or this important interest he saws that
Ia direct connection with the condition OF
our foreign trade is the condition of our
merchant service. The causes of the de
cline OF our shipping are so well under
stood that any remarks on this point are
quite unnecessary. The humiiiatipg fact
stares us in the face that whilc the United
States not many years ago led all the
| nations in ship building and was second
| only to Great Britain in ocsan tonnage. IL
has almost ceased To be recognized as a
maritime power. This revolution has
been caused by the diversion of American
capital aud energy to manufacturing and
| other internal interests and the substitu
tlon OF iron Tor wood in the construction
| OF ships The obstacles In the way of a
restoration OF our foreign shipping will
not be found in the cost of ships which
are to bs built in the United States. but
in the absence of demand for them,
The great and profitable carrying trade
between the United States and Europe
has been allowed TO pass in the hands of
the ship owners OF other nations. So COM
piete Is their control of it, SO large the
capital invested in it and 80 sharp and
persistent would be the contest IL wa
should attempt without government aid to
share in it, that our capitalists would not
compete for it. Enter tanning these views,
he recommends that, as We ought to have
an Interest in the business we create and
as Tie restoration Of our shipping interest
Is important If not essential to the exten-
sion OF our foreign trade, subsidies in the
form OF liberal payments for the transpor-
tation OF mails or in some other form
should be offered as an induosment to
investments OF capital in steamships.

sQUAW CREEK LETTER,

OLA, April II, 1884.
The recent rains have delayed the
farmers considerably with their work.
but what they have lost in time will
be no doubt gained by the start it has
given their crops.
The snow has commenced leaving
its wintery home in the surrounding
mountains, for long and wearisome
journey down the Snake and Colum-
bia rivers to meet its old friend in the
Pacific Ocean.
The Chinook salmon are now rum
ming up all the small streams, and
several have been captured here,
though they are somewhat later than
usual.
The families that wintered in Long
Valley have become disguised with
the snow, and the nen folks have
gone over to Indian Valley and rent
ed ranches for the summer and in
tend to bring their families out from
their winter quarters as soon as the
snow leaves the SUBMITS.

The New system of Drainage.


The idea OF the Joint Committees on Dry
Culture and Health and Cemetery, who
have had the proposed new system Of
drainage under consideration, is 70 carry
the house sewerage by a 2+inch pipe.
which viii be ample in size, To Timber
Landing creek, a distance Of ~ miles
from East Broad street. The creek runs
through the city's land, known as the
Pest House tract. ana emFties into Au-
CUISINE creek. This viii carry the Of
fensive sewerage Of BilbO canal 70 salt
water. aud the canal-which by the way
is now a nuisance-Tin only be used for
storm water or surface drainage.
As soon as the Council is ready to begin
work on the new drainage system it would
be advisable 70 seek the advice Of Mr..
George Z. Waring, or some other equally
competent sanitary engineer, relative TO
all matters pertaining 70 it. A few small
mistakes might not only prove very costly,
but might destroy many Of the advantages
anticipated.
This sewerage question is very impor-
tant, and while It i fresh in the minds OF
the people the City Council should make
a liberal appropriation to perform the
work Of putting down the pipes without
delay, or at least make beginning at it.
1t can be done economically if it is started
properly. The first thing necessary is, as
already stated, to pay a good engineer for
good advice.
There will be a large increase in the
city's revenues during the coming year
from increased valuations because Of i'm
provements, and there should be funds to
spare to pay for the city's share Of the
work, namely; main drains and minor
drains across streets. The people Of this
city can make no better investment than
providing better drainage and paving the
sfraafs.

The pastoral letter sent out by the pre-
1ates who composed the Third Plenary
Council, lately in session at Baltimore,
is a document that will be widely read
and generally commented on. That part
which refers to divorce and the divorce
laws Of this country commends itself to
all who have the welfare Of society at
heart. The Catholic Church does not
recognize divorce, and it would be well if
Protestant churches and the laws did not
recognize it.
Only those who pay attention to the
court reports and notice the statements
made every once in a while relative to the
annual increase in the number of divorces
granted know how great the divorce evil
has become. The feeling that many have
before they enter into the marriage re-
latiOn that if their married life is not
pleasant they can get a divorce, is no
doubt the foundation Of a large number
Of divorces. Families are broken up.
children are scattered and lives are
ruined by this divorce evil, and the worst
of It is the evil is growing. 1t is weaken.
ing the foundation Of society. If it isn't
checked the ruin it will work viii be ter.
Fible to contemplate.
