The Astobiaj; has recently published a full report of tho proceedings on the part of the Astoria Chamber of Commerce, in regard to the forfeiture of tho Astoria laud grant subsequent to Sir. Villard's letter of last September. At a meeting of the chamber about three weeks ago, it was decided to memorialize congress praying that the land grant be forfeited. Accordingly tho following was prepared by an appointed committee. MEMOEUX To restore to the public domain certain lands granted to tho Oregon Cen tral Railroad Company. To the Honorable the Congress of the United Stales: Your memorialists, the chamber of commerce of the city of Astoria, of the state of Oregon, would most respectfully represent : That on the 4th day of Slay, 1870. your honorable bodies passed an act granting to tho Oregon Central Railroad company of -Oregon the alternate sections of land to the extent of twenty sections per mile, including tho iron and coal therein, to aid in the construction of a railroad from Portland to Astoria, with n branch from a suitable point ol junction at or near ITorest Grove, to McSlinnville, in the state of Oregon. Said lauds were condi tionally granted to said railroad for a distance of twenty miles each side of said railroad, mid in case the ten full sections per mile could not be found on each side of said road within tho said limit of twenty miles, other lands should be selected within a limit of twenty-five miles on each side to make up such de ficiency. That said grant was made on the ex pressed condition that jsiid railroad should be completed in six years from said date, and that said limit expired more than seven years ago. That the portion of the railroad most easily constructed between Portland and SIcSlinnvillo (a distance of about fifty miles), was built within the specified time, but since that time no part of tho main line between Forest Grove and As toria (a distance of about a hundred miles) has been built. Nor is it in pro cess of construction. That the president of thoconipauj now holding the grant has publicly declared his unwillingness to build the road. That at tho timo tho grant was made there existed a prior grant made to the California and Oregon Railroad com pany that interfered with the nllotment to the Oregon Central Railroad company on the south and made it necessary thnt the full limit of twentv-fivo miles should bo cranted to the Oreoon Central on each side of its lino extending from Forest Grove to Astoria. But that tho grant to the Northern Pa cific railroad of lands lying in between Portland and Puget Sound was not made at this time, nor until Slay 31, 1870, by resolution, and twenty-seven days after the grant to the Oregon Central ilailroad company. hat tho irrant to tho Uregon Central Railroad company, therefore, is a prior grant to that of the Northern Pacific, and therefore the former company would have earned all of the overlappinc erant had the railroad been built in accordance with the terms of the act. We would further represent that tho lands of this company are rich in timber, iron and coals: that tho cost of the proposed railroad is not excessive, and we firmly believe that tho road would have been built many years ago if the grant had been held by parties whoso in terests were not against the building of the road, and would be built now if the land grant were only declared for feited. That this Oregon Central Railroad, built and to be built, is controlled by transfers and lease to the Oregon and Transcontinental Railroad Company, and tho latter company is opposed to any ex tension of its system to Astoria. we would rurther represent that tne Northern Pacific are now wrongfully claiming lands on the north sido of tho Columbia, but within twenty-five miles of the proposed Astoria railroad, which lands, we believe, should bo declared for feited with the Astoria land grant. lhat tho continunnco of this cnnt is acting as a barrier to the settlement and development of the country and its re sources; that it is also acting as a bar to the building or a railroad by any other company through the same section. wheeefore, lour memorialists would most earnestly but respectfully pray that all tho said lands granted tho Uregon Central Railroad Company, together with all land3 which are over-lapped by the .Northern I'aciuc limits, and wnich are within a limit of twenty.five miles of the viuguu ucmiui xumiuau o iwubuu iuuic ( whether in Wasluneton Territory or in Oregon) and all lands which would have inured to the Oregon Central Railroad in case it had been built, be declared for feited and thrown open to public settle ment under tho general land laws 01 the United istates. And we further most emphatically pro test against any transfer or patents be ing granted of any of this over-lapping grant (or any lands within twenty-five miles 01 tho Uregon (Jentral route) to the .Northern Pacihc Railroad Company, and as in duty bound we shall ever pray. X'assed the Chamber iov. 'Si, lbtw, Copies of this memorial were forwarded to Senators Slater and Grover, and Con gressman George, with instructions to hold them until further notified. It was also ordered that 500 copies bo printed to bo sent to the senators and rcpresenta tives in congress. The president and vice-president of tho chamber, being given to understand that an interview with Mr. Kochler, tho gen eral manager of the leased lines might 00 01 value, went to that gentleman s olbco and uad nn interview with him. The following letter is explanatory tnereot: Oeeoon- and Calikohnta Raileoad, Oregon & Tbaxb'1. Company, Lessee, Genbqax. SIanaoee's Office. Portland, Ob., Dec. 1st, 188L E. C. Holden, Esq., Secretary of Astoria Cliambcr of Commerce, Astoria, Oregon Deae Sni: I was verv mucHhileased at receiving a call from Judge Bowlby and A. w. Berry, .hsq., who handed mo your favor of 2Gth inst. The gentleman will no doubt confer with you in regard to tho matters discussed rt our informal meeting. I beg to say that I had instructions to endeavor to negotiate a construction con tract but that I don't feel authorized to enter into 4any negotiations until the re cent action of tho chamber of comnieroe passing resolutions petitioning congress to declare tho forfeiture of Oregon Cen tral grant has been received. r I was very glad, however, of hav ing an opportunity to discuss, with the two gentlemen named, matters in a gen eral nnu miormai way, woicn Deiieve led to a better understanding of the case on all sides. I regret lhat I cannot, under the cir cumstances, comply with the wish ex pressed by tho gentlemen to furnish them a memorandum in writing showing the principal points to bo considered in caso of negotiations, but I shall be clad to submit one after having received ad vice of such action bv the chamber 01 commerce as will make it consistent for me to do so. Respectfully yours, B. Koehxeb, Gen'l. Mngr. Leased Lines. At the last meeting of tho chamber it was decided by a vote of lb to 4 to push the matter of forfeiture and here the matter at the present writing stands.

Mayor Hahn pre siding. Present Councilmen Case, Car ruthers, Johns and Hume. The object of the meeting una to tako into considera tion tho erection of a fire alarm, and to provide for the payment of certain claims. B. S. Worslev appeared before tho council and stated that there had been about 1000 subscribed by citizens, and that to get tho alann that tho city re quired would need about C00 more. After discussion of tho question it was, on motion, resolved that tho matter be referred to the committee an fire and water, with power to act. The following claims were ordered paid: J. H. D. Gray. $11: I. W. Case. 18; T.Broemser. $l6.G0; Ed. D.Curtis fc Co.. S250: P. N. Kearney, 815, S15: T.

Tho remain er of the claims were referred. An ordinance making an appropriation out of tho general fund to pay the Gutta Percha and Rubber Slanufacturing com pany $822.15, was passed under suspen sion of the rales. An ordinance making a similar appro priation to nav the West Shore Lumber company $313.20, wai passed under sus pension'of the rules. Un motion, council adjourned. Election Sote. Next Wednesday takes place the elec tion of a mayor to hold office for two years, and one councilman trom oach ward to hold office for three yearn. The probable candidates for mayor whittled down yesterday to two. it ia now pretty certain that J. W. Hume will be placetl in the field, and it is about as positive that U. Jilorcan, Jr., will also be a candi date. Of tho relative merits of these two gentlemen we shall have more to say when their candidacy is an assured fact. Sir. Humo publishes'a card this morning in which ho very distinctly states that ho is not in any way pledged to any action concerning official nominations. A called meeting of citizens ol the sec ond ward was held last evening for tho purpose of nominating a councilman from that ward. The meeting was or ganized by tho election of C. W. Shively as chairman, and J. O'Brien as secretary. Sir. Thos. Dealy was unanimously nomi nated for the . position of councilman from the second ward. There will bo a meeting at Heading- ton's shop at half -past 7 this ovening to nominate candidates for mayor and councilman from the first ward. Being Circulated. A petition is being circulated worded as follows: "To the Honorable the Con cress of the United States: We tho citi zens of Oregon and Washington Terri tory would most respectfully but urgently petition your honorable bodies that, tho land grant of tho Oregon Central Rail road Company (Astoria Railroad) lie de clared forfeited, including all the lands within tho overlapping grant whether thev mav bo in Wasliincton Territory or in Oregon and that they may bo thrown open to public settlement.

It would seem as though tho trials and tribulations of the Jubilee singers had not yet ended. Yesterday morning they started to go to Portland on tho Flcciicood. but some little misunderstanding in reference to financial matters resulted in their going ashore, with their baggage. A telegram was received from A. W. Berry, ono of the passengers, when they reached Oak Jfomt, in regard to nis satchel, which had also gono ashore by mistake. The troupe is really not to blame in the matter of detention. They came here in good faith to sing, and naturally feel bothered over the shape nhairs havo taken. CnAKGCfO the Geoobavxtt. It has been mentioned by some person who has paid some thought to the matter, and on the whole it is not improbable, that it is only a matter of timo when a.channel will be cut through from Baker's bay to Mac kenzie's head, or a little north of it, thus making Fort Canby an isjand. It is as serted that the distance s only about a quarter of a mtle, and vthat in view of the good resulting trom ach a move, m forming an excellent harbor and isolat ing the fort, tho cost w6uld be trifling. It is also asserted that if -a channel was cut across this place that the action of the current would eventually create a safe entrance for deep draught vessels. superior to the channel now used. -Jour- nal. i IJcst Custom Work, Roots and Shorn, Can be had at I.

Cjqpman, from Antwerp, which arrived in port a few days since with her cargo of coal on fire, docked yesterday at Section 4 of tho seawall and commenced discharging. She was an object of considerable curiosity and attracted hundreds of visitors. So great was the number that it was found necessary to post a "No admittance" notice in a conspicuous place, in order that the men should not be interfered with in their work. Al though not enough of tho cargo had been taken out to fully determine the amount of damage sustained, yet it is already as certained that the vessel suffered consid erable. There is a hole burned through ui mo port uow vwo ieec in lengtii nv about twice that distance in width, anil several of the inside timbers are also con siderably charred. The question of spontaneous combus tion in vessels with coal cargoes is one that has occasioned a great amount of thought and suggestion, but as yot no successful method of prevention has been agreed upon. Fires occur mast frequent ly in highly inllammable cord, such as that used for making gas and for smith ing purposes. Owing to the close con finement and. the long voyage h IkxIj- of foul air and gas is generat&d that, coming in contact with the damp coal, occasions combustion, and it fre quently happens that a cargo, of coal is slowly consuming itself for days m a vessel's hold before it is discovered. In surance rates are much higher on cwl loadsn vessels than 011 ordinary cargoes and some companies refuse to insure ves sels laden with Cumberland coal unless wind sails are rigged and the air vr- muteu 10 circulate m tuo lower uoids. Dunng the past twelve veais the lo.Tm-s by fire through spontaneous coiubu&tioji in coal laden vessels exceeded $4,030,000 and hundreds of lives have been sacri ficed. Considering these facts, it is a matter of wonder that more stringent and careful methods havo not been dis covered and adopted. there is considerable diversity of opin ion as to whether the coal of this coast Is as liable to combustion as foreign coal. Tho agents of one well known colliery claim that their coal is perfectly safe, as it contains no sulphur. Others, how ever, say that all coal is liable to ignite except Sydney coal, and that the reason tnat there aro no cases of spontaneous combustion in these domestic vessels is that tho coal is only confined in the ves sel's hold for a comparatively short pe riod.
