A TEST CASE-
Oregon vs. "Washington Territory
River Pilots.
The British bark Glen earn has boon
libolled on a suit brought in the Uni
ted States District-court, in Portland,
by Capt. James Strang, (f the Oregon
branch of Columbia river pilots, to re
cover river pilotage. It appears that
the bark GU'ii-arn was piloted up the
river by Cit. Al. ISwUswlio l4cUa
branch mmioH by the Washington ter
ritory pilot ooiitmifiMoiterfc. When the
bark had recotvod hor cargo ami was
ready to be towed tluwtt the liver,
Capt. Strang lfeifcl his m vices to
pilot hr down. Cajt. Ilafetie, who i
in cotttittaMcl of the Gkntcarn, ueclttted
his service stating that the ptint who
brought his ship tip the river bad also
been ungagod to take her down.
Capt. Strang, on behalf of httttself
and the cther river pilot i.uhiiug
branch? from the Oregon inmnl of
pilot ooiMitussiouers, contends that a
pilot holding a branch issued by the
Washington lorritoxv boaid, ha no
right to act as such in the Willamet
river, it being outside of that jnrisdu
tion, and hence the suit. The Glen
curn, of course, has given the required
bonds and the vessel will not neces
sarily be delayed.
Itjs perhaps jib well that this vexed
disputation between the two brunches
should be thus early brought into
court so that the question of the
rights and fixed boundaries of the
Washington territory jilots may be
permanently established by a legal
decision emanating fmm the failed
States court which may be considered
final. We ate informed that the
examination into this question of
jurisdiction will probably lead to a
discussion as to the legality and vali
dity of at3r of the branches l&Mied by
the present buard of Wam.ioii
territory pilot commissioners, owing to
the fact that J. B. Knapp, cmj., .ue of
their uumbur, is now, and was at the
issuing of the license to the Wash
ington territory branch a Um iide
resident of the btaic : Oregon.
Still another queMi n of lutpoitance
to this particular case Ls, we nre in
formed, "is U.. AS. Beu a u.uzn

Judge Duaiiy in thia cjjk-, whatever it
may be, wjll be vquteuti in by ali
parties, and est.ib.ist: a irci-mitl
which shall oifectuaily prevent any
luitHitidursiaiidui:; in the future.

The Oregon and California Rail

object is said to be the payment of a
portion of the present indebtedness,
and to raise money for the general
purposes of the company. Some ob

a purpose to extend the road.

Railroad in Salem.
Salem Dally Talk.
We hear all sorts of rumors about
railroads in Salem, that the old stand
ard gauge company will build a depot
iti the city is certain. That they will
J go to the Farmer' warehouse and out
to the fair grounds is equally certain.
But this will take a little time, and
but a little. Then if it runs to Silver
ton it will take the carrying trade of
the country. The narrow gauge read
is another matter of interest to Saloni.
We have the rumor that it will run
from I'errydale to Salem, crossing the
river here and using the Opera house
building for a depot. The building is
jnow owned by the Scotch company,
and it is a dead letter as it now stands.
1 1 would make a nice depot and hotel
continued, ad throw new life into our
street. The narrow gauge road should
have crossed at Salem in the first place
and ran directly to Astoria. It would
take oil the Columbia liver tax on our
wheat and lessen the freight tariff. Tt
would enable ships to load and go to son,
while they are, undor present regula
tions coming up the river for a cargo.
The wheat of this valley should go
direct to Astoria, and if the cars
crossed the river at Salem, the freight
to Astoria would be in proportion to
the tariff to Portland from Salem.
Wc hope to see the narrow gauge take
th's route and make a depot at the
Opera house. If the narrow gauge
does not do it some other road will
cross at Salem, and pas3 on to Astoria.
The route down the Willamet valley
on the oast side, through Lane, Linn
and Marion counties- crossing the
river at Salem, thence through north
Yamhill to Astoria, takes in the largest
and best wheat raising portion of west
orn Oregon. If there is any sense in
running wheat to Portland thence to
Astoria by boats or ships from this
line, we fail to see it. By the laud
route to Astoria the wheat would be
hauled fa ice, by the other route it 13
moved about five limns. Every time
it is moved it is taxed.

apparent benefit, but appeared to be
