THE HOLIDAY" SEASON.

It was credibly reported in this city
yesterday by parties just returned from
Portland, that Governor Chamberlain
intends to extend the present period Of
"legal holidays" all through the coming
week if it shall be necessary for the
financial ease and safety of the state;
but that he will proclaim the proscrip-
tion from day to day SO as to be able
to check up at the moment the expedient
is no longer needed.
In view of te Governors diligent
search, the other day, for some legal
excuse for revoking his original declara-
tion in this behalf, we were convinced
that he was not sure of his predicate,
and scarcely likely to be induced to re-
peat the act; but, the assurance now
comes that it is actually essential, as
means Of gaining time for the Portland
banks, which simply must have relief

THE SpEcIoUS BOOSTER.

In these piping times the best OF the
American magazines are frequently
made to stand for very reckless work
on the part Of their really accredited
writers and are, to the extent OF the
imposition, injured and discredited In
given localities. A case in point is that
Of the popular, and usually trustworthy,
Success" Of New York, whose recent
article entitled sour Own Northwest"
written by one Chauncey Thomas. was
as bald piece of speeious boosting as
has floated across the Columbia Valley
horizon in many day.
It appeared in the October issue OF
that magazine; and the character of the
work stamps its author, at once, as
man perfectly able to discriminate BE-
tween straight and crooked writing, and
leaves him with no excuse for the raw
blunder OF turning really meritorious
literary article upon a general and in
teresting topic, into palpably inspired
advertisement for particulars section
Of the country he was sent out to
describe.
Couched beneath the candid predicate
that he intended to scrupulously avoid
the very wrong he committed, Mr.
Thomas proceeds, most cleveiy. to her

water-grade level railway haul from the
Rockies to the Pacific; and after going

and swings his glib pen into the heat
and heart of as plain a case of delib-
crate advertising" as is ever seen be-
tween magazine covers.
The sum of his sin does not lie in
the fact that he advertised Puget
Sound, Seattle and Tacoma, as the sea-
terminal of this magnificent route for
the traffic of the world across this con-
tinent; but that he primarily damned.
and later ignored, the Columbia own
sea- gate for that commerce. He taintly
praised the city of Portland, in order
to mitigate the singing insult OF COM
plete reputation accorded her, and
barely breathed the name of this port
throughout his article; for all OF which
he might be forgiven, had he not COM
