ASTORIA. OREGON:
SATURDAY OCT. 1, 18B1
J. F. HALLORAX Editor.
Salutatory.
In assuming charge of Tiik As
touian we desire first to express
our thanks for the congratulations
and expressions of good will with
which we have been favored, and
hope that none of our friends will
ever have reason to utter contrary
expressions. Tt is our intention to
edit a newspaper, a reflex of the
great and busy world in which we
live, and to that end shall endeavor
to gain and hold the good wishes
and esteem of the entire commu
nity. The Astoiiian shall be inde
pendent in what we deem the true
sense of the word. It shall have
ati opinion on all points within the
jurisdiction of a newspaper, shall
hold to what it believes to bs
right, and shall answer all ob
jections by slating the truth
as it appears to us. It shall, as
far as possible, avoid all personali-
lies, shall try to be- just, and shall
le always willing to concede to
nthers the consistency that it claims
for itself. "We do not expect to
fagree with everyone, but what is
'said shall be so said that it not
only can be understood but that it
cannot be misunderstood, and in
such a wav that those who differ
from us can at least respect the
opinions uttered. The paper shall
work for the good and material
benefit of the city, county, state
'nation, shall foster and en
gage every enterprise looking
he advancement of the general
fterests of the community with
'horn we live and to whom we
iiooic lor supporr, ana snail auvo-
t f i i 11 i
'cate the legitimate development
and prosecution of Astoria's re
sources and the rijrhts that her
position demands. It is our in
m to edit a paper that shall be
clean in sentiment, utterance and
effcc, that shall be a welcome
visitor to every family, to every
reading man and woman that cares
to have the news of the day in a
readable shape, and shall endeavor
to be accurate and reliable in all
statements made. We shall be
chary of promises, but shall try to
do all that shall be promised, bear
ing in mind that while it is not al
ways possible to secure success, it
ij. always noble to deserve it.
Whatever is copied from other
papers shall be duly credited, and
our columns shall always be open
to .anyone who has anything to
say on any question of public im
port or general welfare.
The Nez Perce News suggests
that when Air. Villard gels to
AValla Valla, it would be a sensi
ble idea for the merchants of each
of the towns in the upper country
to send a representative to inter
view him on the subject of reduc
ing freights and to make known
O 0
to him the hardships and disad
vantages - under which they labor
in the matter of delinquent
lroirhts.
With reversed column rules
comes every exchange clad in
somber habiliments; all with eulo
gistic phrase, a sober symphony
of sorrow for the dead. The monu
ment fund is assuming gigantic
proportions, and yet a fairer shrine
and more fitting statue shall be
found in the regretful remem
brance and hallowed memory that
fills the heart of every member
of the human family that knows
of the sad event.
Ex-President Hayes is quoted
by the Cleveland Herald as say-inn-:
"Mv life was threatened
many times. T have a large pack
age of letters labeled 'Threats of
Assassination,' but I frequently
walked alone, for exercise, around
several squares in "Washington,
and faced boldly, on all occasions
where danger was expected,
against the advice of others. The
ushers would generally detect lazy
persons and turn them away, but
one morning a man came to me
and demanded a deed for the land
of the Pacific Railroad, and had
-to be put out."

It is not generally known, says
the Alta California, that, acccord
ing to a law on the statute books,
any citizen may subscribe to a
Government publication by notify
ing the Government Printer at an
early date. I f any person desiring
extra copies of any document
printed at the Government Print
ing office by authority of law shall,
previous to its being put to press,
notify the Congressional Printer
of the number of copies wanted,
and shall pay to him, in advance,
the estimated cost thereof, and
ten per cent, thereon, the Con
gressional Printer may, under the
direction of the Joint Committee
on Public Printing, furnish the
same.
Tiik Pomeroy Independent is
our authority for the statement
that a series of magnetic observa
tions have been made in Pomeroy
within the past few days by Capt.
James Lawson, Assistant in the
Coast and Geodetic survey, for the
purpose of determining accurately
the variations of the compass.
These observations are of differ
ent kinds declination, deflections,
oscillations and dip. "Work of this
kind is now being extended all
over the United States. On the
Pacific side it has been carried into
Nevada and Utah, along the coast
southward to the Gulf of Califor
nia and is now being done from
Alaska to San Francisco. Mr.
Lawson's operations began at
Jacksonville, Oregon and contin
ued through to Portland and Astc
ria. A scries of stations has been
occupied from Ainsworth to Lake
Pen d' Oreille. Capt. Lawson
goes by way of "Walla "Walla,
