ASTORIA. OREGON:
SUNDAY.
JULY 21, 18S9.
MIGRATORY MOVEMENTS.
The tide o emigration is only be
ginning to flow into the lower Colum
bia basin. The records show that the
greatest increase for a period has been
in the fields nearest to the centers;
and then, when the overflow would
set in beyond, there would be a check
in the former, with corresponding in
crease in the newer fields. Thus
Ohio's percentage of increase was
lowered from 1820 owing to the rush
to Indiana; Indiana's was lowered
from 1830 owing to the rush to Illinois;
Illinois' was lowered from 1840 owing
to the rush to Iowa; and Iowa's was
lowered from 1860 owing to the rush
to Nebraska. Here different in
fluences and conditions intervene.
There is a break in the stretch of nat
urally fertile lands by the arid
plains putting down from the
Rocky mountains; and at this
juncture the great war between
the two sections came on, as if the in
terruption of the continental migra
tory flow had something to do with
this great moral convulsion. But ap
parently special providences inter
vened to prevent the continuous set
tlement and development the discov
ery of the precious metals in the
Rocky Mountains, the inauguration
of work on the first Pacific railroad,
the invasion of the buffalo solitudes
by cattle-raisers, followed and accom
panied by successful experiments in
farming by irrigatien: these events
and activities carried forward the tide,
though in unsteady and irregular
movements, so that now all the ara
ble valleys west of the Missouri
river are occupied, and Oregon
and Washington are to-day
backed by continuous permanent set
tlements to the eastward. Being the
last fields for the great migratory tide
to flow into, and offering inducements
in the way of natural resources cer
tainly more varied, and probably
richer, than any of the former general
objective points of emigration had to
offer, and now being available from
all the seaports and all the great in
land centers by competing railroads,
(additional lines projected and in
progress of construction) the increase
of population of this north Pacific
region from this time on will exceed
the expectations of the most hopeful
aud add one of the most stirring
chapters to the history of American
progress.
A southern newspaper offers to
give a city lot to every new subscriber.
A rival paper makes the same offer
and agrees to throw in a city hall or
a street railroad. No dollar limit
there.
A new religious sect calling them
selves '-True Light Baptists" has
sprung up in the eastern part of South
Carolina. They do not believe in min
isters or in keeping the Sabbath.
AN UGLY DISCOVERY.
A Report That Should Be Read.
"A recent anal yzation in Philadelphia by
celebrated chemist of ten popular brands ol
sarsaparilla discloses the astonishing fact that
these ten samples of blood purifiers (?) con
tained in the aggregate tixteen different min
erals, eleven of which were active poisons.
Iodide of potash was discovered In every sam
ple, mercury was found In all but two, while
arsenic existed in six of tho ten brands. Not
one brand was the pure article."
A reporter took tho above clipping to E. "tt".
Joy, tho manufacturer of Joy's Vegetable Ear-
B&parllla. Mr. Joy exhibited no surprise. He
said druggists knew it He said he long ago
eaw tho crying need for a safo and absolutely
pure vegetable preparation of Sarsaparilla,
hence his was named Joy's vegetable sarsapa-
xilla, because "it contained nothing but pure
syrup of sarsaparilla, combined with the pure
iuicesofCaliforjttla'svegetablealteratlves.Un
like potash sarsaparillas, it docs not force im
purities tnrougnmosKm out stimulates ina
various secretive organs, thereby correcting
functional derancemeuts and eliminating all
impurities through. tho natural channels.

Washington, July 20. Tho state
department is engaged in wrestling
with a number of perplexing ques
tions relating to the enforcement of
the contract labor law. It is claimed
that persons residing in Canada and
Mexico have been in the habit of cross
ing the border for employment in the
United States. One complaint has
been lodged against an offieer of a
bank in Vermont who has lived in
Canada for forty years. Complaints
are made that large numbers of Mex
icans are allowed to cross the border
and gain employment in this country.

A CASE OF CONTEMPT.
Bakersfield, CaL, July 20. In
loiSZ J. J. Maggm appropriated a
spring and piped water therefrom for
cattle. In 1887 Emerson settled on
the land. February 8th Haggin ob
tained a perpetual injunction restrain
ing Emerson from interfering with
the water. JLately Emerson tore up
the pipes, but finally said, "You may
use the water, but you must not dig
m my land to lay pipes," and then
drove off Haggin s employes by force,
claiming to act under the advice of
commissioner Stockslager. The Em-
ersons, father and son, were arrested,
and when asked point blank by the
ludce. "Jjo von intend to obev the or
ders of this court P' answered, "I

ington." They were fined by the

AN OFFICE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, July 20. Colonel
Wilson, commissioner of public build
ings and grounds, in his annual re
port to the chief engineer, recom
mends that an office buildiner be
erected for the use of the president,
just west of the White house, and
wnere the greenhouse and. conserva
tory now stand. It is believed, savs
he, that the time has come when the
chief magistrate of the country should
no longer be obliged to have his pri
vate residence ana omce unaer the
same roof.
RETURNED TO LIFE.
Atlanta, Georgia, July 20. A
month has passed since John Pickett
expiated the crime of murder on the
gallows. The memory of the event
has been awakened in a remarkable
manner. A report comes from Sum
ter county that Pickett is still alive in
that portion of the state. After hang
ing tne Doay was taken in charge by
friends, who worked successfully at
resuscitation. If Pickett is still alive
and is apprehended, the question is
whether ne can be further punished.
He has been declared legally dead and
the-case mil prove one unparalleled
in the nistory of the state.
PREPARING FOR BATTLE.
Cairo, July 20. Advices from the
front state that General Greufell has
assumed command. The Egyptian
troops occupy a position neai tho vil
lage of Beltana. Nad el Jumi, the
Dervish leader, occupies a strong posi
tion at Khor. The Dervishers num
ber 2,500- fighting men. Several thou
sand reinforcements are coming to
them from Dongola.
THE SLAVE TRADE FORBIDDEN BV
TRIPOLI.
London, July 20. The governor of
Tripoli has issued a decree abolishing
the slave trade, and forbiddine anv
one to engage in it under pain of
severe penalties.
EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
Washington, July 20. There is no
reasonable doubt that there is to be
a session of the next congress before
December. The onlv point which
maybe said to be iindetermined is
the date. The president's private
secretary said to-day that he believed
an extra session had practically been
determined upon. Thepresidenthim-
self was quite as specmc in ins state
ment to Senator Washburn, of Min
nesota. The difference was that the
president suggested to Mr. Washburn
that it would be expedient for him to
return from Europe by the middle of
October. It is certain, however, that
congress will not be convened until
after the representatives from the new
states shall have been elected. The
day fixed by several senators who have
conversed with the president, as most
probable is the last Monday in
October, or the first Monday in No
vember. The Verdict Unanimous.
W.D.'Sult, Drugeist. Bippus, Intl.,
testifies: "1 can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of Rheumatism of 10 year-.' standing.'
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi
cine I have ever handled in my 20 years'
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou
sands of others have added their testi
mony, so that the verdict is unanimous
that "Electric Bitters do cure diseases of
the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a
