Newspaper Page TextSire &mlv stttvXnnu ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY-- JULY '27,1883 The Railroad Situation. The Astoria railroad projects are moving slowly. The Astoria and Winnemnccu railroad oompt ny htill have under advisement the proposition to build a railroad from Astoria to the Willamette valley if $200,000 subsidy is raised, but have come to no decision. We are positively assured that Mr. Villard has nothing to do with this proposition. Two or three miles of water frontage has been secured for this company atTanzy point. The Villard people have one surveying party in the field on the Nehalcm, but the operators of this company do not indicate any serious intention of building a railroad. The feeling is growing more and more every day that the land grant must be declared forfeited and out of the way. When that is done and the lands returned to the public domain for settlement a railroad is assured. Otherwise we will continue to have, as at pres ent, a little surveying for the pur pose of keeping the land grant from being forfeited, unless the proposition to the Astoria and Winnemucca I. U. Co. be ac cepted. D'ye Hind Even with us, who live in Ore gon, it is not fair to chuckle over the misfortune of others, yet it is only natural to note the inconsis tency of eastern journals. When, last winter, The Astokian was pleading for government aid to remove the obstructions to com merce at the mouth of the Co lumbia, the N. Y. Sun contempt uously said in substance: "Im prove your river yourselves; are you paupers that you must come begging to the treasury?" But a change comes o'er the spirit of their dream. Frantic editorials are appearing, saying that New York Harbor is filling up: that vessels drawing twenty-Uvo feet are striking bottom daily; that "something'' must be done; the Sun thinks government aid should be invoked. Can it be that the New Yorkers are "paupers," "beg ging from the national treasury." Take your own counsel back. Im prove 3'our harbor yourself, and don't erpect that we of Oregon shall stand any such nonsense as the appropriation of government money for eastern harbor. Trut?, the world's commerce is delayed, but what is sauce for the western goose is sauce for the eastern gander. Since the 1st of July the trade dollar has come into such disfavor that it no longer passes at par. The eastern brokers are buying them at So cents, but government officers advise parties to keep them, intimating that congress will at its next session provide some measure for their redemption. The trade dollar is intrinsically of more value than the modern silver dollar; it contains seven grains more silver than the standard dol lar and is a better coin. But con gress never endowed it with legal tender attributes, and it is not even felony to counterfeit it. It was originally coined for use in the Chinese trade, at a time when our currency -was paper, as a favor, it is said to the bonanza silver kings, who wished to find some use for the product of their mines. There are 35,000,000 of those big dollars in circulation, chiefly in the Orient. Dousey threatens to sue several newspapers for libel. Ye have no doubt says the Texas JSiftings but that Dorsey really needs money if Ingersoll has collected his fee, as there is good reason to suppose helms; but getting money out of a newspaper is rather an uphill business,, as Dorsey will find out before the newspapers get through with him. Dorsey. seems to think that his character has been damaged to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars, which reminds us of what a New York editor said about Mrs. Victoria Woodhull when she, beinjr in England, sued a London paper for 10,000 damage to her character. The New York editor remarked that if Mrs. Woodhull's character had been damaged to that extent it could not possibly be the same character she had when she left this country. r The First Railroad. In an article in the Boston Herald concerning the celebra tion of the centennial anniversary of Solomon Willard, this veteran promoter and builder of railroads, the following interesting para graph concerning the first railroad built in the United States aj)jears: Mr. Willard was one of the sign ers of a petition, which was pre sented to the legislature in Jan uary, 1S2G, for an act of incorjo ration to construct a railway to Quincy,. from .the stone quarries to Neponset River. Notwith standing the opposition which this project encountered, the act of incorporation was granted, aadl was approved on March -kh of that year. The railroad was built during 1S'26, at an estimated cost of 100,000. This was the first incorporated railroad in Amer ica. It was at first operated , by horse power. It is fact worth noting in this connection that the Bunker Hill monument is notonly commemorative of the first great battle of the revolution, but that the building of the monument was the direct cause ol the opening of j tins country s hrst ratlroad. ihej monument association lmd pur-j chased a quarry in Quincy for the purpose of obtaining suitable ma-. terial for the construction of tiiel monument. It was while consid ering how the necessarily ennr mous blocks of stone could be most economically and safely transported that the idea of build ing a railroad was conceived, and ultimately, successfully canried out. In boring an artesian well in the Santa Clara valley, California, the stump of a redwood tree was met at a distance of 2S1 feet from the ground surface. The point where the tree was struck is Si feet above tide water, from which it is distant eight miles, and. the depth a,t which the wood was reached is much greater than that or the water in the bay. Rei'Oiits frosn the cattle regions of Texas say that careful estimates place the number of cattle driven up the trail from that section at 000,000 head, an increase of 250, 000 over those of last year.- The bulk of cattle will be driven to Kansas, Nebraska and the western territories.
