Vol. xix. Astoria, Oregon, Wednesday Morning, August 22, 1883 No. 122. . VTLTi A "RD IS JBIG-. SHOW. r Under this title the Salt Lake Tribune waxes eloquent. It de clares: "If there are any who think there is anything like affectation in the .preparations which are being made by President Yillard for the opening of the Northern Continen talroad, they should recall the idea. It is a big event in the United States, but when the full story is told in Germany it "will reveal to the youth of that coun try a picture of the possibili ties of this country in contrast with their own, such as they never be fore contemplated. In the year in which the boy Villard sailed to America probably 200.000 Ger man boys entered the German army. Many of those sleep in the pits which were dug for them at Sadowa, Gravelotte, Sedan, Metz and other fields; some have re turned to till the soil or tend the shops, a few have reached the po sition of second lieutenant in the great army. But the boy who came to America has supreme command -over something more powerful than the German army; of an empire more extensive than many states of Germany, and a realm, too, which holds within it the germs of wealth which cannot be computed. What a story it will be to tell in Germany, that a poor German boy who a few veais ago sailed from Fatherland now is at the head of a railroad which continues in unbroken line as far as from the Atlantic east across France and Germany, Austria and Turkey to the Black Sea; and that the same company is pos sessed of lands enough to give 300,000 families ample estates. And this, too, in a country where there is no call for soldiers; where the poor young man has the right to make the girl of his heart his wife, and with her to make a home outside of the demoralization of camps and without the heart aches which come of waiting. It is a land, too, where no caste rule places an embargo upon brains, where no laws place their restric tions upon birth or endeavor. It is a land, too, where no tremen dous armies have to be supported; no royal families; but rather where the highest gilt is open to 'the hand which is brave aad deft enough to reach up and take the prize. More, schools as free and as thorough as those of Germany stretch now in three lines all the way be tween the seas. From such a pic ture no edict of Bismarck's against American pork will pre vail, and after studying it for a while, even a review of the "Grand Army" would lose some of its magnificence, for all the armies of the earth passing in review would make but an indifferent picture compared to the . conquest which the 50,000,000 of workers in America, where every one is a sovereign, are making. It is no wonder if, with pardonable pride, "Villard seeks to have representa tives from his native land come and witness the kissing of the lo comotives in mid continent, that they may have a more wonderful history to relate upon their return than Joseph's brethren had to tell their father on their return from It, too, will be a big event in our own country. It gives to trade a new highway, it locates for commerce new capitals. It seems but yesterday when we read the story of the Custer massacre. It was the day after it happened, and when the place was told, the im pression it left upon the mind was that it was an infinite distance away. But now the vengeful Sioux have sought the walks of peace, there are smilling homes and the voices of children at play on the Rosebud, and the locomo tive makes the spot a breathing place as it rushes across the conti nent. This new path takes about the last terror from the frontier, and in places convenient to mar kets east and west a region which :&jliUle.'while,ajo was voiceless be-"SXse-of its remoteness from civil ization, and which is sufficient to support millions of people. The armies of old Rome centuries ago all mouldered back to dust, but the roads and viaducts which the "Iron Nation" built still remain as witnesses of their energies, their thoughtfulness and their enlight ment. But what road of Rome compares to this leveling and piercing of the hills, this exalting of tlm valleys, this making a smooth path for the chariot which is a cloud by day and a piliar of fire by night, to lead the modern world on new exoduses? It is a tremendous work to fetter a con tinent with iron bauds, and the ex ploit is not lessened though others have accomplished the same fent. Even repetition is simply a jiiew exhibition of American energy. Mr. Villard has a right to celebrate his triumph with as much ostenta tion as he pleases. The Country Newspaper. The following from the Chicago Tribune takes in the entire situa tion of the country newspaper: "What tells so readily the stand ard in a town or city, as the ap pearance of its paper? And its youth or its age can as well be de termined as by a personal notice. The enterprise of its citizens is de picted by its advertisements, their liberality by the looks of the pa per. Some papers show a good, solid foundation, plethoric purses, and a well-to-do appearance gen erally; others show a striving to contend with the grasping thou sands around them, trying to wrench out an existence from the close-fisted community around them. An occasional meteoric display in its columns of telegraph or local, or of editorials, show what it can do if it had the means, but it cannot continue its expensive work until support comes, which ought to be readily granted. A newspaper is like a church. It wants fostering in the commence ment and for a few years, and then, as a general thing, it can walk alone, and reflect credit on its location. Take your tiome pa per. It gives you more news of immediate interest than New York or other papers, it talks for you when other places belie you; it stands up for your rights; 3-011 always have a champion in your home paper, and those who stand up for you should certainly be well sustained. Your interests are kindred and equal and you must rise or fall together. There fore it is 3Tour interests to support 3rour home paper; not grudgingly, but in a liberal spirit ; as a pleas ure, not as a disagreeable duty; but as an investment that will amply pay the expenditure." He said he had been fishing in the headwaters, about two years ago; had fished nearly all day with indifferent success, when at last he had a "powerful bite." He worked for nearly an hour and landed the "bellfish," as he ex pressed it. "Stranger, j-ou may not believe me, but as soon as that ar fish was out of water, the fish an' I never sec the like com menced to flop and jump out of the water to follow him, an' with the help of my oldest boy, we took a pole an' an old net we had with us, an' caught near two bar'l of fish." We concluded that was a large "fish s&ry." He explained by saying that fish always selected one of their number as a leader, and follow it, just as cattle, horses and sheep will follow one of their number to which a bell is attached. Paper wheels, paper ties.and pa per rails arc a few of the uses of paper; but the most noteworthy experiment is a steam launch, built for the Westinghouse Ma chine Company, which has a sheathing of paper three-eighths of an inch thick, which is strong enough to repel a revolver bullet fired at a distance of 4 feet. A paper vessel, with a "hull" the same thickness as that of the launch, was kept in the water for eight months, and though without paint or other protection, remained without a sign of moisture in side or any evidence of disintegration. The Postal Telegraph Scheme. Mackey has had two experts ex amining the affairs of the companj ever since he left Europe the last time. He has come in to stay, and already put in over five hun dred thousand dollars. There will be a uniform rate of one cent a word for dispatches to all quar ters of the country. The compa ny has a contract for exclusive in terchange of cable business with Alderman Hartley's London Cable company. The system of our or ganization is precisely like the government telegraphs of Europe. The company will sell stamps at its office for various amounts, and messages can be written, and a stamp affixed, and sent to the re ceiving office without ascertaining rates, which are always the same. A considerable amount of the company's bonds arc held in Phil adelphia. The Philadelphia Time says: The accession of Mackey to the directory of the Postal Telegraph Company will not tend to rein sure the public that the scheme is not to bo merged into the Western Union after the usual manner, when it shall have reach ed a position where it becomes a real rival. Mackey's name means nothing promising when his man ipulation of bonanza stock some ears ago is recalled. The Boston Herald says if Mackey shall decide to back the Postal Telegraph company witli his money and his pluck, it is safe to say .Ta3' Gould's trip around the world will be stopped. If all men who advertise their wives, would at the same time ad vertise themselves, as did an east ern man lately, they would bo do ing the public one benefit at least. Making the usual statement, that Maria had left his bed and board without just cause or provocation, he continued: "As to trusting her, anybody can do so if they see fit; for as I never r.iy 1113' own debts, it's not likely Pll pa3' her'n."

BOLD BY ALLDBUGGI8T3 AKDDEALEK3 IK HEDIOIHE. A. VOGELER & CO., Baltimore, Ztd., V. S. A. A Time spcci.il from Bradford, Pa., says: A well-known Penn sylvania oil operator, recently re turned from the petroleum dis tricts of the Pacific coast, gives a glowing account of the nature and profits of the operations there. He says the finding of oil irthe Cali fornia districts is as certain as it was in the Bradford field. The drill always finds deposits, and no failure at least in three of the districts has yet resulted. It costs 7,000 to put down a Cali fornia oil well after the tools are on tho ground, or twice as much as a Pennsylvania well, but after it is down and flowing or pumping the California well is a much more valuable piece of property than the other.
