- " -?v en VTTiT .fftV tVCTT glic PM3 site, ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY- JUNE 22, 1682 J. I UALLOKAN'.. Editor A Great Question. There is now in abeyance in our sister state California, a ques tion of most overshadowing im portance, a question far outweigh ing in results the trivial proposi tion also before 'the Californians as to who shall be their governor for. the next four years; it is the great contest between the fanners and theminers. Briefly stated, the point at issue is, can the hydraulic miners, discharge the boulders, gravel, sand and mud from their mines into the river, or Can they be made to . stop? It has been coming to the front for twenty years; "its decision involves the prosperity of 300,00(1. . people, and the matter fs one productive of the most intense feeling on each side. In the mountain coun ties the unanimous answer is "No, the United States gave us a right to work our mines, and that patent so obtained embraces the right to ukc the natural water ways to carry off the debris." The valley people, the fruit, wheat, barley "rowers sav:' "Onr homes arc being destroyed, our orchards. farms, vineyards, homesteads aro every year 'rendered more worth less and the result i, that we must go. There is no justice in it." And so it stands. It seems hard. On the one hand are the miners, absolutely de pendent on the'product of tlio hy draulic mines for food and cloth ing for themselves and families, who, if .stopped in their daily work, must abandon their homes and the mines in which they have put every dollar tlioy own. On the r.thr hand am "he farmers, who, every yoar, see the raging waters, cj'urv down mud unci gray sand .spreading out in sterile deso lation over their fertile farm's and fruitful -vineyards. Sporifttic at tempts have been niadr from time to snttle lho'-inaitcr' in a manner mutually advantageous to both parties. Projects have been -advanced -and upon trial discarded; dams have been built, only .to be swept away by the first frchot, and aE last the farmers in the nauif of " The people of ihe state of Ualifonia,"" have brought suit in Sacramento county against one of the largest mining companies eff the state, asking that-an injunction be served on tha-cpmpajiy enjoining them from further operations. This suit has been decided in favor of the farmers," la the valleys there is rejoicing; in the mountains there is dismay". The matter now goes before the',supreme court for final adjudication, and upon 'the decis ion -of that court rests the for tunes of half a million poople. It is about as certain as a thing can be that if is as yet to take place that the appellate court will affirm the. findings of Judge Temple of the" .superior "court of Sacramento county. HowM'liP'St'n "Trhnfps -are Faring;. Tiik st iranips which have been dumping slaves and. infec tious diseases on our shores, says the" Bulletin, are not going to prove very remunerative ventures. One of them, the Bothwell Cattle, has been seized at Portland and mulct in S7,000'for carryintr pa.s-seiigers-'in excess of the ratio of one'passengcr to every two tons measurement, required by the ac' of congress, under a penalty of 50 for each passenger in excess, and 1000 for incorrectly report repert ing: the number on board. The Strathatrly, which has landed the filthiest"";pt "of j3hinamen ever carried across tho ocean on our wharves, is. un. .517,000 for excess passengers and incorrect reports, and also forseveml thousand more forhavingher bunks builtthe wrong way. The Altonower, wijich had pestHen'ceen6ugh" on - board to in fect tho -whole continent, has been in quarantine for several eelcs and cannot possibly get out itisido of thirty days. She has filled up one of our hospitals with her smallpox patients. The con signees, it should bo stated, how ever, have agreed to pay the ox penses. But the Altonower, when she has been let out of quar antine, will have to be measured, and the chances are that sho will have to pav something likewise for overcrowding. There seems to be an idea abroad that these pen alties are likely to bo remitted by tlie president. The captain of tho Bothwell Castlp, at Portland, ob tained a stay of proceedings for sixty days to appeal to Washing ton. But we do not know upon what grounds these applications can be granted. Xo such relief is ever extended to ship owners whose ships bring excessive loads of pasengers to eastern ports. If law-breakers are to be more privi leged on this side of the continent, the fact, when known, will com pletely demonstrate the weakness of the Administration. These sea tramps .arc constructively engaged in an illegal traffic. They are rushing in Chinamen so as to ten der the exclusion act- of as little value as possible. They have be sides recklessly endangered the health of the community, and. in a largo souse, of the whole coun try. If their charterers Chinese man stealers in all cases, wo be lieve could be more severely punished, the ends of justice would be promoted. The World's Coal. "A - Feexch statistician ha re cently engaged in ascertaining the amount of coal produced by the' entire world in a given year, the area of the coal fields of the countries of the world in mjiuuc miles, the labor employed in the industry, etc. He has chosen the year 18S0, probably because it as the latest of which lie was able to obtain reliable figures. In that year, only .204,000,000 tons wero produced throughout the world, being 100,000,000- tons more than wen; produced in JSG9. Of this Grent Britain produced one-half, with 81,933 men, each man producing 303 Ions. Tlio other countries employed 731,000 and produced their half, each man producing :200 tons. Tho total wages of the 1,519,933 men em ployed aro estimated at G0,000, 000, giving an average cost for labor of Is per ton. The value per ton of coal in Great Btitain is slated to be (is lid. ThK iivcs a total value of XMGSO.OOl to tlio 147,000,000 tons produced in this country. Tho .117,000,000 tons produced by the other countries aro valued at 8s od per ton, which gives a total value of 01,710,000. It is estimated that these amounts must be at least doubled to gel at the' cost to "tho consumer, includ ing the " charge for transportation and the profit of the' middle men',"So that the aggrogale value of the coal consumed during the yoar in question may be given at 220,000,000 sterling. Xet to Great Britain, Belgium is the greatest coal producing country. The United States and France produce nearly equal quantities. The future coal supnlv of the world must be drawn from the United Stales, if we aro to believe tho figures before us, for tho coal fields of this country have an area of 19G,G50 square miles, while all other coal-producing countries put together have only an area of 1G, 491 squaro miles. Tho English North American colonies have 7,530 and Great Britain 5,100 square miles, France and Prussia each having u little over 900 "whilst Belgium has 510. "With the great increase in the produc tion of coal an increase has been noted in tho development of rail ways and the iron industry. The production of iron has indeed in creased at a faster rato than the production of coal, for while coal has increased 50 per cent between 18G9 and-1880, iron has increased tiljjer cent. Tbis, however, we are told is due to the great econo-my-of fuel which has been affect ing the manufacture of iron. During the year 1S81 about ton thouaaud miles of railroad were built in this countrj', while in tho eaily months of tho present year work was prosecuted .at a rato that if continued throughout would nearly double the figures of 1SS1. The probabilities are, how ever, that from this time on the work will be less actively prose cuted. Of the new roads built not over one-half are paying expenses and probablv inanv of them never will.
