and Bcvelation.
The First Baptist church sociable,
held atMr. Broadus, proed a success,
for the rooms were crowded with pleas
ant friends and company. Conversation,
excellent vocal music, and refreshing
, edibles bountifully supplied, entertained
the caller until a reasonably late hour.
All aided to make'the evening a pleasant
i one and we can vouch for its being one
of the most sociable sociables we ever
attended. The other churches would do
well to follow the example set. and pro
vide for the social enjoyment of Its mem
bers, especially the strangers who are
not blessed with home comforts.
The ladies" entertainment at Liberty
hall will undoubtedly -be successful as
it deserves to be. We are informed by
'one who has been there,' that all the
tableaux are excellent and the singing
of the highest order. The ladies are re-
' hearsing with the intention of having a
first class entertainment, and when a
party of ladies make up their minds to
succeed in anything, it is advisable to
place no impediment in their path, but
rather encourage them, especially in
such a commendalxle undertaking as the

And stands in the forest so lowly and

"The Fish Subject.
Astoria, !iov. 10, 1877.
Ed. Asteria:
Dear Sir: The article on the first
page of the Astorian of to-da3r, head
ed "The Fish Subject", and signed
"j. c. t.", has so many incongruities
and absurdities in it, to call its state
ments 03 no harsher terms, that its
reading, 03 any one near Astoria, will
be its confutation.
But I beg to notice just two items
of it. ft says that all the "mills,
woolen factories, and tannneries"
"never killed a salmon in Qitegon."
I wish to ask "j. c. t." if he thinks
a school of say 100,000 small salmon,
from one to two inches long, coald
pass down the Clackamas or Tualatin
river, from their birth place, near the
head waters of the stream, through a
reach of two or three miles in the riv
er below the sawmills, taking two or
three days to make it, when the water
of the river in that reach is milky
white with sawdust, fine and coarse,
and arrive in the Wallamet and Co
lumbia in a healthy condition?
If he thinks thetiney, tender young
salmon could live through such trea.
ment and thrive afterwards, with their
'breathing and food taking apparatus
in good condition Jcor a long life, then
I luustjeay tJaa.tie and I differ in that.
As to Jiosv dihe sawdust can be kept
out of the xwater, j suppose "ur.-c. t."
jknotwsiShs'fc steam mills in the country,
.away from streams of water,ta.ke their
sawdust ar.ay from the mill, by hand
or with a long screw in a box, or with
an endless revolving apron or belt, and
then burn it or fill some swamp or
mud hole wish it. The same can m be
done at mills run by water.
By similar or other easy methods,
the waste matter of all manufactories
can, fe oisposeu o wiwiouii detri
ment to the runningjstpeauis of water,
or without detriment to the air of the
countr3r, cities or towns, even if the3r
have to burn thcin, cmuttfi-them..
As .ever for-- the fishing interest. .
