tmim ToL xix. Astoria, Oregon, Friday Morning, September 14, 1883 No. 142. THE. NORTHERN PACIFIC The Northern Pacific lias been successfully completed, and an other overland road one that it is hoped will be really a competing line offers its advantages to Washington Territory and Ore gon, and may soon in some way affect our own trade with the east. It is a great work and reflects credit on the gentlemen who have for the past two years been push ing it forward to completion. The region opened to settlement is rich and productive and will be a great factor in the wealth and prosperity of the United States. t is unlimited in its resources, Northern Minnesota and Dakota having millions of acres of magni ficent wheat lands, Montana and Idaho being rich in minerals and "Washington and Oregon abound ing in wheat and lumber. The eastern outlets are convenient. One is on Lake Superior, whence wheat can be shipped direct to England by water during the summer, and another is at St. Paul, on the Mississippi, whence communication with Chicago and New Orleans is had with facility. The road traverses a high latitude, thought to be extremely cold be fore the Canadian Pacific was pro jected and it was found that fine wheat could be raised in British America almost to the Arctic cir cle. Its winters would indeed ap pear long and almost unendurable to a California!!, but they seem tropical to thin blooded citizens of Manitoba, who, when they get tired out with a season of ice and snow that promises never to end, quietly sell out their land and sur reptitiously steal across the border, whore they can locate themselves with greater regard to personal comfort. It is not known what Mr. Vil lard's plans are in respect to Cali fornia or whether he has any. The "Willamette valley road is ap proaching the northern line of the state, where it will meet the Cali fornia and Oregon, which is beinjr slowly pushed through the moun tains to meet it. "We arc not at present to be directly connected with the east except by means of the different lines belonging to the Central Pacific, which every year tighten their anaconda folds about us. The Northern Pacific opens no new country for us ex cept the mountain districts near the Oregon line. "We can hardly; believe that Mr. Villard will stop where he is. It is one of the laws of railroad building that it can never stop. Extensions and new feeders are constantly needed to accommodate the trade of dis tricts that are being developed, or to prevent business being captur ed by rival organizations. A few 3ears ago a railroad company thought it had all it could do to manage a single short line a few hundred miles in length. Now all the great lines have purchased and absorbed until the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania Cen tral, the Illinois Central, the Chi cago and Northwestern, the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy and some others have in absorbed lines, extensions, branches and feeders, several thousand miles of track, and arc constantly acquir ing more. The Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy, the Union Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe end in the middle of the continent, and must inevitably come to San Francisco, though the owners of the Central Pacific may, by shrewd underhand manipula tion, postpone the day that is sure to be an evil day for them. The Northern Pacific must pur sue the same course if it means to draw upon the resources oE the whole Pacific coast, which it un doubtedly does. It will not b? enough for it to come to the California line; it must cross that line and be able to offer to the merchants and producers of San Francisco and the state induce ments to avail themselves of its transportation facilities either to the cast or to points on its line that may need our products or my wish to visit us ior business purposes. While ireignts are interchanged with the Central Pacific no one will be perfectly satisfied; certainly not the mana gers of the Northern Pacific, who will be completely at the mercy of their older and wealthier rivals. Mr. Villard promises generous ly; perhaps not too much, but certainly quite enough. He will hold the lines of management over his road very closely, asking no favors and granting none. He expects that his road will pay well, which is, of course, just at present problematical. lie hopes in a few years to see "Washington and Oregon, and the region which lies along his road, filled with flourishing towns, cities, and agricultural communities. This may be realized, ltfogh the reality' may not be so brilliant as his dreams. There is no disposition on the part of any one in Califor nia to expect too much of the Northern Pacific, though he may hope that his state will eventually be benefitted. San Francisco will also hope that some good may ac crue to her in the future. She certainly will never trouble her self to be jealous of the progress and prosperity of Oregon or any of its cities, knowing well that what is good for any part of the Pacific coast inures to her own ad vantage. S. 7' Chronicle. To Australia in a Small Boat. The steamer CittofXcw York, from Australia, arrived yesterday a day or two late, owing to an ac cident to her crank pin, causing a delay of eleven hours, and com pelling her to continue the voyage with but one engine working. Among her passengers was Ber nard Gilboy, who on August IS, 1SS2, sailed for Australia in a small boat eighteen feet, long, six feet beam and thirty' inches deep. The little craft was fitted with masts, provisioned for four months, and carried one hundred and forty gallons of fresh water, which serv ed as ballast. For two weeks rough weather and baffling winds were encountered, causing a delay of ten days, and frequently the boat would be filled with water, necessitating arduous labor to keep her clear. Ninety days out, he lell in with the schooner Tropic JJird, from which fruit, etc., was secured. Up to December 1 3th, fine time was made, averaging from ninety to one hundred miles a day, but on the latter date a heavy sea capsized the boat, which was righted only to be capsized again. Righting her again the masts were taken out and allowed to drag in the water. It took till morning to bail the water out of the boat, when Gilboy found that his compass and other instruments, provision for fifteen days, one of the masts and rudder had been lost. It was 1,400 miles yet to Australia, and the only instrument saved was a sextant, by which the longitude and latitude could be ascertained, and the only guides were the sun and stars. A jury and rudder was rigged and the little boat sped on over the track less sea for nearly two days, when an enormous swordfish pierced the planking, making a hole through which the water poured with alarming velocity. "With great difficulty this was plugged up with lamp wick, twine and other mate rials. In time the remainder of provisions gave out, and Gilboy for sixteen days sustained life on alcohol and water, a few flying fish and a couple of birds he caught. On January 29th lie was picked up in an exhausted condition by the schooner Alfred Vittcry, Capt Boor, 1G0 miles from Sandy Cape, Australia. Be ing landed at Queenstown, he put iu two months recovering from the effects of the rough trip. He was 1G2 days iu his boat and two days on the schooner. After ex hibiting the boat in Australia he brought it back here with him. Being asked if he would make the trip again Gilboy said: "Yes, if anybody will make it an object to me." Being asked how he man aged to sleep and attend to his boat at the same time, Gilboy said that for the first month he secured about five hours' sleep out of the twenty. four. For better safety and to get more needed rest he rigged up a piece of canvas six by four feet, which was bagged and fastened on the port bow in such a manner to offer no resistance so lonj as the boat went forward, but as soon as the craft got out of position or sailed backwards, the canvas acted as a drag. V. Call, 3. lie was all unlearned in the no menclature of female apparel and adornment, but he had been as signed to a fashionable gathering. The lady friend who was present attempted to instruct him. "There," said she, "that lady has a plas tron.'' And the next morning the readers of his paper were informed that Miss Dash, by an ingenious arrangement of ribbons and lace, had succeeded in effectually con oealing the porus plaster she was obliged to wear.
