ASTORIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY! OCT. 20, 1881
J. F. HAM.ORA.V. Editor.
As Otbcrs See Us.
Among the probabilities of the
near future is a railroad from the
Willamette valley to Astoria. The
many obstacles -to successful navi
gation of the'Columbia river from
Astoria to Portland will be the
cause which will effect the build
ing of a railroad Jo the sea-board.
Villard is largely interested in
Portland it is true,. to the extent
of thousands of dollars, but one of
these fine days he will unload his
property interests there at a fabu
lous figure, and then, good bye to
Portland's greatness." The people
of Portland wrongly imagine that
Villard will make that place the
chief city on the coast, but the
great railroad., magnate is not so
silly as all that. He understands
tile "value of a seaport town over
an interior town, accessible only
to light draught ships, and knows
that he underwriters do not care
tQ -run a. 'gauntlet 'of dangerous
sand-bars in .order to get produce
which could be purchased at lower
rates at the .sea-board. Astoria is
a good harbor. There ships of
deep draught can safely ride at
"anchor, and instead of the govern
ment spending millions of dollars
in dredging the lower Columbia
for large yessels, why not improve
the Columbia bar? The position
of Albany on the Hudson and New
York city, a great port of entry,
and Portland and Astoria are par
allel cases, and we leave the in
telligent reader to cogitate on the
future. A railroad to Astoria is
loudly clamored for by the farmers
of the Willamette valley, and we
have before cited the good results
to follow from such an enterprise.
Silverton Appeal.
The Tailroad will come in time.
What we wanfnow is to have the
bar so improved that vessels of an'
draught may safely come to the
docks 'here. That is the text for
present discourse. .
"Little Bars."
The Oregonian in its issue of
the 18th has an article on river
improvement, upon which this pa-
per has.already commented. The
article referred ' to is, in the main,
very fair, but in the following ex
cerplls'a little ambigueus:
"Government has undertaken to
buildiai dredge to remove a couple
ofJEmle bars , below Portland.
TheHwprk to be done is quite
trifling. Excavation of a few
thousand jTirds of. mud, which
could be accomplished in three
weeks, time-by any .efficient ma
chine, would suffice for the present,
and vessels.. could pass without
difficulty or detention." Accept
ing the above as correct as far as
it goes the objection we make is
that it is calculated to impress
outside! readers with the belief
that that is all; that if those
"coupletlot little '.bars" were re
.moved that .steamers and sailing
. 4vesjselsjg;ould..get on -jail right.
Swan Island bar thiTobstfurtion
at Postoffice, the .hummocks and
packed silt at the mouth of the
Willamette the' -little unpleasant
features at St. Helen's, the un
toward appearance pi things at
Deerlslandj and opposite Kalama,
-StWalkerV Island, Puget Island,
etc., may be with propriety alluded
to. We want to see an open
river. Whatever will tend toward
tfiat?desirable ''consummation shall
always meet with The Astoriax's
approval; but talking of "little
bars," and a "trifling" amount of
work to be done will not effect
anything.
.$
Th deliveries 'of coal at San
x'S&gj&frhl mongi of Sep
tember were the largest in the
history of -that port There were
twenty-six full cargoes from Eu
rope, of which fifteen came from
Liverpool,;fivefrom Cardiff, four
rbinjDunaee and two from Glas
gow. There were also nine full
. &c!irSP-e.s roiS''usrfO? and seven
from British Columbia. 'Itis note
worthy that six of these from the
last-named source were brought
down by steamer. There were
five cargoes from the Seattle mines
and two from the Carbon Hill
mine. The last-named mine has
passed to the control of the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad companj, the
consideration named being $7,000,
000. The first consignment un
der the new ownership arrived
on the -23d ultimo, consisting of
185 tons by the steamer Idaho to
Charles Crocker. It is probable
that the sale of this mine to the
railroad company will take the
coal entirely out of the market.
Although introduced only a few
months ago, it had become quite a
favorite for steam and household
purposes. Only one of the mines
at Coos bay is at present sending
coal to San Francisco at the rate
of two small cargoes per month.
The Mount Diablo mines are sup
posed to be turning out the usual
quantity, which is estimated at
13,000 tons per month.
Life SerTice.
Gheat praise is due Capt. Har
ris and the volunteer crew from
the Fort that went to attempt the
rescue of the shipwrecked crew last
Monday and Tuesday. It seems
to us that there exists an urgent
need for a regularly organized life
service at the fort; the same as is
stationed at various places on the
Atlantic coast. A corps of well
drilled men who are ready to go
at a minute's notice may be the
means of saving life and property
when other efforts would be in
effectual. The crew that volun
teered to go out to the Fern Glen
did all that men could do, but 'tis
evident that such haphazard way
of jetting men together cannot be
relied upon. The importance of
having a permanent life service
with sufficient crew is manifest.
In its report of the fair the
Standard has the following to say
of one of our leading Astoria in
dustries: "Another fine display
which is favorably commented
upon by nearly every visitor, is the
meritorious exhibit of Leinen
weber & Co., of Astoria. This
firm is an extensive manufacturer
of boots and shoes, and is strictly
an Oregon institution, tanning
its own leather, from which its
goods are made, and is deserving
of the high praise bestowed by all
who have examined its goods.
The display is in the northwest
corner of the gallery, where one
will always find crowds of people
gathered admiring the beautiful
and elegant assortment of boots,
shoes and leather so artistically ar
ranged by Mr. J. A. Ripperton,
the local agent for Portland. The
excellent quality of the goods is
remarked by every one who is at
all a judge in such matters, and we
learn that the factory is pushed to
its utmost to supply the great de
mand made on them for stock from
ali parts of Oregon and Washing
ton. Mr. Ripperton is constantly
in attendance, and is alive to the
interest of the firm he represents.
From the fact that their goods are
the most durable and best made,
their sales are rapidly increasing,
and it will pay our retail mer
chants to interview Mr.Ripperton."
John H. Mitchell now in Port
land, declines to tell a Standard
reporter an3'thing regarding the
political signs ol the times and
states that his visit home was
purely of a business character.
He has not detei mined what
length of time he will remain but
will be compelled to return to
Washington soon after the meet
ing of congress in December, to
attend to cases in whieh he is en
gaged before the U. S. Supreme
court.
There is a proposition now on
foot in France to tax titles and
cbats-of-arras. It's a srood idea.
How would it do here in the Uni
ted States to take off the tax on
matches, etc., and tax "titles"?
Make all "Colonels" pay $5 a year
for instance. Rate "Generals" at
$10 each, and lump Majors, Cap-1
tains and Professors at $2 50 each.
"There's millions in it."
Recently it seems to us as
though a large number of people
throughout this countrv have noth
ing to do but write postal cards to ,
newspaper publishers, asking for a '
sample copy of their-paper. Per- J
haps these people have an idea.
mat wc are puonsning a paper
just to wear out our young life,
but that is where they fall into a
common error. We are trying to
acquire a competence so that we
can carry a summer cane and have
a special inug at the barber shop,
with our monogram on it, and that
is whv we ask for things some
times when it seems uuladylike
and eccentric. People who en
close stamps will be waited upon
just as soon as 'the mailing brigade
can catch up a little, but those
who enclose a chunk of taffy in a
postal card and look for this price
less repository of electrotyped
brain will anxiously watch through
the gloaming till a late hour, but
they will wait in vain, Exchange.
