ASTORIA, OREGON: "WEDNESDAY- AUGUST 22, 13S3 Bar Improvement. Time was when Tin: Astorian, singly and alone kept up the agi tation concerning the necessity for improving the Columbia river bar, and demonstrated that as a matter of public policy the improvement of the mouth of the Columbia was paramount to all other considera tions of river improvement on this coast. Of late the Ornjonutn and other papers have given valuable aid in this respect: unity of effort an'd opinion on the part of news papers will insure ultimate suc cess: if every paper published in the territory drained by our great river would give the matter the favorable consideration its import ance demands, and which results would justify, the time would be hastened when vessels of the deep est draught could safely enter and load in the Columbia river. On this point, the Portland Journal of Commerre, of the 17th, says: If the political" influences which have controlled our stale on both sides of the Cascades as also Eastern Washington and Idaho, had been illumined by busi ness foresight for the past half dozon years, and directed the ex pended volume of federal appro priations for river improvements with a definite purpose to supple ment the approaching overland railway system with ship naviga tion through Columbia Gateway, instead of disintegrated outlay upon the Columbia and its tribu taries in spots likely "to do the most good" to catch votes, the city of Portland would not now be in the fix of the five "foolish vir gins" we read of, whose lamps were not trimmed on an important occasion parallel to what will be our situation when that golden spike is driven on the Sth prox imo. The federal appropriations re ferred to have amounted to over a million or more, with but slight beneficial results; whereas, had at tention been first devoted to the main channel of the lower Colum bia, with the upper river and ths tributaries following in due order of improvement, the agricultural and business interests of I lie Pa cific Northwest included in the entire Columbia basin would have been already permanently en hanced, and the effect "would have added increased value to the pro ducer upon every bushel of wheat passing over Columbia bar, by reduced charter rates, insur ance, etc. This policy is imperatively de manded under the new conditions presented by the railway terminal system at this point, in which all the inhabitants of the "Willamette valley, Eastern Oregon and Wash ington, as also Northern Idaho, are alike interested. Even if a branch line to Puget Sound should be constructed from the upper Columbia via Yakima, it is more than important for that section to have two competing points of trade and export. Our Portland contemporary sug gests that a general convention be held in Portland composed of rep resentative men from all sections interested, the object being to demonstrate to congress the great demand for river and bar improve- j ment and the magnitude of the in terests involved. In the main the idea is a good one and should be endorsed. Programme of the Celebration, The programme of the opening exercises on the Northern Pacific Railroad, published last Wednes day, announces the departure of the excursion trains from New York City, August 29th, via Pennsylvania, Erie and New York Central roads, arriving at Chicago on the 31st and visiting the Pull man Car Works. The special trains of. sleepers and dining cars leave Chicago the next day, one via Rock Island and Pacific and the other via North Western, ar riving in St. Paul September 2d, and proceeding without change- of cars to lake Mmnetonka, remain ing two days and participating in a banquet given by the citizens oi St. Paul and Minneapolis. Septem ber 4th, the trains arrive at Fargo, at midnight at Bismarck, and leave Billings on the Gth, after witnessing a war dance by the Grow Indians, arriving at Helena at one o'clock the next morning. The train will leave Helena on tne Sth and reach the point where the last rails are to be laid at half-past nine in the morning. The cere monies begin at ten and end at noon. Trains leaving at two o'clock the same, day arrive at Spokane Falls on the 9th, Walla I Walla .Junction the 10th, and Portland on the evening of the 10th. An excursion on the Co lumbia and Willamette rivers and j to the Sound then follows, until September 20th, when the trains leave at 7 r. r. for St. Paul, pass- ! ing by daylight over the divisions j ot the road traversed m night on I the outward journey.

Some of the railroad people seem to be of the opinion that the Astorians want the land grant for feited in order that it may be giv en to some other company. That is incorrect. There is no desire to have the grant transferred to an' other company. It would be use less to try it All is asked is that the grant be forfeited so that the country may be settled and the way opened for a railroad to be built. Jay Gould being asked recently if a commission of the telegraph strikers called upon the officials of the company, would they treat with them, replied: "We are ready to receive a committee of our old employes, but not if they represent the brotherhood." "Will you compromise with them?" was asked. tlYou had better see the superintendent about that." Walt VimiAX says that Americans, impressed by New England wn ters and schoolmasters, tacitly abandon themselves to the notion that the United States have been fashioned from the British Islands only, and essentially form a second England, which he re gardsas a verv great mistake.
