en glxc galti Jst:dntu ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY APRIL 14, 18S3 Just for Instance. Mr. Henry Villard arrives at Astoria this morning. :Tis now over eighteen months since the seaport of Oregon -was honored by a visit from the head of the vast system of railroads that is devel oping this great northwest at such a rate. The Astoria of to-day is far ahead in wealth and size of the Astoria of eighteen months ago. The city that Mr. Villard's com pany ignores by omitting its name from its maps is, outside of Port land, the most prosperous city in the Northwest. Astoria welcomes Mr. Villard; is glad that he is here, and hopes that his stay on this northwest coast will be a source of satisfaction to himself and of profit to the several com munities whose interests he has so much to do with. When C. P. Huntington, vice president of the Central Pacific Railroad company, was several years ago looking through the Willamette valley for a railroad route, he turned to his companion and asked about a route through the Coast Range to Astoria, and remarked that if there were a good route to Astoria that Astoria should be the great market for the wheat of the Willamette valley, and that a railroad would be built there. But great railroad men are like ourselves, mortal and fallible. Several years have passed since Mr. Huntington's visit to the Wil lamette valley, and there is no railraad to Astoria yet, notwith standing a large land grant of more value than the proposed rail road was given to aid in building the railroad. Perhaps if Mr. Huntington had been operating in Oregon he would have carried out that idea of building to Astoria, but more likely he would have dono as Mr. Villard, who said in his Portland speech when he was there last, that "he meant Port land to be the western terminus" of his railroad system. Subsequent events show that Mr. Villard meant what he said then. Sometimes it happens, however, that presidents of great railroad corporations do not al ways have things happen just to suit them. So it was with Gov. Stanford, of California, who said in a public speech at Sacramento that he meant that city should be the great terminus of the Central Pacific railroad. Years have rolled on since and we find San Francisco slightly larger than Sacramento, and Gov. Stanford has bowed to the inevitable and built himself a neat little cottage in the city by the sea costing him half a million of dollars. Astoria is, however, entirely in dependent of Mr. Villard or his plans. Should he see fit to do otherwise than ignore the only seaport that Oregon possesses, wo shall not feel at all disap pointed. But the railroad or Mr. Villard has more need for Astoria than Astoria has for the railroad. Our sources of wealth and pro gress are independent of parallel rails, and while they would aug ment, their absence cau no more than temporarily retard the suc cessful future that awaits our citv. Pointers. A bill has passed the "Wisconsin assembly to imprison txanips in the state prison for not less than six months nor more than one year. A Vermont judge has ruled that where liquor is sent into the state marked C. O. D., the sale is made in the state, and hence is contrary to law. The recent general assembly of North Carolina voted a pension of $75 a year to all the maimed or disabled ex-confederate soldiers of that stale. Six detectives attended the Van derbilt ball in New York. The great railroad king did not, of course suspect that he had invited Jiny thieves. The railroad people and specu lators having an interest in the Yellowstone National Park hope mat, iuu preaiuent win visit "Wonderland" this summer. Dundee merchants, many of whom carry standing credit in the United States of from $75,000 to $100,000, siy they have mucb. few er bad debts in the United States ih&nJn Europe. Edward Atkinson, illustrating the advantage of machinery, says it would require 16,000,000 per sons, using the spinning-wheel and hand-loom of less than a century ago to make the cotton cloth used by our people, which is now manu factured by 160,000. A lawsuit to determine the ownership of a large meteoric stone which recently fell in Em met, Iowa, is about to be tried. The owner of the land on which it fell claims that it is his for that reason, and the man who saw it fall and dup- it up believes the court will hold his title perfect. The stone has considerable value for it weighs 600 pounds. It is said that Roscoe Conkling happened in the library of con gress, a few days ago, when Mr. Blaine was working away in a side alcove, Tjut the librarian answered his questions quickly, produced the works of reference, rod placed ! the New York lawyer at a safe j distance from his old antagonist. The two men sat within twenty feet of one another for nearly an hour, and neither apparently knew of the other's proximity. Hon. John C. Knox of Phila delphia, who was the democratic leader in the Penns3rlvania legis lature of 184:6 and in 1853, and was elected Supreme Judge by 40,000 majority, is passing the evening of his life in the Insane Asylum at Harrisburg, where he has been since 1S77. Says the Philadelphia Times: "He was one of the most accomplished and gonial of men, and the evening of his once useful and promising life is unspeakably sad." At a recent meeting of "origi nal Mormons" at Kirkland, Ohio, some strong speeches were made. Rev. C. Gurley, speaking of the Utah Mormons or Brighamites, said: "They are dissenters from the original church. The people of Utah, men and women, have practiced the meanest things that ever disgraced the world. I am sorry that such a terrible thing as polygamy exists. Jt is a curse as black as Egyptian darkness. I do not take stock in any religious followers who do not live in a country to obey its laws. I would rather have my child a rank infi del than a Utah Mormon practis ing polygamy. We hope the United States government will draw a distinction between the Reorganized church of Latter Day Saints and those latter day devils at Utah.
