f x .IJClWTy - 'ft) (rJZZ&g&L fie gatftj ?Wi, ASTOBIA. OBEGON: WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 23. 18S9. City and County Official Paper. CHRISTMAS. "Whetheb Jew or Gentile; Christian or agnostic; on one tiling we can all agree; that apart from its religious significance, this is a good holiday to celebrate. And the best way to cele brate it is to make as many people as possible feel good. That is all there is to it That is the lesson and object of the day. "Peace on earth; good will to men." Whether we go to church to-day or whethernve stay at home, it is fof us all to make it as pleasant and happy as possible for all around us, and in that lies the true observance of the day. Love and af fection is the keynote of the day's ob servance, and it is the practice of such love and affection that will make the day an interesting and pleasant one to each and all. . . FORCING THE DEEP SEA VESSELS UP TO PORTLAND. Pobtland has been making des perate efforts to hold fast to such shipping interests as she now holds; we can hardly call -them deep water snipping interests, even at the best. The dredges have now, it is claimed, secured about 19 ft depth of channel at low water. How long will such a channel remain at that depth or even near it? Take your finger and draw a groove in the sand of the sea shore. The next breaker will fill it completely and obliter ate it So one Hood in the Columbia, with its burden of sand, and the broad reaches of the Columbia" to give slack water, will nicely fill up and smooth over these efforts of man. Any one who has been much along the Columbia and noted it3 enormous deposits of sand, much of them car ried as far down as below St Helens, will appreciate how quickly it will de posit sand in flood time. Even a shad net stretched out at right angles to shore would start a deposit of sand and produce in time a sand spit The slack-3atercaused by the sand laden volume of the Columbia passing across the little ditch made in the bottom of the river by the dredges (and at most of the bars the tendency of the flood volume is somewhat across the low water channels) will quickly cause the sand to be deposited. Let us wait and see whether these artificial channels at their best not suited for deep draught vessels, will remain after next summer; or whether the lightering down to Astoria will not then be even greater than now. It is worthy of note also that the vessels sailing from Astoria since the Portland papers announced the completion of the dredging have still carried very heavy percentages of lightered cargoes. Captain Geobge B. Leavitt, of the whaling ship Spy, of the Pacific Steam Whaling company, brings the first news of what may possibly be the discovery of a hitherto unknown land, many miles directly north of Alaska. During a five years cruise just com pleted, one of the vessels of the whal ing fleet ventured many miles further north than any other. A few years ago officers discovered land which CDuldnotbe found on any of the oharts or accounted for in any way. A gale drove the steamer far north along the shore of the land, but the season was so late that the men did not stop to explore. The men hold it was an unknown land worthy of ex ploration at the proper season. No vessels have since been so far north. Leavitt thinks this may settle the question of an open polar sea and ice drifts south of Point Barlow. He sajs the ice must find an outlet at some other place. ApbactioaIi lumberman, who has explored the whole Northern region, is authority for the statement that the Canadian government has lost 3,000,000 in timber dues alone since 1882, through fires set out by Indians. He says 100,000,000, would not cover the amount of timber that has been destroyed by fire between Lake Dau phin and Lake Winnipeg. At Chattanooga, Tenn., a civil en gineer, named Newson, waved his handkerchief at his wife, and a young lady in a direct line with, the parties believed it an attempt at a flirtation, and informed her lover, Davis, when he picked up a rock and struck New son, giving him a fatal wound. The Canadian Pacific company has completed its telegraph line be tween Montreal and Canso, -where di rect commumication is made with the direct Atlantic cables of the Com mercial Cable company. All Pacific coast cablegrams "will now go by this route. At Montezuma, Iowa, the jury in the case of the state against Miss Flora Look, a young lady who shot and killed two men of a charivari party who were serenading her grand father, brought in a verdict of not guilty. . m The four rival cities for the world's fair New York, Washington, Chica go and St. Louis are, through rep presentative committees, to lay their claims for the honor before congress and let that body decide. The destitution in Dakota is not as is bad as has been reported. The as- sistance already rendered has relieved many. -Senator Stbwabt is active in his denunciation of the civil service sys tem. He says it is an irresponsible wgtsemce. mnpne. Specials to Tlie Astorian. Silcott ana His Dalcinea in Oanada Seporied Consolidation of Eailroads.

AN UNSETTLED QUESTION. San Francisco, Dec. 24 The ar rest of Frank Williams, charged with robbing the stages in north California, establishes it is said the innocence of Plutarch Lewis, the young man re tently taken in custody at Bedding, California on the same charge. Lewis said that he had seen Williams and registered with him at the same hotel after the robbery of the Boseburg and Empire City stage. The two men are remarkably alike iu appearance and a description of one might aptly apply to the other. Lewis was taken from Bedding, where he was arrested while getting a valise at the express office and afterward taken to San Fran cisco, who re he was held to await trial. malignant diptheria.
