Ever3'thing was done to try to save him, but it was to late. He said nothing about his guilt or innocence. He left a note to the Sheriff, in which he said he did not want his body opened. He requested the Sheriff to deliver his body to his wife for burial and to give his gun, pistol and 37.75 to Hon. W. D. Fenton, to do with as he chose.

Occasionally in listening to a dis cussion of the railroad cmestion, one hears it said: "The place is hi" enough; I don't want a railroad," etc. This idea is a poor one. It im plies weakness on the part of its pos- sessjr, and a total lack of public spirit. Rapid communication has be come one of the necessities of the age. By it bettor forms of living arc pro duced, business is quickened, compe tition is induced and life made in every way belter worth living. Tho man or the business that is afraid of the competition that growth entails deserves no groat amount of considera tion. A railroad is not ono of the prime essentials to a place, yet present conditions are, lew things are more potent in making a prosperous ity than a line of railroad especially when the city is a terminus, and a competing point. inn" recommends it k the favorable 1 he audit t the van.nu r-mu3 attention of capitalists, n3 proiab?y agreod t abide by his decision :oui h S100 would build a road to deep water, choie the St. Paul, Milwaukee A Chi and we feel assured that Knappa will cao line as the route from St. Paul nrove one of the wealthiest places, as to Chicago, it bciii" 100 miles the it is now the nleasantest on the river, shortest, and the Pennsylvania Cen In your last issue you speak of but tral as the route thence to New York fnni. cntirw.lo 1w"nrr in nnnMlinn in ihn I Tills Eliltictioll Was aUUOUllCt-d Jilld the in ins "o "i- - county.

T., June 29, for Esquim- bo, was wrecked August 29th. The crew were picked up by the British ship Leicester Castle, bound for San Francisco, from Newcastle, K. S. Wr. Tho captain was drowned. Dick Surjet of Union county, re cently reached the Washoe ferry on Snake river with 450 head of hue American horses belonging to Surjet tt Winters. He concluded to swim them, and put in 150 head, and 48 out of the bunch were drowned. Tho loss was S5,000. Thc country to the north and west of us is being rapidly developed; claims are being taken up in great numbers. The expectation is that when tho projected railroad is run from the Sound to Gray's harbor lino of steamers will be put on bo. tween that point and San Francisco, i ue total state tax lor ;the year 18S3 is five and six-tenth mills upon thc dollar, divided as follows: Four mills on accouut of current expenses one mill for the completion of tho in sane asylum building, one-half of one mill for the payment of tho Indian war debt, and one-tenth of ono mill for tho support of thc state univer 8ity. Why is it that The Astorian published at Astoria, Ureon, can furnish us later news than the Port land Xcivs. Although The Astouiax isjmblished one hundred miles further away and reaches us via Portland yet it furnishes us later dato than th Xeics. Curry Co. Post. The reason is easily given. We get the first whack at the San Francisco papers, from which the JVcics gets its "specials" when it gets anything, The can Jcrancisco railroad con ferenco has agreed that the Central Pacific, Southern PaciSc, Galveston ' Harrisburir and San Antonia, Union Pacific. Northern Pacific, Texas and Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande, Bu lington and Missouri River, Atchison Topeka aud Santa Fe and the Atlantic and PaciGc railroads shall pool their business. Portland is placed in every respect on the samo footing as San Francisco. Trouble is reported in reference to thc wrecked bark Cairnsmure, a parly bavins cone drtwn to tho scene of the disaster and claimed possession at the same time refusing to recognize the claim of Brown & McCabe, to ho'ni the vessel and cargo were sold for 8450, last Saturday evening. We are not sufficiently acquainted with maritime law to hazard an opinion the point 8ecmin; to turn on the question whether Captain Gibbs and crew did or did not no. niton the ves sel.

Uetore this arsenal the marshal re treated and hastened to telegraph to tho collector at Taeoma not to allow the vessel to pas3 the coal station, but he found the telegraph wires down. At Taeoma Captain Adani3 has'.ened to the collector, represented that the ship was aground, and hurried away with speedily procured clearance pa pers, and then he escaped the marshal and his bond of SS00. But when Richard III reached San Francisco, there were the marshal's deputies pre pared to take Captain Adams in irons to Seattle, but the captain could not be found, although the search has been continued for more than a week. jxow it has been decided uy the own ers to procure Captain Adams, to have him arrested and placed under bo&ds, and abide by the result of His perform ance with the marshal.

This settled the matter, as the Northern Pacific hav ing only ono kind of tickets could soli no others, and the Ruck Island agents threw up tho sponge aud withdrew from the field. To the great majoritv of thc pioneers it can make no differ enco by which route they travel from St. Paul to Chicago, and certainly most of them would prefer tho shortest, especially as theaccommuda- tions are equal in every respect, if nut superior, to those of any other line. But the strife over this matter will show to our casy-yoini: people how terribly in earnest our eastern ousins are in business matters, ami win jrive them a hint of what they may expect, too, at every turn or tueir journey when once cast of the Rockiea.

Wo would not discourage the Asto ria iieoplc in their, eltort to securo liiilrojd connection to their prosper ous und enterprising city. But, on the contrary, we urge them to keop up the fight. They must sooner or later have all the people of Oregon, except Portland, rally to their sup port. But, if they can get a road built to Astoria, it will only bo upon the basis that the people of Oregon through its legislative assembly adopt and enforce the bill known as Senator Clow's bill, of Polk county.
