v ,- r . & , THBSfPJ s - -- W She gatttf gstoyiatr. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18. 1850 City ami Count- Official Paper. Tun Spokane Jlcvicw thinks that it lakes considerable clicck for a Dem ocratic member o congress to rise from his seat and sayjuMr. Speaker, I am not here." The maddest woman in America is Mrs. Cowan, of Liberty, Mo. In Oc tober, 1SL she had twins, boys named them Blaine and Logan; in De cember, 1SS9, had twins again, boys named them Harrison and Morton, and now is a defeated applicant for postmistress at Liberty. Republics arc indeed uugrateraL A kewspatek man advertises in the East Oregon ian that a newspaper which cleared $2,000 in 38S9 can be bought for $1030; cheap enough. Talking about newspapers, "they say" that the Oregonian cleared $150,000 net profit last year. That is more than all the other 115 newspapers in Oregon cleared last year. Governor ITiiiii recently received a card bearing the name ''Thomas Jef ferson Hightbotham.' The governor studied the card for a second and his face wore a puzzled look. "Thomas Jefferson Hightbotham," he read slowly. A sudden smile, as if he had solved a hard problem, flitted across his features. "That's not a Democrat," he exclaimed; ''that's a mugwump; no Democrat has three names, and they don't use engraved cards. "Williams, I won't see him." Little annoyances annoy the little least In proportion as a man's work is of an elevated or refined nature, whether physical or mental, will so called petty annoyances lose to him their pettiness, and become to him serious interferences. A cloud of in sects will not interfere with the straightness of a plowman's furrow, but a single- insect may prove a .serious obstruction to an artist's progress in picturing the plowman's landscape. "What we ought to do, or refrain from doing in the presence of another, de pends not so much on our estimation of the intrinsic imiortaucc of the do ing, as upon the occupation and tem perament of him who is to be affected by it. Welu what do you think of the railroad meeting last Saturday nightr" was the question asked a good many times since. It cleared the air and did good. It gave a chance to "blow off:" meanwhile the road goes. The directors should, and doubtless do feel Haltered by the vote of confi dence implied in the almost unani mous desire evinced to leave every thing to them. The directors appre ciate the responsibility and feel that their hands are strengthened. Now, there should be no more cavil or chew ing. It has leen left to them, and let us all acquiesce in the result of their deliberations. What Astorians want is to sec the road built: results not ways or means, arc looked for. Lotteries should gain no foot hold in the new slates. Every effort to make a legislature grant them the right of existence should be stopped. There is something no enticing about this form of gambling that the xcry men who need their money the most, are the first to invest in these wild schemes. Millions of dollars, every year arc taken from thousands of peo ple, while only an insignificant few ever win prizes. The laboring man of the northwest has enough temptations to spend his hard earned cash, with out having other preventable snares thrown around him. It is hoped that if litis crowd of adventurers strike Montana and "Washington as well as Xoi 111 Dakota, they will meet with a hearty rebuff. The future of the railroad system in the northwest can hardly be told. It is certain that it is yet in its infancy "What will come, time alone can tell. Daring the next two years, Oregon and Washington will in all probability see such an extcntion of present lines, and construction of new ones as were witnessed in Kansas a few years ago. There arc so many projects on fool and so many towns clamoring for railroad connections, that much must result The mileage for these two stales is very small considering their area and rcsources,aud comparing them with eastern states. The fact thai we arc lacking is not due to any failure to appreciate our opportunities, but the condition simply arises from ours being a new country. There are no stales in the Union offering better re wards for railroad investments. Tirenn is a good deal of wisdom in tfee following chunk of practical ad vice fro.n the Indianapolis Heics; Cities arc built upon confidence had in esck other, and also upon tho united ef fort iu different directions by different aaea taking some stock in different en terprises. There is only ono way to boom tke business interests of any city, and tbat is for tho business men to tako an iatereet in sonio portion or branch of baasess -where thor do not havo tho con troUiag interest. The business man who does the most for tho city in which he lives is the man who has the most cou Sdaace in his fcllowmen. Thcro aro att&y enterprises which could bo thor eagkly established in Indianapolis at eace, if the capitalists and business men eC the city would tako a small financial Mtteresi in them by subscribing for some ef the stock necessary to operate tho dif ferent plants, Tfec second sentence iu the above oe&Uins rs much sense, experience d manifest truth as could be pot fo thirty-nine words. ITsat the editorial we" means do pseds cm who uses it When the ed- ter ot a great metropolitan journal Wawi it, jt is avery comprehensive tom, signifying "I antMhe rest of the boys." including the base ball re porter, the printers, the elevator boy, and the carriers, not to speak of the pressman, the advertising solicitor, and the circulating affidavit man. But when the editor of the Baccoon Hol low Weekly Expositor says, "We and our wife are entertaining our wife's mother for a few days," it be comes manifestly a more limited term, for it can hardly be supposed that the wife and mother-in-law are a part of the outfit of the entire printing estab lishment The broadest use of the term however is exemplified when the editor of the Bull Gap Vindicator writes: ''We aro suffering with hog cholera in our midst" Obviously this is an impersonal ''we." CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Indians are starving on government reservations in North Dakota. J. S. Harriman has wagered $3,000 that he will walk 3,000 miles in sixty five days at Wabash Indiana. Flood fc Fair, the San Francisco bonanza firm have sold their interest in the Nevada bank to a New York syndicate. Deep snow has again blockaded travel in the Sierra Nevadas, the snow falling -i inches per hour east of Trnckcc, Cal. E. J. Baldwin, of San Francisco, wants to supplant the Alaska Com mercial Co., in their lease of the Al aska seal fisheries. Graham, a mining town in the Silver Mountain district, where an English company h:is expended S500,000 in erecting mills and making develop ments, has been seriously damaged by a snowslide, which carried away a boarding house and a tramway a mile in length. Jerry Lcgrang, of Corvallis, went out in the timber last Saturday to cut wood. Failing to return in the even ing, search was begun, and next morn ing he was found dead, with a fright ful gash in the lop of his head, from which his brains were protruding. His ax lay beside him, and it is supposed that in chopping it struck an overhang ing limb with the above result The Spokane Mill company's ex tensive sawmill property and a part of their water power has virtually been sold to the Bank of England. The latter corporation has an option on the property until March 1st, but they have nearly closed negotiations. Two propositions have been made by the mill men, one to sell their mills and a portion of their power for $000,000, or the mills and all the waterpower for $1,250,000. The Bank of England people are undecided at present which proposition to lake up. CLEAR TOUR TACZ V. . It is now known that a plm ply stlu is not th result ol Mood disease, but is caused by impaired digestion, forwliich tlicy now give vegetable cor. rectives instead of minerals Two short testimonials aro giv en to contrast the action of the p tash Earsa parilla1? and Joy's Vcgctablo Sarsaparilla. Mrs. C. D. Stuart of 1221 Mission street, S. F., writes that cho took ono of the leading sarsa parillas for indigestion and dyspepsia. Its only effect was to cause pimples to appear on her face. Upon taking Joy's Vegetable- Sarsa parilla the first effect was the disappearance of the pimples and Bho was srubsequently re lieved of the Indigestion and dyspepsia. Jiobort Stexrart also writes from rcta.jma, CaL, that be ing troubled with lwlls he lonnd that one of tho leading carsaparillas actually increased tho eruptions, which respond ed at once to Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla and disappeared immediately loSi to Public Opinion. London, Feb. 10. A cabinet coun cil occupied four hours to-day in dis cussing what reply to make to Mr. Parnell on Monday. Parnell has asked what courscHhe government in tends to take. The meeting was not stormy, but was hopelessly divergent in opinion. W. II. Smith's sugges tion that Parnell be informed that the government would leave the judges' verdict to tho ratification ot public opinion was finally adopted. Wonderful Results often follow tho uso of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Severe cases of scrofula, upon which other prep arations havo been powerless, yield to tho peculiar curative powers of this medicine. Distressing cases of dyspepsia, excruciat ing complaints of the kidneys and liver, agonizing itch and pain of salt Results rheum, disagree able cases of catarrh, and aches and pains of rheumatism, are cured by Hood's Sar saparilla. It purifies the blood, and at the same time tones the stomach, creates an appetite, and gives strength to every func tion of the body. Give It a trial. General Debility "For four years my wife suffered with large tumor bunches on the glands under the arms, and general debility of the w hole system. She became so poor In health that we were on tho verge of despair regarding her recovery. Physicians did not seem to understand her case; at alt events she never derived any benefit Iron their treatment. She finally concluded U try Hood's Sarsaparilla. The immediate effect was so marked and satisfactory that she continued to tako it, and this Is tho result: She has gained in weight From 84 to III Pounds and is stronger and In better health than she has been for years. The bunches under her arms have diminished, and we believe Hood's Sarsaparilla will bo too much for them in time." J. J. Isoncnoss, 220 Conn mcrclal Street, Boston, Mass.
