A Trip to Orc?!U
Under the above heading Capt.
TJ. X WMttnit, long and favorably
'knovtti Ai Ulie Pac'Qc const, from
HheBiftLfeof Fuca to San Diego,
.pe'n'netew'articlo for the Alameda
Enci'naffrom which we condense
the'folowfag. The trip was madet
by tlre'steafnslijp Orogon, and after
:'a deserved tribute to the Veteran
Commodore, Francis Connor, Mr.
Win ant says:
Columbia rvcr bcr nas qu'ie
smooth.-we crosjou without d'lfi
oulty, although many of the p.
sengers had serious ip:sVngs
about the gret bugbo.r. Its dan
gers, somehow, have boon over
stated, and passed into history, and
seems impossible to remove the
fear of them. The bar is not dan
gerous, except on certain occj'mous
and this may be baid about other
places. Certainly San Fraucsco
bar is dangerous at times.
In about an hour after crossing
the bar we reached Astoria. Here
'we meet evidences of rapid ad
vancement and improvement. 1
say rapid, because it is all of the
last few years, although A&to; !
the oldest American settlement on
the Pacific coii't. vet it remr'rcod
for a Iens: time a sicklv c'ld. I'
growth and development were of
& slow and feeble character, but it
possessed the germ of vitality ."iid
jjrdat strength, and the causes
which, until recently, have opera
ted to retard its advance have
nearly been overcome, and it would
appear that nothing now can pre
vent its -becoming one of the great
commercial points of the Pacific
coast, situated as it is at the mouih
Of a great river, draining half the
'continent, and being the becond
largest in America. Here Ave no-
tice the first salmon cunnerie-, and
get an insight into this compu.ru--tively
new but very important in
dustry. Like the 49er who 'thought the
placer diggings would endure for
ever so many people around the
Columbia river imagine that the
run of salmon cannot be exhau. ted
.or diminished. But the liver jor
fifty miles is a perfect network of
shoe thread, and the salmon th.t
gets by it without getting caught
or hurt is indeed lucky. Unh -. r
something is done by legislation
i&nd artificial propagation, the fish
"that for acres have made their
-homes and reared their young in
this noble stream will, like the red
men along its banks, live only m
history.
But, to turn from the salmon
business, and contemplate the
grand and beautiful river, brings
one to a subject far "beyond the or
dinary mind. It is properly the
work of the poet arid artist, and
since it has been touched by the
ren of an Irvinsr and the pencil
a, id brush of a'iSierstadt, it would
b folly for me even to mention it.
i prefer to leave a theme so lofty
to minds that can fully compre
hend and do it justice.
Turning again to our voyage,
we finally reach Portland, and here
we find a busy little cty. In a
word, it is a little giant, contain
ing within itself all the elements,
vitality and energy of a 'krst-class
or lull-grown city, while perhaps
having a population of only about
twelve or fifteen thousand inhabi
tants. I 'doubt if there is another
- city in America, of the same size,
that comes so near being first-class.
Its streets are well laid out, and the
. principal ones are paved. Street
cars are constantly runrfmg, large
ships lie moored alonir'the river's
batik, discharging and taking in
cargoes for European and other
foivgn ports. The shrill steam
whistle tell of factories, iron foun-
dries, flourrrg mills, etc. Steam
boats, from the upper and lower
rivers, are constantly arriving and
departing, ine public buildmo-s
rare good and substantial, and many
of the private residences are beau-
-tiful. Handsome women, stylishly
dressed, walk the streets with all
' the ease and elegance of Broadway

and-r." mild and pleasant climate.
From Portland my route lay up
the Will.unette valley. Here,' too,
we discovered on cither hand thou
'.ands.of broad acres of rich land,
capable of producing the finest
crops, but yet not half under cul
tivation. While San Frjncisco has
"thousiMids of hand wanting acrs,
here are thousands of acres want
ing hands." The wheat raised in
this section generally command" a
K;-her price in the markets of the
world than that raided in Californ'a
and otler actions oi Oregon.
This valiey, containing upward
of four million ace-, is but sparsely
populated, although conta'n'ng at
prcont the pr ncipal ciUes m Ore
gon. The ra'lroad running south
Yom Portland touches most of
them: first Oregon city, at the
foils of the "Willamette, with its
splendid water power for mairafoc
t tiring purposes; Aurora gen ei
ally called Dutch town a thriving
German settlement; Salem, the
capitol of the state, beautifully
situated, and indeed a very pretty
town. Albany comes next, and is
probably the livl'ec and most en
terp rising town in the valley.
Corvallis. just off the line of rail
road, is so nicely situated. Its
chief hope for the future is in 'the
completion of a railroad to 'the
coast, at the mouth of -Yaqutna
bay. This road will be about sixty
miles long. "Work has alrealy
been commenced, and when finish
ed it will bring the very heart of
the "Willamette valley in direct
communication with San Francisco
bv rail and vessel, making the dii,
tance just about one half of the
present traveled route.
Passengers by this route would
never be subjected to the incon
venience of an ice blockade, which
frequently 'happens to the Port-
land route.
; Takinsr the
stajre
at Corvallis,
after a pleasant ride of ten hours,
I reached Yaquina bay, and from
there to San Francisco, in sixty
hours, by a lumber schooner.
With railroad --and steamers to
connect, the time can be reduced
to thirty-six hou ls.
Johnson and Brown Exccrtterf.
Remark;ng upon the lesson to
be drawn from the execution of
the O'Shca assassins, Brown and
Johnson, the Oregonan says:
One lesion of paramount import
ance is to be 'drawn, and this is
the time to press that lesson upon
the intelligence and the conscience
of a large class ot young men. It
is a simple lesson, but fundamental.
1 1 teaches that no one has a right to
expect to live without labor; that
every person must beware, as he
would a mortal sin, the specious
and deadly fallacy that society
j owes him a living: and that he
; must learn and practice the duty of
j finding support and honor, and
developing strength, worthiness
and independence, in useful era-
i iiWmnnt.

know that the wav of the trans
gressor is hard? It is a proper
time to utter solemn warning
against the prevailing tendency of
our youth to idleness, and the false
notion that one has a right to live
without work or exertion in a use-
ful occupation.
The two veuna: men who expi
ated their crime yesterday decreed
i their own ruin when they resolv
jto shun labor. "What" follow

for, let their end be a warning to
all who would allow themselves to
accept a way of life that leads to
wretchedness, if not to crime. La
bor is the surest friend and best
safeguard of morality. It opens
every door to prosperity and honor,
just so surely that idleness throws
wide the gate that opens into the
broad way leading to destruction.
Archie Brown, upon whom so
much sympathy was wasted, con
fessd himself to be a notorious
roblrsr, and the chief of a gang.
His speech lost him the sympathy
of the people he richly deserved
to be hung. One oilier lesson to
be drawn from this is that teaching
less sympathy for any such fellows
in any event.
