The Seaport of Oregon SiKim jf latp.-uve-meat and of Prolitfne by llif Adypn tacea U'hirli N&tm-e Hi'.i riaiwd Within it Gr.isn. From The Timea McunUiiner. There is no more Listoricnl spot in Oregon than Astoria. Xamod after Astor, who, in 1810, estab lished a trading stfition at this point, and brought into prominence by Washington Irving's celebrated work, "Astoria," it has been known to the reading public for many de-! cades. AVhen the Columbia river became known as the great com mercial highway of the west, this point at tl e mouth of the stream was considered of .the utmost im portance. It was the natural sea port of the new empire, and as such attracted the attention of the Hudson Bay and other commercial companies which were buttliug for the trade of this portion of the country. It is many years ago since we lauded at its wharf on an ocean steamer, aud first beheld Oregon, with all its promises of agricultural and mineral wealth. Situated as it is at the mouth of the great river, with anchorage for the fleets of an empire, we were assured of its future greatness, and have seeu no occasion to change this opinion. With the shipping of the Columbia river under the control of Portland capitalists, and no connection with the interior except by means of the Columbia river it is not at all surprising that Astoria has not developed her re sources or displayed enterprise commensurate with her advantages. But a new era has dawned for this, the seaport of Oregon, and we firm ly believe that in the next decade more advancment will be made than in all the years siuce the es tablishment of the place. The great factor of growth, the rail road, has been called into requisi tion, aud already real estate has advanced, and now life appears to be infused into the community. The terminus of the proposed road will be near Albany, and this will connect the rich Willamniette val ley with Astoria. It is not reason able to believe that, after railroad connection is made with the inte rior, producers will 6eud their grain by any tortuous route to sea board when they can ship direct. Further than this, in many in stances, large sea-going ships are forced to be loaded at Astoria by means of barges, and this plan will not be pursued when the iron horse brings the producers of Eastern, Western aud Southern Oregon in close communication with ocean traffic. It will be only a few years before this railroad will be completed, and then we ex pect to see a revolution iu trade centers in Oregon. Astoria has waited long and patiently for her rights to be acknowledged, aud the time is at hand when she will rise or fall by her own merits. There are very many evidences of thrift and enterprise iu Astoria, and the present era is one of sub stautial progress. New buildings have been erected in many places, and three live daily papers Asio riun, Pioneer and Transcript well supported by the business men, are infusing life and activity into all business industries. Those are the criteria by which the growth and prosperity of any city can be judged, and when newspa pers maintain a sickly existence, the city is doomed and the hand writing on the wall can be easily discerned. Another project that will help Astoria in her develop ment is an open river, and she has equal interest with the inland em pire in the construction of the locks at the Cascades. With ob structions to navigation in this great river removed, the wheat out put of the inland empire would seek tide-water at the wharves of this city. The citizens understand this, and are in sympathy with any movement which The Dalles may undertake to utilize the river as a channel of commerce. They are anxious to see all improvements in the river pushed to an early completion, knowing that they will eventually solve the freight problem iu their favor. Astoria is tneir v euice or uie northwest.. It is built m the river ou piling, aud docks can be con structed almost around the city. Travel is not done by vehicles, but by boats, aud these can be seeu on "the bay coursing in every direc tion. One runs to i t. Uanby, an other to the jetty and Ft. Stevens, still another to llwaco and bkipa non. Astoria needs no roads. The river is her highway, aud this will always be utilized for commerce and pleasure. Iu a few years we expect to see wharves along the whole shore line of the peninsula, where any deep-sea going vessel can load or unload her cargo. There is no doubt that the future ofcthis city by tho Bounding sea is bright, and her growth ami pros perity are almost uulimited. Her salmon exports now reach about $2,500,000 annually, and a brisk trade is carried on iu lumber to every part of the coast. The Cut ting Co. has a branch establishment here, and other industries may be expected as soon as the commercial facilities are fully developed. As toria now boasts of 7000 popula tion, but this will double iu the next two or three years, and t ho seaport of Oregon will be the sec ond city iu the state. OKKIION. From Mauy Sources.

A La Grande gambler claims to have beaten a Baker City faro game for $3000 and that during the fair week at Baker City $10,000 was transferred to La Grande by cards and racing. Governor Peuu'oyer is iu favor of the government building a canal ; and locks between The Dalles and' t'elilo, instead of a bo.it railroad. He thinks the railway would nut be adequate to the growing needs of our commerce, T. M. Farrier, deputy sheriff of Gilliam Co., passed through Salem on the 23d iusL on his way to Uma tilla county with th:vi prisoners who each gave name of Jno. Doe. The met) were arrested at McKen zie, Lane county, on a L'matilla county warrant, charging them with giaud larceny. Grand larceny iu this case means the stealing at Pilot I'ock last August of a small baud of horses which with others was driven over the t'nscades into the vailey. The stock has been located through the owners brand and will be recovered. Mr. Farri er will turn his captives over to the Umatilla county officers. Oregon Slalt'sman. J. W. Jennings, John Bingham and E. May, three young fellows wanted in Pendleton on warrants issued by the Pilot Itoek justice and sworn out by L. S. Kearney, charging them with horse-stealing, were captured at a lodging camp on the .McKeiizie river, a short distance above Eugene City. They were completely surrounded when the officers approached them, and while they feigned innocence, their captors are sure they have the right parties. J. M. Farris, who made the' arrest, stated that he had been -looking, for the men over thirty days, and that a num ber of wrong clues . were followed before they got on tho right track. Farris brought the men as far as Arlington, whore he was met by Sheriff llouser, who returned this morning with the prisoners. All three asserted ' their innocence of the charge, aud claim to be able to prove themselves guiltless before a court of justice. Sure it is that a gang of horse thieves Lave been operating ia tho Pilot lloek neigh borhood for- some time past. Whether or not th-xa are the right parties remains to be seen.- -Orc-(joniuii. A post of the Grand Army of the Republic has j-utt been muster ed at Lexington, this county. The new post starts out with fifteen members. The Budyet boasts that "Lex ington has a female engineer in the person of Miss Lavina Hope, aged 15, who manages her father's planing mill." A good place for a seoond engineer. The Oregon Statesman says, the indications are that the Oregon Pacific's extension into the bunch grass country will now be rapidiy pushed through to completion. It is reported that Mr. Louis Siebold of Washington City will occupy the position of editor upon the hew Republican daily at Pen dleton. He is said to be an expe rienced newspaper man, having beeu connected with several influ ential journals in California an the East, In an interview with a reporter of the Oretjonhm, Congressman Hermann, among other matters, is reported as saying: "As to the interior of the state, 1 saw in some sections the necessi ty for increased mail service and in other portions a demand for the extension of the public surveys to lands occupied by' bona lido setr tiers who cannot acquire title until this is done. Improvements are needed at the Umatilla Indian res ervation. There is a general de mand ou tho part of the people of Eastern Oregon, particularly those of Pendleton, for the sale of the surplus Indian lands which our delegation will use every effort to bring about at the earliest possible moment. In a council with a num ber of the Indian chiefs I found a general desire on their part for the allotment of the lauds in severalty to them as provided in the act of congress. 1 anr convinced from personal observation and from the assurance of the Indians that this is for their best interests and that after the allotments are made they would have greater inducement to improve and develop their lands, which the majority of thorn are not inclined to do now." Ia the estimates of th chief of engineers for the next fiscal year the Columbia river fares well. The estimates recommend $700, 000 for tho month of the river, $700,000 for the Cascades, and $200,000 for the Columbia river and lower .Yillamette. For Coos buy the sum recommended is $250, 000. The East Orajonian snys: Mr. Dinger Hermann is good timber for United Slates Senator not be cause he is a republican, but be cause he has made a good servant for the people as congressman aud deserves hi.'jh honors. Miij. Cornoyer intends to put in 1000 acres of land on the Umntilla reservation with seeds, for the good of tiie Indians, says the Walla Will in Journal. East Orciionitin says: A few days ai;o a young man representing himself as being in the employ of a fanner, living near town, hired a horse of tho McBride Eros, of Weston for 'the purpose, as he stilt ed, of riding to Athena. The boys learned in some manner that the fellow did not stop in that town, but had been si-en in the neighbor hood of Adams. This information coining to their ears the day suc ceeding bis departure with the herse, they followed him; but he had succeeded in disposing of the horse to Wm. Kribbs of Adams for thirty dollars, and had departed to the misty somewhere. Billy "stood him off' for the larger portion of the purchase money, and the thief now holds a promisory note against him which he will probably never present for payment. The Grand Ar:r.y of the Repub lic, department of Oregon, has issued circular letter No 5. It deals with the National encamp ment held at Milwaukee last sum mer and in speaking of the Oregon exhibit says: "This exhibit oc cupied D'OO square feet in the Grand In-lutri:il Exposition build in", and consic-'iPilof grains, grasses fruits aud oilier products of Oregon. Our exhibit was vL-ih d by "27,000 people during the week. The fol lowing were distributed by our delegation, free of charge, during the encampment: 1000 boxes of fruit. 30,000 small sacks of grain and 50,000 pamphlets descriptive of our state."

Thero are 303 patients in the insane asylum at sieilacoom. The appropriation of $75,000 made bv the legislature of 1887-8 has been exhausted, and the institution is going on tick. Women suffragists of Washing ton are on the hunt for scalps. A dispatch from Walla Walla to the Oretjonian snys: At the last elec tiou a n umber of ladies in the city offered their votes at the polls, the votes were accepted but deposited iu a separate box, and were not counted iu making up the returns aud the suit that was brought yes terday, by the ladies named, was for the purpose of establishing their rights even though the case is taken to the Uiftted 'States supreme court. They claim that a right once established cannot be destroyed. They set out iu the petition that they were, on last election day, legalized female citizens of the United States, also legal citizens, residents and tax payers, qualified electors of Wash ington territory, having resided iu the proper precincts the necessary time and entitled to vote; that on October 1, 1889, they did offer their legal ballot, according to law, which was accepted by d fo'idtiuts, or not counted or given effect in a canvass of the votes; that such refusal to count was without sufficient cause and done with intent to injure plaintiffs whereby they were de nied the right to properly vote at said election to their ignomy, dis grace and d, image in the sum of $0000. Three suits will be brought for each precinct iu the city. It seems that no attorney hero had sand enough to represent' the .plaintiffs, so the suits have been brought by Messrs. Savage and Dunign, of Olympia. KAIl.WAY IIOJiOsrol'K. AIHiineo of the Northwestern anil Union Pu. cifiu Manitoba lifiarhins Westward, Nbw Yoiik, Oct 24.
