ASTORIA, OREGON:
FRIDAY-IT. JULY 18,1883
Astoria's Present Jiceds.
Thet are many; among the
most pressing are wider streets;
that is, when a street is made or
permanently repaired it should
be widened; a better sys
tem of "fire alarm, so that the
location of a fire may be instantly
determined; the present system is
good enough for" a village, but
Astoria covers too much area, and
has-too many valuable buildings
to go on any longer under that
system; the telephone, or telegraph
after the fashion of the fire distriot
alarm furnishes the easiest solu
tion of this problem; greater care
in the erection of flimsy buildings
and the building of flues; increased
watchfulness on the part of citi
zens with reference to faulty
chimneys; the banishing of Chinese
from all parts of the city except
some certain defined limits; in
creased facilities in the matter of
hose and hose carts; it will be
long time yet before the Columbia
water works are in operation; the
employment of a special officer
whose sole duty it shall be to look
after stoves, flues, and all places
where fire is likely to cause
danger; an ordinance prohibiting
the crowding together of wood
en buildings without a certain
space between, and the strict en
forcement of all ordinances now
in force. If they are bad repeal
them; if they are good let them be
enforced.
"I have been officially advised
that President Arthur will use our
road in visiting the Yellowstone
region this summer," said Herman
Hanpt, general manager of the
Northern Pacific road, in Chicago
last Monday. If he does he will
be treated royally. "We expect to
get our road through about Sep
tember 14:. "YVe are now about
fifteen miles west of Helena, and
work is being pushed east from
Missoula. The gap is only about
120 miles. "We will open up as
fine a countryas lies under the
sun. There is no desert on the
line of our road. Our elevations
average 3,000 feet less than the
Union and Central Pacific, and
this gives us an advantage of
about ten degrees less in temper
ature. Ye use the Mullen pass
in crossing the mountains, and
500 miles of our road will be pro
tected by trees. 'We are planting
them now. This is comparatively
a new idea. "We intend making
them a substitute and improve
ment on snow fences and sheds
This will effectually guard against
blockades in the winter, which
have heretofore been a great ob
jection to overland travel."
The Pennsylvania Republican
state convention met last"Wednes
day and, in relation to the tariff
question came out as follows
"We unqualifiedly approve and de
mand continuance- of that sys
tem of protection to home indus
try which has proved itself the
basis of national independence, an
incentive to industrial skill aud
development, and a guarantee of a
just and adequate scale of wages
for labor, and we denounce, all at
tempts to reduce the rates of tariff
below a level which will accom
plish these objects; that any
surplus in the public treas
ury, arising from rebundant
revenue, should, after paying the
national debt, as conditions per
mit, be distributed from time to
time tQ.the several states upon a
basis of population, to reliev
them from the burdens of local
taxation and to provide means fo
the education of their people.
Governor Schuyler Crosby of
Montana, arrived at Chicago from
the east last Wednesday, and in
an interview said: "I saw presi
dent Villard, of the Northern Pa
cific railroad and learned definite
ly when the road will be opened
for business. The last spike wi
be driven about twenty miles west
of -Helena, Montana territory, on
September .3. Mr. Villard has
made arrangements with different
roads for special cars and has is
sued invitations to a large number
of prominent men to be present
All leading railroads will be rep
resented and many prominent
politicians and other public men
nave signified their intention to
attend.
A Boston man wants a di

Prohibition.
Astoria, July 11, 1883.
DITOIt ASTOBIAX:
You pronounce prohibition "im
practicable, and therefore useless
to argue," but even then you seem
unwilling to let go, and add that
from the days of the wedding
feast at Cana down to this moment
the history of all prohibition move
ments is -alike." Now, your read
ers must very naturally infer from
our nice little dig in Sunday's
Astobiax at "fanatics who preach
prohibition," and the repetition un
der two headings in to-day's issue,
that you rather like the subject,
notwithstanding its being "useless
to argue." And, Mr. Editor, I
am of opinion your readers like it
too, and wpuld be decidedly inter
ested with a little of the "history"
with which you are so familiar.
Cana is a long way off, and that
little winery, with its miraculous
product of the pure, unfermented
wine of the ancients, was run
long time ago; and probably we
will be more interested by strip
ping over the pages till we come
to those headed Maine, and take a
esson there. And with all read
ers and friends of our stirring As
tokiak", you will also confer a
great favor on Fanatic.
That sterling Englishman John
Bright, in a speech at Manchester
last week said that in the United
States next year would be elected
i president, and for his part he
didn't know what the Republicans
and Democrats were going to fight
about. 5Tis the tariff, John, the
tariff! 'Tis the tariff that mends
us and makes us and breaks us; a
live tariff issue will part us as wide
as if oceans and deserts were h'ing
between us!
Chicago papers say that so
shameful is the stale of affairs
there that outside the city it is
"considered a disgrace to be a citi
zen." That is a hard assertion
about the fourth city in the Union.
Detroit claims to have the
most local steamboat traffic of any
city in the country. Astoria has
the most in proportion to its popu
lation.
