ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY. OCTOBER 1C, 1S83
Aftermath .
It is reported that many stock
holders of the Northern Pacific
arc much dissatisfied because their
stock has depreciated many points
of late. Their irritation was in
creased by the expenditure of a
large sum of the company's money
about 250.000, as currently re
ported to feast and otherwise
provide for the guests at the cere
monies on completing the road.
They restrained themselves, how
ever, pending-the event, apparent
ly because of the belief that it and
the great excursion of foreigners
would result in a buoyant influ
ence upon the price of the securi
ties of the compaj'. They were
disappointed and their disappoint
ment grows daily. In their latest
grievance, it is said, they have the
companionship of President Yil
lard. The foreign excursionists
whose expenses were guaranteed
by Yillard from the time they left
their homes until the' might re
turn to them, are now returning.
They were let loose to follow their
own inclinations .after the golden
spike was driven and m:fny have
since been slowly enjoying their
way back from the Pacific coast at
the expense of the Northern Pa
cific. Some of them evince no
disposition to leave it. There are
guests of the Northern Pacific
who want to see the sights of New
York. Some do not want to re
turn except op certain steamers.
Now that the road has been
opened and that the stock, instead
of booming, has persistently pur
sued a contrary course, the foreign
guests have apparently inspired no
buying orders from abroad and
Villard has confessed to the enor
mous floating dqlt and slapped
another mortgage of $20,000,000
upon the property, the bonds un
der which they are to be sold at a
handsome discount, to say nothing
of the handsome commission,
some stockholders begin to feel
that the money that is being ex
pended for high-priced hotel bills,
wines, and other luxuries for for
eign guests might better be ap
plied to their own interests. The
company is economizing in other
respects by dispensing with the
services of those employes whose
labors are not absolutely necessary
for the conduct of business and
the operation of its road. It is
said that the reduction of the force
cxtcniLMYom the executive officers
in New York to the train hands
and shops, and that the next econ
omy will be extended to the pay
rolls of the company. According
to some of the stories told in
Wall street deadheadism ran riot
during the trip across the conti
nent. "Wki.1. informed parties state
that immigration to the Pacific
states next year will exceed any
thing et known. It is learned
from private sources that arrange
ments have been going on for
some time to induce an immigra
tion from Europe to California, in
which the Central Pacific is the
prime mover. Independent of the
exertions of the state immigration
bureau, the following figures of
' business done by the land depart
ment will give a fair idea of the
large influx of settlers for the past
twelve years, and of purchases by
them. The average annual cash
sales of land by their road since it
commenced operations reaches
S3o0,000, while sales including
credits have reached over a million
dollars. Last July sales to the
amount of S201,o50were made. The
largest representation of foreigners
during the next year, who are ex
pected to settle on the coast, are
Germans and Swedes, with a lesser
number of Irish. Immigrants
from the western states will, in all
probability, give Oregon and
Wasningtou territory preference,
as inquiries from those localities
are (generally directed to northern
sections.
Free Passes.
The Seattle Post Inielliiigcncer
very justly reiterates its former
remarks concerning free passes,
and illustrates it by a casein point.
It does seem plain. Here we have
a man elected to the "Washington
Territory legislature, who goes to
Olympia on a free pass, and the
first thing he does is to pocket
127.20 mileage that the people of
our sister territory pay him for
traveling expenses when these ex
penses were paid for by the O.
R. & N. Co. It may be all right,
but some people would give that
a very hard name. Leaving all
matter of "improper influence,5'
etc., out of the question it becomes
a matter of common honesty; can
a man take what he hasn't earned?
On the other hand the question
arises does the O. R. & N. Co.,
give a legislator a pass on account
of his exalted and distinguished
character as a private individual?
By no means. John Smith never
could get a pass, but the Honor
able j. smith, Legislator from Po
dunk can easily get one. For
what? Value received, and noth
ing else.
CojQrissioxEi: McFAiiLAXDjOf the
general land office, rendered a de
cision recently, which, if sustained
by the secretary of the interior,
will restore to the state of Kansas
more than one million acres of
public land, previously certified to
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad. It was averred by the
state that the grant made by con
gress March 3, 18G3, to Kansas, to
aid in the construction of the road,
was on conditipn that it consist of
odd numbered sections only of un
appropriated public lands, within
ten miles or less of the line of road,
and branches proposed to be con
structed, and that all the lands
which, previous to the approval of
the act, had been certified to by
the United States or otherwise dis
posed of by competent authority,
were excepted from appropriation
by the act. The land office rec
ords show, it is said, that there has
been certified to the state, for the
benefit of the road, an immense
quantity of land in excess of the
amount to which the company is
entitled, as the line of the road
was not duly located within the
terms of the act, and the Neosho
valley branch, for which lands were
withdrawn, was never built. The
value of the land restored to the
state by the commissioner's decis
ion is said to be about 5,000,000.
Appeals will probably be taken by
the company to Secretary Teller.
The frequency of divorces
among people in the humbler ranks
in Switzerland is accounted for by
the custom of allowing young per
sons to marry with the clear under
standing that if they grow tired of
each other's" society at the end of a
year they will go before a court
with a petition for a divorce on the
ground of incompatability of tem
per; and this petition is generally
granted.
The Wall Sired Ncics is in
formed that eighty per cent of the
Pacific trade, originating in New
York, is going via New Orleans
and the Southern Pacific as against
the Union Pacific; also that all the
trade, destined to Washington
Territory and Oregon, for fall and
winter consumption, has been dis
patched over the Northern Pacific.
The total interest bearing debt
of the United States on the 1st of
Otober was $1,313,G17,100, and
non-interest bearing $54:2,GG3,25S;
total, $l,S64,924,52d. Taking
from this the money in the treas
ury and the actual debt of the
nation is reduced to 1,521,811,1 50.
With the retirement of General
Sherman from command of the
army on the 1st of November, the
title of "General" will expire. It
was originally created for Grant,
and when Sherman succeeded him
it was agreed that on his retire
ment the title should lapse. Lieu-tenant-General
Sheridan assumes
command, retaining his present
military title.
The Beechers arc never happy
unless they are shocking some
body. Henry Ward came through
hero sometime ago shaking up the
dry bones and sending an earth
quake through the religious strata,
and now Thomas K., his Elmira
brother, has shocked good and bad
people by saj'ing that a man has
power over his life, and has the
right to commit suicide if he feels
like it.
Sexatoi: Edmuxds states most
positively that he does not intend
to retain the position of president
pro tern of the senate. He intends
to resign immediately after organ
izing the senate, and Senator An
thony will be elected in his place.
A committee of Invincibles is
said to have been formed at Dub
lin, having paid spies throughout
the British colonies and in North
and South America to hunt down
and exterminate all informers.
Iow.v gives a Republican major
ity of 25,000, and elects a Repub
lican legislature who will pass
prohibitory laws. Ohio gives a
Democratic majority of 14,000 and
defeats prohibition by 7000.
The Bolivian senate has ap
proved by a . large majority the
motion to treat alone with Chili for
peace, on condition that Bolivia
secures some territory on the Pa
cific coast.
It is now estimated that one
hundred and fifty million bushels
of wheat will be required to supply
the English home market.
