An observable feature of Portland
at the present time is the encroach-
ment of the Chinese quarters upon
the business center of the city. It
has spread its upas-like breath over
many blocks which would otherwise
be devoted to prosperous retail trade.
One can scarcely pass through the
infected district without being jostled
by the impudent hordes of filthy,
jabberiDg heathens, while the more
acute senses are assailed by disgust
ing sights, noises and smells. Such
things would not be tolerated if done
by white men, and the wonder is
that this uncongenial race should be
allowed to usurp privileges denied
to our own kith aud kin. They are
certainly q nuisance, in the full
meaning of the term; they are a con-
slant menace to the health of the
city, and the social contamination
which flows directly and indirectly
from this cess.pool must be fearful.
Public safety, which authorizes the
use Of extreme measures, demands
some rigorous means of relief. Not
only business streets but the public
squares and parks have been monop-
olized by this audacious pest, and
hundreds can be seen daily lolling
on the grass Of the public resorts to
the utter exclusion of everybody but
tramps. Portland should take some
means of restricting this evil, which
is serious clog to her progress and
q foul blot on her fair name.

ScLr LAW AGAIN.--In tho case OF
the Territory against Captain Smith,
on complaint Of Aaron Hartsock,
Territorial Inspector, for violation
Of the scale law in towing a boom of
logs from Isaac Ellis camp, near
Olympia. February "a, 1884, before
the same had been scaled or meas.
ured M required by law, heard be.
fore W. L. Ready, magistrate, on
the Goth inst, the testimony showed
that the captain knew that the logs
had not been scaled at the time he
towed them, and had orders to take
them without their having been
scaled. Mr.. Ellis, however, testi-
fed that the logs were his. and that
while he had been logging for the
Blakely Mill Company for years and
his practice had been in dealing
with them TO deliver the logs to
them at the rollway where doomed.
yet that after the 1st OF January
1884, tho Company had notified him
that they would only receive his logs
in future at their mill, and that these
particular logs were his until they
| reached tho mill md wera ,ece;vod
by the company. Mr.. E., however,
was . very unwilling witness. The
Judge held that the evidence that
the logs were sold before being
towed by the steamer from tho place

charged the defendant. McFadden

Territory and j. H. Mitchell, Jr., for

A Times leader says: "The real ques-
ton at issue between Churchill and the
Conservative leaders is whether the in
ternal organization of the party will be
established upon a popular representa-
tive basis, as Churchill advocates it, or
shall remain upon an irresponsible basis.
On this broad and unmistakabe issue
there should be no doubt but that
Churchill is right.
