ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY JULY 51. 1883 Wheat and Salmon. As the salmon season closes, the wheat season begins. A compar ison of the two great staples of Columbia river shipments may be of present interest. The salmon pack is unusually large: the wheat crop almost a full one: this in the face of contrary predictions. The price of the one is directly pro portioned to the price, of the other. High wheat means dear bread, and an increased demand for salmon in the English market. On Xov. 1, SS2, wheat was SI .774 per cental in San Francisco; now, it is l.f7; in Liverpool, wheat shows shrunken values, averaging now about $225 per cental: the prices of salmon illustrate our proposi tion that wheat and salmon rise and fall together. Astoria, Portland and New Ta coma are interested in wlieat ship ments. On the assumption that the wheat yield of the Northwest will always be of great magnitude and be eagerly sought m Liver pool, "great expectations" arise in the minds of mairv. It is by no means certain that North Pacific coast wheat will overshadow other productions The constant culti vation of wheat impoverishes the ground, and sooner or later the Eastern Oregon and "Washington fanner will learn to diversify his crop. The constant cultivation of wheat engenders the same spirit that any other form of gambling does, and a gambler's Jato awaits the speculation. Again, it is evi dent from our geographical posi tion that we can never expect to be a formidable competitor to In dia. Russia or Canada. The inex orable law of freights precludes the idea. It costs too much to get Walla "Walla wheat to Liver pool to expect favorable results as compared with the illimitable areas now being opened up in British possessions in both hemispheres. These remarks apply purely to export. Our wonderful increase in population entails a correspondingly increas ing consumption, and insures a home demand. The completion of a road to Astoria that should tap the Willamette valley, will tend to equalize matters in this direction as much as anything else. With salmon, our present pros perity is more intimately con nected. Every season the busi ness centers more and more at Astoria; we have not :is yet seen that annual contribution to the world's literature that emanates from the Portland board of trade, and do not know if that honorablo body still claim salmon as a Port land product, but believe that the above statement is not susceptible of successful contradiction. The salmon season that closes to-day, has presented some curi ous features, whose effect will be more apparent in April '8-j- than they are now. The bull and bear movement has been more appar ent during the last four months than at any other time since the business assumed proportions; the price of the raw material exhibited extraordinary fluctuation, and the result of the pack though not wholly a surprise is far from being wholly satisfactory. The pack of 'SI 50,000 cases was unpre cedented, and when 534,000 cases was announced for 'S2 the pre sumption was that the long pro phesied failure was at hand, and that the Columbia salmon were "giving out." The result of the season which closes to-day seems to indicate a contrary state of affairs. I3ut in reckoning on the source of the 000,000 cases which represents the pack of 'So it must be remembered that never before was there so much gear in the water, nor was the salmon fished for with such tireless assidu ity. Seventy-five cents, ninety cents, and even one dollar a fish, regardless of size, was the incen tive to the fisherman, and with the exception of the last three weeks of this month, the presumption is that the river was pretty well cleaned of salmon. The project of establishing a hatchery, so ear nestly advocated by The Asto r.iAX, should not be allowed to go by the board; the idea is in analo gy with former experience and will alwa3's constitute an important feature of the business. The future of the salmon busi ness on the Columbia is difficult to forecast. It is almost certain that the maximum of production has been reached, and that next sea son's business will be more with a iew to the universal law of sup ply and demand. Men can salmon they do everything else com mercial, for the money there is in With salmon at 1.20 and 1.221 a case there is no money in be business, and this part of the roblcm solves itself. The N. Y. Tribune on the presidential canvass says: There is no doubt that Blaine stands better before the country to-day ' than ever before. If he chose, he i could be a stronger presidential candidate than in 1S7G or 1SS0, but it is kn.own he has peremp torily refused to be considered a candidate, or let his friends work for him. He sa3s he has no tie sire to return to public life, and has . found new and congenial work, in which he is engrossed. TnE London Lancet has made the discovery that there is "no more powerful apparatus for con veyance of disease than a book." It mentions measles, scarlet fever, diphtheriaand other ills to which the juvenile community are especially prone as being easy to catch from books. The germs of disease may lie for months or even years between the leaves of books that are seldom handled. A recent Mississippi valley cyclone turned a well wrong side out in Mississippi, blew the pump out of another well in Kansas, moved township lines in Nebras ka, blew all the staves out of a whisky barrel in Iowa, changed the day of the week in Wisconsin, and killed an Indian agent in Da kota. States that will hold elections this year arc Kentucky, Iowa, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jerse', Pennsyl vania, Maryland, Mississippi and Minnesota. Kentucky elects August Gth; Ohio and Iowa follow in October, and others being No vember states. Thev've found a man in San Francisco that prophesied Gar field's death, and Ben Butler's election to the Massachusetts gov ernorship. People who were fear ing that there would be no one left to tell lies next election will see how groundless were their fears. While Democratic conventions in some states are declaring against selling the labor of convicts to contractors, the Democratic gov ernment of Tennessee has just sold the labor of the convicts of that state to a railroad company for six years at $101,000 per 'ear. Did it never occur to those who are continually starting now par ties that only two have lived since the foundation of the Republic? Man' have sprung up, to die be fore thev arrived at that state of maturity which would afford their promoters a single office. An enterprising Parisian has succeeded in getting dupes to subscribe $150,000 to be used in dragging the bottom of the Red Sea, and discovering the chariot of Pharaoh, together with other arch :elogiral treasure. It is estimated that 10,000 bush els of oyster shells are taken daily from the bed of the Hcusatonic river, near its mouth, and trans planted in Long Island Sound, for the purpose of catching oyster spat. David Datis plays the 'flute, and the fact that he makes no concealment of it justifies the conclusion that his withdrawal from politics is perfectly sincere. Duixth, Minn., is the largest village in the United States Kalamazoo, Mich., was until a few months ago, but it has since se cured a city charter. The estimated popuation "of Ireland at the middle of the year 1S82 was 5,097,730. During that year, 89,130 persons emigrated from Ireland. The New York Graphic says there appears to be little doubt that the temperance people of Ohio will vote solidly for Judge b o raker. Jay Gould is a practical and impartial politician. He gives liberally to the campaign commit tees of both of the leading parties. It is sand that enables a man to climb the greased pole of politics and grasp the official prize at th top. 1? Of McDonald, of Indiana, whose name is mentioned in con nection with the Democratic presi dential nomination, the Baltimore i American says: "His troubles sees to be that he has an allopathic appetite for the office, and a homo2opathic fitness for it."
