ASTORIA. OREGON:
TUUKSDAY.
...JUNE 27.18S9.
1 Arir JM.
Astoria now enters upon a new era.
The advent o a transcontinental rail
road, now assured, gives an impetus
to business, a prominence to this sec
tion and an assurance of growth that
justify mutual congratulation.
"With all that is of promise in the
future, the letter, "Astoria Revisited,"
which appeared recently in Tun Asto-
bian, seems to have as much of truth
as humor or fiction in its statements.
The news published elsewhere this
morning is encouraging aud satisfac
tory to those who have labored for
years toward that result, and is an in
dex of rapid prosperity.
It is a question whether Astoria is
nrenared for this: whether she is
aware of her high destiny.
Now at the outset The Astoetan
argues as it alwavs has that we must
stand together, must cultivate har
mony, fraternity, public spirit.
"We have steadily declined to enter
into personal fights or wordy controv
ersies, believing that Mich squabbles
do not help the town, and preferring
to bend our energy toward all possi
ble effort in fostering and furthering
any public scheme or public project
for advancement of public interest
and the city's welfare.
This is believed to be a good course
to continue. Let the barking dogs con
tinue to bark: it pleases them and
hurts no man who is a man. Let us
aid all pnblic advancement so far as
in us lies, and prepare lirm social and
business foundations for the great and
prosperous city that is to occupy this
peninsula.
This new era makes possible much
that so far could only be hoped for
It opens the gateway of the lower
Columbia to the commerce of the in
terier: it places us in connection with
what has hitherto been "the outside
world,"' and adds value to every foot
of land in this sectien: it assuies the
inflow of capital seeking profitable in
vestment, of labor seeking profitable
empleyment: of geuuis, skill and in
dustry and the rapid development of
our great but hitherto only partially
developed resources.
ATitiALwill shortly take place in
New York harbor of the new steam
ship Evolution, which it the expecta
tions of the inventor, Dr. Walter M.
Jackson, arc realized, will inaugurate
a new era in steam navigation. This
vessel has no rudder, and is both
steered and propelled by a jetof water,
which will issue at the enormous pres
sure of 2,500 pounds to the square
inch, and the ship is expected to have
a speed of from thirty to forty miles
an hour. Many similar experiments
have been made to propel ships on
this principle, but all have failed; on
these previous attempts the aim of the
inventors was to use as large a jet of
water as jiossible at a low presure.
Dr. Jackson's plans provide that in
stead of a jet of five square feet area,
he uses one of only half a square inch
while he increases the velocity of the
water discharge from thirty reot per
second to one of COO feet per second.
This, in a nutshell, is the theory on
which Dr. Jackson bases his hopes of
success, which may result in a revo
lution in steamship navigation, espec
ially in the case of ships of war.
a-
Embezzlers will no longer find Can
ada a harbor of refuge for them. The
AVheldon extradition act has become
a law, but the retroactive clause was
first stricken out. All embezzlers,
boodlers and other criminal refugees,
who have found an asylum in the Do
minion will be allowed to remain un
molested; but their ranks cannot be
recruited in the future. Fugitive
criminals who now cross the border
from the United States will do so at
their peril. Canada will surrender
them without reference to the pro
visions of extradition treaty. The list of
extraditable crimes embodied in the
Weldon act include every offense for
which America will ever desire to ask
for the return of a fugitive.
The latest enterprise of 13riti-.li cap
ital is the organization of a stock
companv to raise the French vessels
sunk in Aboukir bay by Nelson in
17!)8. Tradition says that the Orient,
on board which young Casabinanca
stood on the burning deck, contained
millions of siecie and two silver gates
taken from the great Cathedral at
Malta. That was before tho time
when Napoleon thought it necessary
to order the army to be religious.
Tnr. official figures of the United
States census in 1790 were 3,929,320,
of which number G05,G53 were slaves.
A short time after these figures ap
peared Capt. G. Imlay, a Virginian,
published an article in which he
placed the population of this country
in 1890 at C4,000,000, and was therefore
supposed by his friends to be a vision
ary. His prediction was surprisingly
accurate.
TnE Northern Pacific is to withdraw
from its connection in tliA rbniulinn
JNortuwest within a few months. It
stated the withdrawal is tho re
sult of the Canadian Pacific linvintr
made certain concessions to the North
ern Pacific in withdrawing certain
competition in earning trade east
from Tacoma and Seattle.
Tnn Brooklyn Eanle cannot believe
that an increase of the salaries of
state legislators would make them
any more honest A man who won't
be honest on S3 per day will steal on
ten.
The most expensive readv-made cor
set sold in the fashionable stores is
valued at 35. It is made by hand in
Paris and is lined withlieavy silk, with
the steels covered with down.
TnE wife of ex-president Hayes died
at Fremont, Ohio, last Tuesday.
A LUCKY THIAL.

appetite and distress after eating, pains

remedies, only getting temporary relief.
I was recommended to try a bottle of
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla as a test, and
while taking the first bottle I became coni

Captain Jessen's Family Troubles.
G. M. Jesseu is the captain of a bay
steamer. A few weeks ago he peti
tioned the superior court to divorce
him from Catherine Jessen, alleging
that she was extremely cruel. She
would not prepare his meals or take
care of his house or chilren. He also
charged that she ran up big bills for
him to pay and called him bad names.
Airs. Jessen denied all of the char
ges, and in a cross-complaint charged
that lie iiau called her an "old sow'
and other bad names. Once, she savs
he threatened to send her to the home
for inebriates. She had no objection
to a divorce, if it were granted to her
ana tne community property and ctnl
dren were given to her. The com
munity property is worth 15,000. The
two children are both boys, aged 17
ana la respectively.
When the case was called iu judge
Rearpen's court yesterday Mrs. Jes
sen's attorney moved for 3100 counsel
fees, 125 costs 'and 50 a month ai-.
mony. Mr. Jessen's attorney pleaded
that she already had everything, and
Mr. Jessen could not afford to pay the
money asked for.
Judge Rearden took another view
of the matter, however, and ordered
the money paid. -&'. F. Chronicle.
