' IMPRESSIONS OF ASTORIA.
oerwkast Tuesday we-published a con
tribution from a friend upon subjects
suggested on his first visit to Astoria.
"Below we copy from a private letter
' -to one of our citizens, the impressions
. of a correspondent at Port Macon,
-North. Carolina, suggested on receiv
ing the Astobian. The writer spent
about eighteen months here, a few
years ago, and seems not to have for
jgotten his first impressiens:
"I was somewhat surprised at the
, isize, and appearance, and tri-weekly
' 'issue of the Astobian, and am glad
, the people of Astoria have the energy
to support it. The editor is no new
hand at the business, I surmise, and
,, if' properly sustained will make his
paper useful not only to Astoria but
to society at large in Oregon. The
more I think over the matter, the
surer I am that Astoria is bound to
, be one of the largest cities of the Pa-
. cific coast, and this without detriment
to the other coast cities. San Diego
will grow with the Southern Pacific
terminus there, for the trade of lower
i .California, the Islands, as well as
Southern California and Mexico, can
be centered there for shipment and
receipt. San Francisco, already large,
is safe with its excellent harbor and
the Sacramento valley behind it; and
Puget Sound will also liave its large
,-city. But do not imagine that one,
. two, or three large cities, will be all
that the coast can support. By no
. means. The population that must
k and will come to settle up that whole
, country, will need more large cities
than even you or I can imagine to-
, -day for ports and outlets on the Pacific
and we will live to see part of it.
"I know that at present there is
fear among some of the cities that
the growth of others will injure them.
. Portland, I imagine, is afraid of As
toria, but they do not .take the broad
and comprehensive view they ought
but are looking only to the present
narrow interests. Astoria will grow
faster than Portland in time, and
-will probably grow larger, but that
will not destroy Portland. It has its
inland trade and will have its ship
ments as before, but Astoria must be-
come the sea port city. The nature
J of things, and increasing population,
will demand it."
' t The Government, which made
- magnificent land grants to the Union
Pacific Railroad, refuses to issue pat
p cuts for the alternate sections donat
r ed to it, in Nebraska and the Territo
ries, on the ground that the road is
-. not finished in first-class style, as was
. required by the terms of 'its charter.
!A new Commissioner must first exam-
." iue and report upon" the road, and
pronounce it worthy of acceptance,
before the Government will recede
. "from its position. The Company
have already sold a large portion of
these lands, and given bonds to in-
' ' sure good title. . The way of the trans-
' gressorishard,"and the railroad mo-
' 'nopolies are beginning to find this out,
e- to their sorrow.
- t ' r The workingmen of London had
a strike against their employers, the
jfi guilders, for what, lii this country,
Tr would be deemed a very trifling mat
. liter. The workmen demanded an in-
.u. -crease of one halfpenny an hour,
b jWrhich would bring their wages up to
nine pence an hour. They also de
1 jinanded the , privilege of. stopping
m tiS01!-a 12 o' clock l , instea'd of 1 p. m.
on Saturday. The builders.stood out
. ast long as they could, and then yield
vlked both points. TheEnglish penny
flcj-jis equal to twocenfa il the work
men were employed ten hours for
gjfiv'.cdays, andfiveTTours for the sixth
utday, the increase in his wages would
,- amount to only 55 cents jJer week.
J. rjis wages for the weekwould thus
i jqjbe egual to about 9 ,901 .,

-Religious. Colonization. ,
i Nineteen families of? Melmonites,
100 persons in all,, arrived in .New
York last Saturday from Prussia,
bound for Kansas. At the present
time, colonization by sects appears,
much in vogue. The first arrivals
rorn Europe Qn this Continent were
of distinctive religious communities,
and the system seems to berSviving
again. The colonization of Utah by
the Mormons shows what can be
done on a large scale, but their colon
izing,' while valuable for its material
advantages, is socially objectionable.
The present most important system
of religious colonization is that of the
Mennonites or Russian Baptists.
These people who are immigrating
from Southern Russia are an indus
trious community. The cause of
their departure from the Czar's
dominions is the new regulation
which allows of no exception in lia
bility to military service. The Men
nonites have conscientious scruples
against bearing arms. These Men
nonites are not setting in a body, but
they have had agents in Canada,
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and Da
kota, wThere they intend severally
colonizing large tracts of land. Eng
lish Congregationalists are forming a
settlement in Minnesota, along the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad.
The first of this class c ame over last
year, and there have been three or
four arrivals of large bodies during
1873. A number of English Wes
leyans, which denomination corres
ponds to the Methodist Episcopal
Church of America, have purchased
a.large tract of land in South Caroli
na. These Wesleyans have brought
their pastor with them under an en
gagement to remain twelve months.
This system of organized colonization
is beneficial to the immigrants them
selves, and to the State in which they
locate. The immigrants continue
many of their old home associations
with all the material advantages at
tendant upon life in the New "World.
"We should be glad to welcome simi
larly organized colonization in the
unoccupied districts of this State.
YSTERVIIXE ITEMS.
Every house in Oysterville is oc
cupied. Several tourists from Portland
and Salem are stopping at Oysterville.
Mr. Gile has been very sick of
late, but is now gradually recovering.
Crellen Brothers have recently
replaced the doors to their store by
new ones of a substantial pattern.
It is said money is quite scarce
in Shoalwater bay at present, owing
to the competition in the oyster trade.
The numerous boats in the Bay,
have been receiving fresh coats of
paint, and undergoing thorough re
pairs, for their winter trade.
The Probate Court of Pacific
county met at Oysterville on Monday
last. J. B. Knapp applied for a final
settlement of the estate of Dr. Kelly,
deceased, which was granted.
The road from Oysterville to the
beach has lately undergone repairs,
and although the sand placed on
it is now quite soft, it will get harder
with travel, and will by another sea
son, be a good road.
A large buoy which 'broke away
from its mooring has lately been
brought around from the weather
beach to Oysterville, by Mr. Caruth
ers and Judge Barr, at an expense to
the government oi o.
Mr. Caruthers, proprietor of the
Pacific Hotel, has placed a new sign
board over his popular-house, so that
nereatter " the way taring man,
though a fool need not err " in find
ing a comfortable resting place.
Mr. Thomas Crelbn is building a
magnificent residence. It is rapidly
drawing to completion. "The plaster
ers are now at work. The whole
will be completed in a few weeks.
The house when finished will cost at
least 6,000; and will be the finest
in the town.
a The camp meeting at Goose Point,
eight miles from Oysterville, is the
first meeting of the kind ever held in
I Shoalwater bay. It began on Thurs
day last. On Sunday about 300 per
sons were present. The Methodist
preachers present and conducting
the meeting were the Be v. Mr. Chap
man, of Kalarua: Bev. ltr. Dennison,
o O vsterville, Bev. Mr. "Ward, of the
Chehalis county; and one other whose
