An OUTSIDE OPINION.

Talking OF transportation the Oregon
F6dette says: If the Columbia river
is opened by free government canals
at the Cascades and The Dalles, and
the canal at Oregon City made free,
then the produce of these great val
leys can be reached by competing
steamboats,, and the barge can float
the crops of both valleys all the way
to Astoria at a dollar per ton, instead
of the five and ten dollars now exact
ed 10y the railroad monopoly. There
fore the exertions of the State should
be put forth to secure these free can
ais. Let the government appropria-
tions be concentrated on the canals
at the Cascades and The Dalles, and
upon improvements of the Columbia
bar, while the State should at the
earliest possible period condemn to
public use, at a fair valuation, the
canal at Oregon City. Portland will
not like this programme, but that
city ought not TO be allowed to any
longer dictate the commercial policy
of the State. Its Board of Trade and
wealthy citizens have all surrendered
their rights and opinions TO the lead
ership of Henry Willard, and he is at
work to build up Puget Sound and
not Oregon. The farmers, producers
and interior merchants must now
make common cause with Astoria to
make that the shipping point foI
Oregon. Let us waste no more efforts
TO get money 70 dig ont a canal TO LEI
ocean ships ascend one hundred
miles above Astoria. Secure first, /;
good entrance over the bar to Astoria
then open these canals to free navi
CATION, and after that let each tow
and city take care of its own lOca
interests.

A OoMMENDABLE CATCH.

The Police Succeed in Collecting Sufficient
Evidence to Hold Charles Blake for
Court.
At the session of the Municipal Court on
Saturday night an audience of about 300
was present to listen to the trial of Charles
Blake, suspicious character, arrested by
Chief of Police Hawkins on Thursday even.
ing last. Testimony was produced which
implicated Blake in several robberies that
occurred here several years ago, but the at
tempt on the part of the State to prove that
Blake was the man who broke into II. L..
Tatnall's house was not successful.
Chief of Police Hawkins testified to seeing
Blakes picture in the rogues gallery in Phil
adelphia and also produced the following
letter from Samuel l. Given, Chief of Police
of Philadelphia, to further prove the charge
against Blake: ''Charles Jones, alias Blake
was arrested by Detectives Weyl and
Galloway, charged with burglary at
the house of George Athmet No.
1910 South Sixth street. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to two
years in the Eastern Penitentiary, April 9,
1878, by the Honorable Judge Thayer. May
4, 1878, the above sentence was recon-
sidered and changed to 1S months. Charles
Blake was arrested by Detectives Galloway
and Umstead charged with burglary at the
house of ]. L. Baum, No. 2036 Diamond
street, tried and convicted February 4, 1880,
and sentenced to two years and six months
in the Eastern Penitentiary."
The prisoner was then held in bail In the
sum of 500 for his appearance at the supe-
rlor Court.
The two pawn tickets which Blake at
tempted to swallow when arrested have
been pasted together and can epartly read
One is from the Mercantile Loan Office, on
Ridge avenue, Philadelphia, and is numbered
| 20 ,639, and shows that pair of gold specta-
cles had been pawned by "Blake." The
| second was from loan office at PAT North
Ninth street, Philadelphia, and is numbered
| 10 ,971, and is for an umbrella pawned by
"Howard." Chief of Police Hawkins visited
| the two offices in question and found the
articles mentioned, neither of which con.
tained any marks by which they can bt
identified, but an effort is being made to dis
/ cover the owners.
Blake is undoubtedly one of the princi
| pals of all the large robberies committed il
this city fer some time past, and is wei
known here, having lived here for :
number OF years.

A STABLE BURNED.
The Live Stock Rescued-Loss Covered by
Insurance.


Insurance.
Last night, about 1870 o'clock, as Jeffer-
son Z. Banks, colored hostler, was passing
along Eleventh street, he noticed flames
issuing from the southerly side of the stable
between 0raDge and Tatnall streets. He
quickly notified Officer McKendrick, who
struck box 8.
The department was quickly on hand and
did all in their power to save the building,
which is of brick, 30x100 feet. They expe-
rienced considerable trouble in gaining
access. When the windows were opened, in
order to play streams in them, a draft was
created that spread the fire over the whole
interior, which was entirely consumed.
The stable was occupied by W. 8. Bullock,
Singer Sewing Machine Company, American
Sewing Machine Company, Peter Robinson
and Charles E. Salfner. The horses that
were in the stable were all rescued.
The fire broke out In the hay loft of Peter
Robinson's stable, in the second story in the
back part, and the only reason assigned is
that it was caused by spontaneous combus-
ton from new hay. The loss to occupants
is about $500, including feed, harness and
smaller fixtures. The loss on the building
is about 81 900, fully covered by insurance,
mostly in Wilmington companies. The
tiremen worked nobly. but could not save
the fire from spreading. The residents of
the neighborhood treated the fremen to
warm lunch and coffee, and Archibald
tiiven took good care OF the physical wants
Of the Weccacoe boys, who were stationed
in front OF his house at Ninth and Tatnall
streets. By o'clock the flames were mostly
extinguished, and the companies prepared
10 go home.

epR IspUsraIAL PROGRESS.

The tables we present below should be
perussd and carefully preserved by every
business man in the country. They tell
the story of the marvellous progress Of this
nation better than any words can do. Every
column in these tables shows the vast add.
tons made yearly TO the material wealth
OF the United States. Every one is ia.
miliar with the astonishing growth of our
population, but our industrial activity has
more than kept pace with it. While the
ratio of increase in inhabitants has been
arithmeticaI it would not be too extrava-
CANT TO claim that our productive forces
nave multiplied geometricaily. In 1852 we
produced 5, 525. 0CO tons Of anthracite coal,
and in 1851. 80, 2S2, 600. In 1852 we pro.
duced SAL 900 tons of pig iron in 1881,
