v- Txt ilailB xt&xtem ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY APRIL 2S, 18S1 . lUKLl.MI ...XcUfur. The Silverton Appeal aivus the Standard article, raking Win. Reid, a preferred column on the 23d. The Greeks have for 200 years had a monoply of the trade in dried currants in the London market. "We shall not be the least bit sur prised to hear that the order has been issued, within a few weeks; to begin railroad building to As toria. Tlie da' is not so far dis tant as it was last week. Portland is now clearing her lower docks for the coining Hood. The wheat etc., on the upper docks will also have to be moved soon. Astoria is the only safe place for storing wheat and flour now-a-days. The credit of Melbourne stands high. The corporation had occa sion recently to place a loan of 25,000. The rate of interest was fixed at four and one-half percent, and the entire loan was taken by one bank at i'102. Not many American cities could negotiate a loan on such easy terms. "We understand that the Central Pacific railway company have closed charter for two large steam ers to carry Oregon wheat from Astoria direct to Wilmington after harvest. The same authority, which is reliable, says they are negotiating for a western Oregon narrow gauge railway, which the' will push through to Astoria. At New Tacoma recently, Judge Green ruled that a note calling for compound interest in case of de fault could not be collected by law as far as interest on interest was concerned. In cases where the promise to pay compound interest is made after the interest has accrued and where there is a sufficient consideration, the collec tion may be enforced. For thirty years the poor, down trodden subjects of the Mormon presthood of Utah have been an nually taxed to pay for the materi al and labor expended on the pro jected temple at Salt Ike. t is nowhere near completion, and has now cost 1,000,000. A Chicago builder, looking at it the other day, said he could get rich building such structures at SoiHOtX) apiece. The Louisville Courier Journal tells a remarkable tale of a needle which penetrated the foot of a lady nine years ago and worked its way upward, causing her great pain at times. The pain disappeared some months previous to thebiith of her third child. That child is now a .yeai old, and the other day the needle which had caused its mother so much suiTering was found pro truding from its thigh and was extracted. The Walla-walla Statesman is congratulating itself upon the hope that all danger passed on the 221. It says: "But few knew it yet this is the day that has been so dreaded by the weak minded of Christendom for a year past; all maimer of evils, evonts to the end of the world has been pre dicted was to happen. The alarm has been based upon the movements of the planets; within twelve hours Saturn has been in conjunction with the sun. Jupiter lias also been in conjunction with the sun, and Jupiter and Saturn have themselves been in close conjunction. If all these con junctions mean lots of rain as has hap pened here the last twenty-four hours, a few more such conjunctions would be of immense benefit to the crops." The Walla-Walla Statesman is off the vein. "However much the Ore gonian may bray about Portland, we are willing to wager that the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company's steamer Willamet will never reach Portland with the 3,300 tons of freight she left New York with. She was not built for crossing dangerous bars, but for deep-water ports on Puget-sound." "What's the matter with you, Frank? As the Wyoming miner told his wife in describing the pay streak: Just stop right there; you probably have the right idea, but 3011 are using terms decidedly incorrect. Don't drift for the blossom rock, baled haj' and poverty, till you strike the varicose. Don't keep an eye cm the black diamonds of the bituminous range too long, or you may exclaim, with Mr. NTe, "Alas, we've missed it." ESThere is not now any better news paper, nor one more consistent! v de voted to the building up of the country than The Astokian. At the price of Two Dollars per year it is the cheapest, as "well as the best With your aid and encouragement -we shall be able to make further improvements to enhance its field of usefulness. UffPIAH" EDUCATION. Views of Capfc J. A. Sladen, of Gen. Howards Staff. New York Express. I do not think the government schools are conferring any great benefits upon the Indians. They are, of course, not failures, foi nothing which seeks amelioration of a race can be a failure, but thej are simply unsuccessful in attain ing their object. It is with diffi culty that the parents can be in duced to part with their children, and though they fully appreciate the advantage of a good education, still they seem to regard such an action on the part of the agents as a sort of demand for hostages, and therefore object. Of all the good the schools can spread, not one iota of it influences the brave of to-day. The children of the chiefs and. the children of their children may in time become units in the great sum of American civilization, but to expect such a thing during the present generation is to wish for the impossible. Of course the reservation is a thing of the past. No tiact of country can now be staked ofT for the occupancy of the Indians, and the only way to dis pose of them is either to banish them to Canada, kill them or scat ter them across the continent in townships, surrounded by the in fluence of law and order. It will be, I think, absolutely impossible to bring all the tribes of Indians and civilize the entire mass. It has been attempted in a few minor in stances, where three or four tribes have been commingled, but the at tempt has always resulted in an utter and ridiculous failure. Each tribe has its various customs, which has been observed from time im memorial, and each other tribe re gards such customs as follies. Hence such squabbles which would continually occur, and which would sometimes result in a gener al war. If this civilization of the Indian is to be carried out, influ ences of single characters of worth and integrity must be brought to bear on the savage. Such has been done in the cases of the missionaries, and with signal effect. The influence of the military posts on the Indians surrounding them is and has been uniformly good. The Indians regard the post com mandant as a great medicine, and when he is a good man they respect and love him. In the in stance of Chief Joseph and General Howard, after the chief had been beaten he wrote to the General and asked his advice, saving in the body of his letter that he re gretted not not taking his advice before. The soldiers are kept under control by their of ficers, not alone for the moral of the army, but for their own safety. The Indians always treat the of ficers with courtesy, and, although they appreciate the fact that they are in :i state of war, they never theless regard the men with great friendliness. The great evil done to Indians is not produced by the speculations and vices of the Indi an agents as much as by the while men who are stock-raisers and hard cases of the frontier. The Indian does not take kindly to trading. lie prefers the pony as a means of sustenance that is he raises horses and sells them to the border ranches, with considerable profit; for the Indian, when he de sires it, can be as sharp in a bar gain as the most thorough Yankee of the east NEW TO-DAY. j. vs7 oonsrosr, "Wholesale agent for the RED CROWN FLOUR Made by the new ptoeess.
