facts have been elected: The COM

state of Pennsylvania, and almost as
much as that of New York. OF this
80, OOO, 600 acres, British subjects own
fully IL 600, 600 acres, or twice the area
of Massachusetts. Some Of the largest
holdings are the following: The Mar.

600 acres; German syndicate, 1,100,0O

It seems to be universally conceded
at Washington that the president
made q coup when he singled out
Justice Brown to succeed Justice
Miller. All reports concur that the
old members are charmed with their
associate. One of them is quoted as
remarking on the day of the new JUS
tice's installation, HE is the man we
need. He is able and fully equipped
for the duties. He will not have to be
taught" Justice Brown Is described
as bearing q marvellous resemblance to
the late Samuel J. Randall when the
latter was in full vigOr, and before he
began to fail; the same fine head and
strong, clearly cut features, with the
same expression and smoothly shaven
face, though the justice Is trifle fairer
than was the great Pennsylvania.

government cannot with justice In

the additional expense necessary to
organizing and conducting the bus

II these county division matters are

Upon inquiries made at San Fran

much discrimination against farmers
and In favor Of the elevator company
and other corporations In the ship
ment Of grain. Loaded cars have
stood at Albina for two months with
farmers grain, and that of the corpor-
atoms was put on the boats for San
Francisco ut once after going In to
Albina. Thus farmers are forced to
pay interest on money and ask their
creditors to carry them because their
grain is not shipped as it should be in
it's turn. No wonder that class of our
citizens are clamoring for protection by
law from such unjust determinations

ready the agitation Is having salutary
effect. Representatives Of this great
section In Washington are presenting
new measures necessary to hasten the
end in view. It Is becoming subject
Of general comment and special inter-
est. There Is no question of internal
improvement in the northwest Of so
wide and practical an interest as this.
Where in the United States Is there a
section so extensive in area, 80 fertile

the world, and In abundance battle

is there q river system 30 naturally
adapted to develop an inland and tri-
butary country as Is the Columbia.
With It's branches and tributaries it
penetrates into the very heart Of this
inland country, and is the natural
artery of trade for all this commerce.
With but little outlay, fully five hun
dred miles Of water highway could be
opened. Cheaper transportation would
instantly follow which would rebound
to the benefit Of consumer and pro-

The special committee appointed to
examine into the affairs of the insane
asylum at Blackfoot, incorporate in
their report the following facts: The
books for the last four years show
total expenditure of $1O2, 1852. OF
this, $4,000 was paid for land and
buildings, and $4,000 in material and
supplies is now OH hand, leaving the
total net current expense to be $72,-
476.43. The daily average of patients
under treatment for the time was 53.5,
and the net cost per day 90 cents per
patient. From all information gained
it appears that the patients have been
we'll cared for and have been kindly
and carefully treated. There are at
present seventy-one patients in the in
stitution, "a females and Al males.
The committee earnestly recommends
that an appropriation of not less than
$4,000 be made for the construction
of additional buildings and furnishing
and completing the new building con-
structedd since the late fire, and further
that an appropriation Of an amount
to equal ninety cents per capita be
made for the maintenance Of the
