Newspaper Page TextCO he gailtj gtstomu. ASTORIA. OREGON: FKIDAY .OCTOBER 28. 18S7 Northern Idaho residents want to be annexed to Washington. The four northern counties of. that territory should be a part of. the great state of "Washington. The S. F. Alta thinks it is possible that parties in this country may yet be classified as the Democratic, the Republican and the Vindictive. The latter would make a splendid refuge for the howlers and the soap chewers. As English land syndicate that purchased a tract in the Texas Pan Handle, consisting of 237 sections, is now engaged in an attempt to drive a colony of settlers from it. The latter propose to remain where they nre, and lliev have sent an appeal to Gov. Ross in which they set forth their claims. Assistant Secretary of the In terior Muldeow, it is said, will suc ceed Lamar, who will go on the su preme bench. Muldrow, it is claimed, nr.r.ns on TITll imiffwl fiaTiaCltV for wort, close appucuuuu emu ia b- with greater firmness than his supe rior officer, with whom he is in accord on the leading policy of the depart ment TriE London Telegraph finds 113 qut of 530 peers worthy to sit in West minster. The balance are black sheep, and they are hopelessly eccentric or congcnitally stupid. The Telegraph suggests that the peers pick out a small minority and let them do the legislating for the crowd, and thereby remove a genuine obstacle to real Irish reform. In a paper read before the recent meeting of tho American congress of forestry, it was stated that the cutting of the pine forests of the Mississippi northwest, is progressing at the rate of eight hundred million feet a year, presaging the obliteration of those of Wisconsin in fifteen years,and those of Minnesota and Michigan in a compara tively brief time. After the axe and saw have done their work, the fires break out and complete the work of destruction. The power of an ocean storm. was well illustrated a few days ago at Bishop Rock, England, when an iron column twenty-three feet long and weighing 6,000 pounds, part of a new light-house being built, which during a storm had been left lashed by a half inch chain at each end to strong eye bolts, was found tossed up by the waves twenty feet to top of the rock, swaying about like a piece of timber. Two days later, when the laborers were able to laud, a black smith's anvil weighing 150 pounds, which they had left in a hole S feet deep and only 2) feet in diameter, had also been washed by the waves completely out of the hole. As the time draws near for the seven condemned murderers of policemen in Chicago to expiate their crime, there is the usual amount of maudlin sympathy for "those unfortunate an archists." Call things by their right names. Those men are brutal mur derers. They had a fair trial: if any one ever deserved hanging, they do. If there is any sympathy going to waste, and it is worth having, give it 10 tne seven policemen wno were killed in the streets of Chicago by these fiends, in May, '8G.- If there's any sympathy left over, give it to the wives, families and friends of these defenders of tho city's peace. But don't waste any on their assassin?. The people along the Columbia riv er and its vicinity, from Astoria to Baker City and Spokane Falls, says the East Oregonian, should make some concerted effort toward sending a committee to Olympia during the next session of the Washington terri tory legislature, to urge the adoption of some measure looking to the open ing of the Columbia river, or to build ing state portage railways around the obstructions. Washington is almost equally interested with Oregon in this matter, and the two commonwealths ought to act conjointly in securing this great object If Washington would take the necessary steps this winter, Oregon could follow next win ter with a similar movement, and the end could soon be attained. But the subject needs presenting and pressing. There is a touching story in the current number of the American Magazine entitled "A Woman Who Failed. " In jnany respects it is one of the best American short stories we have ever read. This woman failed because she could not give her hus band the sympathy and devotion he needed. He was a poor, stuggling doctor, figliting his way up into prac tice and reputation. Such a man needed a brave, hopeful wife. This woman was a creature who, during her husband's hardest fight with pov erty, conld not help reminding him that had she married her other lover her life would have been easier. She did not deserve to succeed. The wo man who can watch her husband bat tle manfully and honestly against poverty and remind that somebody else might have made more of a suc cess, is as the man who marries a del icate woman, watches her grow tired and feeble over her work and then in forms her that he might have married a stronger and healthier woman. Adah Atobvch, of the Murray, Idaho, Sun, says the Northwest, an undoubtedly claim the distinction of running a daily paper on the smallest numerical constituency which sup ports a daily anywhere in the world. Murray has not more than a thousand inhabitants and there are probably not more than another thousand with in the SinVs field of circulation. The paper is printed on a job pre5;?, one page at a time, and circulates 300 copies. Aulbach makes it pay. lie was once a partner of Henry George in the publication of a penny daily in San Francisco. In former times, when he worked at the case in Phila delphia, he had the reputation of be ing the fastest compositor in that city. He is editor, reporter, business man ager, bookkeeper, collector and fore man of the Sun office, and besides finds time to lay out roads, make the county officials behave themselves, and negotiate the sale of mining prop erties.
