As Americans we have enough to do
to attend to our own affairs and not pre
tend to meddle in the political contests
which are now agitating European mon
archies. 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.
