1t seems that machine politicians in
the east have not yet given up their
efforts, whatever they have concluded
to do elsewhere. The New York
Times, in speaking of the state repub-
lican convention says: at is entirely
plain that the machine has, in spite
OF tsappareut magnanimity, retained
sufficient hold upon the primaries to
keep in its hands control of the party
organization next year. What use
will be made of this power remains to
be seen. Nothing is more certain than
very large number of republicans
have made up their minds not to sup
port any nominations which are forced
upon them. In that conclusion they
are sustained by sense of the high
est duty to their party and their coun-
try. Managers ought to have learned
that last year, but if they have not,
they will receive palmer lesson this
year if necessary, and a still palmer
one next year"

OF the commencement of traffic over
the Northern Pacific r. r. the Ore
gOnidn says: "Much speculation is
being INDUCED in as to what uses the
northern route can be put to now that
it is complete. Already passengers
and west-bound freight are being han
died. Eastward have gone two small
shipments of Puyalup hops, which go
to Waterville, New York. That large
quantities OF salmon, hops, etc., will
be shipped is certain. Whether a
wheat or flour movement will be pos
sible remains to be seen. At this date
nothing can be done, but doubtless
situations will arise that will permit
such shipments"

Henry Willard has decided not to
build the railroad down to Astoria.
In letter he says: $50 many unfor-
seen obstacles were encountered in
making the surveys that it was mat
ter of absolute impossibility to COM
plete the work at an early date. | re-
greet to say that the estimates of the
cost of the line in question, now be-
fore me, are so large that it will be
impossible forth Oregon * Transcon-
tinental company, a. lessee of the Or
egon x California railroad company,
to undertake its construction. Ac-
cording to the engineers figures. the
cost will be no less than an average Of
$4,000 per mile in money, not includ-
ing the probable cost of proper ter
minaf facilities at Astoria-estimated
at S750,000. Under the existing mort
cages we could not possibly issue
more than the nominal amount of
$4,000 per mile in bonds on the line,
and there are absolutely no means to
meet the deficiency at the command
of either company. We must there
fore abandon the project"

Last week, Wednesday, Olympia
had another fire, and among other
buildings burned was the land Office
and surveyor generals Office. The
Register of the land office gives the
the following information: "All the
records of the Office, showing the EN-
tries and filings, which include the
various scrip locations, cash entries,
homestead entries, presumption filings
and timber land applications, were to-
tally destroyed. Most of these, how
ever, can be replaced by duplicates
from the general land Office, except
the timber land entries, and the nota-
tons and the memoranda made upon
the books by the local officers.
Amongst the important documents
completely destroyed, and which can
not be replaced, were the plats of all
the donation claims in all the ranges
west, and the plats of all the town
ships in range west. Many original
papers and all the letter books and
correspondence were totally consumed.
The correspondence with the general
land office can, in measure, be re-
placed, but all other correspondence
may be considered completely lost.
All the plats and papers relating to
the Port Angeles town site have also
been consumed. None of the business
done in the office since September LIST
can be replaced, and all parties hav-
ing made filings, or entries, or final
proof since that time, will have to do
the work over again. Surveyor Gen
erals Department. Everything in
this office was completely destroyed,
but all the documents, with the ex-
cepton of miscellaneous correspond
ence with the United States deputy
surveyor, district land Offices and in
dividuals, can be duplicated in Wash
ington. There are between 1900 and
400 townships that have been sur
veyed, extending since the year 1858,
anu oI course all the monuments per-
tanning to them have been consumed,
but all the township plats and field
notes can be duplicated, except from
twelve to fifteen townships just tran
scribed and plated within the past
few weeks, but these can be worked
over from the field notes. Mr.. Her
bert McMicken, besides losing his sta
bic, also lost about 500 in valuable
papers. Mr. Cowles, chief clerk, lost
about 5000 in surveying instruments,
gold pens, etc. Surveyor General Nc
Micken lost many valuable papers,
surveying instruments, barometer,

A floating paragraph says Judge
Wingard has decided that the right of
way, roadbed, superstructure, depot
building, woodsheds, watertanks, etc,
are not assessable under section Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. s
charter. This probably settles the
question as far as Washington Terri
tory is concerned, there having been
no decision on that point since the adj
vent Of the Northern Pacific Railway
into the Territory. 1t has been the
custom of assessors in the various
counties where the road was con-
structed, to assess everything that
could in any way be attributed to the
ownership Of the company, but in
most cases compromises have been eff
fected." Judge Vineyards decision
may be all right, but we do not see it
stated anywhere, as to how Congress,
which granted the charter, acquired
the right to exempt any private prop
erty from, county, State OF Territor-
ial taxation. 1t is generally under
stood that Congress can only exempt
property from United States taxes,
the regulation of local tayation being
left to State, Territorial aud county
authorities,
