ASTORIA, OBEGON:
TUESDAY MARCH J3, 1KS3
H. B. Litt, of Portland, was in
the city yesterday on a flying visit.
Read the California storo adv.
They mean business and the sale is
bona Gdo.
Tom Merry, the genial editor of
the Sunday Orcgonian was in the city
yesterday. He leaves for Portland
this morning.
We are indebted to Capt. Chas.
F. Powell for government engineers'
reports with accompanying charts of
Columbia bar.
" At the conclusion of Dr. lands
ley's lecture last evening the associa
tion tendered him a unanimous vote
of thanks for his kindness.
We see by the Sacramento, Cal.,
Record-Union of the 2nd, that Miss
May Hobson, of Astoria, is visiting
that city, the guest of Mrs. M. S.
Grimes.
We regret to hear of tho serious
illness of Father Powers. He was in
town about a week ago, and then
complained of feeling poorly, and
yesterday his condition was such as
to excite apprehension.
It is reported that the smallpox
has broken out afresh at Weston. The
mayor of Walla Walla has quaran
tined that city, and tho necessity of
every precaution is recognized to stay
the spread of the disease.
The A. 0. U. W., of this city are
fast accumulating a fine solection of
standard books in their library.
Among the latest additions is a com
plete set of Bancroft's ''Native
Races of the Pacific Coast.'
We were yesterday shown a relic
of the days "when tho old continentals,
in their ragged regimentals" battled
for the infant republic, aud won from
George III a recognition of American
independence. It is the property of
Gustav Hansen, and is a continental
currency dollar, bearing date Aug.
4th, 1779; it is the first of the kind we
havo seen on the coast and is a rare
curiosity.
Fog and sun battled for suprem.
acy yesterday; about noon the sun
shine had conquered all but a little
gleaming atrip along the river, but
soon the gray wreaths rolled in greater
volume from tho southwest and wrap
ped everything in shadow. The State
came in, though deemed impossible;
there was no movement of any kind
upon the water; the river boat drop
ped down at dusk, under a slow bell.
The Chinese gardens on the
lower part of the peninsula afford a
Cood example of what patient thrift
can accomplish. These industrious
heathens have by care and toil trans
formed unsightly hillsides into ferlile
tracts of soil, now sown with every
variety of vegetable and sure to bring
them a handsome return. They are
all at work, digging, manuring, and
opeuing up fresh ground; everything
is utuizea; even tne nones are
pounded up and fed to tho hens, and
each little cabin has half a dozen fat
hogs, which at the presentprice of pork
represent a considerable amount.
The New Road.
A stroll down the water front pre
sents a good many subjects of interest
and worthy of comment. Just below
Trullinger's mill the canners have
"built a substantial roadway forming a
continuation of Concomly street. At
present it runs below tho Washington
Packing company's buildings and is
Teing rapidly extended on a curve
line to join the old county road on
the bank. This road in its continuity
will constitute an attractive thorough-
xare. it snouia De ouut in a .perma
nent manner, and if so done will be
of great value. There is here a chance
for a fine ocean drive, the material is
at hand, plenty room, sufficient peb
bles, etc., to make a substantial road
bed, and the growing city needs just
such an outlet. Continuing this road
down to Smith's point, where it will
connect with the road to Skipaaon
will enable our summer visitors to
take a drive throagh some of the pret
tiest scenery in tho nerthwest: it will
afford sure communication with our
Seaside and Skipanon neighbors and
be of mutual benefit to all.

Captain Korts Convicted.
The official report of the loss of
the collier Tacoma was rendered at
San Francisco last Saturday. After
viewing at length the testimony ad
duced during the investigation it goes
on to state that tho evidence in rela
tion to the course steered after leaving
Cape Flattery is very conflicting, and
inspectors arc obliged to rely entirely
upon that of the first officers. The
courses given bjr Korts are highly im
probable under the circumstances, as
he states that the ship, on passing
Flattery rocks.steercd southwest, then
south by east, and he could not re
member changing tlie course at noon
to south east by east. It was his duty
to know this, as he was on deck most
of the time taking courses, which the
watch officers declare was steered in
a draught of fifteen miles in twelve
hours, which the captain admits pre
vails from Cape Flattery to sixty
miles south of the Columbia river,
and the heave of the sea towards land
would place the ship very near to tho
point where she struck, allowing for
the deviation of the compass which
was also known by him. He states in
his evidence that on a run of fourteen
miles to Cape Flrttery rocks, he found
the Tacoma was three miles' nearer
shore than she should havo been on
the course steered, and this should
have warned him to give her a course
more to seaward. The inspectors find
that land was plainly visible on the
afternoon of the 29th, at an estima
ted distance from ten to fifteen miles,
and conclude that if Captain Korts
had consulted tho charts at the time
ho would have discovered that tho
vessel was out of her proper course,
and nearer land than she should have
been. Moreover, he had the surface
of the ocean lying outside him
wherein to navigate, and there
was no ocasion for aud no
advantage gained by being within
forty miles of the coast, as the course
from Cape Flattery to San Francisco
is direct for forty-six or forty-seven
miles, and would take him twenty-fivo
or thirty miles clear of Cape Mendo
cino before there was any necessity of
changing. Relative to his leaving the
ship the inspectors sj.y they consider
he acted very unwisely and unseaman
lik?. It was a grave error on his part
as master, and he should not have
been influenced by anybody. His
plea that ho had no officer who could
be trusted to go ashore is a trail one,
as ho had officers of great experience
and worthy of confidence. They be
lieve that after he landed he did
everything possible to save the Hvcb
of those on the wreck, and took every
means to secure assistance. The re
port closes by saying that the inspect
ors can arrivo at no other conclusion
than that Captain Korts navigated the
Tacoma, after passing Cape Flattery,
with gross negligence, aud that he did
not maintain that degree of discipline
necessary on board of steam vessels.
There being no fault found with any
of his officers, nor any blame attached
to them, the inspectors hold the cap
tain wholly responsible, on account of
this gross negligence on his part,
thereby causing the loss of the steamer
on the night of January 29th, and
order the suspension of his license as
master and pilot of steam vessels for
two years.
School Meeting.
At the school meeting last evening
the report of the committee to whom
was referred the report of the clerk at
the previous meeting, was read and
accepted. The question of building
the new schoolhousc was discussed,
and it was finally decided that a
schoolhousc be built of larger dimen
sions than originally contemplated,
the funds to be raised by procuring a
loan, bonds for which will be issued.
It is thought that this method will
succeed in getting , schoolhouse that
-will be adequate for present and
future needs, without entailing an on
erous tax as a preliminary to its con
struction. A committeo consisting of
Messrs. Upshur, Hawcs and Surpre
nant was appointed to act in con
junction with the directors.
A I.ady Fainted on Main Street.
Quite a little excitement for the mo
ment yesterday afternoon was caused by
the sudden fainting of a lady on Main
street A doctor was at once sent for,
who on arriving, pronounced the case
as a severe attack of sheriffoneilism.
The lady on reviving, being questioned,
explained that a lricnd of hers had
passed in an elegant cashmere suit,
whom she had casually asked what it
had cost, and being told the marvelous
and hardly credible low price it was
purchased at, the news that goods
could possibly be sold so cheap caused
the sudden indisposition which over
whelmed her. It is hardly necessary
to say that she has made up her mind
to visit Sheriff O'XcU's Bankrupt store
and see for herself how goods can pos
sibljr,be bought so cheap.

Dr. Iiindsley's Lectures.
Seldom have we seen a larger or
more attentive audience in Astoria
than that which assembled last Sun
day in the Congregational church, the
occasion being the anniversary ser
vices of the Y. M. C. A. After hearing
the report of the secretary and treas
urer, the chairman introduced Rev.
A. L. Lindsley, who in an address of
an hour's duration portrayed the ne
cessity of such organizations, their
good and practical usefulness, and
urged upon his hearers the necessity
of making the tenets of the society not
so much a silent precept as an active
duty. The keynote of his discourse
was the aphorism attribtntcd to Om
nipotence. "The Nation that shall net
believe in Me shall perish."- The per
oration was a gem of oratorio diction.
He said that on the wooded heights
above our city of the star were two
forms, the geniu3 of patriotism, the
genius of Christianity; the one ap
pealed for the rights of freedom, for
the appliances that perpetuate liberty
and human rights; tho other in gen
tler tone pleading tho cause of Chris
tian progress, and the strengthening
of all influence for good. At the
close of the admirable lecture, it was
announced that on the following even
ing Dr. Lindsley would deliver a lec
ture at the Presbyterian church for
tho benefit of tho Y. M. C. A. Ac
cordingly a small audience assem
bled at that place last evening. The
lecturer's theme was "An unknown
inventor, author and hero." In
a few graceful words of pre
face the lecturer paraphrased the
idea that "Peace hath hor victories
no less renowned than war,' and
pointed to the life of an obscure and
almost forgotten "French artist, by
name Bernard Pallisy. This man who
lived and died three hundred years
ago was an enthusiast, and passion
ately devoted to art. Ho conceived
beautiful designs in pottery and
keramic ware, and suffered every pang
of painful poverty in his inability to
realize his hopes. On one occasion
by menial toil he had earned enough
to buy a little wood to feed the fur
nace in which was baking his beloved
bisque, but at the critical moment his
fuel gave out; he seized an ax and
smashing the furniture hurled the
fragments into the furnace amid the
outcries of his wife and children. By
his neighbors he was looked upon as
a madman, but he eventually demon
strated to his country his right to
be enrolled on fame's eternal bead
rolL Dr. Lindsley did full justice to the
character of this man and invested the
history of the struggle of that soul
with a charm peculiarly his own. Ho
is an earnest speaker, and appeals Xo
the sensibilities and sympathies of his
audience. Wo understand that the
proceeds will go far toward pla cmg
our Astoria brauch of tho Y. M. C.
A., on a secure financial basis.
The Kalama Branch?
A New York dispatch of tho 10th
says: Vice-President Oakej informed
a reporter that the contract for
the road between Portland and Ka
lama has been signed with J. B. Mont
gomery & Co. Length 40 inilas, to
be completed September 1st. The Co
lumbia river will be crossed by an iron
ferryboat capable of carrying thirty
cars at once, and which has been ship
ped in sections to Portland, to arrive
September 1st. The ferry will be
worked like that at Havre de Grace
on tho Pennsylvania road some years
ago. iiesides this road thero now re
mains 288 miles m Montana, which,
when completed, will give through
connection from Lake Superior to
Portland. Over 100 miles of this has
been graded, and all will be completrd
by September.
"What ia Needed.
Wide West is to bo put on a
Tin
daily route between this city and As
toria, leaving here at about 5 a. m.,
and Astoria at about 3 p. M., making
the round trip each day. This is
what is needed. The little tub that 13
running is a nuisance and an aggrava
tion; makes passengers seasick. With
tho new arrangements, peoplo cau go
to Astoria, havo a few hours to spend,
and return the same day, which will
be a great convenience. Standard.
