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

roast pork prepared, and cooked in ti;a

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 XOUTHEI1X PACIFIC RAILEOAD
COMPANY.
How It Explaia the Xew Tariff Sehednle.
St. Paul, March 19. 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.

Six of the leading Columbia river In

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.

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.
