OUR STATE ItEPRESESTATIVE.
As related in auotber column, Con
gressman Georce entertained the
house ol-jepresentatives last Friday
by a speech in opposition to the bill
forfeitin-the Astoria land grant. It
is not for us to question the purity of
bis motives nor the sincerity of bis
actions, thougb it requires the exer
ciss of Christian charity to refrain
from caustic comment on the sight
afforded by a representative that vre
helped send to Washington stand in
the national capitol and there de
clare that because in the judgment of
the corporation that held the grant in
defiance of the grant's provisions,
deemed it unprofitable to build the
road for fourteen years after receiv
ing the conditional grant, that they
should not now be made to forfeit it
"What rould the community think
of any man who made a bargain, and
with the terms of the agreement be
fore him in black and white, try to
sneak out of it because in his subse
quent judgment 'it wouldn't pay?"
It would be unfair to further criti
cise Mr. George's speech, as the tele
graphic account is necessarily meager,
but it is manifest that the bill will not
pass if the very man who should exert
himself lor his state can prevent jus
tice being done the people that sent
him to represent them.
To the credit of Carl Schurz be it
said that he has declined the proposed
gift of $100,000 from New" York
friends. Schurz is no longer editor
of the Post, and is a poor man; the
mean things that he allowed himself
to be associated with while he was
secretary of the interior may never be
wholly forgotten, but his action in
declining thi3 proposed gift is a com
mendable one. There are, however,
those who think that Schurz still has
political aspirations, and that his
declination is as much a matter of
policy as anything else.
The Willamette Farmer thinks
that "western Oregon and "Washing
ton will soon have excellent commu
nication with the world and with the
interior, or Inland Empire that is, if
the transportation enterprises that we
are in need of come to pass. Time
will no doubt see a system of railroads
that will make Astoria their objective
point. Eoads will develop the coast
line of western Oregon and Washing
ton, north and south of the Columbia,
and connect the mouth of the great
river with Portland and this valley."
The general report from California
is that the San Francisco merchants
are afraid they are going to lose the
Oregon trade. There may be a tem
porary diversion of trade from its
accustomed channels, but it is prob
able that our southern neighbors "will
continue to get their share. Oregon
has always been buying a good deal
that could oetter be produced at
home, and the cessation of such
purchases will bo greater year by
year as the work of state develop
ment goes on.
A French scientist, Mons Ducha
tre, has shown that moonlight as well
as sunlight may have an influ
ence upon plant-growth. Seed
lings of lentils, vetches, etc,
whioh had been kept in a dark place
at once began to bend towards the
moon when exposed to its light, and
continued to moe with it.
Despite the strong opposition of
all the leading commercial organiza
tions in the Eastern States, and many
in the South, to the further coinage
of standard dollars, it is not likely
that congress will take action on the
subject at its present session.
0?steh3 ltwo menes in diameter1
have been "discovered" in Puget
Sonnd. The only surprising thing
about tbe discovery of oysters on he
Sound is that the bivalves are only
two inches in diameter. They might
just as well have been six.

The new water-works of New York
oity will cost from 825,000,000 to $30,
009,000. A 259-foot dam in West
ohester county, thirty-five miles from
the city, will make a Teservoir hold
ing 85,000,000,000 gallons. The city
uses 103,000,000 gallons daily.
Foetheb reports from the .wrecked
steamship Daniel Stdnmann show
that but nine were saved out of a
total of 131. The captain, who was
one of the nine, says that he mistook
one light for another, thus running
the vessel on the rocks.
Aooordikg to Josblin, fishes have
been caught at depths where they
must have sustained a pressure of
eighty tons to each square foot of
their bodies. That may properly be
considered an almighty tight squeeze.
A coxtbactob on the new court
house at Hailey, "Wood River, has
barricaded- himself within the build
ing, and is holding possession under
ghotgun law. He refuses to abandon
the premises until paid for his wort.
ShaiiIi the next session of the Orc
gon legislature begin next September
or next January? is a question now
being asked, and by the answering of
which some solon can reap immortal
fame.
y
Schookebs are constantly arriving
at Yaquina bay with railroad iron for
the O. P.'E. E. Some of them draw
