() NmmnmBvaBaBi A. gftc 1113 strafcuu ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY OCT. Ut 1SS1 .1. I. IIAI.LOKA.V Editor. An Open Highway. "Speed the day when a steamer may take a cargo at the foot of the Rocky mountains and land it at Astoria; then the farmers of Eastern Oregon and "Washington will not be compelled to pay half the price their products bring to get them to market. "We intend to cry aloud and spare not till this end is obtained.' So speaks the Falls City in closing an article on the subject of a free and open highway from the Rocky moun tains to the ocean. So says every one who has the interest of the entire commonwealth at heart, who wishes to see this country assume the importance to which its geo graphical position and natural ad vantages entitle it. When selfish interests shall have been proved to be such by the stern logic of events, when petty jealousies and .provincial carpings shall have been demonstrated to be actuated by unworthy motives, and long de ferred rights shall have been con ceded to a long suffering scope of territory, the develepment of the great basin of the Columbia will go on with an impetus and power that is to the present' as is "the first'low rush of waves where soon shall roll a human sea." "We shall continue to advocate and maintain that on account of the position and the commercial importance of As toria's location, wheat afloat or in store at Astoria should sell at the same prevailing price as wheat afloat or in store at San Francisco, and this principle the near future will vivifv and make manifest. American Bible Society. : ; The annual meeting of the Clat sop county Bible society, auxiliary to the National society, will be -held this evening in the Congre gational church under the direction of the district superintendent, Rev. P. C. lfetzler, assisted by the pastors of the several churches Able speakers will probably dwell on the origin and worth of the Bible, the work of the society, and urge its claims. The work of the soeietv is benevolent and unde- nomih:it Tonal. Its mission is in 'jBorsed by alii the Protestant ilchur,ch?s, and some require the preachers to take a collection in each conirrei-ation for it. Thus thev are enabled to sell all their -publications at cost and give thou sands oflhe copies of the Script ures to the destitute at home and - in heathen Jands. Last year the society supplied over S4,0fK) desti tute families in our own country. The Bible is an old book parts '. of n't' distancing any other docu went about "500 vears and of greaLliterary value, -which, apart from its-divine, claims, is suflicient - tojtwaken srreat interest in its con tents.. Biit'lhs does not explain Us circulation without money and without price. IJoiner and the Zendavesta of Zoroaster have cre ated no organized eflint like this. .Because men believe the Bible to be the foundation of societ3', re" valing the rule of life and the way to heaven, it is sold at a nominal price or given away. But this also is one of the achievements of the present cen tury. Prior to 1 800, large portions of professedly Protestant countries were without the. Bible and it could be obtained only with jrreat difficulty and at great cost. No Bible was published in the United States until the close of the " - 'revolution. It is probable that in 1S80 there were less than 5,000,000 Bibles in all the world, a far greater number -j. probably than were made during 'thethirfy centuries from Moses to Luther. But since the institution of Bible societies in 1S04, over 1GO,000,000 copies, in whole or in part, of the scriptures have been scattered abroad, in 250 lano-nao-fis .and dialects, the languages of . four-fifths of the inhabitants of the .J" world. Assuming the correctness of the statement of Andrew Jackson. "That book, sir, is the rock upon which our republic rests," how im portant is the mission of this so ciety, and should be sustained, eren if we were influenced only by patriotic motives. The newly revised English ver sion so eagerly sought and read is probably creating a new epoch in Bible history, like that by the giving of the law on Mt. Sinai, and the publication of tiie authorized version in 1G11. But of this time alone can tell. A "Washington dispatch says within the last few days it has be come apparent that the Pacific slope will ask to be represented in President Arthur's cabinet; the reasons are obvious. It would seem that the interior department is generally desired because so much of its business relates to that quarter. Among the names most frequently mentioned are ex-Senator Stewart and Senator Jones of Nevada, Geo. C. Gorliam and ex- Senator Booth, Cole and Sargent, ex-Senator Mitchell, besides some others. A Sun special states posi tively that Jones has been offered the secretaryship of the interior and declined. 'Tis said that one of the peculi arities of "William Black, the Eng lish novelist, is that he often forgets what he has written, and, indeed, was once heard greatly to admire some remarks apropos of the Pru- sians in the late Franco-Prussian war, and could not be convinced that they were quoted from one of his own works until the book was brought to him and triumphantly displayed. In this idiosyncracy of "William, he differs slightly from certain editors who, after reading an item forget that they have not written it, but quietly appropriate it as though it were original. In his speech at Tacoma last Tuesday, Villard spoke in plainer terms than at other places. Re ferring to the prospect of Tacoma being a wheat shipping point, he said: "Vou cannot expect wheat to come here unless vou have facilities, in the first place for stor ing and handling it, and in the second place capital to attract it." That is applicable to other places than Tacoma, and, as Cap'en Cut tle would say, "the force of that remark lies in the personal apph cation of it." The New York Republican state convention which met last Wednesday most emphatically ex presed the sentiments of the ma jority of the republican party all over the country in its overthrow of "the machine." Conkling ami Co. were beaten "by a large ma jority," and the spoils t system has received its death blow in the Em pire state. Tiik special session of Congress which convenes to-morrow, will require considerable mutual con cession to accomplish anything. 'Tis believed that the Democrats are willing to concede the presi dency of the senate to the Rcpub licans, provided they can have the secretaryship and half of the com mittces. Johnson and llerifl", pro prietors of the "Walla Walla Un ion, have bought the Morning Journal of that place, merging it into the Daily Union which will commence publication to-morrow morning. The school fund of Georgia provides that the common schools shall be open three months in the year, which is ot bad for Georgia. Chenowkth is now running the Falls City as a semi-weekly. The beer product of California has swollen from thirteen million gallons in 1875 to nearly twice that number in 1S80. Fifteen thousand five hundred bales of hops were grown on the Pacific coast in 1SS0. A Kentucky girl was struck by lightning and killed while dress ing for her wedding, and the hard hearted Cincinnati Enquirer says there is such a thing as a girl be ing too attractive. MISCELLANEOUS.
