The Seattle Iteligencer hits the
nail on the head in the following:
The Oregon papers are all publishing,
and in come cases re-publishing, the
statement of the San Francisco Mer-
chant about a few hundred cases of Pu-
get Sound salmon being marked CO.
lumbia river, and they are justly and
fiercely indignant thereat. This is
very good and we are glad to see it,
and if the thing hadn't become so
common and stale by their general
publication of it, We should have
given ii space in our columns as well.
Yet these virtuous, honest, fair and
square Oregon papers haven't a word
to say in condemnation of the calling
of Puget Sound fir Oregon pine;
neither do they expostuate at the
calling Of Columbia river salmon Ore
gon salmon, nor Walla Walla wheat
Oregon wheat, nor of Puyallup hops
Oregon hops, nor of Olympia oysters
oregon oysters, and so on without
end. In fact, these papers not only
have nothing to say against these
things, but are the very ones to give
them publication. Everything pas
sengers ineludedl going over the CO.
lumbia river bar goes with them as
from Oregon or for Oregon. Our
neighbors of the Webfoot State will
do well, in this connection, to bear in
mind the rule of doing unto others as
they would themselves be done by.

The Seattle Post says: at is now
definitely reported at the headquar-
tiers of the Northern Pacific railroad
company at Tacoma, that the Green
river pass across the Cascade mount
aims, is entirely practicable; that the
approaches on either side are easy,
and that construction Of the road and
its maintenance will cost much less
than was anticipated. We hear that
Col. smith. engineer of the Pacific di-
vision, has officially reported these
facts to headquarters and it will un-
doubtedly result in orders TO COM
mence construction without delay.
Mr.. Anderson, the chief engineer of
the company is expected to arrive this

Senators Conklin and Pratt of New

Senators Conklin and Pratt of New
York, who have failed in their effort
to boss President Garfield and the u.
s. senate, on Monday resigned their
offices, much to the surprise of every
one. 1t is supposed that they will be
elected again by the New York legis-
lature, which they will take as an EN-
dorsement of their course. The peo-
pie at large Would be better pleased if
they were not reelected but con-
signed to private life, where all
"bosses" should go. The people and
the republican party are both getting
tired of "bOssism.' Concerning these
resignationsa New York dispatchkays:
''The metropolitan journals are en-
tirely given up this morning to the
Conkling and Pratt designations.
Press comments are published from
all parts of the country. 1t is gener-
ally believed by friends and foes alike,
that the senators have made mistake
and acted like school boys. The
Times says: In this city the most
common sentiment was Impotence
and disgust that the state should have
been made the laughing stock of the
country by a childish display of tenn
per on the part of its senators. Some
effect was anticipated on the sensitive
feelings of Wall street, but as prom
inent bank officer remarked, Conk-
ling's views and actions never had
much weight in financial circles"
The Olympia Iron Co. has been or
ganized and the charter is now ready
to be filed. The directors are: VIM.

Brown, A. Farquhar and S. w. Perez
val. The officers elected by the board
are: VIM. A. Newell, president; s.
w. Percival, vice president; A. Farqu-
har, treasurer. Mr.. Chambers and
Mr.. Farquhar, with others, few days
ago, went on prospecting expedition,
to places reported and satisfied them

Books for subscription to the stock of
the company will shortly be opened.
The Dalles MOuntdineer says that
the people of Washington Territory
have got a fine governor. He not only
performs his official duties in proper
manner, but talks, works and writes
in the interest of the Territory, with
more vim than half the newspapers.
He is just the kind of man our sister
commonwealth needs and the Pacific
north west could well afford to i'm
port a few thousand more just like
him, and pay their expenses on the
road.

The ridiculous alllterative head lining,

cowardly attack upon tho President

editorials for relief, and the keen wit of
its H0tfensteln article, and Flabber Gas.
ter papers cover little the disgust en-
gendered by the direction and point of
its Cocklebur Club proceedings, and yet
tho evenness of the game-of like and

from the st. LoniS Globe Democrat one
of the late editors of which probably

endorses the application of the detini-
ton;
"Confederate-By the common usage
OF our language this word is generally
employed in u bad sense. The Psalmist
speaks OF the foes of Jehovah as ICON
fedcrate against him. Shakespeare
speaks of "vile confederates, OF being
confederate with damned pack" the
beast Calihan and his "confederate.n
aud similar instances. Cowper speaks
OF "hellish foes confederate for hin

crate for M evil purpose. Seldom do
we hear the word used for good one,
The adoption Of this word by Southern
rebels during the war confirmed it's an
Gent and modern usage. They were

There are some billiards who pass
their lives as aliens among q people
whose under current of strong FEELING
they know nothing of. The assertion
may strike this class as strange that if
in the South there are few men who
are not proud that their grandfatbers
bought slaves from the ancestors of the
Gables of New England, there are none
ashamed that their progenitors were
rebels in 76 and that they were co-as-
sociated with rebel Confederates in ,6l
To the entire South the word "Coufed-
crate" is sacred one. Its colors are
red with the blood of our best and

TO BE DRAINED ATLAsT.
Goose Hollow aud Caffishtown.

We are happy to announce to the lon,
suffering residents of Goose Hollow ant
Cattishtown, that the Special Commit
tee Of the City Council, met on Monday
at the State House, at the Office Of X
II. Burke, Esq, and that they fnall,
adopted comprehensive and practica
plan to effectively drain the lower por
tioa of the city, work that has never
up to the last year or two received the
attention which tho necessities Of tbt
people demanded.
Tho idea is to construct o lasting and
substantial wooden fums or conduct that
will traverse the levee at the foot OF
South Boulevard, and extend to the
rivers edge, in order to prevent the
bank from washing. Canals of suf-
ficient capacity are to be dug which will
bring the flood water to this escape
which is to have width of some ~ feet
This system is to be operated during low
water.
When it is considered that it Is only
Oh exceptional years that the river rises
sufficiently to compel the closing of such
an outlet, it will readily be seen that q
great step towards the permanent relief
OF the section named is about to be
taken.
Inc amount necessary to accomplish
the work described is provided for in
the appropriations of the present year.
The Committee and the Council intend
to make assurance doubly sure, by max
ing provision in the Budget of lo82, to
purchase and erect first class draining
machine which will be operated when
extraordinary high water demands it's
employment.
The Committee have arrived at these
conclusions after mature deliberaton
and u critical examination of every idea
or plan that has been suggested
The Committee was led to its conelp-
slons by the fact that the drainage sys-
TEN would always be under the control
OF the city, as the entire work will lie
within her limits, No impeachment can
therefore be set mp by any owners or
lands situated below the city.
Besides, it is well known that all of
the great bulk of water which issues
from Goose Hollow and Catfshtown finds
it's way through the canal of the Week
plantation, to the Halls Bottom. where
1T constantly oyorhows and renders
impossible at times the Highland road,
one Of the most important approach
es to the city,
BY diyerting this flow of water to-
wards the Mississippi, 1t is reasonable to
suppose that the road above mentioned
VIII be put in position to be perma-
nently rendered safe for travel.
Messrs. X. II. Burke and Chas. Week
were appointed subcommittee To at
once purchase lumber and materials and
employ competent workmen to carry out
the detailed plans we have described.
