ishes.lsome . curious statistics re
lative to the .sickness and death of
Garfield: ; lie was shot- -on the 2d
.day ofjjufv, died" on "the 19th of
'September, and was buried, or
placed in a tomb, on the 2Gth of
September in all eighty-five days.
Congress will be called upon to
defray the expenses of the sickness
and of the funeral. It is also un
derstood that Congress will bej
called upon to vole a sum of
money- to Mxs. Garfield. It will
be"remeinbered that when the il
lustrious Lincoln was assassinated
-Congress managed to vote his
widow a pension of 3,000 a year.
It is quite probable tliat Congress
will vote -Mrs. Garfield the full
sal&ryfcof 'the -President -for the
year, .which will give her, say
S2o,000. An effort will be made
to "give her a pension of 4s5,000.
ySh'oilrt tliat be done, a demand
win ne maue 10 increase jvirs. m
colnV pension to that amount.
Mrs. Garfield is now well provided
for; an income of at least 512,009
a year is -already secured. If she
obtains "a, pension of $3,000, her
regular income during her life
cannot fall short of 15,000 a year.
In additioii'to this, the widow will
doubtless have about 1 00,000,
tand iu a pecuniary point of view,
she will be vastly better oil' than
the widow of the lamented Lincoln.
Private Secretary Brown, who
attended to all the purchases of
the President's sick room and re
receipted for all goods received,
estimates the cost of the Presi
dftiifs sickness at $1Q0,000, which
would be at the rate 1,250 a day.
of this cost .the doctor's bills will
form the' largest item, say 53,000.
Of lHiVriionnt Dr. Bliss will want
25,000,tDrsAgnew and Hamil

Such things, as beef extract,

is said to be a vast 'accumulation
roiittjnigs, patent medicines, liquors,
MJ;nfn6 White liou'-e, forward
ed from all parts of the country,
which will doubtless be given to
Jhe poor of Washington. The
Pennsylvania railroad moved the
" Presiderit'to'Long Branch, brought
the remains back to Washington,
and took them to Cleveland, for
winch, it is' understood, no charges
"will bemade,. .
The expenses at Elberon are set
kdo"wn at 1,000. The funeral cere-
monies .at. the capital are estimated
at 1,000, including the decoration
of buildings. Tlie cost "of the trip
. to Cleveland for Senators and
"Representatives, hire of carriages,
&C, is estimated at 5,000, cost of
telegraph messages, 2,000; un
. id er takers , bills are estimated at
5,000, and it now looks as though
100,000 would meet every de
maud, but there is a possibility
thattnuch more will be required.
ClevelancLmade a good tbing of it
"in a business point of view. The
figures show a grand total of ex-
ipendituresitsickriess and funeral
of 347,050, of which the United
States will pay, say 100,000, leav
ing 217,050 for )hio, Cleveland,

Mi:. EiutOk;
In yesterday's Oregonian are
some remarks of Capt. Gorringe
on the manner of improving the
river and the Columbia bar, fa vot
ing dredging and opposing scout
ing by contraction of the width of
the channel. His argument per
haps isgood concerning the river
above, but does it apply equally as
well to the bar at the mouth of the
river? Are the rivers and places
cited by him similar to the entrance
of the Columbia river?
The Columbia discharges a
larger volume of water than most
streams of the world. It carries
to the sea also relatively but a
small amount of sediment. I
think the shoals and spits at the
entrance are formed by sands
thrown in or up from the sea
rather than a deposit brought
down the river, though that is
perhaps immaterial. The amount
suspended in the water aud de
posited.is so small that the north
and soath currents of the ocean at
right angles to the river would
carry it all away and throw it upon
the sea shores noith and south of
the river, if only a strong current
from the river ran well seaward.
This the river would make if
Clatsop spit was so dyked or filled
up, to be reclaimed as it were,
thus throwing into tke channel the
water now floating over this two
mile spit. Such a contraction of
the mouth of the river by two
miles would make a volume
and current of water through
the main channel to sea as
would deepen it to thirty feet
or more and keep itself free
from bars still further out. The
Sacramento river discharges noth
ing near as large an amount of
water as the Columbia river, but
carries a great deal more sediment,
yet by the contraction of the chan
nel between the "Heads," the bur
at the Golden Gate is thirty
feet below the surface of the
water. I think by contractions,
the entrance to the Columbia river
would be as deep as that to San
Francisco, and wouid maintain it
self equally as well also. 1 do.not
oppose the dredging, however, as
it would give immediate relief
and have a tendency, by drawing
the water into the channel, to
build up naturally Clatsop spit
and make dry land ol it, which
it was a few years ago; to build
it up as the whole peninsula of
Clatsop plains has been gradually
built up from Tillamook Head
and the meuth of Lewis and Clarke
river northward to Point Adams.

x R. K. Stoct.
Os the subject of railroad mut
ters the Portland correspondent of
the San Francisco Merchant thus
disceurseth:
The plans of the O. H.& X. Co.,
the N. P. 1?. R. and the Oregon
and Transcontinental arc inuuen.se
ones; huge ones if you please. A
large amount of money is involved
in their completion and later work
ings. This is to come out of a
country sparsely settled, compara
tively. Of course the completion
of the.se road will increase the
population by immigration, but
this is uncertain in result, and
sometime will be required to allow
it to throw business in the way of
the railroads. Should a period of
hnancial depression throughout the
United States come, with it must
come hard times for all, not even
excepting corporations with large
capital. While such a period is
not now looked for, it must be ad
mitted that any year may bring it.
The whole land to-day wonders
at the creation of corporations with
an array of capital not dreamed
of a few years ago. "Watered
stock is the name given much of
it, and rightfully too, notwithstand
ing we have drawn millions from
the Old World, and have dug con
siderable out of our own country.
The stock of the corporations pro
posing to connect us with the At
lantic) side, may not be watered, if
not, then there is left the more
reason that the investment must
pay dividends. The men at the
head of all this enterprise are noted
financiers, and probably see thei
return; but the poor correspon
denent may at least sit by and
wonder, and even make a remark
occasionally. Here I wish to re-
?ie in.cident told me, without
doubting its correctness, although
1 know not the value of the stock
at nreent: At the tune when the
Oregon and I ranscontinental was
first talked of, and before the dear
public knew of it. organization, a
wealthy gentleman was approached
by a friend who was on the inside,
and who could sccurr $40,000 Of
i,tock for his wealthy friend at par.
Of course as soon as the scheme
was tirade public, the stock would
be worth "l.0. The amount was
taken, but it was not worth 150,
aud is said to be worth but 75.
If this is a fair sample of the ex
perience of investors, then there
must come a change.
