'An exchange comes with u column marked "Facts and Opinions;" which the eame would indicate that its opinions differ from the facts. "An Indian outbreak" is reported from Idaho. Too early.

Thero will be Jess by far built in '8t than in "83. Mutilated coin is again making its ap pearance in Astoria. The only way to prevent this nuisance from becoming general is for everyone to refuse it. A tub of coal on the Isle of Erin, which is discharging at the Main street wharf, yesterday afternoon struck a guy and emptied in the hold, severely cutting one of the men. A lively business has been going on this week in the buying of county orders, witnesse3,subpoenaes, etc. There is profit on both sides, the most of it however go ing to the purchaser. In the U. S. Senate last Thursday, Sen ator Dolph presented the petition of tbe chamber of commerce praying for an ap propriation of $500,000 for the improve ment of the Columbia river bar. Gen. H. G. Wright, chief of engineers, will bo retired on the 6th of March by reason of age. To those who aro in favor of Columbia bar improvement tho retirement of one of its most inveterate opponents can not be a source of regret. In tho case of tho State of Oregon ver sus Lum Dot, in which that gigantic Jlongolian was accused of wounding Mike Sullivan in the wrist, tho jury failed to agree and were discharged yes terday morning; likewise Lum Dot; also the case. Coupled with the salmon catch of tho coast, which centers at Astoria, is the fit ness of centering two other industries here the business of catching whales in tfie North Pacific, which is yearly assum ing great proportions, and tho Alaska seal fisheries. These two enterprises now haye their headquarters at San Fran ciwo. There are thousands of acres of tide land in this county that when property reclaimed will be tho most valuable land in the stato for root crops and dairy purposes. They are being rapidly put into a state of cultivation. Other por tions comi rising the sand beach can also bet utilized, though the process of re claiming beach lands is a slow one, re, quiring seven or eight years for its suc cessful completion. Applause. The correct method of ap plause is to prepare for the outbreak of appreciation before the end of the act that arouses it is reached. The hands are a&wly raised at about the middle of tho final effort, and the right is held sus pended over the left, even as tho maternal Eipperis held for a moment hovering over 'the person of the offending boy; the month slowly opens, tho hands are stretched wider apart until the person attached thereto looks like a hand-organ grinder's monkey begging for pennies: and as the last word is spoken the hands clash together with a mighty force and the shout of applause rends the air. -FBOBABL.X Lost. It is 252 days since t,hV Minnie M. Watts left New York for this port. She has not been heard from since July 22, 1883, and is probably lost with all on board. There were twelve in,the crew. Captain Edwin Watts had his wife and children with him. He was a native of Maine, about fifty years of age. ne was me principal uwuur uj. mo vessel. She was worth about $10,000, and was partially insured. The cargo consisted of 1.000 tons steel rails and a quantity of railroad material valued in ail at about $80,000. The bark was re garded as seaworthy, was built at Th6niaston, Me., in 1875, and measured 3S3 tons. IamorUUtr. The argument from nature in regard to human immortality considered.

Last Thursday Senator Dolph of Ore gon presented to tho senate the memorial of our Astoria chamber of commerce, asking congress to nppropriata -300,0C0 for the improvement of the mouth of tho Columbia river. In offering tho petition ho said the contemplated improvement was of importance not only to tho com merce of tho northwest but to the ship ping of the world, and stated that at somo other time ho should ask consent to present to the senate some statistics on that point. Tho Columbia was the third river in size in the United States; it drained 350,000 square miles of territory and was navigable 703 miles from the mouth. Vessels drawing more than twenty-two feet now could not cross the Columbia bar, but the expenditure asked by tho petition would suffice to dredge it so that vessels of twenty-six feet net draft could pass in. Concluding, Senator Dolph said he had introduced a bill ask ing the appropriation asked for, and he hoped tho senate would give it some attention. The petition was referred to the committee on commerce. On motion of Hoar of Massachusetts the petition was read and ordered printed in the Record, and also as a senate document. The New York Herald of the 17th says: The land grant of the Oregon Cen tral railroad, against forfeituro of which ex-Senator Mitchell, argued beforo the house public lands committee this morning, comprises a section 144 miles in length, 47 miles of which have been completed. Tho grant was made May 4, 1870, and includes alternate sections on each sido of the road, running from Portland to Astoria, and from a suitable junction near Forest Grove to the Yam hill river, in the neighborhood of McMinnville. all in the stato of Oregon. Four bills have been introduced for for feiture of the grant. Auothor hearing will be given Mitchell Friday, after which action will be taken and the committee will proceed to consideration of tho Ore gon and California anJ tho Northern Pa cific grants. Death of John Hume. John Hume, father of lion. J. W. Hume, mayor of tho city, died at three o'clock yesterday morning. Deceased was born in Augusta, Maine, in 1832, where his early life was spent. When 2! years of age he came to this coast whither his brother, Win. Hume, now of Eagle Cliff, W. T., had preceded him. and en gaged in tho salmon business. The catching of salmon seems to have been peculiarly the business of the Hume family from time immemorial. The old records of tho town of Berwick-on-Tweed, Scotland, bear witness to the fact, and when Vm. Hume, the first of the family to seek his fortune in the New World, emi grated to America in 17C5, ho settled in Alaine. where he became well-known as the leading man in the salmon business of that province. His third son. John, the father of William, John, G. W. and Jos. Hume, also spent his life in the business, dying at Augusta, Me., fourteen vears ago. In 18 IS, Win. Hume, a boy of 18, started for tho new El Dorado, but upon reaching the Sacramento river found the salmon m its limpid depths moro attrac tive than the gulches that held tho gold. For many years the brothers were in the business in California, and in 1830 they came as pioneers in the catching of salmon in the Columbia. With that industry tho subject of this sketch was prominently identified. Few mon were better acquainted than ho with the salmon, their habits, etc, and during his long connection with the business ot the salmon fisheries ho was pecuniarily successful. Tho deceased through life was noted for his energy of purpose. When barely of ago he obtained a government contract to do some work that had long puzzled older heads than his, to clear tho bed ot the Kennebec and render that stream navigable. This he did bj' an ingenious arrangement of scows, lifting tho heavy boulders by the aid of tbe tido and depositing them along tho banks of the river. Tho funeral will take place from the residence of his son at nine o'clock to morrow morning. The Clara Parker will leave Wilson &, Fisher's dock at half-past nine for Clatsop cemetery where the remains will be interred. 'East Lnne."

As requested by you I havo examined tho laws touching the grant of lands to the Oregon Central Railroad Company to aid in tho construction of a railroad from a point at or near Forest Grove toAsto-i ria. and the claim of tho Northern Pa cific Railroad Company to the same lands. The following is the result of that examinatien: By the act of congress of July 2, 1SG1, j (13, statutes at large, 365) a grant of lands was made to tho Northern Pacific Railroad Company, to aid in the con struction of its railroad from a point on Lake Superior to somo point on Paget sound, with a branch by way of the val ley of the Columbia, to a point at or near Portland, in the State of Oregon. By a joint resolution of congress, ap proved May 31, 1870, (10. statutes 373) the Northern Pacific Railroad Company was authorized to locate and construct its main line of railroad to somo point on PugetHoand by way of the valley of the Columbia river, with the right to locato and construct its branches from some point on its main trunk lino across the Cascade mountains. The right of tho Northern Pacific Rail road Company to a grant of lands be tween Portland and Pugct sound, de pends on tho joint resolution of May 31,1870, and not under tho act of congress npproved Juiy 2, 1804. And that com pany filed its map of general route be tween Portland and Puget sound on the 13th day of August, 1870. And its right to lauds between those points commenced ut the time of definite location of the route, that is, on August 13, 1870. The Oregon Central Railroad Company claims under tho act of May 4, 1870. By the provisions of that" act a grant was made of each alternate section of the public lands, not mineral, excepting coal and iion lands designated by odd numbers, nearest to the said road, to the amount of ten such alternate sections per mile on each side of the said rail road, then in the process of construc tion, not otherwiso disposed of, or re served, or held by valid pre-emption or homestead right, at the timo of the passage of this act.' Therefore, at the date of the approval of the act of May 4, lfc7d, tho rigut of the Oregon Central Railroad Company attached to and be came subject to its operation upon the location of the line ot its railroad as re quired by that act. In regard to tho overlapping grants, therefore, the Oregon Central Railroad Company hpd a priority of right, and it was so decided in a controversy between the two companies by the commissioner of tho general land o'ffice, on the 1st dav of August, 187G. The Oregon Central Railroad Company constructed that portion of its road be tween Portland and St. Joseph (near Mc Minnville) -within the time specified in tho act in which it was required to com plete the same. And since that timo it has constructed another portion of its road between St. Joseph and Corvalhs. Between Forest Grove and Astoria no portion of the road has been construct ed, nor has any attempt been mado to do so. And although tne time has long since gono by within which that com pany was required to completo tho road; yet the law is, as declared by the Supreme Court of the United States, that tho Oregon Central Railroad Company has the privilege of still going on and con structing tho road, and if it does so, it will be entitled to tho grant if it be done before a forfeiture is declared by act of congress or bj judicial procedure. Tho grant to tho Oregon Central Rail road Company was upon condition that it should complete its railroad within a given time; and it is such a grant that only the United States can take advant cgj of the condition broken. A stranger cannot do so. Schulenberg vs. Harrims n, 21, Wallace 41; Van Wyck vs. Kuevels 10G, U. S. 3G1. Congress can at any timo after condi tion broken declare tho forfeiture, re sumo the grant, and restore tho lands granted between Forest Grove and Asto ria to the public domain. If by an act congress should do so, thoso lands would becomo subject to tho pre-emption and homestead laws. You ask this questien: If congress should resume tho right to the lauds granted to the Oregon Central Railroad Company lying between Forest Giove and Astoria, would the Northern Pacific Railroad Company then become entitled to the same by virtue of the grant made to it bv tho joint resolution approved May 31, 1870? This question I answer in the negative. Tho grant to the Northern Pacific Rail road Company was tho alternate sections designated by odd numbers "not other wise disposed of or reserved, etc" But these sections had already been disposed of by congress to the Oregon Central Railroad Company, and consequently were not embraced within tbe grant made by the joint resolution of May 31, 1870. Tho grant to the Northern Pacific Railropd Company was what is termed a grant in pnesenti a present grant not one to take effect in tho future. It can not, therefore, take effect upon any of the lands which had been previously granted to the Oregon Central Railroad Company on the 4th day of May, 1870, in case thoso lands should again become public lands of the United States. This point I consider is clearly settled by the decision of the United States Su preme Court in the case of Leavenworth etc., R.R. Co. vs. United States, 92. U. S. 733. In that case, it appears, the lands in controversy had been set apart by treaty for the use of an Indian tribo "so long as they might chooso to accept tho same." While occupied by tho Indians under tho treaty, a grant of lands was made by con gress to the Stato of Kansas to aid in the construction of a railroad which passed through tne Indian reservation. Subse quently congress mado compensation to the Indian tribe for their interest in the lands embraced within the reservation, and restored them to the public domain; whereupon tho railroad company made claim to the odd numbered sections with in tho limits of its grant; and in the case referred to it was decided that it was not entitled to them. I think the principles enunciated by the court in that case clearly sustain the proposition as I have stated it, that in case the grant to tho Oregon Central Railroad Company should be resumed bv the United States, the Northern Pacific Railroad Company will not be entitled to the same lands.
