We were now taken through a long

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

about fifty cats. From the cats they

eight Chinamen, some hens an«! per

REGARDING HARBORS AND
LAND CON7ESTS.
E d . H kadi . ioht :—It may be of inter
est to your readers to know that the
river ami harbor bill which lias success
ful! passed the bouse, is now before the
senate. 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. You may al o state
