Newspaper Page Text9 m H a gfoiwx w ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY..... AUGUST 3. 1S85 A HAWKEYEPS OPINION. TAiiKiNa about what ho saw out here tho editor of the Montezuma, Iowa, Republican, says: "We think tho people of Oregon and Washington territory make a great mistake by wanting only those with means to go there. The wealthy settle down in tho towns and cities and lire at ease and do but little to develop the country. That country needs the industrious laboring man who is not afraid to take off his coat and go to work. Labor will do more to develop the great resources of the northwest than wealth, for labor is the source of all wealth. Iowa would never have attained her present great ness had it not been for the sturdy pioneers, poor financially, but rich in indomitable pluck and physical man hood and these are they who will convert tho rich and fertile valleys of the Pacific northwest into happy homes and eventually into rich and prosperous communities. That coun try needs labor far more than it does wealthy nabobs. The poor man who is industrious stands a better show there than here if he has the inde pendence to look outfor himself; still they advertise out there for "im migrants with means" to settle up the country, and this is tho very class that don't have to work, and as long as they depend on such people, the rich mines will go undeveloped, the fertile valleys will remain sparsely settled and their majestic forests will continue to nod leisurely on tho mountain side. With all their pos sibilities they ship their butter, pork and eggs into that country from the ''states,'" as they speak of the east We ate Iowa butter at Se attle, and away down in southern Or egon they fed us egg3 that had been shipped there from Fairfield, Iowa. Chickens aro worth from six to eight dollars per dozen, hogs aro selling there now for 8 per hundred and their cured meats aro shipped from Chicago. These things ought all to bo produced there. As a fruit coun try there is none better, yet there are people who have lived there for years who do not raise anything in the fruit line. It is true they raise great crops of wheat out there, but there is not much profit in that. Diversified farming is needed to make it profita ble. The labor problem is a great question for tho people out there. The Chinese are thero in all their glory, and if any of our readers have ever entertained the idea that they are a persecuted set, wo are satisfied a visit would change your mind. They will -nork and that is all the good you can say of them. They stick to their heathenish customs and their habits are simply disgusting. They can live on two bits a week, consequently they can save more money at 50 cents a day than a white man at 3. They have no business in this country. They don't belong to the typo of manhood that America wants, consequently the laws restrict ing their immigration ought to be rigidly enforced, and if there was some way of getting rid of those that are now here it would bo a good idea." The Pendleton Tribune says a Mr. Austin of that place, proposes to give bonds to the amount of $50,000 that he will put a steam tug and flat boats on Snake river and carry the present crop of wheat from that section of country to Ainsworth so that it can be sent east. He agrees to have his boats ready in sixty days, and to move the crop in ninety days there after. Ho will carry wheat from any point on the river to Ainsworth for 3.333 cents per ton. The price from Ainsworth to Duluth is $8 per ton, making 11.33 per ton to reach a market where wheat is now worth ninety-five cents per bushel. It is the estimate of Mr. Austin that tho farmers will make ten cents per bush el by shipping over this route. All that he asks of them is 100,000 bushels of wheat at the market rate guaran teed as freightage. He will run ten flat boats, which will carry 100 tons each, and make the round trip in five days. This is worthy the attention of journals published on "the Columbia river of commerce." The statement for the first month of the new fiscal year shows an al leged reduction in the public debt of 8,662,790, against about $4,000,OGO for July, 1884. The reduction for the month just closed does not affect the principal of the bonded debt, and as a matter of fact there has been no re duction whatever in tho sense that the general reader would suppose in reading the official announcement of tho government's fiscal operations for July. The reported reduction was obtained by payment of interest on the debt that is to say, during the month of July interest due and payable and that accrued amounted to a certain sum,which was of course added to the treasury obligations, and that amount, about S8,000,000, was paid, leaving tho principal of tho debt in precisely the same condition as on Juno 30th. These is a man in Wisconsin whom some of the railroad kings Bhould get hold of. The fact that he is in state prison won't be much of an objection, as railroad kings aro supposed to have governors and judges under their thumbs. This man, in the space of three months, organized three canal companies, and floated out $90,000 worth of stock at S700. He organized two mineral spring companies, and got rid of $17,000 worth of stock for $359. He organ ized a sanitarium, and gave away $27,000 worth of stock for $225. He organized a water-power company, paid dividends beforo a dam was built, and came out $1,120 ahead. He was organizing a railroad com pany, and was about to call in a cap ital of $50,000, when tho law grabbed him and shut him up. The man, if properly coached, has a great future before him. A Chicago lawyer named Turnbull has surprised the political and liter ary public with an article in the Nineteenth Century showing that the English government is really democratic, with the commons dom inating the queen and the lords, while the United States government is really aristocratic. The president's veto power equals two-thirds of the legislators, and the senate, not popu larly elestive, fairly holds the repre sentatives in captivity, while the supremo court can set aside all stat utes if so disposed. The failure of tho government steamer Alert, which returned dis abled to St. John, Newfoundland, the other day, to penetrate tho ice of Hudson straits, is regarded as a seri ous blow to the scheme by which it is proposed to establish a summer route via Hudson bay and straits to Europe for tho shipments of the pro ducts of tho northwest territories. Tho Alert was sent out expressly to determine the feasibility of the pro ject, and those who cherished it have abandoned all idea of its practicabil ity. The Oregonian mistakes earnest ness for warmth. Any newspaper in discussing current topics must dis play a certain amount of fervor in the expression of its thoughts if the expression amounts to anything. '"Still harping on mine uncle," tho Oregonian says, "when it is fonnd that money can be mado by loading at Astoria vessels will be loaded there." Money for whom? Ship pers? The chief of the bureau of statis tics reports the total value of imports of merchandise during the year end ing June 30, 1885, was $577,476,850, a decrease of $90,220,843 compared with the preceding year. Tho exports of merchandise for thoyear ending Juno 30, 1885. were $741,893,GS3, an increase of $138,074 over the preceding year. It is stated by a practical New York book publisher, who has been in Washington lately, that Miss Cleve land's share of the profits from the sale of her book will, very probably, range from $40,000 to S50.000. m Nilsson is about to make her first professional tour to her native Sweden since she became a great singer. She was born in a wood-chopper's hut, in tho forest of Wexio, forty-two yeprs ago. Crnus W. Field will give a dinner in London to-day, in celebration of the twenty-seventh anniversary of tho completion of tho first Atlantic ca ble. The deaths at New York last week averaged 1C0 a day, most of them be ing due to tho terrific heat TnntTr-FOUR female Arab soldiers were killed in one of the battles with the English in the Soudan. It is said that the Astore have paid at the rate of $6,000,000 per acre for land in Wall street NEW TO-DAY. 6TH ANNUAL EXCURSION! AND BASKET PICITIC, OF THE ASTORIA Y. M. C. A.
