It comprised a wood -chopping, rag-cutting and candy pulling. Young men who hadn't split a stick for their poor old mothers for over a yfcar actually chopped a cord apiece; the girls cut forty-nine pounds of rag3; and as for candy, the whole crowd were smeared with concrete molasses from head to foot. River Improvement. At a meeting of the Portland JJoavd of Trade last Wednesday.- evening, to hear the report of the committee ap pointed to consider tho matter of rix'er imurovemcut, considerable interest was manifested. The report, which is very extensive, reviews the nature and formation jf the bars in the Co lumbia between Astoria and 1'oitlandj and recommends that a dredge be built, of the nost approved de scription and of sufficient power to remove at least 1000 cubic yards of deposit per day of ten hours. It is thought that a dredgfc of that capacity could be built for .910,000; that three scows could be supplied for &",100, and that the cost of operating the out fit for one year would be 8G,000, the cost to be borne by the city of Port land. The report suggests a direct tax of five mills to raise a fund to be applied to keeping clear a ship channel in the Willamette, and that the U. S. dredge be used exclusively in the &: lumbia. The report goes en: "Your committee would net call your atten tion to the present condition of the Columbia river bar. Work on t his bar is quite as necessary and vital as upon any other obstruction to navigation that exists between Portland and ihe sea. This work will pei haps be costly, and the means to be provided of a different class, and more extensive than the simple removal of a river bar. If a dredge be employed it will require one of a different character and power to the rue no hive recommended for use in the Willamette river. The Co lumbia bar dredge should be self-propelling and capable of going to .sea, or resisting a considerable sea, and should be of the endless chain variety, woiking from the side of the ship. That such a dredge could be'builthere and suitable machinery procured for it to insure its success is undoubted by your committee. But it is quite a question whether this plan of dredg ing the Columbia river bar is the best one or not. The lestoratimi of the shore line at or near Fort Stevens might be accomplished and this cer tainly would be siicces-sHil in the establi.shmeui of ship channel to give a greater depth of water than twenty five feet. In cither case, however, it is quite evident that funds will be re quiredand a considerable amount--whether to build a sea-going divdge, or to build permanent improvements n the old shore line of Clatsop." The committee further recommends "that some suitable person conversant with the needs of our growing commerce and the present condition of the ob structions to navigation on the Colum bia and Willamette livens be sent to the city of Washington at an early day to represent this board of trade, and if possible the city council and the board of trade of Astoria and its city council; one whoe energy would be directed to the one end in view, to as sist our congressman, Air. Oeorge, and our senators, .Messrs. C! rover and Slater, to procure a sufficient appro priation to secure work of a character to remove the obstructions and deepen the channels of these rivers. And we would further recommend that 1000 be. raised as soon as practicable for this purpose by subscriptions from our citizens and members of this boaid." Congressman (Jcorge xaid in reference to the bar, that the (Jovernnient sur vey in ISol showed a channel .similar to the present, while in intermediate years there were at times one and at others two well defined channels. This was accounicd for by the action of the currents and tides on Clatsop spit, which would extend north io a certain poiui. When it had reached its greatest dimensions it would "slough" off, .so to speak, ami allow a considerable poitimi of the volume of the Cdlumbia to escape through a south channel, it seems that Clatsop spit has now reached it3 greatest di mensions, and he favored the con struction of jetties to prevent it again "sloughing' off. At the close of the remarks the secretary was instructed to ask the co-operation of our Cham ber of Commerce in the work of securing necessary appropriations. The report itself and the comments thereon are very sensible and impar tial. Wo are glad to note such action on the part of Port landers, and are certain from conversation with mem bers of the board bore, that hearty co-operation may be counted on from Astoria. -We are informed by L. A. Loomis that among the many other improve ments at Oysterville it is the intention of the company to build suitable bathing houses and in other ways add to the attraclability of the place as a summer resort. Julius Halbsgnth. a cnmiclcul music teacher for piano, organ or vocal music, recommends himself to the kind notice of the Astoria mihlic. 1 Orders left at Adler's book store will receive prompt attention.

The California Fish Commission reports that there are now at the San Leandro establishment 200.000 young .salmon ready for distribution, and that they will be sent out in lots of from 10,000 to 15,000 to desirable points, but we'll hardly need any up this way. On the Fraser river this season some of the canneries were very much disappointed, one cannery having ex pected to put up some '50,000 to 40. 000 eases.

Oue said he was not at home much of the time; the other says he can't get his breakfast early any more; that his wife reads Thk Astokio tirat, and it delays hun too much. - From the Oregonian we learn that the Pythian parade last Wednesday was a success ami that "the grace and precision with which the members of the Astoria lodge moved, elicited fa vorable comments along the whole line of inarch. The mounted knights especially appeared to advantage, and displayed fine discipline." A social dance closed the festivities of the day. Mr. .John lingers of the Central Mar ket, has made arrangements to keep all the liiict fresh fish, ele, in their season Tho sorur f "Kvangelim, by Will S.

A kiss from the pretty lass who copied it off and coaxed the author to the completion of the second verse is all the pay he ever received for it, although it has sold :00,000 copies. Insects renerally must lead a truly jovial life. Think what it must he to lodge in a lily. Im agine a palace of ivory or pearl, with a pillar of silver and capitals of gold, all exhaling such a per fume as never tose from human censer.

Labor-saving ma chincn, 'patent fools and steam have robbed the trade of the future It offered to onr boys in the days of the indentured apprentice system. The idlers and do nothings of our metropolitan cities are composed largely of tradesmen and professional men. and merchandising is a failure, if the number of bankrupt merchants who had to .succumb to the pressure of the times can be taken as a criterion.
