LAND WEST OF e STREET.

The city Of Lewiston, by its corpor-
alton authorities, made entry of % great
er part Of section of land, part of
which was claimed by settlers, for town
purposes under the town site law of
Congress. They acquired their title.
The Legislature enacted law to gov.
ern the disposal Of this land to bona
fed claimants who had previously occu.
pied lots, and also for the disposal Of
all unclaimed land within the limits Of
the entry. The city authorised . sur.

claimed on the bench south of the town
and small strip vest of E street along
the margin Of Snake river. A former
city council, under what they then re-
garded as authority, disposed of this
land to sundry' citizens and executed
deeds for the same and received the
consideration for it and hquidated debt,

AN OPEN RIVER.

The Portland Standard in an article
ON the opening of the rivers to free
navigation, says
Even if the freight rates charged
threse people were reasonable, the fact
that the o. R. h N. Co. has the power
at any time Of increasing them, is suf-
ficient argument for the earnest demand
that tho Upper Columbia river be
opened to free navigation as soon as
possible. This question is of the most
vital importance to Oregon and tn
representative at Washington who does
not strain every endesvor to obtain
government aid to complete the locks
at the Cascades is traitor TO his trust.
1t is nonsense for people to look to
corporations for soul; they will be
lenient as long as it suits thtir interest
and no longer.
There are but few miles of OBJ
struction in the Columbia river, and
when these are removed steamboats,
will have from 800 to 500 miles more
in which to compete for freights, and
will thus liberate from thraldom the
farmers OF Northern. Idaho, Eastern
Washington. and Eastern Oregon.
Railroads are not enough, as has
been shown by the action Of the Mis-
sissippi valley delegation to Congress,
in demanding Government appropria-
tons for improvement Of that stream,
as q matter of right. No country
whose transportation is expensive cal
ever become rich. The carriers may
become millionaires--but at the ex
pense of the producers. We demand
open rivers, fair competition end the
destruction of all barriers to reachin:
market. Corporal ons which contro
toll gate, along our great rivers must
be thrust aside and taught the whole
some lesson that they are the servant
aud not the masters of the people.

of E street, where TIE present landing

of E street, where tAe present landing
of the o. r. Il N. Co. now is. The
council elect, as we arm, claim that
the former council transcribed their
authority in making these sales in the
manner they did, and question the title
given. We are not called upon here
to deny or endorse that claim. But as
a matter of fair dealing, before the
present council exercise any authority
over that property they should recall
the deeds which the former council is
sued, and refund the compensation
given for them. We think then they
will be in position to contest their
validity directly. We are informed
that they have demanded of the o. R.
T. N. Co. that they enter into lease
with the city for nominal sum, for
the ground that company uses in front
Of their wharf boat This ground is
embraced in deed granted by the city
to Mr.. Pearcy. 1t does not seem ad-
visable for the city to lease ground to
that company or to anyone else, which
is held adversely by deed from the city.
We think the water front should be
left open, except at such points as may
be necessary for the commerce of the
city, and these points should be under
the control Of the city to regulate
wharfage and other port charges. But
let the city first extinguish the titles
they have alr.ady given to citizens. To
us it does not seem good policy to lease
any Of this property and thus raise a
contest between those holding deeds
and those holding leases subsequently
given by the same authority. A de-
cision in such cases might be rendered
without involving the irregularity of
the deeds issued, but be rendered upon
the priority of claim in point of time
from the same municipal authority.
We want to see this matter adjusted
upon a proper basis and one that will
be permanent

taua Company's projected line of rail
road from Lewiston to the said crossing
Of the Big Hole river, will deviate from
an air line between the two points,
more than 80 miles. The length Of an
air line between the two points would
be about 2lO statute miles, and the
deviotions Of the Companys line viii!
not increase the distance more than so
or GO miles, even if it does that much,
SO that the whole length of their rail
road route BY way Of the Beall or Ska
ka-ho Pass OF the Bitter Rout from
Lewiston to the Utah Northern's cross
ing Of the Big Hole is less than 27O
miles. When this much is built then
it meets with an open navigable river
for steamboats, to the west bank of the
Columbia opposite the mouth Of the
Snake, a distance Of $50 miles farther
enroute to the Sound. The distance
across the Cascades to Tacoma via
Cowlitz's as measured by engineers
under Miner Roberts is 272 miles.
Thus with the construction of 542
miles Of railroad and the use of $50
miles of steam boat navigation on the
Snake between Lewiston, complete
connection can be made between the
Union Pacific, Utah Northern branch
and Puget Sound. The maximum
grade found in crossing the Bitter Root
range by this route is less than 60 feet
per mile, and the maximum grade
across the Cascades via. Cowlitz Pass
as reported by Robert>' survey, was
1856 feet which he thought could be
much reduced. Other passes than the
Cowlitz have since been examined,
which are lower and through them
from the Columbia to the Sound the
distance is much shorter. With means
and men this line can be completed
and in operation long before the North.
ern Pacific or the Oregon Pacific or any
other road can be completed across the
continent, and when completed it will
be the shortest transcontinental route
from the Atlantic 20 the Pacific, and
80 far as the Nor. is concerned it
will traverse the best of the great
wheat growing country. We hope the
negotiations now pending by the Idaho,
Clearwater and Montana Company
with Eastern capitalists will be success
full and that the building of this road
will commence III early spring 1t
would shake up the extortionists who
now rule as with a rod of iron and
make decent and liberal men of them.
