Next we were directed to an opium den.

We were now taken through a long narrow underground tunnel, into a small dark filthy room lighted only day or night by the flickering glimmer of a candle, where resided a one-armed Chinaman, the only one-armed China man in San Francisco, as it is the cus tom of the Chinese to put a member of their tribe to death when they become maimed by the loss of a limb. We also visited what is known as the happy family, which consisted of an aged Chinaman and Chinawoman (the wom an being blind from childhood) and about fifty cats. From the cats they derive the name of the happy family. It is a common thing to find six or eight Chinamen, some hens an«! per haps a pig or a calf, or whatever quad rupeds they may chance to possess, all living in one small room. Chinatown is located in the northwest portion of San Francisco and occupies about one square mile of the city.

I secured $17,000 for Tillamook bay improvement and $6,000 for im provement of navigation of the Nestucca river. I also had provided in the bill authority to the secretary of war for ex amination of the bar of Tillamook bay, with a view to its improvement by jetty or otherwise. As to the Nehalem river I secured $10,000 four years ago, but the engineers declined Io expend the sum on the ground that the amount was in adequate for so large an estimate and project and I therefore concluded that it were better to have the project modified so as to Sturt with one jetty wall instead of two, and by thus reducing the pro ject reduce the aggregate cost, so with about $20,000 to be secure<l in the next congress the work can be comment ed, I therefore have provided for a new or modified project.
