Our own people have burdens to bear which need immediate remedy, and to accomplish which will require our united energies. The opening of the Columbia river is of greater importance to the people of Eastern Oregon, says the Times-Mountainecr, than a change of government in Italy, Germany, Rus sia, Bulgaria Greeco or England, and to that end we should use every effort. Our grain shippers and producers have to suffer under a burden of heavy and unjust tariffs which aro more detriment al to our industrial development than all things else, and as patriots—as citizens of the greatest republic which has ever existed, we should use every effort to free our producers from unjust discrimi nations, which aro impoverishing our peoplo and placing them on a level with European paupers and serfs. The most gigantic frauds of tho century have been perpetrated in America upon a free peo ple by monoplies, and it is a burning and lasting shame that every ¡»etition for redress to a national legislature—the members of which have been elected by our suffrages—is met with dilatory ac tion or treated with such indifference that amounts to the most contemptuous scorn. For years the peoplo of Eastern Oregon and Washington have been han dicapped by wagon road and railroad grants, and tho future bears as gloomy an aspect as tho past. Is there no re lief from tho control of monopolists, or must tho settlers of this fertilo section patiently bear the burden and pass un der the yoke like tho conquered slave? The state legislature at its last session appropriated $250 toward erecting a monument to the memory of Senator J. W. Nesmith, whose death occurred a year ago. A number of citizens of l’olk county have organized themselves into a committee and are soliciting funds to be added to the state’s money so that the monument erected will be worthy of tho man whose memory it is to com memorate. Nesmith is buried near Dixie, l’olk county, in a beautiful spot in a grove of fir trees, on the south bank of tho llickreal, which overlooks a fine stretch of country. Ilia body lies with in one hundred yards of tho place where ho was married to Miss Pauline Goff, in 1847, and the grave is unmarked by any stone. Nesmith selected this resting place years ago, and often when he was entertaining visitors at his home ho would becotno serious and tell them of tho future solemn use of the beautiful spot.—Salem Talk. In the east an organization called the " Law and Order League” now steps to the front with a membership of 17,(XX). Included in tho membership, it is said, there are many tailoring men, engineers, eonductors and Knights of Labor, who express firm allegiance to the league in preference to any other order. Its prin cipal object is to prevent labor disturb ances and discontinue strikes. The tat ter come in for particular condemnation, a committee of the league being appoint ed to investigate all boycotts, and where employers are found to be unjust, to let them alone, but where an employer has given no cause for such extreme meas ures, then to go to his assistance San Francisco, July, 1.—Matters at the railroad front on the California and Oregon wear a promising aspect, ami there is little doubt that rail connection between this city and Portland will be an established fact before the close of another year. According to latest re ports the advance guard of the right of way men have completed their labors in Northern Shasta county, and have passed into Siskiyou. The ¡wit-hole men are near Bailey’s, and several gangs of graders are close tiehind them. The culvert builders are at Big Castle creek only a few miles from the northern boundry of Shasta county. The bridge at the tenth crossing of the Sacramen to is completed, and the track has been laid to the eleventh. The main force of bridge builders is now at work at the twelfth and thirteenth crossings. A depot is about to be erected at Hazel creek. The California & Oregon stage company has moved its southern termin us from Slate creek to Gibson, to which point through passengers and freight trains are now running. It is expected that October 1 will find the track com pleted to Lower Soda Springs, as the company is increasing its force daily. The engineer corps is now at tho Upper Soda Springs. It is thought that two tunnels will be necessary between Strawberry valley and Big Shasta. The engineers are having trouble in finding a practicable route through the valley. Land speculators and tourists are flock ing to the newly developed region in great numbers. It is not definitely known what action the Oregon & California railroad Co. will take with regard to the proposition to extend its line south from Ashland, Or., to connection with the California & Oregon. The condition of affairs of the Oregon road is such that further con struction is hardly deemed advisable, although stockholders are anxious to see the original project of completing the road to the state line fully carried out. There is»a fair promise that before the end of the year the stage road milage between the terminus of the two roads will be reduced to 80 miles. It is now about 110. The people of Yreka have not given up their hopes of rail connection through the medium of the California & Oregon, but the engineers of the Southern Pa cific company say that the steep ap proaches to the town will hardly permit the construction of the line to that point. The Herald—The “Little Joker Mr. Randall’s tariff bill is just what we supposed it would be. He proposes to sacrifice $20,000,000 of internal revenue from tobacco in order to render impract icable any genuine reduction of tariff duties on the necessaries of the people.
