C2J 3IABRLKD. In Astoria, Nor. 21st, by Rev. S. Wood, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. W. B. Allen, of Portland, to Miss E. F. Wilson, of Astoria, ORDAN&BOZORTH ASTORIA, OREGON: to E 0 H E K A a 1 PKIDAY NOVEMBER. 23, 18S3 THE O. It. & X. CO. The annual report of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company shows the total expense account for the year to be about S3,000,000. The surplus profits lor the same, time are set down at a little less than $300,000. The year's receipts were $11,000,000; the years disbursements a little over $10,000,000. The assets 'are set at something over $23,000,000. The O. JL & N. Co.'s stock is the only one of the Yillard stocks that sells at par; it is the only one that is looked upon as a present paying in vestment. The history of the formation of the company is as interesting as anything of the kind in the record of financial operations, and is illustrative of Henry Yillard's genius for producing desired results. In 1879 the Oregon Steam Naviga tion company and tho Oregon Steam ship company occupied the same rela tion to the northwest coast that the O. E. & N. Go. now does. Yillard ob tained possession of the first-named company by buying from J. O. Ains- ivorth and others forty thousand of the fifty thousand shares of stock at a price which may be stated at two and a-quarter million dollars. Five years previous Mr. Yillard, who was at the time managing tho affairs ot the O. & O. railroad, had been given by tlie creditors of that, then insol vent corporation, a controlling inter est in the Oregon Steamship company in consideration of his relinquish ment of the interest that his peculiar genius had enabled him to gain in the railroad. So that the controlling interest in tho two companies had not cost "Mr. Yillard and friends a great deal of money. He then made up his famous combination, and organizing the Ore gon Bailway and Navigation com pany by consolidating the two old companies, he, in 1SS0, floated $12, 000.000 of slock and bonds of the new company. The stock went away above and beyond par: was consid orod a good buy, and it was not long till $j,009,000 more went on the mar ket and was promptly taken. Again an additional amount oi stock went out, until at the prest-al time it is calcu lated that there is afloat some $24)00 000 in stock and bonds of this corpo ration. Acccordmg to the report just made public this is a little less than one million dollars more than what the company's property is said to be worth, though as to the ques tiou ot value, it is thought by some that to duplicate the property ot the company would not require anything like that amount. A Washington special says that Congressman Payson of Illinois, at the coming session of Congress, will early introduce a bill to forfeit the Texas Pacific land grant The tele gram goes gn to declare fnrther that he will also ask Congress to forfeit the grant now claimed by the North orn Pacific in Oregon. Tho Shij: Island railroad in Mississippi has several million acres of valuable pine lands, hold by a forfeited land grant Proceedings against this road will also be pushed by Payson. Along the line of the Southern Pacific are numoor ot seiners wiio nave gone on to bnds granted to the Texas Pa cific, taking their chances of ever be iag turned- out. Yacation of lands by congress would help the settle ment and development of the court try. There will probably be a good deal of investigation of alleged rail way corruptions. It is charged that the Northern Pacific spent $200,000 or S300.000 hero last winter for the pnrpose of influencing a favorable re port upon extending theirland grant Developments of expenditures of $000,000 by Huntington to beat Thunnan's bill, .as were brought out in San Francisco courts, have attract ed such attention as to warrant a be lief that a general investigation will be ordered into the management and condition of Pacific roads. PoniiTorrr is one of the conditions of modern life, and it is assumed that fifis more a condition of American existence than that of any other peo pie. Long since a foreigner of dis tiuclion spoke of that "full glare of the American eye," in which lie seems ' to 'have thought everybody here had to live, whether liking it or hating it. But publicity is not an Americanism simply, and such it nevor has been; and it belongs to us, not because we live so much further to the west than most others of the people who are civilized, or pretend to be so, but in virtue of our humau ity Retirement is as easy a thing to have in America as it is elsewhere, by which we mean, not that it is a thing of course anywhere, but that it must be paid for, no matter in what land, .or under -what eky, the lover of silence and quiet and the avoid er of noise and bustle and confusion, may dwell. Every thing else being bought and solckwhy should not freedom from disturbance bring its just price in that market which we call the world? That price need not"be stated either in silver or in gold, in greenbacks or in brown bticks. Notice io Stockholders.
