A barkentino ' in process of con struction at PortBIakely has "a full figure head with an elliptic stern."

Mr. John Sutherland met with quite a pninful accident last week whilo at work; tho ax slipping, inflicted a sevoro wound on his foot near his ankle. This mil no doubt lay him up for a short time. An infant child of D. Itoss is quite sick, rendering it necessary to send to Astoria for medical aid. Among our latest arrivals we note with pleasure the presence of a wee one at the home of Mr. Bagley; it's a son. Mr. Amos is veiy much improved in health, and we hope it will bo per manent. Our Sabbath school was organized to-day; the following officers were elected: Superintendent, Rov. I. Bel knap; Asst. Supts., John Ross and John Sutherland; Sec, D. Sutherland; Treas, Mrs. M. A. Brown; Librarian, Miss Lottio Spears; Asst. Librarian, Chas. Speare; Organnist, Mrs. Divis; Chorister, James Ross. Wo understand Mr. Baker received his Valentino all right. Mrs. Davidson, with her little fam ily, left us last woek. She is return ing to her old homo in Kentucky. Joxes. Charged him. Interest A cattlo man coming down on tho Bonita telU a story about a certain banker in Portl md with whom Vo had a little uusmois transaction about two weeks ago. In getting a cash checked tho P. b. ovtr paid tho c. m. 100. The c. m. was up in the east ern country ard didn't ijot back to Poitlaud for a month. As soon as he got to tho mntnipolU ho wont to tho P. b. and relating the circumstances, handed him tho 100. The P. b. took it and Uistily figuring on a piece of paper told him that ho owod him interest for the time, stating the amount. It was not till he was half wayto Astoria that ho found breath enough to tell tho story. Council Proceedings Tho City Council mot 1 ist Tuesday evening. Divers loporti were re ceived and accepted, and sundry ordi nances read and passed. Several claims were nlloned; tho resignation of W. D. Baker was accepted, and W. E. Dement was elected to fill the vacancy in the Council occasioned thereby. Tiie Council then adjourned to meet on last ovenin, when other unfinished business came up which was finally disposed of. Notice. Thoro will bo a meeting at the Court house at 2:30 r. M., on Monday, March Gth, to consider tho proposition of building a road from Smith's Point to Skipanou.

Frank Fabre has oysters in every style, btew and pan roasts a specialty Catohing Salmon Anyone who strolls around town these days can seo ovory loft utilized by men busy making not; every cannery being cloired and renovated; boats being caulked and painted; in tho nntof the canning establishments cans -ans being made by tho hundrSd gross; and on every hand are uviuced preparations for tho sihmn) Ciiming sbisonof '62. Material of all kinds i higher th m heretnf irb, Ubur is scarcer, and competition keener. Al-r-ady the lalmou luve iwuiuenced t make their eppearaaw and, before many weeks the river will be dotted vilh boats catching the first run "a plenty." It is thought th U the thirty foven canneries of Astoria and vicinity will run twelve hundred boats this season, and with anything like aver age luck, the pack of '82 will exceed even the 540,000 cases of last season. Among the methods employed in snaring the tish is an uniquo contriv ance in tho fashion of an undershot wheel which scoops the unsuspecting salmon as ho swims, and, lifting him into a sort of flume slides him on to tho shore. This works well in narrow channels, but is justly looked upon with disfavor, for it is too indiscrimi nate and takes in everything that come3 along. Wo behove the fish wheel at the Cascades is tho only one of the kind on the Columbia river. We hope so, anyhow. The trap when fixed just light is a neat device for pulling in the finny tribe. A row of slats built somewhat like a fence and heading with the cur rent gradually narrows to a point, leads the unwary salmon along till he gets to a pocket at this point, and as ho nover thinks of turning around to snim against tho current he is bagged; with a good station in the matter of currents, tho fish trap pays woll; but its too much of a gamblo to suic the greater part of the fishermen. Some salmon fishing is done with seines; very little of that here, the water being too deep. The seine is generally from 300 to 400 feet long, wido in tho middle and narrow at the ends; one end is held on the shore, and tho seine, being carried out in a boat is allowed to drop down tho river, when with a quick sweep the river end is brought swiftly to the shore, often resulting in a good haul. But the method geneially used, and exclusively in vogue on the bar and from 'thero up the river for twenty- fivo miles is the gill net. This is gen erally mado of tho best twine, and weigh from 125 t" 170 pounds, cost ing from 200 to 400. The meshes of the net aro four and a quirter in ches square, or eight and a half inches from mesh to mesh; so that a thirty- six mosh net would bo twenty-livo deep, though most of tho nets do not hang so deep as that Tho tide and tho channel is as carefully studied by tho fishermen as by the river or bar pilots, and advantage taken of overy possible opportunity by men who thoroughly understand just what they are about. Eichboat contains two, sometimes three, men; starts out to get "tho head of the drift," and tho net is spread across the channel, the upper side being kept perpendicular by moans of floats; great wooden bobbins strung along the edge, while the lovvor side has attachod to it leaden sinkers. The boat drifts down with the tide, the net being kept plumb, the captain now and then drawing tho net over the boat and liking out tho fish; unless in case of a heavy run, when the fishermen aro iu tho same fix that Peter and tho Apos tles wero, in on the Sea of, Galilee when they called upon all and sundry for help, as the nets vrero breaking with the great catch of fish. Few tish under twelve pounds are caught, the average being twenty-eight pounds weight; the meshes of the not acting liko the meshes of the law, letting the little fry slip through. A net is not reliable after boing used ono season, and fishermen prefer to have a new net as then thoy "know just where thoy aro." A great difference exists iu the quality of tho salmon at different points on tho river; in general the nearor the mouth tlie better the tish; when tho salmon come in first they are hard and firm of flush, all that aro caught here boing of the finest quali ty; further up tho river they become soft and flabby, and loso tho distinc tive flavor that marks tho true Colum bia river salmon. Near the bar is considered to be the best fishing ground, though fraught with danger to those who venture out too far. Tho record of loss of life is a dismal one, over sixty men having been lost last year. Tho style of operation is generally that a cannery gives a boat and outfit to two men, a "captain" and a "boat puller," they catch what they can, and are credited with two-thirds of tho value of all fish caught. Tho amount of money mado is with the fishermen, a question both of skill and luck; men have been known to clear one thousand dollars for their four months' work, but, in general, a man that can clear one hundred dol lars a month is considered as doing. pretty well. Tis a rough life, and tho boys earn the money they make. For Rent. Two splendid front rooms, suitable fort2Bce. Inquire of Alex Campbell. F.C.
