The Opening of a Profitable Trade to
Astoria.
Copying and endorsing the recent art i
clo in The Asroaux concerning the pro
posed new transportation company, the
Chehalis Valley VideUc -f tiic 14th says:
In acsonlunce with lh? intimation of
hi.s purpose, above mentioned, 3lr. Hume
arrived horo last Friday, and proceedod
to canvass the valley for subscriptions to
stock, only desiring to place enough to
indicate a local interest in the enter
prise, and to seenrata his boat the carry
ing trade of the valley. He left on Tues
day, having secured about two thousaau
dollars in subscriptions, which he as
sured us was amply sufficient for his
purpose, and he also informed us that
immediately upon his arrival in Astoria
he would proceed to have a boat designed
especially for this route, with a draught
of about eight feet, so that even in the
present unimproved condition of tho
river, she can come, at any stage of water
to Alontesauo, and that she would be put
in readin&ss for the route as fast as men
and money could build her. " "
She will be staunch, and in every respect
capable and will be fitted up in the belt
possible style for the accommodation of
both freight and passengers.
air. xtume former informs us that he
has under serious contemplation the
project of building a boat to ply between
the large warehouse which he proposes to
build on the Wisupah and UlocKhoaas
.Smith's, on the upper Chehalis, and that
with that end in view he would shortly
send an expert river steamboat man to
examine the upper river immediately and
report upon tne plan of a ligut draugat
jteamer necessary to navigate its wateru.
jlis idea is to carry up all the freight of
the upper valley and bring down its pro-
duca to a connection with the ocer.n
steamer, a scheme which is entirely prac
ticable, and if carried into effect must
prove imnienselj profitable. Thus every
difficulty connected with transportation
for the lower valley and harbor is solved,
.md an excellent orosnect for opening ud
the upper country is in view, in view of
the present highly encouraging outlook
our people have every reason to take au
abiding and grateful interest in tho en
terprises proposed by Mr. Hume, as they
combine th6 elements of great helpful
ness and positive certainty, he being pos
sessed of abundant means, and not being
a man to turn back after having once
put his hand to tho plow, especially when
his business venture is one which his
judgment fully endorses, as is the cass
with him since his recent trip through
the valley, during which he saw such evi
dences of development and latent re
sources as ho had no idea were to be
found here.
In conclusion we will suggest to our
people that as the putting on of this
steamer, which is of so much importance
to us, is an Astoria enterprise, originated
and sustained by Astoria capitul, the in
terests of tne business men of that city
who have contributed to it should receive
favorable consideration. To two firms,
both of whom have contributed liberally
toward the enterprise, we direct special
attention, namely, C. H. Cooper ic Co.,
and Stone & Davidsju, the first being an
extensive wholesale dry goods concern in
Astoria, and the second wholesale pro
duce buyers and shippers in the sime
city. These firms are desirous of build
ing up a trade in this valley, and as they
have invested largely in the coming
steamer with that in view, and as we owe
nothing to Portland merchants, who have
steadily refused to consider us, or our
wants, in our hour of pressjng need, thp
Astoria business men who have heard
and launched out and helped us are
worthy of our patron iga, and we sincere
ly hope they will get a liberal share of it.
At a meeting of tho directors at the
company's office yesterday afternoon it
was decided to build a boat 115 feet long,
2 i feet beam, to draw nine feet of water
when loaded, and to carry 175 tons deck
load, to have cabin accommodations for
twelve passengers, and attain a speed of
seven knots an hour. The boat is to be
built here. There will be another meet
ing of the company to-morrow evening.
Didn't Sec Arthur at lit.
Senator Dolph, of Oregon, has very en
larged views concerning the importance
of his senatorial position. Last Tuesday
night, at the president's reception, there
was such a long line of carriages, and
such bad management of them, that some
of the guests did not reach the White
house until the hour for tho close of the
reception. Dolph got into the White
house grounds at 9:30 p. ir. Here be
found his carriage blocked so long that
ho became desperate. Sticking his head
out of the window he bawled to the
driver of the carriage in front of him:
''Get out of the way; I am Senator Dolph
of Oregonl" The driver invited the sena
tor of Oregon to "go to Halifax." The
senator at this got out in the rain and
walked up to the occupants of tho offend
ing carnage, and complained of the
driver's impudence. The people politely
told Dolph to mind his own business.
They belonged to Senator Palmer's party.
They added in polite phraseology that it
was a good thing to know enough to go
in when it rains. The Oregon ssnator
thereupon promptly retired. Palmer,
who "was in the second carriage in ad-
vanoo of Dolph, employed strategy and
finally broke the blookade of carnages.
He beckoned to a policeman, and ex
plained to him that the president was
waiting for him. This faithful officer
got Palmer's two carriages up ahead of
everyone else, while tho unfortunate sen
tor from Oregon never reached the White
house at all. Oregonian Special.

Says tho MoMinnville Rzperter: We
hear of a school mister up tne road who
was recently discharged under paouliar
circumstances. His wife was attending
the pchool as a pupil, and for disregard
ing Home of the rules laid down by her
liege lord she was expelled, and tue di

a verdict that they had no further use
for either the teacher or the pupil, and
consequently both were sent to their
home.
The Quileuto river, says the Port
Townsend Argus, is composed of four
branches; each branch is composed of
good farming land. Fish and game are
abundant. Elk, bear, deer, wolves, and
wildcats are plentiful. We have the
largest tract or unbroken forest in tho
United States, it extends from Cape
Flattery on the north to Gray's harbor
on the south, a distance of over a hun
dred miles; also from the ocean to the
Olympic range, covering from thirty to
forty miles wide. The mountain streams
are clear, cold, soft watsr, and oontum
trout and salmon. There are falls of
from five to fifteen feet one sixty. A
small steamer could ascend the main
stream about fifteen miles in the winter
and could go about the siin3 d.stancd in
the summer if the stream wis improved.
An important decision affecting the
right of American steamers to tow in
Canadi.i waters has been decided in Vic
toria. Some time jago the American
steamer Goliah picked ud a British ship

uer to x'ort Moody. Tue Miaaier brougut
ie t i an anchor in the Victo ia outer
harbor, and entered Victoria haroor and
coaled. The captain then went to the
custom house and procured a clearance
for Pott Townsend, and went outside
and pioked up tho ship again and towed
her into the straits. When fifteen miles
off Victoria, he cast tho ship off, entered
Port Townsend, cleared for Port Moody,
came outride, picked up the ?hin again
and towed her to Port Moody. When he
next entered Victoria harbor his vessel
was seized. The chief juitijo decided
that the Goliah had violated t ie coasting
laws of Canada, and imposed a fine of
$400 and costs.

What orton, of the TIdcttc, Think of
"Hired Lackeys."
As a rule, partisan or personal nows
papsr organs do not meet with the suc
cess that attends unbiased individual
effort. The p2rson or party using an
organ of this kind rarely, if ever, finds it
sch a help as expected and often it
proves a detriment. Its utterances are
received as coming from a hired or prej
udiced standpoint. Free enlightened
Americans detest nothing more than the
efforts of a newspnper that is nothing!
more thiin a hired laoKey, when it should
be an independent loader of public .senti
ment. The individual or partisan cause
that needs bolstering up bv a hireling
newspaper is looked upon with doubt and
distrust. Almost any otltr kind of a
paid agout may pursue his calhu" with
out being looked upon a di,c " ; but
anewsnaner. never. Partisan r.r ,., .n, 1
organs rareiy succeed m getting aioii
amicably, either. Usually their bosses
disagree or one Is favored more than an
other, atid dissensions follow. The same
objection applies in a greater or less de
gree to newspapers owned and controlled
oy. joint stccc companies for specific pur
poses. Baroly does a newspaper sucioed
until it has been the means of sink
ing thousands of dollars; the
amount lost is usually m propor
tion to the mugiutude or the
enterprise, btock holders have to sub
mit to assessments in order to meet cur
rent expenses, and becoming tired of this,
they turn upoa tho management as in
competent, und not infrequently the
, . . j- . .
whole thing passes into the hands of
some publisher who takes the property
and assumes its liabilities. Very rarely
does a pubhsaiug bus.nnH succei until
it has passed througa thtHj starts and
reached individual ownersuipand man
agement. Then, it has generally changed
s j much from what it was o.il-iIihIIv m-
tanded that the object has been defeated
as tnorou;by as if tne business had died
oatngut. It is the ii.d vidua), free, o ..t
so&tn, untr unuieleJ and fearless, tnat
wins admiration :u ue jouraa Jstic field.
Thu least show of partiality, or the mere
suspicion of being under uudue influence,
win effectually cr.pple h:s elfortc. One
reason why so few papers succeed, even
at best, is that even few people learn to
appreciate the enormous coat of earrjiug
them on, until the lesson has been learned
.n the b.tter tchool of experience. Peo
ple estimate tho probable cash income of
a newspaper, and jump at tuo conclusion
that it must be a literal miuo of wealth,
wnen, if t aey would but look at the other
