"J& ,w '-:iy?yfSI . f- '- 'o m pc Sai stmAar ASTOfilA- okebok. FRIDAY ... JAN. 20, 1882 j.F.UAIXOSlASr.... -Editor. There aro now two large ships on the way to T&coma with rail road iron which -wo would liko to load at Astoria, but we will prob ably bare to wait until three large tugs come on to the bar before they can cross out with a full load. They are the Iroquois and H. S. Gregory, each drawing 25 to 26 feet. It is well that larger and more powerful tugs are coming to work on the bar, for then we be lieve that Portland people will join us in trying to get the bar deepened. Yes, after they have sunk two or three ships in trying to take vessels across a shallow bar. Every tug that comes here puts another foot of water on the bar. The Standard is of the opinion that M. C. George's bill "provid ing that all lands hereafter grantod to aid in construction of railroads, which shall not be taken up by building of the roads before the first day of January, 1885, shall be declared forfeited and open to settlement," is nothing more than a shallow device to give the North ern Pacific railroad another exten sion until 1885, in which to earn lands fairly forfeited July 4, 1877. Wait a little: give him time to show his hand before deciding such a point. If it be were a grievous fault." so, 'it Among the schemes which will come before the present congress is one to connect the Mississippi river and the lake system by a canal between the Illinois river at Hennepin, to Rock Island on the Mississippi. The distance is only sixty-five miles, and the estimated cost is $3,000,000. A strong lobby has been formed at Davenport and Chicago, and money has been raised to press the scheme. Its opponents say that it will cost from $20,000,000 to $50,000,000, and find that it is utterly imprac ticable. Aeemnant of Sioux refugees in Oak River, Manitoba, are solv ing the vexed Indian problem in a manner that should be mutually satisfactory. They were originally a part of Sitting Bull's band, but when he surrendered they refused to come in. The chief is White Eagle, the warriors number 200; they are living peaceably, culti vating the soil, and unless mission aries or Indian agents should strike them in the next dozen years, will doubtless do well. It Is reported that the Flathead Indians in Montana have ordered the Northern Pacific surveyors at work on their reservation, to cease operations, and compelled them by menaces to obey. The Indians have defied the authority of their chief, who gave the surveyors per mission to run their lines, and are collecting at a point thirty-five miles west of the Missoula, with the avowed purpose of preventing the iron horse from entering their land. To be truly consistent the pro- tectionist ought to insist on a tariff duty on immigration. There is an incongruity about taxing iron and admitting flesh and blood duty free; in protecting capital and not protecting labor; if is a discrimi nation of the poor against the rich, and is becoming so manifest that it must soon yield to public opinion. The cost to the Beecroft in de murrage and interest on cargo, for having to wait so long before going to sea, amounts up to over six thousand dollars, or twice as much as it would take to tempor arily deepen tho bar across the middle sands with the scraper There's another article on the Co lumbia river bar. The New York penitentiary pays the state 83000 a month prof it orer all expenses. r- ' Efforts, having the probability of success, are boing mado to in troduce carp into Oregon waters. This fish will probably live and thrive in warmer water and upon less food than almost any other, but to have it of the beBt flavor and in best condition for the table, it is only reasonable to suppose that, for a while at least, before being brought to suoh use, it should have lived in tolerably clear water of moderately low tempera ture with a sufficient supply of suitable food. Carp-raisers can, with little difficulty, arrange their ponds so as to keep those intended for market or their own tables, in the coolest, freshest water, and supply them with a sufficiency of such food as is best calculated to give the flesh firm texture and good flavor. . Ax interesting assertion regard ing nomenclature) is made in refer ence to tho present speaker of the house. It is asserted that his grandfather came from Ireland to America ana tnat nis name was McKeever, a common name in County Down. The speaker's father, not liking the distinctive Irish prefix, dropped it, and was known as Keever. The speaker himself, wishing to couceal tho fact that he was of Irish origin, it is alleged, changed the orthography to Keifer, holding out the idea that he came from Pennsylvania Dutch stock. So that if the statement is correct, the right way to spell and pronounce his name would be "J. W. McKeever." Though in general we depre cate interference with the regular forms of justice, yet there are oc casions that demand prompt ven geance; and in the triple lynching at Seattle last ednesday, we recognize an instance in which a community did just right in twist ing, the necks of men who by their deeds had forfeited the right to live. Ik the dodges practiced by im migration agents the Canadian Pacific folks are ahead. Sections of the prairie sixteen feet square, are taken up along the railroad liw, and carried bodily to Eng land, and glass jars filled with black loam are also sent to show what the soil actually is. The tomb of Garfield is kept constantly covered with flowers, which are renewed daily. The funeral car stands within a glass house at the base of the hill on which the monument is to be placed, and is guarded by a de tachment of United States troops. Califoenia papers are inform ing thpir readers, Republican or Democratic as . the case may be, that they must "organize" if they want to win next fall. The cakes and ale; the prospective bowl's of soup are already occasioning con cern to the ins and the obts. The woman suffragists have no cause to be enthusiastic over the promotion of Judge Gray to the United States Supreme Court. He made a decision a few months ago refusing to admit a woman to practice in the Supreme Court of Massachusets. The Utah delegate dispute is to be settled by refusing a seat to either claimant. It is thought that that will establish the fact that a polygamlst cannot have a seat in Congress, nor can a man who wa3 not elected. Under the present regime ship building in the United States threatens to become one of the "lost arts." During '81 only eleven sea going yessels with an aggregate burthen of 3,480 tons, were launched in- the district of Boston. The. American eagle which soared and screamed under Blaine's tutelage has been-aptly compared to a capon ..since Fre linghuyscn took charge of the bird. The price of subscription to The Weekly Astobian has been redueetl to S2 per annum when paid In advance. If not rjald In advaneatho old nriceof $3 tvUI be charged. NEW TO-DAY.

Su"forlsS2 will make its fifteenth animal revolution under the present man agement, shinlne. as alwavs. for all. ble and little, mean and gracioas, contented and un happy, itepumican ana Democratic, ue praved and vinuous. Intelligent and obtuse. Tur auVs light Is for mankind and woman kind of ev cry sort ; but its general warmth Is for the good, w lule it pours hot discomfort on the blistering backs of the persistently wicked. The So; of 1S88 was a newspaper of r. new kind. It discarded many or the forms, ana a multitude of the superfluous words and phrases of ancient Journalism. It under took to report In a fresh, succinct, uncon ventional v.ay all the news of the world, omitting no ovent of human Interest, and commenting upon affairs with tho Jearless ness of absolute Independence. The suc cess of this experiment was the success of The Sum. It effected a permanent change In the style of American newspapers. E ery important Journal established in this country in the dozen jears past has been modelled after TnK Sun. Every Important Journal alr-adj existing has been, modified and bettered by the force of The buVs example. Int. faux of 16S2 will be the samo outspok en, truthtelllng, and Interesting newspaper By a liberal use of tho means which an abundant prosperity affords, we shall make It better thin ever before. , , , , We shall print all the news, putting it into readable shape, and measuring Its import ance, not bj the traditional j ardstick. but by its real interest to the people. Distance from Printing Hon,-e Square is not the first consideration with Tun Sun. Whenever anything happens worth reporting-vvc get tho partlcul us, whether It liappens In Brook 1 n or in Bokhara. In politics wo have decided opinions ; and are acuistomed to express them In language that can be understood. Wc say what wo think about men and evtnts. That habit Is the only secret of The su"s political course. Tmc Weewia- Sun gathers into eight pages the best matter of the seven daily Is sues. An Agricultural Department of un equalled merit, full market reports, and a liberal proportion of literary, scientific, and domestic Intelligence complete TnE Week ly Sun. and make It the best newspaper for the fanner's household that v as ever printed. Who docs not know- and read and liko The SraDAY Sun, each number of which Is a Golcondaof interesting literature, with tho best poetry of the day, prose, every line worth reading, news, humor matter enough to fill a good-sized book, and Infinitely more varied and entertaining thaa any book, big or little?- , ,. , If our idea of what a newspaper should be pleases you. send for The Sun.
