The Astoria Deep Sea Fishing associa tion is the latest corporate formation. There's millions in it, and it is a business that can be carried on tho year round. "Wo question if there is a more orderly city in the United States of its size than Astoria. Everybody is hard at work, the yast majority engaged in making a liv ing and minding their own business. Sturgeon, salmon-trout and smelt are offere'd for sale at our markets; they art fine especially the salmon-trout. The salmon quinnat are holding primaries and caucussing away out to saa some where, and will hold their convention outside the bar in about three weeks' time. The seoond presentation of the can tata of Daniel at Occidental hall last evening was enjoyed by an appreciative audience who testified by their applnuuo the pleasure the rendition afforded them.

Estella, or Jenkins's courtship. Not Lost Bat Gone To Portland. - In this world of change there ere few things more affecting than the parting ot ties between those which have grown near and dear to us, and the feeling felt when we tear fronj our hearts all the clustering associations and tender memories thnt so fondly bind ns to some loved spot is one that will be readily remembered by many who tearfully read these line3. A feeling that resembles regret as the Oregon mist resembles the California rain filled the hearts of many yesterday when they be held the good ship Highland Light swing slowly out from her ancient moorings and move with tho flood tide eastward. She has gone to Portland, and the docks that Knew ner once win Know ner noj longer, Sho had been so long a fixture; not exactly "in our midst" but on our outskirts so to speak, that when her tapering masts no longer cast their sunset hadows along the shining shore yester day, many were the anxious inquiries as to whither she had gone. Since her pring and stern lines were fastened to Kinney's dock the varied products of land and sea have sailed across the harbor bar to feed the far off inhabitants of northern isles. The little birds have built nests in her stern post and raised their callow brood, whose untried pin ions at length grew strong enough to wing their aerial flight to other and drier climes. The mute little fish have rubbed their noses against her coppered sides and keel. The lordly salmon bare come in triumph and gone hence in cans, but the good ship hath abode. When, loaded to Plimsoll's mark, the wheat and salmon fleet bent their sails to the fresh ening breeze it is with joy not unmixed with satisfaction that we chronioled the commercial fact; but for a vessel to abide with us so long and then as the salmon in their far off haunts in the shoreless depths of the ocean had just stai ted for the annual sacrifice, for an American vessel to thus sail away in scornful emptiness for the placid waters of an in terior stream, is indeed a regretful episode. A Large Crowd Bat o Bidders. At lwo o'clock yesterday afternoon, the time set by Mr. Cole of St. Louis, to un load his elephant on somebody, all the newspaper men of the city, together with a number of other moneyed gentlemen, held a meeting in front of the News office for the ostensible purpose of ob serving the color of the gentleman's hair who .would be unlucky enough to fall into such a ruinous investment astj buy what is left of the News. The people thus con gregated were in a happy frame of mind, and regarded the transactions taking ol&ce within, before the doors were opened, with tho same interest they would a Punch and Judy show. Mr. Gregory, attorney for the proprietor, and young -Cole, were tho central figures, but this ib not an.intimation that either of these gentlemen represented the jolly old characters. As the time was fully come when tho struggle was to commence, some oiip aked for a starter. A boy at onco ran ovef to Paul Eichert's to get one a bung .tarter as he thought there was to ba a rowT Minutes seemed vears, and people grew impatient, especially when a gentle man of sunset hue was observed ap proaching with 10,000 (in his big mind.) It was well known that the paper had lost its franchise as well as its reputation, and no one was dispoBsd to bid more than $1,0J0, and Mr. Gregory spoiled the 'fvi by announcing that no bids would be received under $10,C0J. This oper ated. he same as a benediction, for tho Audience was immediately uismisssu. The fi3,lo was adjourned sine d:o.

STATE A5D TERRITORIAL NEWS. C. B. Bagley has sold the Olympia Courier to Dunham fc Roberta. The Oregon Short Line is nearly com pleted from Ogden to Boise City. Workmen recently engaged in digging a well in Seattle, ran into a lot or nr bark at a depth of eigatesn feet. Tne pieces alone remained, ttie tree which tuey encased having long ago mouldered into earth. The Nez Perce News, while admitting that at present all is doubt and uncer tainty as regards tho future extension of the Oregon Short Line, still cl.ngs to the nope that it will go down Snake r.ver to liewiston. Connection is expected to bo made next July between thj Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, as there are but about 110 miles remaining to be constructed be tween the prestnt termini of tne two roads. On the Baker City branch of the Ore. gon Short Line about 2,i00 men are en gaged, and the work is being prosecuted with all possible vigor. Trains are run ning to Weiser, Idaho, 517 miles west from Granger. Iho grade has already reached the Snake river crossing, and the roadbed is ready for the iron. The Pacilic Journal asserts that the bar at the entrance of Shoalwater bay is sadly in need of an adequate bu jy sys tem, and should be followed np over the entire bay. There is much dissat'sfac- tion among tug men and others who are compelled to go in and out frequently, with the manner in which the buoys are laid. The outsido buoy is three miles out of the way, and it would not be sur prising for a stranger coming in, follow ing the course of such buoy, to meet a similar fate as the Lamerlaw. A Sweetheart' Conundrum. "George dear," she remarked, after the old folks had gone to bed, "you promised to take me to hear the Astoria Musical Society sing Daniel last night, and you never came near the house."

"Do yon know why you remind me of a rainbow?" she then asked. "No, I do not," replied George, "Why do I?" "Because ypu are a beau of promise." JL'oMtpuixeri. The annual meeting of the Y. M. C.

Tho splnsh of a falling body from a ship in the stream yesterday afternoon excited more attention on board than on shore. The man who had missed his footing and dropped from the chains was quickly got on board, and many were the comments from the forecpstle concerning the ndvisabilitv or necessity of sailors be- ing uble to swim Qne old chap who had ail unuully large chunk of navy in his cfaoek Jn un3wer to an inquirTf Can sajloR, sw-m M a general thing? mid. 4.v 'aw. tliev p.in't. Not three sailors Qnl of 4eu knoW3 bow to swim. A iQ aUe tQ catch bo,d of a ropd,8 end with his eyebrow if need be for to stay aboard hn ves-l. His business ain't in the water, and if he get3 overboard in the middle of tho broad ocepn,.what good is his swimmin' a goin' to do him?" He might just as veil go down at once and be done with it." "Aat if Lo could keep himself up awhile he inigut be saved." "Well, the'd moat likely to chuck him something to float, if he was any use." A ciptaui who had formerly com manded tae ship C. II. Marshall said: 'l hardly think the old sailor's estimate of the proportion of the men of his calling who cannot swim is quite correct. Bat 1 am convinced that more than half of them cannot. Often they will pretend to be able to swim, when in reality they cannot, not at least to amount to any thing. I have lost a good many men at sea, and never saw but one saved yet by his swimming in rough weather, tt was in '59 or '60. I was bound out eastward from New ork in th" Isuac J5 ell. The wind b-iei'tl irtind coutrcjy, the sea was heay, we were under low canvas, and the ship was plunging a great deal. The mate sent a man out on tho bowsprit end to scenre the tack lashing of the iorotop mast st;:sail, and while he was thero the ship made a plunge, aud the man was washed overboard. Wo could not get a life buoy to him, but ho was a Kanaka, and he know how to swim, as all those Kanaka do, like a fish. 1 rounded the ship to, lowered a boat and picked him up. He had been half an hour in the water before he was resoued, but 1 brought him into the cabin, gave him a drink, and got him warm, and in three hours he w.is as W6ll as if notning had ever happened. That was tho only oase I remember now where I was enabled to save the life of a man overboard, and I certainly could not have saved him if he had not known how to swim. "Coming back from the Columbia two or three voyages ago I had a singular ex perience. 1 had aboard a darkey that 1 nad shipped in Portland. He had a big straw hat, and, going down through the tropics one day. just as he was near me he lost it overboard. I said to him, jok ingly, 'I wouldn't lose a good hat like that. Why don't you jump after it?' 1 hadn't tho faincst idea of meaning such a thing; but no sooner said, than dene: overboard the darkey went like a flash. He caught his hat, we hove to, throw him a bowline, and hoisted, him aboard grinning. But the sea was very calm, and we were hardly moving, it was nothing like the otaer case L spoke of. Eight or nine years ago, on one voyage 1 lost three men overboard m one gale of wind, and in the old times, when we used to carry tho singlo topsails, we lost a man on noarly every voyage. Those sails were so very heavy and big that they were hard to handle, particularly when the wind ballooned them out. if a man got up on tho yard to reef and tho sail hit him a sl.ip, overboard he would go, stunned and helpless. It doesn't make an' odds how good a swimmer n man is if he goes into the water stunned in a gale of wind. He is pretty certain to be drowned. Since the double topsail yards were substitutwlfor that old rig I have lost no more men in that way, and, in fact, have not lost a man for several years until about a year ago, when I had tho misfortune to lose my mate. The jibsheet knocked him overboard, and probably stunned him, We rounded to nd lowered a boat as quickly as possi ble. We could see his sou'wester in the water, and supposed his head was under it, but it wasn't when the boat get there, and though we saved the sou'wester, we never saw tho man again. "Sailors never seem to think of the fact that they cannot swim when ord ered on the most dangeious duty. They never object to going aloft when they can get there. Sometimes they oannot go. On tho last voyace I made from New York to Liverpool, off the Bank, we were caught in such a gale thnt the men were flattened out like spread eagles on the rigging, and literally could not climb aloft. Swimming would not have been much use to a man overboard in that sea. Still, I believe that not only every sailor, but every man should bo able to swim, as the knowledge might enable him to save his life when otherwise it would inevit ably be lost. Another captain, who years ago was master of a whaler, said: 'I can't swim, never could, and don't see that it is of any particular use to a sailor to know how to swim. I have been ovorboard in the ocean a hundred times I suppose, dozens of times anyway, and nover found myself in any danger of drowning yet through lack of knowing how to swim. Only a small minority of whalemen know how to swim, and I don't see why they should. It is true that in pursuit of u whale their boat may be crunched up by a sperm or mashed by the flipper of a right whale, or np3et; but oven then there ib no danger. There is always a bit of board, or an oar or some thing else that will float to lay hold of until the other boats can come to the res cue, and there are always plenty of other boats near at hand hi chasing a whale. Besides, there is a lookout kept on the vessel whilo the boats are out. and if there's any serious danger she comes right down to help. "We have everything in readiness all the time, and you might almost say that a whaleman wouldn't get a chance to be drowned, even if ho want ed to, except it might be in a gale; and in weather and sea that a boat could not ba lowered in, what show would a man have to save him self by swimming? Swimming is an accomplishment, not a ne cessity. The Kanakas are the best swim mers in the world. They all 8 .vim at the Sandwich Islands, men, women, babies, and all the live stock, I dare say. A good many German sailors can swim, es pecially those who have served in the army or navy, where all the men are re quired to learn to swim. Very few of them, however, go on board whahri. Not many American sailors know how to swim, not so many in proportion, I should say, as English and Frenoh." An 01a scnor wun wnom ine ropoixer got into conversation at the O. B. & N. dock, shook his head very gravely when the gist of the last spanker's remarks was repoated to him and said: "May be it's all so. Perhaps a voyage whaling is sifer than cruising on dry land. I don't say it ain't. Bet I don't want any cf tu .t sort ot safety m mine. 1 can 1 swim, never considered it would be any use tome to know how, and don't think so yet. If a man's going to bo drowned, win he's going to be drowned, even if be swims like a dolphin, and that's all there is about it. But I prefer my service on a vessel where it's on deck or in the rigging, where you've got something to hold on by, and not where most of it is in small boats. It isn't only the chance of drown ing, for of course, as the Captain said, you cm mDst always oitoh hold of somsthing that will keep you afloat. I've had to do it myself. Bat there's other chances. I never think of going whaling but what I remombsr a yarn tbaf a shipmate of mine told me once. He had bseu on a voyaga after sperm whales in southern seas. One fine day a whale knocked to pieces the boat he was in, and her nrew naturally all wentadiift. My shipmate and two oth er oaugat en to an oar, and kept tkea selves up by it easily; for you know it I on t iauo mucu to support a mans weight in the water, especially if be has sense enough to paddle a little'downward, under water, w.th one hand. The water was smooth, there were two other boats only a little ways off coming to their help, and they didn't feel that thev had any occasion to be scared of any danger. In fact, one of them was a-laughing, when all of a sudden he gave a most un earthly screech, threw up his hands, wild like, and darted down backward into the water. The others knew in a s c nd what was the matter. A shark had taken him. In a minuto or two more the sec ond man, just a-touching shoulders with my shipmate, threw up hi3 hand with a screech, and went down. A shark had got him, too; and the boat was so close that her crew saw it all, understood it, and were able, by beating the water with their oars, to scare away the other sharks that were literally swarming all about, until they could drag aboard mv ship mate. Ob, yes, whaling may be an awful safe business, but I don't want any of it, and it isn't a question of swimming, either. HOTEL ARRIVALS. OCCIDENT.
