ASTORIA
.Jttxk 20, 1.S79.
The World Marching- On.
Private letters inform us that
the persons interested have suc
ceeded in arranging with a party
in the east who is abundantly able
to furnish the rolling stock and
iron for the road from Salem to
Silverton, and also the one from
Albany to Brownsville. The per
son who is to arrange the final de
tails would come up either on the
Oregon this trip, or the next steamer
leaving San Francisco. In his let
ter to us our informant says:
I shall, after concluding our business,
try to get him interested in your road.
"What inducement would there be (for
parties who are able to take hold of the
road), from Astoria and bring it into
this valley? 1 wish you would make
me something of a statement what will
be done by the people of Astoria in re
gard to this matter, and 1 will lay it be
fore him when he comes. The company
which he represents is building the
Guatemala Central railroad,and are able
lo construct your road. 1 would like
him to become identified, and will do all
I can in the matter.
From the days of George Fran
cis Train to Frank Pixley, the As
toria public have been illustrated
as sitting by the sea shore gazing
.t the passing commerce as it
proceeds to "that inferior inte
i "or" Portland "waiting for luck.'1
2 Neither helping others; nor exert
ing themselves. "When we call
vpon the people to scatter the
f.xts broadcast, that Astoria may
be known even to the "Web-footers
of the Wallamet, wre are teld:
"Hush; it may be used to our dis
advantage!" The balance of the
world moves but do not Astori
ans still sit around waiting for luck?
IIo! ye who are listless and moping,
ttit dismally twirling your thumbs,
Andgloomily waiting and watching
Tor something that thus never comes;
You might just as well, foolish mortals,
Expect you '11 by lightning be struck:
one win nappen as soon as the other I
Don't stand around waiting for luck.
There's a saying a good one and a true
one
(Take courage you poor one who delves
"With a stout heart so braveiy) that
''Heaven
"Will help those who first help them
selves;' And you '11 find, if you wish a good for
tune, A pretty good way is to tuck
I'p your shirt sleeves, and start out and
find it;
lon"t sit around waiting for luck.
You may pine and mope on forever
Find fault and deplore your lmrd fate
I.ut. you'd better remember the proverb
And act on it; ere it's too late.
You may pout and grumble forever
Just so long you will find you are stuck
In the mire of sloth and abasement
Don't stand around waiting for luck.
There is wealth to be had go and seek
it!
And with it get honor and fame:
By the sweat of your brow you can gain
them,
And carve for yourself a proud name;
But fo do this takes tact and ambition,
Persistency, hope and some pluck.
Are you ready? then lose not a mo
,. incut!
Don't sit around waiting for luck.
Railroad Talk.
Olympia Transcript, June Uth.
The president of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company appears
to appreciate the situation, and the
commencement of surveys forty
miles north instead of at the mouth
of Snake river, would indicate
that they have given up the pull-and-haul
dispute and the fight as to
which side of the Columbia river the
road should go. Portland does
not appear to be much taken into
account in its late operations.
Probably because Jay Gould is
getting it effectually bottled. In
fact its people are getting alarmed,
and we cannot blame them. If
Jay Gould brings his road down to
Portland, it must seek salt water
t make it a through transcont
inental road. It must end where
lt water ships can easily reach it
all seasons of the year, without
d'day or enormous expense, and
-this cannot be done at Portland.
Consequently, the road must, either
go to Astoria, or come to Puget
Bound.

RIVERSIDE, REHAI.EM VALLEY,
June lGth, 1879. J
Editor Astebian:
We settlers of this portion of the
valley, the central part, read with in
terest your uccounts of the progress of
the wagon road from the valley to
Astoria. But we would have you to
know that we are doing something in
that line, ourselves; without the aid
of outside parties. From Sidney
Wood's farm, on the Westport
slough, to S. L. Lo veil's ranch,
a distance of 10 miles, the road
is now in a condition for wagon travel..
A two-horse wagon came in with a
load last week and went out this
morning. Settlers are now at work
extending the road beyond Lovell's to
meet the road the settlers are open
ing to Astoria.
The upper valley men turn out
to-day to make a wagon road out
of the old trail that leads to E. W.
Conyer's on the Claskanine. Settlers
of that district are already working in
toward the valley to complete the
road on their district which extends to
the top of the summit. This road
connects at Beck man's with the river
road, which follows the river from
away above Cole's, down past some of
the most nourishing ranches in the
valley, to the forks, where it joins the
road to Wood's and past Bates' to
Lovell's and so on to the lower valley.
July will see all these roads open for
wagon travel.
