PORT OF COLUMBIA SCHEME cORED
# is Very Elegant Idea for Portlands
Calculation 7.
LET US REASON TOGETHER OVER IT
sPoken---What Have Gillian, Nor
row, ct. al, to saye

ASTORIA, Jan. 26.-[Speciali.-A specs
ial meeting of the city council has been
called TO consider bill introduced
into the senate on the l1th by Mr.. Will
lis. This bill is entitled. ''A bill to es-
t. blish and incorporate the Port of Col
umbia, and to provide for the improve
ment of the Columbia river in and adj
joining said port, and to provide rail-
way or canal and locks at and around
tumwater and the dalles in said Column
bia river"
Never was more barefaced attempt
made by representative of any place to
foist it into prominence at the expense
of other localities, than the real object
that lies under the surface of this bill.
The document proposes that eight coun-
ties of the state shall compose the ''Port
of Columbia They ale Clatsop, Col
umbia, Multnomah, Wasco, Sherman,
Gillian, Morrow and Umatilla Then,
each county may send to the corporation
one representative, barring Multnomah,
which is responsible for eight,-giving
that enterprising burgh a majority of
one vote over all the other counties put
together. The ''cabilistic figures eight
to seven.
The combination is given power in the
bill to issue bonds TO the amount of $3,-
900, ,000, and to state how and in what
localities any improvements in the river
shall be made; to tax all property bor-
dering on the river, if necessary; in
short, to have full and complete control,
SO far as can be granted by the state, of
the whole Columbia river, from The
Dalles to the ocean. And Portland, with
a majority voice in the corporation, will
have the whole waterway between two
of her fingers. 1t is an elegant idea
for Portland. The brazen effrontery of
the proposition is SO apparent that it is
wonder how its originators could have
been so lacking in their usual cunning
as to have sprung such a raw scheme on
| the assembly. The council formulated
and dispatch to our representatives in
Salem; an earnest protest against the
shameful scheme.

SEATTLE, Jan. 26.ISpecial.l-It is
now settled that the Farmers Alliance
of Eastern Washington will construct a
grain elevator at this port. 1t is looked
forward to by the farmers of the eastern
portion of the state as being one of the
most advantageous things to them in re-
aliZing the greatest price for their wheat.
The chamber of commerce appointed
a committee last night to make prepara-
tion in detail for the celebration which
will take place in this city over the com
pletion of the Great Northern railway
line TO salt water.
The G. B. & Q. Railway are nov in
vestigating the shore preparatory to
completing their line to the Pacific
coast, and have already secured terminal
facilities here.
Some new Developments have ap-
peared in the matter of the estate of H.
L. Yesler, it having been reported that
three half-breeds would appear in court
and claim a share of his estate. Mr..
Yesler was one of the earliest settlers OF
the state of Washington and one of the
wealthiest citizens of Seattle. A special
administrator has been appointed to
take charge OF his estate for the present.
The employees of the Oregon Improve
ment company have made strike for
higher wages, leaving the company in
rather a bad condition. 1t is thought,
however. that the strike, which is parti-
cipated in by nearly all employees will
be amicably adjusted.

AN orAL-oNrx QUARRY.
Discovery Made Near Pomeroy. is
Claimed TO be v Valuable.


Recently Mr.. ]. S. Thomas arrived
in Portland from Pomeroy, Wash,
having with him slab of opal
onyx six feet in length and weighing
about 400 pounds. The slab was taken
from quarry recently discovered near
that place, and he intends to have it
polished in Portland. The quarry is
situated about Is miles from Pomeroy.
Small pieces of the stuff have been pick
ed up in the neighborhood from time to
time during the past six years, but no
one had any idea of their value until
recently, when specimens were sent to
the Smithsonian Institution in Wash
ington, and several other nc; ed scientific
institutions. All opinions agreed. that
the stone is true opa'-onyx and the first
of the kind ever discovered on the con-
tinent. A number of well-known-
mineralogists and government experts
have visited the district, and all give it
as their opinion that the entire COUNT y
for some distance around is underlaid
with the onyx. The mineral was formed
by deposit in old lake bottoms during
one period of the earth's formation, and
is therefore found in horizontal layers.
In the present instance the material is
found in detached masses. of all colors
and sizes, along the foot of steep hill.
These pieces have been found scattered
along for distance of a mile, but thus
far no distinct ledge has been discovered.
The onyx admits of a very high polish
and is valued according to its color and
markings. 1t is very hard and brittle,
and must be cut and polished with
diamond dust, and by an experienced
hand. A very peculiar method must be
employed in mining the onyx. The size
of the piece wanted is first marked out !;
edges with a diamond pointed drill. In
these holes are driven little pieces of
wood, over which water is poured. The
expansion of the wood cracks the stone
and then it is easily detached. The
chunks are afterwards sawed into slabs
by means of copper saws, tempered with
paste made of diamond dust. Some
of the pieces are very finely marked, and
if properly cut and polished would make
beautiful settings for rings and breast
pins. The Pomeroy Opal-Onyx COM
pany have received requisition from
George P. Merrill, curator of geology in
the national museum of the Smith
sonian Institution, for specimens of
onyx. The company also flied an order
from the Union Pacific railroad company
at Omaha for 1G0 pounds of onyx. 1t
will be another great laurel added to the
already extensive list OF valuable stores
deposited in the Inland Empire, when
we shall ship American opal-onyx to
order

RAILROAD BUSINESS DURING 1892.
An Enormous Increase in Gross and Net
Earnings as COMPARED With 1891.

WASHINGTON CITY. Jan. 1.-The prelmi-
nary report on the income and expendi--
ture of railways tor the year ended
June 80. 1892, compiled by the
stat;stician OF the interstate COM
merce commission, will be- made public
soon. The gross earnings of 12S $40. 80
miles of railway is shown to have been
1851 Do, 159, from which the gross earnings
OF the entire railway system is estimated
to have been 1,222. III ,63S, an increase of
$125, 950, 303 over the earnings of the pre-
vious year. or an increase of $G0S
per mile. The operating expenses for
the year were $S14, 40 .0S2, an in
crease of $50, 1874, $50, which leaves an
increase in the net earnings of $43, 49,
ia or SAP per mile. The actual increase
in the revenue from the passenger service
was $3l ,500,03S, or S2.47 per mile, as
against an increase in the revenue from
the freight service of $91, SOC, 671, or So. 40
per mile of the line.
The railways which show the largest in
crease in gross earnings per mile are the
lines connecting the wheat growing terri
tory with the seaboard and IN the South
ern states bordering on the Gulf of Mex
leo. 1t is significant, however. that on
these railways the increase in operating
expenses was nearly equal to the increase
in gross receipts. The report shows
the aggregate gross earnings of
sixty-two roads to be $79i.47S. S31,
being an average income of $l2,8l4.I III.
The average gross revenue per mile for all
roads was So, $40 A classification of the
sixty-two roads in question shows that
e!gh receive each an income in excess of
$40 900 per mile, others between 7443 and
$4,000, while the income FOR each Of the
remainder is less than 81 443 per mile. The
density of passenger and freight traffic is
also given for each of the roads whose
gross revenue exceeds So .000, 900, from
which it appears that in some parts of the
country there has been healthy ex-
pansion of trade during the last two
years. while in other parts the increase in
traffic during 1892 does little more than
balance the loss of traffic in 1891.

LOST JEWELS FOUND.
Mrs. Charles Kittinger's Dia-
mOnds Recovered.
A CHECK ACTED AS A DEcoY,
Returned by . squak Rancher Who Was
Moved by Threats OF Prosecution
-He IL . Double Loser.

Detective John Roberts yesterday re-
covered 800 worth of diamonds that were
either stolen from or lost by Mrs. Charles
Il. Kittinger last fall.
On October Mrs. Kittinger went to
Columbia, and, in order to be sure not to
lose her diamonds, put them in little
purse, together with SO check
drawn by her husband, which she
carried in her dress pocket. When
she returned home. the purse and
diamonds were miss ing. Where she had
lost them she could not tell, and she was
also uncertain about any one having had
any opportunity topick her pocket The
case was given to the police and things
ran along eight weeks. until check for
$40 drawn on the bank at Everett and
signed by Charles H. Kittinger was pre-
scented at the Guarantee Loan and Trust
Company.
According to previous directions from
Mr.. kittinger the check was cashed and
the name of the man having it in posses
sion obtained. His name was August
Gil Gilman, and subsequent investigation
showed that he was a rancher living on
Squak slough. AS soon as the detective
had located him he communicated with
Mr.. kittinger. who told him to recover
the goods at all hazards. When Roberts
reached the old mans house few days
ago he commenced questioning him about
the check and received the same explana-
ton that he gave to D. n. Baxter. cashier
of the Guarantee Loan q Trust Company,
which was to the effect that he sold
IS worth of eggs to woman
at Gilman and took the check III
payment. The question of change he did
not attempt to explain. When he had
finished the detective simply laughed and
told him he was after those diamonds that
were in the purse with tie check. Gilch-
man knew nothing of the diamonds at first,
but when Roberts told him that criminal
charge hung over his head he began to think
and remembered that fellow named
Alex Helwig had found some diamonds a
long time ago, but where they were he did
not know. Roberts turned and walked
away, saying as he went that he
would give Gilchman until New
Years day to produce the diamonds.
Gilchman said he would see what he could
do about it, and yesterday morning Rob-
erts was on the lookout for his man. His
calculations did not fail, for he found him
at the corner yf Frant and Pike streets.
drunk as lord, but having the diamonds
in his possession.
Upon good authority it is learned that
the diamonds were deposited in saloon
safe and that it cost Gilchman about $500
to get them in his possession. The jewels
in question consist of three rings, one soli-
taire, one cluster in the form of a diamond
and one of three stones In line.
