A New Clock.

One of the most prominent features of
the landscape yesterday afternoon was
the foundation for a new clock in front
of Carl Adler's Crystal Palace, which was
being built under the superintendency of
the Holt Bros. The post, column, plinth,
pedestal, support, superstructure and
pediment of the aforesaid clock is built
of imitation sandstone, and will stand
near the northeast corner of Geneyieve
and Squemoqua streets. Upon this will
stand upright clock with 30-inch dial,
the dial with two hands to indicate the
hours of the day and darkness. When
night has spread its sable mantle over the
earth this dial will be illuminated by
means of an iron tube from the mains of
the Astoria Gaslight company, whose
Office is almost directly opposite The As
ToRIAN building, up 10 a point between
the figures MI and vi, there terminating
in a jet, which will be lit at an appropri-
ate time. The dial looking TO the east
will indicate the same precise time as Its
brother dial looking TO the west, and vice
versa. To those who are not within See
ing distance of this clock the hours of the
day and night will be tolled with cheer
full distinctness by 12-inch gong, whose
rectitude and regularity cannot be sue
cessfully cOntradicted.
The clock will be a valuable addition
TO that busy thoroughfare and of inesti-
mable convenience to the public.

Forty Tears Ago.

BY the IoIiteness of Judge Thomas Ii.
Smith We have been permitted to exam
inc the census of Oregon, taken by HIM
self in 1874, about forty years ago. Ore
gon at that time contained the present
state of Oregon, the territory of Wash
ingtOn, Idaho, and that part of Wyom-
ing and Montana west of the Rocky
Mountains. This great empire of terri
tory, six times larger than the state of
Pennsylvania, had then five counties
with population as follows: Clackamas.
males. 232, females. 129: Champoie. m,
400; f., sos; ClatsOp, M, 81, f., 30; Twa-
latian. m, 309, f.. 2s9: Yama Hill, m,
257. f.. 15S. Total population, m, 1.259,
f., S5l. OF this population about half
the females were squaws, the wives of the
trappers and hunters. The present popu-
latiOn of that section of the Union is
about 10000 people. The copy of Judge
Smiths census report is slip of weather
stained paper about five inches long.
Oregon was finally cut down to a corner
of this territorial quadrangle and ad-
mitted as a state in 1853. The territories
were organized later. 1t is a most re-
markable circumstance TO call to mind
the fact that one of our citizens, vet in
vigorous manhood, once enumerated all
the white inhabitants and the squaw
wives belonging to them, amounting to
about 1000 souls of all ages, while now
the people number about 10000, with
one state organization and four flourish
ing territories of large dimensions. 1t
would be a good idea for our Historical
Society to obtain with this report from
Judge Smith and put it with the latest
census reports of that vast region, en-
bracing several large quarto volumes.
History is being made most rapidly on
the western slope of the American Union.

AsToRIA. Dec. (. 1883.

ASTORIA. Dec. 4. 1883.
EDITOR AsToRIAN:
There seems. 10 be some agitation in
regard TO the forfeiture of the land grant.
Is the community aware that Mr.. Willard
has authorized Mr.. Koehler to negotiate
the construction of the road from Astoria
TO Forest Grove TO the extent of giving
the land grant and $4,000 bonds per mile
besides?
1t has been said that the road could be
built for the grant alone, but now when
it seems that the company would give
$4,000 per mile additional our citizens
prefer not TO encourage the proposition,
but desire TO take away the grant. This
action of the community in refusing to
consider Mr.. Wizards accession to their
proposition would seem to be an endorse
ment of his estimate of the cost of the
road. CITIZEN.

FRON MONTANA TO SWANSEA.
Copper Ore Crossing COlumbia's Gateway

The products of the field, the forest,
and the sea have long constituted the
exports foreign and domestic that have
gone across the Columbia bar in all their
varied abundance. For more than ten
years The AsToRIAS has chronicled the
shipments of lumber, wheat, salmon,
-four, fruit, and all the rich and varied
treasures that the far-off foreign folk
buy of us, and now 1t appears that the
mineral products of the great Northwest
are also to go out the silver gate. as Pix
ley styles the entrance to our noble river.
On the barge Wydtchie there arrived last
night 80 tons of ore from far-of Mon
tana. 1t is copper ore of a peculiarly re-
bellious character, and has resisted the
action of the most powerful furnaces
that the Montana Copper Company have
in their works at Butte. The intention
is to ship this copper ore on the George
ferred TO the hold of a Cardiff bound
steamer for Swansea. Wales, where the
largest and finest reduction works in the
world are situated. II is expected that
about 20 tons more viii go on this ship
ment, making 600 tons that 90 on the
George S. Homer as sn initial shipment.
Should the venture prove successful 1t
will be followed by other shipments.
There is n mountain of the ore at the
company's works, and they are enabled
to get such westward rates from the OR.
d p. Company as TO make il an object to
reach Astoria and deep water vessels, the
peculiar character of the freight making
ii also desirable for ballast.
