(Z) Jpic $a;ilB gtaAau. ASTORIA. OREGON: TVEDNESDAT. APRIL 20, 18S1 &.C.IRELOD. .Editor. A Giant Monopoly. Only a few months ago. Silver ton, Marion county, was out of the world upon its knees begging for capitalists to come and build them a railroad. -By perseverance the railroad was speedily pushed on to cbmpietion and Silverton made happy. But u we may presume to judge by the following para graph from the Appeal, they begin to regard it as a monopoly about to grind them to impalpable fine ness by its extortiens: The traveler is charged seventy five cents for riding on the nairow gauge road from Silverton to Woodburn, a distance of ten miles. The company recently charged $7 50 freight on three sewing machines from Portland to this place. These rates are largely in excess of those charged by the wide gauge, and eveiy able bodied citizen along the lino ought to kick against the extortion and howl too, for that matter. AVe hear of much complaint regarding such outlandish charges, and the company will lose by the opera tion unless it comes down on its tariff. Kick against the cxtoi tion and howl too for what are railroads built if not to be cussed? A riienonienoii and a Tl'eory. A correspondent of the London Nature, writing- from Putney, says: "Having occasion to go into my garden about half-past ten o'clock one night recently, 1 found there was a tmcK wiuie log, inrougn which, however, a star could be seen here and there. 1 had an ordinary bedroom candle-stick in ray hand, with a candle lighted, in order to find the object I wanted. To my great surprise, 1 found that the lighted candle projected a fan tastic image of myself on the fog, the shadow being about twelve feet high, and of an oddly distorted character, just as the Spectre of the Brocked is said ro be. May not the gigantic spirits of the Ossianic heroes, whose form is com posed of a mist, through which the stars can be seen, be derived from the fantastic images thrown upon the mountain fogs fiom the camp fires of the ancient Greek? In a land where mists abound super stitious people might very readily come to consider a mocking cloud spectre to be supernatural, though it was really their own image magnified. The work for the pioposed tunnel from Dover to Calais have made such satisfactory progress that its promotes? Colonel I3eau ,rnrat, R. E. and Captain English, R. E., are now able to employ three shifts of men constantly throughout the twenty-four hours, and are sanguine of being able to bore about thiity feet per day when all the machinery is perfect ed. At present two drills worked by engines driven by compressed air are at work, and about thirty laborers are employed. The bore is seven feet in diameter, and the soil chalk. It is so firm that the engineers are of the opinion that no brick or cement work will be required to shore it up. This country produces 450,000 watches in a jTear, and evidently does not mean to be knocked out of time. The estimated value of the pro duet of raisins in California during the coming season is 150,000 to $200,000. During the winter 334 cars of beef cattle have been shipped from Reno to California. Estimating the cattle to be worth thirty-two dollars and fifty cents per head, the sales aggregate $277,000. The Yanderbilt Insurance com pany is about to be started in New Fork, with a capital of five mil lions of dollars, .fay Gould will soon have to turn his attention to running insurance companies, that he may find employment for some of his surplus capital. A firm at Dundee, Scotland, contemplate establishing at Min neapolis in the early future a large manufactory for the purpose of supplying the American market burlaps and expoit bags. The firm has ample capital, and are now engaged in the same business in Scotland. This is one of the many straws that show the strength of the current of flouf and grain irts abroad. The naughty Detroit Free Press thinks Mr. Kirkwood doesn't know whether the Poncas are an Indian tribe or a minstrel troupe. They're neither. They are land locators. Senator David Davis in enthusi astically mentioned by a Massa chussets paper as being "as inde pendent as a hog on ice." That is to say, if he can't run he can slide. The Albany Argus says: "None but girls in their teens wear very short skirts." If you mean to say that Emily Soldene and Pauline Markham are in their teens, we have our opinion of you.
