m gfts &ils Astacfaax. ASTOKIA. OREGON: O. C. IRELAND ....Ertitor. SU2SD AY Jaxuaiiy 2G, lb79 Here Railroad Iron for Oregon. H. L. Gregg & Co. have a vessel on the berth in Philadelphia," the clipper ship Tabor, loading with railroad iron, etc., for the Colum bia river, and they announce that the Tabor will be followed by other vessels, having contracted for sev eral cargoes of railroad iron and material, with the -option of load ing part of vessels' capacity with general cargo. Referring to this business the Standard sars: Mr. R. Koehler, agent for Ger man capitalists who are interested in the Oregon and California rail road and Oregon Central railroad, was called some months ago to Frankfort-on-the-Main to report at a meeting of the bondholders, upon the general affairs of the road. Mr. Koehler returned by the Ore gon on her last trip. He confirms the statement, that the bondhold ers had decided to extend the Ore gon Central railroad to Corvallis, ctrom Saint Jo, in Yamhill county. While in New York on his return from Germany, Mr. Villard and himself contracted for steel rails, the same in pattern and weight &s "those on the Central Pacific road between Sacramento and San Fran cisco, and for all the necessary roll ing stock and motive power. The rails were completed at the rolling inills at Philadelphia on the 21st inst., and will be shipped immedi ately. Since his return Mr. Koeh ler has contracted for ties, and has put in the field a locating party, which is now husy in the vicinity of McMennville. The road will fjo by way of Amity .and Dixie, Grad ing' will commence as soon as right of way is obtained. "Renegades Pensioned upon Yakima. We do not know who is respon sible lor the outrage about to be perpetrated upon eastern Washing ton territory, by making that beau tiful and fertile region known as Yakima a sctft of Vandieman's land for all the "scurvy scamps be longing to thc iBhite and similar tribes of California Indians, but of one thing we feel quite confident, that it is -a shamef e1 (proceeding. What .are we to do with four or dive hundred ugly customers like these? We wish we could agree fully with Bro. Hand, in the con cluding "remarks of the following paragraph from the Mountaineer, .but we fear that it will be a very doubtful and dangerous thin? to wait for the settlement ef the ceun . try to bring about such results, in view of present difficulties in east ern Oregon and Yashington terri tory. The Mountaineer -says: The Indians we mentioned re cently as being en route from Camp Harney to this place are expected to arrive on Five-mile creek on Friday next, and as soon as arrange ments can be made will be brought to town or vicinity- These Indians number about -00, biq and little. A portion of them are -"prisoners of r;pted by Ge& H j ;ird last summer, and the others are members of TTinnenracca's band, whose brother accompanies th 2 ex pedition. The advance agent of this circus is our old friend, Jame 2sr. Clark, of Grant county, from whom wc receive an account of the trip. -Mx. Clark has been preceding the outfit a few days to purchase the necessary supplies of wood, beef, hay and grain. lie succeedel in making his purchases at very reas onable figures, excepting only in one or two instances. The outfit c msists of about iCO Indians, two Companies of cavalry, sixty wag ons, with as many teamsters. Air, 'Clark says the Indians are fat and I tieCbElkcM Jieartj, and appear to enjoy thc!sS journe3r very much. While camped on the John Day river he noticed a number of young bucks in swimming. The river was frozen along the shore, extending out ten or twelve feet, and the lit tle fat fellows would take a run and slide on the ice on their bellies off into the water. The objective point of the destination of the out lit is in the Yakima reservation, over in Washington territory, but for some cause it will remain here for a while. What object the government can have in moving these Indians to the Yakima reser vation is more than we can under stand, unless it is in case of an Indian war, the Indians will all be together, and thereby better able to protect themselves. However, in a few more years this vexed question in this section of "What will we do with the Indian?" will be settled, and it will not be by either the interior or the war de partments, but by the great rush of immigration, the same as it was settled in California and southern Oregon in early days. We do not consider that it is any mark of patriotism, nor the part of any citizen, to furnish sup plies to any such outfit as the above in passing through the coun try so lately devastated in part by the scoudrels, and if settlers along the line had refused supplies, or placed the figures so high that the agent of this circus would have been compelled to report an enormous expense in conse quence of the plan, perhaps the authors of it would have been more careful in future. It is barely pos sible that coming events mav cause us to change our opinion in refer ence to this matter, but at present writing it appears to be one of the most grossly ignorant, and con temptible acts ever perpetrated upon an honest community. Were there no lands in California, Neva da, or Arizona, for this caravan of murderous villains. Why are they sent here to become a pest to settlers in the best portions of America? We pause for a reply. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. COMJIERCJLAX IDTIOaf ASSURANCE COMPANY Capita! $12,500,000. MATT H. SIBSON, Agent, Astoria, Oregon.
