( SB glxc gnils stwtou ASTORIA. OREGON : WEDNESDAY NOV. 23, 18S1 JT. F. HAXLOR AN. Editor. Another Gineli. About two -weeks ago the resi dents of Yakimn and vicinity, at a public meeting, drQw up-a set of resolutions and a memorial to be sent to the Secretarjfaf trie interiors It seems they. have a grievance as intolerable as that which this section complains of. Here "is how the Yakimates state their case: ''At the time the Northern Pa cific Railway company was incor porated, Congress -granted to it a tract of land embracing every odd numbered section for a distance of forty miles on either side of the track, and extending the entire length of thee road 'through this and other--territories. Tn other t words, the company received from Congress a half ownership in a strip of land, eighty miles -wide and as long as this and the other territories through which the pro posed road was to pass. In addi tion to this the company received a similar grant.of "lands along its branch road thus constituting a donation of nearly one-half of this territory! In area this donation is larger in .size than many of the Eastern states larger than many an empire renowned in the world's history! For what was this muni ficent and princely donation made? It was given ostensibly to aid in reclaiming and settling -what was at that time a "wild, uninhabited country Seventeen years have elapsed since -that -time and the road is still uncompleted. In the meantime the country has been reclaimed and settled through othei agencies. " This "railroad" land, however-, still remains with drawn from settleuienl,-greatly to the disadvantage of the country the doaation was designe'd to bene fit. Besides thus retarding the settlement of our country it is now operating to keep out other railroad builders, who, without subsidy,, would race with each olher to gain the most desirable route through the Cascades to the Sound. Backed up by its great snbsidy the Northern Pacific (owned now by the Oregon Com pany) can keep out competition and at the same time delay con struction of the road themselves By this means they can perpetuate their Columbia river monopoly for an unlimited p.eriud. Judging from the recent ntteiances of Mr. Villard, the president of the con cern, this is undoubtedly the policy his company will pursue, unless interfered with by oongress. Af tor tho government has given to the Northern Pacific Company an eighty-mile strip of the people's land and doubled the price of the i?lnainder, have the people no right to demand an untrammeled and competing thoroughfare? And is the road, after seventeen years of dillydallying, to be completed only when it shall suit the interests of a monopoly which will be broken up and ruined by its construction? The Northern Pacific company long since forfeited 4ts land b3' reason of its failure to build the road within the time prescribed by law. Yet, owing to tho peculiar wording of the grant, it requires an act of Congress to declare the fojfeiture, and it is supposed that the powerful influence of the com pany will be sufficient to prevent this declaration 'being made. If on the other hand, an honest set tler upon tho public domain, by any mishap or dereliction -of duty fails to comply with the require ments of the homestead, pre-emption or forest-culture laws, he not only loses his lands but also his rights to acquire land under these acts? It is the opinion of the people of this section that the govern ment should compel tho immedi ate construction of thi Northern Pacific road across the mountains, and prevent, as far as practicable, the present monopoly or declare the land grant forfeited. These are the objects to which the en closed resolutions respectfully in vite your attention, and with such in view we trust that they 1113' lcceivc your careful considera tion." This is a dignified rcmonstranco against oxisting injustice and should meet with attention com mensurate with its importanco. Washington Letter. The estimate in the annual re port .of the Chief Engineer., for rivers and harbors and public works amouut to 3S,000.000 against $28,000,000, last year. The increase is due to the demand in the "West for internal improve ments, and the rapid settling ot the country. The Secretary of War will probably cut down this estimate less than one-third. Mexico has scaled the top of the guano pile, floating around loose in the Pacific, and torn down the stars and stripes, and there is music in the air. The American bird stands erect on -the top of said hill, claiming it as his own inheritage, and shrieking ven geance, to the tune of "E Plun derus Mexico." Guiteau has lately written to several public men to get money to carry on his case; among the first, perhaps the very first, was one to President Arthur, in which he said "that as the instrument of the Lord, he had promoted him from vice President, an 8,000 position, to one paying 30,000, it was just that he should give a portion of the latter sum for his (Guitean's) defence. It was use less to say this never met the President's eye. Another of these appeals was addressed to the pro prietor of the New York Herald. In it he wrete: "I ask you to make a liberal contribution for nry defence, in view of the suf ferings the Herald caused me in '74, and I have no doubt,, consid ering your liberality and right mindedness, but that you will do it. As your reporter sug gested, a 10,000 check, or the cash if you do not wish your name to appear will be very grate fully received. I have no doubt had T proceeded with the case (in '7-i) it would have cost twice that to vou." It seems at that time he had collected money for cer tain parties in New York and failed to hand over. This tho Herald exposed, hence the suit, then, and the request now. The latest production from the pen of the assassin is addressed to C. M. Bell of "Washington who photo graphed the villain just after his arrest and reads as follews: Mr. Bell: This will introduce to you my attorney Gen. Scoville Esq., who wishes to talk to you about the royalty duo me on my photographs. You know you havo been supplying the country with them, and it is right that you should pay mo a reasonable n3T alty. "What will you give to settle without trouble or expense? Youis truly, Charles Guiteau, U. S. Jail, Washington, D. C, Nov. 2, I SSL Please give Mr. Scoville half do-sen side view photographs for me. C. G. All these appeals are fruitless, the evident aim being to educate the public up to his insanity plea. It is well understood that the Gov ernment are taking active steps to explode the insanity plea. A physician is engaged to visit tho jail and make studies of the crimi nal. Said a reporter to Scoville yesterday: "The Government will oppose you with a formidable array of lawyers." "Yes," said Scoville "it is hardly fair. Unless -Mr. Trude comes there will be no one but Robinson and I for the de fence. The District Attorney too, can use all the agents of the Gov ernment in preparing his case. If I bad money, I would have been very well prepared. I think now the people are beginning to look at the case without prejudice. I have little fears now about the jury. Of course I expect them to be'a little prejudiced. It will be shown on trial that whatever Gui teau is. he was never a depraved or bad man as ho has been repre-. scnted. 1 do not think that the hitorv of the world affords a casr of a man who had livi'il to bt forty vnars of ago without crime, load ing a religious life, and not itvengo- j fill by nature, and then, without 1 cause or passion and in his sound senses shoot another man down. On the other hand theio are many cases where an insane man has j committed such an act." A dozon candiuatu are making! desperate dibits to sceuro. thej Senate iJeslauranl. Piesident pio teni. Davis is undivided umpite in l this important snuggle. He has decreed that a list of prices must be submitted with the bid. former prices being too high. A tasting committee cannot be selected this week, as tho.e best adapted to act on that committee have gone on to New York to rejoice over the elections. The occupants of the Senate Restaurant not only pay 110 rent, but Are furnishiid with fuel, gas, wator, ice and furnishings foi rooms and tables. The arguments in the telephone inventorship eases havo just closed in the Patent Office, but it will take weeks yet to know who is what. The Hon. John Foster has taken his abode hore foi the eason, his resignation as Minister to Russia having been accepted. Tiic regular crop oE early win ter alarmists is being heard from. The first harvested is a I '. S. lieu tenant who informs a shuddering world that the oysters at e all dying-, and that the bivalves will soon be extinct. The Polaris makes thi-, editori al anneuncement: "We want to turn the faucet and have things run to our hand, and the faucet must be on oasteis, that it may be convenient.'" A faucet uon .cas ters'' is a" most ornate plumbing suggestion. Tin: Austrian government has appropriated twelve million- of dollars for the improvement 01 the Danube. A little touch of Austti anism in that respect on the part of our own government would be very acceptable out tin way just at present.
