It will be built in two spans so as- to give as little lodgment as possible for sand, which has filled in rapidly around the old wharf. When the old whaif was com pleted, two years ago, there was scv teen feet of water at low tide, now there is none,"and that depth of water cannot be found within sixty feet Changes in the channel of the Colum bia seem to cause the sand to bo de posited there instead of on Sand island as heretofore.

The now steamship, Qwcu 0 the Pacific, left Spear street dock, San Francisco, at 10 o'clock last Sunday morning, and arrivedhcre yesterdays f ternoon at one o'clock. The dock was a scene of animation as the new steamer floated up the bay. i The State of California had come down and was raudy to go to sea, but lay by and silntcd her new sister; the ships in the harbor were gay with flags and streamers, and over the rip pling water in the blight sunlight of an Astoria afternoon the beautiful stranger swung to the dock. The scene was oik- for an armt. The ex ceeding hi'.iutyof the day had brought out a lavge number of ladies and chil dren who went down "to sue the new ship.'' The flashing emerald water gleamed brightly where the current of the Columbia and the flood tide met, the decks of the steamers and the roofs of the adjacent houses were black with peeple: foity flags fluttered in the breeze, and from Tongue point to the sea from even' vessel that carried canvas hung out a ugn of welcome. The Wide West, with C. H. Prcscott, manager O. R. S:N. Co., Capt. Oco. Ainsworth and others, had come down to lake off Capt. 1 Ingot and lady, who though belonging to the Princess Louise company had chosen this way of going to Victoria, and cat lied them to Kalama where a special train was in wailmg to speed them on their way to the North. As soon as the vessel was moored, she was visited by a large number of our citizens who were unanimous m their praise of her beautiful appearance inside. It is a question in the minds or many whether she will beat the record of the State of California, but as all the vessels of the luic make satisfactoiy time, the question of ;in hour or so more or less is of sccondaij' consideration. She had a large passenger list -102 in the cabin and forward were an unusual number of immigrants. Her pendant is blue and white with her name emblazoned thereon, and the house flag is that of the P. C. S. Co. At the lime of her depaiture from Philadelphia we published an extended account of the vessel, but present further particulars in regard to her fittings and appointments. She was launched and made ready for sea by Messrs Cramp ' Sons, of Philadelphia, during last Miiy, and is said to be one of the finest specimens of naval architecture afloat, her mod el, proportions, design and finish go ing to make up what may be teimed a most beautiful ship. The grand sal oon 13 finished in oak, finely gnrned and most elaborately decorated with the finest catvings that ever graced any vessel, the style being a combina tion but leaniug to the Renaissance. The cei'mg is of uai row oak strips. laid in angles, the beams and carlms being relieved by mahogany moldings, aud carved niitci pieces so curiously blended as to give a rich and very pleasing etiect. The tables are of solid mahogany, and pendent over them from the ceiling are the tumbler and wine glass racks, between which areclcctiic chandeliers. In thcaftcrparl of the s-iloon prop er are thirteen staterooms, each six feet four inches wide, ten feet deep, and seven feet six iuches high, mak ingthem the largest staterooms of any steamer now in use. Au air port fif teen inches in diameter, gives all the necessary light and ventilation. Each room communicates with the pantry by electric bell, and each is lighted by an Edison incandescent 1'ght sus pended from the ceiling in addition to an oil lamp. The walls and ceil ings are laid in flat j white, the trim mings bc'iig in mahogany and oak with Hungarian ash polished panels in the mirror cases. The wash stands are marble-topped, incased in wood, and elevated on a fluted and highly decorated column. When not in use they can be covered b' a mahogany top, thus forming a side table. Jn each room is a sofa, Uiuimcd with maroon plush, while the floor is cov ered with a dark-ground heavy pat tfftn of like colors. In each room t jere are three berths, all of which throughout the vessel are furnished with a "Saratoga' spring bottom. The two upper ones are twenty-eight inches aud the lower thirty eight iu ches wide. A staircase leads from the main saloon to what is called the so cial hall. It is profusely and elegant ly carved, the newel posts being par ticularly noticeable. They arc sur mounted by splendid electric lights. Both the sides and the ceiling of the hall are finished in rich and deep tinted mahogany panels, relieved I13 moldings and carvings. The forward end is embellished by an imineiihc plate glass mirror, aud the opposite end is finished off by a magnificently encased piano, flanked by two library cases, containing about 250 volumes of excellent works. Lounges encircle this hall on both aides. bridal chamber, 12x12, finished in a styie to please the most fastidious, Both arc liuishcd alike 111 mahogany! aud oak, with delicate satin wood mouldings. The main appointments ! of these quarters for the accoimnoda tiou ot newly married couples, arc; cel.ent quality 01 Gsh, which, it V - finely and delicately upholstered bed-1 served . wiU afford the people of the i steads. In addition to these are waid-'siau- and adjoining tenitories. a deli-! . rob.. tables and sofas, lhe sides and ceiling:', are covered with bronze paper of .lapanevj pattern. On the. main staircase is :i ciiciilardome, four-j teen feet in diameter and six feet high! from the base. It is made in twenty two segments, and the filling is of fig- 1 11 red stained gl.iss. From its center is suspended a jeweled electric chande-jthe lie;. Along the hurricane deck are j sixteen more staterooms, each as well J appointed as those in the main saloon.! At the after end of the house is a smoking room, finished in mahogany and oak, aud furnished with leather covered lounges and chairs and card tables. The vessel is provided with eight metallic life boats, ten Calkins life rafts, surplus cork jackets, and an abundance of lire pumps and hose. The Qnwn of Thr I'uafc is 00G feet long, 3S.G beam, 22.fi hold and HO feet to awning deck, She is 2727.80 urns, 1200 tons cargo capacity, and 100 tons bunker capacity. Her en gines arc of ,000 horse power, and she has a maximum speed of engine of 80 turns a minute, which with 100 pounds of steam, will give her a speed of JG knots an hour. Her total cost is estimated to be o00,000. Thayer on Salmon Hatching. In his message to thel2th Oregon leg islature, 611 the 11th insl.jGov. Thayer, in the course of sonic extended re marks, gave utterance to thj follow big, respecting salmon fishing, in gen eral, in the Columbia river: A few years ago steps were taken by cci tain parties interested in the pres ervation of those fisheries to establish what is termed a hatching-house for the propagation of salmon. They were induced to engage in the undertaking in order to pi event the cxtcimmation of that species of fish. They secured certain aid from the LTnited States, and the legislative assembly of 187S passed an act to create the otlicc of fish commissioner for the Columbia river, to license the taking of salmon in said river and its liihutaiies, and to encourage the establishment of such hatch'ug-house. The legislature of Washington Teiritoiy had already passed an act for the saino purpose, which, by its terms, was to become operative when the legislature of Ore gon should enact a similar statute. The license provided in said act re quired the payment of a certain sum upon the boats, nets, and traps cm ployed in said business. It also re quired the payment of a cei tain sum to be made by certain of the persons engaged in the business. This money was to be paid to such fish commis sioner, and was to be paid over by him to any company furnishing satis factoiy evidence to the effect that such hatching-house had been estab lished and had hatched salmon with which said river had been stocked and supplied. The imposition of the tax provided by the license quite naturally occa sioned great dissatisfacticn on the part of those who were required to pay it; and, as a matter of course, the validity of the act was questioned, aud it be came tho subject of judicial investi gation. The courts of Washington Tcni torj decided that their statntc was a perfect nullity, upon the ground that the provision in regaid to the time when it should go into operation was illegal and the circuit court of Oregon in the fourth judicial district held that the provision of onr statute upon the sub ject was unconstitutional, on the ground that tho money to be paid to the commissioner and by him dis bursed should have been required to be paid into the state treasury and paid out in pursuance of appropria tions duly made. The result was that the hatching-house enterprise failed, as the salmon of the Columbia river are vciy like to do within a few years. unless stringent measures an; adopted to prevent it. Thcie is at present a statute icgu- lating those fisheries tho act approved October 10, 187S. It restricts the time of taking the fish to certain months, limits the size of the meshes of the nets and seines employed in the business, provides what distance apart the slats shall be in the fish traps, and prohibits fishing on certain days within the months in which the fish are allowed to be taken. Its provisions are probably observed where they do not conflict with inter ests of the parties engaged in the bui- jncss. Whenever that occurs they aie doubtless considered as violative of 'some great natural right. That is the 'such subjects who are interested in the l matter. They appreciate the ad van- tagen to themselves, and are oblivious to every other consideration. Nature has bountifully supplied the -'0..umhi:i river witn salmon, a vei vex-' . -- I j catt ;.ud -ubsuuitial aiticloof food for ' ;, jll future time.

One of two modes should be adopt ed. Either shorten the period in which salmon are allowed to be taken during the .season, and regulate the kind and character of the appliances to be employed in taking them, so as to catch only the larger sized fish; or limit, the catch of a season to a specific number. Either mode may require the appointment of an officer invested with an authoiity to enforce 'the pro visions of the regulation, but the exi- oncy of the case will justify it. Some rigorous measure must jbe adopt ed to prevent the extitpation of those valuable fish from the waters of the Columbia river. In connection with the act creating the office of fish commissioner, 1 .wish to call your attention lo the report, of .1. W. Cook, Esq., president of the Oregon and Washington Territory Propagating eompaivy, dated Jauuaiy 21, 1881. which you will find on file in the executive office. That compay organized to establish a hatching house, and furnished evidence to the fish commissioner of the establishment of the same. And of hating hatched salmon with which said river had been stocked and supplied. The fish com missioner, supposing the law to be valid, and having received, by way of licenses under it. a considerable sum, paid oyer to the said comp.iiry a por tion thereof, as by siid act provided. The report of Mr. Cook sets out the account relating thereto, and .-hows a balanco 01 his hands of 400. (il, for which he ?$ ready to account to any .properly authorized person. His course in the affair has been very hon orable and ctinces a disposition to do what is right in the premises; but 1 am at a loss to know how the state will be able to adjust the matter. Sttictly, th:s money should be paid back to the paities who paid it originally, if they could be ascertain ed, which would be veiy difficult in deed, it being public matter, how ever, I have deemed it proper to in form 3'oti regarding it.
