Railroad Iron Cominj?.
A New York dispatch of December
20th, in speaking of freights and
markets, conveys th2 following infor
mation, which will be news to our
readers: "Much excitement was
created in the market to-duy when it
became known tliat a lot of railroad
iron and trimmings, upward of 3600
tons, for the Northern Pacific railroad,
wonlftgo forward from Philadelphia
direct to Astoria, instead of being
parcelled up among the regular liner.
This iron has been in the market
for several days and much opposi
tion has existed for it, and one
agent, who seemed to think that he
was positive of getting the freight,
went so far as to order his ships to
prepare to receive it. However, the
freight was taken by Gregg & Co., of
Philadelphia, who have chartered two
vessels, Eric the Red, and the Em
pire, to cany it forward. Tonnage is
in fair supply, bt the lines are
not ldly off add not anxious
about the future; however, they
do not fail to accept any vessel
that is offered ?t reasonable terms.
The latest ongrgcinents are those just
mentioned and the M. P. Grace, 192S
tons, and the St. David, 1396 tons,
both at this port with general cargo.
The two last vessels wore taken in
niiticipa&on of getting the lot of rail
road iron mentioned above.
Friends of Rev. J. G. Purchetfc,
formerly of the First Baptist church
of Astoria, but at present principal of
the Mcjlinnvillccollege, will bepleasod
to learn that on the 5th his bettor
half presented him with a daughter.
Mi's. M. A. Mofiett, sister to the
late Dr. C. J. Trenchard of this city,
and Air. Charles Moffett, her son, are
en route to this city on a visit to Mis.
Trenchard and family, from Baltimore,
Jiaving left Tev York on the 31st
ult., via Panama. They expect to
reach Astoria about the 31-fit inst.
The iron and rolling stock for the
first ten miles of the Yaquina bay
narrow gauge railroad has been con
tracted for and will be shipped from
New York on or before the 20fcli of
this month, around the Horn on a
sailing vessel, and will arrive in San
Francisco about the first, of May. Id
will then come up by steamer. Extra
exertions will be put forth to have the
road finished to Philomath by the
fourth of July, 3 879.
Capt. Scott, of Salem, has re
turned from a brief visit -to Iowa.
With ice on the Missouri river fifteen
to twenty inches thick, and the wind
blowing cold enough to freeze the
limbs oil' the oak grubs, and corn at
thirteen cents per bushel, wheat fifty
cents, and pork at two cents per
pound, make Iowa and Nebraska
good states for farmers to emigrate
from, and in the eyes of Scott it is
an unpardonable sin to be discontented
in Oregon.
It is the opinion of Col. Gillespie
and others who have observed the
movement of the bars at the mouth
of the Columbia,vthat in a few years
at -most the main channel will be
between Sand island and what is
known as the middle sands. The
bar across this channel is gradually
waahing out, and light-draft coasters
now occasionally come in that way,
thevater being thirteen feet at low
tide. This channel is almost straight
from the southeastern point of Sand
island, and should the depth become
great enough in it for steamers, the
terror of the Columbia river bar will
entirely disappear.
A new military rpost has been J
located in Kittitas valley, about 30
miles west of Priest Rapids. The
location is said to be beautiful, with
plenty of wood and water convenient.
The Indians formerly belonging to the
Malheur agency, and who were taken
I Prisoners or war last summer and tore
been kept at Camp Harney since, -are
now on their way to Yakima innerva
tion, having loft Camp Harney on the
1st. They are traveling 03 slow stages,
in government wagons and on foot.
They number about 7nn mm wnmon

The Standard reports the British
ship Lupota and the British bark Edith
Loon as having arrived at European
ports from Portland. The Standard
is mistaken. The first was the Lupata
and the latter the Edith Lorn. N either
of them were from Portland; both
loaded at Astoria, last summer and
fall.
a
The Salem', Astoria, Springfield
and Winnemucca narrow gauge rail
road committee in Salem have started
the ball to rolling. The Salem Flour
ing Mill company headed the list with
a subscription of Four Thousand
Dollars. The people of Salem will
not fail to do their part in making the
proposed enterprise a success. Our
citirens realize the importance of the
work, and should now move in the
matter thus so ausuiciously begun.
We have refrained from -makin-any
mention of the Kilkennv-cat fiht
going on in Astoria it is painful to
refer to it, in airy manner. There is
not a town or city of note jn Oregon
or Washington territory but shows
positive signs of advancement. As
toria alone appears to be hampered,
and her progress stayed by load quar
rels. While at every other city in this
state and adjacent territory there seems
to be unit' of action among the people,
here at Astoria everybody is working
at cross-purposes. It is not the cor
rect way to build up a city. Let us
have peace and harmony of action,
eke give up the hope of legitimate ad
vancement altogether.
