ASTORIA. OREGON:
D. C. IRELAITO Editor.
TUESDAY Nov. 13, 1877
'The Fish Subject.
To-day we give place to two more
communications upon the fish subject,
and publish the bill heretofore referred
to, as it passed the territorial assembly
in the shap.; of a substitute for house
bill No. 107, as introduced by the
board of trade.
We have no disposition to suppress
correspondence on that important
topic, but it seems to us that it would
be strikingly apropos to compare
this subject to Banquo's ghost, but
for the fact that for more than two
hundred years that poor ghost has
had to bear the burden of being called
analogous to every imaginable object
of obstrucive tendencies, and in con
sequence of our limited space we
must close the columns of our paper
to any more of it, for the present.
RorAIiern Faeiiic Railroad.
.Some'time since we mentioned the
.condition on which aid should be
given or extended to the Northern
Pacific railroad company. Those con
ditions were that the road should be
built on the south side of the Colum
bia; that money (not lands), should be
.given; that the landsiiow held by
the railroad company, along the line
not built, should be relinquished im
mediately and thrown open to actual
settlers on the same terms as other
government lands; and also that the
company be required to build a branch
to Astoria within a certain time.
These were the conditions we men
tioned, and now we see that Senator
Mitchell is insisting or the same, with
the exception of the branch to Astoria.
That too should be included as one of
the provisions. -For what will Ore
gon be benefited by the Northern
Pacific railroad of a terminus (not a
station) is not made in Oregon? Our
readers will bear in mind what we now
say about this .matter and that is: That
Oregon will rue the day (yes, and
Portland will rue the day,) it even
helped the Northern Pacific railroad
to build up a ierminus out side of the
State of Oregon, if such a tiling is done
m this Congress.
Petitions are now being circulated
throughout the state asking Congress
to give Oregon a terminus. Several
hundred signatures have already been
obtained and forwarded. If the
N orthern Pacific railroad will not give
us a terminus we must have that aid
ve now askfor them for a local coni
panytyhich will build it. We must
have'that aid which the Oregon Cen
tral company allowed to lapse.
Views of si Patron.
We make no apology, except to the
writer of the following note, for the
liberty taken upon ourself to publish
the views of a patron with respect to
the usefulness of Tre Astoiiian. Mr.
Bensell is one of the representative
men of Benton county, holds impor
tant public trusts, and words of in
dorsement such as this, from one such
as him, without solicitation on our
part, is duly appreciated by an over
worked individual such as we are, and
is earnestly commended to the perusal
of readers of The Astoriax generally:
Newport. Ya (i m na 1 J a y.
November i.', 1877. J
Friend Ireland: Enclosed find 3
for your paper. Send it to me regu
larly. It stands next to the Oregoman
for interesting news, particularly loc.il.
You have made Astoria what it is, and
are making a good fight for the inter
ests of the State generally. Every
man residing in Astoria, having at
heart the future growth and prosperity
of that city should contribute his mite
rto maintain the present standard of
excellent paper.
Yours trnly,
JR. A. Bensell.
A tunnel has been sunk some
tliing over one hundred feet into the
coal vein near Columbia city. The
quality of the coal found is said to be
very good, something like the cannel
coal of England.
The farmers loan and trust com
pany of New York are closing in on
the Erie Railway Co, for interest
amounting to $3,000,000 on mortga
ges of $25,000,000 It looks as though
the Erie was in a bad box.
Compressed Beef.
From the Portland Oregonian.
Dr. A. C. Kinney has left at this
office samples of compressed corned
beef put up at the large establishment
owned by M. J. Kinney & Co. Sam
ples of the beef canned by the Wilson
Packing Company, at Chicago, were
also left here. In. appearance, flavor
and delicacy of taste, it is almost im
possible to distinguish any difference
between the two brands. If there be
any difference, it is in favor of the
Oregon brand. It is claimed that the
meat came from Eastern Oregon,
(known as "bunch grass beef,") and is
superior in nutrition and fineness of
tissue to that which is raised in the
east. The meat is put up in neatly
labeled cans, hermetically sealed, and
retains its sweetness of flavor for a
long time. This is one of the most
useful industries of the country, and
it is to be hoped that the enterprise
may meet with that measure of finan
cial success which it deserves.
Learning that the crops of a mem
ber, whose entire family were -prostrated
by sickness, were Jikely to be
lest for want of gathering, the Good
Templars of Starrsville,S. C, to the
number of eighty, turned out and, by
a single day's hard work, saved the
re3uits of a year's labor. Would that
there were such Good Templars or
good christians in many a neighbor
hood, to lend a helping hand to those
similarly afflicted.
NEWS OF THE MORNING.
Puts and -calls in the Chicago
board of trade, .have been declared

The Sunday Welcome pays the
Portland Bee the following very high(J)
cempliment: "The Organ which
make a speciality of telling immoral,
filthy and indecent occurrences in an
immoral, filthy and indecent style,
is fast losinir its respectable subscri
bers, and as soon as the campaign is
over will, wre predict, die of its own
vile stench." Readers of the Bee will
understand that the compb'ment (?) is
well deserved.
