iiisrlit House at Tillamook Head.
The Chamber of Commerce has
received a letter from Colonel Gil
lespie, stating that it has been de
termined to build the light-house
on the rock in front of the head
and about one mile from shore,
should it be found practicable. An
examination of the rock "will be
made as soon as the weather per
mits. The rock is probably the est
point in some respects, although
Sight may not be seen so far at
sea. If a cable is laid to shore
and made to connect with a line to
Astoria, vessels may come in, with
out an' danger, to a short distance
of the rocks and receive tkeir or-
clcrs Dy means ol signal Hags.
Tliis could not be clone so well I

'
It will be remembered that on the
iirst organi'aton of the Chamber
of Commerce the necessities of
this light were shown in a very
urgent appeal to Congress. Tliat
Congress listened to our1 appeal
and appropriated seventy-five thou
sand dollars for the work, is cer
tainly a matter of which our cham
ber can well be proud. It does
jiot particularly concern us wlietlter
the luyht-house is built on the head
or on the rock. X is -enough to
know that it will soon be built.
Thanks to our C J amber and our
.members in Congress.
A 3ritisli Subject.
There s a general wir i0i?cbs
on this side of the Canada lne to
regard Sitting Bull as a 33riiish
subject. He is a little troublesome
"by nature, and is desirable 1o find
someone to hold responsible for ls
misdeeds. INo principle of intei
national Jaw is better established
than that subjeCuS of one na on
may not fit out hostile exped'tlons
nga'nst nations with wl ch their
government is a-t peace. IT they
do, their government is jesj)o sib'e,
Jt was an ap)1ication of ths pr"ncl
pie which enabled us to collect
$10,500,000 from Great Britiau
-for the damages caused by the
cruise of the Alabamr. Tl c vc. .cl
n)eing fitted -out :n a Britith po ;
the (government became re
sponsible for the fac of iis ex;s.
rncc. lie makes his home m
Canada, and deliberately prepares
for a raid into the Uiri: d S. tcs.
Our irovernment notifies -Grc t
Britain that her subject :s mak"
threats, and asks tnat he be boj"fl
over to keep tie peace. Probably
-the British government w'll direct
he Canadian authorises to exer
cise due precaution to prevent hos
tile expeditions being organized
on Canadian soil. The usages of
civilized government will doubt
less be regarded by Sitting Bull
as an invasion of the invinoie
riarhts of the noble red men.
The president seems to have
loomed up into considerable im
portance with certam stalwart re
pubcans in congress, who have
Hiitbcrto treated "him with con
temptnom indifference. The se
cret of itns that upon the closing
of t.hs lafce session of congress the
.democrats came into full power in
;both houses, and can work their
.own sweet will in legislation, un
less the president interposes with j
his veto. The stalwarts t!li3refore
ibe?:in to think that it is not rood
policy longer to snub his accidcncy,
.and they seem really dispo.-ed to!
humor hm "with the conceit that
'he is actually a member of the
T2publican party.
"Wanted--A. Redman.
The woman who wrote the fol
lowing to the Port Townsend Ar
gus from Fort Leavenworth Feb
ruary 19th, ought to be married to
a poor white man, and .live some
where in the vicinity of Cam::s
prairie. If that didn't take the
poetry out of her song, give her a
sit with some "noble specimen of
the redman" in the Indian territory.
She says:
Chief Joseph, the last time I saw
him, was such a noble specimen of a
rodman. The lofty and commanding

hnessof demeanor, slumped linn at
once as one of nature's noblemen,
When he, together with the fever-j
stricken remnant of his tribe, left here
last August for the malarial districts
of Indian territory, my heart felt the
prfoundest pity for tfris fallen hero
whose face indicated such utter hope
lessness. I wished to sec Wild Hog, who was
prominent for his barbarity towards
the whites whom he encountered in
his flight last fall. The lieutenant
called, Iiog, Hog, and soon the poor
! wr.hfli mmwnwl with his hands and
feet inlllncied and lookin-' forlorn be-
yon d descnption. We shook hands j
with the guilty, but at the same time

The disastrous fire at Iicno
failed to annihilate the courage
and enterprise of the people of
that once flourisVuig town. Al
ready they have commenced the
task of rebuilding. A vear hence
every vestige of the calamity will
probablv be gone.
Turkey is always short of
money. In ten days its cash will
be gone, and none will come in
till May. Few christians remain
that are wortli fleecing, loans are
extremely hard to make, and the
sultan is in despair. He should
take a vacation.
The discovery of vast natural
beds of saltpeter in Peru will en
