CANYON CREEK.-An East Portland cor
respondent says that Messrs. c. B. Bartel
and H. H. Keissling returned Saturday
evening from their trip to the mines in Ska.
mania county, w. T., in which they are in
terested. They report the prospects highly
encouraging, and bring with them fine speci-
mems of silver quartz in confederation Of
their statement. These gentlemen belong
to company in which six others, all from
East Portland, are interested, and which is
called the Canyon Creek Eureka Mining
Company, each member of which has located
claim Of 300 feet. The diggngs are To-
Gated in the Cascades about forty.fve miles
northeast from Vancouver, and through
their inaccessibility by any means of con-
veyance, work has necessarily been re-
tarded. Conveyance can only be had about
ten miles from Vancouver; the balance of
the distance has to be tramped ever a rough
country Six Of the men, however, keep
continually at work, and will do so till
spring, when q crusher will be purchased
and sent to the mines. Several good leads
have been struck, which continue to grow
richer as they grow deeper, and by spring
the company confidently expect to demon
strate that they have 'struck it RICH" Sew.
eral other companies are operating in the
vicinity of the East Portland camp, and the
prospects for mining excitement at an
early day are good.

TbeaCo,ton Receints ProbIem.


Elsewhere in this issue we present the
report of the committee appointed at the
meeting of the Savannah Cotton Ex-
change, held or the 23d ult., to whom was
committed the duty of inquiring into the
causes of the comparative decrease OF
cotton receipts at this port, and of sug-
costing such remedies for their removal
as might be deemed advisable. The report
was submitted at an adjourned meeting
Of the Exchange held yesterday, and
while not exhaustive, of the subject, is
sufficiently thorough to give one fair
comprehension of the subject and of what
must be done to correct the evil COM
planned of.
The report completely sustains the
views of the problem from time to time eX-
pressed i'm these columns, but Celebrates
those views with a thoroughness of de-
tail that leaves no doubt of their correct
ness. Several features of the report are
grouped in the series of resolutions pre-
scented by the committee and adopted by
the Exchange.
These direct attention to the injury that
the pooling system is working to the cot
ton trade of this port, and the response
bility of our home railroads in sanction
ing the diversion of the products of the
State to ports outside of its limits.
They point out the necessity of having
present rates revised and differential or
uniform rates on a mileage basis estab-
lished while the present pooling system
continues in force.
They further urge the correction of
whatever abuses or hurtful usages
that may prevail here with regard to the
weighing and delivery of the staple, and
suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of the appoint
ment of an inspector of cotton.
The matter of quotations, too, is dealt
with, and the Exchange, in accordance
with the committees suggestion, has Or
dered a new set of types upon which to
base quotations hereafter.
The resolutions, too, urge the appoint
ment of police patrol for the river front,
the opening Of wider avenue from the
city to the Ocean Steamship COmpany's
wharves. and the abolition of licenses to
cotton pickers.
Considerable space in the report is de-
voted to the matters of COMPRISING,
brokerage, drayage, ETC., and practices
are pointed out that collectively tend to
the detriment of trade. The report con-
cludes with the following truthful and
pointed paragraph:
San effort has been made to show that
changes in all departments of the Savan-
nah cotton trade are necessary, and that
| almost every individual connected with
that trade is required TO make some per-
sOnal sacrifices for its development. Your
/ committee trust that sufficient public
spirit will manifest itself to command
such sacrifices without which neither
their efforts nor any steps that may be
taken hereafter can prove of practical
| value"
The committee has discharged its task
with ability and candOr, and there can
be no doubt that its suggestions, IF acted
upon, will do much toward accomplish
ing the end sought. The report should be
carefully read by every citizen of the
| city and State who has the welfare of
Savannah at heart.

The New York Tribune publishes plat
form which it advises the Ohio DemOc-

the more easily defeated, the first plank
of which reads as follows;
ssResOlUed. That any duty levied for the
purpose of protection wrongs millions OF
consumers for the benefit OF a few pro-
ducers. A tariff that shall raise necessary
revenue with the least possible tax upon
consumers or discrimination between
producers is the only one that government
has any right to impose"
Editor Reid Is quite too reckless. The
language quoted is the cold truth about the
tariff, and coming from the Tribune, even
though facetiously, may beget reflection
on the part of its readers. That would be
dangerous for the &. o. p.
