The .Reasons Wlir "Work has commenced in earnest on the improvements of the bar at the mouth of Yaquina bay. About twenty-five men are employed di rectly b- the government but the improvement furnishes employ ment for from seventy-five to one hundred persons. Six men are working in the quarry, and they have about one hundred tons of stone -ready for shipment. Four hundred cords of brush are cut and press, it as a tair sample oi tne pueu up near me waier at wueua, arguments advanced by the in- out of which will be built the Pilotage and Towage. The article which we give to-day is from Portlands reputed com mercial journal. We reproduce it merely for the purpose of showing the inconsistencies of the interior MISCELLANEOUS. IMPORTANT I ANNOUNCEMENT: OK THE terior press generally on this topic, though some are worse exagger ated. Not one of those editors write of these things from person al knowledge of the facts ; they seem to treat the subject from hearsay, or the report of designing persons, who have :i chronic am bition to scandalize, lie and black mail. "We assert this with a full understanding of what we are-say-in jr. In the first place, 'there is not now, nor has there for a year been a depth of water on the Columbia river bar to entitle it to confi dence. Neither is it equal now in any respect to New York harbor. Ignorance or stupidity causes the Reporter to confound the terms, possibly; but if he intended to say that this entrance is now superior to the New Yoik entrance, he falsifies. "We agiee that the bp,st interests of Portland and Astoria require needed improvement.-, etc., but it it absurd to assume that what ship masters denounce and expose to be "ineflicient facilities,'" etc., are such. In case that the pilot bill " so carefully framed,'1 had be come a law. it would have pioren a cuise to the commerce of Ore gon and "Washington. All this has been time and again shown up through Tin: A-ioriax; but there is not one single journal in the in terior that has yet commented fairly upon the side of truth with respect to it. "We asseit that it is a slander in round terms; to charge that any member of the assembly from this comity, representative or senator; ever sided with anv "Astoria mo nopolist," intimated in the Report er article. But they did act hon orable, and with a fall understand ing of the situation, and it must be admitted, in all fairness, that they should at least be supposed to know as much about the wants and requirements of shipping, liv ing right here where they can see and understand its workings, as any fresh water sucker who never drew a breath of salt air or ever saw anything afloat laiger than a Wil lamet stern wheel steamer. In this matter of the "Astoria monop olist," we do not comprehend the term. It cannot be Capt. Flavel if so, we fail to see where the monopoly part come in. The present tug boat Mary Taylor, which all the interior press hailed with apparent delight, has been here a long time; and for over two years since the Rescue was put on, there has been more or less oppo sition. The Taylor now has a schooner tender, "the very idea" advocated by the cow counties; and this schooner, the Cousins, is considered first-class. Since this is true, that these opposition crafts, puffed into notoriety notably by the press of Portland, have been here so long, we fail to recognize the force of anv remark about airy supposed monopoly tyrant. The talk of trading, buying and selling votes in the assembly, the legislature as he calls it; is becom ing monotonous, and the scamps who perpetually flaunt the lie should be "given the benefit of civil process to back their charges or be compelled to choke to death in swallowing their base insinua tions. TVc know of no "d Irish man, Englishman or Dutchman," such as the reporter man refers"to; but we very distinctly recollect a hoard of buzzards that hovered around the capital in the efibit to influence sensible members, who opposed that bill, to turn to its sup port. It was the third time the vampires were incontinentally dis persed. Now, once for all, it is the basest slander to charge that any person whatever, Capt. Geo. Flavel or anybodj' else at Astoria; has ever, in one single instance, placed an obstacle of any kind in the Aray of the growth and development of Oregons commerce; and the soon er honest people understand this matter the sooner they will begin to appreciate the candid and dis interested spirit of Astoria, and The Astoriax, in the work of building up an empire in this great and growing Pacific Northwest. HOUSE mattresses ior the building of the jetties. Five hundred cords more will be required. The work of making the mattresses commenced last week. There is a reason for thus beginning one of the most un important of all projected improve ments in Oregon, at the cost and exclusion of an improvement like this at the mouth of the Columbia river would be. An improvement demanded by a commerce which new annually reaches into the millions, as against that of a bayi with only a local trade, which scarcely exceeds the sura of $100 per month, about $1,500 per year. We say there is a reason for it, however; and that reason is wholly political. Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties jointly have one representative in the assembly; Columbia has another; Columbia and Clatsop are jointly inter ested in one senator. This po litical influence is so small that it amounts to nothing in the selection of a senator to the United States senate, when com pared with the cow counties;" and the cow counties get away with the seuators then in order to keep the position the senators get away with the balance of the Prcific Northwest by neglecting to secure the aid needed for the commerce of the Columbia, and the u excessive charges " and " in efficient facilities" dodges are then resorted to, to prove to the cow county man that he is taxed to death to support an Astoria mo nopoly. What barefaced cussed ness and audacious lying wont scheming political hounds adopt to carry out their rotten purposes. But, so long as Clatsop county is foolish enough to pay her state taxes, and put up with these dia bolical outrages, we 've said enough.
