vitcity. It would Irasoti our IH lght to the
xtcnt of thousands of dollars annually, and
would foster and benellt the manufacturing
industries of Oregon City to a remarkable
extent, that would also insure to the K'uelll
of Portland, as the interests of the two
cities are identical. With an open liver to
Portland, and the contemplated improve
meuta of the lower Willamette and Col
umbia, Oregon City would cvrt.tinly become
the greatest manufucturlnn center of tlio
American continent, and the banks of t,e
Willamette would Ins lined with a solid
city fro iti Portland to the Kails. This is ton
important matter for mere I lie comment,
and prompt action should lie taken at
once. It i als important that the upper
Willamette should secure her share of river
improvements, as the commerce of that
section aMlt'era untold incouvienees on ac
count of the conditions ol the river.
Thc vim with which tlio citixens of Mar
mm and tlie country adjacent haveenlercd
into the stmggle for securing a railroad lie
tween Orrgou City and ftlvcrton, speaks
much to thermlit of their enterprise, and
the iniortatit step they have taken should
find the encouragement its due from every
where throughout Marion and Clackamas
counties. The most feasible routu is found
to be near the survey made hy the Oregon
railway la t summer, known as the l'iu
gra survey, which from Oregon City passes
up the Alierncthy, through the Molalla
country and via Jack s bridge to ilverlon.
A road throiigh this sit lion could lie made
a paying institution from the start, as a
lar"r porii. n if the country is already de
veloped and only await the advantages of
good marki Is, easy of a-ccs, when it would
become one of the best producing and most
densely populated sections of the state. It
behooves Oregon City to take an active part
in the mutter and push it forward with all
possible hu-te, as in it her own Interest are
deeply involved. She would become the
trading center ftir a major portion of the
country through which the road would ass,
enhancing to a considerable degree her
claim as a market. To this end our business
men must labor untiringly, and any assist
ance they can lend to the propo-nl project
must be unsparingly contributed forthwith.
" Another of the nation's greatest heroes
passed to hi Muni rest last Saturday in the
rson of (ienerul William Tceiimsch Sher
man. There is no man the news of whose
death would lie received with more sincere
regret generally among American freemen
than that of this noble patriot and devoted
' countrymen. Kvery soldier ol the land
grieves at the untimely tukingawny of their
venerable leader, and a pang of sorrow is
felt within every soul. His life has beun
pent in the interest ol bis country, and the
part ho bus tuken in making the nation
what it now is w ill ever remain non-rrnse-able
on the pages of history. (Jen. Sherman
had been ill about ten days with ervsipelas
superinduced by a cold and sore throat. A It
of Friday night the distinguished soldier
wavered between life and death. Me con
tinued to light bravely a hopeless battle.
Early in the evening the physicians knew
the end was approaching, slowly but surely.
The swelling in the luce and neck disap
peared, but with thcsubsiileuce of symp
toms of erysipelas came a development ot
lung trouble, complicated with a return of
the long standing asthma. Mucous liegan
mce more to accumulate In the lungs, and
'.lie first signs of passive pneumonia became
apparent. His condition grew worm; at
7:30 A. M. his family were summoned, and
at 1 :20 Saturday his body was cold In deulh.
Knolamd is considerably worked up over
the falling off in trade between Canada and
the mother country. During the last year
the cxjiorts to the United Slates from Eng
land was more than double in value the ex
ports to Canada within the same period,
and England looks with dismay at the In
creasing commercial relations existing be
tween tho Lnited States and Canada. Eng
land is losing to an alarming extent her
trade with Canada, and at tliesnine time
there is an increasing agitation among the
Canadians in favor of annexation to the
United Stales, which England Is making
desperate neps to avert hy ottering a sub
dinTy 'toaiuit hei line of vessels from Canada
to China, Japan, and the West Jmlia Isl
ands. It is certain that England will he
most liberal in her policy to the Canadian
Dominion in order to recover the lost trade
and perpetuate the loyalty of her American
ubjects.
Thk death of Admiral D. Porter, of the
United Htutcs Navy, which ocenred at his
home in Washington last Friday, is another
calamity to the nation. Ifis death was the.
result of fatty degeneration of the heart
with which he had been nllcctcd since last
iumincr but which has been growing worse
for eeveral weeks. At the time of his
death he was seventy-seven years of ngc,
having entered the naval service of his
country as midshipman in IS.'f), and since
- TVi''"' in "'- "''"ice.
With military' andliUilfftS
his hig rank, tlio body was luid to rest l'ffi
Arlington Cemetery at Washington on the
TuejidajL.tiih'owjnj,'. Not since the burial
. - - of General Sheridan has Washington wit
nessed so imposing a funeral, evory branch
of ihe military and naval service being
represented.
What could have been the incentive for
such apparently undm. liberality on the
part of our solous at this session, in the
matter of muking improvements on the cap
ital building is a matter of some speculation
among tax-payers, taking into considera
tion as they do the many other w ays the
money could have been moro profitably
used. All will admit that a dome on the
capitol building would add much to its ap
pearance, and if the financial condition of
the state was favorable it might be culled a
necessity; but such is not the case, and ap
propriating ItlOjCX) at this time for its con
struction is by no means the will of Ihe peo
ple. That money in the improvement of
our rivers would have been more judi
ciously expended.

there jverg iio good reasons to believe that

Personally tho writer approves of the ver
