Czj -..JtV3 " T"H E A ST 0 M-A-Nv ASTORIA, OREGO:S l. TUESDAY v August 5t 1878 trial has been made in England tf'vrhat is called an "unsuitable boat." It is made of boiler plate, shaped something like a flask, air 1 icing supplied through tubes. The boat upon -which the tiiul "was made is capable of liolding sixteen i)eo)le, and is fited up "with lockers, seats and table. The experimental trial is savl to have been successful. Among those who are improving Saratoga and its environs is Frank Leslie, the publisher, lie has" pur chased a tract of land at Saratoga Lake, near Aloon's Lake house, and lias laid out a beautiful park, built a magnificent stable, and will soon be gin an elegant villa, supassing in ar chitectural beauty anything in the .State. The "whole expense necessary to complete the enterprise is estima ted at 500,000. The Board of Capital Commissioners at Salem is composed of lovel-lieaded men. lion. Sam Allen, of Marion county ; Hon. John E. Miller, of Salem ; and Henry Ivlippel, of Jackson1 county. Mr. Allen i: a native of Tennessee, born in 1S05, and is conbequently of ripe age. lie emigrated to this State in 1S45. lion. John P. Miller is a native of Hardin county, Kentucky, horn in 1824, and came to Oregon twenty-two year. ago. Like Mr. Allen, he has been identified with Oregon interests for many years, and is considered one of the hast men in the State. Mr. Klippel was horn on the Rhine, in 1S33, and has .been in the United States nearly twenty-three years. The building being erected under their control will be credit able to the Commonwealth. Columbus 3'rown, the Secretary of the Board, is a native of Marion county, son of Hon. Samuel Brown, State Senator for several terms past. It is evident that the Cuban pa triots are making the best of the op portunities afforded them by the Car list insurrection in Spain to advance their lines against the weakened gar lisonsofthe home Government on the island. They now have posses sion of nearly one half the island, have government which is self-sustaining, and only require a seaport to entitle them to a recognition of belligerent rights. This thev are certain to acquire in time, as the re ward of un equaled perseverance. The moral sentiment of the American people would hail such a result with delight, and our people would be benefitted beyond measure by such a solution of this prolonged insurrec tion. The death is announced of Freder ick "Winterhalter, the celehrated his trionic painter. He was horn in aden in 1SQ6, and visited England in S42, soon obtaining the patronage of the Royal family. As early aslS4S lie achieved a distinction which most artists might well envy. His portrait ijroupofthe Queen, the late Prince Consort and tho royal children, was exhibited by command of the Crown, and was afterwards spread before the eves of millions in steel engravings. The Queen gave "Winterhalter many orders. He painted "Wellington and Peel in 1S50, various portraits of Queen Victoria, besides other wurks representing the royal family. The famous Hoosac and Itfount Cenisj tunnels soldered together would be no more than three-quarters the length of a mountain tunnel for rail road purposes recently begun, in Co lorado Territory, through the Rocky mountains. It starts from Black hawk on the east, will terminate in Middle Park, will be nearly fifteen miles long, and will afford a passage for the Kansas Pacific Railroad, of which the present western terminus is Denver. This route will be the shortest from New York to San Francisco. The construction of this tunnel will save very extensive and costly grading which would otherwise be necessary. It is known that several veins of 1 r jcious metal run through the moun tains, and it is believed by mining these and marketing the ore tho whole expense of the enterprise will bo paid. :"" ... ; ' d faun'- .' Vw. The famous Dr. Rice of.South-Amcrica- -Africa-San-Dje"go-Hongkobgr3elliiigham bay.-Alaska-01ympia-Tum-water-Tacoma notoriety, who has managed to accumu late a fortune off the credulity of the pub lic, and bilge water oil, has been inter viewed at the terminus by "a newspaper re porter. The Doctor was mistaken for the Judge Rice, and the conversation is made more interesting on account of the incident happening that way. Dr. Rice advises his friends to touch it light, about Tacoma. The report is as follows : I tried to find where the depot was to be, and. had been wandering about hopelessly until I was ready to give up in despair when I saw advancing toward mo from among the stumps andunderbriish a well dressed man whose prominent points were a plug hat and a veiy large meershaum pipe. The latter he carried in his hand as if it were a speaking trumpet. As he drew near he accosted me courteeusly: "Terminus hunting, I suppose," he said. " Yes sir, and without the most flatter ing succsss," I replied. " A stranger in these parts?" continued he. " Yes sir, I have tho misfortune to be a stranger," said I. " "Well, I am glad to have found you," said he, cordially extending his hand. "My name is Rice, and I can tell you every thing you would like to know about the terminus." This was an attention I had not hoped for. To be shown around by the "Vice President and resident manager of the, great Northern Pacific Railroad Co. was an honor as flattering as it was unexpect ed, and I lost no time in assuming that air of obsequiousness generally considered proper upon such occasions. " My name is ALr. Traveler," said 1 re information vou may condescend to let fall concerning this future centre of ex change between the two hemispheres." "les sir," he replied with peculiar em phasis, "you are correct in regarding this as the future centre of exchange between the East and Wot, but I would advise you to touch it light at present. I tell my friends not to go in too heavy at iirat. Ileal estate is held too high here!" I was astonished at this, frankness, and determined to find out whether it sprang from real disinterested kindness, or was a mere ruse to prevent others from buying what the land ring wanted to hog for them selves and so la&ked him if he did not consider real estate in Tacoma a good in vestment. "Yes, sir," he replied, "I consider it a good iave&tment whilst it lasts, but having information from official sources, I tell my friends to touch it light. Do 3Tou ''see that building there?" 1 assured "him that I saw it distinctly. ""Well," he continued, " that is Steel's Hotel, which my friend was about to purchase in Portland for 50,000, but I telegraphed to touch it light, and he only gave $10,000 for it. when the road goes on down the Sound it will scarcely be worth that sum?" Here was what seemed to me a very stran ere admission, and I modestly ven tured to remark to the iudse, that I thought it would be very damaging to the company, if it should get out, that Tacoma was not to be the permanent terminus. " The company be d d," said he, " what do I care whether it is damaged or not, I advise my friends to touch it light!" " Hut, Judge," I observed, "do you not wish to see these lots sold to the best ad vantage?" "No," he replied with emphasis, "not to ray friends; if they wish to invest, I have some lots on the hill, three miles from here, which I know from official sources to be the true spot, that I will sell to them for 60 each, on conditionthat they will improve them, but I will not sell them to speculators. " I was delighted to receive this evidence that the representations, which made Ta coma the mere scheme of a land ring, were after all but the spiteful misrepresentations of her unsuccessful rivals, and in my en thusiam I proposed at once to the Judge that he should silence these slanders for ever, and regain the confidence of our peo ple in the company by going to Portland and saying the same things there. " To Portland?" he exclaimed in aston ishment, " go to jroruapa x" " Yes, sir; why not ?" I asked. ""Why not," said he, "because they would haug me at sight." "Hang the Vice President and Resident Manager of the great Northern Pacific Rail Road ?" I exclaimed in still greater surprise ; "and for what ?" "Hang the vice devil !" Eaid he ; "what do you take me for ?" "Then are you not Yice President Rice?" I asked, "No, sirr I am Doctor Rice, of Tum water," said he. "Ah !" I exclaimed, mortified to think of my former obsequiousness. "Yes, sir," he continued, not in the least discomfited; I am that great Dr. Rice who neddled bilge-water and molasses in California for abolition oil, and then did the people of Portland to the tune of $27, 000 in terminus lots, fronting on Relling ham Bay, none of which were within six miles of the water. Rut I never deceived a friend. I defy the world to produce a Turn water or Olympia man to whom I ever sold a bottle of oil or a Uellingham Ray lot; and I dare not do it now if I could, for these are the only places I have to go to." Greatly to my jrelief the boat blew her whistle, and I left the doctor, without waiting for him to finish his speech, which had lot much of its interest since I dis covered my mistake. The crowd having made its way on hoard, the plank was hauled in, the lines were let go, and wo went merrily plowing our way through the placid waters, headed for uiympiR. moving my hat and bending nryself to a right angle, " and I shall be profoundly grateful, Judge Rice,- for any crumbs of r " Movement of Vessels.
