Anew cannery is to bo built on Sboalwater bay near Long Island this season, wherein salmon, clams and oysters will be canned. The inten tion is to keep it rnnning the year round. From Knappa come reports of ac tivity in logging.

A Clean Sweep of the LATEST TELEGEAPHO MWS. along the water front. Deadhead An Honr's Stroll Through the Shippins. The Portland papers are waking up. The News is taking a splendid telegraphic service: yesterday's issue had nearly ten columns of dispatches; and the Oregonian, in addition to its usual fine report, is getting newsy specials from Astoria, Seattle, Albany, Salem, etc. Tiie Astoriax has been getting specials from Portland, Al bany, San Francisco, London, Paris, The Dalles, and elsewhere for over a year and congratulates its Portland contemporaries on their enterprise. The 11th. of next month is to be a gala day with the fire department; there is to be a parade and drill, and in the evening a grand ball at the opera house. The Western Amateur band has kindly volunteered to fur nish the music throughout the day and evening. The proceeds will go towards replenishing the tournament fund, and that, of itself, shonld be sufficient to make the entertainment a financial success. Those tourna ments, annual competitions, aid the emciency or the department as noth ing else can, and anything that can be done to aid the matter is in the line of self-help. Everyone that as sists in making the 11th of April a success, assists in making the tourna ment a success and directly helps himself and the city in so doing. Discovery of J. C. Altlialicr's Remains.

Prank Silva in San Franekco. On Friday, December 25th, 1885, J. C. Althaber, an old and well known resident of this city, left the residence of one of his son3-in-law, where he had been staying, and wan dered off, under the impression prob ably, that he was going to meet and go hunting with his son Frank. He was last seen on the following Mon day, the 28th of December, and though the most exhaustive search was made andililigent inquiry made, no trace could be obtained of his whereabouts. From the position of the body it is evident that the un fortunate man wandered on till he fell exhaustedt and perished from exposure. Corouer Boss will bring in the re mains to-day, that they may receive decent interment. A Good Blacksmith Wauled. Steady work and good wages to the right man. Apply at tins office. "" Frauk Silva, the notorious ex-convict and bunko sharp, well known in Astoria about a year ago, is keeping a saloon at the corner of Pacific and Dupont streets in San Francisco, known as "Hell's Kitchen." It was raided by the police the other night ana twelve ooys oetween ia ana 10 years of age were arrested for gam bling. That is about Silva's size. He will probably not show up in Astoria again until the next election when he will be, doubtless, found useful. Ir. Harmon Still Here.

GotojeflTsforo-rstcrs, Private Rooms. A sanntir along the docks and' wharves is always an interesting one, whether the wide stretching river, the blue hills to the north, and the brill iant effect of tho sunlight on gleaming sails, be noted, or more practical ob servation made of the busy scene of commercial life that can more nearly be observed. Yesterday was "an average day," and tho panorama of stream, moun tain and forest was particularly at tractive. The beauties of our natural scenery, the magnificence of the lower Columbia landscapes and waterscapes become in time unnoticed, but some times Mother Nature, dressed in robes of living green and brilliant in the sunlight, compels admiration by the added splendor of her surround ing presence. - The scene of moving life in the stream and at the docks, demanded, however, the greater share of atten tion. Sail and steam craft of every ton nage, whether at rest or in motion, were everywhere visible. Beginning at the extreme upper end of the O. II. & N. dock was to be found the stanch old side-wheeler Ancon, of which the writer has pleas ant recollections in the matter of sundry trips from San Francisco to San Diego and Los Angele3. She is now transferred to the northern trade, and in steaming through the thous and islands of the inside route to Alaska, vill find as smooth water as along the Santa Barbara coast below Point Concepcion, Where the oil from the bottom of the sea covers the wa ter with an iridescent film. Out in the stream, lay the British ship Pomona, loaded to "the Plimsoll mark" with wheat to feed the London folks with one breakfast She is a good specimen of the svooden walls of old England's merchant marine. She is a Glaegow built vessel, was framed m 18G7, built originally for an emigrant vessel, but still, in her twenty-first year, doing good service in carrying food half way round tho world. Farther out floats the cros3 of St. George frcm two other vessels, wait ing to load grain and lumber, the Sir Henry Lawrence and the Swan sea Castle, and coming into port with a low moan, is the steamship Oregon with freight and passengers from Portland, and pnttiug into the dock to take more passengers and freight from Astoria to San Francisco. As her lines are flung out a crowd gath ers, and when she is fiually made fast the officers are beset with tbaf question that they certainly must get tired of hearing: "How long are you going to stay here'?"' Just below her lies the Columbia, a sister steamship just hi from San Francisco. Ont from her black iron side opens red painted gates and a score of men roll out bundles, boxes, sacks, kegs, crates, freight of all kinds, goods and material, till that end of tho wharf is piled full, and at the other end the mate of the outgoing vessel starts his men to putting aboard shooks, salmon and oysters. From the deck of tho Columbia streams onto the spacious dock and out into the streets a procession of passengers, some for this place; oth- ers farther inland, and all glad of a chance to get on solid laud and stretch themselves. Soon the one swings on her way up stream and the other coes out over Francisco. Far down toward the bar is a coil of smoke and the outline of a hull gliding toward the cape; it is the Olympian going to San Francisco for repairs that could be done just as well at Astoria had we a dry dock at any point of our fifteen miles of north and south water frontage. And now the sun has lifted the va pors from the bosom of the sea, aud gilding np in tow of the Oelclahama comes an unusual out ever welcome sight, an American ship with the stars and stripes fluttering in the breeze, her trim hull, lofty masts and general rig proclaiming an American built vessel ns far as a glas3 could mako her out. It is the Win. II. Starbuck going to dock and dis charge her .New York cargo. Out be yond her lie3 the Lady Isabella in water ballast in want of better, and tho Cockermoutli with 7,000 boxes of English tin aboard, which, presently made into cans, will go back, mayhap in the hold of the same vessel, to where it came from, enfolding the famous salmon whose superiority gives it preeminence. Presently a river steamer glides alongside, the anchor comes up, and thtTbark moves slowly past the other vessels on her way to Portland where, contrary to general custom, this particular cargo of tin is to be discharged. Alongside Main street wharf lies another English bark, the Scottish Knight, with 1,150 ton3 of coal from Australia, to De tiung a glistening heap of black diamonds on the dock; 200 tons of it go to the I. S. N. Co., 500 tons to the Astoria Gaslight Co., and presently the latter company will take the gas out of it aud send it through the pipes to light the 'own. A quaint thought, but scientifically exact, that the sunlight that fell on Australian fern and forest a million years before man was thought of, and which was stored'up in the dark depths of the Australasian coal veins; that this same ancient sunshine, crystalized in black oily coal, should now be carried across the sea and presently the sunshine that streamed down on those silent stretches of flat, half-submerged forest snould light the etreets of this farthest west of American cities. And farther toward the west lies the Oen. Miles, one of the vessels that makes Astoria the distributing point of a wide area, just in from Shoalwater bay. To-morrow she goes to Gray's harbor, and next Tues day to Seattle with the Mountaineer which John A. Devlin, has sold to Capt. Elias; there she will load coal and return. Farther along lies the brig Courtney Ford bound to Alaska, the real and only "far west" that now remnins in tho American frontier. I Brigs and barks and ships and steam- in Justice Cleveland's Court. There were two cases in Justice Cleveland's court yesterday, eaoh of winch involved considerable liaru swearing. The first case was one wherein F. Payne was charged with larceny from Wm. Powell, the alleged larceny being committed in a saloon. It transpired after diligent sifting of voluminous testimony, that Powell lost the money; that upon an outcry being one raised some "tossed" it back to him; that the defendant was in the room, and that 'nobody was anything out." The juatice dismissed the complaint. The second case was like unto the first in the matter of testimony. Bob ert Hazelton, first mate or the Pomo na, was on trial, charged with assault and battery on Larry Snllivan. Each side had some very good witnesses. Sullivan's story was that he went out to the Pomona with somo sailors for that vessel aud was driven off by the mate Hazelton, who drew a revolver on mm auu useu unparliamentary language. The mate's version of the affair was that ho obeyed the cap tain's orders in refusing to let any one aboard in his absence without written authority from him; and that not until Sullivan had drawn a pistol on him had he drawn one on Sullivan. Tho jurv of four listened to tho evi dence and found for the defendant. Tiirnins Orpsonwaril. t-EBSOXAL. J. W. Hume left for San Francisco on yesterday's steamer. Proposals Wanted.

For the third time within a week, says the Telegram, the state board of immigration is in receipt of a request for literature descriptive of Oregon, to be distributed among new comers at Pasadena and San Diego, Cal. The writer of the last letter, under date of March 21st, says: "Please send me some more of those pamphlets, 'Oregon As It Is.' I re ceived those that you sent me a few weeks ago, and they went like hot cakes. The whole of southern Cali fornia is overflowed with eastern peo ple who are seeking for homes in a mild climate. And as this country is chiefly adapted to fruit raising, and owing to the oxtreme high price of land, a great many of them are going back east or talk of starting for Ore gon as soon as they can learn more about it. I have distributed those pamphlets you sent me and have been requested to write for more. "Myself aud others of this place ex pect to start for Oregon in a few weeks." A Real Txai Room. Golthereeli!
