ASTORIA. OREGON:
THURSDAY -XOVEMBEU 12. IStw
Tin; mugwumps tloa't see any
thing the coining Thanksgiving to
be thankfnl for.
At a recent meeting of Knights
of Labor, at Toronto, in speaking
of monopolies, one of the speakers
used the following illustration.
If a man owns a cow and takes
care of her, he is entitled to the
milk of the cow, but no man owns
one cow and milks three, unless he
takes the milk of some other man's
two cows. "When a corporation
waters its stock to three times the
amount of the original cost, then
the dividends shared by the incor
porators are the milk of three
cows, two ol which do not belong
to them.
Tiieki: are not far short of 1G0.
000 vessels engaged in Europe
and North America in fishing.
Between G00,000 and 700,000 men
are employed in this industry, and
the total annual product of fish is
1,500,000 tons. A ton of fish is
equal in weight to about twenty
eight sheep; and hence, if this es
timate is approximate! y correct, a
year's fish supph' for ten Euro
pean countries, included in this
estimate, and the United States
and Canada, might be represented
by '11.000,000 sheep.
1" Iceland the women have
votes as well as voices in church
affairs. The custom has existed
there for ages, and is kept up by
the Icelanders who have emi
grated. There are in Dakota,
Montana and Manitoba nearly a
dozen Icelandic congregations.
These recently met in convention
at Mountain, Dakota, and adopted
a synodic.il constitution. There
was considerable discussion, but
finally it .was carried by a two
thirds vote that the women con
tinue to enjov their ancient privi
lege. lr the measures proposed at the
coming English election prove
successful it is difficult to see how
the British monarchy can stand
secure. With a house of lords
shorn of its ancient functions, with
the present state religion disestab
lished, with an almost universal
franchise, with home rule granted
to Ireland, with the present land
system overturned in Scotland, it
would appear to a simple com
moner that the flag that for
a thousand vears has battled J
in the breeze may shortly
float above :i discordant and di
vided country.
Thin "alarming possibility of
war1' that has been daily tele
graphed from Europe for a year or
so is getting a little stale. Not a
day passes but we are told in flam
ing head lines that the dreadful fiat
has gone forth and the European
kings and kinglings are going to
fight sure. As Shakesneare hath it,
"Leave off your damnable faces
and begin.' On this nM- the At- j
lantic folks fight ur.li fas-1""- pre- i
paratory fus. This country
would like to sees iroJ European
row if for tin other ie:e'n than to
vindicate th. i.j.a: i;.n of En
glish ncaspspfr M.-i";i.i:jiIi-iits.
It is und-rtxd j-hat ih ' recent
declaration of forfeiture of alleged
O. & C. grant lands in Washington
territory xeleases from monopoly
grasp and restores to the public
domain some fine land in Cowlitz,
Washington and Pacific counties.
These lands lie along the Columbia
river, begining about five miles
from the bank of the river. They
were claimed on the same ground
that the Astoria land grant was
claimed, and when that was de
clared forfeited, the forfeiture
involved similar disposition of
that part of the shadowy title that
rested on the north side of our
noble river.
It was a current saying in San
Francisco, in connection with the
New York steamboats sent out
there, round Cape Horn in 1S49,
that the first two years after her
arrival, one boat, the Senator,
earned her weight in gold. She
made daily trips, and was crowded
with passengers at $25 a head.
Her receipts at times amounted to
$20,000 on a single run up to Sac
ramento. "When the Senator was
withdrawn from the Sacramento
river trade she was strengthened
and placed on the coast route be
tween San Francisco and San
Diego. She ran safely and suc
cessfully until 18S0, when she was
dismantled. Her engine was tak
en out and the old Senator was
rigged as a bark. She sailed for
Australia, and arrived safely.

The Astoria chamber of com
merce yesterday forwarded the follow
ing memorial for adoption by the
legislative assembly to state senator
P. O. Eeed.
"Whebeas the congress of the Unit
ed States has undertaken to improve
the bar at the month of the Cnlumbia
river; and
"Whereas, The appropriations made
to carry on the work have been
expended, causing a cessation of
operations until further appropria
tions are made; and
Whereas, Should the work stop,
even for a short time, owing to the
nature of, the current and action of
the prevailing winds and heavy seas
in the winter season, there is danger
that favorable rosnlts already secured
may be lost; and
Whereas, The work as far a3 ad
vanced, under the supervision of the
U.S. board of engineers, f ally demon
strates the feasibility of carrying
it to a successful completion; and
"Whereas, The growing commercial
importance of the Columbia river
trade is proven by Custom
house statistics which show that in
1834, 403 vessels crossed the bar for
foreign and domestic ports with
cargoes valued at $15,000,000, as
against G3 vessels with cargoes valued
at 34,181,352 in the year 1SS0; and
Whereas, Owing to the present
unimproved condition of the Colum
bia river bar, the tax per ton is nearly
$1.25 by reason of the imperfection
of the channel; therefore, bo it
Jtcioltetl, By the senate, the house
cencurring:
That our senators and representa
tives in congress are requested to use
all honorable means to secure at an
early day sufficient appropriations
from the general government for the
speedy completion of the well begun
work.
Jiesolced, That the government be
requested to forward a copy of the
foregoing resolutions to each of our
senators and representatives in
congress.
