No. 30.
AN -OLD CITIZEN'S" VIEWS.
Ed. AssTOkian:
Please say to Oregon, the Uni
ted States government. The Dalles,
"Walla "Walla, all places east of
the mountains, the people of the
"Willamette valley, (you might
privately mention it to Portland in
a very careful way) what a foolish
thing it is to improve the Colum
bia river above the mouth of the
"Willamette; what bushels of mon
ey it takes out of the poor honest
fanner, all needlessly, just simply
to keep government officers out of
mischief. As an old citizen of
Oregon I pray the government of
the United States to stop that
work at the Cascades and never
think of so foolish an expenditure
as the improvement at The Dalles.
Doirt you know that railroad
transportation is much more econ
omical than transportation on the
water? Mr. "Villard, please don't
build a railroad from Forest Grove
to Astoria at the mouth of the
Columbia, for you know what a
terrible cost it is to build and run
a railroad through such terrible
mountains as arc between Forest
Grove and Astoria. The fact is
there is not money enough in
Germany to build the road. But
what au easy matter it would be
to clear out the little mud flats just
a little below Portland, to 9A feet
and Charley will do it with his lit
tle squirt gun in less than a week
if the government will give him
the privilege. That is all it takes,
aud might have been done long
ago, but there are but few men
who have such gigantic minds to
grapple with such things and you
know that water transportation
between Portland and the sea
don't amount to anything (to
Portland) as she is already rich
and independent of all outside
wants. But how foolish it is for
ilr. Villard to build a railroad
down to Astoria, for it is impossi
ble for him to think of carrying a
car loaded in bulk with wheat past
Portland, he simply can't do it be
cause river transportation is cheap
er; that is if he don't mention As
toria. But if he will carry it di
rect to the Sound it is all right.
That is, if he will. That is if he
will not carry it by those large
elevators in Portland, but will
stow it there, then tow a ship 110
miles in ballast then take the bal
last out, load or simply ballast the
ship, tow her down to As
toria, then barge her car
go down and finish loading
her at Astoria. Then it will be
all right, because it makes the
rich farmer that is wallowing in
wealth richer, and the poor Port
laud merchant that is wearing his
life out of him, all for the good of
Oregon, "Washington and Idaho
Mr. Villard, please don't connect
Astoria with Portland by railroad,
it would do Portland no harm but
would ruin Astoria, as you would
be sure to carry the salmon from
Astoria to Portland in order to
get to tow a ship by Astoria up to
Portland, in order to ship that
salmon through the customhouse
in Portland direct to Europe, that
is, if it did not prove to be cheap
er to ship it from Astoria to Port
land, then pass the custom house,
reship it to Kalaraa by river boat
45 miles, then 110 miles over rail
road to Tacoma, then 120 miles
through the Straits of Fuca to the
ocean. These are all small mat
ters when you take into account
the interests of the glorious peo
ple of Oregon. What a great and
prosperous country this is, all
grown out of Portland's great
sacrifices to the good of the coun
try. Please, Mr. Editor, don't
mention the fact that the mouth of
the Columbia river is 110 miles
below Portland; that Astoria is
within 15 miles of the ocean; all
ships that have ever seen or ever
will see the Columbia river have
to come direct to Astoria, and can
come to our wharves drawing 22
feet of water without let or
hinderance beside wharves that
are not eaten up every two years
by the teredo as on the Sound, nor
by wharves as in Portland where
the water rises 3 to 5 times a year
21 to 38 feet above low water,
flooding and spoiling large
amounts of wheat and other mer
chandise. "What wish to see is railroad
connection from the east to Se
attle, Tacoma, Olympia and as
many more places as may spring
up on the Sound, also connecting
with Portland, Roseburg, Redding
and all othor points to San Fran
cisco, as well as from Forest Grove
to Astoria, from Portland to Asto
ria by way of Columbia City, and
then let Astoria, with all the thick
settled states and territories with
all their commercial wealth IvinjH
3000 miles ease of her, the islands
and China to the west oi her with
all their commerce and trade, just
let Astoria die.

Dublin, May 2. Patrick De
laney and Thomas Caffrey, two
more of the men charged with par
ticipation in the murders of Cav
endish and Burke, were arraigned
for trial this morning. They cre
ated a sensation in the court room
by pleading guilty to the charges
against them. Both were sen
tenced to be hanged on the 2d of
June. Before Caffrey had pleaded
guilty he was informed that the
crown gave no hopes of a mitiga
tion of the sentence of death, I
which would be passed upon him.
When Delaney was called he
pleaded guilty, and said: "I was
brought into this at first foolishly,
not knowing what it was. I was
forced from my work to go to the
park. "We had to obey the orders
of the society or take the conse
quences. "When I got into the
park I could not get away. I saw
the murders committed, but took
no part in them. The murders
were committed by Joe Brady and
Timothy Kelly, and by nobody t
else." "When Caffre was placed
in the dock his face wore smiles.
The consequence of pleading
guilty was again fully explained
to him on the opening of the court, j
but he persisted in his plea. On J
being asked if ho had ai'tlring to ,
say why sentence should not be
passed upon him, Caffrey leplied:
"All T have got to say, standing
on the brink of the grave, is that
I did not know what was going to
happen until ten minutes before
the murders were committed. I
was bound to go to the park under
pain of death."
Crook After Them.
El Paso, May 2. Considerable
amusement was created here by
some press dispatches from Wash
ington that say the departments of
state and war forbid General
Crook entering: Mexico in pursuit
of the hostile Apaches. General
Crook has already entered Mexico
and been in the Sierra Madres at
least four days. It is also true'
tuat tne .uexicui authorities are i
co-operating, and two Mexican
companies are moving from the
Chihuahua side, two from tho So
nora side, and other troop; are in
the field on both sides of the fron
tier to prevent the hostiles from
escaping or breaking through the
cordon. The war department
seems to be afraid that Crook has
gone to make a Mexican raid on
the resident Apaches. The Times
of this place, which has ample
sources of information, says that
both Mexican officers and General
Crook consider that the present
movements are made only in pur
suance of a continued pursuit, and
therefor in accord with the milita
ry canon of allowing troops of
either country to follow hostile
binds across the border. It also
says the hostile Apaches are not
residents of Mexico, but renegades
from the United States, who make
Mexico a place for escaping pur
suit. The present movements are
a part of the continuous campaign.

Cats on Shipboard.
Although puss' is the unrelent
ing enemj of rats, and they stand
in wholesome awe of her presence,
she is not always victorious in her
encounters with them. I have
seen a cat rolled over and over by
a patriarch on whom she had
pounced, and retire from the fray
discomfited, witli a severe bite
through the lip. I had brought
an old cat with me, on joining a
certain rat-ridden ship, knowing
him to be a good sporting animal.
Tt was not mine, but one I had
borrowed for the voyage on hear
ing the vessel's reputation for nat
ural history. She was fairby over
run with vermin from stem to
stern, but it appears that there
was an extraordinary concentra
tion of the ratty element in the
storerooms underneath the fore
peak. Nothing served to restrain
their depredations, or to diminish
their numbers and audacity. . It
was scarcely safe to venture down
there, and the storekeeper was at
his wits' end to know how to pro
tect the articles under his charge.
At length he asked me to allow
him to put Tim down there at
night, not so much in hope of de
stroying the rats as of scaring them
away. Tim was accordingly con
ducted thither before the gratings
were put on, and left there, with
his saucer of bread and milk, his
mat and no lack of company. In
the morning nothing remained of
him but gnawed Sones aud some
scraps of gray hair. Allthe Year

to make a corner in the clam mar

hour at every tide and can be of no
practical value to any one. The
board should not sell them as it
will only place it in the power of
an individual to give trouble to
parties navigating the bay. The
water is seven or eight feet deep

low enough figures to make it an object

in place of the more costly No. 40, 12-

Fishermen who have heretofore nsed
this grade of twine for repairs, claim
that the durability of the patch is equal
to the balance of the net, after the latter
has had a few weeks use. We think it
will be money in your pocket to try it.
