty and
office of an assessor to be an inquisitor;
the fabric of the law is built up to cm
power officials to administer it to the
ends of justice and the greatest enemy
society has to contend against is the
evader of his taxes, so that if the assess
or has not now tho authority under the
law, it should at once be given him to
be an inquisitor of the most penetrating
kind; he will have only to use his au
thority against such suspected classes
as a justice of the peace can issue a
search warrant agaiust, who would
just as loudly declaim against a violent
stretch of the authority of state which
enables the constable to search for the
stolen pork as tho tax evader, who ha3,
under tho present looso adjustment of
tho machinery of the assessment law
hidden away tho bulk of his assessable
property.
Let us amend tho law to catch the
creditor classes, rather than to pile on
a heavier burden on the debtor.
The theory of no deduction for in
debtedness will not reach the evil of
unequal assessments, but will rather
add to it; but the law requiring a
sworn exibit at a given time, under
severe penalties for a failure to con
form, will produce the proper remedy
at once, and thus cure what is a radical
ly existing evil in onr assessment law.
The peace of tho country is the first
consideration of patriots. This new
effort of the Democracy to inaugurate
anarchy and Mexieanize the govern
ment by throwing doubts upon the le
getimacy of the title of the President
is in keeping with tho records of that
party, ono wing of which rebelled
against the government, while the other
wing gave their aid and comfort. Ad

i3 a
The law enacted by the Legislature
two years ago was all very well as far
as it went, but it failed to create a lia
bility for damages to the State for fail
uro to conform to its provisions, and so
we find that the W. II. T. & L. Co., the
present owners of the works, have re
sisted the Commissioners in all that
class of requirements from the owners
for which damages were not prescribed
by tho law. The Commissioners have
thereforo had a continual strife and
contention with tho Company, to in
duce them to obey the law in all its
particulars; tbey pursued them from
one court to another, always gaining
the victory and only balked by the
law's delays from a final consumma
tion of the decree of the highest court.
This was procured some six mocths
ago and the Commissioners have been
using the time in the interval rtp to a
month ago in coaxing and threatening
tho corporation to return tho manifests
of freight for each trip of boats oper
ated by them for which the Company
stood delinquent for a year and a half.
They succeeded ih this about a month
ago after five months of contumacy
before tho courts this high toned cor
poration acquiesced in tho law and the
manifests were mado out. The Com
missioners then made a demand on the
Company for tho ten per cent, of tho
gross proceeds of tho Company .0
the school fund per 'je tenns"07tho
charter, wca accorjing to the ac
c'.unt of the Commissioners amounts
to seven or eight thousand dollars. Af
ter a serious length of time the Com
pany answer that there is nothing to
the credit of tho school fund and inti
mate in effect that thero has been no
gros3 proceeds. As U. B. Scott & Co.
and Cochran & Co. have jointly paid
them thousands of dollars this is a
magnificent lie, but wo infer from what
they say, thut the Company do not re
quire payment of fifty cents per ton for
freight passed through the Locks on
their own boats, ar.d by this subter
fuge are endeavoring to evade any con
siderable payment to the school fund.
Their arrogant pretensions must be
met in the next Legislature by addi
tions to the present law by which an
exemplary 2cnalfy shall forfeit to the
State for each refusal of tho Company
to comply with a requirement of the
Commissioners founded in law, and an
i enact men: that all rates of toll shall be
j uniform and cqu;d to the different car
j riers, so if tho Company are moved to
eairv their own freights free that thev
sdudl cxte:;.l Hie same gallantry to their
rivals.

b:;t that tho lav
:; of the Lock
prevented ti;
.-1 1
and saved tho farmers of t'.io Wiih'tuetle
Valley fi';v; an odious a: .1 extol lionaie-frc-ight
combination which had boon
entered iito by tho co-conspirators;
and the Commissioners '"thouerh battled
oft Lave over won" they have had an
incessant light on their hands. The
owners of the Locks are so related and
blended with the owners of tho O. S.
N. Co. that the tyranny of tho one has
its reflex in tho obstinacy of the other,
the difference being that ono under the
restraint of tho law is mulish, and the
other now so arrogant is only waiting
to be bridled which it should be the
2rovince of tho next Legislature to do.
The Commissionersjire entitled to the
thanks of tho people for their earnest
and prolonged fight against tho most
powerful monopoly north of California,
and it is a source of gratification to
know that the will of tho people when
prof)erhy directed is superior to the
plans aud combinations of monopolists.
The Halifax Award.
As we predicted a few weeks ago,
after tLe fog bouse of the Senate got
through with a necessary amount of
gush and gasconade, they referred tho
payment of the five and one-balf mil
lion dollars' award for tho Canadian
fisheries arbitration to President
nayes, and the Cabinet recommending
its payment, if, in their judgment,
tho National honor demanded it. Thero
is no doubt but that wo were egre
giously swindled in the finding, but,
having gone into the arbitration, it
would illustrate the worst kind of dis
honor to crawiish from its payment.
While it may do to disregard our
treaty obligations to Indians, aud minor
nations, it will not answer so well to
put our dereliction square in the light
of the highest civilization of Europe,
and particularly with a power of tho
size cf Great Rritiau. And so, after
Scott's pet, Rlaine, and that other dem
agogue, Oglesby, got through with
their fanfaronade, combined with ground
and lofty tumbling, tho Senate, under
the cooler inspiration of Bayard, Thur
nian, ?IcMillan and Hoar, voted to obey
the ordinary instinct of personal honor,
and abide by tho result of the arbitra
tion. A class of humbugs liko Blaine,
Oglesby, Howe and Hamlin, who are
always found raising a hornets' nest on
all questiou.3 of National politj-, just for
their love of a ruction, do more to
give color to the instability of Repub
lics than all other causes combined.
They are the froth which rises above
the sedate, solid common fense of the
Senate; aud while seeming to give
color to legislation, dissipate before the
cooler judgment of statesmen whose
wisdom Ihvdly prevails ever tLe
vagaries of the Hotsnnrs of the Senate.
The vole of Umatilla county shows a

At the instance and invitation of Ger
many, the several powers that are pre
sumed to hold the destiny of Europe
under official supervision, were invited
to meet in Berlin on the 13th of this
month, to take into consideration the
situation relative to the llussian tri
umph over Turkey; and to what extent,
if any, the treaty of San Stefano shall
be modified. It is called in tho inter
est of pacification of the several dis
gruntled nations, whose interests are
supposed fo be imperiled by the result
of the war. It is fortunate for the pros
pect of a peaceful termination of the
crisis that the objections to the treaty
are founded on different reasons by the
principal objectors, Austrian interests
being totally diverse and foreign to tho
paramount objection of England. Un
der such circumstances the Russians
can afford to conciliate one, and thus
destroy tho prospect of an alliance to
contest with them the substantial fruits
of the victory. It may bo found, how
ever, as the result of tho conference,
that England, Austria, Italy and France
aro all opposed to Russian territorial
acquisition, aud will insist in sending
them back to their previous lines of
limit, and interpose a government
under tho protection of tho pfct'esaiJ in
lieu of Turkish ;cKOray over Bouma
n3., Lufg'aria, Servia aud Montenegro,
leaving but a small slice of land to t::o
Turks in Europe of their grand posses
sions before the war. Nothing but the
projection of a government of this
kind, under the guarantee of the powers
will save tho ultimate acquirement of
all this territory to Russia, including
Constantinople. This would make her
such a Colossus that all the balance of
Europe would scarcely be a match to
contend with her in any subsequent em
broilment. It will make her a nation
of over one hundred million inhabit
ants, mid there is plenty of cause for
the alarm actively felt by England and
Austria over the .situation. If II ussi.a ac
quires the practical control of the Turk
ish provinces named, Austria would be
completely enveloped and surrounded
by an anaconda whoso tightening folds
would soon be-.viu to bo felt on its
south and west, while Prussian cords
bind it tightly on the north aud east.
She would finally be choked to death,
and Russia and Prussia will divide tho
spoils. As for England, with Russian
acquisition of tho Turkish provinces,
there is tho danger of a naval power
being built up, (they then being in un
disputed possession of the Black sfa)
whi-";li will spoodily grow into rivalry
wi'.h her own, and '.so eclipse English
doraknitt'-n of the s-.ea-, which is all
that gives England tho proruin-mce that
she iso w enjoy:;. So that England and
Austria are much exercised at the situ
ation of affairs, and wo expect to seo a
prolonged sitting of the conference,
and vc ry skillful diplomatic ; maneuver
ing cf the agents of the interested par
ties before a conclusion is finally ar
rived at. We believe it wiil result in a
peaceful termination, but thero may
grow out of it one of the grandest con
tests the world hai ever seen, as the in
terests at stake involve the ultimate
life or death of Austria, aud the final
eclipso of tho star of English supre
macy in the councils of Euroe DTsra
eli deems it of so much importance that
ho goes himself as one of tho represent
atives of his government to the confer
