m ASTdlUA,OKEGON: TUESDAY OCTOKEItlU 183 Mr. J. N. Griflin Las received a liaudsomo portrait, which is on ex hibition at his place of business. Call and see it. It is thought that unless it should rain before the latter part of next month the present fall will be re markably dry. Astoriaus who love a s:ood cigar always know that at J. W. Bottom's Virginia cigar and tobacco store they can get an Al article. J. G. Ko3S, at the Pioneer restau rant employs none but white cooks. Get a duck dinner there to-day and see how good it tastes. So far seven boats have entered for the fishing boat race nest Saturday, with a likelihood of more. Entries close next Thursday evening. The Kate and Anna brought 20 M cedar lumber from Comopolis, to be loaded on river boats and taken up the Columbia river of commerce. A good many Chinamen went away on Sunday's steamer. If more of them would only oaly go and stay gone it would be the better for this state. The new pilot schooner G'or. Moody, will be taken out for a trial trip this morning. The board of pilot commissioners and others will bo aboard. The Primera will load grain at Portland and finish here with salmon. There are 13,543 cases on the O. R. So N. dock for her; 8.093 of Jno. A. Dev lin's and 5,450 of Wm. Hume's. Last Sunday's Oreyonian has an article on the nebular hypothesis which for information and value is not exceeded by any article on that subject published during the last eight years. A partitilion and door are being put in at the entrance of the hallway at the state house leading to the of fice of governor and secretary of state, "to shut out the wind." From this it is evident that Jno. Myers and L. Bilyeu are expected to attend tho special session. This evening the charming operetta of "Penelope; or the Milkman's bride," will be produced by some of the best talent of this city and Port land, for the first time in Astoria. During the evening Miss Katie Flavel will sing a solo. Reserved seats can bo had at Griflin Sz Reed's without ex tra charge. In Gen. Gibbon's private office at Vancouver can be seen the famous table on which was written the terms of surrender of Gen. Lee and the confederate army to Gen. Grant. Gen. Gibbon was the senior commissioner on tho part of the United States to draw up tho papers setting forth the terms of tho surrender in accordance with the views of Gen. Grant. The steamer Bonanza is tied up at the head of the Columbia river of commerce. The owner is waiting for higher water as he wants to run on the upper "Willamette and tho present depth of water in that part of the river m which he would navigate pre eludes the possibility of a boat of the Bonanza's draught plying thereon. The Bonanza draws fourteen inches. Tho Perl which had been detained in the river by circumstances wholly beyond her control, arrived down last Sunday evening. "While stuck up on the mud about thirty miles be low Portland one of the seamen named Benjamin Tall got tired of the weary business and disappeared. It is not known whether he jumped overboard and drowned, or swam ashore. The British barks Pert, and West York and tho Ameiicau bark G'tn. Fairclrild, cleared for England vesterdav. The Peri carries 51,869 bus., valued at $38,910: tho West York has 38,012 bus., worth $39,120; the Uen. I'airchud carries 7b,.$o bus., valued at 00,007. The City -of Benares finished last night: the l F. Oakes is also finished. The last named vessel carries the largest grain cargo of the season. The crew of the West York re fused to serve yesterday claiming that the vessel was overloaded and demanding a survey from Lloyds. The report of Lloyds' surveyor was to the effect that the vessel was now drawing precisely the same she drew in salt water at a loadiug port on the coast of Chili, the presumption being that she would rise two inches after leaving the river. At last ac counts the matter was still unsettled. 'Tis said by those who thoroughly understand what they are talking about that the "twenty feet of water from Portland to the sea" is badly marred by lumps at Swan Island and Martin's Island, and that the Oreyon and Peri when they stuck were "right square in the channel." Tho Columbia river pilots without excep tion are men who know their busi ness, but no amount of skill can put water under a ship's bottom. Mrs. Lois B. "Webber died at her residence in Alderbrook last Sunday, in the 55th year of her age. De ceased was a native of Maine, and had been a resident of Oregon for a little over two years. She was the mother of Mrs. C T. Thomes of this city and Mrs. C. W. Knowles of Port land. She had suffered for some time fjom pleurisy. The remains were taken to Portland on the Telephone yesterday and will be given interment in that city. At the bar the work of building the jetty will go on to the end of the month. The driving of piles for tho rest of the time that work will be continued will be confined entirely to the outside rows which will consist of continuous piling, tho piles being less than a foot apart Spnrs will be driven northward from tho main jetty after which the plant will be housed, awaiting further appropriation for the resumption of active operations. It is believed that no government work in the Union can show better results for the amount of money act ually expended. AN INTERESTING LETTER. Cotipcrnins a Hatter That is of ConIiIcr- ablp Importance to Every Ru.inr' 3Iau in. Atorfru Xkiiai.km, Oi:.. Opt. 7, lKi. Eiiitei: Atoimax:- Thanking you f;r your kindness and interest manifest ett in our .section, I will again accept a Mtinll space in your column:--. Thi- lime i will take a hasty trip, with such of your readers as are inclined to accompany me, over the route where. someday,u great thorough- laiv i:i run. as i mthC pa.ss quickly we ill leave much of interest for future notice; the part between Astoria and Seaside, being already a thoroughfare and well known, we will nass over this in .silence. Leaving .Seaside we travel up the Xe kauikum in a southeasterly direction. This valley is narrow bnt very fertile, it is occupied for seven or eigfit miles, but above that there are many good claims yet awaitiug the coming settler. The road as now opened is bad; but when it is located as it should be, all on the south of the liver from the bridge up. and well built, will be good. In about nine miles we arrive at the forks; taking the right hand one and continu ing on in a south direction, we climb a hill on an easy grade, find some thielj brush, but soon find the top of an open timbered ridge and follow it nearly all the way to the summit. We have nearly all good ground for road making. We find that the creek that we have fol lowed from the Xekanikum, about four mile heads in a low pass in the moun tains anil within three or tour rods of another creek flowing in the opposite direction. Although, perhaps, five hun dred feet higher than the forks of Xc kanikum, yet it being m gradual for the four miles as .scarcely to he an ohsfacle to making agood road. Passing through the gap we begin to descend. ' The first mile or so is somewhat rough, but after that we have an open bench aud a road almost made to our hands to the north fork of Xehalem. From the .summit south we pass through good farming lands only encumbered by as fine tim ber :h life coast produces. The de scent is also gradual, aud we are down on the beautiful Xehalem before we are expecting it. The distance from the Xekanikum to the Xehalem is about eight miles. We find here a good ford, and crossing over we are at the farm of M. Buchanan, and that he has agood road nearly completed to tide water Stopping to rest and inquire of the country around here, we are informed that there is good openings for settlers both above and lglow him. and that di rectly south and about l miles dis tant "is "God's Valley.' This v.dlcy contains '2,000 or .',000 acres of eiy ricli and open land. The only reason that it was not taken up long since is ''lack of road." This road will open it to settlers. Descending the river on its left bank in a southwest direction four and a half miles, brings us to tide water, and wa ter communication with the whole val ley of Xehalem. amlsK miles to Onion Peak post-office. Here we travel south ward, keeping along the base of the foot-hills and in two miles more arrive on the south fork of Xehalem, and at five miles from Onion Peak post-office reach the mouth ot Kolej creek. Here we find the only real difficulty on the route. A sjuir of the hills has to be crossed and Xehalem is here a very rapid river. There is here .i good ford for a low stage of water, or one that is safe for three-fourths of the year. 1 low we are to cross it when the water is high is to be settled hereafter. It is too rapitl for a ferry boat and the county is too poor to bridge it at present. Following up Foley ereek, still going nearlv south, we find no difficulties hi the way of road making. In a few miles we come to wnere seiners nave ilreadv opened a road and follow it through :i low pass ami are soon tle- .scenuing me .Miami on a niau leaning to Garibaldi. Within two miles of which place we turn to the left, cross tlie Miami and go through a low pass lo "Jaw Hone" leaving ilobsonville also to the right. Here we are in one of the best portions of Tillamook county, and one that will be most benefitted by the road, and reciprocally, will send much travel over the road to its terminus. From her' there is now or soon will be a road to Lincoln. In review we find three, connecting links of road to make; one from near Roe's plae on Xekanikum to IJuehan an s on Xehalem of eight or nine miles; one from the head of tide water on north Xehalem to Fole ereek road of about nine miles, and one from Miami to ".law Hone"' of about four miles, in all about twenty-two or twenty-five miles. The nrobabilities are that ere many vears a railroad will be constructed over this very route, as it is certainly the most practicable route 10 connect me great valley of the Willamette with the seaport eitj' of Astoria. On a recent visit to Lincoln 1 found the people excited over tlie prospects of a road to roust urove. jien were there from Forest Grove to talk tip the nroieet and lo view out the route. 1 hey estimated that that road would cost .$3,000. a very low estimate certainly, and that it would be fifty-five miles long. While a mail by that ionic is nearly all to make aud through a great, mountain chain, our route is more than half made and only passes through hilis. Hut the routes are not in opposi epposi oppesi tion: the one will call for the other; but 1 would only represent to the peo ple of Tillamook that a mad to Astoria is of first importance to them as reach ing to the best and nearest market for all that they produce. And I would also urge the people of Astoria to reach out first and secure this trade. The road to Forest Grove willfif built, be in the interest and will receive the aid of Portland. They expect to ask state aid ; if they are to be aided by the state thou why should not we be aided in the same wav'.' While the Forest Grove road w ill not be on a post road or pass a sin gle postoftice, the Astoria road will be on the direct line of a mail route and will pass five postoffices. 1 am confident -that this mad will be partlv opened next spring and .summer, but llow much will be done depends on the interest taken in it by the people of Astoria and alon" its route. If state or county aid can be secured, all rignt; n not. we will do what we can ourselves. Xehalem. H. Kenton, ot Albany, who has re cently perfected a sluicing machine for separating fine gold from black saud of the sea coast, is now tryiug it on tho Yaquiua beach, says the Herald Disseminator. The machine con sists of a series of sluice boxes lined with copper and armed with magnets beneath the copper. The black sand consists principally ot iron, which beinc held by tho magnets, affords an easy means of separating the gold from it The machine has been tried in southern Oregon with most satis factory results. If he succeeds ho has a magnificent fortune, if he fails ho will be only one more in the long list of men who have spent time and money in trying to do what has I hitherto proved impossible WHAT A SEATTLE GRAXD JURY THINKS. The grand jury impaneled at the present session ot the district court at Seattle made tho following repert: This grand jury is impaneled on behalf of the United States as well as on behalf ot the territory. It has been called upon to inquire into some offenses springing directly from the irrepressible race conflict now raging in the western state3 and ter ritories between Chinese and citizen laborers. The iuquiry is not one of local concern merely, bnt is in a very important sense national. It is one of presont practical interest in these counties, and has already been the cause of some disturbance. That tho presence of the Chinese here is an evil of tho gravest character is, it seems to us, truebej'ond all question; aud the nature 5f that evil cannot be better summed up than in tho follow ing succinct statement of it by the chief justice of our supreme ceurt: First TJnder-competitivo cheap ness ot Chinese labor. This is owing to irreducible differences between the Chinese and American modes of living. It secures to tho Chinese an exclusive monopoly ot labor supply, to whatever extent the demand for such labor as they furnish can be absorbed. Second Alienage of Chinese labor. This prevents that geometric increase in citizen population which would follow tho influx of white labor. Third Export of the earnings ot the Chinese. This puts their labor on the footing or a foreign import and make3 us in a sense tributary to China, and prevents that geome'tric increase ot wealth which would fol low the expenditure and capitaliza tion ot their oarnings here. Fourth Padding out the popula tion with the Chinese element, which has to bo protected, but which is un availing for protecting, whrther against enemies foreign or domestic. Fifth Race and class irritation, which is a perpetual menace to social order, and necessitates either an ab normally expensive civil service or a never ending liability to riot, an in security to property and life, and ev ery now and then a paroxysmal ex aggeration oi judicial expenses. Tho main bo y of the Chinese who are here, and of thoso who are com ing here, are from, the lowest and. most ignorant in their own country. They are neither of our religion, our race, nor our civilization. It is im possible to conceive of any portions of the human race more opposite to each other in their elementary char acter than the Auglo-Anierican and the Mongolian Chinese. They como to this country in a stale ot semi-servitudo and set up in our midst an anti-American .system. They are totally ignorant ot our in stitutions, and in their habits or liv ing are antagonistic to hem. No country can be prosperous with the labor of an alien race. No nation can succeed with cheap labor. Cheap labor is hurtful to a nation such as ours, composed of laborers. This na tion is but a great household, and it is always tme economy, where possi ble, Tor a household to do its own work. The restriction law aud the public sentiment out of which t sprung have had a tendency of late vears to check the immigration of the Cliinr.se to this country. Without some such measure the magnitude of the evil to-day would bo apparent to every body. But the act has been fonud to be very defective in practice. Con gress has made no adequate provision for eu forcing the law. The extended frontier uorlh of us, across which the Chinese may come at will, is prac tically unguarded. Before the pres ent law can be made at all effectual, there should be some suitable nppro priation made for enforcing it. Et seems to us also that the act should be so amended as to impose some penally on Chinese caught in an at tempt to violate the law. At present all that can be done is to return them to the place from whence thoy came, at the expense of our government. There are other respects m which we think the law might be amended to ad antage. and it is greatly to be de sired that the amended act (saving al ways all freedom for education, travel and commercial intercourse) shall be so- framed that the doors shall open outward and not inward lo Chinese. Bnt while realizing to its fullest extent the great evil produced by tho presence of the Chinese among us, the people of King and Kitsap coun ties arc not so demoralized bv the Chinese invasion as to think of adopt ing the barbarous methods of lawless violencs lo abate the evil. In tho re public of the United States political and -social grievances may be, and in deed can only be remedied by resort to lawful means. Let the law, as it exists, ba strictly enforced aud wher ever defective let it be amended. Ilncltlcii.s Arnica S'ulvc.

At the mouth of tho riverithoy are so thick that a person can kill them with an oar as he pulls his boat along. A drift net wa3 put out at Michado's tho other day, and at tho end of halt an hour, it was so full that it was with difficulty got ashore. It was found to contain 137 salmon. Young Simpson, at whom the other fishermen laughed so much for attempting tho-one-man-lo-the-boat way of fishing, caught GOO ono day recently. Tho fish are- oxtromely fat and weigh from thirty to sixty pounds each, which is unusually large. About 2,500 have been re ceived daily at the cannery, but that institution running out of tin has had to stop till the schooner Truckee ar rives. In the meantime Frank Getchell goes to the Columbia for more Chinamen to meet tho require ments. Tho present big i?in is due to the killing off of the sea lions at the mouth of tho river" by Hultiu, Hayes and others in tho early season. A like destruction every year of these lions, would bring heavy runs ot fish overy season. Coqiiille Herald. Killed by an EaIc. Toronto, Oct 17. This afternoon, while tho wife of JohnBaptistoBom illy, residing ten miles from here, ac companied by her two year old child, was feeding her fowls, a large bald eagle swooped down and bore the little one off in its talons. Neighbors turned out with shotguns, but the only effect ot their firing was to ac celerate tho eagle's flight. Tho bird alighted on the top of a barn a mile away, and was seen to make several strokes at tho child's head with its beak. Neighbors had got pretty close by this time, and succeeded in frightening tho eagle away, and the child's body was recovered, but life was extinct, a hole having been made in its skull, and a portion of its brain devoured by the bird. Found Drowncil. The body of Win. Johnson, who had been missing for the past eight or nine days was recovered yesterday morning. Tho coroner held an in quest at which sevoral gave testimony in regard to the identity of the de ceased. Tho jury brought iu tho fol lowing verdict: "We, tho jury in the above case, do find that deceased was a native of Sweden, aged about forty eight vears; That ho came to his death on the 10th of October, 1S85, by falling into tho Columbia river and drowning while under the influ ence of liquor." The Next Election. The next June election in Oregon includes everything from governor aud congressman down to justiceof the peace. Thero is already consid erable talk and prediction as to who will bo tho probablo candidates. There will have to be a change in the officers of stato treasurer and sec retary of state, for those officers are prohibited from serving the nest four years by the constitution, which says that "no person shall be eligible to cither of said offices more than eight, in any period of twelve years " Va lem Statesman, 17.

Tho motuer, brother and sisters of John Amundson take this method of returning their most siucere thanks to tho friends aud acquaintances who so kindly assisted at the funeral of their late son and brother, last Sun day. The Seattle Post-Intelliyenccr says that thero aro less than 200 China men in Seattle and the vast majority or thoso out of employment aro pre paring to leave: that there are not a dozen Chiuamen in Seattle occupy ing positions where their employ ment excludes whito women. It fur ther says that the demand for white servants is greatly iu excess of tho supply. It is considered certain that the steam colliers are to be retired from the traffic between the Sound and San Francisco aud sailing vessels substituted. The purchase in San Frnucisco hist Saturday of the Amer ican ship Commodore. Blanchard master, 1,946 tons, for the Departure bay coal trade, is considered verifica tion ot the statement. At tho various fish markets in Port- laud, says the JRi'vary, are displayed salmon whoso leaks have grown so long that it was necessary to cut them off in order to make sales. These fish aro certainly unfit for food and dealers selling such should be prosecuted. A J.ifo Saving? Present. Mr. M. E.
