FRIDAY.
June 16, 1876.
Oregon Anniversary.
Thursday last being the anniversary
of the day on which Great Britain for
mally relinquished all claims to Ore
gon, the Oregonian published a poetical
tribute to the Oregon pioneers, ivritten
by one who has witnessed and assisted
in the building up of American civili
zation on the old north-west coast from
the old pioneer days-. It is an able
and well written poem, filling one and
a half columns of the Oregonian, from
which we excerpt t
Nor glitfring coin of graven mcs wore there,
For men to wrangle o'er like dog- at meat.
None sought to grasp his weaker brothors share
Or sigh for wealth ho could not wear or eat,
Then dues were paid in honest pelts and wheat,
Nor courts and jails, nor bolts and bars were
seen.
"Where were no rogues to steal, lie and cheat:
Nor strife arose, not angry founds between
Those men of old, to mar their happiness
sorone.
The man of recent dato frem Eastern clime-,
Who is so wed to mammon's sordid ways,
That ho doth value money more than time,
And fain would drudge for lucro all his days,
-Sees little in the country now to praise, v
His loud complaint, his weak unmanly sigh,
A mind at war with Providence betrays.
And e'en at times, with rash profanity.
Ho may bo heard to greet these blessings from
the skies.
The Oregonian says it will be regretted
by our pioneer readers that the author
has withheld his name from the public,
as the poem is one which no one need
feel any timidity about avowing, and
many a pioneer would be glad to know
who writes thus gracefully upon the
theme they love to dwell upon.
The Fourth of July.
All the necessary steps towards a
grand Fourth of July celebration at
this place have been taken, and all
that remains now is for the citizens to
put their shoulders to the wheel and
have a rousing time. Many will be
unable to go to Portland on account
of finance and many for want of time
from their business, and they will be
"out" unless something is done at
home. Manv citizens realizing the
position, to that end directed their at
tention and appointed a committee to
solicit donations and learn the views
of the people, which was generally met
with by a hearty response of cheering
words, and no small number with do
nations. The programme will be an
nounced in due time, probably next
week, in the mean time the committee
preparing, and will hold another meet
ing at Spiritual Hall, Saturday night.
Turn out.
After the meeting to-morrow
evening there will be but two weeks to
complete arrangement for the Fourth
of Jul celebration at Astoria Hy-ak.

The Fourth of July.
Editor Astobxak :
Having noticed an advertisement hi
yesterdays edition of your young, but
popular paper, in reference to the aj
proaching Eourth of July celebration
of our Centenniall, the writer, al
though a new comer, is desirous to
make a few remarks with reference to
the same. As Astoria is one of the
oldest towns in Oregon, and carries her
history back to the days of the cele
brated Astor, she should not lag now
in being foremost upon this particular
occasion. While we respect the "Old
Timber," yet, as they Lack the energy
they must give place to the new, and
with a good grace enable those who are
anxious to' advance the interests of out
town, to celebrate the coming Fourth
with eclat, in a becoming manner
It is an established fact that -all -of
our business men here look upon the
fishing interests as their chief support
during the greater jwrtion of the year,
and as a slight recompense should offer
some inducements to the over-worked
and extremely liberal fishermen &.o
have made it their calling, (or other
wise embarked in it for a temporary
reason), so as to enable them to have
some enjoyment and thereby contest
for, and win a prize that may at once
prove their ability, and at the same
time a substantial benefit.
We know no other class of people in
our midst deserving more. Yet while
we pay them an especial compliment,
we also extend the same to oui4 neigh
bors, and all who may heftcr tts with
a. visit. Extending to all a hearty
welcome, and assuring them that
nothing shall be left undone upon our
part, that may add to their gratifica
tion and enjoyment -during their stay
among a& A CitizbNi

the public to his re
