" Shipments of Salmon.
A correspondent having written
for information respecting the
catch for the 'past season, th'e ship
ments, etc., we have collated the
following, statistics. During the
season of 1881 there were 546,393
cases of salmon packed. - Of this
araount58G,660 cases were shipped
direct to Liverpool, 172,133 cases
were shipped to San Francisco,
the Lanarkshire, now loading at
Brown's dock, will take in about
33,000 cases more, leaving about
45,000 cases still in store, which
will probably be taken by va
rious outgoing vessels before the
close-of 'the year, at least long be
fore th'e'opening of next season's
fishing. P rom the most authentic
sources we learn that the total of
las tf season's, .catch at other places,
" Sacramento river, Cal., Fraser
river, British Columbia, Puget
sound, "W. T., Rogue river, Ore
gon, and other places, was 447,-
290 cases, making with Columbia
river's produce an aggregate of
994,383 cases of 48 pounds each.
or 47,728,384 pounds of salmon
packed on the Pacific coast in 1881.
These figures look large, and they
are, but -we have the world for a
market, and the demand to-day is
beyond the supply. Liverpool
has been, and probably for some
time to, come will be the distribu
ting.point for the foreign market.
'During the last two seasons quite
a demand has sprung: up for
canned salmon in southern and
eastern Europe, and the indi
cations point to an increased de
mand in.the season of '82. From
wnat we can learn canneries are
being built at ever' available
point on the North Pacific coast.
Here new canneries are being
erected and increased facilities
being placed to meet the great
and grewing: demand. Below we
append some figures concerning
the annual pack on the Columbia
for the -last sixteen years, which
vjill igiyia very clear idea of the
growth of one of our leading in
dustries.

- ; M Monopolies.
Considerable discussion is at
present going on in this State rela
tive to "monopolies;" what they
arewhat causes them, how to pre
vent them, how to get rid of them,
etc. In relation to the discussion
it may be characterized as the
same'" thing over again. It has
been said and resaid a hundred
times. In the articles referred to
'what is good is not new, and what
is new is not good." It seems to
be inherent in the human mind to
monopolize, and generally the
loudest complaints come from
those in whom the measure of de
sire exceeds the ability to compass
their desires. Selfishness and dis-
. regard for the rights of others
"wn'en opportunity is presented for
successful disregard of those rights
lie at the bottom of all monopolv.
,And until the millenium arrives
and all that is not angelic has left
man's nature, monopolies will ex
ist and flourish. How they can be
-held level, how resisted and kept
irom encroaching on private rio-ht
and individual property is an open
question.

and rivalry, and cause a corapeti

Xorthern Pacific Land Grant.
A5TOBIA, Oct 12. 18S1-
En. Asioriax, Deas Sir: In
your editorial of to-day, quoting
from a San Francisco dispatch, it
is stated that along the Portland
branch of the Northern Pacific the
grant takes one-half of a belt of
forty miles width in Washington
Territory and twenty miles in
Oregon.
This I believe is a mistake, un
fortunately for the people who live
south of the Columbia. The Com
missioners of the general land
office have reserved to the North
ern Pacific railroad a belt forty
miles wide in Oregon and forty
miles wide in Washington Terri
tory, on account of the company
filing its intention to build and its
location of route on the north bank
of the Columbia river between the
mouth of the Snake river and The
Dalles. If, however, the N. P. R.
H. Co. should build on the south
bank of the Columbia river be
tween the points named, and as
the O. P. & N. Co. have done it,
the N. P. R. R. could only obtain
by a parity of procedure one half
as much land on either side of the
river. Thus it will be seen that
our representatives, without In
tending it, offered a large land
subsidy premium to the N. P. R.
R. for building outside of the State
of Oregon on the north bank of
the Columbia instead of on the
south bank of the same river.
This should be remedied in our
next Congress in Washington, by
an amendment to the Northern
Pacific railroad bill, when it is
brought up for an extension of time.
I have been over the lands my
self many times, which are situated
on the south of the Columbia river
between the twenty mile and forty
mile limit, between The Dalles
and Umatilla, and although unset
tled as yet, I predict that they will
be found as rich and valuable as
any lands now settled in the Co
lumbia river basin. An amend
ment can be made giving the N..
P. R. R. Co. the same amount of
lands as if the railroad were built
on the north side, leaving it dis
cretionary with the company to
choose the side on which it will
build.
Coming further down the river
wo find that within the next six
months the Northern Pacific is to
be built between Portland and
ivaiania. lue sule ol the river
chosen here between these points
for the location of the road is
likely to be on the north or east
bank on account of the additional
land grant to be earned by that
location. But the circumstances
here between the points mentioned
are different, and the extra amount
ef land grant to be secured is
trifling. On the south or west
side of the Columbia river, be
tween the last-named points, all
the lands are reserved to the As
toria railroad by a grant prior to
that made the Northern PaciGc.
These last-mentioned lands, situa
ted between Astoria and Forest
Grove, and between Tillamook on
the west and the Columbia rivet-
on the east and north, include a
sufficient value of coal and timber
lands to more than build the road
between Forest Grove and Astoria;
but cannot be diverted to anv
other road without an act of con
gress, ihey cannot be justly
or leirallv earned bv the North-
era Pacific. The unearned rail
road lands lying between the
twenty-mile limit and the forty
mile limit east of the Columbia
river,between Portland and Kalama
are limited in extent and value,but
probably of sufficient value to in
fluence the Northern Pacific to
build on the north and east side of
the Columbia river if some amend
ment, as I said before, is not made
to the N. P. R. R. bill this winter,
giving it as much land when built
in Oregon as when built in Wash
ington Territory. Cusctux.
