Trouble Along the Columbia. LOCAL SQL’IBS. The situation along the Columbia, in reference to the striking fishermen, is daily assuming a graver aspect. The strikers, apparently bent on desperate demonstrations, are all armed with the best arms and plenty of ammunition, and being of Italian and other foreign nationalities, would not await a very great provocation to use them. The citizens of Astoria and the smaller towns along the river express themselves in a state of anything but security, many of them on the verge of leaving the city un til the trouble is over. A prominent business man of Astoria said in Portland Monday: “What could a sheriff and a few’ depu ties do against a mob < of over 1000 half wild foreigners, partly organized and reckless as to results, all armed with Winchester rifles and infuriated by op position? “The time has come w hen the state militia should step in and interfere, and the presence down there of a few' com panies of militia on the river would now’ certainly have the effect of creating a feeling of safety that is far from existing now, and of showing these fellows that there is law’ in this country that they must respect, and that no nonsense will be tolerated. “It would take eight hours for the fastest steamboat on the river to make the trip down there, and the assembling, equipping and embarking of the militia would consume four hours more. If there should be trouble of any kind, it will quickly spread all along the river, and in ten hours thousands of dollars’ w’orth of property and many lives could be sacrificed, and practically nothing done to prevent it.” Fish every Thursday at Poley & Co’s.

The people along the Columbia a^e in in a state of feverish insecurity, and un less the state militia appears on the scene shortly, they fear that the mob of strikers will resort to violence. Port land papers are of the opinion that the dispatching of troops to the seat of trouble will not be long delayed.
