PJ 1 !! Wtmwmm ilT"W7! gtes gaila Jslxrclau. ASTORIA. OREGON: I. C. IRELAND Editor. TUESDAY June 10, 1R7 fl. The Railroad Assured. Messrs. Robb and Bowlby, the com mittee appointed to make a canvas3 of the city yesterday, in the interest of the Astoria and Winncmucca Railroad Company, secured ten thousand dollars in subscriptions to the capital stock. One gentleman in the city pledges himself to subscribe ten thousand dollars more, and several others whom the committee have not been able to meet, as yet, will probably double the sum already taken in a few days. This will be sufficient guarantee that the work will be commenced, and when it is once begun it will not stop, until the railroad is built. ANOTHER STEAMSHIP LINE. Proposed Opposition ISotli on llic Ore gon an J Southern California Routes. A San Francisco dispatch of the 8th, to the Oregonian, informs us that re ports which have been in circulation in commercial circles for some time past, regarding the starting of an op position line of steamers on this coast have finally taken tangible shape. It is said that articles of in corporation will be filed in a few days of a steamship" company, with G.000, 000 capital, to run a line of steamers between San Francisco, Astoria and Portland, and also a line to the San Diego and other southern ports. The steamers Rio Grande and Sar atoga are reported as having been pur chased hy agents of stockholders at present in New York, and they will be immediately sent out to run in this line. Four small steamers will be purchased and sent out, or may, if satisfactory arragements can be made to that effect, be built to run o.i the southern route. The Bio Grande is a steamer of 25G6 tons register. The Saratoga is 2466 tons. The former is at present employed in the New York and Galveston trade, and the latter between New York and Ha vana. Political Pot-Boiling. California is just now getting the liveliest shake up she has ever had politically. This is the result of the constitutional election last month. Kearney refuses to divide the pot. with the Chronicle, and that journal goes for him. The wire-pullers held a con vention at Humboldt hall San Fran cisco, on the night of the 5th, which the Chronicle introduced the next day under about forty head-lines. We give the following samples: Brute Force. Kearney's Chaotic Convention. The Lobby Packed With Sand-Lot Lobby Packed With Bullies. Parliamentary Laws and Spurned. Language A "Bull Mate" as a Presiding Officer. The Whole Convention Grossly and Re peatedly Insulted. Kearney Calls a Country Delegate a Liar. The Ceaseless Confusion, Uproar and Turmoil. Most of The State Ticket Nominated. "W. F.White of Santa Cruz for Governor. One of the Nominees Promptly Declines. Others Likely to Refuse the Doubtful Honor. A Biographical Sketch and the Record of Each Candidate. An effort is being made to cap ture the Maiizineta for the 12th, and put off the Shubrick upon the 13th light-house district. We give the Shubrick credit for being one of the best in her days; we like Oapt. Kortz and Ins officers, would be pleased to have them stay in this district, but the Manzinett was built upon an ap propriation for this district; secured by Oregon representation in congress, and rightfully belongs here. Besides this, the Shubrick has seen her best days, and should be kept where it would be convenient lo"make needed repairs. -- Mr. J. S. Olark has been ap pointed postmaster at Simumocqhe. CIRCUMNAVIGATED. The 3Eost Extraordinary Achlev ment of the Century. .AJV IMPETUS GIVEX TO POLAR EXPLORATIOXS. One of the most remarkable events of the past year is the cir cumnavigation of the eastern con tinent by Nordenskjold, the daring Swedish explorer that portion of his vtyyage yet to be accomplished, via the Suez canal, beino- so sim pie that its performance may be safely anticipated. He left the Swedish port of Gottenburg on the 4th or last July, and by the 4th of August had skirted the northern coast of Norway, Sweden and Lapland, passed Nova Zem bla and crossed the Kara sea. On the 27th of August he reached the mouth of the Lena river, thus, in less than three months, demonstra tinc: the feasabilitv of his enter prise, for that point had been frequently reached from the Pacific ocean by former explorers. Subsequently he reached ICellett land, lying a considerable distance to the southwest of Behring straits, and was there blockaded by the ice and compelled to remain for the winter, on the 3d of Alav he enter ed Behring straits, entirely beyond the reach of danger, and cast anchor until June 3d, on which date he designed to sail into the Pacific and set out for home br way or Suez. In view of the innumer able attempts to find a northeast passage, his achievement is one of the most extraordinary of the century. His theory at the out set was, that the entire passage could be made in the summer months. The practical results of his success will be to open to profit able commerce vast rejrions of northern Russia and Sibera. De tails are wanting, but enough is known to warrant geographers and scientists in anticipating a large addition to semi-arctic lore. Polar explorations will also be in tensely stimulated. The Yacht Jeanette at San Francisco, is being rapidly equipped for a cruise to the Arctic seas, and is expected to sail on the 15th of the present month. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ATTENTION KNIGHTS.
