Sax Fbancisco, Feb. 3, 1882.
San Francisco is indulging in
one of her periodical pouts. Busi
ness men look glum, and the ex
pansive holiday smile of the trader
has faded away to a sickly, senti
mental stare. The reason of all
th.is lugubriousness is the weather
or rather the want of it for
weather at this season in Califor
nia means rain. We have had but
a beggarly account of some seven
Or eight inchps at this writing, and
the sky loots as relentless and un
promising as the face of a long
suffering creditor. There seems to
be nothing for it but a dry year;
and that means stagnation, disas
ter and general discomfort. Yet
the streets are crowded with
EICHLY DEES5ED -WOMEN.
The theaters are doing a big busi
ness; whisky and beer flow freely
and unremittingly down the
parched throat of the insouciant
Frisean; the social world is lively
with balls and touts, marrying and
giving in marriage; and the whole
town seems to be on a lark, de
spite the gloom prospect in the
countrv. There is a good deal of
the Parisians clastic, devil may
care volatility irt the averago Fris
can character. No use fighting
the inevitable; wo arc wise if we
can not only endure it but laugh
at it. Vive la bagatelle.
A DE3PEEATE EFFOET
Is being made to enforce the Sun
day law. Several arrcbts have
been made and some trifling fines
imposed. The other day a grocer
was mulcted in ten dollars for
selling a box of blackinpon Sun
day. The saloon keepers come in
for the worst of it, as the law,
though theoretically almost gen
eral in its application, is undoubt
edly directed against the liquor in
terest. Tho liquor men, however,
have a powerful protective organ
ization, styled "Tho Lcaguo of
Freedom," which delays judicial
proceedings, encumbers tho courts
by demanding jury trials in all
cases, and pays tho culprit's fine
when that procooding is inevitable.
And so tho
SUNDAY BOOZIXO
And the refreshing Sabbath game
of pedro go on as of yore. It is
the general opinion of those who
have kept their senses during this
excitement that whon this spasm of
virtue exhausts itself, San Fran
cisco will bo found as reckless as
bibulous and as incorrigible as
ever. "We decline to bo made
moral by law; and, should the Sab
batarians effect their purpose, such
is the perversity of human nature
under real or fancied restraint,
that every man will arm himself
with a bottle or a demijohn (ac
cording to his internal capacity) on
Saturday night, and the peaceful
Sabbath; now at least outwardly
decorous, will become a howling
pandemonium of inebriety. I
called at
THE OEEGON" STATE BOARD OP 1SI
5IIGBATIOX One dav last week and had a
pleasant and instructive chat with
Mr. John E. Shepherd, tho resi
dent commissioner. He says that
the spring boom is becoming no
ticeable. During the winter months
arrivals arc always light aver
aging now about thirty or forty a
day but it seems that some
14,000 people came overland to
settle in Oregon last year. Thisis
truly a big- showing, especially as
the immigration was of a kind to
benefit a new country; that is to
say, industrial; farmers with means,
mechanics, laborer, etc. Mr.
Shepherd is advised daily from
Omaha of the precise number of
Oregon immigrants'on each train.
.He receives them on arrival, looks
1 to their baggage, tells them of
. honest, reputable hotels, protects
ttipm fmm' sharoers. and. cener-
allv, performs the offire of a friend
for the often bewildered strangers.
He, moreover, gives them certi
ficateb entitling them to half-fare
rates in Oregon, and such advice
and information as may be neces
sary to guide them in the selection
of a home. Mr. S. lived many
years in Oregon, and knows the
state thoroughly. He is a kindly,
genial, sympathetic map, indus
trious and unpretentious, and em
phatically tho right man in the
right place. The offico of the
bureau is at 584 Battery street. It
is almost filled with samples of
Oregon products, neatly arranged
and catalogued. There is also an
inexhaustible supply of pamphlets
on Oregon and Washington Terri
tory which have evidently been
carefully prepared. Some ten
thousand of these are distributed
annually from his office alone, free.
The California Immigrant Associa
tion appears to bo languishing.
The truth is, every desirable foot
of land in this state is either
owned or claimed by somebody.
The millions of acres of govern
ment land of which we boast are
either on some inaccessible moun
tain top, some arid plain, or else
in the middle of some pugnacious
stockman's range. Improved land
is beyond the reach of the .ordi
nary new-comer, ine immigrant
Association, therefore, can do but
little for the immigrant; and lie
finally finds his way to Oregon, or
goes baek East disheartened and
impoverished.
ELECTION MATTEBS
Are becoming talked of. Tho
chances look lamentably favorable
for a good, old-fashioned fight.
The irrepressible Dennis Kearney
is early in the field, bloviating at
the sand lot and organizing ward
clubs of workingmen for the cam
paign. No one seems to take nny
notice of him, not even so far as to
anoint his devoted head with the
cmbryotic chicken. I was at ono
or his alleged meetings tho other
night. So wore five other curious
but feeble-minded individuals.
Heaven forgive us for it!
Haverly cleaned up the Califor
nia Theater, renovated it some
what, put a good play on the
boards, and is making money.
And now Locke and ifaguire, and
some other fossilized fogies, are
wondering why they never thefught
or it before. Eastern enterprise,
brains and capital are rapidly open
ing our provincial eyes, not only
in matters theatrical, but in min
ing, manufacturing, advertising
and other directions.
ceijie
Is fearfully rampant. Two police
courts are hardly suifaietit for
their work, and anothe.s talked
of. The dessicating blizzards from
the north which have waltzed mer
rily through the streets almost
continuously this winter, may be
accountable. They aro so uncom
fortable, vexatious and tantalizing,
that murders .and suicides seem
more natural than otherwise under
their awful infliction.
The proposition of the Ocean
Shoro people to build a railroad all
round San Francisco, is favorably
entertained bv the supervisors. It
is assumed that tho usual douceur
has been proffered and taken.
Every reputable man and "journal
is against it as a deliberate and
SHAMEFUL STEAL.
San Francisco needs no such
road at prosent, and when she
does it will not be necessary to
give away tho franchise. Lots of
responsible parties would bo will
ing to pay tho city handsomely for
such a privilege. J. G.
In Re. wil oppose the opening of the
The WeeklyllontainierisoneiColutnb5ariver -?"gtion, id
of the papers that has a few ideas a competitive reduction of freights
and isn't afraid to exraesa them.!
In a recent aiticlc on "The Next
Election," our Dalles contempor
ary says:
It is of the gieatest importance
tint a company which hold the
charters of all lhe railroads of the
entire Northwest, shall be able
virtually to control the legislation
of the Northwest, and also to bo
able to place its own man in the
United States Senate, where by
joint action with railway interests
which do not compete with the
interests of this road, they will be
able to break at will the terms of
the land grant made to the North
ern Pacific, under which settle
ment is now suffering, and also
be able to oppose a national trans
portation relief bill, which sooner,
or later the country will be forced
to adopt, to fix the maximatn rates
of transportation for the safety and
progress of the people. We do
not care who is selected to repre
sent us in the United States
Senate, or in the Legislature, but
if we would iu this generation see
Eastern Oregon and its settlers
have a fair chance to roach market
with their labor, it is our duty to'
be full' assured that no man bo
selected therefor, who is nnetn-

And let us bear
one thing in mind, that under no
specious promises of reduction in ,

, to a free river.
Tho Oreffonian talks about it -
being no advantage to open trans
portation at the Cascades, and that
no considerable area of country
would be favorably effected by
navigation being opened to The
Dalles. Lot barges and steamers
be able to ship'cargoes of grain at
The Dalles, and deliver merchan
dise there at such rates to and

cents to get it up to Portland, as
we now do, and the most oppres
sive rates upon merchandise com
ing up tho river, under a system
of charges and assumed weights
and measurements which cannot
bo equalled on the continent. Let
such privileges be once assured to
The Dalles, and wo will teach the
public journal paid to assist in
robbing us, whether there is any
extent of country to be benefited
by such advantages. Give us such
a privilege, and thirty days shall
I see tap roads building out upon
the north and the south of this city
that will find fruitful area enough
to astonish the Portlander, as its
products goes by the mouth of the
Willamette on its way to market.
Let "it be understood that wheat
can be shipped at Tho Dalles for
tho ship at Portland or Astoria as
cheap as its' carriage from St.
Louis, Mo., to Liverpool to day,
and the journal of the "Benevolent
Monopoly" will want a branch
house above that gap in tho high-
! lands at once. Wheat is now
carried from St. Louis to Liver
pool for 7-J- cent3 per bushel, more
than four thousand miles for -half
what it costs us to got from The
Dalles and landed 12 miles up the
Willamette at Portland. Let the!
farmer of Wasco county remember
that tho freight per bushol of
wheat from Tho Dalles to Port
land, 100 miles, is 13 cents. St.
Louis to Liverpool, 4,000 miles,
averago year by year 10 cents.
Chicago to Liverpool, 4,000 miles,
14 cents.
If men wish to bo thoughtless
enough to sustain legislation which
tvl,,ch "$-- mer a chance
to iive from u sale of wheat, gram,
potatoes, etc., they have a right to
do Ho, but they ought not to com
plain of any kind of extortion.
It is no reason because the early
settlers who paid for supplies in
cattle, horses and wood, were
obliged to pay high freight charges,
that at this day, with a change to
grains, etc., in products, that the
country within 100 miles ol tide
waters should submit to an extor
tion so vers much above that
forced upon any other portion of
the country. .
