The Sea Waif is loading at St. Helens for Sau Francisco. - The steamship Oregon left 350 tuns of freight at Astoria, Idaho will be due here on Satur day. She leaves below to-morrow. At the pilot commissioners' meet ing'i&st evening, a full board was pres ent. Messrs. Surprenant & Ferguson jr. began work yesterday upon Mr. J. S. Wright's new house. Mr. Hamilton, owner of the ship City-cf Dublin, is maturing plms to successfully .float the ship. The old mill timbers across the the peninsula, are used for fire wood .-it the Occident bath rooms. E. F. Thompson is in the city from Gysterville. Frank is fattening up largely on Shoalwater buy diet. There was certainly not less than 2,300 souls on board the steamers which arrived at Astoria on Monday night. It is said that the liepublic had 1,340 passengers in all, including chil dren. About 300 left the steamer at Astoria. "If the Chinese must go," asks the St. Louis Post, "can they take the small boy who plies the bean-shooter with them?" Astoria is the most popular re surt on the Pacific coast. At the least calculation, 2,000 visitors were in the city. Monday night. If you 'wish to see the finest beef in the world, call around at "Warren & McGuire's aucL take a look at the tide land critters slaughtered by that firm. Petition is circulating for a mail route via Naselle river from Knappton to Oysterville. It is said there would be but seven miles of knd travel, and that boats can come nearly to Knap ton by this route. -- No first-class reporter will ever forget to add at the end of an unsuc cessful burglary item that the fellows overlooked a box containing $1000 in cash. This always makes the burglars -wad enough torshoct. themselves. The Minneapolis millers are ex perimenting with machinery for com pressing bran for the purpose of ship ment to Europe. It is believed that it can he so compressed as to ,et as much weight into a given package as the same would hold of flour. The steamer Alexander DundKn, belonging to Mr. It. D. Hume, is now undergoing alterations and rep-iir which will lit her for the coast trade. She will make regular trips between Astoria and points on the coast north and south of the Columbia -river. We understand that when the Shnbrick arrives at Astoria from her supply cruise, she will remain here as a tender to the construction of the new light-house which will be placed upon Tillamook rock. A new steamer, for this district, is about finished in Baltimore. Mr. John Wood, of South Bend, who was in the city on business 3'esLer day, informs us that he thinks the re ported sailing of the last two vessels from Sau Francisco for Shoal water bay was. a mistake. The new schooner Trustee has just arrived Jit Sjiii Fran cisco from the South Bend mills. Air. Wood will retrrn home to-day by steamer. A Coos Bay paper Ba's : An old and intelligent sea captain informed us last week that no vessel was ever lost by reason of a north or northwest gale upon this coast. Upon further inquiry we find this statement to be true, jind it is quite an item to be taken into consideration in the selec tion of a site for the proposed 'harbor of refuse. The Columbia river and its tribu taries are at a higher sUige than usual at this season of the year. The water covers the main floors of the Oregon Steamship Navigation company's dock, in Portland, and is still rising. The Columbia and Wallamet are full of floating drift, making navigation ex tremely difficult if not dangerous. The Cowlitz valley is inundated, and doubtless the Chehalis is in a similar condition. For some uuaccoimtable reason, says the Alta of the 27th, the bar oft this harbor was very rough j'esterday morning, and the sea inside and out side of it was very heavy. The pilot- boat Allen drifted in dangerous prox imit3T to the Fort, and a tug was necessary to extricate her from a peril ous position. The ship Palmyra, out ward bound, with a tug jihead, parted her hawser, when just entering the bar, and she remained broadside to the sea for quite a while until a line was got to her from the tug. She wjis in a very uncomfortable position meantime. The Standard says: At 8 oclock Friday morning the steam cutter Thomas Corwin came to a.i anchor directly in front of the city. The city dads ordained that no vessel would be allowed to anchor in front of the city, 3et the Corwin remains. The next move will be an ordinance for the prevention and removal of the tides in the Willamette river within the city boundaries, and any tide coming in after the publication of said ordinance will be deemed guilt3T of misdemeanor. The ordinance will be referred to the committee on "Fire-water." What wont a common council do? It was reported at Astoria, on Sunday that our council had passed an ordinance providing that republicans shall in future wear a collar, and not go at large without a permit. Our Washington correspondent yesterday told us of the review of the noble department of firemen at the national capital. We will venture to bet that there is not an engine in Washington or New York that can compare withTthat of Rescue engine No. 2 of this cit3 other things consid ered. The engineer here, Mr. John Douglass, has by his own ingenuity perfected a connection of the heater and engine which is entirely new. He hoists the stack, shuts off the water la3T-cock, surface-cock, etc., opens the damper, shuts the vent, etc., etc., by one single motion, in less than a sec ond after the engine starts from the room. When she comes home he can set it all in fifteen Leconds, and keep 40 pounds of steam if ho wishes to. It is the most perfect piece of mechan isoi'that we JiaYejever seen. Astoria, Its Present Prospects. Capt. Flavel has handed us a copy of the Alta or the 2Ath ult, from which we quote the follewing: Editors Alta: In 3our excellent editorial of the 3d instant, I was sorry to see it stated that Astoria has "per haps 1500 (inhabitants) now." 1 am sure you dp not intentionally underrate our httle burg, and will allow me to make a correction in your columns. Astoria polls now, with a full vote, over 700 votes, and her permanent population cannot be less than 3500. In the Summer and Spring months there is a large influx of fishermen and sea-side visitors, so that during more than half the 3rear there are probably not less than 0000 or 7000 people living here. This, it is true, is still small, but we are still growing, and we claim at least our share of business for so small a place. Ye have in Astoria, fourteen large salmon-canning establishments, two saw-mills, two breweries, one large hemlock tanning establishment, one large box-factoiy, three well-organized and well-drilled volunteer lire com panies, and 125 shops, including stores and saloons, etc. We want capitalists to develop the coal near here, on the Nehalem; we also want gas-works, and other good paying enterprises in the city here; and tanners to work up oar hides and hemlock-bark, which we have in abun dance. We also want farmers, who will t3ike up and clear for themselves homes out of our government timber lands in this vicinity. Astop.ia Court lroccetliii";s. I'OLICK COUl'.T II. L. PATIKER, J.

Boats out night before last came in with from three to seven fish to the boat 3'esturday morning, and the consequence is that not a single cannerr in the vicinity of As toria began work.

Lodging House Persons requiring furnished or unfurnished rooms can be accommodated at reasonable rates at Mrs.Munsou's Chenaimis st., Astoria. A Washington correspondent of one of the eustern paperscor rects an impression which lias gone abroad to the effect that a hw equalizing bounty to soldiers who servea in the late war had been passed iby the late congrecs. No such law has been passed, no? has any act granting additional bounty been placed upon the statute book since July 28, 1866Vand that law will expire by HmikJiion on.the.3Qth of June,1880, Injunction of Secresy Removed. The county treasurer called on me the other day and called ni3' attention to two letters he had received from Henry and Lewis Olsen respectively, stating that each had a tux receipt given b3r me, and combing the im pression that I had made a mistake and neglected to give them credit for the taxes the3T paid me, and acciden tally dropped it into 1113 own purse; the treasurer also told me that there had been a good deal of talk about such matters of late, that he had received several letters from other parties on the same subject, and that he had kept it ver3T quiet until he had in formed me. Now it so happens that I don't want any secres3 about such matters, and this is the onby mode I know of to make it public. I am not the responsible party in this matter, but inasmuch a Mr. Crellin placed an unlimited confidence in me with out bond or other conditions, I hold ni3self personal by responsible forcveiy dollar and cent of taxes 1 collected, together with the full penalt of the law in such cases made and provided, and in Mr. Crellins absence I take his responsibility also, for I am cer tain that neither he nor I made siiiy such mistakes. I am not infallible, but I don't allow myself to make aii3T such mistakes, and it ought never to be allowed to others. Evoiy dollar and cent collected 03' me is on record on 1113' stubs-ami tax list, and credited to the person who paid it, and there is no mistake about it. I like to see the good work of investigation go on, and if aiL3T persons have the slightest suspicion tint the taxes the3T paid to 1110 has not found its way into the count3 treasury, all the3' have to do is to come and see the record, or drop a line to the auditor or treasurer, state the amounts paid, and I think either of them will give the desired informa tion. Whatever dilricult' there ma' be about persons being asked to pa double taxes, is perhaps the usual blunder of some one else, and no fault of mine. Axdhkw Olsen, .Ek tawtllci-lor l'acific- Co., W.
