TIE CHINESE Law.

The Oregonia,a and Bee are great
y exercised, and evidently chagrined
at the decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of the city of Portland
vs.. Perry G. Baker. The defendant
in this case had contracted to improve
Tenth street, Portland, and employ
ed Chinese laborers. The city OF
Portland plaintiff brought an action
against Baker the defendant and
prayed an injunction to restrain him
from employing Chinese, which in
junction was made perpetual, in the
Circuit Court, and the case was APP
pealed to the Supreme Court. Now
tho facts are. the city of Portland
failed to make a case, and conse-
auently were beaten in the court of
last resort, and now are engaged in
eating suspicious against that court.
Tile only question involved in the
ease, was simply this: Had the
the city of Portland made a case in
its amended complaint which would
warrant a court in exercising its
equity powers in granting perpetual
Injunction. We think it had not.
The complaint contained no aIleea-
tion that the city had in any way
been damaged, or that it would be
damaged by reason of the work not
being properly done, simply this
bare allegation. "That by reason of
the employment of the Chinese la
borers, ehe city was and would he
greatly damaged and unless restrain.
ed, will suffer great and irreparable
injury" Which is entirely unsup,
ported by any statement OF facts.
upon which the court could be called
upon to- exercise its extraordinary
powers. Gentlemen, the fault is not
with the COURT; but with the case,
as it appeared upon the pleadings.
1t would be in good taste for you to
instruct cities attorney how to prepare
their cases, instead of trying to make
the Supreme Court responsible for
the failure of the case. Use little
more reason. and less abuse.

ENocH ARDEN OUTDoNE.-Enoch
Arden has been outdone in Council
Bluffs. Iowa. Some time prior to the
war young couple met,and loved.
After short courtship they were
married and lived happily together.
When the war broke cut the hus-
band shouldered a musket in defence
of his country Letters came regu.
larly for a time and then ceased.
Word was sent home that he had
been taken prisoner, and soon after
the dread news came that he was
dead. The news was considered so
authentic that the Governments al
lowed a pension to the widow and
her children. After time she lis
tened to the pleadings of another sal
tor and married him. The second
husband proved TO be a worthless
drunkard, and she got a divorce on
the ground Of intemperance. Not
content with her bad luck, she con.
cIuded to marry again, her third be-
ing even a worse failure than her sec
ond husband After the third had
abandoned his home the first unex-
pectedly turned up and resumed his
responsibilities. Daily, Batlzetia.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

DEAR GAZETTE: Three weeks ago
last Friday, accompanied by Mrs. c.,
we started for the Golden State in
quest of health. We sailed for San
Francisco from Portland, at A. NJ,
Saturday, on the A l iron steamship
Oregon, Capt. Conner, and f. III.
Reed, purser. Among the noble
commadores who command the fleets
of the Pacific, Capt. Conner, for skill
and prudence, heads the list-having
been in command of vessels between
San Francisco and Portland for the
past thirty years, without meeting
with an accident, we believe. Fol
| lowing in the wake of the great
storm, we had quite rough passage
many of the passengers experience
ing what is meant by sea-sickness.
Mrs. G. was among the number,
while the writer escaped, and enjoy
ed an excellent appetite. The officers
and employees of the Oregon were
all very kind and attentive to pas
sengers, but Mary" the steward
ness, who, like a ministering angel,
was here, there, and everywhere,
dispensing favors and cheering the
lady passengers with her smiles, de-
serves more than passing notice.
She is the right woman in the right
place.
Nothing of special interest occur
red during the trip. Arrived at San.

YAQulNA BAY.

out this heading from the paper, in
calm confidence, that no farther
effort is needed, that the struggle IS
over and the battle won. We know
that the people OF the valley counties
have done we'll with their signing OF
the memorial to Congress. We have
all confidence that Congress will IN
it's turn pay all due attention to the
PRAYER lately sent on. We believe
that our Senators and Representative
will continue to do their part in press
ing on the attention of their col
leagues this matter, SO closely identi-
fed with the interests of SO many OF
their constituents. Well, then? The
truth is, that we know this battle is
being fought against very heavy
odds. Our great enemies are ignor.
ance, envy, incredulity and indiffer.
ence. Much has been done to defeat
them, but the field is not yet won.
How many do we yet meet who
either never heard of Yaquina Bay,
or if they have heard of the place,
have some rival interest to serve,
some other axe to grind; or else they
doubt, courteously or rudely, accord
ing to their character, whether we
have there land-locked bay, deep
water channel full eight miles long,
an entrance, obstructed indeed by
that reef, hut offering now l2 feet OF
water at low tide, and nineteen feet
at high tide, and capable of unlimit-
ed Improvement. Or we come across
some Gallo who cares for none OF
these things, and contemptuously
drives us from the Judgment seat. II
we could but capture some of these
men and carry them down to that
high bill over Diamond Point, look.
ing ont across the Bay to sea, and
keep them there, even if the wind
did blow little, till they got to know
these outlines by heart, and traced
once for all that broad strip of calm
| blue water between the narrower
strips of foa,ning white, while the
great seas beat on that outside reef
in vain seeking an entrance into our
quiet harbor. If we could but i'm
press some of these doubters and
bear them out in that little schooner
we have heard of, and tie them
fast while they watched the leads
men sound across the bar If we
could take them to the Light House
Point when the Alexander Duncan
came boldly in, finding eighteen feet
of blue water, as Captain Carroll re-
cords of his last trip. Well, then
We should have these doubters, and
converted these Indifferent ones; this
we know. But, then? Then there
would be still two things to fight
ore to get Republican and Demo
cratic members of Congress to be-
lieve that the people of Oregon are
IN earnest in insisting on these great
natural advantages being developed
by national aid. The other, and pos
sibly the harder, to overcome the
dead weight of officialism, fearing to
undertake fresh work, content to go
on improving little here, patching
little there, in places which have
long since won such battle as we
are now engaged in.
II the valley means to succeed in
thus breaking its way through obsta-
cles to the open sea, let its voice be
ever heard, let Oregon's Representa-
tives be ever stirred up to work, let
no candidate have chance of success
unless he makes this cause his own.

SOME idea of the capacity of the
British Museum Library may be
gained frorn the statement that it
contains three miles of bookshclves
eight feet high, and taking them all
at the ordinary Syo. size, there are
twenty-five miles of shelves. The
dome of the reading room is the sec.
ond largest in the world, the diameter
of that of the Pantheon, Rome, ex-
eeeding it only two feet.
The national debt has been boiled
down to about 50, 100000. We

reason to congratulate ourselves on

easier to pay off the balance of the

by $1,000 0pee,0oo, the whole being

great to be overcome with any means now
available. 1t is not entirely certain which
side OF the river il best from here to the
Big Horn, but from there to Hnntley the
railroad, IL built up the valley at all, must
be built on the South side and on the Grow
reservation. For this purpose . right Of
way must be secured. and, Mess that can
be done, the only alternative will be to
leave the Yellowstone valley by the Big
Porcupine or Cheeseman's creek and run to
the great bend Of the Musselshell.
III the road can be built up the Yellow
stone, as now proposed it will be divis-
ion Of 325 miles in length, on which, every
day in the year, . locomotive can haul 81
loaded cars, as against 20 cars on the grades
which must prevail on some parts Of the

Death OF Ole Bull.

BERGEN, Norway, Aug. 1s.--ole Bull,
the violinist, is dead.
role Bornemann Bull expired in his ma
tive town where he first saw the light on
February 8, 1910. His early musical pro-
clivities were discouraged by his family,
who intended him for tho profession OF the
law. In 1899 he went TO Germany to study
music, but met with such frigid reception
that he again betook himself to the law.
These studies, however, were soon inter-
rupted by duel in which he MORALLY
wounded his adversary. From Germany
he went to Paris, where he was in such
poverty he attempted suicide. He had the
fortune, however, to attract the notice OF
q lady, whose dead son he resembled, and,
through her aid, he was enabled to appear
nm violinist. He subsequently travelled
professionally through many Of the Euro
pean kingdoms, and in 1888 returned to
Norway, having acquired fortune. Some
years later, in as, he made bis first visit to
the United States. Returning to Europe,
for several years he gave concerts in the
principal Continental cities, after which he
made campaign In Algiers against the
Kabyies. He again returned to Norway,
but soon came into collision with the au-
thorities on account Of certain dramas pro-
duced at his theatre in Bergen. Bis for
tune became dissipated in '52 through law
-
suits, and in that year he made another
visit to the United States. Two years later
he returned 10 Europe, where he remained
until 80, when for the third time he visited
this country, taking in San Francisco on
his tour. Since then Ole Bull has led . re-
tired life. He was popular violinist but
not great musician. A few weeks ago
Miss Emma Thursby sailed for Europe, in
tending, in company with Ole Bull, to give
q series Of concerts in Sweden. The plan,
however, was disarranged by the news Of
the illness of the violiuist 10 soon to DO
