CO ga Sottiw. ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY JANUARY 3 1830 CHyHl Guimyofljcir.l Paper. THE SHIP CHAKXEL UP TO PORT LAND. In noting the value ot the channel supposed to be obtained from Astoria to Portland, inquiry may justly be in vited to another feature besides depth, merely the narrowness of the channel secured by the dredges. There are in stances to be found-where vessels have grounded on the side of these chan nels. It is -worthy of note that a "wid th that Trill suffice in a ship canal, with the banks close at hand as guides, and with a reduced rate of speed, is totally unsafe in a wide river, whore the ves sels portion cannot be so closely de termined when at long distances from either shores, even if speed wero re duced at such places. If the vessels attempt to load with referrencc to the depth in the artificial unseen channels, they will find the whole dredging bus ices nothing better than a trap to get them fast on one of the underwater banks or such channels. The Orcgo nian urges the ship3 to load deeper than 1S feet for these channels of 20 feet The ship masters probably un derstand their business better and have better common sense than the parties who give them this advice. There seems to bo only one way to utilize these artificial waterways, which the Orcgonian has advertised with such a sound or trumpets. Increase the number of Orcgonian editors to a dozen or two; imbue each one with the consummate skill to do anything and everything under the heavenswhich the present editor possesses; and then tend one editor out with each ship, to show the master and pilot how to load and direct the vessel. If the artificial channels secured by dredging are not wide enough for safe ty for the present amount of shipping, what will they amount to in accom modating the immense shipping the northwest Pacific coast will have ten years hence? THE SORTHERX PACIFIC'S EF FORTS TO SUPPRESS OREGON. The Orcgonian attempts to ridicule The Astokiax's statements about parties in the east following and op posing Air. Reid. The Oregonian speaks of Tun Astoiiiax as "fright ened at its own shadow". If so there are been in Xcw York, during the past few years, numbers of wonder fully substantial shadows. Oregon is to-day minus a good many hundred miles of important railroad because of these nimble and substantial shad ows. The latest decision of the shad ows is that Oregon shall bo tributary to the Seund: that Oregon shall not have a seaport. The Oregoniaa maj not know just how solid iheso shadows arc: but the promiucnt bankers and business men of New York can testify to their avoirdupois as well as to their peculiar methods of business. The system of slander and misrepre sentation with which the enemies of Oregon have kept her in the back ground while building up the Sound, is probably without a parallel in the United States. "Whether Portland has now joined forces with the North em Pacific in the present instance, the Orcgonian questiens: but from whatever direction the shadows are cast in this case, Oregon has good rea son to guard herself against them, if she intends to reach the position in this land to which she is entitled. These efforts in Now York adverse to the stale are not so shadowy as the Orcgonian appears to regard them. ESTERX newspapers are full of fiannng accounts of how Stanlej- found Emi Pasha, in Africa. Stanley is working this thing for all it is worth and it is worth a good deal to Stan ley. But it's no sure thing that Emin Pasha wanted to be discovered. He was all right. Ho was doing well, and, like enough, all he wanted was to be let alone, and here comes Stanley, and knocks him out of a job. Evidently Emm Pasha has some rights in this matter, which have not been con sidered. It is the opinion of the Walla Walla Union that to fail to speedily com plete the breakwater so as to make it possible for large, deep sea going ves sels to cross tho bar at the mouth of the Columbia, would b3 to work a great and enduring hardship on the Inland empire as well as on tho Wil lamette valley, and so believing it earnestly urges senators Squire and Allen and representatives Wilson to do all in their power to secure the needed appropriatous. That portion of the president's aessage bearing npon public improve ments in which ho deprecates the speeding of money upon rivers and harbors of little or no importance is beginning to have its effect, and will probably result in greater care on tho part of the house and senate com a&tees in making up the river and harbor bills if they desire to have the eiecalivc approval npon legislation t or works of real merit The turnkey of tho Peoria jail has a care for delirium tremens, says the Medical World. He rubs the patient "..Tith capsicum, and in tho enthusiam sod singleness of purpose with which tie latter scratches himself he has no te to think of snakes. One day of t& treatment is sufficient for any or daarycase.
