OPEN TIIK WILLAMETTE.
We prlut below the Senate Joint
Memorial, Introduced by Senator
Hlrsoh of Marion county. It is a
'eghlatlvo document of great lm
iwirtance just now beciuso the sul
Ject of opening the Willamette
river is receiving more attention
than ever before. Ttio Hlrsch mini
orlul was recently taken up by a
Lane couuty grange, adopted- and
aud recommended to the slate
srauge for its adoption. It passed
the senato almost unanimously, but
mot its death In the houco, where
It was referred to a corporation tool
and ho deliberately pocketed It.
'tarry to say, he was a Marlon
couuty man, too. He was rewarded
with a federal olllce at Portland
shortly after. The memorial re
ferred to was as follews:
Your memorialists the legislative
assembly of tho etute of Oregon re
spectfully represent That the Wil
lamette river in the state of Oregon
Is ouo of the most Important tribu
taries to tho Columbia, It drains tho
most fertile and populous region of
iheNorthwest, and is tho only nat
ural outlet for the immense products
of tho great valley of tho Willam
ette. That It Is navigable for light
draught steamboats more than 150
miles from Its mouth during the
winter and spring seasons, aud tim
ing such seasons furnishes oheap
and convenient transportation for
i ho teeming products of the fertile
and populous valley. But in sum
mer and autumn, when wool, fruit,
.rain, and other products should be
marketed, the' river is generally
available only for a short distance
above tho falls of tho Willamette.
That the obstructions (ohlelly sand
bars) to the navigation of this valua
ble highway can be easily removed
by drtdghij., pulling snags, etc., at a
cost of not more than $100,000.
That large auiouuts of money
have been heretofore appropriated
and expended upon tho portion of
said river Below tho falls, but the
A li WAI - at till fttt Alnh ilt A . 1 1
the general government.
With a view therefore of afford
ing the people above tho falls of the
illnmette the benefit of steamboat
competition with railroads travers
ing tho valley, aud a cheap aud
expeditious means of transporta
tion in all beusous of the year.
Your memorialists pray your hon
orable body to appropriate the said
sum of $100,000 to tie expended in
the removal of obstructions to navi
gation on said river above said falls,
and iu protecting the banks thereof,
where towns and cities aie located,
from washing away by tho action of
the winter freshets.

Ills remains were escorted to their

Prof. Arnold lived a quiet, simple,
mi.det, tt3cful life. He was with
tho college from Its beginning al
most. He grew with the Institution
and his gencroui heart and soul ex

Another can be found to take his
place, but hardly to till it as he did.

P. Waterbury, a wealthy farmer of
Pouud Ridge, Westchester county,
was' kidnapped by unknown men
Monday morning, while on his way
to school. On that day the boy
started for sohool at 8 o'clock in the
morning. As ho did not return at
the UBual hour In the afternoon his
mother felt anxious about him. In
tho cyonlug tho hoy being still
awav, tho father went In search of
him. Ho wont all around In the
neighborhood, but without suooeer.
On his return home be found his
uephow, Charles Waterbury, wgh
lng for him with a letter which the
nephew said had been given him by
a stranger. It reads as follews:
"Sir: Unless you are prepared to
deliver tho sum of ?0000 In cash as
a ransom to us, you will never see
your son again. Tho monoy to le
at Mlllor'a bridge, In front of Miller's
mill, ono mlloeoBt of Bradford court
houso, at midnight Tuesday."
Thoro was no signature to the
letter. Tho nephew said tholetUr
hud been given him by a rough
looking man whom ho met on the
road driving a amall wagon. To
more men or similar appearaure
were walking a short distance be
hind tho wagon. Tho nephew no
ticed an object strapped up lo a
blanket lying in the bottom or the
Wagon, but not knowing that his
cousin was missing at the time, be
said, wont In the direction of Baur
rord. Farmer Waterbury notified
the sheriff, aud he has takea -steps
to watch Miller's bridge. Mr, Water
bury also came to New York and

SMITH'S OPINION.
Wabhincjton, Feb. 4. Goldwla
Smith mado a few remarks at th
dlunor to Captain Schley, of the
Baltimore, Ho said be gladly took
advantage of the occasion to express
bis regret as au Englishman at the
repeated utterances or a portion of
tho British press respecting the
Chilian affair. Ho said b hoped
tho worst had come to tho United
States aud the beet stayed behind.
Speaking of criticisms on the presi
dent's message or tbo Chilian ques
tion, Smith aald to him It seemed
entirely temperate, dignified and
logically conclusive. Captain Schley
also epoke briefly. He said tb
steamer Baltimore always stood as
the representative or tho great power
under whoso Hag it ld. He re
ferred to the efllclency of the crew,
of the yesttel, and said that If the
circumstances durlug tho late Chil
ian affair required it, he taught tb
members of tho crew would have
acted in such a manner a to merit
tho approval of tho government.
"Tho cloud of war baa how blown
over," tho captain said, "but tbe
affair proved very suf fpwtlve ot U
fact that war was !ltle to eoeu
upon a nation at any thu." Ha
