A VOICE FOR FOULWEATHER.

I read in your issue of the 7th inst. a com-munication on the subject of a harbor ofrefuge, signed by " Traveler," and I shouldjudge by his reckless statements and hisstyle of argument that he was a lineal descendant of the celebrated "Arkansas Trav-eler," or, perhaps, that ancient gentlemanhimself. He has discovered a serious objec-tion to the bay north of Cape Foulweatheron account of its entire bottom being "lit-erally filled with large and small boulders."When was the discovery made, and whomade it? Nobody except "Traveler," and1 imagine the largest boulder he ever foundwas in his hat. He attempts to prove thatthe bight north of the cape is "to fortuneand to fame unknown," arid produces a num-ber of names of persons that h say3 werenever there. Well, what does that kind ofnegative testimony prove ? Nothing at all.1 notice among the names that " Traveler "

attempts to array against Foulweather isthat of Capt. Winant. Well, Capt. Wiiiantknows a great deal more about Cape Foul-weather and the bay north of it, than does"Traveler." Aud here is an extract froman article written lately by him on the sub-

ject and published in the Alameda Encinal :

"To sum up and make this article brief; 1

claim that it (Cape Foulweather) containssuch a basin, enclosed by such a reef as setforth in Mr. Habersham's report, and if aharbor of refuge can be constructed at afigure far below the cost of any cher pointyet mentioned, it is a matter well worthythe attention of the engineers."

And when " Traveler " says that the gen-tlemen he has named would scoff at the ideaof a port of refuge at Foulweather, in theface of the favorable report of an experi-enced engineer and in absence of the factthat they had ever given the place any ex-

amination or had even been there. I am sat-

isfied he is nsihg their nairie3 without anyauthority, and the assertion is about on apar with his assertion " that the interiorof our state has sacrificed lives euough forthe want of an asylum for vessel s " I would,like to ask " Traveler " when and how theinterior of the state ever sacrificed a singlelife for the want of a harbor of refuge ? AndI denounce this charge against the people ofthe state (or the cow counties, if you choose)as without foundation and utterly false.All that has been done by the j i pie of theiuterior of the state is to nro upon con-

gress the necessity of an early constructionof a harbor of refuge at some suitable pointon the coast, so as to prevent the loss of lifeand property continually occurring fromsouthwest gales.' "This is 1 ad andfront of their offending,; it a.:..'.: ' extentand no more. "

"Traveler " has also discovered dense fogsat Cape Foulweather. This, like his otherbrilliant discoveries, was probably madewhen he was not there. To say that thefogs are any worse off Cape Foulweatherthan they are at Crescent city, Trinidad,Port Orford, Coos Bay, mouth of the Ump-qu-

or the mouth of the Columbia, will doto tell to the marines, but it in too thin foran old salt.

On the boulder question if "Traveler"will examine the bottom of the roadstead atPort Orford he will find ten boulders wherethere is one in the bay north of Cape Foul-weather.

If "Traveler's " idea that a harbor of ref-

uge cannot be of any benefit to ships if it isto be entered from the southwest, or west,be correct, then the report of Col. Wilson" that the gale3 most dreaded by marinersare from the southwest " is all wrong, for aharbor that a wreck could drift into wouldbe no harbor at all.

Notwithstanding the assaults of " Trav-eler " and "Shipowner," the facts remainthat the bay north of Cape Foulweather isthe most avail.acle point for a harbor on thewhole coa3t. for the reason that the injuryto shipping being caused by southwest gole3.no point south of that would be of any prac-tical use, especially when we consider thatvessels leaving the Golden Gate must beatfive or six hundred miles westward to getthe trade winds. That the capacity of theharbor is am-d- e is shown by Col. Wilson'sreeort, said report showing that the harborwou'd be about a mile long and a third of a

SILETZ AGENCY.

The telegraph announced a few days agothat E. A. Swain, of New York, had beenappointed agent of the Siletz reservation.Who Mr. Swain is, or what hjs qualiffca-tions- ,

we knnw not, bat it seems a littlestrange that a New York man should be ap-

pointed to a Federal office In Oregon, espe-cially in view of the recommendation madeby the last annual conference of the M. B.Church, under whose supervision the agencyis supposed to be placed. It will be remem-bered that W. G. Piper, of Albany, wasrecommended for that position in cise of avacancy. Jude Piper hs the confidence ofthe community in which he lives, and Ts

certainly worthy and competent We donot know that he desires the situation, butthis certainly is a strange proceeding.

Tha above is from the Salem Statesman, ofthe 15th inst. In the first place, we werenot aware that a vacancy existed in the po-

sition of agent at Siletz reservation. If.there is, we think the person recommended

by the conference of the M. E. Church,should stand first on the list. Can it be pos-sible that there 13 no person connected withthat Church, on this coast, capable of fillingthe position. If that is true, then send a" hand " from " York State."
