m tShe gatttj itotfm " astokia. Oregen: FRID VY. FEBKUAUY 18. 1S37 The legislature adjourns to-da. Who says Friday is an unluckv day! " . It is estimated ihat fully 12,000 -.rniiesmf new railto-id will be built jn this country in 1887. Upper Astoria is reported short on goats this winter. The goat crop-is said to be a failure all over northwestern Oresron. Tiie mineral product of the United States for 1885 was $428, 52i;35G. The product of coal was valued at 159,019,590. The new state department at Washington has 150 rooms and cost $5,000,000. The new war de partment has 173 rooms and cost .2,5OOO0O. Towxs along the Canadian Pa cific, at the base of the Rocky mountains, have been snowed up for several days, with the ther mometer 50 below zero. Everybody in the state except the Oregon Pacific lobby, is glad that the O. R. & N. lease to the Union Pacific railroad has been made possible by the legislature. About the only thing that ap pears certain regarding the pres ent session of congress and Wash ington territory is that our friends across the river will not vote for president next year. It was reported in January that General Anderson, of the North ern Pacific railroad, was about to visit Astoria. Just when was not stated. Just what the visit was to be forjis similarly indistinct. Up to the present writing no "combination," musical, tragical, operatic, or otherwise, is reported bothering our local theatrical man agers or trying to establish dates and contracts that are all on one side. "For this relief much thanks." Jake Sharp, of New York, whose name and nature are alike, is worth $10,000,000. New York is divided in opinion as to what should be done with him. One half the city wants to send him to Sing Sing, and the other half say he should be in the U. S. senate. With the Daxtn heard from, the electric lights placed and the legislature adjourned it will be difficult to dig up much to talk about until the annualjhitch regard ing the capture of the salmon. The water question is coming to the front, and may fill up a dull week ad interim. The S. F. Call and Chronicle are having a renewal of their old Vow about circulation. The Chron icle has the best of the argument and the Call wisely refuses to knock the chip off its opponent's shoulder. Circulation is what ad vertisers want, and that's what the Chronicle has. For the sake of those who are compelled to be out after 6:30 P. m., it is sincerely to be hoped that the electric lights will not be run on a moonlight schedule, but will be trimmed and burning when most needed. N. B. The time when a street light is most needed is on a dark night. People who are disposed to grumble at the session of the legis lature which closes to-day should take the good the gods provide and say nothing. Things might be worse. Suppose there was to be an extra session, as in some states! Then, indeed, would be cause for loud regret. Portland journals exultingly announce to an expectant world that the dog killer of that burg has killed 718 dogs in the last six months. This is indeed a proud record. The position of Portland's dog killer, if worth current As toria figures, is financially prefera ble to that of governor. ; Since the dynamite explosion in the San Francisco theater the other night, a good many San Franciscans have let go their grip on belief in special Providence and ask that the churches be guard ed whither they go to pray. Which the same suggests dimin ished trust in their own worth and the jj&tice of their plea. The Orejonian states that the arrival of a vessel in the river cre ates great excitement in the inland city of Portland, and that the butchers, bakers, boarding house men, bumboat women and other representatives of industry on the Willamette are strangely moved at the news. Nothing so stirs the web-foot metropolis as the news of probable harvests on land or sea. Oregox has reason to be proud of her two senators and her con gressman. She can with truth say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servants." By hard work, personal energy and unre mitting effort they have secured substantial benefit to our state, and have, withal, preserved Ore gon's dignified standing in the halls of the national legislature. The members- of the Colorado legislature are angry and disgust ed. No railroad has offered to bribe them this session. Of course they would have been virtuous and would have waved away the glittering and seductive gold ; but they have even been denied the pleasure of an opportunity for re fusal. Those mean Colorado news papers say that no bribe was offer ed them because they were not worth buying; but that's always the way with those confounded newspapers. The daily dispatches still tell about war possible, probable or imminent in Europe. The afore said dispatches have a chestnut flavor. Folks over this way would like to have the old world nations either uht or shut up. This eter nal jawing is grannyish. The whole business boiled down amounts to this: Germanv will fight France whenever she thinks she can whip her, and France is eager to try to get back Alsace and Loraine. Probably a little wholesome fighting would be bet ter than all this shaking of fists and making of faces. It would certainly be more dignified. Ix a recent issue the Arizona Hoiclcr says : "We have received from John Smallwart of Grab Hol low the following nete: 'Inclosed please find 50 cents, for which per your premium offer in last week's issue send me your valuable paper lor one year, and also one sewing machine with latest improvements one oil painting of the president and family, one barrel of flour, XXXXXX preferred, and one complete guide to poker.5 In his eagerness to send us his wealth, Mr. Smallwart forgot to notice that in addition to the above valu able premium, we also send to our new subscribers a deed f6r a cor ner lot in Dead Man's Gulch.
