ASTORIA. OREGON:
SUNDAY.
.JULY 10. 15S7
Less yian twenty-five miles of
distance remain unbriclged by rail
between the great states of Cali
fornia and Oregon.
Never again, says the Grass
Valley, Cal., Tit7ois, will the
salmon run the rivers here as they
once did. This is a fish that civil
ization kills. Cities sewer into
the streams, land is cultivated on
the banks of streams and loosened
soil is washed into the running
water and thousands of other de
filements follow where man is locat
ed, and so certain fishes give way.
It is the same way with the buffalo
of the plains, the red deer of the
prairies and forests and with many
game quadrupeds and birds. The
trout fish of the Truckee river and
of our mountain lakes will not sur
vive sawdust and civilization for
many years, and trout will be suc
ceeded by carp and catfish or some
other fish that has the nature of a
hog. This applies wholly to the
Sacramento and partially to the
Columbia, where the run can even
yet be insured for future years.
i
Tt is frond to know a court has
D
at last been found to upset the
old-fashioned, fallacy that it
is better that ninety and
nine guilty men should es
cape than that one innocent man
should be convicted. This moss
covered fiction has been the cause,
first and last, of a great deal of
mischief. The. supreme court of
Illinois, in a recent decision,
(Adams vs. the People, 109 111.,
451,) held that an instruction was
properly refused which asserted
the policy of the law to be, that it
is better that ninety and nine,
or any number, of guilty
persons should escape than that
one innocent person should suffer;
because, first, there is no policy of
the law upon the subject or for the
consideration of the jury; and, sec
ondly, it is not within the purpose
of the law that any guilty person
should escape, or any innocent one
be convicted. The question for the
consideration of the jury is the
guilt or innocence of the accused,
and it is not for them to inquire
what is politic to do. The propo
sition is a very reasonable one and
the decision will doubtless meet
with the approval of all legal au
thorities. Tlie Verdict Unanimous.
W. D. Suit, Drugeist. Rippns, 1ml..

Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One mau took six bottles, and was cured

"Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi
cine x have ever handled in my 20 vears"
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou

mony, so that the verdict is unanimous

DEATH OF BEN HOLLADAY.
The .Man Who Was Once the Autocrat
Of Oregon.
The death of Ben Holladay, which
took place at St. Vincent's hospital in
Portland last Friday evening, recalls
reminiscences of a man well known
to most Astorians, a familiar figure
on our streets, and one of the most
prominent men in the country. Born
in Kentucky nearly seventy years ago,
he had amassed a fortune in Kansas
at the breaking out of the Mexican
war by successful cattle trading, go
ing thence to Utah, whore his name
as a bold speculator is still a house
hold word. From there he went to
California,-made and lost big money
on big contracts, put on and coined
money in his famous overland stage
line, operated two lines of steamers
between northern and southern Pa
cific coast ports, dipped into mines,
handled millions, was a financial
power, strong, imperious, hostile, un-
givmg, great in nis nates ana inena
ships, and at the zenith of prosperity.
Twenty years ago he was the king
pin: his word was law, his endorse
ment sufficient, his frown con
demnatory. He had let go of his
stage business at a big figure
and was the controller of all water
traffic on the Pacific coast ex
cept the P. M. S. S. Co. He owned
everything everywhere that turned a
wheel, made and unmade men, and
enjoyed his power which was won by
force of energy, enterprise and oppor
tunity. He came to Oregon in 1868,
organized transportation lines by land
and water, took all ho wanted and
held all he took, created numerous
contests, lived in regal style in Port
laud, occasionally swept up and down
the river in his own special boat, dis
dainfully refusing to have a line
thrown out from his vessel to a dock
at Astoria, spent money lavishly and
generously, built a magnificent struct
ure at the Seaside, guided and di
rected all his great affairs as became
a lordly mind that was dominant in
its jurisdiction.
About fifteen years ago there came
a tide in his affairs that led to ruin.
He was compelled to relinquish the
reins of railroad guidance to others,
and take a" back seat in every sense of
the word. Since 76 he had been but
a shadow of his former self and the
last eleven years of his life were em
bittered by tedious litigation and
financial embarrassments, and the
quiet voiced old man who loitered in
gentle chat at the entrance to the
hotel was in marked contrast to the
Ben Holladay of former years.
Ho was a great politician; he hnd
met tho great men of the nation from
Daniel Webster to Jas. G. Blaine,
knew them and they him, had spent
season after season at Washington,
where had he listed he might by force
of wealth and natural aptitude have
shone in any position. His knowl
edge of public men and public meas
ures was equaled by his keen inBight
into political affairs. In an hour's
conversation with the writer in July
'81 he foretold the defeat of Blaine.
He was, in his day, a great, sturdy,
successful man, who made great
wealth and loved great power; a man
who brooked no interference or op
position; who bought what he
couldn't crush and dominated in all
things possible; royal in his gen
erosities, vindictive in his disagree
ments and with much about him that
compelled admiration and overshad
owed the defects in his disposition.
His life, if written, would read like
a romance, and no coast chronicles
ire possible without extended men
tion of his achievements. All his
children by his first wife are dead;
now ho lies dead in Portland, and
thus ends the career of one of the
most remarkable men of nny ago or
country.
Excitement in Texas,
Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris. Tex., by the re
markable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn
in bed, or raise his head: everybody
said he was dying of Consumption. A
trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery
was sent him. Finding relief, he
bought a largo bottle and a box of Dr.
Kings's New Life Pills; bv tho time he
had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery, he was well
and had gained in flesh thirty-six
pounds.
