THE AS10RIA LASH GRANT.
Further advices come by mail concern
ing the house discussion regarding tho
Astoria land grant forfeiture bill. When
it was brought up, the reading of tho re
port consumed nearly an hour, and then
Mr. Paysonof Illinois explained the pro
visions of the bill. The measure, he
said, was unanimously endorsed by the
committee on public lands. It involved
1,130,800 acres of public lands. The
claim made to a portion of them was
made solely by the Oregon Central Bail
road company, and no other corporation
was interested iu it. On the part of th. t
corporation there was neither a legal nor
an equitable claim to a single acre of the
land involved.
In reply to a question by Mr. iforr, of
Michigan, Mr. Payson sta'ted that twenty-live
miles of the road had been com
pleted, but that the bill provided that all
the land should be forfeited, because the
company by its failure to complete the
entire line within the time limited by the
granting act had no just claim to a sin
gle acre.
Mr. Horr further inquired whether
congress had the moral right to declare
forfeited the land along those twenty
five miles. '
Mr. Payson replied that that was a
question which every member must de
termine for himself, but that it had the
legal and equitable tight to do so vis it
proposition which he had never heard
disputed except by railroad attorneys.
He also explained that the bill validated
the title of settlers who purchased land
from the company, but did not grant re
lief to the holders of the bond which
bad been issued on the land grant.
Mr. George, of Oregon, criticised the
bill for the loose manner in which it was
drawn, declaring that its effect would be
to forfeit the earned part of the grant
and to forfeit the unearned part. Was
there ever a measure equal to that?
Mr. Kowell, of Illinois, opposed the
forfeiting of the earned portion of the
grant, contending that it would open up
a series of law suits that would be a
blight on the settlement of that part of
the country for years to come.
Without final "action the matter went
over.
Railroad Disaster.!?"
The west-side train, due here at 3ii0 p.
M., met with a disaster about one mile
north of Cornelius yesterday afternoon
and did not arrive here until 5:15. The
engine struck a cow with the result of
completely demolishing four cars. The
train bound for McMinnville arrived at
the scene of disaster and took the pas
senger and baggage oars, four in num
ber, back to this city, the train that sus
tained tho injury returning with the
formerJs passengers and freight to Mc
Minnville. Ko injury was sustained by
anyone beyond a general shaking up.
Tho damaged cars were wrecked beyond
the possibility of repair. Portland

A large number of men have been em

of the matter is that tho Northern Pacific
Bailroad company have not, nor never
had, a shadow of a title to these lands,
and the only way the Improvement com
pany can ever get title is to have the un
earned lands revert to the government,

TICKS OF THE TKLEOB VPH.
Contending religious factions aro blow
ing each other's brains out in Newfound
land. Tho Pennsylvania state Republican
convention at'Harrisburg on tho 15th, de
clared for Blaine and Lincoln.
The president has recommended to the

who recently Jeft that port.

"William Strong, with a strong posse of
his gang, some seventy-five in number,
are in possession of Jackson, Kentucky,
and says he will hang seventy-five of the
best citizens, in retaliation for hanging
Ben Strong and Henry Kilboume, one of
whom was a member of the Stiong gang.
The stockholders of the Oregon and
Transcontinental company have become
alarmed at what they term the inaction
of th6 piesent management. A short
time ago they asked President Endicott
if the statement that he wished to resign
the office was true, but in reply they re
ceived only excuses for a longer delay.
Just before adjournment of the Ala
ba na state Republican cjuvantion last
Wednesday, a banner w.is flung out on
the stand inscribed, "Our choice, Chester
A. Arthur. Second choice, John A.
Logan." The bannor will be taken to

get nineteen out of the twenty Alabama
votes at Chicago.
A "Washington special states positively
that Blaine and Grant wc-re brought
together by General Grant at the Arling
ton hotel, and that Grant informed Blaine
that he had declined to be present at the
dinner which the latter attended because
he desired to avoid a public scene of
reconciliation. It is also stated that
Blaine declines avowing himself a candi
date because he is convinced that the
New York independent Republicans will
not vote for him. ,
In the Sharon divorce case at San
Francisco last Wednesday, Mrs. Fanny

witnesses.

"Me an' The UudcrtaVcr."
He walked in, lit n cigar stump, and
remarked, "your cemetery here seems
pretty full." Tho crowded condition of
tho boneyard was admitted, and the
statement volunteered that a new bury
ing ground had been laid out down by
the sounding sea and that the departed
went to their last home by water. "Well,"
he said, "that gets me. I'm authority on
cemeteries and burying grounds, and
I when I see your graveyard there on the
I niu x inougus u was mignty singular.
bo you send 'em by wat6r, eh! I've trav
'. eled some in my time, and though I sav
it tb.H shouldn't, I'm no slouch on
cemetery business myself. Your cit au
thorities just ought to make me extun.
You belchyou I'd give em some points
in the business. Did you ever hear of
the contract mo und another fellow had.
the undertaker I bolievo they called him.
though 'Doc' was all the nam- I ever
had for him, over in Bodio in the spring
of '77? No? Well, that's singular.
Thought every one on tho coast had
heard of that, I ouly alluded to it to bring
in the little feet that I'm tho man. You
see along about March and April '77, Bo-
aie was juai. uuuiuiii;bouiu oi tue boys
and the first thing we knew thero was a
whole slew of 'em down with pneumonia.
I wasn't dom' anything jast then, and
piOKeu up tne nrst tning i come across
which was digin' graves for this under
taker. Graves. Graves wasn't his nnmi
but we just called him Graves, or Doc or
anytning tnat come nanay. i ive dollars
was what they paid for diggin' a grave
and though it took the best'part of p day
eot to bo a regular thine a crave n flnv
and then two, and at last three, until one
day Doc. came to me, and he says, 'Look
here. This thing is just beginning and I
don't want to aa caught out. What'll
you charge to dig ono hundred and fif tj
graves?' Well, I fignred for a minute,
and says I, Fll dig you that many graves
for $400. 'All right;' says he, and so tho
bargain wps made. We weren't cramped
for room over thre, so I picked out i
bit of sloping ground that wasn't as hum
mocky as most of it and hired hi.Jf-n-do7-en
Piutes and a couple of stray ShosLoi--ies
to help inc. I agreed to gi-.i Via a
dollar and a half a day. I offered 'era a
dollar first, but they stuck out for n dol
lar and a half, and as I knew I'd win it
all back from thorn at bean poker every
night anyhow it didn't make any odds,
and we went to work on them terms.
We worked all day for about two
weeks and everything was niovin' as har
monious as you please; wo just about
kept ahead of the demand, and could
have worked faster, but used to have to
knock off out of respect to the remains
whenever a procession hovo in sight, and
if it wasn't that the force started in
Eretty early in th morning, Doc. would
avo crowded us even closer than ho
did.
But as April wore along I noticed that
the graves weren't used up as fast as at
first, and along about the last week there
was whole rows of 'em that were lying
waiting. At last Doc. cnuo to me one
afternoon and says, 'how niauv bavejen
dug?' One hundred and twenty-four,
says I. 'Well,' says he, 'that's more than
I'll need in a yiar: you'd be astonished
to see how business has fallen off. I
guess you'd better quit!' I told him I
guessed not; that a bargain was a bar
gain, and I was going to turn him over
his 150 graves according to contract. One
word led to another, an' me an' the un
dertaker had considerable of a row over
it. Well, I kept on and finished tho con
tract, and blamed if Graves didn't re
fuse to pay me. I brought suit, and he
up an' denied the contract; said I'd dug
them graves on spec' and with tho under
standing that ho wasn't to pay for 'em
unless he used 'em, and that even then
he couldn't afford to pay over $1.50 a
grave; that opposition had plumb ruined
his business, and good Al graves could
be had for 2.50 any day. Well, sir, I
was beat. There I was "with about ono
hundred first-class, clean-cut graves on
my bands and no market for 'em. I'd
paid my help rght along, and nothing
but my extraordinaiy luck at poker
o' nights kept me from being bankrapt.
"How did you finally come out?"
"Well, we kind o' compromised; he
gimme $100, and as he had the dcadwood
on me 1 had to take it. He seemed
mightily tickled, for it was right into his
hand to huve about a hundred nice ready
made graves on hand, as it were, but his
luck turned and I don't know when any
thing happened that did me so much
good."
"How was that?"
"Why, along about the 1st of May
came a cloud burst; the water came down
the canyon foamiu an' bilin', and just
naturally scooped the whole sido of tho
hill where we'd started the cemetery; It
didn't leave one, but cut out and carried
awaythe whole thing, soil and all.'
"What become of the interred?"
"Well, if there isn't a mired erowd
where that cloud-burst piled up things
promiscuous, when Gabriel toots his
trump, then I don't want a cent."
And the cigar stump having gone out,
the grave contractor from Bodie followed
suit.
