A train of tan cars of canned cum, conspicuously lettered to attract attintion, left Portland, Me., last Frida' evening on a special fast sched ule, for Portland and Astoria. The captain of the bark C. D. Bfjatd, which was libeled by Henry Olseu, the pilot, made an application in the V. S. District Court yesterday for his vobscI. The court odered that it be delivered to him on Ins iv ing stipulation in tho sum of $1.5,000. Standard 1G. Tho P. C. S. S. Co.'s new steamer, the San Diegv, was launched at Chester, Pa., last Friday. She will be completed in about four weeks when she will leave for her place on the line of the company. She will be schooner rigged, 'M6 feet in length over all, 45 feet 7 inches beam, 22 feet II inches depth of hold, and will carry 200 first-class passengers. She is a No. 1 6hip in overy respect. The siJe-wlieel steamboat Alaska for the same company, and for service on tho Columbia river, is nearly com pleted and will be ready to leave in about two woeks. -The tramp steamer Hfwlras had tribulations enough to fill a volume when in the Columbia, and now it seems her troubles have begun afresh. She left San Francisco for Hongkong on the-Sth, and when just outside tho heads the crew mutinied. The vessel anchored and a consultation was had with her agents which resulted in tho discharge of her captain. This being satisfactory to all hands except Cap tain Bradley, who distinguished him self while hore, the vessel proceeded on her way in charge of a new mas ter. The Olympia Courier reports that Judge Wingard has filed his opinion in the case of the Northern Pacific Railroad company vs. David T. Marsh Sheriff of Whitman county. These ca3ea w ere argued at Olympia after theadj ournment of the Supreme Court by Jas. McNaught, attorney for the railroad compan, and S. C. "Voorheea attorney for Whitman county. The question involved was whether under its charter the railroad company wai liable for taxes assessed on its right of way and fixtures placed thereon. Judge Wingard holds that the right of way, roadbed, superstructure, depot, wood sheds, wator tanks etc. , are not assessable under bee. 2 of the Iorth Pacific Railroad Company's charter. This will probablv settle this question in Washington Territory, there having been no decision on that point, since the advent of the Northern Pacific Railroad into the Territory. Second and Third Class. About the 25th, passenger trains will bo running with regularity on tho N. P. R. R.. Arrangements for the running of second-class and emigrant trains have been particularly made, and the coaches will bo placed upon the line immediately following the ar rival of Yillard at St. Paul. The com pan' will have second-class ears on all tho through trains. These cars will bo made comfortable and convenient The fare, second-clas3, between New York and Astoria will be S90, with stop-over privileges. The company has made a special feature of emigrant accommodations, The cars are large, supplied with a stove for cooking, sink for washing dishes, and each passenger is supplied with a sleeping berth and mattress. The berths for ladies aro supplied with curtains. The emigrant fare will be 50. The Salmon Train. The first through fast freight train eastward over tho N. P. R. R, started from East Portland last Saturday evening. There were twen ty-four cars laden with choice Colum bia river salmon, much ot which was packed at Astoria. The train would have been longer had thero been more disengaged cars. It created quite sensation,being handsomely decorated and conspicuously lettered. Tho first car was filled with salmon from Sam Elmore's cannery, the Columbia Can ninrr Co.. Seaside Packing Co., Pa cific Union, Union Packing Co and Jas. WTilliam's cannery. In the second car J. O. Hanthorn & Co. had their brand; in tho third J. W. & Y. Cook of Clifton, in this county; in the fourth, Geo. T. Myers of Fisherton and fifth J. G. Megler of Brookfield. W. T.. had their consign meuts. Tho Astoria Packing Co. shipment was in tho sixth and seventh cars, in tho eighth was the Eureka Packinc Co's invoice, and tho ninth held a consignment to V. T.

Case, J. D. Merryrnan, A. Y. Berry. C. W. "Fulton, and Aug. C. Kinney, met Mr. Yillard in Portland to confer re- gardia his probable action in Tefer- once to the Astoria Forest drove ailroatu la that interview Mr. Yil- lard save the history of his efforts and enterprises and informed all and sun drv that at the time he went to the erman bond holders to make them take a second mortgage of 810,000 a ite on the southern extension from Boseburg, that he succeeded in ob taining their consent to provide means for the construction of a line to Astoria; the lino for which tho cor poration ho represented had secured a jrant in 1S70, to build the road or forfeit the grant in 187C, but which was still unbuilt. He informed the committee that he could raise the means to build the road "provided that upon due examination of the merits of the Hue, the construction of it should be advisable." That it was rly within the past few months just previous to that interview that he had been able to raise the money to build the liiie; that he wonld at once start a party of engineers and survoyors on the route, and that he believed that in sixty days he would be able to give some deimite answer retraruinc: the uilding of tho road. J&The committee returned and in due time a party of surveyors and engin eers appeared. Everyone interested has been anxious all summer to find something and no one appears to know Anything about it, except a few wiseacres in Portland who gravely an nounce "tne roau will bo limit; tho road wou't be built," so that cither way they can say "Diu'nt I tell ycu About ton days ago tho report of tiie surveying parly was made up. In it i3 reported to be embodied full in formation as to the length of the road one hundred miles, and its proba ble cost two million, three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a fair es timate, aU things considered. The impression Mr. Villard con veyed was that should the value ot the grant justify the building of the road it would be built; otherwise it would'nt. He now writos a letter to the Chamber of Commerce in which without saying a single word about the value of the grant, which all along seemed to be the reat questicn with this party of tho first part, he says that the Oregon and Transcontinental eompany is- unable to built the road; that the estimates are for $50,000 a mile in money, and 750,000 for terminal facilities at As toria. The plain fact is either one of two things either Yillard is bluffing, or he can't raise the money to build the road. The high figure he sets upon the cost of construction would seem to indicate that he was bluffing, for the veriest tyro iu railroad con struction knows if he knows anything, that 830,000 a mile is if anything above the averane cost of railroad building and that it is only where long tunnels and heavy cuts are requisite that the cost exceeds $40,000. As to the $750,000 required for terminal facili ties, that only increases the appear ance of an effort to bluff, for Mr. Yillard knows that ample facilities as far as site, water f rontaco. etc. , are concerned, could be procured for nominal figure, and his buildings need not cost him one-fifth of that amount. But it is prooable that he cannot raise tho money, and that is the reason for his declining to build the road. All that Mr. Villard need do is to re linquish his grasp on that fair do main. If he lacks ability or inclina tion or both, let .him give others s chance who will. Following is that portion of Mr. Yiilard's letter which refers to the building of the road: I regret to say that the ostimatcs of tho cost of the line in question, now before me are so lame that it will bo impossible for tho Oregon and Trans continental company, as lessee of the Oregon and California railroad com pany, to undertake its construction. According to the engineers figures, tho co3t will be no less than an aver- ago of $50,000 per mile in money, not including the probable cost of proper terminal facilities at Astoria estimat ed at $750,000. Under tho existing mortgages we could not possibly is sue more than the nominal amount of $30,000 per mile in bonds on the line, and there are absolutely no means to meet tho deficiency at the command of cither company. We must, therefore abandon the project. I was surprised to learn, sometime since, through the Portland newspa pers, that responsible parties stand ready to build the line and turn it over, ready for operation, in considers iion of the land "rant from Forest Grove to Astoria. I take pleasure in saying that I am ready to do whatever lies in my power to bring about such a transaction, or any other, by which the road could bo constructed. At the interview to which Mr. Vil lard refers, in answer to the questio: would ho be willing to let the grant go tirovidcd he wouldn't or could n build the road, ho replied that ho would offer no objections "person ally," but the trustees had control of that matter, and that they would have to be consulted. There is good deal of shuffling and equivoca tion about that uart of it. He fails to say what he will do with the grant probably thinking that is not his af fairs, but something for the other side to devise. He make3 it plain enough that tho corporatiou he repre- sents declines to build the road, and r that 13 better to too than to havo the matter as it has been for tho past seven years. A Good Idea. A stoma, Sept. 17, 18S3. En. Astokian: Much land has been burnt orer this summer and if now sown down with proper grasses would yield abundant I pasturage. I have written to a farmer in Washington Co.. who has :fj v :u A;fr,an, . . i i r I Kinaoigras3onournlumueriaulUr Ins opinions. For pasturage he recommends a mixture of the fol-1 lowing kinds and amounts per acre 2 lbs timothy seed, 2 lbs orchard grass, li 1U3 misqmt, 1 lb Italian rye grass, 1 lb red top, 1 lb white clover, and 1 lb Kentucky blue grass.

All tho through mail from Chicago and eastern cities still goes to San Francisco and from thero it is carried north bv the Ceiitral Pa cific and Oregon Division to Redding, thence carried by stage to Roseburg, and from Roseburg taken on the Oro- ;on and California railroad to Port land and Astoria. So that if a letter ere addressed in Chicago to an As- lunuu anu uiuu uruppcu into ii umircu i States mail box, it would go m that roundabout way notwithstanding the opening of tho line.

I what you hear as a guest is almost universally a transgression of hospi tality. But I was told a story of ount Lippe do Wcsaenfold which is too irood to be buried in the silence that surrounds the friendship and hos pitality of a citizen's mansion. While tho train was coming in Walluia Junction with the foreign guests on board, Count Liippo was standing on the rear plattorm, and conversing with a gentleman of high rank in th Prussian army. The latter looked about him and said: "Well, this is wonderful. This is a ereat ride. Three thousand mi.e3 and not a soldier iu sight." "les. replied uount Lappo, in a quiet way, "and yon might have also &aid three thousand miles and not a begtjar in sight."

A prettv good story ia told of Mr. McCain of the Dallas Itemizer, who is a minister as well as an editor. Ho was in Albany recently, and when he was ready to go home he asked the landlord of the Revere House for his bill. "Two dollars," said the landlord. "I'm editor of a paper in Dallas: don't you make a reduction for edit ors?" 'Yes, certainly: editors half price.' "Well," said McCain, gazing at the big dollar in his hand, "don't you make a reduction for ministers, tool 'Of course: ministers half pneo, same as editors. "Xow yon see," continued the min ister-editor, "I'm a M. E. minister, and so I thought perhaps 'lou don t owe me anything, raid the astonished host, "you get right out of hero,'' and ho reached for tho inkstaud as McCain disappeared through the door and headed for the down mail train.
