&D !.v yjj . jUULmiaasgH Tri-Weekly Astorian ASTORIA Dec- 20, 1S73 X.OGAII 3COTES, XTC. Skating is up, for the present, in this vicinit3. Another freeze is looked ior early in January. During the freeze a temporary stage line was improvised between Columbia City and St. Helens. Bramels5 coffee bland is one of the popular reports for a lunch, at any time. Give his coifee and cake- a trial. There is no ice in Astoria harbor this winter. "With railroad connection with the interior, commerce would not have been suspended for the last two weeks, and wheat dealer bankrupt. Boys, carelessly handling lire arms at .lob ltosV place on Chenamus street came very near co.-ting the life of "Willie "War ren hist evening. The ball from an old pistol barely grazed his head. The tug Sedalia has been engaged, for some days past, in taking up the can buoys, and placing spar buoys in their place along the channel above this port. Thr can buoys are to be repainted for spring. Portland papers think it a shame that Oregon should permit Victoria to pay sixty-five cents per dozen for California eggs. Suppose Portland licstir herself in securing a. winter highway to the seaboard a railroad so that the farmers of Oregon can ex port their eggs to golden markets when the Columbia river is frozen. Portland papers speak of great efforts being made at Portland to break through the ice and take bal ance of the cargo needed b3' the ship Cutwater down the river. The ship however after taking on what she could get at Astoria went to sea with out waiting for spring to open the river above, thinking it cheaper to all parties concerned to sail immedi ately than to pay for delays. She vent to sea drawing 20 feet 6 inches. The Captain hopes to return to Asto ria but will never take his vessel up the river at ordinarv rates. The Oregoniiin is greatly at fault when it asserts that the Cutwater did not land at Astoria, by reason of high winds. This vessel did not attempt or have any occasion to land, nor did the master desire such a thing, which could have been done easily. During the blow that prevented the boats on Puget Sound from making their regular trips and suspended the lading and discharging of large ves sels at San Francisco it was not thought profitable for river boats to lie along side ships anchored off in the harbor at Astoria. This was of only few hours duration but was the occasion no doubt of the blunder made b3r the reporter of Portland who is accustomed to a harbor ?o narrow that one vessel can not lie along side another unless one or both of them is landed, or tied to the shore.
