ASTOKIA, OREGON:
SUNDAY AUGUSTS, 1SS5
X DISSECTION.
Is an attempt to darken tlie -waters
of debate by a cuttle-fish injection of
confession'and avoidance the Orego
nian begs the question and substi
tutes som9 half-baked opinions rela
tive to the ability of the article it
apparently desire3 to criticise. Its
remarks need dissection. "What is
new in its article is not good, what is
good is not new, and dodging the
question at issue ..it resorts to the
subterfuge of setting up a man of
straw to knock down,
It says its article was "designed to
correct a mistaken impression." "Why
then did it not confine itself to its
muttons and not undertake to speak
for the Columbia river? Even the
possession of the dispatches and a
wide list of exchanges from which to
cull choice editorial utterances does
not give our inland contemporary
right presumptive or prescriptive to
speak fortho river. It says "The
Astorias finds a text for a long ti
rade against this journal." The As
toman looks for no text and desires
no tirade against the Oregonian or
any other respectable newspaper, but
it would not be true to the commu
nity that has long suffered from the
workings of the system which has the
Oregonian for its champion if it did
not show the fallacy of its statements
and challenge it, as it frequently has,
to prove its assertions. It says The
Astobias's remarks are "incoherent"'
and "silly." This is purely a matter
of opinion. The Oregonian's say
ing so doesn't make it so. If in
coherence or silliness be evinced in
our utterances let our astute contem
porary point out where it lies. Mere
assertion of an alleged fact will not
convince an incredulous public.
True, it may evince silliness on our
part to attempt to furnish the Oregon
tan -with argument against its own
position and presuppose the posses
sion by our esteemed contemporary
of wit enough to understand what
every one else outside of the Oregon
iarts editorial office cannot help see
ing, but the evident kindness of the
motive should impel the Oregonian
to throw the broad mantle of charity
over our generous impulse and credit
us with a desire to aid our evidently
bewildered contemporary to a proper
realization of existing facts facts
that would exist whether The Asto
fiiAS commented on them or not
"Fools are my theme, let satire be
my song,," sang Byron, and from By
ron to Bill Nye, was ever statement
made more worthy of satire than the
next gem that falls from the Orego
niarts casket! It says that it speaks
of "the Columbia river of commerce"
as in contradistinction to the
Columbia river of geography. Ac
cording to our fresh-water friend the
Columbia river "of commerce" rises
in the Oregonian office at Portland.
Beyond the junction of the "Willam
ette and Columbia there is no Colutn
bia river "of commerce." How do you
of eastern Oregon, you dwellers in
the inland empire, like this? "What a
broad scope of view! "What an illim
itable mental horizon is possessed by
the journal that alleges this! How
ever if eastern Oregon and "Washing
ton can stand it we can, but it we
know anything of the temper of the
dwellers in that region they will de
velop considerable "incoherence,' and
"silliness," when they read the ukase
issued by the arrogant journal that
presumes that no one shall have a
contrary opinion to the one it pleases
to promulgate. "We are always will
ing to concede to others the consist
ency we claim for ourself ; the Orego
nian has a right to be wrong if it wants
to; that is its privilege but it
shouldn't abuse tlio privilege.
It quotes our statement that "Port
land wants no ships to enter the Co
lumbia that cannot go to Portland,"
and courteously styles it "rot." "We
cite the files of the Oregonian for
the last four years to prove the truth
of what wo say in this regard. Dare
the oregonian accept the challenge?
It says "It is actually cheaper to car
ry a cargo of grain down the "Willam
ette and Columbia rivers (the Oregon
ian's" river of commerce") in the hold
of a ship than in barges." But, oh
sapient Oregonian, there are ships,
and ships. A ship that could load at
Astoria could not get to Portland,
and we have the OregoniaiVs own
statement that the larger the vessel
the cheaper proportionately she can
carry freight
But, says the Oregonian, "ships
load here because they find it more
profitable to load here." Oh, no; the
ships don't; the shippers do. The
Oregonian knows that under the pre
vailing system the ship3 are com
pelled to so to Portland for the great
er part of their cargo; it knows that
the matter is admirably organized,
and the slightest effort made to divert
the profitable business is promptly
met It probably forgets that when
the Astoria Transportation company
three years ago proved by actual
demonstration that wheat could be
brought from Portland to Astoria for
31f cents a ton, instead of SL25, the
figure at that time, that a delegation
from the headwaters of the "Colum
bia of commerce" visited Astoria and
bought them off. It was too good
to be let go out of the family. How
surprised the Oregonian is to be re
minded of this! And right here The
Astoman desires to say that it
doesn't stigmatize our esteemed con
temporary's remarks as being "pas
sionnte," nor "silly," nor "incoher
ent." It makes certain statements
and offers to prove them. The Ore
gonian has demonstrated that it can
not conduct an argument on ques
tions of public importance without
losing its temper, which no candid
newspaper ever does. But we have
hopes for the Oregonian even now.
Time was when it pooh-poohed the
idea of the locks at the Cascades: of
late it softly coos its approbation. To
explain how it has experienced such
a change of heart is unnecessary to
those who can understand it and use
less to those who cannot.
Again, the Oregonian is pleased to
say: "The Astorias, assuming that
we have 300,000 tons of wheat to send
away this season, says that this wheat
could be shipped from Astoria for
120,000 less than it can bo shipped
from Portland. "We have not exam
ined the figures, but imagine The
Astorias is not far wrong.' "Well,
well! "Examine the figures" and
your imagination will give place to
conviction that The Astorias is
right
"But" it goes on, "it is assumed
that Portland and Astoria arc com
mon points, which they are not."
No, indeed; they are not "Who as
sumed that? certainly not The As
torias. "It is naturally," says the
Oregonian, "more expensive to ship
grain from Portland than from Asto
ria, because tho situation is more re
mole." Charming concession! If
this be so'what becomes of your argu
ment? It certainly is more expensive
to tho producer but more profita
bleto the shipper as matters are
at present
The Oregonian may smite the "Wil
lamette journals till they sqneal; it
may thunder over the heads of its
inland contemporaries till they glad
ly hunt their holes, but its assumed
superiority or attempted sarcasm has
little weight in this neck of woods.
If it wants to silence The Astorias
it would do well to let that contract
out "What is here said is said so
plainly that it not only can be under
stood but it cannot be misunderstood,
and whatever "incoherence" exists
must be charged to the heat and ma
laria so evidently afflicting to the
Oregonian.
Probably when the present heated
term is over and cool breezes from
the Pacific fan his heated brow, the
gentleman whoso ire has been aroused
will be more just and less ungenerous
in his strictures toward those who
have never been wanting in courtesy
to him. Poor human nature at its
best estate is sadly subject to tempo
rary inconveniences, and with the
thermometer 9G in the shade, it is
hardly to be wondered at that the
Oregonian should be warped. Port
land's unfortunate climate has much
to ans .ver for.
Tun crop news from bolli Russia
and Bombay is exceedingly gloomy.
The drouth in both places is, and has
been for some time, excessive, and
unless rain falls speedily the event
will bo disastrous in the extreme.
The great and rich plains of little
and south Russia, all the provinces
drained by the Dniester, the Dnieper
and tho Bug, are familiarly known as
the granary of Europe, the trade
centering at Odessa, whence every
year many millions of bushels of
wheat and other cereals aro shipped,
principally to Great Britain. The
extent and value of this trade can be
appreciated when it is stated that
out of a total of exports from Russia
of all kiudB for 1582, amounting to
273,000,000 rubles, 131,000,000, or
nearly one-half, was repre
seated by grain; and the direc
tion of tho trade will appear in the
fact that 143,000,000 rubles went to
Great Britain. A disaster, therefore,
to the crops of Russia would signify
the shutting off of a constant and
very large source of supply for all
those countries that depend upon im
ports to eke out their home-grown
crops, and this would be especially
felt if western and northern British
India, where tho cultivation of wheat
has had a largo development during
the last few years, should also en
counter a drouth. The season is so
far advanced that rain in the latter
provinces could hardly now be of any
appreciable benefit, while if the
drouth continue another week or so in
Russia the same -may be said of that
district
Officers of the corps of engineers
in charge of improvements upon the
fortifications of the country have
made their annual report to the'ehief
of engineers. On account of the
small appropriation made last year
but little work has been done during
tho past season. Funds available
were used in putting in order the
platforms and parapets of the various
forts.
Twenty-six years ago next mouth
Judge Terry of California shot and
killed David S. Broderick in a duel.
Last Friday the same Judge Terry
drew a revolver on one Kowalsky,
who had previously drawn his.
Kowalsky had a memory and was ev
idently possessed of discretion, for he
prudently skipped.
I. N. Hibbs, tho forging Lewiston
postmaster, was surrendered at Vic
