The sorry experiences of fishing this year, although it lias cost man' lives and the loss of much property in boats and nets, has demonstrated that tliG best place to catch fish, and the finest fish, is as close as possible to the bar at the entrance of the Columbia river One thing besides that has been learn ed, and that is that the boats used are not adapted to fishing in that locality. If the business is to be carried on hcreafter.it will be neces sary to provide sea going craft to take the place of the little liishing boats. "We need but refer to the list of disasters, day after day, to show the urgency of this suggestion. Tug-boats like the Brenhani, the Astoria or the Columbia, should be used, with nets much longer and deeper than the ones in use, and the nets should be taken up by steam power. A revolu tion in the methods of catching the fish seems more than probable. In case that it was thought dangerous to use such vessels as tenders as we have mentioned above, in consequence of the liability of getting the net into the propellor, paddles could be used set far forward, or else the propellor could be m some way pro tected from the net. We do not pre sume to know just how the work can be performed, and merely oiler this suggestion as the result of con versations growing out of the num i rous disaster recentlj7 occurring. Wc invite correspondence from fishermen, . nd men experienced in matters of this kind. The Sample Copy ISusincss. Frequently we receive postal cards eontaing a request for us to forward a .sirnijle couv of The Astouian to the verson whose name is given on the ' ard. For years we cheerfully com plied with the requests, paying post : ge on the copies sent gratuitously, lut after a tune we discovered that i hese sample copies were used to ob lain the names of farmers and other persons published in the paper, and these persons ivere soon in receipt of tsftll sorts of circulars, swindling dodges, tc, etc., hence we send no more t imple copies on postal card orders. In a business point nothing is gained 1 y publishers who fill such orders. A i ewspaper is as much an article of Merchandise as a paper of pins or a pool of cotton, yet a man would be lonsidered out of his head in anjr t iher line of trade, to send pins, need less and spool cotton, on such orders, paying the postage out of his own pocket, to some man in Kentucky, Alabama, or New England, because he was shnpry requested to do so. ICoom for a Colony. A friend who has been over in the North river country, beyond Shoal water bay, informs us that there is room on that river for two hundred farms. North river empties into the Willipa below South Uend mills. It drains a vast and fertile region. Our informant says the land is very easily cleared. That two men, in there now, have cleared two acres a week for planting. The river is navigable to the falls, and runs through a fertile bottom, which is only subject to overflow in the lowest places. Above the falls a drift has accumulated which it would be diilicult to move, but it can be got around, and above it there is an extensive and beautiful prairie. A Fiat Peel. Daily OrCiiuiuHii. llth. In the Maine greenback conven tion on the 3d .June, Ladd,agreen 1 lack idiot, whom the people last year elected to congress, denoun ced Secretary Sherman because he was "oppressing the people with the power of the treasury C in prooi whereof, he said that "Sher man had sold $100,000,000 worth of four per cent, bonds in one day to bloodsuckers who were choking t':e country." Therefore he "should be impeached." There is i.o fool like a greenback fiat fool. Referring to dis:isters of fishing taints, and the loss of life and property, te Astoria correspondent of this Orc ? oiiinn makes the following important Jigien: "It is sadly to be feared that many of these men take whisky tut with them, and drink at least i nouh to make them very drowsy if not drunk. It would be a good plan for ovnrs of boats to employ an in spector. Sober men would not ob-;-.et to it, and those who did objeet : .ould be deemed guilty, and not vorthy to be trusted with a valuable boat and net." . Excursion to Ptijret Sound. Seattu': W. T. anil back, will come off June 24. Astorians and all others in this vicinity who wish to join this party, J wil 1 meet them at Kaklaina at 11 o clock of that dav. and take the North- A nrrtn4- nxmivtii fm D41am 4- ern Pacific railroad train tor 2seV Ta - coma, thence to beattie uy the rn-iuc ; Coast JStcainship Navigation Co.'s boats. A "rand reception at Yesler's hall will . greet the party in the evening. This is one of the most favorable opiortunities of visiting Pimet Sound ever ottered to our people. From Seattle parties can visit every place on the Sound. The excursion is under the auspices of the Mi E. church, and superintended by Kev. Isaac Dillon. Tickets from Ka lamrt to .Seattle and return, only 55 .TO. Children under twelxe. half price. Tickets good till Julv Kith. The teachers in the public school for the year closing June Gth have been, W. L. Worthington, Miss Neal, Miss Hewitt, Miss McGregor, Miss Holden and Miss Brown. No report was made of the primary grades, ex cept to give the names of the pupils. Senator It. 13. Cochrane was in tending to return home to-day, but will remain over upon invitation of Capt. Flavel, in order to make a trip to sea this morning upon one of the bar tugs, and visit the fortifications and other places of interest in this vicinity, in company with a party of citizens and friends from Astoria. There is somewhat of a conflict in opinions respecting what it was pre vented the destruction of Capt. Fla vel's large warehouse at the destruc tion of Trcnchard & Upshur's store by tire. We will undertake to settle the point amicably. Look and see that notice "no admittance" on the cor ner of the building. Is it not plain that that notice had something to do with it? DIED.
