ASTORIA, OREGON:
"WEDNESDAY .... AUGUSTS, 1SS8
Be Patient, Good People.
The accumulation of literature
concerning the Astorin mil road is
further enriched by a letter from
Mr. R. Koehler, in which that gen
tleman says:
Returning from a trip to southern
Oregon, my attention was called
to an article in Tht (Jreyonian of
July 31, headed "Astoria,5' con
taining among other thing a criti
cisrn of the company's action in
relation to the survey of the Astoria-Forest
Grove line, now in
progress. The article says: "But
the people of Astoria feel that the
work of surveying is unreasonably
and purposely delayed, and that
Mr. Villard is not doing -what is
right in the spirit of his promise.5'
I claim tltat the writer of that ar
ticle has no good reasons for arriv
ing at conclusions as above ex
pressed. I desire to state dis
tinctly that the instructions given
by Mr. Villard and given prior
to his arrival at Portland in April
last were to start at once and
complete as rapidly as possible the
survey above referred to. "When
he afterwards, at Portland, stated
to the delegation of citizens of As
toria that the resuit could be ob
tained and a decision made in
about sixty or seventy days, he
did so on the strength of the infor
mation given by mo, I then
having good reason to Ielie-e
that the work could be
done within such a period. It
would lead to far too enumerate all
the causes which made it impossi
ble to complete the work required
within the time I had promised,
but the statement here made will,
1 trust, exclude for the future any
charge of intentional delay. The
character of the country " through
which the survey is made is well
known to the people of Astoria,
and no necessity exists, 1 believe,
to point out the difficulties which
prevented a rapid progress. I
will, however, point out that our
engineers are not merely walking
over the ground, but are charged
to furnish full and complete in
formation, such as is required for
a reliable estimate.
One rises from the perusal of
the above with an abiding regret
that the forces of the company
which Mr. Koehler so ably repre
sents arc inadequate to accomplish
definite results. The action of the
company is but a portion of the
policy of persistent delay' of which
Astorians justly complain. In
comment the Oregonhut says that
the people of Astoria, siiould v x-.r-cise
"patience." The grant was
made in 1S70; it was forfeited in
1S7G; this is 1SS3. The (Jre
yonian advises 'patience
Is reference to offers made rel
ative to the Astoria land grant
The Astokiax makes the follow
ing statement: Last December a
proposition was made to Villard
and his associates by responsible
parties, in which we are informed
was embodied a proposition to
build the 'road from Astoria to
Forest Grove, to begin at once
and grade and lay track from this
point, and at the end of a specified
time after the completion of the
road, turn it over to the corpora
tion that Mr. Villard represents;
he for that corporation at the time
surrendering all claim to the grant
commonly known as the Astoria
land grant. The receipt of this
letter was acknowledged by Mr.
Villard, but as usual the policy of
delay prevailed, and it is now im
probable, that that plan would be
proffered even if Mr. Villard were
willing to accept it. This
is a synopsis of the case and is ca
pable of abundant proof. For ob
vious reasons the above need not
at present be amplified.
The Oreiotiian asks that "for
wild incredulity' we read :tmild
incredulity' Wc accept the mod
ified attribute in the interests of
harmony and probable intent. In
another column of our potent con
temporary we read that "owing to
the low stage of water it is neces
sary to lighter an ocai'iimaf ves
sel To further promote the in
terests of harmony and probable
intent we will give our p. c. a
chance to utter a revised edition
before commenting further.
The city of Cleveland has re
ceived this year through the opera
tion of the Scott law S21Q,5S3
from 1,30'J saloons. Of this sum
$43,0GG.7G was contributed by
dealers in malt and vinous liquors
only. The effect of the Scott law
has also been to close up several
hundred little saloons.

Oregon' is almost exclusively an
agricultural and oasloral state." and
yet the shipment of meats, fruits i
and even dairy products from Cal
ifornia is constant and in consider
able quantities. This is one of
the curiosities of Pacific coast in
dustry. Alia.
Yes, and it is a detriment to our
progress. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars are annually sent out of
this state for eatables that should
be produced here.
Pennsylvania has a novel sys
tem in her- penitentiaries which
might with profit be adopted in !
other state?. A savings bank is a
feature of tlie institution, in which
any convict lias a right to deposit
money earned by overwork. Sev
eral convicts are thus assisted to
support their families; others have
a little capital to start cm when re
leased, and, o the whole, tbt idea
seems to be a most excellent one.
