CT fo gattjl gufltojimr. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY- .OCTOBER 10, 18S9. AN ADVERSE OPINION. Elsewhere will be found an opin ion of Mr. Rockwell's submitted to the superintendent of the U. S. coast and geodetic survey. The author of this opinion appears to be hasty in his judgment and superficial in his obser vation. The only exact data he submits is what he secured from the engineer in charge of the work of construction of the Astoria and South Coast road. The rest is all assumption, and in making his report he omits to separate avowed facts from individual opin ion. His opinion that the draw of 110 feet h too narrow is in opposition to the unanimous report of the unprejudiced commission composed of 'experienced men who. examined it, who thought that 110 feet wa3 ample for present and possible requirements. Mr. Rockwell furnishes further evidence of superficial observation where he says he didn't have time lo get the depth of water in the channel. Probably, in his haste, lie was also unable to devote an hour to riding around the point and noting the con formation of the country, where he thinks theroad ought to go, entailing an additional and' unnecessary ex pense of 3100,000, if his advice were followed. He thinks that driving piles may "develop a soft silt bottom." But will not the erection of docks and wharves do the same? And, in any case, when commerce grows there, will not dredg ing be necessary? Mr. Rockwell's reference to fire and pottery claj'is suggestive of the source of his opinion. But fortunately for the success of the railroad, Mr. R.'s report is of no weight and can not result seriously or adverse to the railroad's interest The water in question, lying wholly within state limits is under exclusive state control, and the federal gov ernment can not, even if it desired, interpose any insuperable objections to the present course of the railroad bridge across' Young's bay. While Mr. Rockwell's desire to be just and impartial, and furnish cor rect report is not to be questioned, his manner of doing so might mislead dis tant officials not acquainted with the facts. Unwittingly, perhaps, but no less certainly, he has given aid and comfort to the ancient- army of ob structionists who are the only ones who place any reliance on the report published elsewhere, so far as it re lates to the matter of location of the railroad bridge across Young's river. It is often laughingly remarked in England that Canada must have a vast deal'of legislation" to attend to, since she finds it necessary to have fifty-six legislators more than the mother country, and so many depart mental heads that no Canadian out side of politics can tell their number. The Canadian house of commons con sists of 215 members, who draw $1,000 per session, and the senate, which has little to do except to look wise, has eighty members who receive 1,000 each annually. The speakers of each house of the immensely overpaid na tional legislature receive S8,000 annu ally; the Ontario members and speak ers, 56,000; the Quebec legislative council, legislature and the two speak era, $75,000. Then, the country is sad dled with a governor-general, who re ceives S50,000 annually and spends as little as possible in the country, send ing to England for even the smallest articles of daily wear and consump tion. His chief business seems to be not to comply with the wishes of the people whenever he has a chance to show his authority. There are also lieutenant governors of Quebeo and Ontario and Man itoba, Nova - Scotia, New Bruns wick, the' northwest territories and Prince Edward island, each of whom receive a larger salary than is given to tue cuiet justice or. tue supreme-! court of the United States. And as a fringe around tbis circle of costly officials, many of whom are -utterly useless, there is a small army of paid aides-de-camp, secretaries, etc, who have abundant perquisites. The idea of a country fike the Dominion hav ing forty-seven political "ministers' is certainly somewhat absurd. A Safe Investment.

Gross, the barkeeper wbo shot John Miller in the eye during a barroom row on August 4, was tried to-day. The case went to the jury late. E. J. Bryant and Wm. Higley have been arrested for trespassing on land alleged to belong to the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, on Thos. G. Robinson's donation land claim. Defendants allege that th'ev had had the land surveyed and find it to beloner to them. This morning Judge Stearns made" an order confirming the sale of the contents of the Holladav mansion on Third and Stark streets, and 1,050 snares or stock of the Oregon Trans fer company. It is authentically stated that James Gleason, the pur chaser of the stock is ready to pay for it so soon as it is delivered to him, and that will be done at once. Yesterday suit for partition of prop erty ior an undivided nait ol certain real estate in Astoria, was transferred from Clatsop county courts to the United States circuit court The case is John Fox and A. L. Fox vs. D. D. Wass, of San Francisco. The property came to the litigants by way of a bequest. On the 30th of last August, Mrs. Lo retta Henly was sitting in a buggy near Beavertou, when another vehicle driven by Robert Patton, drove into hers, and she alleges that the collision resulted in the permanent loss of her health. She instituted suit against Patton for S7.G00 damages. The case went to trial before Judge Shattuck, and has not gone to the jury yet. Among the new suits filed in the circuit court last, yesterday, afternoon, was one of Dr. Powell Reeves, against Nat. L. Baker and others, publishers of the OregonTimes, asking damages in the sum of 10,000 for injury to his good name and credit as a physician. The suit is based upon an article ap pearing in the Times on the 5th inst, which says that the doctor is no phys ician, but tampers with human life by professing skill, which he does not possess. The article is a severe one, hence there is no wonder that the doc tor feels aggrieved. PASSEXGEK ZiIST. Sax Francisco, Oct. 9.

Only the fiowera that are in season are suitable for hat trimming. English walking jackets are made a trifle longer this season than last. White and yellow is a very popular combination in bridesmaids' dresses. Silk petticoats are now lined with ilannel. This obviates the necessity of wearing more than one. The new felt bonnets are very soft and fine and dyed in autumn shades. dark; pale and neutral, to match street costumes. Cloth dresses are made with tight fitting sleeves, as full sleeves of so thick a material could not be worn with autumn and winter jackets. Golden brown and Ficelle gray are beautifully combined in tailor-made carriage costumes of royal armure and ladies' cloth of exquisitely fine text ure For dinners and 5 o'clock teas black lace dresses combined with Dale vel- low or orange moire in Spanish fash- ivn are very popular witn young ladies of the brunette order "or beauty. An exquisite dinner gown is of milk- white India cashmere, demi-trained and with Greek draperies bordered with a wide fret embroidered in gold and silver cords. There is a fancy for ribbon trim ming on the plain straw hat. Masses of loops and ends are piled on the crown, entirely concealing it. while the brim is left undecorated. New and luxurious tea gowns are sent over made of black or deep violet velvet, with embroidered borders of fide gold leaves. Many of the stylish wool gowns have pretty loose "waists of silk, belted .and worn with Beau Brummel coats that have loose fronts and jersey fitting backs. Soutascbe braids are still highly popular on certain style3 of dress, these put on in rows or crowing each other in quaint fashion. The popularity of the sailor hat is still so great that milliners, both hero and abroad, are using the simple, Hat crowned, straight brimmed shapes of airy models' in-net and tulle. -A prominent characteristic in au tumn fashions will be the increased popularity of the directoire rediugote, which will appear in divers forms and made of greatly varied fabrics. Merit Wins. . We desire to say to our citizens, that we have been selling Dr. King's Now Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never JTandled'Teniediesthat sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfac tion. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfac tory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popularity purely on their merits. .1. W. Conn, Druggist CltanCpyferPitclier's Castoria . Xr to JeSTs for Oysters. Dyspepsia Makes many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heart burn, loss of appetite, a faint, "all gone" feeling, had taste, coated tongue, and irreg- . ulanty of the bowels, arc DlStreSS the more common symp- AftQY toms.

It tones the stomach and other organs, regulates the digestion, creates a good ap- appctlte, and, by thus Sirk overcoming the local . symptoms, cures the"ClQ.Cn headache, and refreshes the tired mind. "I hae been troubled with dyspepsia. 1 had but little appetite, and what I did m ia eat dibtressed me, or did K . me little good. After cat- PUm ing I would experience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though 1 had not eaten an j thing.

When you walk, pray ouce; when you go to sea, pray twice; when you go to be married, pray three times. Women are ships and must be manned. The sea refuses no river. All the rivers go to the sea, and it never overruns. The sea is not soiled because a dog stirs it up. f To a drunken man the sea only reaches to the knees. If the sea boiled, where would one go to lind water to cool it? What comes by starboard goes by larboard. Being at sea, sail: beincr on land. settle. He that will not sail till he have a full, fair wind will lose many a voyage. Unless you have the wind astern you must know how to navigate. You cannot sail as you would, but as the wind blows. In a calm sea, every man is a pilot. To a rotten ship every wind is con trary. What fear would he have of the waves who had Noah for a pilot? Every sea, great as it is, grows calm. A large shin needs much water. Where the ship can go the brigan-' tine can go. It is easier to get awav from the bank than from the bottom. The ship which doesn't mind her helm will mind the hidden rocks. "He who can steer need not row. It will not do to have two main masts in a ship. Better lose an anchor than the whole ship. Good roller, good sailer. Do good and cast it into the sea; if the fish ignore it, God will know it. If clouds look like they had been scratched by a hen, get ready to reef your topsails then. The full moon eats clouds. He who sends a mean man to sea will get neither fish nor salt. Every port serves in a gale. A mariner must have his eyes on the rocks and sands as well as on the north star. Ill goes the boat without, oars. From the boat we get to the ship. Don't judge of the ship from the land. The freshest and sweetest fish come from the saltest sea. No one can complain of the sea who has been twice shipwrecked. He gets his passage for nothing and winks at the captain's wife. The sea isn't burning. He that is embarked with the devil must sail with him. United Service. AIWttE PERPLEXED.
