AST0B1A. OREGON:
-WEDNESDAY-
J ONE 1? U :
AS IT GOES
Os her last trip down the s'teBinW
Oregon toot to San Francisoo, arrW
in2 last Friday, 1,000 tons ol wheat
The 0. E. & N. Co., gets $2.50 a ton
to take this Oregon -wheat to San
Francisco. This S2.50 a ton ia paid it
in this instance by Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., of Portland. The 1,000 tons will
be loaded foreign in San Francisoo.
Under a different system that 1,000
tons of wheat and 100 other 1,000 ton
cargoes would be loaded at Astoria,
and the profit, for of course there is a
profit, would be divided between the
O. B. & N. Co., Portland and Astoria.
Under the present system the com
merce of the Columbia is wrongfully
diverted. The Astobian in comment
ing on these matters always states ex
act facts: it chooses its words and says
nothing that is not capable of direct
proof, or that admits of successful
contradiction.
Such firms as Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., can write ordering The AsiOEiAJf
discontinued, all they like. The.As-
tobiax does not concern itself as to
their patronage, and any one who
does not desire to subscribe for this
paper as a business proposition and
for the information it contains need
not do so. The Astobian has no feel
ing in the matter, beyond desiring to
show that the existing system of ship
ping grain is not on public business
principles. It is slightly surprised
that those in Portland who know
better and who are acquainted with
the facts should aid in' perpetuating
so unjust and unbosiness like a sys
tem. They aid it by silence, as much as
by sarcastic reference or caustie con
tradiction, at the same time knowing
that what The Astobian asserts is the
exact truth.
A CASE IN POINT.
One of the industrial wonders of
this wonderful state, says the Oregon
ian, ilwhy it will not pay to make
butter in Oregon, while it pays to ship
the article into the state from Califor
nia and Iowa. The shutting down of
the McMinnville creamery a few days
is noted. The Reporter of that town
says the market is overstocked to an
alarming degree and that several
thousand pounds of a first-class prod
uct now on hand cannot be disposed
of except at a loss. Will some saga
cious middleman tell the publio why
this is thus, as neither the producer at
one end of the line nor the consumer
at the other is ablo to fully under
stand it?
James Gobdon Bennett, while at
Monaco, just before his late depar
ture for Egypt, had a quarrel with
the princely ruler of that famous gam
bling resort, and the princeling gave
orders that the American millionaire
should bo excluded from the borders
of the principality. Now, as all the
world knows, the palace at Monaco
stands on a great rock overhanging the
Mediterranean. Mr. Bennett's yacht
lay near at hand, and, after the quar
rel, he went on board and spent the
night in steaming up and down in
front of the castle with the foghorn
blowing every other minute. The
disturbed prince next morning made
peace with his old friend, and Mr.
Bennett returned to Monaco.
The Rothschilds, who control the
northern railway of France, state that
the six days' system has been ex
tended and will be extended still
further. Tho directors state that they
intend to exercise their right of cen
sorship over the immoral literature
sold by Hatchette's on the railway
bookstalls. The six-days week will
vet be the watchword of labor through
out the world. It will be rather odd
if it should fall to the lot of the Roth
schilds, themselves children of Israel,
to graft-the most distinctively Mosaic
of all the commandments upon the
social economy of modern Christen
dom.
The Astobian believes that a sub
scription -paper for stock in the Asto
ria and South Coast railroad circulat
d in Salem, Albany and McMinnville
would meet with satisfactory response.
Their interests and our interests are
identical. They need railroad outlet
to the sea, and will, doubtless, co-operate
in any practical means toward
such desirable end.
Sixty. Mohammedan eunuchs, for
merlv owned by prince Baelb Bueby
of India, compose tho crew of tho
English steamship St. Fillians, now
discharging a cargo from the island of
Elba at Philadelphia. Prince Baelb
Bueby is a wealthy chief living in the
interior of India.
Secbetabt Busk said in a late in
terview, in reply to an intimation
that he was not conducting himself
with sufficient dignity for a cabinet
efficer: "If I were president I couldn't
k help having some fun now and then."

IN SOLEHN CONCLAVE.
The following is from yesterday's
Oregenian:
A regular meeting of the board of trade
was held last evening, president Donald
Macleay in the chair.
The matter of the libeling of thoship
Borrowdale for pilotage and the effort
being made by the pilots to perpetnate
the old rates came np for consideration.
Mr. McKee said that if the O. E. & N.
Co. did not wish to fulfill their contract
with the board, they would be placed in
a most awkward position.
Some discussion followed, and the
failure of the O. B. & N. to have a tug at
the bar was considered a violation of
their agreement, whioh was a matter of
deepest interest to the board.
The matter of appointing marshals for
this city and Astoria, to look after sailor
boarding-houses, also came up for dis
cussion. It was stated that no support
could be looked to from Astoria in carry
ing out the law in this matter.
The marshals will, however, be state
officers, and can enforce the law at As
toria as well as here.
It was finally decided that a committee
be appointed, to report the names of two
persons suitable for marshals, and also
an attorney be employed by the board to
supervise and direct these officers, and,
also to look after the suit against the
Borrowaaie, ana a motion to that eueot
was carried,
It would bo interesting to know
who it was that stated "that no sup
port could be looked to from Astoria
in carrying out the law in this mat-
I ter," and what were his grounds for
uttering such gratuitous insult It
seems impossible for our Portland
brethren to discuss commercial mat
ters' without a little side whack at
Astoria, and they always make them
selves ridiculous.
U.E SENT IT EAST.
For a year I was troubled -with pains la
my back and aide, and headaches, the re
sult of liver and kidney trouble. I vm
attracted to Joy's Vegetable SarsaparlUa,
by the startling testimonials In the pa
pers. They seemed so practical I was In
duced to try It, knowing that as It was
purely vegotable.'lt would do no harm.
It acted as a gentle laxative. After the
second bottle my palniand aches disap
peared. It did so much for mo that I
sent several bottles to my family la New
Jersey, who also took It with tho most
satisfactory results.
