It is understood in sporting circles that Pat Killen may meet his match to-morrow night at the opera house. A large number of Seasiders re turned from Long Beach yesterday on account of a lack of accommoda tions. The Tillie E. Starbuck was towed alongside the O. R. & N. Co's dock yesterday, and will begin lightering to-day. The Oregon arrived from San Fran cisco last evening a few hours be hind time. She brought 65 tons freight for this port Mr. Cole, on Coal creek, has a coal mine which he expects to furnish large quantities of that material when it is developed or opened up. After this week the steamer City of Astoria will receive a thorough over hauling, when Cant Babbage will rearrange her route for the fall and winter trade. The hull of the now steamer built by Joe Leathers for Max Skibbe was launched yesterday and towed to Wilson & Fisher'p dock where she will receive her machinery. Capt. Howes and pilot Joe Harri man started yesterday for tall timber to take up a timber claim. The pilots have all taken up timber cluims with the exception of one or two. The steamship Columbia sailed for San Francisco yesterday with the fol lowing list of freight from Astoria, 1,294 bdls shooks, 400 cases salmon, 100 sks oysters and 10 tons assorted truck. Arrivals from eastern Oregon and Washington say that everything there ia hot, scorched and withered, and that we don't appreciate our cool days, emerald lawns and abundance of water. Don't we though! There will be a delightful excursion to Ihvaco on the commodious steamer T. J. Potter next Sunday, under the auspices of the Western Amateur band. The boys deserve, and will doubtless receive liberal recognition. Yesterday morning at the alarm of fire on board the steamer Louise Vaughn Malt Dee was one of the first to respond, and jumped aboard to let go a line to save the dock from burning, when he was quite seriously burned on the right side of his head. The case of the state of Oregon against John Stephens for assualt and battery on Joe the Txirk of the Salva tion army was tried yesterday for the third time before Justice May and a jury who brought in a verdict of guilty of disorderlj' conduct, beiug tantamount to an acquittal. Says the Oregenian: State school superintendent McElroy estimates that the ratio of school children to the total population in Oregon is one to five. His report shows the total num ber ot school children to be 93,098. which on the five to one basis would make the population of Oregon 465, 490, an increase of 216,278 over 1885, and 290,723 over 1880. According to that estimate Clatsop county, with 2,023 children of school age, would have 10,115 population which is not far out of the way. Has it occured to you that ocean steamers now make better time than the average passenger train? It seems strange, doesn't it, that a ship should plow through the ocean at a higher rate of speed than a passenger train on wheels? But it is a fact, as figures prove. The City of Paris on her trip last week made 587 miles in one day, or 24 miles an hour. An ordinary passenger train does not av erage over 22 or 23 miles an hour, and it is a fast train that makes 25 miles an hour, or 600 miles a day. Special Meetinjr. A. F. I).

Alex Gilbert's Place For sale. Call and satisfy yourself. the Close of the season. A Comparison of This Tear and Last. A Busy Season and a Comparatively Short Pack. The salmon catch on the Columbia river closed at midnight last night. It shut down solid, and it is not probable that a single cannery on the river will be found receiving fish after what was caught up to midnight last night has been delivered. Probably no season since the can ning of salmon began here in 1866, or, rather, since the salmon law was en acted, has there been so general an observance of the law as during the four months that closed yesterday: all through the season there was scarcely any illegal fishing, and to-day not a single net or seine will be found in operation. In no season has there been ao little loss of life: this is due to the almost entire cessation of fishing on the bar. In no-season have the gill net fish ermen had poorer returns. The highest boat record that has come un der the writer's observance was one that had 900 fish. The average for this season will not, it is believed, be over 360 to the boat. In no season has the river been so thoroughly drained by seines and traps, though the traps have not done nearly so well as was expected in the early summer months. In no season has the salmon cost the canneries so much as it has this year. COST OP A CASE OF SAIiMOX. The first estimate of the cost of a case of Columbia river salmon, ready for the market, was made in 1877. That year it figured up this way: Cans,483 cents each SI 44 Pish, 3 40 cents each 140 Labels it) Case 18 Lead and tin 12 Labor and fuel 80 Interest, taxes, etc 10 Total 54 20 This year it is something like this: Cans, 48 2c each 1 20 Fish, 3 $1.40 each : 4 20 Labels 08 Case 14 Lead and tin 11 Fuel 04 Interest 03 Taxes 02 Labor 18 Total $G 00 If criticism ba made that the ag gregate cost of the raw material is put a little too high, it may be said that the bulk of the salmon put up on the Columbia river this year coat very nearly 31.40 each. Up to ten diV3 affo it looked a3 though the pack was hopelessly short, even in comparison with last year when the following amounts were put up. THE PACK OF 1833.

It will be the 15th iust, before the exact figures of this year's pack can be attained. The canners themselves couldn't tell exactly yesterday after noon, and cannot give more than ap proximate figures till all the salmon on hand yesterday is canned . and cased.

Ausoiute accuracy is not claimed for the above figures, but jt is be lieved that when the exact figures are furnished in two or three weeks, that the aggregate will not vary much from 315,000 cases as the pack of '89. Of that amount it is safe to say that 275 000 cases are sold, at prices vary ing from $6.50 a case upwards. The value of the Columbia salmon pack of '89, may ba set down at 82. 100,000. f. o. b.

Kailroad, And His Party, Will Be Here To-day A Band of fire Fiends Peared in Portland Portland, July 31. There was a rumor of a large fire at Dallas, Polk County, circulating here this afternoon but no definite news has as yet been obtained. THE DEATH WARRANT SIGNED. The death "warrant of "Chee Yong, the convicted Chinese murderer, was signed to-day. TRYING TO MAKE A CHANNEL. The city dredge will be taken down to Postoffice bar next Tuesday to be gin work at once. Her services are' needed there at present, and she can't throw out sand too fast The dredge will be in charge of Capt Carroll. The government dredge is working away at St. Helens, and according to latest reports, is making splendid headway. When the city machine gets down with her the bar will be cut out in short order. Twenty feet can now be found at St. Helens, but as the river keeps falling it s feared that by the last of August it will be much lower. A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. This morning at 9 o'clock a car penter named J. Ashloine, was run over by a car at Hinkle's quarry near La Camas, W. T., having his left foot completely cut off at the ankle. A donkey engine was being moved from one derrick to another, when the cable slipped, curving back with the above unfortunate result. Ashloine was taken to the hpspital at Vancouver. WELL CARED FOR. Quinn N. Guthrie, the young fire man, who was on the same train with the late Jno. Miller, engineer, wrecked near Lebanon Sunday, is being well cared for at St. Vincent's Hospital. His mother and sister being constant ly with him. He bears his sufferings like a hero and will recover, but his face will be disfigured. JUDICIAL MATTERS. To-morrow morning Judge Shat tuck, of Department No. 1 circuit court, will hold his last session of court prior to taking a vacation. At that time the mandamus proceedings of Richard Everding against H. E. McGinn, district attorney, will come up. To-day Richard Thornton began an action against J.

Charles Francis Adams, president of the Union Pacific railway will ar rive in this city to-morrow morning at 6 o'clock, accompanied by Mrs. Adams, Miss Adams, Louisa C. Ad ams, his daughters: The party includ ing Mr. Oliver W. Meek, comptroller of the United States, and Mr. Edward 3anfield, private secretary to Mr. Adams, have just returned Trom a trip to the north having taking in all the most interesting points in Alaska. Mr. Meek is now in Portland and says they had a most delightful time. The trip to this coast is for pleasure, not business. Mr. Adams has attended to his own personal correspondence only. At eight o'clock, two hours after ar riving here, the party will take the elegant steamer T. J. Potter and visit Ilwaco till evening, when they will re turn on the same boat. Mr. Adams and family will then board the south bound train for San Francisco and other southern California points, grad ually after that traveling eastward and stopping for a day at a time at various places of interest. Comptroller Meek will go east from here next Friday as soon as he sees the party off for California. A BAND OF FIRE BUGS FEARED. "Within the last three days there have been three incendiary fires" here and in East Portland, one doing ser ious damage. A policeman' jmo is pretty wide awake and proposes to be able to distinguish a stranger from a permanent resident says that he be lieves that there is a small organiza tion of fire bugs in the city who re cently arrived from Seattle and Ellensburg. Their experiences in these places have "whetted their appetite for more exciting scenes in'the shape of large conflagrations, also for plun der. "If you know this to be a "fact why don't you impart your knowledge to the chief f asked a listener. "The chief knows all about it and so do other patrolmen," was the "retort If this statement which is accepted with some grains of allowance is true, the handful of "patrolmen on active duty at night will be unable to guard this city against: such emergency. There are not enough, officers on duty to properly patrol the full length of the river front, Front, First, Second and Third streets to say "nothing of the more western part of the city.

Powell returned from a trip to California yesterday. Mrs. W. J. Barry, Annie and Ella Pope, Katie Thrall, Annie Hartwig, Alice Stockton, Aggie "Watts and Mrs. P. Trullinger leave this morning for a season of ten day's recreation at Long Beach. Clatsop Connty Peache. About a dozen boxes of ripe, lus cious peaches at Jos. Higgins' store on Second street shows what Clatsop county can raise in the way of peaches. They are from W. E. Demeut's place on Lewis & Clarke's, and are fully equal in ripeness and flavor to any thing seen here this season. They nre much superior to the ordinary run of peaches brought here from Cali fornia. The peach is a fruit that can't stand transportation. It must be consumed close to where it is raised. The hard, green peaches brought here from Cal ifornia are no satisfaction to anyone who wants to enjoy one of Nature's daintiest offering a real ripe peach. There is a good demand here for peaches, and such as those from Mr. Dement's place show that peaches can be successfully raised hi Clatsop county. "Iu the Midst of Lifr We Are in Death." Isaac Buchanan, of Portland, a brother of Capt. J. W. Buchanan, aged about 70 years, came down on the TelepJione yesterday afternoon, intending to go to the beach to day. He had been ill for a few days, and a few minutes after the boat was at the dock Capt. U.B. Scott said: "Well, now are you reeling nowr "I am much better," he replied, and sought the lower deck. A moment after he dropped dead. A physician was summoned, who pronounced the cause of his death to be heart disease. The body was taken to Portland last evening. Deceased was a single man and said to be worth about 8100,000. A Site For a New llnpitul. Mention was made in thesacolumus some time ago of the intention of some ladies and gentlemen to begin the construction of a new hospital a soon a suitable sue could be pro cured. It is now learned that a satisfactory site has been donated by Mrs. "W. "W. Parker, in the northwest quarter of the block, on which is situated her residence, being immediately north of the "house. The nroperty given is estimated to be worth 87,000. It is understood that the service of an architect will shortly be secured, and the preliminaries arranged for the erection of a suitable building. The "Limine Vaughn" Again (in Fiie. At five minutes to five o'clock yes terday morning the fire bell pealed out its warning notes. The fire proved to be again on the steamer Louise Vaughn, which was blazing from stem to stern. As usual the depart ment was out with promptness, and with two streams soon had tho fire under control. This time the fire oc curred in the hold, nothing now re mains but the burnt machinery and the hull. Altogether a hole over two feet wide was burnt in the hull. Silent Salvation. Not a drum was heard, nor a cornet note, as the salvation army marched to the corner of Yates and Govern ment streets last night. The members were also as dumb as clams at high tide. They formed a circle at the cor ner and played silently. The sudden transition from the noisy street show to the Quaker style was appreciated by the citizens. After remaining on the streets for fifteen minutes the si lent army marched off to engage in knee drills at their barracks. The hackmen and citizens generally ap preciated the quiet and very orderly meeting. Victoria Times. Epoch. The Iransition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the indi vidual. Such a remarkable event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has beea at tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard m praise of Elec tric Bitters.
