ASTORIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY APRIL "G, 1881
B. C. IBCLAM Editor.
Our Railroads.
The meeting of bond holders of
the Oregon and California railroad
company at Frankfort, Germany,
on the lGth of May, is merely to
confirm "what has already been ac
complished, to wit: The sale of
the Oregon and California railroad
to the Oregon Railway and Navi
gation company. As the Oregon
and California railroad now em
braces both the cast and west side
railroads, this will place thern both
under the management of the
great and the liberal corporation
which has just secured control of
the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany, and has a through link in
course of construction from Port
land to New Yoik via Baker
city and Granger, it is
not at all difficult to foresee the
result. Whether it will be to
the advantsijrf or disadvantage of
Walla-walla, The Dalles, Poit
land, etc., etc., is not the all ira
Dortant tome. But will it
be to the advantage or disad
vantage of this Great Pacific
Northwest? "We are decidedly of
opinion tnat tnat is wnat suouid
most interest us. And we are
as decided in the opinion that it
will build up the whole. The
Oregon Railway and Navigation
company are not buildiwg cities,
nor dabbling in real estate, nor
manipulating political conventions,
but they are proceeding, with wis
dom, to the development of an
empire here. They have not
come among us to oppiess, but to
relieve our wants. All they ask
is fair play. They put their
depots where the' will be the
most useful, and they wili regu
late triffs to correspond with the
wants and requirements of busi
ness. Some indignation has been
expressed by some merchants over
the fact that the rebates on freights
is allowed by the company to two
or three merchants in Portland
and one in Walla-walla. There is,
however, no discrimination in faror
of particular persons or firms, but
a general rule of the company
allows of these rebates to houses
that transport fifteen hundred tons
or more per annum over the lines
of the company. This i& a very
proper concession m favor of large
customers and of the same char
acter as the concessions made
by all merchants in the whole
sale trade to large dealers. We
will presume a point. Suppose
three publishers enter the market
the same day to purchase paper.
One buys for cash ancT takes one
hundred tons; the sucond buys for
cash and takes ten tons; the third
buys for cash and takes five or ten
rheams. iso. one saves two to
three cents a pound on his pur
chase, and gets a discount of five
per cent, for cash. No. two
saves l2 cents per pound, and
gets a discount. No. 3 pays the
ruling rate, and it is optienal with
regard to the discount. This very
same system pervades all lines of
business. How can the transporta
tion companies be censured for fol
lowing rules which govern trade
of every kind?
There will be an international
monetary conference in Paris next
summer.
Marvsville, Tennessee, has a but
ton factory, which is operatin
quite extensively.
An anti-monopoly league is be
ing organized, with branches in all
parts of the country.
The compromise between Mr.
Villard and Mr. Billings, rumor
says, was proposed by Mr. Villard
Florida orange groves are ad
vancing in price some as much as
hity per cent, within the past
twelve months.
Four persons, formerly domestic
servants in the imperial palace,
charged with the assassination' of
the late sultan, Abdul Azez, have
confessed that they suffocated him.
It is rumored that the president
has taken a firm stand in favor of
an executive session and confirm
ation of nominations. He has
since Saturday sent for and spoken
with eleven republican senators
urging that it will relieve the ad
ministration of embarrassment by
confirming nominations. A caucus
-will be held to-day.
Stopped tho Paper.
Recently we gave our views of the
strife between Messrs. Billings and
"Villard, advancing the idea that 3Ir.
"Villards success would be much better
for tho country than the success of
his opponent A reader in Klickitat
stops his Astoeiax because of his
disagreement with our views. He
says he went to Goldendale because he
had hopes that "sooner or later" tho
railroad would pass there and now
he stops taking the only newspaper in
Oregon that has ever advocated the
building of such railway as he desires.
Alas for the short sigh tedn ess of some
men. Do you not know, sir; that a
narrow gauge railway will "sooner or
later" be built from Ainsworth through
the only route available to the Colum
bia river below Dalles city? probably
before the locks arc finished at the
Cascades? Can you not see that with
out the Oregon business the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, "nor any
other man" or set of men, could
make anything by railroading in
eastern Washington territory? Do
you realize that the Northern Pacific
railroad company begins and ends no
where? The Duluth terminus is block
ed with ice and snow five months
annually. Can you not see that with
in three years Sir. Villard has advanced
his line almost across the continent,
and that any class of men who will
blindly and madly oppose him are a big
ger set of idiots and asses than Prof.
Hornet found at the temperance
lecture in Glocester. Wo don't beg
for your patronage, sir; but pity your
folly and j'our ignorance. Wake up,
aud have some style about you; comb
that hay-seed out of your hair and be
a man.
