But a short time remains for the people to discuss the question. The NewT Northwest announces a chancre in its business management af-1 ter May 1st. Mrs. Duimyay, its ere- wliilp. nl nrnnriotir linvMiir jirlmittpfl her sons into copartnership, the paper will hereafter be published under the lirm name of the Duniway Publishing company. Farish's shipping office, the Bee states, reports concerning the Knicker Knicker eocker: "That the probabilities arc strong that a sale will not be effected. also that no boat will take the place of! the Great Republic-'' Farish's shipping office is not reliable even in improbabili ties. Mr. Thos. B. Brown, of the firm of IX. M. Wade & Co., Salem, has been com missioned by several merchants of that citv who were losers by the wreck of the Great, Republic, to visit the wreck und see what can be done towards sav ing tlie lost merchandise. He arrived here Thursday evening. The United States steamer Shubrick, Capt. Ivortz, is making quite a stay in this port attending to buoy service. The new automatic buoy wjls placed in position day before yesterday, and the old one brought to the depot for clean ing. Capt. Ierriman. superintendent of the loth light-house district, has been here several days. Tlie people of Walla Walla are get ting frightened about the carcases of dead cattle that lie scattered all over the country. A call was made about the time winter was breaking un, for vol unteers to go forth and bury all the car oases that could be found. The call was unheeded, and now the Watchman calls upon the grand jury and county commissioners to take the matter in hand. That was a sensible girl who said that the I. x. i store of Kohn & Cooper was the place to select wedding outfits, for two reasons. One reason was that all the hoodlums in town could not see her 20 into the store, and the other reason was that the proprietor of that estiblishment had recently passed through that nleasant ordeal himself. that he knew just how to talk to a bash ful girl upon such a delicate topic. The Standard says: Judge Deady baffles the body snatchers and any su perstitions that Kot-ko-wat may have about the great hereafter, by donating the bodv to the medical college. When we consider how carefully Sitka Indi ans treasure the bones of their departed ancestors, this generosity of Judge Deady's in the cause of science may lead to some white men being carved in ways not customarjT, with the scalpel. The Salem Statesman says: A pri vate dispatch received in this city last -evening announced that Judge Sawyer pf the United States Circuit court had overruled Judge Deady on every count in bill of exceptions, in the case of the Jjnijbed States vs. W. C.Grisweld: the result of which will be to set aside the judgments already obtained against Griswold and open the case for a new trial. From the information at hand we are unable to judge of the probable re sult of a new trial, but reasonably sup Dose that the. chances for a verdict in lavor. of Mr. Griswold ar greatly in- vreaseu. Sole from the YFrerli. We have heard it said that nothins could be raised on Sand I.nIkikI. But after a visit to that dreary and desolate haebeen bu.sted b the hand or van- dab, and reduced to ashes in a pile, con tents and all, and then the ash heap raked over in search of ill-rottcn gam The cargo of the Great Republic was nrolmbh worth at least S7..000. Less than S-JJiW) worth has been saved up to last night, hut lot of it has tloated away or sunk. The drift seaward seems to iloat far to the north, all iioiign mere is considerable washing up on the beach between Joke point and t ape IrancocK. We visited the wreck eslerd.iy. Capt. Carroll was yet on boaid Miperintend ing the discharging of freight, which was sent off in boats to wagons at Iw tide near the ship, thence hauled to high j water mark, and then again across tlu island to a cove on the lea shore where it is placed upon barges, schooners, etc.. for Astoria. It is no easy job for those at work. Mr. Nathan Loch remembered his wife when at the wreck yesterday, and brought her a valuable keepsake from the debris. The ruins of that wreck, strewn along the shore of Sand island, alone can des cribe what it is a wreck. Pen cannot describe it. Purser Peck's headquarters on the island were not very gorgeous : but they were orderly and well kept, "You bet you.' Some of the trunks burned byvandais before the guard was established, very likely contained valuables. Thirty-nine of the foity boats fishing for Iianthorne & Co., ( W. Jackson), re ported at the cannery yesterday, show ing that none of them were engaged at the wreck. They returned iKH) iish yes terday. The high boat was sixty-seven. Quite a number of small crafts were moored in the cove on the lea shore of Sand island, tenders to the wreck. The land right up to shore, any that would be a bcautitul place for the harbor of L. A. Loomis, on the weather beach picked up a trunk, all stove in, which contained a lew things and some papers evidently belonging to Win. Beers of Petal uina. They are in the llwaco company warehouse. The Great Republic is in at last Mr. W. Jackson, of Portland having 'bid her in.'' The cargo was sold last evening as per advertisement of Capt. Flavel agent of the underwriters, for 8200, the ship was then sold as she lies, for S1.2S0. Wesley Jackson, of Jackson & Myers was tlie purchaser. An Astoria correspodence published in the Salesman says of the crowds in Astoria during the nights of Saturday and Minday last: mis place is over running full of people; every bed in town was occupied last night, and scarcely standing room could be had ouia oe had in some still left j kindness and . the public houses; and unprovided for. Much noble self-sacrifice was shown bv Rev Octavius Parker, formerly rector of St. Pauls church of your city. Learning that many had not any where to lay their heads', he threw onen the doors of Grace (Episcopal) church, bidding them wel- prime mul fihnnf sevp.nt.v iip.rsniis nvnilod i themselves of the invitatien: glad of such comfortable quarters, in their wet and weary condition. Mr. Parker built a hre m the stove, sitting up the night through to keep it burning, endeavoring in every way to make the place and people as comfortable as possible; and it is not too much to say that he is a zealous christian in tins, as m other! ways, as his efforts are directed toward j doinji good to his fellow men. Manv of : the wrecked have lost evervthins thev i owned, and will be thrown upon the hospitality of Oregonians. I overheard one young lady speak of going to Salem, and the onlv baggage she had to carry was a check' but whether a trunk check or one on Ladd & Bush's bank I did not hear, and indeed that is a matter of more interest to her than you or me. It is generally set down to the credit of the ladies that they were more sel f-possessed at the tune of ihc accident, and showed far more bravery in the trying ordeal than the 'Sterner sex.' It is impossible to convey even a faint idea of the scenes we have witnessed, and must have been seen to be appreciated. It seems an ignoble ending to the career of one of the noblest vessels that ever ploughed the waters of the Columbia.

T.nh.iv rnmoK nf the ends, aims and projects of the I nion racihe railroad ne cently telegraphed a proposal to tlie Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake railroad franchise, that if they would turn it over to him he would iiuilrt tne road m tjim years. What action was taken on the proposal has not yet been made 11 The Council Bluffs onpariel of April ad said: "The Union Pacific has de cided upon extending the Northern Utah road from its present terminus to the Columbia river and Portland, a dis tance of six and ninety-five miles. One hundred miles will be built this year. The surveys extend over the greater iinrtion of the route, ami ur. .Hiner Writes from New York that Gem r.il ttodire i.s nreiiaving a report on it. It is contemplated to start from some point on the Utah Northern, say about the mouth of Portneuf river and buildas fast asthecounirv will support it and county and territorial aid can be secured. The last sentence of the paragraph in dicates that the work of building this way will not be prosecuted with three miles a dav vigor. The Utah Northern is a narrow gage road, and would, we believe, be a Very profitable one if now in running order from Walla Walla to Portland. Another rumor comes m a private letter from Rev. Mr. U viand of Astoria, dated at New York city, March 24th, in wbieh be said: "L had a talk with ex- Senator Mitchell last week. He told me he expected to complete arrangements with New York capitalists on Friday last to build a railroad from Salt Lake to the Columbia river. 1 have no doubt lie will succeed.' The La Grande Gazette is authority for stating that John Hailey, Superin tendent of the Utah, Idaho and Oregon stage line is going to run his daily coaches in connection with the Utah Northern railroad, instead of via Kelton, thus saving about 2(p miles of staging between this place and the Pacific rail road. Senator G rover has introduced in the senate a bill to extend the time for the completion of the Northern Pacific rail road company, which in tenorand effect is very uiiiclflikc the bill which passed the senate last winter at the instance of Mr. Mitchell. Senator Windom has also introduced a bill to extend the time of the Northern Pacific railroad company ten vears, without conditions. What will be the fate of these bills our readers can guess as nearly as we can. One thing we do earnestly hope, and that is that whatever bill does pass, it will contain a provision for the branch line over the Cascades Still another rumor is that J. TV. Mackej, one of the Bonanza kings of California has been cogitating over the desirabilitv of investing his income for two or three months, in the construction of the Seattle and Walla Walla railroad; that with tnat j(ll.a jn view jie wiU x'is-lt this country this season. These various rumors all indicate that the enormous -wheat crop of this coun try, the difficulty to be overcome and the cost of getting it to market, .are at tracting the attention of men who have money to invest. "Before we know it" we will have railroad connection with the rest of the world. AMUSEMENTS. In consequence of the failure of the Idaho to arrive vesterdav. Mad.
