THE WHITCAMP MURDER CASE.

The circuit court was in session all day
yesterday engaged in the preliminary pro-
ceedingS in the Whitcamp murder trial
Only seven of the Jurors had been obtained
up to adjournment the evening before and
hence the first business of yesterday morn
lng's session was the selection of five more
Jurors. All the forenoon was
taken up in the examination OF
men and more had been subpoenead
at Hodges Park who were to be down on
the evening train, but at about 2 80 o'clock,
in the afternoon, the jury was full and
dispatch was sent to the country, informing
the agent there of this fact and asking that
no more recruits be sent down. The jury
Is now composed Of the following men:
Mathew Holmes, Sandusky; Jacob Chris
tian, Thcbes;J NJ. Edwards, Hodges Park;
VIM. Sandusky, Sandusky; John W. Mar
tin, Goose Island w. II. Gilmore, Cairo;
Emanuel Holmes, Hodges Park; Lewis
Leath, Monroe McCrite, Marion West,
Henry A. Nelson, James +, Chllders.
The last five were chosen yesterday.
They are not preposscssing men
that is, they are not what may be called
strikingIy handsome group-but yet,
when it is considered that under the eX.
listing law but few men of intelligence
could serve as jurors in case of this kind
and that intelligence and regularity Of
features do not always go together, they
will do very well. OF one thing there can
be no doubt, and that is, that they will
render verdict in accordance with the
dictates of their own conciences guided
only by the law, the evil
dcncc, the Judge and the lawyers.
Though their appearance as body Of men
be little uncouth, their honesty OF pur-
pose can not be questioned, and we believe
that Mrs Whitcamp will get as fair trial
and verdict as anybody ever got,
After the jury had been obtained Mr.. w.
c, MuIkcy proceeded to present his case to
ii for the prosecution and after that the
defense presented their side OF the case and
then the court adjourned until this morn.
Ing at nine o'clock, when the taking of
testimony will begin. The most i'm
portant witness for the pros
ecution is, Of course, George Khol,
Mrs. Whitcamps accomplice in the crime,
and who is now under life sentence for
his share in IT. but is here
on writ of habeas corpus TO
testify to her guilt. In conversation with
several parties he spoke with much bitter
ness of Mrs. Whitcamp who, he said, was
responsible for his present fate "She is
the snake that stung me- said he, "and
I'm gong to tell the truth about the
whole business In answer to the ques-
ton whether he would tell the same story
now that he told at his own
trial he replied in the affirmative.

The Upper Column bia.

Upon the Columbia river there are
], 100 miles of navigable waters, with
here and there an obstruction to navi-
CATION in the way of rapids and falls.
The portion of the river at present
navigated is about $50 miles, from the
mouth of Snake river to the ocean.
One company controls the navigation
of this great river, because it owns
the portages on each side at the two
distractions met with at this portion
of the river.
Will any one take the trouble to
picture to themselves what glorious
effect it would have on the great pro-
ducing regions of Eastern Oregon and
Washington if this river was open to
navigation and competition to all:
Instead of, as now, the farmer getting
just enough to pay him for his labor
in raising his produce and all the prof
it go to the great Monopoly Trans
portation Company. it would be the
reverse, and the farmers, the people
would reap the profit of their land
and labors, and the innumerable
Transportation Co.'s which would
spring up would be paid for their la
bors. Can any one doubt that this
latter is the just and equitable distri-
button? Competition in all things
brings all things to their correct lev
ell.
Will any one sit down calmly and
think what an insignificant sum the
amount required to place these OBJ
structions of the Cascades and the
Dalles in a navigable condition is, in
comparison to the benefit it will be to
the people when they are placed in
condition? The whole amount will
be paid back to the people within a
few years after they are thrown open
by the increased value of their pro-
duets, owing to the reduced rates of
freight. Nor is it any wonder that
this great Monopoly Transportation
Company should use every means in
its power to prevent this consumma-
ton or to get the work of improve
ment in its own hands and then own
the river as we'll as the portages.
The transcendental Importance of
water transportation is well shown in
every country by the great works
which have been undertaken and car
ried to completion in furthering it.,
and immense sums of money which
have been expended in improving
their system OF water transportation
already existing. Then let every
journal and every man in this great
Columbia river country who has at
heart the good Of the people take up
the strain and roll it along until It
shall reach thee of the government
at Washington, and cause sufficient
appropriation to be made to carry
these great works to completion. Let
it be so strong that it will Overwhelm
the undetermined workings of the great
Monopoly Transportation Company,
and silence clamorings of the newspa-
pers owned by it, in their effort to get
this great work stopped.

The extra session of the senate call
ed by President Arthur met at noon
Monday. The senate galleries were
crowded and throngs pressed for adj
mission long before the senate was
called to order by Senator Harris, of
Tennessee. The general expectation
was that something unusually inter-
esting would occur. Instead, how
ever, of witnessing partisan fight
the crowd listened to drcary argu-
ment on the legal status of the elect
ton of president pro TEN before adj
hitting the three new senators-elect
After some argument Senator Bayard,

speech at Seattle last Friday, in which
he stated that the Cascades branch of

cost nine or ten million dollars, and
that the Company could not imme-

= done as soon as the finances of the
Company would admit of the expendi-
ture.
