ASTOKlA, OREGON
TUESDAY
APRIL 2i, 1S3-5
.V PASSAXT.
ALP.E.S.DX charges Lavo been made
that iho staio board of immigration
is not acting fair in its manner of do
ing business. In defending himself
against the charge of being "an ass "
courteously prefciredbythe Oregoni
an, the editor of the Oregon City
Enterprise says that those in charge
of the immigration rooms "talk tip
Jackson county," and implies that
the -whole business is a kind of cap
per for the railroad company. He
also classifies his metropolitan broth
er in the same list in "which that gen
tleman placed him.
The Astokian disclaims any inten
tion to take part in the quarrels of
its contemporaries, even over a di
vision of the spoils. "Wo have been
made feel on numerous occasions
that Clatsop county is allowed to re
main in Oregon only on sufferance,
and as a matter of convenience to
more favored portions of the state
and properly appreciate the privilege
of being associated with our friends
in the inner circle of good things.
Therefore it is not for us to touch
with rudo hand or ruder speech those
matters that by prescriptive right
are to bo handled only by tho elect.
But in all humility and with proper
respect for our most esteemed con
temporaries wo meekly suggest that
there- is no surer way to thwart the
supposably good endeavors of the
immigration board than to begin
squabbling about its neglect or ina
bility to make immigrants go to a
certain part of the state however fa
vored by nature and location that
part may be.
"We deprecate probable wrath by
acknowledging that this is none of
our affair; that, in the language of
the ancient Athenians, this is "not
our put;" that it is not to be expect
ed that a county with half a repre
sentative and one third of a senator
should be presumed to chip in with
an opinion as to the division of prob
able swag, but, in all family disputes
even stop children are allowed to re
spectfully open their mouths occa
sionally, and to us rude dwellers on
tho frontid it would seem more
seemly for the more favored children
of the commonwealth to cease dem
onstrating their inherent right to
the names they nro calling each oth
er. It tends to bring the whole fam
ily into disrepute, and on these
grounds we object.
The traveler in some portions of
"the far west" is struck by the com
paratively small amount of public
laud now available for tho ordinary
sottler. The immense railway grants,
the Indian and military reservations,
and the holdings of powerful cattle
companies monopoiizo a large part of
tho country, so that one is hardly off
an Indian reservation before he is on
railway or other unavailable ground.
True, every other section in the limits
of railway grants is government land,
but owing to the opposition of rail
way aud cattle companies, tho scarci
ty of water, and the difficulty of de
termining whoso land one is on, poor
settlers retreat in despair. One rail
way controls practically tho whole of
a tract fifty miles wide across the ter
ritories of New Mexico and Arizona,
a distance of several hundred
miles, end declines to sell in
tracts of less than 5,000 acres.
This 5,000 acres or moro would
of course surround much gov
ernment land, and by proper manip
ulation settlers could be prevented
from intruding to occupy it. One
means of securing the government
lands up to the present has been to
boldly fence them in along with
those acquired from the railway, an
easy matter, as there is no law to pre
vent the fencing of property by its
owners, it me lence incloses gov
ernment property so much the worse
for the government. Happily, Ave ap
pear to be near a solution of this vex
atious question. The department of
the interior has under consideration
a plau by which it is hoped the in
fringement of the law in the territo
ries can be prevented. It proposes
to issue a suitable proclamation call
ing attention to the law and calling
for the removal of the fences. If
not removed within the prescribed
period the fences will bo destroyed
by the army. It will be interesting
to note tho outcome of this attempt
to determine whether the govern
ment and the settlers or the cattle
companies are in charge.
"Tis an ill wind that blows nobody
good." Bid's rebellion in the north
west, though in itself unimportant,
will stimulate the Canadian govern
ment to aid the railway company to
furnish funds for the road's comple
tion. The company needs SGO.000,
000 by June 1st, or present trouble
may be greatly increased.
It is now thought that Eussia and
England may come to terms of agree
ment. Yesterdav's London Standard
believes that the basis of the report
ed compromise 13 that Bussia con
sents to an immediate lnoelincr be
tween Zelenoi and Sir Peter Lums
deu, at Puli-Khatune. Eussia and
England having agreed to limit tho
zone to be debated to territory be
tween tho Lassar lino on tho south,
and aline from Ak-Tepe to Puli-Khatune
on the north, excluding Puli
Khatune and including Penjdeh.
Eussia renews her assurance that no
further advance will be made, pro
vided the Afghans do not attempt to
regain their positions. The commis
sioners are instructed to establish the
frontier north of Meruchok and to
tho south of Puli-Khatune, restoring
Zulificar and Akrabat to Afghanis
tan. Penjdeh is to be ceded to Bnssia,
and a friendly agreement is to be
made with the ameer. In the mean
time both nations continue their war
preparations on a scale unsurpassed
in military history.
Tee reluctance of some of the de
partments of the general government
to seek information from other de
partments is well illustrated by iho
maps issued by the general land of
fice, which year after year repeats er
rors which could easily bo corrected
by reference to tho work of the geo
logical survey. On some of the recent
and elaborate maps issued by this
office a river is drawn through the
Navajo reservation, with a most sys
tematic arrangement of tributaries,
that has no existence, and from the
configuration of tho country could
not possibly exist in the course given.
This is ouly one example outof many
where the maps of the laud oilice are
incorrect and those of the geological
survey accurate, and yet the two bu
reaus are not separated by moro ihan
a couple of hundred yards, artist the
land office resurvey the Navajo reaer
valion before its maps and those of the
Indian reservation are made conform
to facts?
It is worthy of note that Eussia
is making such efforts to raise to the
rank of a second-rate naval power. In
a short time she will be more power
ful at sea than she has been sinco the
Crimean war. Hitherto she has spent
her strength on tho Baltic fleet, and
in those waters she is still first. Be
sides her two great fleets on the
Baltic and Black seas, Bussia has
thrco flotillas, counting together
about seventy stenmers and vessels,
in Siberia, and the Caspian and Aral
seas. Daring tho last three years,
under tne Archduke Alexis, the
Kassian navy ha3 been entirely reor
ganized, and greater enorgy seems
now to reign iu it than during tho
last war with tho Turks.
Newspapees throughout Oregon
and Washington that adversely criti
cise the N. P. B. R. management, are
having their railroad advertisements
withdrawn and their passes canceled;
some of them kick. It serves them
right. A newspaper that would take
a pass should at least have ordin in
gratitude and not try to hurt its bene
factor. The manly way is to refuse pass
es and favors, and if the railroad com
panies want to advertise make them
come up with the coin. A newspaper,
like any other business, should be
run on business principles, and the
editor who stands with his hat in his
hand asking favors, is usually accord
ed the same respect given any other
beggar.
The mouth of tile Mississippi has
cost millions from first to last. It
has a greedy mouth and will swallow
greenbacks about as rapidly as they
cau be printed. "With all the money
spent on this great stream it appears
that there is now imminent danger of
the deflection of the river into Bayou
Atchafalaya, by which it would reach
the Gulf very much sooner than at
present. This would ruin lew Or
leans, leaving her high aud dry as an
inland town, and some of the richest
territory of Louisiana would also be
permanently submerged.
The agricultural board has decided
in regard to tho next slate fair. Ten
thousand dollars will be given in
premiums. Of this 4,300 goes to the
race track. Is it for this that the
state gave 5,000 at the last session of
the legislature?
The Illinois legislature seems lo be
in a worse fix than ever onr state
legislature was. Month after month
passes by and still no senator is elect
ed. The foolishness costs tho taxpay
ers of the prairie state about $1,700 a
day.
Grant's recovery will bankntpt sev
eral New York speculators who re
cently bonght all the mourning goods
in New York city in expectation of
his death.
Shoti.d the English go to war those
cruisers ordered on the Delaware for
Knssia might be as pregnant n source
of mischief as were Laird's confed-
orato cruisers iu 'G3. A repetition of
the Alabama claims with reversed
conditions, would not bo very palata
ble, and the United Slates couldn't
back down from the precedent afford
ed by the Geneva award.
