"WHERE ROLLS THE OREGON"
Mr.. StrahOrn's Latest Work on the
"New Northwest

bolse Democrat.1
Strahorn's latest is an exquisite
pamphlet of twenty pages entitled
Where Rolls the Oregon 1t is
devoted to outlining the climate, re-
sources and extent of the vast and
prolific region watered by the mighty
Columbia and its tributaries, which
sweep takes in Idaho, Washington,
Oregon, and a little pinch Of Mon
tana to add to it's spice. Climate,
agriculture, horticulture, ranch and
dairy, mineral belts, forests, scenery,
etc, are dished up in Strahorn's most
captivating style; yet formed on solid
facts drawn from statistics and ac-
tual observation. He is always in
teresting, but never more so than
when treating Of the Great North
west. One of the closing paragraphs
Of this valuable little work reads as
follows: THE Utah Il Northern
branch of the Union Pacific has
reached Butte City, Montana, giving
a Pullman Palace car route to the
Clark's Fork country, and is push
ing down the Deer Lodge Valley,
where it will soon combine with the
Northern Pacific for the develop
ment of all the country northwest to
the Columbia. The Oregon Short
Line branch of the Union Pacific is
pushing westward across Southern
Idaho, it's mission being to develop
the Lewis Fork. or Snake, country.
About 800 miles of this line is
graded; it will reach the Wood river
and Boise country this year, and in
1883 connect at or near Baker City.
Oregon, with the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company's line,
forming through broad rnage road
from the East to Walla Walla, Port
land and Puget Sound, and CONT
mental route 700 miles shorter to Asia
than our present one. Necessary
branch lines will be constructed up
many fertile valleys to the rich min
ing regions at their heads, and thus
within two years at furthest will the
land where rolls the Oregon be
marching with giant strides toward
a glorious future

his claim had not been fraudulent from the
beginning. For this bogus claim ne Is
said to have paid SLIGO. and now he de-
mands, and The committee want to
give him, property worth at the very
lowest estimate $4,000 600. 1t is really
all but incredible that Congressional
Committee should be found capable
of bolstering up this gigantic swim
die. Had any novelist introduced
such an episode into work of fiction 1T
would have been at once condemned as out
of nature. Bat here we have the sober
fact that number of the peoples repre-
sentatives have deliberately recommended
what can only be characterized as the
theft of $50, 600, 0o0 from the country. as
reward for the longest and most shameless
and corrupt lobbying on record. This
recommendation, too, is made in the teeth
of long line of Judicial decisions and Con-
gressional inquiries, all of which agree in
the fundamental facts of the dishonesty
and invalidity of the claim. So utterly IN
iquitous is the job, that if Congress should
grant McGarrahan his outrageous demand,
the affirmative vote on the proposition
must destroy the reputation of every mem.
Der SO voting, and put his corruptnezs be-
yond all further question. How, under
| the circumstances, even the least scrupu-
lous members can think it possible to sell
out without damning themselves beyond
redemption, is indeed the most perplexing
and extraordinary feature of this most dis
graceful and scandalous case.

FROM THE ORIENT.

By the arrival at San Francisco of the
steamer Belgic we have advices from Hong
kong to March llth, and Yokohama to
March 18th:
Ths Japan Gazette says that the "bal.
ance of trade" cry-that imports far ex-
coed exports-Eas died away, owing to the
changed position disclosed by the customs
returns. Formerly, when the mean an
nual excess Of imports was S., 900, 600, bust
ness was active and the people fairly pros
porous, when the limited extent Of the
trade is considered. During the last eigh-
teen months exports have approached i'm.
ports in value, the difference being a mere
trifle. The effect is that trade of all kinds
is greatly depressed money that is
specie-has almost disappeared from circu.
lation, and the appearances of brisk pros
perity have vanished. The japanese have
their DESIRE balance of exports in excess
of imports and yet the drain of specie is
as great now as when imports far exceeded
exports.
The Mike colliery in Kukuoka Ken is
said to prove SO largely productive that
tramway will be laid to the port of Suwa,
where a wharf will also be constructed, in
order that the direct export of the mineral
may be encouraged.
About month ago daring burglary at
Picking was attempted on the British Lega-
ton chest. The thieves were, however, not
successful in securing the coveted treasure.
The Boletin de Avisos hears that Chi
nese commercial company with capital of
$500 600 is to be established at Manila for
the purpose of purchasing, manufacturing
and selling tobacco.
The Ksiping mines, directly the canal is
complete, work of two or at most three
months more, will send to Tientsin $50
tons of fine coal daily.
A Manila paper states that the Governor
General OF the Philippines in January last
directed by decree that Cinnamon failing
to pay taxes specially levied on them at
Manila, shall be deported to China at the
expense of the Chinese community of that
city, and that the amounts due by them
shall be recovered from the latter.
Six of the palace thieves have already
been executed at Picking. Their names are
Yuen Tama, Yuen Li-erh, Wang.wu and
the eunuch Hsu Chih-hsiang. The others
in custody awaiting execution, probably
not before autumn, are Liu Mao-ern, Ta.hu
and Hoa hang-hsiang, the brazier who re-
ceived the stolen goods.

not a GOOD POINT.

A venal San Francisco paper is trying to
make it appear that the Central Pacific
Railroad Company is somehow peculiarly
open tot censure for employing Chinese la.
Dor. This is humbug. The simple truth
is and always has been that almost every
body in California employs Chinese labor,
and that everybody does so whenever any
thing can be made or saved by SO doing
The farmer, the viticulturist, the manu-
facturer, the merchant, the professional
man, the workingman, all employ Chinese
labor to the full extent of their needs or
convenience. 1t is therefore the most
naked demagogism to pretend that the
railroad company is amenable to adverse
criticism for doing precisely what all the
rest of the community has always done.

THE MoGARRAHAN CLAIM.

Congressman Pacheco deserves great
credit for the bold stand he has taken
in opposition to that stupendous fraud
known as the McGarrahan claim. By
VIVA. means McGarrahan succeeded in con.
vincing the majority of the House Com.
mittee on Private Claims that all the
Courts of the country for twenty years
past have been mistaken in regarding as
fraudulent that impudent imposture, is
as yet only conjecturable. That this per-
suasion was effected solely by argument no
sane person can believe, however, for it
is notorious that there are not and never
have been any valid arguments in support
of the job. What renders the present re-
vival OF the case more scandalous than any
preceding effort of the kind, is tho unex-
ampled magnitude of the robbery. In its
new form the Committee proposes to give
the claimant some 10000, 600 acres of
public land. as compensation for a loss
which all the Courts unanimously declare
he never could have sustained, even if

GOVERNOR CRIFrENDEE'5 RESPONSE
BILITY

1t was stated recently that Governor
Crittenden, of Missouri, would share the
reward offered for the capture or death of
Jesse James. It was also stated that the
Ford brothers, who killed James, had re-
ceived their instructions from Governor
Crittenden. II these statements are true,
Governor Crittenden is as guilty of the
murder of Jesse James as was Charles Ford,
and if the latter is sentenced to death the
Governor ought to be hanged on the same
gallows. 1t seems probable, however, that
the law will be saved the trouble of unrav.
cling this tangle, for the Governors
life has already been threatened by sur.
vivors Of the James gang, and Frank James
has virtually announced his intention to
kill Ford. And perhaps such termina-
ton would be more in consonance with the
customs of the region concerned than the
orderly procedure of the Courts.

SHIPMENTS TO CHINA.-The Pacific Nal
Company's steamer City of Toxic sailed
from San Francisco Saturday for China
and Japan with remarkably large cargo
OF merchandise and treasure. The follow
ing shows the proportion of shipments
made by Chinese firms: Merchandise to
China, $3.50, 922; treasure to China, se2,.
COS; total. S452, 925. Merchandise by
Chinese, 1920; treasure by Chinese,
800, $50 /; total, Sl63, 500. Other than Chi.
nese shipments. $3.50. l25. The merchan-
disc shipments to China by the City of
Toxic include 4, l40 bales of sheetings and
duck, in transit from the East, and forms
no part of the trade of San Francisco with
China. Deducting S2l4 47o-its value
there remains SAG, 452 for all other ship.
ments. The difference between the latter
amount and the Chinese shipments is S73,.
242, showing that the Chinese firms ship.
ped about one-half of the merchandise
value, and nearly all the treasure. The
shipment of sheetings is an unusually valu.
able one. Out of 1920 barrels OF flour
sent to China, the Chinese firms forwarded
l0,0 5l barrels.

HURLBUT'S LETTERS,

The letters written by the late General
Hurlbut, and which have been produced
by Shipherd before the Congressional Com
mittee, do not seem at all to justify the
view which Shipherd has apparently based
upon them. Unless it is to be supposed
that he CONSTITUTES them as menaces which
were put forward to force the Peruvian
Company to pay him for not obstructing
their claim, it is difficult to understand
how they can help the witness representa-
ton. Hurlbut, as shown in this CORE
spondence, appears to have seen through
the Peruvian Company's game at once, and
all his remarks are directed to show that
the Cochet claim has no possible justifca-
ton or standing In fact he riddles that
claim completely, demonstrating that it
has no validity, and that every one of the
assumptions made by the Peruvian Com.
pany regarding it, is false and fsllacious.
1t would scarcely be possible to dissect a
bogus claim more thoroughly than it has
been done in these letters, and if there is
not some further correspondence to show
that notwithstanding his opposition Hurl
but was willing to advocate the claim if paid
enough for doing so, Sbipherd will certainly
fail to substantiate his charge of corruption
against the dead Minister. But even
though Hurlbut should be exculpated on
this head, there will remain very formid.
able articles of impeachment against him j;
and it is also apparent that the more he is
exonerated in this case, the palmer does it
become that Mr.. Blaine must have been
Shepherds main dependence. At first it
appeared that Blaine and Hurlbut had
been operating in concert. As the case is
gone into more fully, however, it looks as
though Hurlbut was rather an impediment
than an aid to the Secretary's programme !;
and that but for him the programme would
probably have been carried much further
than it was. Whether the committee will
feel called upon to follow up the inquiry
to the end, remains to be seen. Thus far
some disposition to avoid the thin ice has
been manifested. Should the whole story
come out it is probable that there will be
an opportunity for another complaint of
persecution" and that the Ssalwarts
will be charged with malevolence, and
disrespect to the memory of Garfield.

THE CHINESE QUESTION AND SAN FRAN
CISCO REPUBLICANS = The Republican
County Committee of San Francisco has
adopted an address embodied in preamble
and resolutions. The first reoites the facts
as to the veto, the disappointment of the
people, the necessity of restricting Chinese
immigration. that the Republican party of
the State and city favors such restriction,
and that the Pacific coast Representatives
in Congress labored earnestly to carry out
the wishes of this people. The resolutions
indorse the efforts of the Pacific coast men,
bers in Congress in relation to the bill, re.
greet the veto message, and declare that
the day will come when the wisdom and
Justice of the demands of the coast in tie
matter will be recognized all over the land.
That this question demands our united and
constant consideration, and that the Re-
publican party, which is essentially the
party of free labor, free thought, and 10y.
alty to the will of the majority, may be
cemented more firmly through an intelli.
gent. open and temperate discussion of the
question. That we reaffirm our faith and
confidence in the principles which have so
often been enumerated by the Republican
party. and which to day are exemplihed in
the freedom and unity of the whole people.
That we believe the same energy and
ability which have thus far developed the
Pacific coast, which carried the Republican
party into power here, if continued, will
insure prosperity in the future, as In the
past and lead to a successful issue on the
Chinese question.

The Mos, Precious of Gifts.

Health is undoubtedly more precious gift
than riches, homer or power. Who would
exchange it for these, the chief objects of hu-
man ambitions 1t is obviously the part of
wisdom to employ meaus for the preservation
of health and the prolongation of life which
time and experience have proved to be relia-
BILE. Many of the dangers by which health is
threatened may be nullifisd by the use of that
most irresis; IDLE of correctives and topics,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which by in.
creasing vital power and rendering the physi.
cal functions regular and active, keeps the
system in good working order and protects it
against disease. For constipation, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, nervousness, kidney and
rheumasic ailments, it is invaluable, and it
fords a cure defense against malsrial fevers,
besides removing every trace of such disease
from the system. Half wineslassful taken
before meals improves the appetite and in.
sures complete digestion and assimilation.

Ell DORADO CoUaTY AND THE RAIL.
ROAD.

The Board OF Supervisors of Ell Dorado
county have decided to accept the offer Of
the Central Pacific Railroad Company to
pay sixty per cent. of the taxes assessed
upon it. The company asserts that in pay
ing this amount it is really giving much
more than q fair valuation of its property
would call for, and the Supervisors of the
county have evidently satisfied themselves
of the truth of this statement, and of the
equity Of the compauy's position on the
tax question. As the facts of the case be.
come better known this view will unques.
tionably be accepted by all dispassionate
men, and the Supervisors of other counties
will follow the example OF MERGED, Sacra.
mento and FL Dorado.
