THE EREAKWATEE AGAIN.

The Coos Bay Ts,cs goes for our top
hair because we ignored the claims of
Coos Bay in our article of the 2lst ult.
in relation to the proposed break-water.
We cheerfully admit the superiority of
that port over Oxford for the purpose
mentioned, but the enormous cost of
such a structure at Coos Bay, when
compared to Cape Foulweather, added
to the fact that it was situated too far
south tc be of much advantage to the
commerce of the Northern Pacific. rem
dered it toour mind improbable that the
authorities having the project under
control would seriously consider the
claims Of Coos Bay. We admit that
Coos Bay connected and vastly i'm
proved as it will be by q railroad, is no
mean rival Of any other seacoast point
for commercial Importance, but the
oeagerness ofsthe appropriation for
breakwater precludes the possibility of
that section successfully competing for
the present scheme.
We wish our Coos Bay neighbors, as
well as those of all other sections Of
the State, prosperity and the most
rapid advancement In all material mat
ters pertaining to their welfare, but we
do insist that the people of the Central
Willamette valley-the great gain pro-
ducing section of Oregon-sbould have
equal opportunities for getting her pro-
ducts to sea without paying such heavy
tribute to Portland and the great mo-
nOpoly Of the Columbia River Bar.
Bro. siglin, give the Willamette
folks chance.

az AND D0ISG.

We have received a copy of long
list Of resolutions adopted at "A meeting
Of the citizens Of Corvallis in favor Of
the establishment of a Brcakwater at
Cape Foulwcather The people of
our neighboring county Of Benton are
absolutely "afire" on this, to them, vital
subject, anF they are evidently deter
mined not to be intimidated or bull
dozed by that ofBcious and meddle-
some high joint, yeiept Portland Board
Of Trade. The resolutions bear the
"ear-marks' Of that able and gifted
friend of the people, Hon. john
Burnett, and so right to the point on
the question at issue.
We are heart and hand with our
friends over the way on this subjsct,
and desire them to understand that We
have enlisted for the war.
The proceedings published elsewhere
will show how Albany and Linn couu.
ty feel about tho matter, and early
subsequent action will show what we
are willing to do in order to accomplish
the grand result.
We hope TO see our Court House
crowded next Monday night by peo-
pie from all parts Of the county, and
VIC will make the selfish cormorants
of the metropolis feel the power of
"Old Linn" in this contest.

GENERAL JOSEPH LANE AGAIN TO THE
FRONT.

We take the following from the
Roseburg Star OF last Saturday
"Brig. Gen. Thos. G. Reaula, lst
Brigade of Oregon Militia, has au.
thorized the formation of company in
this city, and tho gallant old vetran
Gen. Lane, Mt his request has called a
meeting to be held at the Court House,
on Friday the 4tb of April ut o'clocl,
p. m, for the purpose Of organizing the
same. The defense OF the State is en-
trusted to the citizen soldiers, and it il
a disgrace to Southern Oregon that not
single company has been organized
within her borders. In tho early days
of the Indian wars, every man was a
soldier we'll armed and equipped and
ready ut u moments notice to mount
his horse and proceed TO the appointed
rendezvous. As tho country became
more populouls and business increased,
this order has been changed A sud.
den call FOR troops from the Govern
ment could not be filed as in tho pio-
neer times, hy hardy mountaineers or
experienced troops. Hence the nee
essity for the organization of tho mill
tia, which will furnish n sufficient mum
Der of well,drilled soldiers ready to de-
fend the honor of the State in any em-
ergency."

orr srNArons AT WORK.

Senator Slater introduced on the
25th ult., a bin directing the Secretary
of the interior to negotiate with the
UmatillO, Warm Spring, klamath and
Silctz reservation Indians for their re-
moval to some other lands outside of
of the boundaries of Oregon; provided
that Immediately upon their removal
all lands now occupied by them shall
be opened for settlement and purchase
under the general land laws. 1t is
provided, that any Indian desiring to
abandon his tribal relations shall then
be entitled to select and obtain title
to 100 acres under the homestead or
presumption law,
Senator Grover on the 25th intro
duced his bill of the last session to re-
imburse the State of Oregon for expon-
ditures during the Modoc war. Mr..
Grover hopes to push this important
measure to successful issue during
the present session.
We are pleased to DO able to noto
also that Senator Grover introduced
last Monday, u bill to extend the time
for the completion of the Northern
Pacific Il. Il. on the following condi.
tons:
First, that tho company shall within ono
year from the enactmont OF this bill com-
monco work on the main line at or near
Umatilla, Oregon, and complete not less
than 25 miles of its road sastwardly every
year thereafter, and shall construct total
ofat least 100 miles of main line within two
years from the same date, and not laas than
100 miles of main limo each year there
after, including tho Is miles per annum
expressly designated.
Second, the main line between Portland
and Umatilla shall b0 constructed on tho
south side of the Columbia.
Third. that with tho exception of lands
heretofore earned by tho company all agri-
cultural lands within its grant shall be
opon to purchase from tho company by
actual settlers In tracts OF 100 acres each
at the price of two dollars and fifty cents
per acre. EXtonuou OF tho time and con-
tinuance of all former rights aud franchises
are also made conditional upon require
ments that tho company shall complete
the road around the Cascades OF the Co

CHINESE INDEPENDENCE.

Having read, perhaps, some of the
complimentary notices showered upon
them by the press and pulpit of the
eastern states, and having been filed
by the same means with contempt for
the "hoSdlum whites of the Pacific
States, the Chinese of Virginia City,
Nevada, proceeded a vew days ago to
take the law into their own hands 1t is
the custom Of the Chinese in this
country to buy aud sell their females in
the manner in which all other chattles
are bought and sold, and a nv interfer-
ence by the authorities with their trade
in women is bitterly re sented. A
Chinese woman in Virginia G City it seems,
accepted an offer of marriA age from a
Chinamsn, but was sbdu cted by her
owner and taken back to Chinatown.
She appealed to the police, and when
officers were sent down to rescue her
they were fred upon by the Chinese
residents of the neighborhood, who re.
sented this attack upon the rights of
property as they are understood in
China. The police were able to get
possession of the woman only after
they had dispersed the Chinese with
their revolvers. The couple were mar
ried, but will not stir out of the iail
for fear Of being murdered by their
countrymen. The bridegroom will
eventually be made to repent his bold
ness, no doubt, for the secret tribunal
of the Chinese. which condemns men
to death irrespective of the courts or
laws of the United States, is inescape-
BILE. It's emissaries will follow him to
the ends of the earth and kill him at
last.
In this connection it is pleasing to
note that there is a. least enc infuen-
tial Eastern Journal that takes the right
views Of this matter. The Cincinnati
Eaq''irsr, commenting upon the Vir-
ginia Cisy outrage, ,pertinently observes:
"And yet the secret and murderous
Chinese tribunal is an institution which
the heathen-worshippers of the Atlantic
seaboard ara anxious to consolidate and
perpetuate in our midst"

THOrsAXDs COMING.

Upwards of thousand immigrants
arrived at Portland by the two last
steamers on the lst inst, and the npst
of them are branching out through the
State in search of homes and employ
ment. This is but meagre vanguard
OF an immense influx of population to
Oregon during the current year, and
our people should see to it that the ut
most cordiality should attend their
greeting and the fullest assistance of

to secure a foothold among us.
