Editorial Correspondence.

Pohtlani), MaySlh, 1S79.
I'he Hay rtard reached Kalama to-day
ten minutes ahead of the starting time
of the train for Tacoma, and eighty
minutes ahead of the arrival of the
train from Tacomaj this gave us an
opportuniCy to interview the terminus.
Kalama is a ?ery drill place, 'without
hope of revival. Gen. Sprague has
again taken the supremacy of the
railroad and had just returned from a
trip of observation. He is now puz
zling his head over a somewhat per
plexing matter, to-wit: the durability
of timber. Can any one explain why
it is that timber cut in the same day,
from the same tree, so to speak, varies
so much in durability in the same
bridge, on the same line of ties? Also,
why is it that railroad iron in a cer
tain portion f the track will actually
creep up a hill, at the rate of an inch
a month, twelve inches in a year,
seven feet in seven years? Such are
a few of the perplexing .things one
meets with in the office of Superintend
cnt of a railroad.
We were VerT much entertained
this afternoon in conversation with
two gentlemen who were traveling
companions from Kalama, Judge A.
B. Levisee, and Col. W. A. Gavett of
the United States treasury depart
ment. Judge Levisee, for a longtime
prior to the war, and up to within two
years past, was a resident of Louisi
ana. He recites some of the bitter
experiences of the war which have
driven thousands of good men from
the south political exiles, and is the
cause of the present exodus of blacks.
In answer to our inquiry as to whether
he should return to Louisiana to live,
his reply was that in the slave crossing
the river at Detroit, "there's a va
cancy down there; you are welcome to
it." He will not return to till it anjT
longer. The leading men and the
public press of the south, are making
fatal mistakes by their bull dozing, and
it will soon be apparent to them.
Would that we had a thousand or two
of those faithful negroes here in Ore
gon, t'j take the places filled here nw
by the much despised celestials.
But of this more anon.
The weather has been very delight
ful to-day, all nature seems to be re
joicing, and this beautiful city is truth
fully 'sitting like a fat duck upon the
pearly edges of prosperity," a saying
credited to us in 18G5 about to be
fully realized. To-morrow we are to
visit the city with Mr. Yan B. De
Lashmut, of D. & O. the "Retail
Bankers," and observe the march of
improvements from his buggy seat.
The present railroad talk means busi
ness, and when the Utah Northern,
Central Pacific, and Northern Pacific
all terminate in Portland as they must,
and will, very soon; Astoria will get
a benefit. It is a great pity that the
resources of eastern Oregon and Wash
ington were not known ten years ago,
before the Northern Pacific Railroad
company put so much to idle purpo
ses in a line from Kalama to Puget
sonnd. But day light is dawning for
us all, and there is room for all, let all
say come. d. c. i.
Win. E. Baker oiFers to donate
property valued at 200,000, pro
vided the sum of 8110,000 additional
be gtiarranteed, for the benefit of the
Massachusetts Public Health Associa
tion, for the purpose of carrying out
recommendations of boards of health
by inspection and advice as to im
provement in house ventilation and
drainage, for the suppression of adult
eration in food, and for the establish
ment of schools of cookery and diet
kitchens for the sick.
Forty-nme failures were reported
in Jtf ew York in April, in which the
total liabilities amounted to 1,199,
883, and the assets were estimated at
$Q3,121. Compared with the pre
ceding month, this shows a large in
crease in liabilities, March having
Torty failures, with liabilities -of $480,
'449, and assets of $211,754. In April,
1878, there were seventy-three fail
urers ; total liabilities, 9,890,000.
Kindness to Animnls-
The Lieutenant Goernor of Michi
gan writes o the Eluiira Huslfsud
man concerning the treatment of
fractious animals cmbodj'ing the
following excellent ideas: It is a
matter that I have tested throughly
in practice, and 1 have learned that
animals that are treated kindly are
not apt to be vicious or ugly. Treat
them kindly, young or old, let them
know that you will not hurt them; and
more, teach them that j'ou are their
best friend. It is very easy, and also
a very pleasant thing to do, and if
you do it the chances are that your
cows will be Kind and gentle, your
steers and oxen and your colts and
horses will be so also. If it is found
that any animals can not be made
useful by kind treatment it is best to
get rid of them. Treated kindly from
the start they yield to it easily. Prof.
Miles, when going around with me to
see mjr sheep, said: "What is the mat
ter with your sheep? They do not
run when they see you?" I could
only say in reply that they knew me,
and hart come to regard me as their
best friend. I should feel that some
thing was wrong with me if my do
mestic animals did not welcome me
and appear pleased at my approach.
The coroner who put- out in a
small boat and chased a body five
miles down the Mississippi river only
to find it was Paul Boy ton, says such
nonsense ought to be stopped. He
thinks Boyton has no right to fool
with the best interests of the country.
It is related of the late Mine.
Bonaparte that she never adopted
the new-fangled notion of gas, but
always used candles, and she would
not allow a carpet to be laid oil
her bed-room floor.
