JAKUAltY 29, 1850 Citj ami County Official Paper. RIVER CHANNELS. The Orcgonian states that an esti mate is to be made by the United States engineers of the quantities re quired to be removed to secure a chan nel in the Columbia to Portland, equal in depth to that expected over the Columbia bar, -which is 30 feet The Orcgonian, properly slates that secur ing a 30 foot channel or even a 23 foot channel, ma be a very different thing from securing a 20 foot channel. The variation of only two feel in depth of proposed improvement of the Miss issippi for a depth less than 15 feet, has been a matter or many millions of dollars iu the estimate of the United States engineers. The length of channel between Portland and the sea of less than 2o feet depth is nearly 18 miles, a vastly different thing from the shorter reaches of only 20 feet depth at the various distinct river bars. But after the engineers have ascer tained the amounts to bo removed, they have ascertained hardly a hun dredth part of the problem. As an eminent engineer lately stated in ref erence to eastern river improvements, if the question -were merely the re moval of so many yards of material, the problem ivould be simple com IKircd with what is encountered. In the river itself is a pow erful and constantly acting an tagonist which cannot be controlled and which is incessantly destroying what has been done by man. The amounts which have been found to be filled into dredged channels in a year by the currents above (hem have been from 59 io SO per cent of the amounts dredged. This is where the currents themselves have not been carrying much suspended material. The rate f refilling during the Columbia river Hoods will necessarily be greater lecause of the quantity of sand the river then carries. The U. S. engineers on the eastern improvements have been unfairly sub jected to much criticism because of their failure to furnish a permanent improvement after the expendituic of large sums by the government, and have, for thai reason, found many enemies among those whom they were doing all they could fo serve. It is belter io face the unfavorable prolKibililics at the start, than to raise false hoes and the bitter feelings consequent upon failure. LITTLE TO ADMIRE. Just now the count ry is ringing with plaudits over the girdling of the world by a Miss Nelly Bly, in some thing less than 73 days, and we are all called iiixin to hurrah for that lady. While gallantry impels us to hur rah for any and every lady on all occa sions. Tun AsToitiAX sees little io admire in this feat. All that she did was to catch the next train or steamer going her way, give a flunky halt a dollar to put her iwggage aboard and go on. Her way was bridged with the gold of her em ployers. Any one, of cither sex not wholly a luuatic, and over fourteen, could have done just the same. There is no courage, no sand, no endurance about it. One of the women of Astoria, who goes out to hold a claim for six dreary lnonths; or who works with or without a husband for a living, shows more pluck, more sand, more heroism in one hour than this pampered traveler in gilded cars and steamers during her 73 day's jaunt around the globe. Neiie Bly has won a world wide reputation. Her name has been in everybody's mouth during her circuit of the globe. Now some enterprising manager should engage her to lecture, or become a star member of a theatri cal troupe. New songs should bo written describing 'My Nellie, Nellie Bly.' In fact the country will be sadly disapoiutcd it she doesn't write a book entitled "Around the World in 73 Days." Jules Yerne would be no where iu comparison. Tun officials of the Northern Pa cific railroad say that the travel to the northwest promises to reach great proixirtions in the spring. This is a good sign, but coming via that road most of the immigration will go to Washington. Oregon deserves these new settlers as much as her sister state. Her resources arc as great, and her climate :is attractive. Every ef fort possible should be made to draw the incoming capitalists, farmers, and general laborers to our state. Meanwhile the Mail Doesn't Come. San Fkakcisoo, Jan. 27. The steamship Santa Rosa sailed this jamming for Portland, without carry ing the United States mail for the north, winch had accumulated here in great volume owing to the complete railroad blockade. It appears that the steamer Columbia, which sailed for Portland last week, charged the United States government $1 per mail bag, bnt the- government only offered 59 cents cr bag for mail to go by the Santa Rosa, which the steamship cowpany refuses. Tho company cites that the British government pays this Aerican line 1 per mail bag for car rying mails from this port to Victoria, aid that when the homo government cat the rate to 50 cents they declined. Two weeks' mail for the north remains here. Tliere was some talk of sending the Portland mail by the revenue cutter IZkhard Rush, but for coal and pilot age over tho Coluinbia'river bar the expenses of the Hush would bo 200 More than the steamship offered to owtv the mail for. Tho railroad com ay is paid S,700 a month for carry m the mail from San Francisco to fnrttand, while the steamer price is HEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. As Filed In The County YeMerds D. H.

Etc Yesterday morning about 8:30 there was a big excitement in the street be tween the Columbia and I. X. L. can neries. John Murphy was helping 3Gke Tavis carl salmon to the TJ. P. dock. He was driving his team with a load of a hundred cases when sud denly the whole street under his dray and "horses gave away. Down went jMcGinty; that is they all went, driver, team, ixixes, and slrcct. J t was ncarlx thirty feet io the water. Murphy was not hurl, but both of his horses were considerably bruised. One of them hung on the stringers and was got out all right. The other went down and was in the water an hour and a half, with only his head slicking out. AVhen he was finally loosed, the poor beast was so frightened that he swam out into the river and back twice before they could catch him in boats. He was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up when he w;is out of the water. The animal was bled at the nose, and Murphy doubts it he will again be good for much. When the accident happened there was only a small boy near who turned and ran in fright. It was full- fifteen minutes before any aid came, but a big crowd then gathered and heljed Murphy out of his difliculty. He remarked to the reporter that he guessed he was born to Ixj hanged because he had gone through many tin accident and come out all right. The way to make mone. is to save it.

Mrs. "William Dunlap made her appearance last night at a late hour in the Villard house barroom in her night clothes pleading for protection from her hus band, Ym. Dunlap. Upon investiga tion it was discovered that husband and wife had been enjoying a family jar, when "William grabbed a butcher knife .-ind chased her into Ihe street That is the slory she tells, but Dunlap claims that he used no such weapon. They have had similar trouble before. Last July at llwaco bench he tired several shots at liis wife and a man named Gay, whilo they were walking with a party of people along the bench. Dunlap was arraigned in Justice Garrett's court this morning, and held under bonds for tho action or the grand jury, now in session. Dunlap and wife came here about sis weeks ago from Astoria.

A lVppniptov Can Secure Hk Full Amount Iy a Second Entry. George Chandler, assistant secretary of the interior, lias given a ruling that Ijoiaesteailers who have preempted a smaller number of acres than they are allowed- under the law may make a second entry to complete the home stead, or laud adjoining, before he has acquired full title to the first tract The aiso comes from the land office of Vancouver, "Wash. The land com mission under the last administration cancelled the adjoining farm home stead entry of .T. Iu Cannon to laud in the SW1,' of the E.or sections, township 15, range 11, because he has one homestead entry to land adjoining. Mr. Chandler reverses this decision. He says it was the evident intention of congress that the "ownership" of the land should be vested in the entry man as soon as he has formally com plied willi the law's requirement. The 'ownership'' does not necessarily await the complete investment of title.
