Hare The new steamer building for Aiasfca by the Scandinavian Packing Co. on the beach near the Astoria Iron Works, will be ready for launch ing about March 15th. She is stoutly constructed. She will be called The Polar Bear. During January there were shipped to San Francisco 5,742 cases salmon; by rail east, 3,763; total domestic, 9,510. From April 1st, '87, lo Febru ary 1st, '88, there were shipped to San Francisoo 53,833 cs.; to the east by rail, 291,069; foreign, 120,336; total, 465,238 cs. There ought to be blood on the streets of Moscow, L T., because in a card in the Mirror, over his signa ture, C. B. Eeynolds, editor of that paper, calls J. Ij. Brown, of the Star, a liar eleven times and a thief once, and there are only thirty-three lines in the card. A man went into a shop and said to the shop-keeper: "If you'll give me as much money as I've got in my pocket, Til spend six-pence." He was accommodated, and kept his word. He then went into a seoond shop and repeated the process, and then into a third; but when he came out of the third shop he had no money left How mnoh money had ho in his pocket when he went into the first shop? There is a body of timber about eleven miles south of Enappa that is said by experts to be equal to any thing in the way. of timber in the northwest. It extends clear to theNe halem. About S150.000 would build a railroad to the Columbia to that locality, and after the first five miles were built, it is thought by those whose knowledge lends weight to their opinions, that the hauling of logs would justify further extension of the road. Since the recent order of the de partment at Washington regarding the conditions of bonds in the seized schooner cases, it has become possi ble for owners of schooners to se cure their vessels by giving bonds. Capt Lutjen, owner of the Kate and Anna, went to Sitka on tho last steamer and is expected to return with the vessel and skins in a few days. Ho will give bonds for both and will at once proceed to fit out his vessels for the summer sealing cruise. A Portland housekeeper, telling her experience to tho Welcome, says: "I have had girls that were homesick and cried all the time, and a woman that drank, and one that carried dishes away and told me that they had been broken, and I have had them call out to me for 'the comb,' and one that drank all the milk, and one that got quantities of raisins and figs on my credit at the grocery, and more than one who told every other girl in the block everything that went on in the house and a great deal that didn't Oh, mercy alive, I have had all kinds, and my experience has been that of any other small family of one hired girl." Thos. Hare died last Suuday after noon at tho residence of his mint, Mrs. M. M. Gilman. He was tnken ill some weeks since and suffered se verely from pneumonia, ne was thought at one time to be improving and in a fair wnv tn tret nut hut un favorable symptoms showed them selves last week, and despite the most careful nttentinn it wni ot-Mont lncf Saturday that the end was near. .ueccasea was in the UUtn year of his ni?e. wnawpllknnwn nnrl rronnrnllv liked.

The vessel was a ferry steamer plying between Vnllejo Junction and South Vallejo. There were between fifty and sixty persons on board at the timo. It is known that seven persons were killed; five bodies havo oeen recovered eo far. They are those of Michael Bronnelly, Albert Madison. OlifT'Nplsnn nnrl twnnthflra who are burned beyond recognition, John Olives was rescued alive but died from his injuries. It is believed mat ten bodies are still on board the steamer. Capt Gedge and most of the crew escaped with slight injuries. Among the missing are Edward and Jas. Rule, John Compton, Timothy Hurley, Joe Williams. Wm. Connelly, John Hodgkius, Michael Dolan, Wm. Lamar, G. C. McDonald, and a color ed norter named Clark. Later. It is declared that there were 67 oaooIa on hnnrr?. nf wlmm only seventeen have been accounted for, and the fear is now entertained thflt tllA nnlnmitv fa 111n mnyn aa- ious than at first thought, indicating that forty persons have been killed. The disaster was due to the explo sion of one of the petroleum vats. Within a few minutes after tho ex plosion the steamer sank, the mud now covers her upper deck and all that can bo seen of her is her flag staff. Tho wharf caught fire nnd is still burning. The telegraph office is also destroyed. The full scope of the dis aster cannot be known for spvprnl days. MILLS TARIFF BELL. WASniJfaTOK.
