The future of Astoria was never -so promising as it is at the present. Various matters tend to make this but none more plainly than so the operations of Mr. G. W. Hume, who has now successfully inaugu rated the wholesale method of dealings here. If Portland has 12,000 people in trade it is safe to presume that not more than X of them are identified with city holders of real estate ployed by them. Men like ,000 the era Mr. Hume, in business at Astoria, are owners of the soil, and so laro-elv interested that it is for their inter est to build up the city. Astoria will grow very rapid when she anain takes a start, and in the re cent events we think t i we see tne i beginning of the final start. In spite of the weather, which has been bad, Mr. Hume's place of business has been thronged for the most part of the whole time since he opened here. Hum or shower the goods come and zo. He has inade two trips to San Francisco buying goods since the first open ing, he came up on the last Ider, and has since telegraphed three times for new goods, and will leave again, by steamer, to morrow, to purchase more. In the line of groceries and provisions he is prepared to fill any order at San Francisco prices and freight only. He has Irs own vessels, and will do a considerable portion of Irs own freighting. He keeps a full line of ship chandlery, and fills orders for anything dealers want, .particularly oars, cordage; blocks, etc. He sells Liverpool salt at San Francisco prices ; has the agency for various artiflws of ma chinery, prominent among which are Payne & Son's steam engines, one of which is in constant use in Tins Astoriax ofiice, and gives "perfect satisfaction. These en gines may also be seen at Mr. G. W. Hume's cannerv, Win. Hume's cannery, and elsewhere. We may also refer to Fay's wood working1 machinery which Mr. Hume fur nislies to order. One of the plan ers is in tsse at his steam mill in Astoria. "We believe it will run snore lumber., and do it better than any other planer in the market. Cannerymen appreciate this new "branch of trade at Astoria, as do merchants .generally. The stock -.of acids from the Golden city chemical works is kept full all the time, and a full line of turpentine, varnishes, etc., is constantly in store. The bark Rival, now fully due, has 50 carboys of acids, TOO oases of turpentine, 250 cases of Star of the Columbia kerosene, etc. This Star of the Columbia '(150 fire test), is calculated to take the lead in the market. Mr. Hume has oil of lower grade (110 fire test), btft the Star of the Columbia he guarantees, and if it is ntwha't it is represented to be, will take it back and pay all expenses. So with every article in the line which isguaranteed. The effect of this new enterprise upon this city is beginning to be quite perceptible. The steamers that daily leave Astoria show in creased bulk in their freight lists, and dealers tell us that it is work ing a revolution 'in trade generally. IVbrings to 'this city purchasers who never before came to Astoria unless it was to pay their taxes, or n-et a deed recorded, and .in -con-versation with some of these we are glad to hear sentiments uni versally expressive of satisfaction, and it cannot very well be other vise3 as Mr. Hume is constantly in the market, is one of the heavi est buyers on the coast, and has the cash to back his pur chases, thus securing them at a figure -which enables him to sell at the very bottom notch. Text of tlio Bill Relating to Home stead Settlements- Following is the full text of the act granting additional rights to homestead settlers on public lands within railroad limits, approved on the 3d inst. Be it enacted, etc. That from and after the passage of this act, even sec tions within the limits of any grant of public lands to any railroad company or to airy state in aid of anjT railroad or military road, shall be open to set tlers under the homestead laws to the exetnt of 1G0 acres to each settler, and any person who has under exist ing laws, taken a homestead on any even section within the limits of any railroad or military land grants, and who, by existing laws, shall have been restricted to 80 acres, may enter under the homestead laws an addition al 80 acres adjoining the land em- Uuyi1 lif Hirrtul 4"smttr it- ciiaIi " "a vi'a,,HV ., " ""- auaitionai lanu ue suojcctcu to curry; or, if such person so elect, he may surrender his entry to the UnitcdStates for cancellation and thereupon be en titled to enter lands under the home stead laws the same as if the surren dered entry had not been made. And the person so making an additional entry of SO acres or new entry, after the surrender and cancellation of his original entry, shall be permitted so to do without payment of fees and commissions; and residence and cul tivation of such person upon and of the land embraced in his original en try shall be considered residence, and cultivation for the same length of time upon and of land embraced in his additional or new entry, and shall be deducted from the five years resi dence and cultivation required bylaw; provided that in no case shall a patent issue upon the additional or new homestead entry under this act until the person has actually and in conformity with the homestead laws occupied, resided upon -and cultivated the land embraced therein at least one year. The foresroinp; measure was in troduced by Booth in the senate, and by Page in the house of rep resentatives.
