1 w gltc Snily gsixwdaa. ASTORIA. OREGON: SATURDAY OCT. 15. 1SSI J. r. KA1XOKAX., .Editor. AdTantagcs of Shipping' Points. Onk of our Portland exchanges, the Standard or the loth inst., is not a Uttle-.concerned about the low" rank 6T Portland as a ship ping point; and while admitting in substance that Puget Sonnd is at present a much better place for vessels to get in and out with car goes, yet claims that the Sound has not the couutry 3'ielding the staff of life to back it; that Portland has; and that the staff of life can load more vessels than all the minerals of the world. And the writer goes on to arnie that Port land has many advantages over the Sound, but for the shal low channel of the Colum bia would possess almost every advantage over that locality; and that Astoria, even with the ex pense of lightering there, is behind Portland, in advantages, as a ship ping point. Further assertion is made that to surmount the onby obstacles now in the way of (and to) Portland as a first -class ship ping point it is onby necessary to deepen the channel of the river, and thus Jrender it navigable for deep sea going vessels, for it is admitted that the larger the vessel carrying, the cheaper the cargo is carried to market. The reasoning of the Standard will apply equally to Salem, Eu gene City, "Walla Walla, or any " -other interior town situated in the hearc of a rich agricultural country. In fact it would be a great boon to all producers be tween Chicago and Astoria if the Columbia river channel could be cut across the continent for deep .sea going vessels. The only ques tion is, will it pay? Whether it Aistrue as the Standard asserts that it is cheaper to Joad in Portland now than to lighter even to As toria, and load there, is a matter of doubt, even with the "lightering1' done in the very irregular and un systematic manner that it now is. But with a proper system of trans- t uortati'on --not ' liirhterinjr1' of our exports from interior points to the seaboard wi think that such exports would yield more to the producers than they do now, under ItUelpresent anomalous methods. But thennain point in the Stan- lard's article is to show that the m Columbia river entrance and chan nel can and ought to be deepened so aa to admit deep vessels from 1& these.a.tJ interior shipping points on the.r ver. For that purpose a "comparison is made between the -' -Columbia and the St. Lawrence, j which has been improved by the lEnglish or Dominion government from Quebec, which place vessels of' any draught can reacli .in per fect safety at all times when not obstructed by ice, to Montreal, a " A "distance of 100 miles; so that ve.s . - J vtels!drawing. .twenty "feet or more .. -pass through a channel where for merly there were but ten feet of water. 4.A6 ' phe obstructions in the St. Law ' rence'were'supposably similar to -rfeatthose now in the Columbia, and there seems to be no doubt now, inflight of the recent improve . uionts at the mouth of the Missis sippi, that the Columbia bar and . entrance .can be deepened so as to f accommodate the largest class of vessels to Astoria and as far up the river as it shall be profitable -..t&rour commerce. There is no doubt that he approaching con gress should authorize the begin ning of this national sea coast im provement, and make the neces !ry -appropriations "to 'vigorously carry, on the work from its incep tion to its successful completion. Heusekeeping: ts. Boarding. XatrJn..a very practical and well-written article in the San Francisco Balletin on the cost of living, that paper says that it has been dem t onstratedjtime and again that the cost of food in San Francisco for A J;wo persons, man and wife, keep xng'nousej.and living well at break- fast, lunch and dinner need not exceed 75 cents a day, 37i cents for each, or $22 50 a month for both. "Let us go to house-keeping," says the economical husband to his wife on reading this, and who on a salary of 100 a mouth is paying $G0 a month for board and one small bedroom. "All right, my dear, but let us count up the cost," observes the more ex perienced wife. Taking paper and .pencil they go to work, "You mark down and I -will call off. Gro ceries' "wnars tne useot taiK ing about groceries," interrupts the husband, 'groceries are food, aren't they, and here it is all figured out for us in the newspaper. It says the cost of food, which includes, I suppose, everything eatable for two persons, a month is "522 50." "Very well, put that down. Now we -must have a house or flat. That costs "525. Then we must have a servant. If Chinaman, he will cost 4: a week, say 10 a month, and white help is from 12 to 30 per month. Wo can't feed the servant on less than two bits a day, that makes $7 50 a month; gas, $3; coal, 3; -water, 2 50. Then there are always a thousand little odds and ends wanted about a nouse not inciuueu in these items, which may be put down at $5 a month." "Hold!" cries the husband. "You are making this thing out to cost more than board ing. You have already got SS4 50 a month down without "the furni ture." And that is just what it does show. Two persons cannot keep house as cheap as they can board, provided they need hired help. This is due to two things rent and servant's wages. A Chinese servant at 10 a month has, financially speaking, a better thing of it than has the head of a honsehold of two on a salary of &100, or even $125 a month. The latter will have hard work (his own and his wife's clothes paid for) to keep out of debt; whereas, the China man makes a clean saving of all his salary $10 a month. In the East the wages of a good general servant is 5 to $G a month. Here, Chinamen are paid as much per week, and many of them a great deal more. The high price paid for servants is a heavy tax on salaried men, and were it not that fond is cheap, there are very few who, on higher salaries than those quoted, could afford to keep house and keep a servant." The moral of all this would seem to be that the best thing for the "household of two" would be to get away from a large city, dispense with the "Chinese servant," which is only another name for a domestic thief, and practice economy which is simply good management. In the movement of specie fiom Europe to this country a singular additional feature has been de veloped. Until the beginning of this year Australia and New Zea land sent nearly all their specie to London. Of late they are sending it to San Francisco. This specie is an indirect shipment from Eng land to the United States. The latest steamar from Sydney to San Francisco brought 92G,KM in specie to that port. Is an article in yesterday morn ing's issue occurred the following statement: "280,600 cases were shipped direct to Liverpool." Of the foregoing number 108,181 cases were shipped on the vessels Bellaporte, Scottish Bard, and Glenperis to London, leaving 178, 479 cases the aggregate of Liver pool shipments of salmon from this port for the season of '81. Twenty-four centuries ago the greatest orator of Greece, com memorating those who died for their country, pronounced words of panegyric which have a singular application to the great American president and seldier: "Bestow ing thus their lives on the Repub lic," said Pericles, " they have every one received a praise that will never decay, a sepulchre that will be most illustrious. Not that in which their bones are moulder- ing, but that in which their fame j is preserved, to be on every occa sion, when honor is the employ of either word or act, eternally re membered. The whole earth is a sepulchre of illustrious men, nor is it the inscription on the columns in their native soil that alone shows their merit, but the memorial of them, better thai all inscriptions, in every foreign nation, reposited more durably in universal remem brance than on their own tomb." The Oregon side of the Colum bia river, says the Union, for about j a dozen miles below the lower Cascades presents a very animated ! appearance, there being at work railroad building at that distance 3,000 Chinese and 1,000 whites. From the deck of the passing steamer the workmen look like a colony of large ants busy on the hill sides while their tents remind an old timer of the early mining camps in California. In a spread eagle speech at one of the county fairs the orator of the occasion said: "In view of these giant mountains, within the influence of the sea, at the gate of the valley, wanderers from every clime have assembled to exhibit and compare their products of the land of their adoption." Most of them, however, came to see the races, or drop a little coin at some favorite jjame. Washington correspondents sav that Blaine is "onranizinjr" for a thira attempt to secure me Presidential nomination. 1884 is a long way off, but as matters stand is there a man in the Republican party to-day who would stand a better chance, either in a convention or at the polls, than Jas. G. Blaine, of Maine? We think not. A New Yokk Herald dispatch from Fort Keogh, Montana, says: New and valuable silver mines have been discovered on the Head of Clark's fork, a tributary of the Yellowstone river. The mines are situated near the National Park, on the Crow Indian reservation. There is but little doubt another great silver bonanza has been struck. Lord Granville, at the banquet given by the Lord Mayor to dele gates to the, iron and steel institute, said free trade had been the best policy for our industries, and though America and France have not kept up protection, yet our exports of late, years have been far greater than formerly. Mns. Garfiki.d has very sensi bly requested that all this sicken ing expose relative to viscera, in testines, autopsies, etc., be stopped. It was simply an advertising dodge on the part of the physicians and has no reasonable excue for con tinuance. Parnell, the Irish agitator, has been arrested on two warrants, signed by Forster, chief secretary for Ireland, charging with inciting people and intimidating others froni paying their just rent, and intimi dating tenants taking the benefit of the land act. Popular subscriptions in any sum are asked for the building in Washington of a Garfield Me morial Hospital. Senator Miller, of California, is chairman of the Executive Committee. News comes from Arizona that the Apaches are jumping mining claims in that pleasant Aztec land. This conflicts materially with "the statement that the Indian can't be civilized. Cattle men are bringing over the last drive of the season, which will reach in the aggregate 1,000 head. They are expected to reach Walla Walla the latter part of the pres ent week. The Free Press says the popula tion of Vancouver District is of ficially stated at 4,500, -which gives Vancouver island a population of 11,000 and the Province 25,000. David Davis was eloctcd presi dent pro tern of the U. S. senate last Thursday, a Republican suc cess. MISCELLANEOUS. x. v. am.i:n. c. 11. twos. Pag P &T AllpTI (hi:ii:km.mr.s to k. h. lakmkn.)
