Merit Wins.

We desire to say to our citizens that
for years we have been selling DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, DR..
Kings New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica
Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never
handled remedies that sell as we'll, or that
have given such universal satisfaction.
We do not hesitate to guarantee them
every time, and we stand ready to refund
the purchase price, if satisfactory results
do not follow their use, These remedies
have won their great popularity purely on
their merits. Morley Bros, druggists.

COMMUNICATED.
An Unauthorized Occupancy of
East Fifth Street.

HdSI 1lIu OIIOOC'
To the Editor of the Statesman.
The fencing of the extension of East
Sixth street has forced the travel from
the same between the fences and the track
of the Houston and Texas Central and
Austin and Northwestern railroad on Fifth
street
Nearly daily accidents are reporte d,
caused by horses being frightened at the
approach of trains, which, at this point,
rua at a considerably higher speed than
within the limits of the city.
| Country teams are not accustomed to
railroads, and a train steamipg up in front
of them and coming towards them will
brighten the horses to madness and rem
der them manageable
! 1t has been observed that vehicles were
abandoned by the driver, and the animals,
in their wild career, run over any object
coming in their course; others fall back
on the vehicles. The fence on the south
and the tracks of the railroad on the north
side prevented them turning around, and
numerous injuries caused thereby are re-
corded.
There is not person who, when once
caught by train when driving a wagon
at this junction, will not shun this road
forever, and rather make a long round
about to reach the city.
East Fifth street, beyond the city
limits, is a state road, laid out by the re-
public of Texas.
The Houston and Texas Central Rail-
road company can show no authority by
which they have right to occupy this
road, and if they do not remove at once
road No. 162-the extension of East Sixth
street-they should be compelled to re
move their tracks from the extension of
East Fifth street, so that the population
of the city and the eastern portion of
Travis and the adjoining counties will
have at least one convenient entrance and
outlet to the city of Austin, and without
such imminent danger to man and beast.

TRANSACTIONS IN SALMON.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-The cir
culars from the Johnson-Locke Mer-
camille company, of February Is, re-
port heavy transactions in the
salmon pack of the coast for 1889.
The movement began in British Co.
lumbia with the sale of $4,000 cases,
followed by other sales, amounting
in all to 10000 cases, Of which $4,000
cases are for the English account,
and $1,000 cases for San Francisco
buyers on the English and Australian
account.
Operations were then commenced
on the future pack of the Columbia
river, resulting in sales of 100000
cases.
Alaska salmon then received atten-
ton.
The Johnson-Locke Mercantile
company reports sales last week OF
5000 cases of Alaska salmon of the
pack of 1889; other local brokers,
10000 cases, and the Chicago oper.
ators, for eastern account, $1,000.
The sales for the pack of 1899 up to
February Is, are reported at 553,OOO
cases, or about one-half Of the antici-
pated catch. It is estimated that
other negotiations have been closed
The preparations for the Alaska can
neries are the most extensive YET
known and it is hoped that there will
be no disappointment in these enter.
prises, though grave fears are freely
expressed.

Another Railroad Scheme.

A great many people speak loudly
against railroads as monopolies, and
in many instances it is only too true.
Yet just at this time, in the language
of Hon. Nat Langel of Jacksonville,
concerning Ben Holidays railroad,
he said "give US q big slice of the
monopoly to Jackson county, rather
than the stage monopoly of fifteen
cents per mile and passenger walks
half the way and carries rail to keep
the stage out of the mudholes." We
say give us a monopoly from here to
Coos bay and we will promise not to
"kick" much. Mr.. Pengra and others
with whom we have talked recently
have a proposition of this sort. Start
at Ogden. thence on the Central
Pacific route to Winnemucca, thence
IN more westerly direction to Coos
bay via of Roseburg or Drain, which
ever is the most accessible, thence
to Eugene City and by way OF Salem,
thence via Tillamook, and the final
point being Astoria. The gentlemen
who have this project under consider
alton are not impractical men. but
men who know what they are doing.
A part of this great coast system will
be built at an early day we believe.
From Coos bay, opposite Empire City
or Marshfield, to the Siuslaw and
thence to Eugene City will be built
before you imagine. We got a peep
under the curtain. The Eugene peo-
pie are neither dead nor asleep. Now
what is Roseburg going to do about
a road to connect with the same?
We had better look to our interests
somewhat it seems to US. From New
Orleans to Portland the great system
Of the S. P. was only built by piece
meal. Give US a railroad to Coos bay.

All, THERE!

SUBEDIToRIALLY, yesterdays OTeqo-
niGn says that Astoria is twenty-five
miles from the ocean.
Now that the legislature has ad-
iourned it is difficult to see why the
Oreqonidn should continue making
those statements.
As usual, in its assertions regarding
Astoria, that geographical statement
is at right angles to the truth.
Page 73, of an official work pub
lished by the government at Wash
ington, D. c., states the longitude OF
Astoria to be 1879 so; and that Of
Cape Hancock to be 124' 03'. That
is, 13 minutes farther west.
As sixty minutes make one degree
the 13 min. is thirteen-sixtieths Of q
degree. This would be thirteen nau-
teal miles.
But the OTegonian may cavil and
say it meant statute miles. All right,
A nautical mile is LIS statute miles,
SO the thirteen nautical miles would
be 1896 statute miles.
That is the distance of Astoria from
the ocean.
Had the OregoniGn given the fig
ures "25," in its assertion, it would
paw around and grow funny in Tues
days issue, and say that it was the
fault of the composltor; that '15" was
written, and the compositor made a
mistake and set it up '25." Rut the
number of miles is written out 'twen-
ty-fve," and so again the Oregonian
is convicted of willful perversion OF
facts and the utterance of a deliber-
ate untruth.
Why?
Probably it can't help it-when
writing about Astoria.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1889-02-24

TRUE to its instincts the legislature
in its closing hours, defeated one of
the most necessary and meritorious
bills of the session, speaker Smiths
bill providing for the construction of
aportage railway around the Cascades,
and between The Dalles and Cello.
This bill was the embodiment of the
work of the Columbia waterway con-
vention for the last two years, but
though confessedly necessary meas
ure it was defeated. It would free the
river from the grasp of the monopoly
that now controls it, and that would
never do. In this case of the people
VS.. the corporations, the Legislature
stood in for the latter.

 R. "W ould the south be satisfi- ed if the election of congressman were placed in federal control"
 c. 'It would be a good thing, but t would not cure the evil. The democratic party would still carry out its policy of false majoritics, ballot box stealing and inhmida- ton at the state elections. and as these take place before the congress slonal elections, our people are gen eraIly dlsheartened when the latter comes around.
 So sIahe Powell Clayton but a few days since, he, who, when gov- "rnor robbed the people of their franchise by whole counties ana districts, and whose militia insult ed the women, murdered democrats. and terrorized the whole country.
 And yet there are democratic pa- pcrs in the state that say "Go not revive the past" "Let the dead past bury its dead' i've must discuss living issues &c"
 We propose to discuss living ls- sues, and as long as Powell Clayton is living issue and talks thus of our people we will discuss him.
 It would be unmanly 10 do other wise-wlll democratic papers re- nam qute wben, he every day, in interviews, speeches and letters thus speaks ot our peoplc2
