ASTORIA. OREGON:
SATRUDAY- APRIL 16, 1881
B.C. IRELAND.
.Editor.
Xore Bml&nss Wanted.
The actual demand in Astoria
to-day for more buildings, both
for business and residences, is so
great, and the prospect for its im
mediate increase so apparent, that
steps should be taken to meet it
without delay. Private residences
are not to be had at any price.
This is merely an intimation of
what is to come. Many causes
are working together, the effect of
which will be that our city will be
over-crowded in a short time unless
more buildings are erected. Ex
cellent tenants aie to-day living
in cheap and undesirable houses
because better ones cannot be ob
tained, and the demand for busi
ness locations is just as urgent.
One gentleman informs us that he
was nearly two months in select
ing a location for his office, and a
residence which was rented on
Saturday befoie the prior tenant
had moved out. numerous appli
cants coming in within twenty-
four hours to secure the same
although not a desirable one.
There is money in this suggestion
for some one, and whoever acts
upon it will do well. The number
of buildings in Astoria has never
been largely in excels of the de
mand, and now it is far below what
it ought to be. Our season for
building is so pleasant, that no
attempt is generally made to get
to work eafty,' but this season
greater effort should have been
made to erect at once buildings
which weie contemplated, and
many more which might with safety
be constructed. Let us at all events
keep abreast of the demand.
If Ike Stocktons murderous
gang, operating in Colorado, were
red skins the whole army would
be sent after them before now.
Ve are glad to hear the good
news for Mrs. Clnistiancy to-day.
"SVe believe she has been wilfully
and maliciously persecuted, and is
innocent of the crimes charged
against her.
The Wausan Torch says the
reason that the Colby fellow, who
stabbed his victim eighty or ninety
times, didn't do still more cutting
was because it was jjretlnijr late
and the saloon-keeper wanlod to
shut up.
Ex-Congressman Johu U. Petti t,
who has just died at Wabash, In
diana, was a graduate of Union
college, and a lawyer of much abil
ity. He represented Indiana in
the thirty; fouith, thirty-fifth, and
thirty-sixth congresses. He "was
an intimate friend of Gov. Morton,
and it was through his intercessions
that the lives of Bowles and Mtlli
gan, the notorious knights of the
golden circle, wet e saved.
Ohio is now the only October
state the vote of which will be
very significant in presidential
years. Three other states, Georgia,
Iowa and West Virginia, will vote
in that month; Michigan and Rhode
Island in Apt il; Oregon in June;
Alabama in August, and Arkan
sas, Maine and Vermont in Sep
tember. The other states, twenty-
seven in number, and all the terri
tories, vote in November.
When Bill Nye, the versatile
western humorist, started the
Boomerang at Laramie, his intro
ductory stated that he would spare
his readers the usual programme
of what he intended to do here
after as a moulder of public opin
ion. He did this partly because
be hadn't clearly outlined his
course in his own mind, and
partly because some one might
keep a file of the paper and annoy
him with it in the years to come
A proposition has been made
by an electric light company, of
Boston, to light the capitol, public
grounds, and the whole city of
Washington, so that even the full
moon will be ashamed to show its
face; by means of electricit. The
company proposes to belt the dome
with one hundred and fifty lamps,
and to erect six iron towers in
different parts of the city, each to
have fifty lamps, so that the aggre
gate light will not be less than 2,
500,000, candle power, for the sum
of $350,000. After the first year the
cost will not exceed $60,000 an
nually, whereas the government
now pays for the poor gaslight
whioh is furnished 155,S00 an
nually.

"Tabular si&tement showing total
