Newspaper Page Text(1) ja - - I . !- J H.l J, ASTORIA, OREGON: r SUNDAY APRIL.). 18S3 The Astoria Railroad. s Elsewhere is presented a ver- batim report of Mr. Villard's re . cent remarks to a committee from the chamber of commerce of this city. Ilis statements arejto be ac cepted as facts, his opinions as honest, his expressions throughout, as sincere. He gives considerable valuable insight into the history of the 0. & C. R. R., and in his allu sions to the action of the chamber of commerce in aitatin the land grant makes public a little bit oi history that was news to a good many, viz: that the Astoria land grant is mortgaged in trust in common with other portions of railraod grants, which trust is held by "three English gentlemen for the benefit of the bondholders," and that it would appear to be so tied up as to be practically impos sible for any one to relinquish the "claim." Had Mr. Villard gone further and elucidated what shadow of a "claim' any "gentle man" whether English, American, German or Chinese, had to the great timber lands of Clatsop, Col umbia and "Washington counties, he would have made a val uable addition to local histo ry. In point of fact, and as a matter of equity, the companies that Mr. Yillard so ably represents have as much right to the town site of Astoria as they have to any land in the vicinity, which was granted on conditional terms that were never complied with by the corporation to which such condi tional grant was made. This is something that needs no argument. It is either true or false, and its truth or falsity cannot be affected by conflicting assertions. The Astoriax has always taken this position; it says to Mr. Villard's cempanies: The grant is 3'ours when you build the road from As toria to Forest Grove; as the mat ter stands it is no one's; you for feited the grant by not building the road at the time agreed upon, your excuse that you had no spare time or money wouldn't stand in any court of equity m the world; but if you build the road it will be unnecessary to hold iiuy post mortem examination of what has or hasn't been done. Build the road or make "way for others who will build it. Tht road is to be built. If your corporations fail to see the advantages that will ac crue to themselves, stand aside; you can't hold the grant and not build the road. This has been our platform, and though glad that Mr. Yillard speaks in such a frank and cordial manner we see no rea son to modify it. Nor is there any "pleading" on the part of Astorians in reference to this thing. On the contrary it is a demand. Astorians know the value of that magnificent scope of country, the ownership to which is suppositionally vested in "three English gentlemen," and do not :plead" with Mr. Villard for any thing. A tract of land seventy-five miles long and twenty miles wide; fifteen hundred square miles, nine hundred and sixty thousand acres, (worth at the lowest calculation five dollars an acre or over four and a half millions of dollars) which is what the Astoria land grant com prises, is an empire in itself; the timber alone would pay for build ing the road; thirty thousand dol lars a mile for seventy-five miles would be two and a quarter mil lion, leaving a handsome margin of profit. Mr. Villard is shrewd enough to see this and it is proba ble further discussion will be ren dered unnecessary by the road be ing built. Irish Nationalists. The Land League convention which was in cession in Philadel phia last week, adjourned on the 27th. That erratic individual. Jerry O'Donovan, who some years ago took the name of Rossa, was squelched. The convention adopt ed a dignified protest against Eng land's constant treatment of Ire land, and also some resolutions, suggesting the formation of "The Irish National League of America" whose objects are declared to be: Earnestly and actively to sus tain the Irish National League in Ireland with moral and material aid, in achieving self-government for Ireland. To procure a clearer and more accurate understanding by the American people of the political, industrial and social con dition of Ireland, that they may J see for themselves that her poverty is the result of centuries of brute force and destructive legislation, and that, if permitted to make her own laws on her own soil, she will demonstrate the possession of all essentials, natural and ideal, for self-government, beneficial alike to Ireland and the United States. To promote the development of Irish manufactories by encourag ing their importation into the United States; to circulate pre pared literature in schools and so cieties, that the justice of our cause may be thoroughly defended against ignorance and malice; to encourage the study of the Irish lnnm-iorro tlio tultitratinn nt TrJd, I & "s -wii. . vt -"'-"S4 23 per 131 feet. les0 ptr cent, rebate music, an emightened love of art, Ail bills will be payable monthly unless spe .i 1 . . ...1.1 ! rial contracts nr rasidn. anu uiic v.iiaiai,iciiouv; trik, iliac tiua made a part of our race bright amid darkness and has always se cured for the Celt success and re vm v,.A nnn..Mrn.ip.i. ...- vn. ..nr nown in every country in which he I has had an equal opportunity with j his fellows; to hurt the enemy where he will profit most, by re fusing to purchase any article of English manufacture, and by using all legitimate influence to discour age tradesmen from kee; ing En glish manufactures on sale: t abolish sectional feeling; and to keep alive the holy flame of Irish nationality, while performing" faith fully the duties of American citi zenship.
