BOARD OF EMMIGRATloS.
The general dissemination of inform
alton in regard to our Territory referred
so, can be attributed, in part, to the
Jealous and indefatigabie etfo is OF the
Board Of Emigration, and particularly,
OF its President. The small appropri.
alton placed at the disposal of the Board
by the Legislative Assembly was soon
exhausted by the publication aud crcu-
lation OF five. thousand pamphlets. This.
however, caused no relaxation of labor
BY means otpriva.e subscriptions secured
by the President of the Board ono
thousand maps of the Territory were Oh,
tained, and thirty thousand circulars
printed, which were sent to all parts of
the country. The correspondence Of the
President, embracing one tlousend four
hundred and six letters received and
answered, has extended into every State
and Territory. These services have been
performed gra,eitously and furnish
marked instance OF unselish devotion To
the interests ef the Territory by ons who
has no voice in the administration Of
our political affairs. A liberal appropri.
alton should be MADE to enable the
DuuEutV CUuCiUut lLS W0Tk.

report will be prepared and submitted
in time for legislative action thereon.
REVISION OF LAWS.
l again feel compelled to call atten.
tion to the great need of u Modification
OF the statutes. The laws now in force
are to I've fnund in the annual and bien-
niai enactments of the Legislative AS
semby, during the past fourteen years,
and are continued in ten vOumes of
statutes. Many of these are out of print,
and cannot be obtained by county and
other officers, who are there 10y unable
to discharge their duties legally and
correctly.
In addition to this, there has been
at various times so many amendments,
often embracing repeating provisions
that il is quite difficult to determine
what laws have or have no. been
repealed.

STATE GOvERNAtENT.
BY an 0ct Of the last Legislative AS
semhly 1t was provided that II PROPOSE
tlun TO form STATE tOnstit tinn and q
Sih,c Government should he submitted
to the legal voters ot the Territory at tue
last general election. At that election,
the proposition WIS submitted to the
people and eight ,levenths OF the entire
unmher ct votes east on the question,
which constituted n majority OF all the
votes cast at the election were IN favor of
= Smte Government. This affirmative
vote imposes tine dnty, under the law,
upon the present Legislative Assembly,
"to provide tor tie calling of conven.
ton to turn State Constitution and to
oall acts proper and necessary to give
effect to the popular will The time
when the election Tor members of the
Convention shall he called, the time
when the convention shall ASSEMBLE and
the number ri which the convention shall
be composed, are important questions,
and Will doubtless he fully and carefully
considered by you.
Congress has for several years past
evlnccd strong disposition to refuse
admission to a new State unless the pop
nation in such proposed State WAS equal
To the existing yati" ior member of the
House of Representatives OF the United
States. This feeling found expression in
the law OF February Q, 1879, which ex.
.pressly provided that no new State
should be admitted to the Union, with
out the necessary population to entitIe
IT 10 at least one Representative. That
law was repealcd--InadveItently, l pre-.
same--s'e wear after its adoption, by the
Revised Statutes Of the United States.
Nevertheless, the opinions of members
OF Congress have since undergone no
change. The fact that such a law was
adopted less than six years since, and
has not been directly repealed, should I've
taken into consideration in determining
the question of the probability of our
admission AZ State, until we shall have
the r"quls tc population prescribed by
law.
The movement for State government
VIII necessitate the expenditure of a
Ihrge amount Of money, and in the event
OF refusal Ot admission by Congress.
this expense will have to be borne by the
Territory, and will be an actual loss to
our people with no ACQUIRING benefits.
In view of this, and of the fact that our
population Mt present is less than one.
halt OF the existing ratio for Represent
atiye, 1t NAV be advisable not to choose
delegates to the proposed convention
before the next general election. The
convention coulh assemble in six months
thereafter, and the constitution which
might be adopted could he submitted to
the people, and ii ratified, could be pre-
sented at the first session of the FORTY
sixth Congress. At that time ou pop
uation will have largely increased and
VIII approximate much nearer the ratio
for member OF Congress than it now
does.

COLUMBIA RIVER PILOT COMMISSIONERS
| desire to call your attention to the
peculiar features of an act of the Legisla-
tive Assembly approved November 80,
1877, creating Il "Board Pilot Comms
siOners and Pilots on the Columbia river
Bar" The act designated the persons
who should constitute the Board They
were appointed for life, unless the law is
modified or repealed, and they were en-
powered to tlall vacancies occurring in
the Board They were not required to
make report ut any time, to the Lrgis-
htivc Assembly, to the Governor, o..
otherwise.
In response 10 a communication sant 10

me that NO pilots are now licensed, hence
