iZfMr. Armstrong is taking about
as nice pictures, at the Astoria Gallery,
b any gallery in the State Give him a
call.
2rMr. Charles Stevens at the city
33ook Store i&oflering special inducements
to persons in want of articles in his line.
He ha a sp lend id stock, which he is
closing out -at cost, intending to quit the
business.
Eastern Oregon The Astorian is
doing more for the interests of Eastern
Oregon than any other paper in the State.
It" you have a lriend or a relative in that
section of this country, send him the pa
per on trial. Only one dollar for four
months.
SPut Smith, a noted stock man,
who has invested largely in blooded sheep
arrived in Oregon again recently and will
make arrangements tor distributing here
among sheep owners, of a lot of thorough
bred merino bucks. He will arrive at As
toria with several head of young bucks
ahout the first of June. See advertise
ment. "We reier our reader to the adver
tisement of a farm for sale on Deep river.
This is the best opportunity that we know
of ior any man wanting a good place,
cheap, suitable for dairying or farming
purposes. The onry reason for wishing
to sell, is that the present owner Mr. C.
M. Stark is about to engage in other busi
ness. j2-The June number of Samuel's
West Shore has appeared and contains
most excellent cuts, representing the dif
ferent gold medals and the silver cup to
be awarded at the Portland Centennial
celebration; and also an extensive gen
eral programme of the exercises and
tournaments to take place in that city
during the week of jubilee. These en
enirravings would be creditable to the best
publication in the country. A number of
other very interesting illustrations, also
appear in this number, besides descrip
tive and other reading matter. 3Ir. Samuel-evinces
much energy and comprehen
sion in the management of the "West
Shore, and success is well merited.
jIt is not the polished orator
who shapes public opinion, but the quiet
editor, whose words go out to the public
car without parade or ceremony. The
orator may please the ear or tickle the fan
cy; but the editor does mere: He satisfies
themiiid, and carries to every household a
fund of knowledge. The orator, by burn
ing words and impassioned eloquence,
may drive men to a sense of duty; but an
editor it he be true to his pro iesion, at
tracts men by the presentation of his
thoughts which appeal to the nobler qual
ities of head and heart. The woi ds of the
orator drop from the lips and are lost,
while the words of the editor drop from
the press, and like coined money, pass tor
what they are worth; if pure gold in the
truths conve3ed, they pass current ever3T
where. Eor good or evil, the editor
wields a powcriul influence. He can exalt
or debase a community. He can advance
public corruption. How important, then,
that the editor should be a good man, and
that all papers that convey correct senti
ment to the public ear should receive lib
eral support.
How Advertising Affects Busi
ness. The man who advertise his busi
ness, if what he oilers lor sale is honestly
what he represents it to be or what it ought
to be, is constantly assisted in his business
by those who have been attracted to him
and tested him. A buyer has read his
advertisement, and gone to his store or
work shop, warehouse, whatever it may
be, and tried what was recommended.
If it has satisfied him he is pleased and re
commends it to his neighbor, who is likely
to go to the same place and tell his neigh
bor in turn. And thus little rills started
by his advertisement flow in upon him
from all sides, and the current ot his busi
ness grows stronger and wider and more
rapid, and he prospers and grows rich, all
because strict attention in business he
added judicious advertising. Rut for this
he might have lingered on in the commu
nity tor years and his business would
scarcely have been heard of.
An Editor's Appeal. As the report
that we are very wealth has gone abroad
among our subscribers, and has made
them awiul slow about paying up, think
ing, doubtless, we do not want the money,
we hasten to say the report of our wealth
is false in every particular. If ocean
steamers were selling at a cent a dozen,
we could not make the first pa3Tment on
a canoe. The lightning of poverty has
struck us square, and had it not been ibr
an armful of hay which our devil man
aged to steal irom a blind mule, our
family vould be without a mouthful
to eat at the present moment. Is
nt this a sad picture, and can you de
linquent subscribers look upon it without
feeling the coin rattle with indignation in
your pockets. We do not like to dun you
but we must if you fail to take the hint.
"It Pays to Advertisk." This is true in
every department of business, and no ono ap
preciates its truth nioro fully than S. U.
Thompson. Some time since ho received the
Agency, for this county, of the Cunningham
(jarden City Clipper Plow," and immediate
ly advertised the same in our paper. Green
1. Smith, Ksq., a patron of the Gazette, saw
the advertisement and forthwith rushed to
Thompson's and purchased four of these cele
brated plows which at once have sprung into
popular favor. No mater how good and valu
able an article may bo. a merchant or dealer
may keen it upon his shelves, or in his store
for months, or even years, and but tew will
know anything ot its good qualities, unless he
advertises, ior years .Mr. 'lhompson carried
on business hero, and spent but little for
advertising. Within the past two years his
business has increased nearly double, and be
attributes it to judicious advertising. If you
want to thrive in business, adveetjse Cor
vall'ts Gazette.
Drifts and Tow Heads 1876.
Upper Astoria, Clatsop county, Oregon.
Aprils, iblii. J
At a Special meeting of the Colum
bia .River Fisliermens Beneficial Aid
Society, the following regulations for
the government of all concerned
were adopted. That the following
drifts and tow heads be established
for the fishing season of 1876.

to Brown's point.
Second Drift. From Brown's Point
inside of Snag Island to the 12th red

Third Drift. From the 15th buoy
to Tongue Point.
Fourth Drift. From Tongue Point
to a point a little west of Booth1?
Cannery, at a place to be designated
by a spile or some permanent mark.
Fifth Drift. From She termina

to the Pacific Ocean.
Seventh Drift. From the red buoy
