Trie Wheelbarrow Pilgrims.
The fonr pedestrians whom the Taco
ma Ledger has subsidized to travel on
foot from Tacoma to Chicago, arrived in
this city yesterday afternoon and camped
on the company's lot west of the Colum
bia, hotel. The party consists of three
men and one woman, the latter dressed
like her companions, in men's clothes.
They chatted pleasantly to a crowd of
onlookers who watched them unpack the
contents of their wheelbarrow and pitch
their tent for the night. The parts gets
$2.500 $625 each from the Ledger for
making the trip to Chicago by the
month of August. One of the men sends
reports of the journey to the Ledger and
the trip is intended as an advertisement
for that journal. ! On the march . the
woman heads the procession carrying a
United States flag. One of the men
pushes the wheelbarrow while another
in front pulb with a rope. They make
progress at the rate of about 15 - mileB a
day and having left the city this morning
expect to camp at Celilo tonight. The
party sells jumping jacks "and photo
graphs of themselves to help pay the ex
penses of the trip. The costume of the
woman so obscures her sex that more
than one of our citizens had to ask the
question which of them is the woman?
. New Tactics.
The Union Pacific still maintains its
determination to fight the people's
boats, but the company has changed its
tactics and the new tactics, are not a
whit less dangerous than the old while
they are infinitely more annoying. The
difference between the old and the new
is the difference "between competition
and stealing. Last fall the company
plaoed river transportation below living
rates and hired a pliant tool in this city
to buy up wheat that naturally would
have been shipped by the Regulator.
But the merchants stood manfully by
the new boats and starved the Baker
out. Now the company has adopted the
infamous, principle of charging through
rates from Portland to The Dalles and
points tfest of here on all freights
consigned to . . the new - line at
Portland from San Francisco or
eastern points or shipped on the
people's boat to The Dalles, for
reshipment to towns east, by the Union
Pacific line.. George Smith, a prominent
merchant of Arlington, shipped a car
load of salt from Portland to The Dalles
by the people's boats. The ealt was
transferred to the cars . and shipped to
its destination, but the company de
manded the full rates from Portland
$24.90 extra. Fortunately they tackled
the wrong man when they tackled George
Smith, and the company backed, down.
The result is, Smith got his back up and
now he vows he will ship every pound
of freight he can by the Northern Pa
cific. A car load of sugar consigned to
"McFarland and French, Portland,"
care of the Oregon transfer -company and
shipped by the people's boats to The
Dalles was charged through rates all the
way, making a difference of $70 on the
shipment. Through rates to Heppner
have also been charged on goods similarly
shipped to Henry Blackman and Gilraan
& Bisby. Surely there is sufficient jus
tice yet left in American courts of law to
stop this damnable imposition and the
D. P. and A. N. company will fail in the
duty it owes to itself as well as to the
people of eastern Oregon if it does not
immediately bring this whole business
before the proper tribunal.

Effort is now being made to introduce
in the United States a very remarkable
nut from Japan called the "ginko." The
tree that bears it is supposed to be the
oldest in the world, inasmuch as it grew
as far back as the coal forming, epoch.
Beautiful specimens of it extend in two
rows on either side of .the main avenue
leading to the department of agriculture.'
Some of them are bearing fruit this year.

The Telegram account yesterday of the
first brick building in. Portland, needs to
be corrected. .. The building stands on
the south east corner of Front and Oak,.
opposite Corbett, Failing & Co.'s "old.
stand, and. was built in. 1848, by -a broth
er of the millionaire merchant Cpletpan,
of California.". The building on the' cor
ner of First and Oaki' similar in appear
ance, and to which, the Telegram refers
wasbnilt by Hon. Josiah Failing, the
father of Portland's Public School sys
tem ; about the year 1852. When these
buildings were put up a Strong rivalry
existed between the town of Portland
and town-sites all down aiong the rivers
to Astoria. At upper Astoria the gov
ernment, through Gen. John Adair, had
just completed the first Federal building
on the Pacific coast, at enormous ex
pense. It was a frame structure, and is
still standing, but superanuated. This
structure, then the custom house for the
Oregon collections district, gave Astoria
the best end of the controversy for some
time, but after Portland began the erec
tion of "permanent brick structures,"
and Capt. Couch remonstrated with the
government officials for borrowing and
wearing out bis tubs, weighing imported
salt, etc., congress allowed the secretary
of the' treasury to issue documents, etc.,
coveringa "port of delivery" at Fortland-on-Wallamet.
Finally the Willamette
collect ions district was created, and Port
land became headquartere. . The brick
buildings, on Oak street, undoubtedly
furnished the start, which has since lead
on to supremacy. .-
Astoria and Big Things. '
When Astoria does do anything she
does it on a big scale. - For years, says
the Astorian, she has caught and canned
more; salmon, and bigger and better
ones, than. any other place inthe world.
Now she is going to try Wfer hand at
building railroads. Some places, where
they think they are great people, make
a great ado over the driving of a "first
spike" only six inches long. But Astoria'
drove a "first spike" for the railroad
yesterday that was forty fee,t long and
twenty inches in diameter. This is
-mentioned just to give people an idea
how we do things here.
