WE DON'T DOUBT IT.

The Walla Walla Union says the
San Francisco Post favors his division
of Oregon and Washington. We don't
doubt the fact that both Oregon and
California coast journals would favor
this scheme if they saw any chance for
success. These two States could con.
troll all the American shipping interests
of the Pacific coast. But how would
the people east of the Cascades like the
arrangement Where is the benefit
that We would derive to compensate for
our interest in ths control Of the ship
ping Of the Pacific coast. If the ex-
tortions which are now practical on the
Columbia river and at Portland, under
the authority of Oregon, should be per.
petuated on the Sound, ships would
be very few that would come for our
products, and then what would become
of Eastern Oregon and Washington
Territory.

ADMISSION OF WASHINGTON
Movements Of Brents and Ainue In
Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Bills of Pa.
cite coast interest were introduced
yesterday by the Territorial Delegates
as follows: Brents, for the admission
of Washington Territory as a State
into the Union; to create two new land
districts; to increase the mileage OF
jurors and witnesses in Territories; to
erect Custom House and bonded ware
houses at Port Town-end; to construct
. wagon road across the Cascade noun
tains from Renton to Ellensburg; vail
dating the acts of the Washington
Legislature concerning school lands; to
repeal the law which prohibits retired
army officers from holding civil Offices
in Territories; for the appointment of a
commission by the Secretary of the
Navy to select site on the Pacific
coast north of the Az parallel, for q
navy yard.
BY Brents and Ainslie, bills Great
ing q commission to ascertain aud re.
port the expenses incurred by Idaho
and Washington in suppressing Indian
hosti!ities in 1877 and 1878, and for
the relief of their citizens who served
in the Nez Perez and Bannack wars.
Whatever may be thought of Brents
position on the State Question, it seems
from the above dispatch that he is
moving for the States admission, and
the dispatches Of the proceedings in
tb House show that Dakota, New
Msxico and Washington by bills intro
dued are all seeking admission, it is
reasonable to suppose that Brents' bill
is aking for admission this session
witho't awaiting the calling of new
convention and the formation OF o new
Constitution to be voted upon by the
people. Mr.. Brents could not do 9TH
erwise without violating the expressed
will OF to, people OF Washington whom
he claims'o represent and we do not
believe tina he will fal'er in his efforts
to gain our admission at the present
session. We re sorry to fiud the Union

of Oregon and Washington. If thesp

the case would be oferent. But the

people of the State of Oagon and Wash

Facts being Developed.

The Oregonian of the 22d copies
from the New York III. Register a
lengthy article detailing the extortions
imposed upon shipping, which comes
into the mouth of the Columbia river
and up to Portland, by means of ex-
cessive pilotage, towage and port
charges upon vessels which visit ports
on The Columbia and Willamette. A
similar complaint has frequently been
made by shippers Of produce which has
gone from Eastern Washington and
Oregon and North Idaho. 1t is nc
wonder that the Portland men can
grow rich fast, while they can extort
not only upon the producers Of the
country but also upon the vessels
which visit that port. The article
closes as follows:
The Columbia river is not increasing
10 favor in shipping circles, and ths
great future expected for Portland viii
not be realized unless some heed i,
given to the many complaints and &
radical change is made in the custom.
