C2U ' PW THE ASTORIAff. ASTORIA, OREGON: 3. C. IBEIiAXD Eclltr. TUESDAY Ji:ly 90 1873 HXA1TH AND POTEBTY. There are in England, it is said no 'less 't Han one hundred and fifty regis tered kennels of foxhounds, "with staff stud and equipments as complete as those of an army corps. Many of them are supported by subscription; others1 as the Duke of Beaufort's, are maintained at private expense. So enormous is the cost of supporting and hunting these packs,, that not -a few Masters of houndfi expend from 1,000 to 2,000 per annum over and have kept such things back. aoove tneir ciud receipts, an ior me honor of the position. The club num bers from one to three hundred mem bers. Each member keeps at least one horse and hack, many of ihem half a dozen. As good hunters cost from 400 to 600, some idea may he had of the extravagant cost of the amusement of English fox hunting. There are in England millions of peo ple who are constantly hovering on the verge of starvation white, chris tian people, men, women and chil k dren, who are not fed and housed as well as the dogs that are kept at such enormous expense for the amuse ment of the rich. It can not be oth erwise. When some men take to themselves more than their share, others must get less than their share. When one man can clothe his serv ants in gorgeous liveries, theie are other men's children who must go without shoes. "When there is one class of men to wliGin expense is no object, there must be another class of men who can vith difficulty main tain a mere animal existence. The same kind of a class is growing up in this country as that which maintains kennels in England, and j-ide by side with it a still larger class is sinking to the condition of the ISnglish masses who can only keep out of the poorhouse when they have health and strength and times are good. Great fortunes are growing up in this country with a greater rapidity than in any part of the world, and The great fortunes must come from the wages of the poor. These are things for working men to think about. For every wrong there is a remedy. The Seattle Dispatch and the Portland journals are discussing Ta coma and the terminus. We hope Oregon journals will not lose sight of Astoria, nor fail to regard this ps the Sea-port, ultimately, for the whole region which is a fact as fixed by na ture as the stars. Let other locali ties look after their own interests. Oregon has her own destiny to solve. It is time, too, that something was done. Oregon is comparatively un known, and yet she has the most in telligent press of the Pacific coast. The tens of thousands of dollars in vested in Printing materials in this State, if rightly conducted ought to have brought to us, long before this a proper knowledge of our own situa tion, but politics and personal abuses Tacoma is not worth the ink and paper being used to write and puff it into Jiotorie ty. But what of Astoria here is a port and a habor to which thousands and thousands of vessels have come and gone the jpast twenty or thirty years, and so .accessible that one man has, in days past, piloted tfifteen to eighteen vessels out and in over the bar, often leaving or arriving here in the middle of the night, and still we find Oregonians rushing wildly aboutsinging "Tacoma!" "Tacoma!" as they have sung every new song of that class for years past, neglecting Astoria in the meantime until they are about to lose everything. It is time this thing was changod. A man must be a fool to suppose that the erop of Qnegon is going to be so easi-J ly diverted from this channel as to go a hundred and fifty miles out its nat ural course t meet ships "on the finest body of water in the world," bordering which is a sparsely settled region, to populate and build up off what may be gleaned from Oregon blockheads. Let Oregonians pull to gether and discuss Astoria, and the ASTCflOA MARKETS. . -Astorun Okfick, July 21.' Fdllowingiis-aiwr-icct list of prices ruling in this market tenlny: dHOCERrES.

BAIN, AND .BUILDER, Is propnrod to fill orders work, with promptness. for any class of race will be a short this as a suggestion. one. We offer The Darien Canal. The latest from the Darien Ship Canal survey ing expedition seems to indicate that the difficult problem has at last been solved and that' the proposed enter prise no longer remains a question of perplexity. The entire length of the canal has been reduced by the latest exploration to twenty-eight miles, the length of the tunnel, to three miles, and the estimated cost of the work to less than seventy millions of dollars. The cost of the Suez Canal was one hundred millions of dollars. If the Darien canal can be built for thirty millions less there can be no doubt that it will prove a far more profitable investment, for the com merce of the world demands an ocean cut-off far more imperatively than it did the other. Captain Self ridge reports that he found the Atrato "a magnificent river, and at a distance (if ISO miles from its mouth, capable of floating the heaviest ships, even at its lowest stage." In its course this river comes within a few miles of the Pacific coast, and the object of the expedition was to find that point most available for the construction of a canal which should carry for ward communication from the river to the Pacific Ocean. This .was done. There was great labor in the work, and Captain Selfridge nnd his offi cers are deserving of the highest credit for their skill and devotien: The Bulletin learns that the Co lumbia river Salmon canned and ex ported by Capt. -West is a favorite dish at lunch and supper parties in Brit ain. An English gentleman in this town has received a letter from home in which the writer states that if the other resources of Oregon are equal to her Salmon the inhabitants must be considered a fortunate people. Our delicious Salmon is happily only one out of a great number of precious gifts Nature has lavishly be stowed on our State. English peo ple are so fond of choice Salmon that the only pity is they cannot taste the Columbia river variety in perfection. Still they appreciate it in the well preserved conditiou in which it is sent to them. To Investors. The Northern pacific Railroad Company has now built, equipped and put in operation, nearly 517 miles of its main line of road through an excellent coun try and along" what is known as the Valley Kouto to the Pacific. The finished portions already enjoy a largo and fast increasing trrfftlc. Tho sections approaching completion connect tho chain of Lakes with the navigation of tho tipper Missouri and Columbia rivers with Pugot Sound, secure at onco a largo and profitable business and entitle tho Company to about 10,400,000 acres of excellent avorago land in Fee simple. , , , . With these accomplished results, the com pany offers, and is now rapidly selling, its First Morgago Bonds, for completing tho construction and oriuipment of its road across tho Continent. After careful investigation, wo recommend these bonds as a well secured and unusually profitablo investment. Thoy have 30 years to run; principal and intorest aro payable in gold; tho interest (sovon and threo-tenths nor cent) is equal now to about iX per cent in currency. Tho coupon and registered bonds can bo exchanged for each othor,atthe pleasure of tho holder. Gold checks for tho semi-annual intorest on tho registered bonds aro mailed to tho post office address of tho owner. These securities havo tho following olomonts of strength and safety: They aro tho obliga tion of a strong corporation ; thoy aro also a mortgage on Ike Road, its right of way, equip ments and franchises, and -a first loan on its not earnings. In addition to this usually suf ficient security, thero is pledged for tho pay ment of the principal and intorest a Grant of Land, averaging about 23,000 Acres per Mile for the entire length of tho Road. At tho avorago price per acre at which other Land Grants have thus far been sold, this real estate security will yield more than SK1,000 per mile raoro than threo times tho possible is sue of bonds. Tho Company has alrcadv begun tho pro-, cess -of redeeming and cancelling its firstinort g&0 bonds, as thoy aro now boing rccoivod, at 1.10 in payment and exchange for tho Com pany's lands.

Don't trouble yourselves, neighbors, TheAstorian. D. C. Ireland, for merly reporter on the Portland Bui letin, has commenced the publication of a tri-weekly paper at Astoria. It promises to be independent of politi cal considerations and, if that policy is adhered to, is certain to prove a remunerative undertaking. It is grati fying to note the commencement of journalistic enterprises in the coast wise counties, as it betokens general progress and healthy expansion of the State. Coos Bay News, The press is powerful when it evin ces right perceptions, honest purpo ses, sound judgment, and earnest de votion to sincere convictions of duty it is powerless when it is seen to he prompted by selfish considerations, by personal spites, by petty enmities, and by manifest disregard of 'princi ple. A Victoria dispatch of the 18th announces the beginning of railroad work by driving the first stake of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Esqui mau on the 17th. The dispatch says: The stake was driven at the south east corner of the dock yard fence, and a lias: hoisted thereon. The health of the Canadian PacificRail way was drank in a flowing bumper of champagne. The stake was driven to obtain a sight. The location of the terminus will be at Constance Cove, it is thought, and was reported last evening that Hon. Dr,Helmcken, the Pacific Railway Director, will turn the first sod to-morrow.
