ASTORIA, OREGON:
FRIDAY AUGUST 24.18S3
Consumiuatuni Est.
Aug. 22. The east and west
ends of the Northern Pacific Knil
road met at 2 o'clock r. at., to-day,
480 miles east of Wallula Junc
tion. Ox the afternoon of the 2Gth of
September, 1873, we were in
DrexePs office in South Jhird
street Philadelphia, when the great
news was announced of the failure
of Jay Cooke. "That knocks the
bottom out of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad," was the comment
of that prominent Uanker, and of
the millions who read the state
ment that the financial projector
of the Northern Pacific had failed,
few deemed it within the limits of
possibility that inside of ten years
the great transcontinental line
would be an accomplished fact.
The completion of the third line
of railroad from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific coast marks a
new era in the h:st6ry of the
country, and opens a new chapter
of history. "What the Central Pa
cific has been to California, the
Northern Pacific will be to the
empire it traverses, with this dif
ference and addition, that while
the Central Pacific was an expo
nent of aggrandizement, its north
ern rival will exhibit a commer
cial policy that must inure to its
greater benefit. At present its
enterprise is ahead of its popula
tion along its track. But the tide
of immigration from northern Eu
rope will occupy a broad band of
territory on each Bide, and the
company will by creating the de
mand itself furnish the supply.
Thougli locally, we of Astoria
feel aggrieved over tho persistent
policy of delay that has character
ized, throughout, tho action of the
railroad managers as regards the
Astoria land grant, yet, as a com
munity, sensible of the advantages
resulting from more rapid commu
nication, we must give due credit
to Henry Villard and his associ
ates for the magnificent success
that has crowned their efforts. A
year ago, a prominent official of
the company in answering a letter
of inquiry which we had addressed
him relative to the contemplated
action of the companj' between
here and Forest Grove, replied, in
substance, that when pressure oc
casioned by the effort to build the
main line was relieved b' its com
pletion, the attention of the com
pany would be mere specifically
diverted to the pushing forward of
the line from Forest Grove to As
toria. The fact that the building
of that road seems to be in accor
dance with the best interests of
the corporation, justifies the belief
that the road will be built.
"The other side had more mon
ey than we had," is the reason
given by Chairman Campbell for
the failure of the telegraphers'
strike. He says the strike cost
the operators about 4:00,000 in
wages lost and . money expended.
He estimates that it cost the West
ern Union company, indirectly
and in the future losses in busi
ness, incidental expenses and de
preciation in stock, a sum in ex
cess of what it would have cost it
to have paid its operators the ad
vance asked for ten years. The
moral effect has been to show the
public that not only the operators,
but the public at large, are at the
mercy of two or three men, so far
as the telegraph business is con
cerned, and it has shown the pub
lic the danger of being absolutely
at the mercy of a band of mo
nopolists, whose only thoughts are
of their own private interest. The
"Western Union will recover very
quickly its ability to transact busi
ness, but in his opinion it has lost
to rival lines a large amount of
business that will never return
to it.
Sm "Hexry Thompson', the
London surgeon, recognizes in fish
a combination of all the elements
of food that the human body rn
quires in almost every phase
of
life, more especially by those who
follow .sedentary employment.
To women he considers fish to be
an invaluable article of diet, but
he scouts as a complete fallacy the
notion that fish eating increases
the brain power. "The only action
fish had on tho brain was to put a
man's body into proper relations
with the work he had to. do."
There are indications, says the
Nautical Gazette, that all of our
leading ship yards will be busy for
some time to come, each one now
having a fair quota of work.
There is really more solid talk for
tonnage now than there has been
for a long time, and when tle va
cation season is over we may ex
pect to see very lively tim. Tiip
day is coming when the ffceiiitie
and especially of our present ship
building establishments will not be
equal to the demands made upon
them, and, of course, new ones
will .spring up to supply the in
creasing wants of eoiiimtMW.
These assertions are made ujxmi
the best . authority and w?ll be
found to be correct in thf imw
future. We have a large field
opening to us, and even foreign
ers have learned by experience
that Americans can build the best
iron vessels to be found anywhere,
and in due season we shall be fa
vored with an abundance of for
eign orders. The tone of our
shipping interests is healthy and
encourajrinsr.
GtK.vpe growing in California
pas about as well as any form of
agricultural industr;, even with
out discounting the extravagant
stories told about the profits of
orange culture. Tho Napa Ji'j
islcr tells of a vine grower in
Green Valley who has a vineyard
comprising only twent'-one acres,
but those yielded enough to on
able him to ship 100 tons of grapes
to a wine cellar in Napa City and
9,000 boxes 35 pounds each to San
Francisco, and still keep on hand
ten tons for his own use. The
grapes thus shipped by him sold
for $30 per ton in .Napa City and
at two cents per pound in San
Francisco, giving him 5,100. The
entire cost for growing and selling
the fruit was $S30, leaving him a
net profit of over Si, 000, or more
than 200 an acre. Wheat grow
ing, even with the most successful
crops, could not have paid over
SS0 an acre. The laud that yield
ed so bountifully could have or
iginally been bought outright
for much less than the . profits of a
single year.
Pitor. Pkoctoi: saj-s that a let
ter weighing half an ounce on the
earth would weigh four tons at
the sun. "Were the same rates of
postage to there prevail as exist
