ASTORIA, OREGON:
WEDNESDAY XOVEMBEK 14, 1S33
AS IT IS.
The eastern Oregon dweller, says
the "Wasco Sun, can dig and plow
and harvest, but when he comes to
dispose o his harvest, he is snubbed
by a power which declares, ?'we own
the only way to market The passes
on each side of the Cascades we own.
"We will not allow a boat on the
river to carry passengers or freight
tins magnificent river is virtually
ours; we have by the power of our
capital by carrying passengers at 25
cents each driven off the people's
line which carried them for $2.50
and we now rejoice in charging &LS0.
"We have control of everything con
nected with the marketing of the
products of labor transportation,
telegraphing, expressing; we virtu
ally fix the price of wheat and all
products, for are not the Improve
ment companies and the Transpor
tation companies ours? Coal and
wood are ours; and no man can
operate in lumber unless he bows to
our charge. The public need not
think they nre a power. Can't we
forco them to go to Portland, 25
miles out of their way, and pay for
handling all their products there?
For we are prepared to do it; we get
the profit "Won't we charge what
we please, for no competition can ap
proach us? "Wo need not build the
road from Portland to Astoria or any
lino under our legitimate charter,
yet hold an empire of land in Oregon."
Hon. Cassius M. Clay has written
a letter in which ho says: "Ex-President
Samuel J. Tilden having de
clined the nomination for the nresi-
dency in 18S1, Governor-elect Hoadley
of Ohio, is the man. With genius,
common sense, and great experience
iu affairs, bold, individual, and mag
netic, altogether of such stuff as
heroes are made of, let Hoadley be
our nominee for president in 1881,
and the Republicans will go."
Fouit years ago the question that
agitated the minds of western "Wash
ingtonians was "who is Hall?" Hall
was ostensibly a land agent at Olym
pia, but a mjstery to everyone. He
finally disappeared. It now trans
pires that his name was T. C. Calvert,
of Bowling Green, Ivy., whose ideas
on the acquisition of property were
so indistinct as to occasion his hur
ried departure from the blue grass
region.
The Prince of "Wales, in closinc the
International Fisheries Exhibition at
London, announced that the substan
tial surplus would bo devoted to im
proving the condition of the fisher
men. Ho expressed the hope that
hygienic and inventors' expositions
would be held soon, and said he pro
posed to have a colonial exhibition
in 183G.
C After is in his grave, a group of
informers are drifting about on a
British vessel, afraid to land in any
part of the world, a detective in the
Phoenix Park murder case has just
been driven by the persecutions of
the Fenians to attempt his own life.
and McDermott is afraid to leave his
English prison Tor fear of sgsassina
tion. xi
"Tnn Republican party of the na
tion," Senator Frye of Maine says,
"is in n much better condition to-day
than it was nine months before Gar
field's election. The trouble is, peo
ple forget. The Republican party
will win ui 18SL"
Mb. YiLiiAnD has stabled Old Nig,
the horse which drew the first and
last loads of rails for the Northern
Pacific roadjComfortably in New York,
there to p:iss the remainder of his
days in peaceful enjoyment of all the
oats he can eat
It is somewhat noteworthy that,
while the aggregate vote for govern
or iu Ohio was 718,1GG, there were, as
the official count shows, only 11 scat
tering votes, all the rest being given
to the four regularly nominated
candidates.
Tnn Chicago Times has been sued
by the People's Railway Company of
America, for $500,000 for saying that
the company "is as villainous
schtmie as was ever concocted to rob
poor simple people of their money.
It is estimated that over L000 hunt
ers are engaged in slaughtering deer
and buffalo along the line of the
Northern Pacific, between Mandan
and Livingston, Montana, and the
game is fast disappearing.
A fierce tornado swept over the
Northern and New England states
last Monday, causing widespread dis
aster to shipping, resulting in great
loss of life on the lakes and Atlantic
coast
There are Democratic Governors

including New York, Pennsj'lvania
and Ohio, and yet the presidential
year abounds with uncertainties.
Among the 50,000 postmasters in the
United States, S8,000 a year is the
highest salary, and five cents is the
lowest. There are forty-seven who
recefte one dollar a year salary.
San Fbajjcisco freights are so low
that ships are going elsewhere in
search, of cargo.
EXECUTIVE STYLE.
Coxtbaby to the usual custom
President. Arthur is scrupulously
careful concerning the letting out of
a single word of his annual message
until congress lias first read it He
will probably write his message, as he
did last year, at high pressure. The
sheets will bo written in the presi
dent's little private room, and the first
light of dawn will tinge some of them,
for the president thinks he does his
best work after midnight The chief
magistrate, as he writes his message,
has no companions but some choico
cigars, and his desk is heaped with
reports, documents and .manuscript
Last year President Arthur was very
nervous lest his message Bhould get
to the press before it reached con
gress. Ho sent for the public printer
and said: "Mr. Bounds, can I depend
upon you to put my message into
type and keep it away from the news
papers?"
"You can, sir," said Bounds.
"Very well; Pll try you, and shall
hold you personally responsible for
its safety."
The public printer took tho manu
script, rushed back to tho govern
ment's great workshop, cut the man
uscript into very small takes, took off
his coat, put on his apron, and with
his chief clerk, set the typo for the
most important parts. The presi
dent sat up all night reading the
proofs as they were sent up, galley
by galley, from the printing office.
The public printer watched eaoh
proof as closely as though it had
been a government bond. At six
o'clock the message was in type, re
vised, and the president went to bed.
At noon it went to congress. From
beginning to end it will be seen that
it is no child's play to write and send
to congress a message of this sort.
The debt of the United States gov
ernment was diminished by $10,301,
793 during tho month of October.
The present interest bearing debt of
this country is $L312,41C,050.
The Prussian Government has made
offers for the purchase of six railway
lines, which, if accepted, will put the
entire Prussian system in the hands

"No. my dear," said tho venerable keeper
of a country store to a timid little girl whoso
head acarcoly came up to tho level of tho
counter. "No, my dear, rro haven't any rod
flannel, but we have some first rate New Or
leans molasses." Softly hinting that she
didn't think that would answer tho purposo
quite aa well, the child went her way in
search of the article ehe wanted.
"Have you BENSON'S CAPCINE PL AS
TERS?" asked a gentleman of a certain drug
gist whoso name could be Riven were it de
sired. 'I am troubled just now with a touch
of my old friend, the lumbago, and the Ben
son's Plaster seems to go to the spot almost as
soon as it touches the skin."
"Not at present." replied the druggist, gen
ially " but. wo havo lots of plasters just as
good. There is Allcoek's, the Capricorn and
others won't ono of them do as well?"
"My dear sir," retorted the gentleman.
with a slight show of temper, "I say nothing
against thoso articles, but I am a business
man, and always ask for precisely what
want, and for nothing else. I may enlighten
you, however, when I say that sometiino ago,
for another disease, of which the Ca peine has
since cured me, I tried all those you mention.
with no appreciable benefit. They aro ineffi
cient, every one of them, tho meanest act of
the proprietors of somo of them being this
that they mako plasters with similar sound
ing names to dectivo tho unwary into bcliov-
ms tney aro tne same thing. Experience
taught mo the difference. I'lf go to tho next
man in your line. Good day."
Boon i our guard against imitations. The
genuino has the word CAPCINE cut cleanly
in tho middle of tho plaster. All others ore
impositions.
