The Secretary of "War reports that the total expenditures of the Govern ment on river and harbor improve ments from 1789 to 1882 were S105, 796,501. Most of this was expended after the year 1861, 11 years after the admisaion of California as a state. The -whole share of the Pacific coast is stated thus: For California $1,492,428 ForOregon G49,305 For "Washington Territory . . 5,500 Forldaho 10,000 Total for this coast 82,157,233 Against this Texas is set down for 32,166,134 and New York for S9,539, 974. The Columbia is one of the three great rivers of the United States. Kb waters drain a territory 200,000 square miles in area. It is 1500 miles long and navigable, with here and there a poatage, for 1000 miles. It is the great water-way of the American possessions on the Pacific. Its com merce is already extensive, and from the grand resources of Oregon, "Wash ington Territory and Idaho its future is simply incalculable. Yet the gov ernment grudgingly from year to year doles out a pitiful appropriation for the improvement of its navigation, as if it were not to be counted among our principal navigable streams and arteries of commerce. The Portland board of trade, through a special committee, is now asking congress for aid to purchase and keep in oper ation at least one steam dredger, to place jetties similar to those in the Mississippi below New Orleans, near the mouth or "bar" of the Columbia, to narrow and deepen the current of the stream and give a better and safer inlet and outlet for ships of great draught, and to remove three bars between Astoria and the mouth of the Willamette. Private and unaided enterprise has done considerable to improve this great river, but it cannot do all, nor should that be expected. The government should help liberally and we bespeak from congress a favorable hearing of the statements and requests which will bo or have been presented by the Portland Board of Trade. It is no argument against bettering the navigation of the Columbia to say that at some future time there may be one or more large commercial cit ies on Puget sound. Portland is now a city of much wealth, enterprise and trade and will continue to grow as the river navigation is improved. It is the entrepot for whatever is pro duced in all that part of Oregon west of the Cascade mountains, a re gion larger than Massachusetts, Con necticut, Bhode Island and New Hampshire, and possessing natural capabilities for expansion of the high est order. S. F. Chronicle. 'Who's Dat Knock in'?" "The game was in a little old log cabin, and there were three negroes playing poker. One of 'em was an old nigger preaoher and the other two was a Ku'kluxin' him and winning all his money as fast as they could. I watched the game awhile and was standing where I could see the old nigger preacher's hand. After four or five deals the old preacher got four aces dealt him before the draw. "He turned his head clear around and says her 'Who's dat knockin' on dat doT "There wasn't anybody knocking at the door, but you see the old preacher wanted to give the other tw j a chance to fix up a hand. They wasn't play ing straight flushes, so he turns clear around with his back to the table, and say he: 'Who's dat knockin' at dat do'? Is dat you, Mariah? All right. Pse comin' in a minit!' "One of the other fellows had two kings, and they gunned through the pack and got out the other two kings before the old preacher looked around to the table again. One of 'em bet a dollar. Then the old preacher went down in his pocket an' got out all the money he had, forty-seven dollars, and put it up. 'You fellers,' says he 'has been winnin' my money and youse can just as well have it all. Fse a raiBin' ye forty-six dollahs.' "The feller that had four kings borrowed all the money his partner had, and called the preacher's raise. The old preacher raked in the pot and got up, and says he, I knows dat was you knookin' at dat do', Mariah. Fse a omin'.' Then he went out" Washington Republican. Mexican Mathematics. I cau best illustrate theMexicau character by telling a story, -which is Touched for by a "well known Mexican railroad builder, "with which I will close this letter: A railroad was building in Chi huahua, and the contractor adver tised for a large number of railroad ties." A Mexican answered the adver tisement in person. "How many can you supply?" asked the contractor. "Excellenza can have so many as he wish," "with an expressive shrug of the shoulders. "Well, if we should want 500, what would they cost us?" After much figuring the Mexican replied that he could furnish them at fifty.cents, American money, each. "And suppose we should want 5,000 of them?" said the official. "Bolga me Dios !" cried the aston ished native; "that is a very immense number." And he figured, and con cluded he would have to charge sixty cents each. "Well sir, we want at least 500,000 ties," said the contractor, while a look of surprise and astonishment over spread the Mexican's face, and after more pantomimic calculations me native .solemnly announced that for "such an immense order, such an uu Jaeard of quantity, he would have to charge at least $2 apiece for the ties." 'Mexican Jitter in Chicago Times. Over one hundred people of Clack amas Co., Oregon, were cured by the great pain-conqueror, St. Jacobs OiL of all sorts of painful ailments, says the Portland Oregon, Telegram. The Numbers of the ''Nations" of Indian Territory. Situated between the provinces of Kansas and Texas is one of the most beautiful and fertile regions in Ameri ca. It is a land of forests and glades, of undulating prairies and valleys of transcendent loveliness. In fertility of soil, salubrity of climate, and ad vantages of natural irrigation by many streams, it is a land superior to I Kansas, and comparable to Missouri ' and Illinois. It is larger thau Illi- J nois, larger than Missouri, larger t than New England. There is no' more desirable portion of the conti- j nent for the abode of an American i population; there is no other unset-1 tied territory that is half so desirable. It is a part of this American land; J and yet, by the power of their gov- j eminent, American citizens are rigor ously excluded from it. ! By treaties made with some for- j eign "nations,' known as tnos o; wundering barbarians, it has Uuou conbecrated to their exclusive pos session and oocupancv. The Chero kee "nation," of less 'than 20,000 in dividuals, occupies one corner; the Choctaw "nation," of 15,000 indivi duals, another; the Creek "nation," : of a like number, a central section, and the Chickasaw "nation," of G,U0u j individuals, a section south of that. , Bsides these the territory contains the following "nations:1" The Coman che, 2.S00 person; the Cheyenne, G, 400 persons; the Osage, 2,000 persens: i the Seminole, U,UUU persons; the ' Wichita 1,200; tho Pottawatomie, the Otoe, the Seneca the Ponca, the t Sauk, the Nez Perce, the Shawnee, , flin Afmlno tlm fHfsnrn tlio lln:m:iw I -.. .,UUb, --- """ y-- -"- ine jvaw, ana iiirt-u or iuur uuiii. numbering from 300 down to no more than fifty persons each. The aggregate population of all these "nations"' is i somewhat over seventy thousand per sons, and. as the area of that terri tory is over 70,(X0 square miles, it v ill be seen that the average density of population is one person to every square mile, or 640 acres of the bast land in America to every malo. fe male, adult and infantile of Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw.

Oregonian. Mr. George has introduced a bill to allow the city of Portland to levy and collect tonuage taxes for the improve ment of the entrance to tho Columbia river and of the river channels be tween Portland and the ocean. "We seriously doubt the propriety of the measure. To tax commerce would! simply be to make this an expensive port and in increased charter rates we should have to pay tho tax back again. It would give us a bad name, and would do us no good. There are natural obstacles enough in the way of commerce in the Columbia river, and we should not seek to establish artificial ones. Oregonian.
