W -rC 1 r gfte JHattB storlau. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY- ...TAX. 4, 1SS1 . C. IKELAXD .Editor. Collection Day. "Ye desire all persons having bills against The A&tokiax, or D. G. Ireland, to present the same at The Astokian office, and request all knowing themselves indebted to call and settle. This is because of a change in elerks in our count ing room. By the first of next month we hope t be able to make collections and pav- bills as before. The Kate Chase-Sprague case lias now become public property by the filing of Mrs. Spragtie's pe tition for divorce from her hus band. Her petition sets forth a list of grievances which, if half of them be true, present Mr. Sprague in the light of a cruel, disreputable, unfaithful, and brutal man. Referring to the late sleet storm in the valley the Oregonian says: "The recent sleet storm did more damage than first reported. The loss of Mr. Put. Bradford to prune, pear and cherry trees on his farm west ofMarquam'shill will amount to $5,000; Drs. Card well and Wat kinds' loss in the same neighbor hood will be about as much. Pro bably half the trees in that vicinity have been stripped of every limb and those which leaned slightly were prostrated. The loss to fruit trees in this county will not fall short of $20,000."" If it has only killed the lice on fruit trees there will be some compensation in that. The Charleston News says: "This is a good time to remember what Gen. Lee said to a lady who, on taking her sons to Washington Lee univesity, spoke very bitterly of the northern peeple: 'Madame, do not train up your children in hostility to the government of the United States. Remember we are our own country now. Pray dismiss from your mind all section al feeling, and bring them up to be, above all, Americans.' It is to be hoped that this will not be con sidered an indication that Gen. Lee was not a true democrat, or that he cared nothing for state rights and Virginia." A number of prominent grain shippers and managers of steam boat lines on the upper Sacra stento, have issued an acknow ledgment of the work recently done in improving the channel of that river, by Colonel Mendel. It is stated that the high water of last winter washed quantities of debris out of the Feather and deposited the same in the Sacra mento river, immediately below the confluence of the two rivers, forminp; a bar upon which there was only two to two and a half feet of water. Colonel Mendel's attention being called to this mat tor, he procured a steamer with barges and a pile driver, and pro ceeded to construct a dam to con line the water to a narrow channel, atid in a short time succeeded in washing out a channel through the debris, the result being that from five to six feet of water could be found, and that barges and steam boats drawing four and a half feet of water could safely navigate the river, carrying on a barge 10,000 to 11,000 sacks of grain, when half that amount could not be carried a short time before. The shippers and managers referred to proceed to express their confidence in Colonel Mendel's ability to perma nently improve the river channels; and, also bear testimony to the efficiency of W. P. Smith, the immediate superintendent of the -work. They desire to help for ward and encourage the work of clearing out the snags in the chan nel and building coffer dams -wherever needed, to which end reasonable appropriations are de sired from the government. They call the attention of the exchange, the chamber of commerce and of -the public in genera!, to this sub ject.

Mr. Clare So well Read, who went from England to America recently to inquire into American agriculture, in addressing the fanners' club i'i London, said he would not fc.r American compe tition in wheat twenty-five years heree, as an exhaustion of land would ensue in that time, and the cost of production would increase; but in regard to beef there were serious prospects of competition from the vast herds of cattle in the far west. Mr. Read said he deem ed it likely that the American na tion would become the greatest in the world. A small boy went to see his grandmother. After looking eager ly round the handsomely furnished room where she sat, he exclaimed, enquiringly: "O, grandmamma! where is the miserable table papa says you keep?" ICOK.V.
