P0RTLaNDERS III TROUBLE.

The Portland "Standard' of the
23d inst. has the following:
"Mr. H. Willard had conferenc ce
with some forty of the prominent t
business men of this city at the
rooms of the Merchants Protective
Union. The meeting was presided
over by Mayor d. P. Thompson.
The distinguished visitor was intro
duced by Mr.. Kenneth Macleay, and
in a speech of an hour and a halfs
duration, explained clearly and
plainly to his listeners his views and
intentions in regard 10 the all ab-
sorbing topic of transportation. His
remarks were to the effect that those
Portlanders who imagined that it
was his intention to make this city
the focus of the entire transporta-
ton system of the Northwest and
not to make connection with deep
water at the Sound and effect rail-
road connection with California.
were mistaken. 1t was not his in
tention to discriminate in favor of or
against any town, but as this matter
of transportation was purely a bust.
ness affair, it was his purpose so to
conduct it as to assure the best in
terests of the company and of the
producer, and if wheat could be
shipped cheaper from Kalama or the
Sound cheaper than from this place,
it would be done.
, 1881-10-28

most articles We manufacture, can
not but rebound to the benefit of the
interior merchant, because it gives
his customer, who is the producer,
larger income. The advance in
prices which we have had TO note of
late, not being the result OF specula-
ton by capitalists, but the result of
a healthy demand, is enriching the
whole country. After allowing for
all exceptional drawbacks, which
certain districts or branches Of bust
ness may be suffering from, it can
not be denied that the State, indeed,
the Coast, as whole, is unusually,
almost unprecedentedIy prosperous.
So prosperous that advances in the
value Of articles of food and con-
sumption seem 10 stimulate the de-
mand rather than decrease it,"
Speaking of groceries and provis
ions, it remarks that: Coffee is
quiet and dull, and the outlook, both
here, in New York and Rio Janeiro
promises no immediate reaction. On
the other hand sugar is very firm
here, especially the refined kinds,
and the ro6nnriaS ara haralu ahla IN
keep pace with the demand. Tea is
also dull, or at least there is but lit
tie demand.
"In provisions the whole line is
advanced, with the exception of beef,
which remains steady. There is
great demand for all descriptions of
provisions, which seems rather to in
crease rather than diminish with the
advance in price"
, 1881-10-28
VERY SIGNIFICANT.

Mr.. Willard in his speech in Port
land, a few days ago, gave utterance
to the following significant language
in reference to his future operations:
call the necessary purchases OF
rail, locomotives, rolling stock have
been made. will state in this con-
nection that we expect to load next
year between fifty and sixty ships in
New York and Philadelphia with rail
road material for the Oregon Rail =
way and Navigation Company and
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. These ships may come here
but they may also go to Tacoma.
The N. P. r. Company shipped a
cargo on the ship Dakota to Tacoma
at the rate of $3.50 per ton less than
the rate the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company had to pay in
sending railroad material to Portland.
When it comes to shipping $4,000,
60,0C0, 10000 and $4,000 tons, Of
course such difference is a very es.
sential item. And you would con
slider US very poor business managers
if we did not avail ourselves of the
difference by sending our ships to
Tacoma In preference to sending
them to Portland.

THREE HUNDRED TRIPs.-The Toronto
"Mail'' says: Capt. w. McMickan, OF
tile Bothnia, has Travelled 93G, 600 miles
on the Atlantic and never lost a man.
Such Il record rarely tails to the lot of a sail

On these trips he has attended altogether
to the welfare of more than GO, 900 passen-

OUs attention has been called to
the fact that "hog law" has been
passed for Clalam county. What
ever benefit is expected to be de-
rived from this law does not as yet
sppear. We have not seen the text
of the law, but presume it is intend
cd to prohibit the owners of bogs in
that county from allowing them to
run at large. From what We can
learn, of the sentiment of the people
affected by this measure, they are
nearly unanimous in opposition to
it. We do not believe they would
respect such law.

Hon. Wm. Window, Secretary Of
the U. S. Treasury, has been nomi-
mated by the republican caucus in
the Minnesota Legislature, for U. S.
Senator. Mr.. Window retires from
President Arthur's cabinet at his own
request, and feeling that he will pre-
fer his old seat in the senate to a
cabinet position under uncongenial
circumstances. He feels that he has
made no mistakes thus far, and his
successor, will have no obstacles TO
begin with. Stranger things have
happened than that we should have
"President Window" in this coun-
try some day, as he occupies posi-
ton in the front rank of American
statesmen, and his course in public
life has been one continuous stride
upward. He has no ''odious record"
to conceal, but is likely TO come to
the front as q compromise candidate
when the leading ones block each
others games. Mr.. Window is not
an aggressive politician, but very
careful one.

A BILL is before the Legislature to
change the existing law in regard to
insurance companies The old law
Is oppressive and rendered inopera-
tive by requiring a yearly license Of
$50 for each and every foreign cor
poratlon doing business as an insu
rance company in any county in the
Territory. Thus an agent doing bus
mess for three or four companies las
he has to do if he expects to do
much) must pay $50 license for each
of them. The law was passed in
1879, and we nave yet to learn of the
frst company paying lloense under
it. The proposed change requires
each insurance agent doing business
in the Territory to take out a license
in the county where he is located,
paying at the rate of $40 per year
therefor. He is then privileged to
do as much business as he pleases,
for as many companies as he chooses,
and in any county in the Territory.
It is thought that by this plan the
agents can afford to do business and
pay the license money, and that the
territorial treasury would be enriched
just so much by the change, as un-
der the existing law they cannot af-
ford to do it. The Bill should re-
ccive favorable consideration.

WELL SAID.

The following, from the "Courier"
of Olympia, in reference to a want
in our Criminal Code of laws, is GER
tainly very timely, especially while
there are such frequent acts Of vio-
lence and murder committed among
US:
"Washington Territory is a law
abiding place. Our laws are strin-
gent, officers faithful and public sem
timent and healthy in tone; but here,
as elsewhere, all over the nation,
the qnibbles and quirks of the law
yers defeat the ends of justice nine
times out Of ten. We are pro-
nounced in our opposition to mob
or lynch law. Where it is made to
do ojustice one, it is the engine Of op-
preston, of private malice and un
reasoning prejudice, dozen or score
Of times so, where the machinery OF
our courts is free to act let the gui!
ty one be punished lawfully as we'll
as justly; and it is to be hoped that
our law makers, now in session, will
put upon the statute book laws
framed to protect the people and not
to render easy the escape OF Grimm
ais from the punishment or their
mIsdeeds. Sweep away all the film.
sy technicalities that now ham
per and defeat the right, and above
all let men of intelligence and honor
sit on our iurles instead of the class
that SO often disgrace the court
room. 1t is high time that the fact
that 4 man being able to read the
newspapers and inform himself as to
current events, one capable of form
ing his own judgment on all sub
jects of ordinary interest, should no
longer disqualify him as a juror. AS
the laws are at present administered,
the better qualified man is to serve
on jury the less possibility is there
Of his being accepted"
