Tho Portland papers praise the new nre department for promptness and efficiency. The boys received a rough baptism Friday merning: two big fire"? and the thermometer near y.ero. Astoria presented a singular sight yesterday. The moon shining through the rifted clouds upon the white mantle of snow thxt covers the streeu and roofs, made the night unusually light. Another telegraph wiro will soon be erected between Kalama and Ta coma, and upon the completion of the road between the former point and Portlaud there will be a double line run on that route also. The escaped sailors from the Wilna were last heard from above Chinook point; Jas. MeCann, who brought the recent charges against the captain of the El Capitan goes to England on the Wilna. The books and papers of the Port laud board of trade were burned in the big Ore Friday morning. The files of the Orcgonian and Astomax will bo a valuable aid to them in pro curing data for reference. Otis' Mitchell was accidentally shot and killed, near Waldo, Jose phine countj', on January 4th. He was examining a pistol when it acci dentally exploded, and the contents entering his left side, caused instant death. A man from Young's river who throws a hatchet in a tree and then splits bullets on tho edge when asked the other day what he-was doing, said ho was "practicing. y He knows little aboutreefing or furling sail but is a bad man with a Smith & Wesson. Mr. Hoar has been re-elected United States senator from Massachu setts. A Boston paper kindly states that "Mr. Hoar is sour at tho stomach. Ho is also a humbug and much of a wind-bag. He puts his foot into everything." Nothing like getting the newspapers to siy a good word for you. The captain of the government boat Gen. Wright, on an afternoon recently ran'foul of the Lurline, near Swan Island, serionsly injuring the vessel. The same afternoon ho ruul the Latona ashore, nearly run down j the Brozee, and collided with tho Dixie Thompson. Ill-minded people think he is no pilot. Boatmen when they see him coming lay back their ears and fly to the bank, where they $i? tjll he and lus craft get by. Commendable Dispatch. Our hoaornble Senator, Jas.

On December 18th the chamber of commerce passed a memo rial to congress asking an appropria tion for and urging the immediate :ie eepsity of improving the entrance to the Columbia river.

Before his honor yesterday morning appeared John Riley, indicted for the crime of kidnapping, and. pleading guilty, was sentenced to eighteen months in the penitentiary: Victor Bergman also pleaded guilty to the charge of mayhem against him, and was fined $500. which he paid and was released.

It i.s a little trouble, but lack of having things in good shapo would entail a fearful loss if a fire ever starts here and gets away from us. We have "iifiicient warning on every side. The fire alarm at four o'clock yesterday afternoon was ocasioned by a burning chimney at Mrs. Trenchard's house The department was there almost immediately, but considerable difficulty was sustained in getting position. No. 2's engine wa3 taken to a point near Tmllinger's mill; lio. l's took water at Kinney's caunery. Hose was stretched, and by coupling was carried to the roof; when it was found that a part of tho pipe being frozon it was impossible to get a stream. Fortunately it was not needed. The Masonic Veteran Association of the Pacific coast held its fifth annual meeting on the 8th inst., in o&u xrancisco. ine organization is composed of the pioneer Masons of tho PaciCc Coast.

The Grande Rondo l'ot of January 12th, said: A party of Oregon Short Line .surveyors arrived in town yes terday from Sparta, and left on the evening stage for Lewiston,f rom which point they will commence a survey up Snake river to meet other com- names ot emnnoors wno are corams of encinoors who down. It appears that tho compmy f ntend to find out where the best route j through this country lies, for at the present time they have parties of sur veyors on Powder river, Pine and Eagle valleys, and two at work on Snake river. -i.t.:- i i: f . .i.l fitl, ,ri; Wn lirn from Mr. A. F. I Doromus, superintendent of construe- tion on the Oregon Short Line, that; the road had reached within twenty- seven miles of the Junction of the Wood river branch, and that that place will bo reached about February 1st, after which work will go on in laying the track of the Wood Bivcr branch. He thinks that they irili have the riad completed io Bellevue and Hailey early in the spring. As soon as the Junction in reached one gang of track layers will be pushed forward on tho mam line towards Boise. Engineers arc trying to find a route to Portland different from the Burnt river route, which was at first celected. Parties are working south of the Burnt riverrouto, while another party is running a preliminary line down Snake river to Lewiston, but it is thought this will bo impracticable. Tho Oregon Short Line will not go to Boiso. but pass fifteen miles south of that city. There is about seventy five miles of grade about completed west of the Wood river junction. Tho abovej and similar, items are daily appearing, the general purport being that tho Oregon Short Line want an ontlt to tide water, aud the generally accepted imprcKsion being that tho road is going io tho Sound. Vet it is an open question if the manager? could not do bettor be coming to Aaioria for thair ocean trrr'rr. wrote u -i... c .:at. (. o:u.. w icin Oregon, -it would ruin our business. We have baen driven with our stock from one place to another to seek a range that is not interfered with by.grain farraera, a'nd now if we have to give up this country, w? cannot go anywhere.'' And so we should have heard more of southeastern Oregon as & farming country if it were not for this effort to disparago it as a country well suited for the small farmer. This is the country that the Oregon Short Line would traverse if it were built to Astoria and Portland. It has an ex cellent soil, prairies and plateaus similar in general characteristics to those which may bo Jeen along the Columbia between tha Deschutes and John Day country. That region lying between Snake river on the east, Klamath on the south, and tho Cas cades, will support, in our opinion, very nearly as large a population as the Walla Walla country does. It needs a railroad, however, to give the incoming settler a market. It is in order hero to compare briefly tlit two routes by which the Oregon Short Line or Union Pacific railroad hare under consideration, in their scheme of reaching deep water terminus. Ono route leads from the mouth of the Malheur on Snako river, down the Snake to Lewiston; thence 180 miles to the mouth of that river, thence up the Yakima aud across the Cascades toSeattle. The total distance is about 520 mile3. For the first 180 miles there will be found very great engi neering difficulties. The cliffs along Snako river arc precipitous, and entail costly grading and tunneling. In our opinion that part of the route will cost double what the same distance would in an open country. There would not, however, be any compe tition with awy other road, for that distance, aud the local traffic might yield a moderate income. Tho next section of 200 miles, reaching to the foot of tho Cascades will average a cost of $20,000 to tho milo, and will be in competition with the N. P. and 0. R. fe N. companies every mile of its length. The last section of the road is through lh Cas cades and into Seattle. It will co3t 8,000,000 or more. Coal and timber will form 'tho local trafiic of this part of the proposed road, that business being likewise subject to re strict ion on account of the land gi mt to thcNorthern Pacific railroad, wL.ch lino will probably run through, the only pass availablo for both roads, ana wiu entail the keenest competi tion. Should the Astoria route be chosen the course of the railroad could fol low up the Malheur to Lake Harney and across the hoad waters of the Des chuts to the eastern slope of tho Cas cades. There wonld be no other rail road to interfere and there would be an abundance of rich, tillable land, ready for the plow of , the settler. Going on to tho west tho track could cross cither the Mackenzie or the Minto pass into the Willamette val- L , .,. , ough a country tarnishing a ley throu fair amount of business without any ,, ., , competition. 1-rom there tne railroad could reach Actoria by wav of Salem ', and Forest Grove. The total coil of t such a road from the mouth of the Malheur to Astoria, uould bt from four million to six million dollars les.s: , ., frni lrt c?llrt. ,.:, -.ww ..w i.w....J although the dietauco would be about ,. ,, ... ; the same.
