cliff with Mr. John liobson, about
two hundred feet, to watch the seining,
at Fort Canby yesterday, we were
greatly disappointed, as the seine was
snagged and only one fish (a large
pogie) bagged. But as Major Mor
ris famous bird dog caught that fish
several times, to the amusement of
the spectators, it v. as something; and

The Excursion Ycstcrdaj'.
The excursion to sea yesterday,
given by Capt. Flavel as a compliment
to Senator Coclnane, was a very de
lightful one. The party numbered
some szteen persons. The steamer
Columbia, Capt. Eric Johnson, was
used to nnke the trip to sea from As
toria to Fort Canby, and returning,
the steamer C. J. Brenham, Capt.
Geo. C. Flavel, was used from Canby
home, leaving the Columbia to take
her place on the pilot station. Among
the persons on board we not'eed Com
missioner John llobson, Prof. W. L.
Worthington, Major C. II. Page,
Senator Fulton, Mr. Foley as repre
sentative of the Standard, Messrs.
Caniield, Badollet, Dr. Kinsey, Gnu,
Bunhar. The Automat ic 011113' passed,
the vessels prow was turned northward
and came in by way of the north
channel. Landing at Fort Canbv the
party were entertained by Major
bourgeon, Maj. Alorrs, Dr. Weisel,
Mr. Fennon, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Da
vis, Mr. Allen, and others, visiting
the light-house, the seining grounds,
life saving station, magazine, etc., and
after about two hours debght fully
spent went on lMmrd the Canby, where
luncheon was partaken of and then
set out for Astoria. The scenes
which one meets with at this season
of the year on such an excur
sion are inexpressibly leautnSil,
no country in the world can sur
pass it for the loveliness of water
scape. The fine old snow capped
Mount St. Helen looks grand from
the sea; and the hills, ever lovely, are
far handsomer watched from the deck
of a vessel. All this, and far more
than feeble pen cai picture, may be
seen on days such as this about As
toria, and our guet feels well repaid
for his detention to take it in, and
better than ever understands the sit
uation hereabout. Capt. Flavel took
Mr. Cochrane to the Upper town in a
carriage to visit Gen. Adair and to
day he leaves Astoria for his home in
Lane county.
Harbor of Rofajro.
At a meeting of the Portland Board
of Trade dune llth, as an answer to a
letter from the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce asking what action the
board had taken or proposed to take
toward securing the selection of the
Columbia river for the harbor of ref
uge, Mr. V. S. Newbury proposed
the following resolution, which was
adopted unanimeusly:
That the president and secretary be
directed to ask the board of engineers to
visit Oregon and Washington territory,
and to prepare such information for
their use as shows the advantages of Co
lumbia river bar for a harbor of refuge,
and if they are not to come to Oregon,
that the president of this bonnl be auth
orized to aupoint a member of this
board to visit the board of engineers at
San Francisco, in company with a mem
ber of the Astoria Chamber of Coin
incrce.
A Political Muddle.
J. J. Whitney, the prosecuting at

has caused Gov. Thayer to issue his
proclamation announcing the appoint

on the cars yesterday and says he in

that as the Governor has not conduct
ed affairs to his satisfaction he ap
points S. W. McDowell, of Salem,
executive in his stead. "When Mc
Dowell hears of this he will go to
Rocky Earhart to demand his official
certificate and a quarter's )&y in ad

From the IhlUoro Independent
The rumor that came here from
Portland but not through the Port
land papers, that Jay Gould had
bought the railways in western
Oregon and this grasping and in
domitable capitalist intended to
build a railway to the Pacific coast
at once, is now confirmed from an
article in the Boise Statesman,
which says that Gould and the
Union Pacific who secured control
of these valley roads own a steam
ship line between Portland and
San Francisco, and have establish
ed depots in Portland, and that
the Union Pacific has determined
to cut loose from all dependence
on the Central Pacific which has
broken their old agreement of
having but one trans-continental
road by extending their road
on their southern route
through Arizona. Jay Gould and
the Union Pacific propose now to
extend their road to this coast and
will build one hundred miles of
road this way from Eagle-rock on
Snake river this season, and thence
as rapidly as possible to the coast,
so as to tap the Idaho and upper
Columbia trade before the North
ern Pacific.
It is now known that the North
ern Pacific will not build its road
down the Columbia, but run it over
the Cascades to some point on Pu-get-sound,
Tacoma pretty cer
tainly, where it will build up a
large city on its own lands and at
tempt to wrest the China trade
from San Francisco, which if! may
be able to do, as their line is a
thousand miles nearer than the
present route via San Francisco to
the east.
The statesman sas that it is
probable that the Utah Northern
will also be built into Montana in
addition to the line from Eagle
rock so as to tap the Idaho and
Montana trade and take it away
from the Northern Pacific. And
there is some talk of the Central
Pacific building a road to the head
of the "Wallamet valley from Win
nemucca, to connect with the pro
posed Pengra road, thence to Port
land. Now if the Central Pacific would
put a line through from Winne
mucca to Eugene city, thence down
the west-side to Astoria, says the
Independent, it could successfully
compete with Jay Gould and the
Northern Pacific for the metropo
lis of the north. At the same time
it would get the valuable land
subsidy voted to the McMinnville
railroad, which is worth millions,
even for its timber and coal beds.
And into the contest among the
three points (Astoria, Tacoma and
Portland) for the mastery, Portland
would not have a ghost of a chance
while Tacoma in any event could
not hope to overshadow her rapidly
growing rival at the mouth of the
Columbia.
But, if the Central Pacific should
not build to Astoria, it is probable
that Jay Gould will extend the
west-side road to that point to save
the valuable land subsidy, so that
we shall have connection by the
west-side with deep sea water.
Thus the people of Oregon, and
the west-side counties in particu
lar, have bright prospects in the
future.
