ASTORIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY
DECEMBER 23. 1835
American ships are carrying
petroleum from New York to Chi
na for 22 cents a case.
It begins to look as though
Dawne would make a good start
er for the proposed penal colony,
in Alaska.
At a provincial town in France
during the recent elections a wo
man came forward to deposit a
ballot for her sick husband. The
Mayor accepted her visit as an
honor and regretted that she could
not add another for herself.
he does not intend to make such
rapid changes from Republican to
Democratic service as to throw
the public bnsiness into confusion.
WHAT THEY SAY.
The Northwestern Xumberman
is of the opinion that there will be
a scarcity of lumber next season, by
reason of the mild weather, which
prevents the cutting o logs in the
pineries of Michigan and Wiscon
sin and the hauling of the same to
the streams. An advance of $2 to
$3 per thousand is anticipated.
This, says the JVetcs, will be the
means of oneninir a market fori
the lumber of Oregon and "Wash
ington. A Li verpooi. paper of the 27th
says that several passengers who
arrived in the Merse' river by
the Cunard steamship TTmbrta had
traveled from San Francisco, and
by an arrangement made with the
Midland Railway company, which
placed a special train at their dis
posal, arrived in London within
fourteen days of their leaving the
Pacific coast. This is probably
without narallel in the history of
speedy traveling.
Jewelers state that fine diamonds
are very hard to get this year. That
is an inconvenience which most of
the world has experienced for many
years.
An iron ore famine is bothering
the manufacturing districts of the
east It is not often that a country
is charged with having too much sil
ver and at the same time too little
iron.
Although John Sherman is not the
highest official in the United States,
"White house etiquette accords to his
wife, in the absence of a Mrs. Grover
Cleveland, the first social position at
the capital.
Some of the eastern papers are call
ing npon the senate to consider all
nominations made by the president
in open session. The main support
of the proposition comes from the
Republican senators.
Truckee proposes to get rid of its
Chinese by ceasing all business rela
tions with them. That method, rig
idly followed throughout the country,
would effectually settle the Chinese
question.
Secretary "Whitney denies that he
indorsed the object of the recent
meeting of the silver men in New
York. The secretary would rather be
in accord with the president than he
right.
Chicago is now mourning over a
350,000 fire. The Galveston suffer
ers should return the 8150 given
them in the hour of their recent
affliction by the great hearted citizens
of the Lake City.
The report that Gladstone favors
home rule for Ireland meets with
general credence. In fact, Gladstone
appears to be the only man in Eng
land who has doubts as to the accu
racy of the rumor.
Madrid is reported to be in a fear
ful state of excitement over the re
port that Alfonso's widow will proba
bly bear an heir. The Carlists are
afraid that the Queen Christina is
preparing to introduce a bogus son
to her subjects.

Uxdek date of the SGtli, the
World's Washington correspond
ent telegraphs: The land office
has prepared a decision in the case
of land claimed by the Northern
Pacific railroad in "Washington
territory. This decision, which is
to be issued in a few days, declares
that the company's claim to land
in that territor3r, extending along
100 miles of the line is not good,
and that the land shall be released
for public settlement. This
throws open to the public two and
a half million acres of land, and
will be a great blow to the North
ern Pacific in the northwest, as
that land has been confidently
reckoned on as an asset of the
road.

And now it is talked plainly,
openly and above board, says the
Albany Bulletin that the fish lad
der at Oregon City is a fraud, a
swindle and no good. It is said
that Mr. Clark took the contract
for excavating the way for $1,350,
and that the rest of the work did
not exceed &G50, making 2,000 in
all expended on the works. This
if true, leaves 8,000 unaccounted
for, and divers rumors are passing
from place to place that no vouch
ers can be shown by the state offi
cials to show where this money
was paid out and receipted for by
workmen employed on the ladder.
Personally we know nothing about
it, but we do know that talk is go
ing the rounds that a gross swindle
has been perpetrated. Perhaps it
would be well for the state ofiicinls
to look a little after this matter,
and hush the tongue of calumny
by making a public exhibit of the
expenditures.
Cincinnati Commercial Gaz
ette says: Every correspondent
in Washington has abundant
means, through personal relations
with those who often see the pres
ident, to ascertain his characteristics
and his methods. Ten months of
such observation have led to the
conviction that President Cleve
land is a man of decided ability,
of hard and abundant common
sense, of untiring application and
industry, of unimpeachable integ
rity, and a courage which all the
road agents of his party will fail to
shake. He holds the public inter
est above the claims of party. He
aims to do only honest, things in
government. He searches with
care for proper men to hold office.
He looks only towards a Demo
cratic administration of affairs, but
