The Progress Of the Jetty.

A visit to the government work now
going on at the jetty at the mouth of
the river shows good results.
There is large force of men EN-
ployed, everybody is busy and the
work is progressing satisfactorily.
Mr.. G. B. Hegardt, who has charge
Of the work, and Mr.. J. w. Stoneman,
superintendent, deserve mention for
the energetic manner they are pushing
the work ahead. Capts. Whitcomb
and Brown are now delivering $50
tons OF rock every day: another loco
motive will be down here Friday, when
there will be three employed on the
work.
Great piles of fascines, trains of
stone and busy gangs of workmen are
seen on every hand.
There are two large engines on the
wharf and the barges are rapidly I'M
loaded and the rock quickly run out
to the end of the jetty.
The track now extends two miles
ou: the intention is to push the jetty
mile and q quarter farther this sea.
son: it is going seaward at the rate of
80 feet a day.
The spit is shoaling Us they go: the
piles yesterday afternoon were driven
in sand that has only six feet of water
on it at low tide. The sand is filling
in south of the jetty and the channel
on the northward shows steady signs
OF permanent improvement.

sALEM TO THE SEA.
Resolutions by the Board, Etc, Etc.
ASTORIA, Or, May Is, 1889.

ASTORIA, Or, May is, 1889.
To the President and Members Of
the Board of Trade, Salem. Or:
CENTENNIAL the last regular
meeting of the board of directors of
the South Coast railway company held
on the 18th inst, it was resolved,
"That if the people along the line of
our proposed railroad between Sea
side and Salem would subscribe to
our capital stock to the amount of fif-
teen thousand dollars, this company
would proceed at once to put engineers
into the field and make q definite To-
cation upon the line, which appears to
be, upon examination, the most fea-
sible and direct between the points
mentioned; with the understanding
that every effort will be made to find
a satisfactory line, which shall pass
through McMinnville. The company
will agree that all Of the said amount
or SO much of it as may be necessary,
shall be used for the purpose of max
ing the survey and estimates upon the
line as indicated; and We hope if a
line favorable to your locality can be
found, to have material assistance
from your people in the way of taking
stock and securing rights of way pre-
paratory to an early completion of our
road from Astoria to the Willamette
valley"
am instructed to communicate
thus with your honorable body and
the city council of McMinnville, and
would suggest. if our plans meet with
your approval, that you cooperate in
procuring the necessary stock sub
scriptions. I would respectfully call
your careful attention to the fact
that this must not be considered as a
donation in any sense of the word, as
the amount subscribed will become
portion of our capital stock,
of which none is in the market for
less than par.
In conclusion I would state that al
meeting of our stockholders held on
the 18th inst, the capital stock of this
company was increased to $500,000
since which the chief engineer has
been instructed to purchase rails for
thirteen miles of road.
Yours very respectfully,
E. G. HOLDEN, Secretary.

The Railroad Commissioners.

The county judge and county COM
missioners made an important ap-
pointment yesterday and The AsToR-
IAN believes q very judicious one. The
act granting the Astoria and South
Coast railroad company the right to
build railroad bridge across Young's
bay, stipulates that three commissions
er's shall be appointed by the county
court of this county, who shall deter
mine the location of the bridge and
the width of the draw, with the pro-
viso that the draw shall not be less
than ITO feet in width.
The commissioners so appointed
are Mr.. w. H. Kennedy, chief engin-
eer of the o. r. & N. Co., Mr.. Emil
Adler, of the firm of Hoffman & Bates,
bridge builders, and Capt. J. w. Bah
bidge, of the steamer City of astoria,
each one being of experience and
ability.
The commission will shortly fill its
duties and will make report at the
next regular session of the court.

two miles out from shore, the present
end Of the ietty.
The wind blew fresh, the great
green waves rolled in foam on the
trestles on which the track is laid,
and soon the end of the jetty was
reached.
Under the guidance of Messrs. Heg-
ardt and Stoneman, several OF the
more adventurous of the party, among
whom were senators Dolph and Hoar,
went out to the extreme end, where a
gang of men were busy putting in
place a huge round stick to be driven
in the sand at the bottom Of the
waves that were dashing in and ont
below.
The hydraulic pipes were attached,
sail ready" and in the time it takes
to write this, the pile had been sent
down in the sand distance Of "a feet

mouth Of the Columbia" said senator
Dolph.

sea and over the sea as long as I live, y
said Judge Deady.
IF you could extend this road to
China I would take through ticket"
said Mrs. John NJ. Thurston, of Oma-
ha, Nebraska.
After full information given by Mr..
Hegardt, Mr.. Stoneman and residents
of Astoria, the party rode back to Fit
Stevens, and concluding that they
would not go to Fort Candy, utilized
q half an hour in a visit to the interior
of the fort.

After the banquet the distinguished
gentlemen took another turn around

of commerce rooms about nine o'clock
where large number Of citizens had

DIR. Abbott, of Trenton, is warm
admirer of the catfish, not so much
on account OF its culinary excellence
as because the females of the tribe are
good mothers. He has studied the
habits of the fish long and carefully,
and he knows this to be a fact. He
says that on one occasion he captured
an entire brood of little catfish in a
hand net, letting their mother, who
was swimming with them, escape.
She would not leave the spot where
she had been bereayed, and when the
doctor put the fry into a glass jar and
placed it IN the river where she could
see it she dashed herself furiously
against the obstacle that separated
her from her young ones. When the
jar was drawn slowly from the water
she followed it to the surface, and then
absolutely left the river and wriggled
twelve inches up the sloping. beach in
her frantic efforts TO recover her pro
geny.

The above communication merits
the careful consideration of the peo-
pie of Salem and all those who live
along the line of this proposed rail
road. Astoria is making efforts to get her
first twenty miles of road in operation
to get to the seaside, and she sho uld
meet with some substantial encourage
ment from this end now, when she
needs it most. Her people have sub
scribed some 100000 cash to the en-
terprise, and they deserve helpin their
enterprise. They are headed this way
and Salem, McMinnyille and the peo-
pie along the line could not do hand
somer thing now than to see that this
$15, 900 in stock is subscribed at once.

TEXAS LANDS.
Some Facts to be Taken Into Consideration
When Constructing Land LaET-The
Parties Who Are Interested.

FORT WORTH, TEX. Jan. Is. 1883.
To the Gazette.
There are many things to be considered
in constructing land law for Texas, if
there was not our smartest men would
not have been puzzling themselves over
it for so many years, and while some
good has resulted there has been great
waste of some of the states best lands
especially those given TO induce railroads
to be built, many of which would have
been built anyway, and others as soon as
needed. But the state has ceased to
cast its pearls before swine, - and HOW
its attention Is called to the disposition of
what is left. Let us see what they VIII
do.
The bulk of what now remains in the
states hands is the school, university and
asylum lands, called school land for
convenience.
In altering the laws concerning these
lands, there are three things of the most
Importance, and l might say equal I'M
portance to be considered These are the
schools, the state and the settler Their
interests are identical in many respects,
but in others they are not; so in order TO
do justice TO all. there must be partiality
shown TO none.

A TICKLISH AFFAIR.
Democrats Discuss the Method of Treat
ing the Tariff Bill.
Some Think it Should be Allowed to Slide
Through the House, While Others
Prefer Opposing It.


Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l9.-The senate
tariff bill will be sent to the house Tues
day neXtas per agreement. The impress
sion prevails in some quarters that the
house viii concur in the senate amend
ments rather than to have no tariff legis-
latlon this session. Then, too, the Re
publicans claim to have carried the last
election upon their tariff ideas,
and therefore many Democrats
think they should he allowed to
have the full responsibility of passing
their bill. Many of the senate Demo-
Gratis, however, think that the Demo-
Gratis in the house cannot afford to con-
cur in the senate bill, for they thus
divide the responsibility They contend
that the senate bill is more Objectionable
than the existing law, since it increases
the duties on nearly all articles in which
the poor are most interested, notably
copper, iron and wool. They argue that
when the bill goes to conference the
Democrats should stand firm despite the
threats of an extra session, and then if
no agreement can be reached the house
onus of responsibility will be thrown
upon the Republicans in the next con-
gress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. - The Ford COM
mittee on immigration in its report SAYS:
Generally speaking the class of immi-
grants who have lately been imported and
employed in the coal regions of this
country are not such, in the opinion of
the committee, aS would make desirable
residents of the United States. They do
not come with the intention of becoming
citizens, their whole purpose being
to accumulate by parsimonious
rigid and unhealthy economy a sum of
money and then return to their native
land. They live in miserable sheds like
beasts, the food they eat is so meagTe
Scant, unwholesome and revolving that il
would disgust an American WOrkingman,
and he would find it difficult to sustain
life on it Their habits are vicious, their
customs are distrusted, and the effect
of their presence upon our social
condition is to be deplored. They have
not Influences, as we understand them.
of home. They do not know what the
word means. In the opinion of the com
mittee no amount of effort would i'm
prove their morals or "Americanize'
this class of immigrants They have
been brought here in such numbers. and
have been employed at such low wages,
that it has resulted in their displacing
American citizens who formerly per-
formed this class of labor, until now
there are comparatively -Sfnericans
employed in mining coal.
I'm conclusion the committee saws.
Certainly the effect of the present I'M
restricted system of immigration as
applicable to the conditions under con-
slderation upon the industrial situation
of this country has been very bad, and
the committee believe the time has come
when immigration should be more
effectively regulated, that persons who
TO the United States should at
least he those who IN good faith desire to
become its citizens and are worthy to be
such -
