Ross gives notice concern ing the price of board. The Oregon is due this morning with 128 cabin passengers on board. Bozorth & Johns are in the real estate business anl advertise the fact. -Kobt. district No. meeting. Hamilton, clerk 9, gives notice of school school The Shubrick went to Tillamook yesterday to put down buoys in the bay, and returned. A post of G. A: R. and another lodce of K. of P., are araon tho probabilities in the matter of Astoria societies. Tho coal bunker on the O. R. & N. Co.'s dock is finished; the NValla Walla which came down yesterday afternoon will dischargo 300 tons of coal to-day and then proceed out. Tho steamer Idaho came down yesterday loaded to the guards. Sho put off a little, took on some lumber at Kinney's dock for tho Cape Fox canning company, southern Alaska, and started north. It is rumored that the Chehalis Videttc has suspended. Wo sincerely hope not. It is a first rate newspaper and is doing good work for the locality where it is printed. Stick to it boys; success eventually awaits you. In the police court yesterday, one party who had been drunk, was fined $2 ; another for being disorderly fined $20; another for resisting Judge Winton at the time of his arrest was fined 10; a fourth for committal of an indecent act was fined 100. C. A. Reed, of Pacific county is in the city. He says the report con cerning sruall pox in that county is incorrect. It was feared last week that it had broken out on the Willipa, but happily tho statomen; was groundless. There is a resident here wIioeb wife has presented him with nine boys aud he wants to know if the government doesn't give a medal for such prais worthy action. He says that in his country a woman that has nine sons gets a medal from tho government. Sho certainly deserves it. L. A. Loomis, president of the Shoalwater Bay Transportation com pany is in the city. He has been up through tho Chehalis country and says that times are lively over there and that land is in demand. Wo are glad to to hoar that our neighbors to the north are sharing in tho common prosperity. The A. B. Field, Messrs. Leinen weber & Brown's new steamer, started yesterday morning on her initial trip to Tillamook. Sho crossed out at nine o'clock with a full freight and passenger list. This is the beginning of another line of coastwise steamers that will bring Astoria the trade of a valuable country, and thus be of mutual benefit to all. Cruise of the Corwin. The rovenue cutter Coricin, Capt. ficaly commander, is now in San iFrancisco fitting up ior a long voyage to the frozen north. It is the inten tion to start about May 1st, and steer for the northeast Siberian coast, where the Indians who assisted the crew of the Rogers are to bo rewarded by sundry presents. From thero the vessel proceeds to Attoo, in the east ern hemisphere, the farthest east or west of tho American possessions, and any stray whaler in need of relief or sealing vessel driven off by stress of weather, will be succored. The trip will last fivo months. Oregon Short Line. According to the Salt Lake Tribune of March 15th the Oregon Short Line is shipping great numbers of men and teams to the front, to work on the grade, haul ties, lay track, etc. The company aro in earnest about com pleting the road this season to the Oregon line, and forming a connec tion with tho Oregon Navigation and Railway company's line, thus giving them a through route to tho Pacific Materials for the road are fully pro vided for, we understand, and much of the grade west of Shoshone has been completed. Graders are stationed along the line tor a distance ot over 100 miles, over part of which work progressed all last winter. The com pany expect to put through trains on the road from Granger west within the next two or three weeks. At present the Montana and Idaho travel passes through Ogden instead of diverting from the Union Pacific at Granger, as will be the case when the road is once fully open to passengsr travel.

Every thing you need you avill find there at lowest prices. Items Local and Otherwise. One of the most important elements of success among tho many necessary ingredients that go to make up a well regulated print shop, is a local re porter; a personago whose business it is to present in truthful English an unbiased, impartial account of every day transactions in the city. His methods of getting news are very plain and devoid of all mystery. They aro in accordance with the good old way that has descended to us from time immemorial, and consist simply of looking around, "taking notice," asking questions and listening to the answers. This matter of uews is purely a relative one. To some it is news that a hod carrier tumbled down and broke his pipe in New York, yesterday, or that a bank cashier was caught playing faro in Chicago; to others it is news to know what is going on nearer home; the simple sending of a lot of truck over a tele graph wire and making a paper a sort of waste basket for everything however trival to be dumped into it, doesn't make news of tho contents. It simply brings the gentle or ferocious roader into a breakfast contact with all man ner of horrors aud lends unhealthy condiment to his morning meal. The events of hu own immediate neigh borhood, what was done in town, and what is going to be done, the actions and transactions ot those whom ho daily meets, these constitute that of which the local reporter doth dis course, and happy is it for him if ho possesses discretion to keep from vio lating privste life or wounding pro priety by sacrificing that sanctity of personality which every one holds dear. Some people seem to think that the fact of seeing a statement in a newspaper is sufficient evidence that it is so; "it must bo so, for I saw it in the paper." Others .take the very op posite ground, and think that tho fact of seeing a statement in a public journal furnishes prima facie grounds for disbelief. The truth, the golden mean, lies between. It is to the di rect interest of a newspaper to tell the truth, simply as a matter of business policy if through no higher motive; and any one who supposes that every little yarn aud rumor is caught up and put in type is several de grees from the facts. Every statement made in a newspaper, if avowedly given as news, is in ninety nine cases out of a hundred, carefully verified and confirmed beforo publica tion. From the. time the news first comes to the ear of the local editor it undergoes h greater crucial test before being "written up" than any it can possibly bo given by the mo3t critical reader. Let him be told that such a man caught so many salmon, the night before, tho first thing is (though to many it would seem trivial) to see the man himself; if this is not practicable to get the story told him by some one else and see how the two agree. Should a third confirm tho tale with out previous understanding, it is strong presumption, that the state ment will be written up from that. Wo have personally known of cases where the reporter inlervied seven different individuals relative to an oc currence and got seven versions of tho affair and each one wa3 sure that he was right. All this is, of course trouble, but it pays tho careful colla tor of news in as much as his state ments if conscientiously written are rarely contradicted. Of course there are those who find fault and say "it isn't so; I know different,'" but that is their prerogative. They'd grumble if it rained or blow, ur was hot, or was cold, or neither, or both. Tho point wo wish to make is that it is manifest ly to tho interest of the reporter to get a thing right, to have a correct version of whatever it is ho is trying to tell and it might sometimes be just as well for those who live in large cities to give him credit for a certain amount of good intent in that regard. It is surprising how one may be mis taken, and yet bo positivo that ho is right. Three years ago wo were walking down the main street of a pleasant California town with two other men, all being newspaper repor ters, when tho sound of fire-arms was heard, and on turning the corner we found a man prostrate and saw his as sailant skipping nimbly toward refuge. One of us said he heard only one shot, a moment before, another knew posi tively that he had heard two, while the other was as certain as a man could bo that he heard three. Hero were three persons supposedly of av erage intelligence, who had they been placed on the witness stand would have sworn each contrary to what tho others did, and about something that they were almost eye witnesses of. It illustrates what may bo styled "tho personal equation," and exemplifies that everyone oven a critic is liable once (or maybe twice) in his life to bo mistaken. ".VOW WELL AM STKOSi."
