From Portland to Roseburg, there is a general complaint of hard times among saloon keepers, a state of af fairs clearly attributed to the unpre cedented success of the temperance re formation as prosecuted by the in domitable Blue ribbon leagus. .7..M"oved, seconded, and carried, that Curl Adier's Variety Store -is the cliear ststoVe in the city. Joaquin Miller has departed for the eastern states. He took Maud with him, who will be placed in one of the leading seminaries of the east, it is hoped that protection will be thrown about her, and that she will grow up to be the lad' he ought to be. Capt. Starr has consented, we un derstand, to give an excursion to Vic toria on the 2Gth from Seattle. For the round trip, $6. This will give those who go on this big excursion an opportunity of extending the same to "British Columbia at a very reasonable outlay. Now is the time to begin to think about putting up the smaller fruits. An experienced housewife gives it as lier opinion that the work is generally put off too late. The first berries of any kind that come to perfect maturity are the best to preserve either by the air-tight or any other process. Ice Cream Candy, a hi Paris, at Adlcr'i per Elder; also, a large assort ment of other choice candies. The seventh annual reunion of Oregon Pioneers will be at Salem on the 17th.

After climbing down a precipitous cliff with Mr. John liobson, about two hundred feet, to watch the seining, at Fort Canby yesterday, we were greatly disappointed, as the seine was snagged and only one fish (a large pogie) bagged. But as Major Mor ris famous bird dog caught that fish several times, to the amusement of the spectators, it v. as something; and :is Sargent Fennon helped lis around the rocks, we were not compelled to 'Mmib the awful steep it was bad onough for us to descend it. A Seattle correspondence of the Oregonian notes the death, in that city on the 1st mst., of Mrs. Lucy Blanch ard, wife of Merrill Blanchard esq., of Rainier. Mrs. Blanchard leaves a large family of sous and daughters on this coast, among whom are Mrs. Learv, Messrs John M. and Merrill Blarochard, Jr. Mrs. Dibbles and Judge Dean Blanchard, of Rainier Mrs. Edward Polhemus, of San Jose, and Hon. Nathan W. Blanchard, of Santa Paula. Mrs. Blanchard was Go yeare of. age. The Excursion Ycstcrdaj'. The excursion to sea yesterday, given by Capt. Flavel as a compliment to Senator Coclnane, was a very de lightful one. The party numbered some szteen persons. The steamer Columbia, Capt. Eric Johnson, was used to nnke the trip to sea from As toria to Fort Canby, and returning, the steamer C. J. Brenham, Capt. Geo. C. Flavel, was used from Canby home, leaving the Columbia to take her place on the pilot station. Among the persons on board we not'eed Com missioner John llobson, Prof. W. L. Worthington, Major C. II. Page, Senator Fulton, Mr. Foley as repre sentative of the Standard, Messrs. Caniield, Badollet, Dr. Kinsey, Gnu, Bunhar. The Automat ic 011113' passed, the vessels prow was turned northward and came in by way of the north channel. Landing at Fort Canbv the party were entertained by Major bourgeon, Maj. Alorrs, Dr. Weisel, Mr. Fennon, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Da vis, Mr. Allen, and others, visiting the light-house, the seining grounds, life saving station, magazine, etc., and after about two hours debght fully spent went on lMmrd the Canby, where luncheon was partaken of and then set out for Astoria. The scenes which one meets with at this season of the year on such an excur sion are inexpressibly leautnSil, no country in the world can sur pass it for the loveliness of water scape. The fine old snow capped Mount St. Helen looks grand from the sea; and the hills, ever lovely, are far handsomer watched from the deck of a vessel. All this, and far more than feeble pen cai picture, may be seen on days such as this about As toria, and our guet feels well repaid for his detention to take it in, and better than ever understands the sit uation hereabout. Capt. Flavel took Mr. Cochrane to the Upper town in a carriage to visit Gen. Adair and to day he leaves Astoria for his home in Lane county. Harbor of Rofajro. At a meeting of the Portland Board of Trade dune llth, as an answer to a letter from the Astoria Chamber of Commerce asking what action the board had taken or proposed to take toward securing the selection of the Columbia river for the harbor of ref uge, Mr. V. S. Newbury proposed the following resolution, which was adopted unanimeusly: That the president and secretary be directed to ask the board of engineers to visit Oregon and Washington territory, and to prepare such information for their use as shows the advantages of Co lumbia river bar for a harbor of refuge, and if they are not to come to Oregon, that the president of this bonnl be auth orized to aupoint a member of this board to visit the board of engineers at San Francisco, in company with a mem ber of the Astoria Chamber of Coin incrce. A Political Muddle. J. J. Whitney, the prosecuting at torney who refuses to prosecute and has caused Gov. Thayer to issue his proclamation announcing the appoint ment of a special attorney, came down on the cars yesterday and says he in tends to issue a counter proclamation, that as the Governor has not conduct ed affairs to his satisfaction he ap points S. W. McDowell, of Salem, executive in his stead. "When Mc Dowell hears of this he will go to Rocky Earhart to demand his official certificate and a quarter's )&y in ad vance especially the latter.

Ckuxiffo Time. Brother Haskell, "the reformed clown" blackguard, is conducting a Methodist revival in Amber, Il linois. An excited sister fainted in one of his meetings, arid he said: "Stand away, brethren and sisters, and let the angels come in and fan her. 1 feel as if a quarter 'section of heaven had caved in and all the stars were tumbling down on me. You christians are like young pigs. I have to pull your ears off to get you to tlie gospel I trough, and after you get a taste of the glories nearly pull your tails off to get you away." Important work is being done on the roads, and about the post at Port Canby by the military prisoners RAILROAD TALK. Tacoma to lie tin Terminus ef the X. S K-; Portland the Terminus oftlic V. I. K.; and .Gloria the Tcr luinnsorihc C. P. R. From the IhlUoro Independent The rumor that came here from Portland but not through the Port land papers, that Jay Gould had bought the railways in western Oregon and this grasping and in domitable capitalist intended to build a railway to the Pacific coast at once, is now confirmed from an article in the Boise Statesman, which says that Gould and the Union Pacific who secured control of these valley roads own a steam ship line between Portland and San Francisco, and have establish ed depots in Portland, and that the Union Pacific has determined to cut loose from all dependence on the Central Pacific which has broken their old agreement of having but one trans-continental road by extending their road on their southern route through Arizona. Jay Gould and the Union Pacific propose now to extend their road to this coast and will build one hundred miles of road this way from Eagle-rock on Snake river this season, and thence as rapidly as possible to the coast, so as to tap the Idaho and upper Columbia trade before the North ern Pacific. It is now known that the North ern Pacific will not build its road down the Columbia, but run it over the Cascades to some point on Pu-get-sound, Tacoma pretty cer tainly, where it will build up a large city on its own lands and at tempt to wrest the China trade from San Francisco, which if! may be able to do, as their line is a thousand miles nearer than the present route via San Francisco to the east. The statesman sas that it is probable that the Utah Northern will also be built into Montana in addition to the line from Eagle rock so as to tap the Idaho and Montana trade and take it away from the Northern Pacific. And there is some talk of the Central Pacific building a road to the head of the "Wallamet valley from Win nemucca, to connect with the pro posed Pengra road, thence to Port land. Now if the Central Pacific would put a line through from Winne mucca to Eugene city, thence down the west-side to Astoria, says the Independent, it could successfully compete with Jay Gould and the Northern Pacific for the metropo lis of the north. At the same time it would get the valuable land subsidy voted to the McMinnville railroad, which is worth millions, even for its timber and coal beds. And into the contest among the three points (Astoria, Tacoma and Portland) for the mastery, Portland would not have a ghost of a chance while Tacoma in any event could not hope to overshadow her rapidly growing rival at the mouth of the Columbia. But, if the Central Pacific should not build to Astoria, it is probable that Jay Gould will extend the west-side road to that point to save the valuable land subsidy, so that we shall have connection by the west-side with deep sea water. Thus the people of Oregon, and the west-side counties in particu lar, have bright prospects in the future. Excursion to I'uset Sound. A great excursion from Portland to Seattle, W. T. and back, will come oft June 24. Astorians and all others in this vicinity who wish to join this party, will meet them at Kaklama at 11 o'clock of that day, and take the North ern Pacific railroad train for New Ta coma, thence to Seattle by the Pacific Coast Steamship Navigation Co.'s boats A grand reception at lcslefs hall will greet the party in the evening.
