Notes of The Sullivan-Orain light.
Comment By Celebrated Professionals.
Portland, July 9. Mrs. Max
Yonug. of Astoria, made application
to file on a timber claim at Oregon
Citv this morning. The register said
he had instructions from the commis
sioner of thergeneral land office Jhat
no more filings by married women on
timber-land be allowed. But a mar
ried woman can formally file un ap
plication and then appeal the rejected
application to the secretary of the in
terior. J. T. Apperson will take charge at
Oregon City as register of the land of
fice on the 15th inst.
Portlanders are anxiously inquiring
about the Astoria railroad. "When
told that the road will be built sure,
some shrug their shoulders, and oth
ers say, '-then Portland must come
down "to Astoria."
THE CODY CASE."
A. J. Cody's counsel to-day stated
he would not allow his client to waive
tho stay of proceedings granted him
by the supreme court. Supreme jus
tice Thayer was willing to vacate the
order yesterday, but Cody is in the
hands of his lawyer, hence he will
have to remain in the county jail until
November and serve his sentence after
the judgment of the criminal court is
affirmed.
fox's diamond belt scorned.
New Orleans, July 9. Sullivan
says he will not accept Fox's belt,
either for his bulldog or himself. He
feels that it is not necessary
to establish the fact that he
is the champion pugilist. He
will remain here several days as
a guost. He said he would never en
ter the ring again under any consider
ation. He had done his share of
slogging during a rather brief career
in the fistic arena aud wanted no more
of it. He certainly did not iuteud to
fight a California negro for the sim
ple reason that he considered it en
tirely too degrading for a white man
to place himself on equality with a
negro.
His references to Kilrain'a fighting
qualifications were of a most pleasant
character, concluding with the re
mark that he (Sullivan) had got more
effective thumping in his conleat with
Kilrain than ever in his life before.
Owing to the dislocation of the
knuckle on the first finger of his left
baud, which occurred in the seventh
round he was compelled to make the re
mainder of the light almost single
hauded.
Kilrain is suilering quite severely
this morning but his backers say no
bones are broken aud he will be ajl
right shortly. Various rumors in re
gard to his condition are iu circula
tion. There jare reports flying about
that he is dying. There is no truth
whatever in these, although Kilrain is
rather badly hurt internally.
Governor Lowry of Mississippi this
morning issued a proclamation which
states that he will extradite all the
participants iu the fight especially
Sullivan and Kilrain and their
seconds.
Sullivan's fear of arrest will prob
ably interfere with arrangements for a
reception as the champion ia being
kept secluded.
It is reported that Kilrain was
seriously sick before the fight, his
ailment being of a private nature.
Mitchell is supposed to have known
this but Donovan did not.

Milwaukee, July 9. At a strong
session of the executive Grand Army
council last night, a long set of reso
lutions were adopted, practically
stopping all further preparations for
the national encampment in August,
until assurances are given that it will
be held in this city. This action is
due to the refusal of the mayor and
common council to appropriate S50,-
000 for tents and barracks, unless it
was certain that the Grand Armyjmen
were coming. Eight state depart
ment commanders met in Chicago
and decided to issue circulars advis
ing posts not to come unless a one
cent rate be granted by the railroads.
This action which upset, all local plans
led to the result.
PORTLAND NOTES.
Portland, July 9. Jacob Zimmer
man a wealthy East Portlander was
"bunkoed" out of $2,000.
Over 3,000 has been raised during
the day for the Ellensburg sufferers.
About 10 this morning B.F. Jessup,
a laborer, while -working in a ditch at
the corner of Russel and Woods
streets, Albina, was killed by a bank
caving upon him. Some fellow labor
ers saw the occurrence and hastened
to his rescue, but before he could be
reached death had come to his relief.
It was over half an hour from the time
the cave occurred till the body was re
covered. His death occurred from
smothering. The coroner was "at once
notified, and at noon the body reached
the morgue.
THE sullivan-kilrain fight.
New Orleans, July 9. The earlier
rounds of .the prize fight were not as
revolting as was ordinarily supposed.
During the entire progress of the
sevent-five rounds neither of the com
batants showed any outward signs of
severe physical punishment. There
was not that abundant flow of blood
from the nose or mouth which em
bellishes the accounts of "scraps'
between third-rate fighters. Later in
the fight when Kilrain began to grow
weak in his legs and arms and tot
tered about a helpless victim of Sul
livan's superior but greatly diminished
muscular force, then the spectacle be
came not only revolting but pitiable.
The Baltimore man was whipped in
the third round, when Sullivan got in
a fierce blow on his side under the
heart, from which he never recovered.
An ordinary man would have thrown
up the sponge in the next round.
Kilrain's seconds themselves acknowl
edged the fight was over then, but
with the indifference and pluck of a
hero Kilrain continued the unequal
struggle, and administered many
slugging blows to his adversary, and
yet in spite of this an indiscriminat
ing crowd, mistaking caution and
strategy for cowardice, yelled at Kil
rain, calling liim cur aud coward,
when he sought to avoid Sullivan's
blows by dodging, or when he tried to
outwind him by retreating before him
all around the ring.
Charley Mitchell said: "fm going
to challenge Sullivan to fight for 85,
000 a side within three or four months."
Parson Davis, of Chicago, said: "It
was a good fight. Kilrain is as good
and as game a man as ever stepped
into the ring. I don't think Sullivan
was ever in better form. He can thank
Muldoon, who is a great general."
W. B. Masterson, of Denver, Kil
rain's man, said: "I don't believe
anybody can lick Sullivan unless it is
Mitchell. It was a slashing good and
game fight.
Charley Johnson one of Sullivan's
backers said of Kilrain: "He is the
best man to fight for a man's money I
ever saw.
Pony Moore said: "I am disap
pointed. He was not in conditien:
the third round did the work. The
English people will be disappointed."

city, states that the King County Fish
Packing company was totally de
stroyed by fire about noon Sunday.

A Eureka dispatch of the 8th says
the schooner Collaroy. from Sidney
for Eureka, loaded with coal, went
ashore Sunday morning near Hum
boldt. The crew were saved. It was
very foggy, and the captain seeing
himself near the breakers, dropped
his anchor, which failed to hold her,
and she gradually drifted until she
was hard and fast on the sandy bottom
within about fifty yards of the beach.
The tug Jiobaras, Monday morning
picked up the crew, who had taken to
the ship's boats, bo all are saved. The
tugs at high tide would make an
effort to pull her off that
night, but a successful effort
was doubted, as it was thought that
both the ship and cargo would be a
total loss.

C03I3IDNICATED.
The Astoria and South Coast Railroad.
Astoria, July 9, 18S9.
Editor Asterian:
The little Hurry that has occurred
in railroad circles in the past few days
is peculiar.
It seems to have had its origin en
tirely in mere rumor. Mr. Crocker
could not have done otherwise than
correct a misrepresentation, and it
was the most natural thing in the
world that the Oregonian should
publish that denial, big head lines
and all.
Astoria would in all probability
have done the same tiling had the
conditions been reversed, so that it
seems to me. there is nothing to be
gained by Astoria "getting on its ear"
about it. The question is what effect
has it had on the railroad scheme?
Not the slightest in the world. Tell
ing the truth never injured a good
cause.
A false rumor, that the Southern
Pacific was building the road, never
would have built it
The question is, what i3 building
the road? It is not Astoria. Neither
is it being built because Astoria wants
it, she has wanted it for, lo, these
years! Neither can Portland prevent
its being built, though she might so
desire. It i3 the great, growing,
swelling northwest that is building it
The demands of commerce.
The growth of the country for the
past fifty years has been paving the
way for this. Every man who has
settled in our valleys or climbed the
mountains in search of mineral wealth
has contributed to this result
There never has been a time till
now that Astoria could have had a
railroad, because the conditions were
not ripe for it.
Portland has occupied a position
rarely occupied by any city where all
the trade and commerce of a great
empire, through the peculiar topog
raphy of the country, were forced
into her lap, and which through her
must pass out into the markets of the
world, regardless of the inconven
iences and delays and costs- -not nec
essary to mention here that attended
it. An illustration of what I mean
can be seen at Capt. Flavel's wharf
now.
This has all changed. The enemy
has made a flank movement aud at
tacked our base of supplies.
The country has been forced to take
up a stronger position to meet the
enemy, and occupy the last strong
hold, Astoria. It is this that is build
ing the Astoria aud South Coast rail
way, and it is this that will bring
other roads to this port.
By this movement the whole com
mercial relations of the great north
west have been changed. It is now
no Jouger iu the power of any city to
control trade at a great sacrifice to
the producer aud consumer, iu the
face of what God has done for the
country. It only remains now for the
different cities interested to clear the
decks for action.
Trade henceforth will be governed
by the laws of trade and. not by "cor
ners." The city that caingo into every
nook and corner of the land and offer
thp best bargains, both in what they
sell and buy, will get thp business.
Trade will be reduced to legitimate
competition, and a reign of prosperity
will be ushered in that will make the
region west of tho Rocky Mountains
one or ino most prosperous on tne
continent
The childish gabble about the divi
sion of territory will pass into obliv
ion, and the U. It. ic Js. Uo.s roads will
ramify every available spot of country
to be found, and together with the
great Columbia river will draw the
business of the inland empire down
and out of the mouth of the Columbia
into the markets of the world, because
over this route it can be done the
cheapest.
Two great commercial cities, Port
land aud Astoria, will be the result of
this opening up aud setting free the
channels of trade.
Let those who are disposed to be
faint hearted take oourage. Tho As
toria and South Coast road -will be
built There is a power behind it
that no man or set of men, or "head
lines" can control or thwart. It is
the manifestation of the will of a great
and growiug people. It is a necessity
originating out of the expanding con
dition of the country.
Where such necessities exist there is
always capital in abundance.
