cv Mw iatta gtftoran. ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY ...JULY 22. 18S7 GRAIN SHIPMENTS. Paget sound will this year ship several cargoes of grain, perhaps quite a num ber: The extent of the business will be dependent upon the number of Teasels suitable for wheat arriving there with inward cargo, and by chance arnTalB or others. The great bulk of that tonnage taken to arrive or coming with no busi ness will oontinue to enter the Columbia. Gradually the exportation of grain from Puoet Bound ports must grow, especially if the Columbia river remains closed to cheap carriage of grain this way. J.ne rail lines are now announcing even rates to Tacoma and Portland, om hauling over the Cascades and the other having u ea 'run down bill. Without river competition, carrying charges on jrtieat to rial water will not be greatly lessened, and this is something that should strike the grain produoer and the Portland citi zen with catapultic force. Oregoman, 21. The Oregonian sometime ago be gan to see the light, and has made many utterances that show how clear ly it now realizes the necessity lot an open river. As between an open river and via the Sound, the advantage in having grain shipped by the way of the Co lumbia river, its natural outlet, is so manifest as to require no comment It is evident in this regard that the interests of all Columbia dwellers are identical, whether in Portland, Asto ria, "Walla "Walla or elsewhere. It is for us, then, whose interests are identical, to unite in an effort to have these shipments made down the Columbia river, and not diverted from their natural channel, wherein they can be carried cheaper than in any other way. Kiver competition is what iB needed and river competition it must come to. The situation is unparalleled in the United States. A corporation holding the key to the transportation system of thousands of square miles and credited if not actually guilty with using every effort to retard even the snail-like pace at which govern ment work is being carried on on the upper Columbia. Numerous schemes have been pro posed and advocated from time to time, some of them apparently feasible. At present the portage sytsem meets, deservedly, with favor. Some move is necessary, and that soon. It will be the province and the purpose of the coming waterway convention soon to meet in this city to discuss and select a concerted plan of operations that can be pushed to a successful conclusion. One thing in this connection must not be forgetten: it is claimed that a 35 rate to Tacoma is as good as a $1 rate ,to Portland, for the alleged reason that wheat at Tacoma is worth the same as it is at San Francisco. Wheat afloat at Astoria should be worth as much as wheat afloat at San Francisco. Next Tuesday a subscription mil be opened for one day only in Europe and America for a new loan, author ized by the directors of the Panama canal company. The shares offered will have a par value of 8100,000,000, but the loan is to be negotiated at a discount of Ul per cent, so that if all the bonds are taken the the pro ceeds will amount to only $42,500, 000. The loan is to run forty-three years, with interest at 3 per cent of the par value. De Lesseps, in a let ter to the. shareholders, states that 820,000,000 of the last emission is still on hand, but that prudence demands a new emission in case of a sudden call for money when political events might make it difficult of procurement, and in order to place the company in a position to residt any attacks of enemies to the enterprise. Ho maintains that with the Eum of $120,000,000 authorized by the government the canal can be fin ished, or, if not entirely completed, will be open for traffic on the date fixed. This loan will raise the obliga tions of the company to nearly 8400, 000,000, and the annual fixed charges with .expenses of administration will become nearly $20,000,000. At this .rate $42,500,000 in cash will not last very long, even "with the addition of $20,000,000 said to be on hand. The canning of green peas, which is now a bnsy industry in Delaware, is an interesting process. The peas are shelled by hand and then fed into the hopper of a separator, which di vides them into three grades. Then they are put into copper kettles, wherej they are steamed just enough to wrin kle the outer skins and intensify, if possible, the vivid green of the pea. They are then filled into cans, which are placed on an iron tray and dipped in a trough or tub of boiling water, which runs into the cans, filling them to the brim. This water contains whatever of a preservative nature is put into the cans to preserve the vegeta bla The cans are then wiped, sealed and packed in iron cages, each cage holding two hundred and forty-eight cans. These cages are put into air tight steam kettles, where the cans are subjected to hot steam under in- tense pressure for about fifteen or twenty minutes. The peas are then ready for market The nomination of Powell by the Ohio Democrats yesterday is a strik ing exemplar of the victory of matter over mind. Thunnan, a statesman and a public servant with a magnifi cent record for honesty and efficiency, was set aside by command of the money bags of the Standard Oil com pany. It was "necessary" that Thur- man should be beaten, and the Stand ard Oil company through its attorney in the Senate, Henry B. Payne, whose money bought his seat in that plutoc racy, gave the Ohio Democrats notice that if Thunnan was nominated he would be defeated. And they took their medicine and set Thunnan aside. The people of Ohio will set their nominee aside in November and elect Gov. Foraker. Pbikce Ferdinand has consented to accept the call of the Sobranje to the Bulgarian throne, and the troubles of that kingdom seem likely to cease for a time at least As Prince Ferdi nand is an ofHcer in the Austrian ser vice, his election is regarded as n proof that Austria influence predomi nates at Sofia. The Eussian candi date, the prince of Mingrelia, seems to have been not even considered by the Sobranje, and in that sense Bussia stands defeated, But it is not unlike ly that Russia will take active steps to make the new king's reign unpleas ant. m i It appears evident that senator Sherman will not get the indorsement of his state as a presidential candidate in the Republican convention soon to be held in Toledo. Mr. Blaine's Ohio friends are up in arms against any such action, and threaten to defeat the Republican state ticket should such a resolution be adopted, It will be difficult for the country at largo to understand why there should be any opposition to Mr. Sherman in a state of which he has so long been the foremost Republican. A Calais, Maine, man, who has been reading in the papers accounts of the alleged star of Bethlehem, has made up his mind that it is an omen of the destruction of the world by an other deluge, and has made prepara tions for such an event, so it is said, by building a new variety of Noah's ark. Unlike the original, however, the ark is equipped with wheels, so that it can be moved about on land as well as on water. It also has a briok chimney, and fireplaces in three rooms on the first floor. The question as to whether the nat uralization of a foreigner has the ef fect to make his minor son a citizen on coming of age has been tried in Missouri, in a contested election for the office of sheriff. The supreme court of that state held that the minor was made a citizen by the naturaliza tion of his father, but the case has been appealed to the United States supreme court The JLondon Times announces that photography in co.lora is now an ac complished fact; that after three years of study, experiment and chemical re search, a Mr. Mayall, of New Bend street, has produced several colored photographic portraits, without the aid of handwork or bush, which pos sesses the brilliancy and delicacy of highly finished miniatures in oils. The interstate commission has de cided that any railroad lying wholly within one state, but which makes rates and issues bills to points in an other state, is, so far as that traffic is concerned, subject to the provisions of the interstate commerce law. Glass dollars are the latest coun terfeit. Glass gives a ring to the false metaL The glass dollar is brit tle and may bo easily broken with a hammer. The prosecution of Jacob Sharpe and the other boodlers who have been tried has cost New York $30,000 this year, it is reported. Justice comes high in New York. Their Business Booming.
