Newspaper Page Text0 tl Vol. Till. Astoria, Oregon, Saturday Morning, March 29, 1879. No. T4 PEN AND SCISSORS. A substitute for wood in the manufactur of barrels, kegs, and pails, and all articles coming under the head of wooden-ware, has been invented in the east, the substance used being; straw or vegetable pulp If all that is claimed for it is true, this invention will revolu tionize the wooden ware trade, as in addition to superior strength and beauty of finish all the articles manufactured can be produced at one-half the cost of those made of wood. Gen. llosser, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific railroad, took advantage of the thick ice on the Missouri river to lay a railroad track across, over which he trans ported the heavy materials which will be needed in the spring for the hundred miles of new roadway which the company has made ar rangments to build during the coming season. It was doubted whether the ice would bear the enormous loads, but the experi ment was perfectly successful. The first international exhib tion ever held in Australia will be opened at Sydney, New South "Wales, in August. The enter prise is to be carried out on quite an extensive scale. The exhibi tion building, when completed, will cover seven and a half acres of covered space, and will cost about 100,000, 850,000 of which lias already been voted by the gov ernment.. The work of construc tion has been commenced, the number of men employed being 150, which is to be increased shortly to 1,500, in order to complete the structure in time. From present indications it is believed that a large patronage will be received, and it is thought that. California will be well represented. A sood deal of nonsense has appeared lately in many of the eastern papers in regard to the exportation of one or more cargoes of wheat from eastern ports to Barcelonia. It is claimed that these were the first shipments from the United States to Spain, and some of the gushing reporters who wrote up the item prophesied that it would result in a large and constantly increasing trade in that cereal with the Spaniards. This is simply bosh. Spain is a -wheat-growing and vv heat-exporting coun try, and in ordinary times is under no necessity of irrqiorting' from the United States or any where else. As to the recent shipments being the first, old ex porters laugh at the idea, for wheat was shipped from this coast twelve 3'cars ago to Ferrol Vigo Cadiz, and other Spanish ports. Roach's Brazilian line has been running for nearly a year without a subsidy. "We have not heard that John Roach has exhib ited his balance sheet at Washing ton. He certainly should be re quested to do so. If John Roach has been running his steamships all this time at a loss, he is a fool. If the enterprise is a profitable one, it is a piece of outrageous impu dence on his part to ash congress to give him a bonus of 6200,000 a year for ten years for making money on his own account. There would be just as much reason for yoting a gratuity to the "Western Union Telegraph company, or to Mr. Vanderbilt's railroad, or to the Chemical bank. The people do not pa' these crushing taxes for the purpose of bolstering up pri vate enterprises that are bankrupt, or of swelling the profits of enter prises that are successful. What Slakes a Town? Kansas Farmer. A few years ago Mr. Ball, having in vented a mowing machine, proposed to the citizens of Canton Ohio, that they should loan him 10,000 to manufac ture them at that place. They did it; and that one manufactory was the nu cleus around which the following have gathered: Two immense agricultural manufactories, one of plows exclusive l3T,one of stoves and hollow-ware, one of paper, one mower- knifes, one of sad dlery and harness, two of furniture, one of horse-rakes, one of farm wagons, one of cultivators, one of wrought-iron bridges, one of soap, besides a large number of others, more or less exten sive. Those mentioned are not small concerns, the machine interest alone supporting 2,500 people. The town has trebled in population, quadrupled in wealth, and the people, satisfied with the experiment, are still pushing forward in that direction. MISCELLANEOUS. AUNDRY FOR SALE.
