One of tlio city prisoners is em ployed sweeping tho streets. The school closedon tho 1st- at Columbia City Mr. Brower teacher. Tho C003 Bay Jfewa thinks that the cannery tipon tho SiuMaw will be started up this season. The lightning speed with which the mail is distributed is a source of pleasure to all concerned. Portland spent 81,371 4G for her school during the fiscal yoar ending March 1st; a good showing. 'Tis aaid that President Arthur acknowledges no superior when it comes to playing the banjo. It is stated that tho Columbia steamer Mountain Queen, will be taken to tho Sound thi3 season. Tho Sam, yesterday brooght a. raft of 100,000 feet of fir from Titus Adams, on John Day, to G. W. Hume. Thero is considerable activity among tho loggers, and every camp is making preparations for tho coming season. Cunkling declines the seat on tho -supreme bench. He has a better idea of propriety than tho man who of fered him the position. The1 Columbia dropped down to the bar at 1:30 yesterday. At 1:45 tho Oregon, with an extra heavily-loaded signal gun, awoke the echoes as sho steamed in to tho dock. Mr. Carl Adler and bride arrived at homo on yesterday's steamer. Con gratulations will be in order for the remainder of the week. British Columbia, with 25,000 peoplo, will need $380,000 for running expenses thfe year. Washington Ter ritory, with four times tho population, will need but one-fourth of that amount. Tho Liquor Dealers' Piotectivo Union of Oregon have filed articles of incorporation with tho Secretary of State, under the act providing for tho incorporation of churches, religious, benevolent and charitable societies. The duration of tho society is un limited. The object is to protect, by all lawful means, all those who may be engaged in legitimate and honorable business concerning tho purchase and sale of malt and spirituous liquors, etc. A novel ochemo for catching fish ia put in daily practice at Burlington, Iowa, by Follett, a diver, who, clad in his suit, descends into tho river at'tho end of the draw of tho railroad bridgo, and with a largo hook snags largo catfish that congregato in that placo.whore the eddying water destroys the force of tho current. Tho fish are very sluggish and easily caught, and the work of one day resultod in 'the catching of nearly 1,500 pounds ""of fish, averaging twenty pounds each. 'Tis thought that the Northern PiciGc railroad, in all probability, will experience some trouble in tho Crow Indian country, Montana, the coming summer. Tho Crow country is rich in gold and silver, and tho white man having discovered this, is encroaching on tho right of tho Indians and stak ing off their lands into claims. Col. Brisbin gives warning that tho Crows will mako a bold stand for thoir homes, oven to tho taking up of arms against the Government. Thoy number 1,500 fighting men, but tho regulars are beiug moved up in that direction from oast and west in force sufficient to prevent any serious rosultj. Announcement. Tho National Surgical Institute of Indianapolis, with branches at Phila delphia, Atlanta, Ga., and Sin Fran cisco, which has a national reputation, will permanently establish :i branch r.t Portland, Oragon. Two of the skilled snrgcons of .this institute prepared with overj- ncodud apparatus for tho successful treatment of cripples will meet all the old vnticnts and such now ones as may desire treatment, this year, at tho following places: Port land, at St. Charles Hotel, April 8ih, 10th and 11th; Albany, April 12th and. 13th; The Dalles, April 17th; Walla Walla, April 10th and 20th; and Seattle, April 23th and 20th, and hereafter at Portland, Oregon, on the first two weeks of May and November of each year, commencing Nov. 1882. Beware of nil traveling Doctors who may claim to represent any other in stitute, for this is the only Surgical Institute on thU coast with facilities and experience for the treatment of deformities. J. M. Hikkle. M.D., Gr.o. 15.11 and v, M. D. Surgeons in clurge, National Surgical Institute, 319 Bush St., S. P. PootioaL In speaking of tho Columbia river, a writer in tho February number uf the West Shore, says: At its mouth -Cape Hancock .stands, a mighty scntinol of overia3ting rock, bathed on one side by the irin Co lumbia, and lashed by loud surges of the Pacific on the other. A fine bea con surmounts the capo, and its wel come light can bs seen fur twenty miles at sea, while great black guns frown from among tho firs their ever ready protection. Bum stone's throw from tho sea-beaten rocks, to tho lee ward of the cape, quietly rests tho military post called Fort Canby, after General Canby of Modoc celebrity, smiling in tho genial sunshine. How liko life it is! On one side tho poor atorm-toed soul is dashed hither and thither, a constant struggle for exis tence, whilo. but a spin away on the other is the haven of safety whero everything is peace and happiness for over. Baker's bay, as tba little cove is called on the cast siilo of tho capo, is a safo and deep hirbor, and is often nsed a3 an anchoring placo by ocean steamers and ships awaiting favorable tides. Tho fortifications at Ft. Canby arc a constant source of interest to visitors at the Capo who aro especially numerous during tho summer season. It has been truly said, that whilo Cape Hancock is a barrier agiinst storms it is also a guide for tho waters of the Colnmbia, and that if nature had only erected a similar haad of laud on tho other side of its mouth or. the Oregon &ido of tho river, the dangers of the Columbia bir would be un known, for the lav would luro no existence. School Meeting. At a school meeting hold in tho school house of district No. 1, last Slonday evening, Mrs. I. E. Parker was elected school director for a term of three years tho first instance of a lady's being elected to that position in tne state ami J. u. Hustler was elected clerk for tho ensuing year. A school tax of fuiir mills was levied for the current expenses of the ensuing school year. The subject of buildini; a new school houso was brought up, tho unanimous opinion of those pres ent being in favor of tho project. It was finally decided that a special meeting be called, at which tho sub ject be given the fullest discussion and a definite conclusion mrived at. Thero was also a meeting in the other school district, but wo were un- ablo to got any account of what was done. New Tuga. Mayor Thompson, on his return from tho East last week, brought specifications fur two tug boats of groat power and speed, tho plans hav ing bem drawn with special refcrctico to tho Columbia river bar. Tho spccl fications are from a New Jersey yard where tho only strictly firat class American tugs aro built. Tho boat are to be of iron and complete in every detail of power and general ex cellence. Compared with tho tugs now in servico on the bar, they will be giants, and either of them cnuld tow tho whole fleet backward. They will cost a littio less than100,000. Ortgonian, 7th.

Several i( tho canneries havo iil leady sold their catch for tho coming season at satisfactory prices, and, ue understand, negotiations aro going on looking to the sale of uinro on tho same terms. The difference in tho price of salmon during tho last twolvo or fourteen years illustrates how necessary it is to have such an admirable ujstem as the present to insure any profit. Tho first attempts at cinuing, were, nec essarily, experimental; now the in.it ftr is so thoroughly understood that not one-tenth of the loss unsue? that prevailed up to within a few years ago. For the last few seasons the greater part of the canneries roceivo their fish directly from the fishermen's boats; the fish are cleaned, washod, dried, and laid on tables under hugo knives and slicod up; then comes tho putting into cans, each can holding a pound of the back and belly; "all back would bo too dry; all belly too rich," says our informant, so n happy medium is struck and all unwholesome sequels avoided in this way. Then comes tho soldering of tho cans, and thu cooking. Hero is tho critical part of tho work; tho parties in charge liko everyono else in charge of anything must un derstand wh-it they are doing, or fail ure is tho result. After tho cans ore cooked for an hour or so holes are mado to allow all air to escape, then sealed up and again hoiled for another hour, after which the supposition is that there are no "swell heads" likely to como out of the.batch. Time was when as high as eight per cent, of bad cans were found; now, if one half of one per cent, must be "thrown away, it 13 considered as misfortune, tending as it docs to diminish materially tho profit upon the investment. To buy fish and lose them, would, in itself bo bad enough, but a pound tin of canned salmon represents loss of fish, tin, lalnr, insuranco, freight, fuel, sup plies, and, worst of all, if not taken out, lots of reputation for tho cannery. This testing is douo by men who havo reason to claim cxportness, and is tho most Critical part of tho performance. After the testing comes tho labeling. Thcso labels aro ornamental affairs, gotton up in all the gorgeous glory of crimson aud blue, and gold and scar lot, and aro the exclusive property of tho cannery in question, though, sometimes it happens that outside parties in California aud elsewhere mark their canned salmon "'Columbia river salmon," and foist an inferior article on the market in that way. No other salmon h3 the genuine flavor that makes tho Columbia catch so universally sought after. From tho time tho unsuspecting salmon finds himsolf in a gill net, till ho is sliced, canned, cooked and boxed, ho passes through fifty hands and in as expeditious a manner "as in the famous hog killing and pork pr.cking establishments of Cincinnati and Chi cago. Very iittlo salmon is salted, tho littio that 13 packed in that way being chiefly meant for local demand. In former years attempts have boon made at various times to pack meats, fruits, vegetables, etc., but owing to causes that could not bo foreseen, such attempts wore not successful. This year three of tho canneries at this place intend to pack beef and mako an attempt to put tho packing of fruits on a penninont basis. The packing of moats, could, we think, bo mado pay from tho start; from the scarcity of fruits in this v'ctnity it would seem as though tho effort to establish any canning would bo ex ceedingly difficult; Just step around and mm Adler's new stoct ot novelties.
