ASTO JtlA, OKEGON:
THURSDAY
.-OCTOBER 27. 1887
Gov. SiviSEroRD, of Alaska, in his
annual report, estimates the territo
rial expenses for the past year at
8178,000. Against the foregoing total
there is an annual revenue to the
United States treasury from the seal
islands estimated at $318,000, and cus
toms receipts, sale of mining lauds
aud fines paid into the treasury, $22,
500, making a total net gain for the
year to the government through the
acquisition of Alaska of $142,000.
Senator Charles B. Farwell, of
Illinois, and his partners, his brother
and Abner Taylor, of Chicago, will
make from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000
in their Texas land speculation. It
is said that the state of Texas has
given to the Farwell company 3,000,
000 acres of the land in Texas. The
land to-day is worth $3 an acre, and
the state buildings will probably not
cost more than $1,000,000. The land
is all fenced in. Seventy-five thou
sand cattle are now on it and more are
to follow.
So it is ' that Christian soldier, "
Gen. O ! Oh ! ! Howard, who started
the attempt to remove the troops from
Fort Cauby. Senator Dolph seems to
be able to call a halt on this impor
tant matier. In place of abandoning
the post, its sphere of usefulness as
an artillery garrison should be in
creased. This should not be allowed
to go by default Senator Dolph can
be greatly aided in this regard by
proper representation of the .matter
duly made. Our Astoria chamber of
commerce can materially assist in this
matter.
The cost of building new barracks
at the Presidio for the accommodation
of the Fort Cauby batteries, says the
Oregon ian, would certainly be as
great as that of repairing the old quar
ters at Canby. Senator Dolph has
succeeded in staying the proceeding
for the present at least, and will
doubtless be able to defeat the recom
mendation of the division com
mander. His position as chairman of
the senate committee on fortifications
and coast defenpes is a most fortunate
one in this emergency, sinco it will
give special weight to his efforts.
There is some mystery attending
the failure of the government to re
lease the sealers in Alaska, which will
perhaps not be explained until con
gress shall call for the papers in the
case. Attorney-general Garland, in
reply to the question why the sealers
were not released on the order sent on
January 26th last, stated that it was
not known until long afterwards that
they were not released, and that in
formation to that effect first came to
the government from the British min
ister. The explanation furnished at
the attorney-general's office is that the
officers in Sitka claim that they believe
the order for their release was a hoax
and simply did not obey it But several
months elapsed before our govern
ment seems to have been informed
that the law officers in Alaska look
upon orders from the department of
justice in such . a humorous
way. The order of January
20th. was telegraphed to Port Town-
send and from there was sent by
steamer. It was sent in the usual
way. The second order for the re
lease was not sent until October 12th,
and it was sent in the same way. If
it reached Port Townsend in time for
the steamer it will be forwarded direct
to Sitka
RcinsiLs From Commissioner Thompson.
Slate fish commissioner E. P.
Thompson was in the city yesterday.
saj s the News of the 2Gth. He said:
"We are doing pretty well at the fish
natcuery on tbo Clackamas. Ave have
about 1,000,000 eggs in the hatchery
and are taking from 8,000 to 50,000 a
day. After the female saimon had
been relieved of their eggs, we marked
them by cutting off the back fin. But
we now shape the top Gn into a
letter U."
Speaking of the forthcoming ex
penditure of $10,000 appropriated by
congress for a fish hatchery in this
state, and the fact that both the gov
ernment and the state have selected
the same spot for the hatcheries, he
said: We do not want to com
bine with the government It is
not advisable. If we build the hatch
ery the government wi!l want to run
it, and vice versa. If the government
secures control it will want to dis
tribute our fish among other states.
which is not acceptable to us. The
best thing for the government to do
is to locate its hatchery on the Des
Chutes river, where there is a great
ueai oi saimon. we get the April
and July salmon in the Clackamas.
they get the May and June fish.
We think there ought to be two
hatcheries, beside the one built at
the Clackamas, the government one
at Des Uhute3 and one in Washinc-
ton territory at some point along the
uiiumuiu, say ai uas iroini.

HARBORS AND RIVERS.
A Board of Conservators to bo Asked For.
The conservation aud protection of
harbors in the United States is a sub
ject that will be permanently brought
before congress at the coming session.
For many years past the efforts of the
superintendents of the coast survey
have been directed towards the intro
duction of a bill for the pnrpose of
authorizing the appointment of a
board of commissioners whose pro
posed duties are to take charge of all
harbors and navigable waters. Such
a body exists in European countries,
and their province lies especially in
protecting the interests of shipping
at the sea and other ports against the
encroachments of private individuals
upon the water space that belongs to
the nation.
On the Pacific coast there are the
harbors of San Francisco, San Diego
and the Columbia river, and the net
work of havens on Puget sound. The
Atlantic side has many seaports lin
ing its 3,000 miles of coast, while on
the Pacific slope, with 3,300 miles of
sea-girt territory, the only harbors
are those before mentioned. Under
the present state of the law there is
no federal enactment to prevent un
scrupulous individuals from ex
tending pile3 and wharves into
the waters of the bays and
rivers foe their own personal benefit.
San Francisco has a state harbor
commission controlling its water
front, but outside of its jurisdiction
the supervisors of the counties bor
dering on the bay may grant any per
son a franchise to build wharves
without considering the detriment
that may ensue to the future condi
tion of the port. At San Diego pri
vate individuals have constructed
wharves in such a manner that within
a few years they will prove an obsta
cle to the navigation of the port.
The Columbia river is receiving the
attention of the war department en
gineers, and is gradually being im
proved, but the other harbors on the
Pacific coast are sadly neglected.
Unless congress gives power to
some controlling body to preveut en
croachments the result will be that
in a few years the condition of the
harbors will be such that to dredge
and maintain their efficiency will re
quire the expenditure of vast sums of
money.
It is understood that congressman
Morrow will push the matter at the
coming session of congress. 8. F.

now on my third bottle, and j11c to
oversee the work on my farm. It 5s the
finest medicine ever made."
Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio,
says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's

would have died of Lung Troubles. Was

A PROTEST FROJI SENATOR DOLPH
AsaitM the Removal From Fort Canity.
"Washington, Oct. 2o. Sen- or
Dolph, of Oregon, to-day filed a r
test in the war department ngnu.sl
the removal of the garrison from 1' irt
Canby, and interviewed secretary Ei
dicott on the subject.
He based his appeal upon the fact
that it the national government was
required to maintaiu its r.uthouty
anywhere iu Oregon or Washington
territory, it was at the mouth of the
Columbia river, where, during the
fishing season, there is a large Hunt
ing population, upon which the pres
ence of troops would hae a benefi
cial and moral effect.
The policy of the war department
to consolidate the troops at the inniu
military stations throughout the
country to save expense and give the
officers and men opportunities for
training that cannot bo obtained at
an isolated station like Fort Canby.
Secretary Endicolt has promised to
take senator Dolph's plea into consid
eration, and the determination of the
department will not be announced for
the present.
GEK. HOWARD'S VOTXG
Last Augmt Gen. Howard, rom
mauding the Division of the Pacific,
recommended the removal of troops
from Fort Canby to the Presidio at
San Francisco. The reasons givm
for this order were that the buildings
for the accomodation of troops at
Fort Canby were ont of repair; that
a large sum would be required to put
up new buildings or to reconstruct
the old ones, and that means of com
munication between the fort and As
toria were difficult and expensive.
On September 12 Gen. Sheridan ap
proved Gen. Howard's recommenda
tions, and on September 28 the acting
secretary of war approved the request
and asked that estimates be made to
provide additional barracks at the
Presidio of Son Francisco for the ac
commodation of the troops from Fort
Canby.
