ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY ATA11CTI 13, 18E3
At Last.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Oregon and California railroad,
held at Portland on the 5th, it was
ordered that the annual meeting of
the stockholders of that corpora
tion hold their annual meeting on
the 10th of next month. At that
meeting supplementary articles of
incorporation will be submitted for
consideration and adoption. These
supplementary articles embrace a
variety of purposes, the most im
portant is that which proposes "to
construct and equip a railroad and
telegraph line with all necessary
branches, from a point at or near
Forest Grove, in "Washington
county, Oregon, to Astoria in
Clatsop county, Oregon, to con
nect with iis existing railroad, and
to operate and maintain the same
nnd carry freight and passengers
thereon, and receive tolls there
for." This is plain enough and to
the point. The O. & C, repre
sents the corporation that claim
what we have so long and persist
ently written about The Astoria
Land Grant the grant that we
have argued should be forfeited
unless the corporation that claimed
it gave evidence of their intention
to make good their promise
whereby the obtained the origi
nal concession. If what we quote
above means anything it means
that the company intends to
build the road as soon as pos
sible. Should that be done
there would be no opposition on
the part of Astorians. It would
open up a magnificent country and
put Clatsop county ahead a dozen
years. It would bring our coun
try a s-hr.re of the immigration that
will pour from the east in the next
dire4 years, and add much to our
material wealth. Looking at the
matter in this light we say candid
ly we would rathersee the road built
than see the urant forfeited. We
are for that which is for the best
interests of the county. If the
company refuse to build the road
yet claim the right to hold the
grant we want that claim forfeited,
but if they say 4tve will build the
road" The Astokiax says "wel
come; build the load and develop
our resources." The company in
its intent exhibits shrewd commer
cial policy. It can make money
by its Astoria road; it will be a
matter of mutual benefit. Asto
ria is so situated that she need fear
no railroad; rather look upon them
asadjuncts, as feeders, as attributes
of her ultimate prosperity. We
are glad to sec the C). &. C con
template such action, and congrat
ulate them on being alive to their
interests.
Tin: era of great mining activity
011 this coast seems at an end. AVe
hear no more of great strikes and
busy men on mountain sides. Vir
ginia, Bodie, Eureka, and other
places are becoming hamlets, and
in California the agricultural pro
ducts far exceed in value the out
put of the mines. Mining is in its
nature feverish and ephemeral
work. It is brilliant in its some
time result, but it is only a gamble
and is not of lasting benefit. Air
riculture, the products of the field,
farm and stock yard afford sure,
though slover means of acquiring
a competence, unaccompanied by
sharp turns of fortune that affect
the miner.
TIik New Orleans Times-Demo
crat chivalrously admits that Mrs.
Lungtry is a charming person, but
ventures to say that in any one of
the audiences she had in the St.
Charles theater there were a. score
of women superior to her in
every attribute of beauty. "At
the Carnival german or. Friday
night." it. says, "she was out
stripped by dozens of the ladies
present." This startling statement
recalls the reply of Dr. Franklin,
when asked in a Parisian ball-room
if he had ever seen anything like
it before. "Not since I was
weaned," responded the sage.
A recent edict against the
leading scientists of the world
charges them with atheism. This
is out of place. That the order of
the universe is the order of a
Supreme mind working silently
and closely through ages, and not
spasmodically through centuries,
is now as much an accepted idea
of civilized man as the theory of
gravitation. And this is all that
Huxley, Darwin and Tyndall
assert. The nearest approach that
Tyndall, the greatest living
scientist ever made to materialism
was in his famous Belfast address
of 1874, when, after a glowing
peroration concerning immortality
he said that these questions "would
continue to be discussed by the
loftiest minds, long after you and
I, like streaks of morning cleud,
snail have melted into the minute
azure of eternity."
The Standard's "Washing-lun
1
correspondent says that when the
sundry civil appropriation bill
was under consideration M. C.
George succeeded in securing the
following amendment, relating to
an increase of compensation .for
making surveys of the public
lands in Oregon and Washingten:
"Where, for any cause not pro
vided by law, in Oregon or Wash
ington Territory, the Commission
er is unable to get the necessary
surveys made, at the rates now
provided by law, he ma3' allow a
sum not exceeding $12 per linear
mile, for standard lines; $10 for
township lines, and G for section
lines."
Says .the losl-lntelliqcncer
"We have framed and adopted a
constitution. Let the next legis
lature elect two senators, and, with
Mr. Brents as representativo, let
them proceed to Washington and
ask of the next congress seats on
the floors of their respective
branches." Good.
