ASTORIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY.
. JANUARY 23. 1893
City an Ceimly UfBcial Paper.
THE USUAL THING.
The Eugene Register indulges in
some illnatuxed strictures on the re
cent little lutcli in financial matters
on the Astoria and South Coast road.
The Register should know, as any
one ivith the slightest experience or
observation knows, that such episodes
are of certain occurrence in the history
of tho building of every road. They
constitute an incident of construction;
a casual happening: an inevitable and
attendant occasion, and are as much a
part of the building of a railroad as
the purchase of material, or the secur
ing of the right of way. It is the
history of every railroad that ever was
built, that at some period in its con
struction there was a financial strin
gency of temporary duration. The
history of railroad building bears out
this statement
No railroad however heavy its finan
cial backing, has had its affairs run
smoothly and uninterruptedly from the
beginning to the end, and any little
hitch in financial measures in any
road is to be treated only as an inci
dent, the same as the delay in the
arrival of material or the unexpected
hardness of the ground in a section
of the road, or the missending of a
dozen shovels, or the oversize of bridge
timbers, or anything else in or about
the multifarious incidents connected
with the building of a railroad.
.1 LOSING FIGHT.
Fkaxk WitiKESox, writing to the
New York Times from Tacoma, under
the date of December 15, says:
They who have so gallantly fought
against nature in the arid belt are
ready to let in thousands of cases, jis
tho mortgage negotiating companies
well known. They have at least xed
"ized that in these days of fierce, com
Ictitivc agricultural warfare, when our
civilization and methods of agricul
ture are pitied against those of pemi
civilized Europe and serai-barbarous
India a region in which the average
crop loss ranges from 25 to 40
per cent, cannot survive. These men
cannot remain in tho arid belt
as agriculturists, nor can tho thou
sands of young men that annually mi
grate from the great breeding ground
m tho Mississippi valley enter the
arid belt with any chance of being
successful in their attempt to create
homesteads. That land must be irri
gated before it can support agricult
urist The time has arrived when the
desert must be crossed to find pro
ductive laud. In Kansas, in Nebras
ka, and in both Dakotas, the line of
westerly settlement has arrived at the
grassy desert on which remunerative
agriculture cannot be established. The
arid region is fringed with the blasted
hopes of thousands of disappointed
people, and their eyes are turned west
ward to the Pacific coast.
Those energetic men who arc wag
ing a war with the Almighty in an
attempt to controvert his decrees,
would do well to come to western Or
egon, where no aridity exists: where
the skies smile tears of gladness:
where biting cold is unknown, where
the earth need3 but to bo tickled with
a hoe to laugh -with a harvest In the
arid belt those men are making a los
ing fight By coming hero they can
win.
SrEoxii agent, Geo. B. Tingle, says
that if the seal fisheries are to be pre
served they must be handled entirely
by a monopoly. Mr. Tingle doubts
the wisdom of tho treasury to cut
down the first year's catch to 00,000
seals, and says that it is doubtful if
any firm which knows anything or
the business will bid for the contract
on tkoe terms. He maintains that it
the contract is let, the government
must give the company full protection,
considering Behring as a closed sea,
or there -would be no money in it Al
ready poachers, by taking seals in the
oien ski, are driving them through
the straits to the Bussian coast and
nre gradually depriving St George's
and St Paul's islands of herds which
formerly belonged there.
That was a graceful action on the
part of tho San Francisco chamber
of commerce last Tuesday. They con
curred in the memorial from our
chamber of commerce urging an in
creased appropriation for the improve
ment at the mouth of the Columbia
aad forwarded a copy of the memorial
with their affirmative resolution, io
the California congressional delgaliou,
requesting that they use their influ
eace in furtherance of the measure.
Such co-ojwation is appreciated and
gratefully acknowledged.
The two Dakotas are in a perplex
iag situation with regard to the tem
perance problem. They have prohib
itory constitutional provisions, but no
laws to enforce them. That is to say,
tie saloons have no right to exist, and
yet tlicrc is no way by which they can
be legally suppressed or regulated.
The dilemma is a peculiar one, and it
remains to be seen what will bo done
alxmt it
There is but one solution to the
problem confronting the canncrs and
Saber-son on the Columbia river this
seaeoa, and that is a reduction of fifty
per cent in the number of boats on
tkfe river. Such action will result in
lens cost to the canners and more
earaiags pro rata to the men engaged
ia fishing with gill nets.
The real estate transactions of Chi
oajjo last year wero unprecedented in
vehuae. Pronertv of the value of
$r.90G,757 changed hands. The
fcigh oat aggregate ever before recorded
was 178,427,931 in 1873, when the ac
ttrky wae extraordinary, and a conse-
i of the great fire of 187L
rafliGrotjUMi, TUlamook Head

I NMtk: If a newspaper man has
an idea that ho must please every
body, he will soon abandon it, or find
that he is pleasing nobody." -
Ax extravagant dentist advertises in
a "Washington newspaper that he will
give 500 for a sound front tooth of a
healthy young white man the tooth
to be transplanted into tho jaws of a
rich patient
The Hast Oregonian thinks eastern
Oregon ought to have an insane asy
lum. There are a. c-oml mnnv sheen-
herders in that section as observed by
John P. Irish, of the Alto.
Washington Potatoes.
In response to an offer of a prize of
$100 made by the great seed house of
Maul &-Co., Philadelphia, Pa., Mr.
Thomas Morse, a farmer, residing at
Kockford, Spokane county, forwarded
four potatoes weighing from two and
one-half to three ponnds each. On
Friday, just two months from the time
of sending them, Mr. Morse was made
happy by receiving a draft from Maul
& Co. for $100, together with a letter
congratulating him and stating that
his potatoes would, in all probability,
never be excelled. Un ioiu
If Thomas Foss, of Gray's Biver, or
others in that vicinity had sent a few
of those 34 pound potatoes, Wahkia
kum county would doubtless have car
ried off the S100 prize.
Chinatown Jlolested.
Yesterday afternoon Chinatown was
all agog. A group of young fellows
were passing along Second street, in
front of Hong & Yik's store. One of
them threw a snow ball at a pagan,
which missed him and broke a largo
round hole in the store wiudow. Like
hornets out of a nest, all Chinatown
came living from their honscs and
stores. The sidewalks were jammed
and the police whistle was sounded.
But before Chief Barn arrived, the
guilty man was safely ensconced in a
neighboring saloon. At last reports
every Chinaman was jabbering in an
grj' tones and hoping that the culprit
might be arrested.
Gambling Chinaium.
Yesterday eighteen Chinamen were
arrested for gambling during Tues
day night The sheriff and deputy
made an effectual raid bagging a big
crowd of pagan sinners. The lawyer
for the defense begged to have tho
trial on Friday. Their names are See
You, "Wong Boy, Clio Yu, Ho Yeng,
Wong Hing, Wong Hui, Jong Mi, Ju
Hi, Ho Huu. Yong Bock, Sun Chec,
Moe Sing, Wong F, All Turk, Ah
Sing, Ah Sheet, Ah Chee.
A great drawback to the upper
Nestucca country, is the disagree
able road and river crossings. Sum
mer travel is much more pleasant.
Then the ranches How with milk and
honey, corn, tomatoes, bif$ onions
and cabbage heads; in tho way of
wild fruits, Nestucca is unsurpassed.
In season, blackberries are plentiful
and of delicious llavor, also cherries,
bear and pheasant The cherries are
rather bitter, but bear and pheasants
are juicy and well flavored. Just now
snow covers all.
AQTJAKEIVS DOZEN.
' nichar Etcge, the well known proprietor of
UicQuaier Dairy, No. SO Ellis St., an Fran
elsco, last week sent tho I ollowing letter to
tho Tdwia 17. Joy Co. "ITy family have
