A steady pour of warm rain all yester day and a south wind sent the torrents down the hillsides and cleared off the snow from the streets. Tho rain and wind wore uover more welcome. A. J. Meglor, of tho Occident, is the luckiest man in tho state when it comes to drawing anything in a raflle. He was one of four that threw 40 in a recent raf fle of a pair of 7." paintings, and then throw 43, winning the prize. Hon. F. C. Reed, state senator from Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook coun ties, goes to Salem next Thursday. He probably represents the largest constitu ency in tho state; three Inrgo counties, containing, at least, 10,000 psople. It looks ridiculous. "We should have two senators from this county and Columbia and Tillamook one each. There will be a meeting of tho city council to-morrow in accordance with section 85, chapter V, of tho city charter. Messrs. Bergman and Gratke, council-mcn-eloct from the First and Second wards respectively, will then take their seats, Messrs. Smith and Adler retiring. Tho mayor's message will be delivered and oommittecs app3inted for the year. Sho&lwater bay cranberries found ready salo hero this winter at 7i cents ler gallon. They are lighter in color, thinner skinned and smaller than the Minnesota cranberry, but of fine flavor. The ouly fault found with them was that there wasn't enough of them. Miu nesota and Wisconsin cranberries are selling at ninety cents a gallon, which indicates how much money is in the business of raising the home product. The recent storm will have tho effect of seridiug up the price of fresh meat all over tho nortuwost. The cistern Oregon stock men are severe sufferers and of course those who have cattle will now hold them at stiller prices. Seven cents was the prevailing price for beef on foot during tho early part of the winter, but already an advance is noted. Sheep seem to have fared oven worse thin beef cattle, and joints and roasts will command good prices during the first months of '8r. The city treasurer's report for 8T slows that on tho 1st of last January thcro was $y,r78.30 on hand; on tho 1st of January this year there is !),r3G.43. From the last amount is to be taken about $1,000 to pay outstanding warrants, so that there is really on hand about $3.r00. The sum of $14,332.75 has been received for taxes. There is a little matter of $G,000 or so delinquent taxes of '84 that if col lected would put tho city finances in pret ty good shape for 'SJi, though tho show ing is not a very bad one as it is. Late occurrences show the necessity of some summary and satisfactory way with dealing with quarrels on shipboard while ships are in the river. It is not right to tax the county with this kind of suits by bringing them in tho justice court. They should bo brought before a Tinted States marshal, or commissioner, or tho collector of the part, or somo one duly nuthoritized to take cognizance of the matter. Without more than allud ing to the doubtful question of state jur isdiction, it is evident that tho fashion of hauling a man up on some trumped up charge just be fore a ship is ready for sea, eta, i" no aid to justice to say the least, and manifestly useless under the present mode of procedure. The officers of the justice court do the best they can, but their best amounts to nothing after all, and tho re sult is in most cases a travesty of "jus tice." One of our needs is a different quaran tine ground and a hospital attached. The present law was passed in 18G3, when there were two steamers a month, and about twenty sailing vessels a year. Now tho requirements of the port demand a different condition of things. It should have nothing to do with the city but bo made purely a state mattor for state pro tection. Should a vessel infocted with disease como in now she would be quar antined at Ft. Stevens, directly in a line with constant travel. The quarantine grounds should be changed. The bay just east of Tongue point would be a good place. "Westerly winds prevail and what might be a source of infection to tho oity would not exist were the Quarantine crouuds or waters placed as dosienated. A hospital close by shouid also be there, tho whole thing to be in the hands of the state board of health. The whole slato is interested in this thing just as much as Astoria. MOKK ABOUT THE CLATSOP ItOAD. Astobia, Jan. 4th, 1835. Ed. Asteiuan: In a recent issue of your valuable pa per, correspondence was invited concern ing tho matter of building tha Clatsop road in the manner provided for by peti tions now being circulated. ''Taxpayer" and "Growlor" have availed themselves of the invitation, and both being oppoaed to the construction of the road I think it tirao to look after the other side of tho question a little. To begin with, "Taxpayer" says "tho petition ctlls for the building of tho bridge without even a limit as to cost," and that "ono says the pro posed bridge will cost $20,033; another says 50,003." Now such statements are calculated to convey the idea that the legal voters should have ascertained the cost of the road bafore sending the peti tions to the commissioners, and further that tho board are bound to make tho necessary tax levy to build the road, provided a majority of the voters peti tion them to do so. Really such is not the case at all. Chapter 8, title 1, re ferred to in the petition among other things says in effect that when a major ity of the legal votorsof the county shall petition the commissioners of such coun ty in favor of any proposition to aid in the construction or repair of such public works, then it shall bo lawful, and competent for the commissioners of such county to enact, order and levy an an nual tax for the purpose of aiding and constructing the public work petitioned for by such voters. It does not say the commissioners shall enact, order and levy an annual tax, but it shall be lawful and competent for them to do so. In other words it leaves the matter at the discretion of the board. It is hardly to be presumed that the men composing tho board of county commis sioners would levy a lax to pay for tho construction of such road immediately upon receipt of tho petition, without first getting an estimate of the cost of the same. Further on "Taxpayer'' says "Wo shall soon be compelled to provide this county with a safo and convenient court house?' He is mistaken. Our present court house is good enough to last the county for ton years longor at least in fact we will not much longer need any court house at all, unless our people wake up and show more spirit in the de velopment of their local advantages and resources. I think it would seem to the average man far more important to aid in such an enterprise as the Clatsop road, that would be of almost incalcula ble benefit to four-fifths of tho people of the county and work an injury to none, than to hivo the county build a new court house that would not increase the volume of the county's business one dollar, but would add greatly to its indebtedness. At a slight expense our present court house has been made neater and stronger than it has been for the hist eight years before to my certain knowledge. There would be no moro business to do in a new court house or in the county after ono was built than thcro would bo with out it, except, perhaps, auditing bills for defraying the expense of its construction. So I fail to see wherein it would bo "an investment for tho benefit of tho whole county," or wherein the building of tho Clatsop road would "enhance values of ono section to the detriment of another." if tho people of Clatsop plains had ac cess to the city by means of a good wagon road available at all seasons of tho 3'ear it takes no prophet to see that Astonaus would bo supplied with farm products fresh, and at a less co6t than they are now furnished, with comparatively stale prouuee lrom mu ouuifuuubcu murium, Farmers could then drive into town, sell their stook and return homo tho same day, and not bo subject to freights, delays caused by tide, etc., as now. Every $1,000 sent below for goods that could as well be purchased from our own farmers is a loss of $2,000 to our people "A dollar saved is two dollars made." Again, with such a road hundreds of people from Fortlaud and elsewhere would every sum mer season bring their horses and driving outnts to Astoria, mailing it meir neau quarters and purchase supplies and ac commodations here, whereas now they have to depend on the uncertain accom modations of others as to teams, trans portation, etc, as m tho past or go some where else for the season's enjoymont. Tho present state of things accounts largely for the great number of pleasure seekers who visited Tillamook, Yaquina, Ilwaco and other places during tho last season. Is it necessary to give "Taxpay er" and "Growler" an estimate of the loss resulting to this community during the year from tho lack of a good road to Clatsop plains? Would it astonish them if the amount in two or three years would equal the cost of construction of the road? What difference does it make if a tax is levied, if tho money is disbursed among our people and put in circulation immediately and for an enterprise that will bring increased business in its train? Is not four-fifths of tho assessed val ue of property in tho county located in Astoria and immediate vicinity and Clatsop plains? Are not uino-tenths of the business interests of tho couuty lo cated here? And would they not bo greatly benefited by this road? Is not tho primary object of all good govern ment held to be "greatest good to the greatest number?" It is true that many names appear on the petitions, of men who are not tax payers, and this is probably wrong in principle, but it is nevertheless right in law and a majority of tho legal voters could not bo obtained for anything if we would limit ourselves to tax-payers. Tho constitutional provision referred to by "Taxpayer" has nothing to do with the matter under discussion. It is not a proposition to issuo bonds or other evi dences of debt to raise necessary funds or to run tho couuty into debt therefor in jiiiv wav hut In lew Kuoli ji Inr no in tho opinion of tho Commissioners mav be necessary to build the whole or a part oi iuu ru;iU) jiuiiuuu luuy, uner giving the matter due consideration, and hav ing a careful estimate of its cost, consid er it advisable to build at all. I have endeavored to answer tho main Eoints of tho article quoted from, and I ave passed others, not because they are unanswerable, but because lack of spaca forbids at this time will probably give them and "Growlor" some attention in the future. A city without free outlet into the surrounding country is very much liko a man in a house that has neither doors nor windows ho may veg etate comfortably for awhile, but if he wants to turn an honest penny by strik ing a trado with his neighbor, there must be somo opening by which he and his neighbor can get together. There fore let Astoria have an opening the Clatsop road. Let us hear from our "neighbors." ASTOUIAK.

COXSKESSHAX UEOKGK I.NTERVIKWKD. Ill TImts on Legislation Concerning Oregon. Washtxoton, Jan. 2. In an interview to-night concerning Oregon matters Con gressman George said: "I hope the senato willtako speedy nctiou on tho Astoria forfeiture bill reported by Senator Slater. As it, however, does not go to the cxtremo length of the house forfeiture bill, it is questionable whether certain ultra- fash ionable houso membors will allow it to boconie a law. I trust, however, that tho conference commitleo will agree to it. The houso in conference might insist on the provisions of tho house bill, protect ing settlers and innocent purchasers in small tracts. as the bill is not complete in this respect. This could be done and not jeopardize the passage of tho bill. There is entirely too much of the policy of 'how not to do manifested on all sides of the senate in the passage of bills that all pro fess to favor, and in the house somouUra forfcitists, who arc loudest in talking about grasping these monopolies by the throat, take the most care, either through extreme measures, which they know can not pass, or carefully planned delaj that no final legislation bo had on any of the mumerous bills. Had those in charge of these measures separately reported bills forfeiting portions such as lie between Forest Grove and Astoria, and between Wallula and Portland, thoy would have becomo laws long ero this, and the re maining portions bo as far advanced towards forfeiture as they are to-day." "How about other legislation?" "Our river and harbor appropriations are progressing slowly. Yaquina lias so far only been allowed $40,000. This is entirely inadequate, and I hope to get tho committee to raise it. Early this session I introduced a bill appropriating $150,000 for Yaquina, $500,000 for tho Columbia, tho sanio amount for tho locks at tho Cascades, $150,000 for Coos bay, $00,000 for Coquilie, and $200,000 for tho Fort Orford harbor of refuge, and other amounts for various places, as recom mended by engineers. If possible 1 hopo to secure action in tho houso on tho bill to open tho Umatilla reserve. It will require unanimous consent, howover. To inquiries on tho Oregon senatorial election, and whether ho intonds to go to Oregon during tho session of the leg islature, ho said: "No, I shall try to attend to my duties here. Our legisla ture is Republican. It is composed of good men, and they thoroughly under stand their business and need no advice from me. Of course, should the honor be awarded mo, 1 would appreciate it greatly, but I shall bo satisfied with tho result in any event, as our legislators have very worthy and able men in Ore gon from which to make tho solection." The Winter of 1SC1-C2. The Victoria Colonist has this to say of that winter: ,The winter of 1SG1-2 was a memorable one on tho Paciffc coast. The quantity of snow that fell in Oregon, Washington territory and British Columbia was un precedented. Tho Columbia river was frozen for two mouths. The Frazer riv er was closed on tho Cth of January and remained so until the 10th of April, 1SU2. The snow was not off the trails and roads leading to tho then newly dis covered mines of Cariboo until June. There was good sleighing in and about Victoria for six weeks after a January snow storm which raged for twenty-eight hours and obliterated landmarks, streets and roads. Farming was then in its in fancy on the island, and nearly all tho stock fell victims to a scarcity of fodder. Cattle, horses and sheep suffered in liko proportion. Hay roso to $50 a ton and oats could not bo had at any price. California having suffered from floods, which swept away most of the granaries in tho Sacramento vallev and flooded Sacramento and many other towns ot note. AS in mo present yuar, iuu ww- tcrsot in early in December; a thaw took place about tho first of tho year, and on the 5th of January a hard frost be gan, tho effects of which .were over in March on tho island, but wero felt in the interior until Juno. Since 18G2 the Pacific coast winters have always been mild. The Value of a Do?. Everyone has heard of the man who sued a neighbor for killing his dog, and who when asked by tho justice what his dog was worth, replied, "Ho wasn't worth a cent, but I'll have tho full valuo of him." A recent case in Portland brings up tho question "what is a dog worth?" It appears that Thos. B. Honoyman bor rowed a dog from a friend at Cathlamct last summer and started on an cast side train to uo huntiug. Tho dog, which was "a valuable bear dog," was chained in the baggage car and tho baggage mas ter was paid four bits to take aire of tho v. b. d. Somo way the brute jumped out and hung at tho car door and after be ing rescued developed symptoms of teta nus and weut dead. Honoyman sued tho O. & C. R. R. Co. for $200, tho alleg ed value of tho dog, Tho joko of tho business is that the jury m Justice JJy bec's court gave him a verdict for the full amount, $200. The owner at Cath laraol shouRl now bring suit for $500 dainago to his feelings on learning of the death of the valuable bear dog loaned to his friend Honoyman. YesttrJaj's Weather. Not oven in tho memory of "tho oldest inhabitant" has snow disappeared as fast as it did yesterday. A warm rain set in Friday night and at daylight came a warmer wind from the south which by noon was blowing a gale. Tho snow and ico turned to water, and though the day was intensely disagreeable every one was glad to see tho snow go. Nothing was dono along the docks. The Kincardin shircnt anchor, below Trullinger'a mill dragged her anchors and hod a close call of it on tho shore. Two vessels started up stream, and tho Qaren. sailed for ban irancisco. The river is free of ico and is reported rising rapidly above. If this warm wind and rain extends any distance inland wo may expect to see houses and haystacks coming down stream about Tuesday. A Salem merchant advertises in tho Statesman that if any one who owes him money is unable to pay, bo will give them a receipt in full by calling at his place of business. Collections must bo dull in Salem. The News is making war on high rents in Portland. It rightly argues that pub lic interest demands a compromise with a view to what tenants can afford to pay rather than what landlords consider they should have.
