The WHARF.-THE wharf enterprise

The WHARF.-THE wharf enterprise
appears in statu quo. Aside from talk
and buster, nothing appears to have
been done. tits unfortunate for the peo-
pie that the Board of Trustees of the
town could have been induced to &C.
cspt positions on the board of Directors
of the Homestead Associations. for it is
extremely difficult to determine precisely
where their dual relations begin or end.
They will find in the course of time that
the people will hold them to rigid
accountability for their acts, and if they
jeopardize the public interest by any
scheme having for its object merely
personal gain, they must suffer the
blame which attaches to violated trust.
The Homestead Association has no
cause for complaint against any of our
citizens. Minor details have been been
ignored and concessions made for the
sake of harmony and as means Of secur-
ing the great public benefit which is held
SO temptingly in view. If they fail to
receive it in due time, we predict that
they will literally make "Rome howl
with their complaints.

We observe from the Portland papers
of Thursday that Mr.. Parkhurst has ar
rived at that place and entered at once
upon the duties of his mission. A cir
cular enclosed to Mrs. Stuart develops
the plan on which the colony is organ
lied. It appears that s25 shall consti-
tute membership with right to vote,
whether male or female, on all colony
questions submitted to members. Mem
bership is to continue during good be-
havior, except in cases of voluntary
withdrawal. All members shall receive
o certificate from the Corresponding
Secretary on the payment of their mem
bership fee, emitting them to town
lot in the colony town for each S25 they
pay into the colony funds previous to
settlement. The colony fund is to be
used, after paying expenses of organi-
cation, to purchase tract of land for
town site, which shall be improved
as far as thefund will permit, and made
as attractive as possible. To perpetu-
ate this fund, each alternate lot is re-
served and sold at its enhanced market
value. The officers of the colony are o
President, two Vice Presidents, two
Secretaries, Treasurer, and an Execu-
tive Committee, who shall transact all
the business of the colony. These Off
GERS are elected annually after the set
Element of the colony by vote of the
colonists. It is likewise provided that
the organization shall be incorporated
under the laws of the State or Territory
in which it shall make settlement. T.

The above epitome of the constitu-
ton of the Pacific Colony, exhibits its
plan and objects. 1t is evident that
the organization has .beea affected in
good faith, and that choice of location
will be made at an early day to enable
the colonists to reach their destination
as.I
the present season. If we expect to
avail ourselves Of this opportunity. for
securing desirable accession to our
population, some arrangement must be
made for extending the facilities oil
travel and means of information to
these gentlemen usually accorded to
representative men employs ed on similar
trusts. It is believed that our citizens
will not be less generous than those OF
Oregon, who receive emigrants with the
open hand of fellowship and aid them
not only in choosing a location but in
surrounding themselves with similar
comforts to those they have left in Their
old homes. i-.,s 81. aa.aa d slr ID

MAGNITUDE OF THE CoLUMBIA. The
Portland Bulletin of late date contains
this: People in other quarters Of the
country do not realize the tremendous
magnitude of the Columbia, nor have
they any tolerable idea Of the vast ter
ritory whence it gathersit mighty food.
In its course from the Rocky Mountains
it takes in the waters of the Spokane
and Kootnia; thence flowing west and
south. 10 receives the Okanagon, the
Snake, Walla-walls, Wenachee, Chelan,
Methon, Yakima, Palouse, Clearwater,
Umatilla, John Day, Des Chutes, the
Willamette, and several other lesser
streams. 1t drains region embracing
fourteen degrees of latitude--a mighty
empire Of territory capable of subsist-
ing twenty millions of people. The
magnitude of the Columbia may be
conceived of when We reflect that hav-
ing received the Willamette in his EN-.
brace, the exultant lord Of the waters
flows on with unrufiied equanimity, un.
conscious of any additional burden,
and apparently no larger than before.
And hither might come the river Of
Egypt from its cloudy springs, and the
Danube. and be likewise swallowed W
in this moving sea. r.
