Chikese Gabdeks. In boyhood's days the patient industry of the ant was brought up as a good example of what steady toil could do, but after watching an ant for about half a day and noticing how it went aimlessly around as though in a terrible hurry, and brought up not two feet from where it started without having anything done, we concluded the ant was a poor model for a boy to imi tate. This is a damp, poor climate for ants and they don't tnrive, but their human prototypes, the Chinese do. A visit to the tract of land below the Washington Packing company's prem ises will show how these human ants accumulate provender and coin. What was a short time ago u wilderness ot brush and fallen logs and interlaced boughs and trunks of trees, and almost impenetratable thicket, has been trans formed into gently sloping gardens, in a high state of cultivation and producing largb crops of garden truck, wnich find u ready sale in Astoria. By dint of goug ing and grubbing and leveling and alasu ing and burning, and at an immense ex penditure of Chinese muscle, these Mon golians have a veritable bonanza. They leased the ground from Col. Taylor for a period of years, and their ability to make it productive and profitable seems lim ited only by their number. Thoy have about 100 acres altogether, and work under the direction of two of the six Chinese companies on this coast. Some of their proc3ediugs seem strange to a Cauoasian, but they "accomplish their purpose, which is to utilize everything and make it "pay." Nothing goes to waste; what the pigs or the chickens won't eat, they'll eat themselves, and everything fattens the ground and makes the vegetables grow most luxuriantly. When thev fatten their pigs, of which they have about 4U0, they get the requis ite number of pauudsof fatonthecarcas- in about half the time and at about one tenth of the cost that would be entailea on Caucasian pork. Feed.n, them swilt, keeping them warm and in a darkeneu pen would seem to be the modus oper andi, and when on rare occasions tney kill a 400 pounder it is a day of great re joicing and constitutes a Chinese feast. Gathering an abundance of fuel, ana casting it into a rudely built furnace or oven they wait till nothing remains of the wood but a glowing bed of coals. Then the defunct pig dressed or rather undressed and cleaned in the highest style of the art is deftly split down the Spine from his delicate snout to his dainty little tail, and thus halved is laid neatly on the fiery bed and coved with mats and cloths so arranged that they cannot singe. Thus after the fashion of s Missouri barbecue, only more so, is the roast pork prepared, and cooked in ti;a wsy ii sell n a-kus pla.ei thr ugh Chinatown where it tiada e iger puro. ers. In every part of the city these yel low men with their horrible rat-like thrift collect all manner of garbage and refuse, and in connection with the screaming sea gulls act as the scavengers of the city. They are making money at the business, and certainly earn all they get. The Huxbebt's CAPTAtK. Captain R. S. Davis of the bark C.

On Wednesday there was filed.in the office of the Multnomah county clerk by the Safe Deposit and Trust company of Boston, p mortgage on all the property belonging to the South ern Oregon Improvement compaxry for $2,000,000. Ths company's property lies in Coos and Douglas counties, but it has franchises to build railroads and operate ateamboats in Oregon and Washington. It is understood that work will be com menced as soon as the season opens to build roads and steamboats. Sewerage. Astoria has the best drain age facilities of any city in the United States, but the opportunity afforded to get rid of sewerage and excrementitioas matter is sometimes neglected.

Tobbs was more surprised than affront fid. Looking at the grocerymau square ly he said with dignity, "You do not give me credit, sir. for having bought groceries of you for the last six months!" "That's just what grinds me. If I hadn't given you credit for it I wouldn't kick." Tot?

The adoption of resolutions by the Minneapolis board of trade, condemning the new rates of the Northern Pacific, was preceded by fiery speeches denouncing the company. From the railroad point of view the fol owing considerations are advanced: The pres ent system has been in existence upon the Union and the Central Pacific routes for a number of years. When the Union and Central Pacific routes were opened to the Pacific coast they had much to con tend with in the old established sea route. Merchants were then accustomed to receive all their freight by water. Ow ing to the comppratively light expense under which ocean steamers are oper ated, this competition was great to over come, and the railroads were obliged to make rates which, in order to be accept able to the merchant, had to be extremo ly low. The problem was originally solved ';y the adoption of a special con tract system. The Onion and the Cen tral Pacific made contracts with the Pa cific coast merchants for the transporta tion of pretty ranch all their freight, and a portion of the freight the railroad car ried at an actual loss. When the North ern Pacific was opened a similar policy was adopted by the road. TfaiB, officials of the road say, was rendered necessary by the fact that Portland was also an ocean port, and had the same facilities as San Francisco. Before the Northern Pacific was fin ished, Oregon and Washington were Portland territory. The merchants of Portland were dependent upon that ter ritory for snpport. The Northern Pacific Railroad company realized this, and de termined to protect Portland's interests, and low rates were mad6 from New York to Portland. In order to enable Port land's merchants to ship goods from New York to Portland advantageously, as compared with those offered by the water route, rates were made the same from New York as from St. Paul, in order to protect Portland merchants from St. Paul and Minneapolis competion. By the rates now in use St. Paul is pre vented from selling goods in Washington or Oregon. That territory rightfully be long? to Portland, and were it t..kon away from it its large business houses would be compelled to close up for want of pat ronage. It is to the interest of the North ern Pacific that this be prevented. The railroad company, therefore, makes St. Paul or New York merchants who wish to ship to points in Washington pay full rate to Portland, plus the local rate from Portland to the pjint to which shipment was made. Another reason given as com pelling the adoption of this policy is that the Northern Pacifiic has no through line of its own to Portland, the Oregon Rail way and Navigation company's line com pleting the route, and that company does not want Portland territory placed in a position that would lay it open to St. Paul and Minneapolis competition. The whole trouble, says the Northern Pacific office, resolves itself into two questions. First, have the merchants of St. Paul and Minneapolis any right to de mand the trade of Washington territory and Oregon, and are the rates to those points too high? To the first of the questions the Northern Pacific answers emphatically "no." The company is of course anxious for the prosparity and business advancement of its great east ern terminus, but it is also determined to protect the merchants of those large towns upon the western end. The only way it could protect both was to divide the territory. This had been done and idaho is the dividing line. All points east of lake Pen d'Ureillo being to St. Paul and Minneapolis, and the territory west of that point to Portland. THE DAILY SCBAP BOOK. The State of California is due to-morrow. The Gen.

Sprague realizes the folly of locating and building in a gulch.

The moneyed men of Seattle and Walla are urged to build a railroad be tween those cities. The Post says: "What is the uso for longer waiting? The North ern Pacific will do nothing this year, and their inaction is the people's opportun ity." Writing of the coal land contest in Pierce county, the Seattle Pest: "The land is now yorth $100,003, and will be worth $1,000,000 in ten years. There are about 2-3,003 school children in the terri tory, and their interests in this land may be truthfully stated at $4 apiece. Six of the leading Columbia river In dians, says the Walla Walla Journal, came up yesterday for a coference with Gon. Grover, regarding their troubles. They stated that the difficulty rose from the effort of Gen. Milroy, the Yaquina Indian agent, endeavoring to control their actions and force their children to attend sohool on the Yaquina agency, x'he Columbias do not admit that Gen. Milroy'a jurisdiction extends to the islands of the Columbia river and will not obey- his mandate?. The Indians told Gn. Grover that a member of the Yaki ma reservation police had threatened to take thoir ohildren by force from Long island, their home, and emphasized these threats with the statement that if the parents attempted to prevent the remov al of their children they would be shot through the arm as punishment. The latter statement, was, doubtless, un authorized by the agent, but it seems to have worked the Columbias into a most uncomfortable frame of mind, and they demand protection. THE NEW WORLD AND THE OLD. The Virginia legislature has adjourned, to the last urging Mahone to resign.

The English government is advised by generals in the field to continue active military operations in the Soudan, but it has been determined to negotiate with the Arab?. France announces in response to over tures from China that it will recognize peace on no other terms than indemnity and the recognition by China of French supremacy over Tonquin. Senator Miller, president of the Alaska Commercial Co., thinks that the proposed congressional investigation into the com pany's affairs is prompted by personal motives intended to injure his chances for presidential nomination. The New York Times says that Arthur is not a lodestone; his is not the magnet ic name in New York. The Blaine sen timent in the interior of the state is com ing up with an emphaBis that bids fair to override the friends of all other can didates. J. B. Montgomery, who is in New York, announces the railroad programme to be that the Northern Pacific will lease the Oregon Railway and Navigation lines and take the Oregon and California off the hands of the Or?on and Transconti nental. "Otherwise they would fall into the hands of tho Oregon Short Line." In the house of representatives on the 19th, Bosecrans reported adversely, from the committee on military affairs, a bill for the relief of citizens of Oregon and Washington, Idaho and Monttna terri tories who served in connection with United States troops in the war with the Nez Perce Indians, and for the relief of heirs of such as were killed in such ser vice. The report says: "Information to the papers accompanying the biU is too indefinite to justify the committer in rocommsnding the passage of tho bill." IVotico.

A special from Now York says: At tho beginning of the jear Vanderbilit makes it an invariable custom to take a careful inventory of his immense property. His strongboxes are opened, their contents counted and from the total the profit for the year is recorded. In January, 1833, ho told an intimate friend, who had dined with him that day, -that he was worth $191,000,003. "I believe I am," said Mr. Vanderbilt, ".h j richest man in the world. In England the Duko of Westminister is said to be worth 2C0, 000,003, but it iB mostly in lands and houses. It does not yield him 2 per cent a year. From now I shall be worth more than $200.U00,0C0, and will huve an in come equal to 6 percent on that amount." When his talking fit had left him, the modern Midas repented his hasty speech and asked that it be not repeated, claim ing that hfa word3 were but boastful and bis wealth exaggerated. A few days ago Vanderbilt swtt some Eapers to a gentleman with whom e had business relations. On loooking them over the recipient was aston ished to find the rough draft of a memorandum in Vanderbilt's peculiar handwriting. It was dated January 15, 1834, and was evidently his last balance sheet, which, by an oversight, had been folded inside another paper. Of course the secret could not be kept. An error or two may have crept in the aocouuts on their travels, but in substance they tell the follewing: Vanderbilt has regis tered in his namo and in coupon bonds $54,000,000 in 4 per cents, maturing in 1907. He has lately added to thesa $4, 030,000 in 3K per cents and yet retains a trifle over $1,U00,000 6 per cents. Four per cents are worth $121 and tho market value of his governments to-day is $70, 000,003. But the bulk of the wealth of the king of millionaires is invested in lailroaa securities. He holds 2.0.0C0 shares of Michigan Central stock, 300,010 shares of Northwestern, including 83, 000 shares of preferred stock and a block of Omaha; 2 J0,000 sh ires of Lake Shora and 120,000 shares of New York Central. Besides these there are smpller amounts in a score of other stocks, among which ara 39,000 shares of Rock Island and Lackawaunn, where the total is 20,000. Of the others he has in all 21,840, a grand total of 930,840 shares of stocks. Of various railroad bonds there are an aggregate of $ J-J,120,-OOJ, and of state and city bonds, 3,'jOO, 0J0. In miscellaneous securities, manu facturing stocks and mortgages, the sum of about $2,000,000 is shown to be in vested, lteckoniug at present pricts the value of Mr. Vandeibilt's railroad stock is $83,750,000; of his government, $70. 58J.UL0; of his railr.ad bonds, $JG,1&7, 420, and of his other securities a trifle over $5,030,000. The aggregate is $201, 332.413. Vanderbilt puts down an item of real estate, etc., at $3,010,00. In this is in cluded his splendid Fifth avenue man sion, which, with its furniture and con tents, cost nearly or quite $3,000,003. His magnificent art gallery, witu its p-ms of modern masters, reprtsent nearly $l,0t0, 000, the estimate being that of u local connoisseur who is familiar with the gal lery. His stables on Fifty-first street, oc cupying a most desirable bu.lding site, represents $200,000; while the equine beauties thtre luxuriantly lodged would not be disponed of for as nuch more. MaudS would bring $75,00J at forced sale, &nd her owner would not dis poso of her for any price. Early Eose and Aldine are also he:d above price. Vanderoilt can take life comparatively easy on an income cf $12,0C0,uu0 a yet.r ana watch wealth pila up without any effort of his. From his governments he draws $2,b72,000 a year; from his rail road stocks and bonds, $7,391,320; from his miscellaneous securities, $57o,j9j, or $10,342,015 from his investments al me. Thus evtry day they earn for him $2J, 331.25. Jivery hocr sce3 him $118J.57 richer and every minute means $19.G0 addedto his hoard. Brides this he cal culates to make $2,000,000 every year by fortunate sales. His investments last year, he calculated, did this. This rich man lives well, but not lavishlv. Last year his ordinary expenses, he stated re cently, were but a trine over 200,000. Steamer Days for March. From San Fran. From Astoria.
