Payers Take Notice.

The County Court at its July Term
passed an order requiring I, A. Branscom,
late Revenue Collector to Justify his bond
for the years 1928, by the August term
Of the Court. A failure on the part of
an officer to Justify his bond when required
vacateS his Office. Having failed to com.
ply with the order of the Court. Mr..
Branscom ceased to be Collector, from
and after August 2nd 1873. There is
therefore no one in the County now
authorized to receipt for or receive taxes
due for the years 1928, ana parties
owing or holding tax money for those
years should continue to hold the same
until the County Court appoints a Col.
lector or Receiver for those years.

IRE o. 5. n. Co. have lately purchased
20 feet of deep water front in Astoria on
which to build wharves.-Poytia,ld Journal
We presume this movement of the O. S.
\. Company is in anticipation of the devei-
opment of the grain trade east of the NOUN
tains. As long as the shipments were limited
to few hundred tons per anunm, the system
of shipping grain up the Willamette and then
hghtering it down again. might have been
tolerated, but now that the shipments are es-
timated by thousands Of tons-to be increased
TO millions-this system becomes obsolete,
and the men who control the navigation of
the river wisely accommodate themselves to
to the changed condition of afflirs. Until
the Columbia is freed from distinctions, the
dependence of shippers must be on boats and
railroads to take grain 10 the Cascades, and
thence by means of barges it should be trans
ferred to the mouth of the River. This ar
rangement saves the freight up the William
cite River, the handling and wharfage at
Portland, all of which can be safely estimated
az amounting to at least ten cents on the
bushel-an unnecessary outlay and heavy
tax npon the producer. Direct transit is an
element that always enters into cheap freights,
and our producers will never have fan
chance in the competition for the grain trade
of the world until their products are laid
down at tide-water without deviating from
the shortest line aud with the least possible
handling
, 1875-12-11

LIGHT DRAFT BoATs.-The people living
in the Palouse and Crab Creek country must
depend upon the Snake River as the outlet
Tor their surplus products. This in point of
fact Is their only dependence; the idea of
teaming grain 20 Wslla Walla, and thence
shipping by railroads and steamboats, to tide.
water, being out of the question. With the
class Of boats that have heretofore run on the
Snake River, navigation is confined TO the
spring and summer months, leaving the
grain harvested one year 10 lay over until
the next This, of course, entails serious
hardship upon the farmers, who are eompell-
ed to hold their grain at time when the
necesrlfy for returns Is very great. 1t has
been owing to this fact that the settlement
of the country has been slow, and population
has remained ut standstiIl. 4 remedy for
this condition Of affairs Can readily be pro.
vided. In the early settlement of California.
boats We're bnilt to run upon he Feather
Hiver, tributary of the Sacramento, that
drew but SIX or eight inches of water, and
that were sand to be lifted over sand bars.
These boats rendered excellent service until
superseded by the railroads Now, we hold
that boats of this character can be built that
will readily navigate the Sunke River at all
Seasons of the year, and thus afford the pro-
ducers in the Palouse country an outlet for
their surplus grain. A boat of this charac-
ac.er can be built at cost not 10 exceed
$4,000, AMI this sum being within the
means of the settlers, they should at once
take measures for Its construction.

NEw STEAMERS.-We learn that the y.
S. \. Company are now having built at
Cello the hulIs of two new steamers that are
being especially built with view to the re-
ouirements of the grain trade. These boats
will be of greater length and breadth than
the hoats NOW on the river, and as conse-
ouence will draw less water. Ihe boats
originally placed upon the river were intend
ed for the spring and summer trade, at which
seasons there is an abundance OF wafer ana
os consequence necessity for light draft
boats. Now that the grain trade has as
snmed Importance, the heavy ireigh's are
toward the close of the season when low
water is the rule, and hence boats drawing
from twelve to twenty inches are required TO

An IMPORTANT DECISION has Just
been rendered by the Court of Ala
bama claims. The point which has
been determined involves a great
principle as well as large sums Of
money. When a vessel is unjustly
seized the freight charges for the voy-
age are as clearly a loss to the owners
where they are unable to collect them
in advance, or to the shippers, where
they were alread paid, as The vessel

cision which has just been rendered.

SELL Or FIGHr.-According to the
Madrid dispatches Of the London

likely. Cuba is too certain to fall in
to our lap when it is ripe enough for
annexation to make it necessary to buy
the island, and the American people
see no presen. necessity of fighting
for it. Hence it is likely that Spanish
fears are exaggerated.
