Business cards with tide table n back, at The for Oshing season Astoriax office. Among tho latest rumors is one to the effect that Weidler's mill is to be rsmoved to Columbia City. Mr. J. P. Miller has sold his place on Grays river, and will remove to Starks Point the coming season. Father Powers was taken to Port land yesterday morning, it being his wish to consult with a physician there. Grading has begun above Co lumbia City, and the St. Jacob's Oil man has already a big ad. on the quarried rocks. The Luproils gave an entertain ment at Liberty hall last evening which will be repeated with a change of programme to-night. Tho Shubrick has been laying beacon and range lights in the chan nel above last week, and started up again.yesterdaj' morning. The river boats are doing propor tionately as good business as tho ocean steamers. The travel is imtnenso, every passenger boat being crowded. Judge McGuiro is getting some fine stock on his place. It is his in tention this week to bring down a Norman stallion frcm the Willamette alley. Capt. A. W. Berry has been ap pointed Lloyd's commercial agent for this place, and in that capacity will transact all local business connected with Llovd's. Ross Bros, are running three large logging camps, ono being at Deep River: They employ about seventy-five men, and are getting out a large quantity of logs. A large sawmill is to be built at Skamockwa, just above the steamboat landing. Work began yesterday. It is for J. B. Montgomery, and we are informed it will cost $100,000. Special communication of Tem ple Lodge No. 7, F. & A. M. this evening at half past seven o'clock. Work on the"E. A. degree. Sojourn ing brethren invited to attend.

The American ship Helicon which arrired in from New York with rail road material Nov. 19th, came down the river yesterday. She goes to Port Blakely to load lumber for New Cale donia. An active boy that can read En glish and is willing to learn, can get a good chance by applying at The Ar TORIA.K office this morning from nine to eleven. No extraordinary smart ness required'. The latest development is the or ganization of a company who have ac quired a largo tract of fine timber land in this and Columbia counties. The intention is to put up a large sawmill and ship all lumber east. Work will begin by May 1st "The ITorthicest" for March is received. The compiler does not seem to have learned anything nor forgot ten anything since he issued the last number. The publication before us has a map of the Northwest, in which the name of ASTORIA is conspicuous by reason of its not appearing. Tho March moon fills on tho 23d at 1:20 o'clock in the evening. The full March moon plays an important part in the affairs of men. For as she fills three days after the vernal equinox, she determines, in accord ance -with tho law, that Easter shall fall -on the following Sunday, the 25th, and Easter in turn determines the movable feasts and fasts of the church. The short time intervening between the vernal equinox and the full of the moon brings Easter this "year within three days of the earliest date the festival can occur. In 1818 Easter fell on the 22d of March, tho earliest date possible. Such will not be the case again either in this or the fol lowing century. Oregon Fir Going East The immense amount of agricultural implements imported into this coun try from eastern states is something phenomenal. It seems as though their manufacture would pay here. Ves sels discharge thousands of tons of plows, threshing machines, fanning mills, hoes, rakes, pitchforks, churns, etc, stowed away in Xew York aud Philadelphia and carried around the Horn. We are doubty impressed with this fact on being told that there is a company now organizing who propose to cut Oregon fir and send it to Ohio factories to make up wood fittings for agricultural implements: the fact that good second growth oak and hickory are becoming scarce impels them to this, aud eastern manufacturers have demonstrated by experiment that Ore goM fir will make excellent fittings for Implements of farm use. If it pays to carry Oregon fir from the Columbia it will surely pay when this country fills up to make the castings, the steel and iron works here, and thus make the entire machinery on the Columbia. Columbia City. Columbia City seems to be having a little boom of its own. The following paragraphs are from the Celumbian: The N. P. R. R. are surveying tip the opposite side of the Columbia to Maxwell's Point opposite Columbia City. The 2s'. P. R. R, has commenced operations at Columbia City. They have surveyed out the streets etc., of tho city. About 1,200 worth of lots were sold at Columbia City on Wednesday. A Mr. Pinkney was one of the pur chasers. D. G. Caples and Hezekiah Caples sold last Saturday $1,800 worth of lots in Columbia City. "Tho Drunkard's Bride" was the name of a cleverly rendered recitation by little Kdith Conn at tho Baptist church laRt Sun iay evening. Attention is directed to the adv. of Wm. Plunder & Co.'s Oregon Blood Purifier. It is emphatically an Oregon production, is compounded with skill, and deserves considera tion. At the regular, meeting of the Astoria 'Longshoremen and Rigger's Association held at their rooms last evening, it was resolved that from date none but Astoria 'Longshoremen should be employed on vessels load ing or unloading below Walker's Island. See notice. J. E. Mayo, the contractor for the Odd Fellows' building now in process of completion, is also building a brick structure for tho Astoria Gas Light company. Last Saturday he signed a contract for a similar build ing in East Portland for the gas com pany lately organized in that place. The-Geo. W. Hume sawmill re cently bought by Dr. Kinney will be turned over to its new proprietor on April 1st. It will be run on its pres ent site for this season. A new mill will bo built on the water frontage abovo the city, recently purchased by Dr. Kinney, next year, when the present mill will be removed. Last Sunday morning a crowd of Chinese passengers were stopped at Morrison street wharf, Portland, on their way to the Fleetwood, for non payment of poll-tax. Captain Scott insisted that the official had no right to attempt collection of poll-tax on Sunday, and the matter ended by the heathens filing onboard to the num ber of thirty. The Boston Post believes that the idea of having state capitols in largo cities is all wron. "Have 'em in small towns," the Post says, "where the hotels are bad, variety shows scarce and the girls homely. Then you get Bhort sessions and quick ad journments." Should those ideas prevail we need never expect to have the state capital in Astoria. Now that the building of brick stores has become a settled fact tho establishment of a brick yard is in or der. We have splendid brick clay in the vicinitj', at Fort Clatsop, and elsewhere, and, in connection with the brick yard, pottery works could be made a profitable industry, the best quality of clay being now shipped to Portland from here for that purpose. Gas and Billiard Fixtures, Silver-plated basin coek, eta, very elegant and cheap, at Lorvea Bros., Plumbers and Gas Fitters, Chenamus street, opposite Deraent's Drug Store. Go and look at them. Recommended to me, the great OREGON BLOOD PURIFIER, I have obtained the most satisfactory and quickest result from the remedy ever know, and send me some more per Wells, Fargo & Co. for sick friends. H. C. Wilkinson; History Repeating Itself. The Albany Herald says that the spring of 1883 is similar in mair re spects to the spring of 18G1. In 1861 it cleared tip the last of January and tho month of February and two weeks of March were in all respects like the month of March 1883, thus far. Six weeks of beautiful weather at that time smiled upon the earth, without rain. Fanners finished seed ing, the roads presented a hard aud dusty surface, vegetation advanced rapidby, and about the middle of March it commenced raining, and for five weeks it came down steadily with scarcely any interval. The mud be came knee deep again, but the rains were warm aud grain and all kinds of vegetation grew without interruption and the crops were never excelled for quantity and yield. If the grain crop of 1801 repeats itself in 1883, we shall have good times next fall. The chamber of commerce held its regular monthly meeting last even ing. Communications were read from Spencer F. Baird, U. S. Fish com mission, and Hon, Clarence A. Sew ard, of New York. Documents were received from our state congressional delegations. After the transaction of some minor business tho meeting ad journed. A. W. Berry's establishment at Ranier is now in operation and is turning out a fine article of smoked smelt. From actual experience wo can say that the smelt thus prepared are of a fine flavor, and we have no doubt that when introduced on the market the demand will be fully up to the supply. Tho smelt are put through a smoking and curing process, then packed in air tight canB Holding trom eighteen to twenty-two smelt, and two dozen of these cans constitute a case. The smelt thus prepared are juicy and of a delicate flavor; thejr more resemble sardines than any thing else in the GbIi line to which we can comparo them. BED-HIDDEN AND CLUED. W. E. HunsTis, of Emporia. Kan sas, says that his wife had been sick nearly seven years, and for the last four months bed-ridden. She has been treated by a number of physicians and only grew worse. Her attention was called to Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medi cal Discovery" and "Favorite Pre scription," which she commenced us ing. In one week she could sit up, and in three weeks could walk about. By druggists. tnst Evciiiujr's Entertainment The Luproil combination appeared at Liberty Mail lastevenimr in one of their entertainments such as they have ren dered in Portland, during their six weeks engagement in that city. A fair house greeted the troupe, and the audi ence was evidently pleased with the several acts. The Moore sisters re ceived an encore which was cheerfully responded to, after which Harry Tyler and his eight trained dogs entertained the audience. Joe Carter as a clog dancer is hard to beat, and in character impersonation John Irwin made a hit The feature of the evening in our esti mation was the trapeze act of the Lu proils, Pauline and George. They are artistes in their profession aud should be seen. "The School for Scandal" closed the performance. It will be repeated this evening, aud those of our readers who want an entertaining evening should surely go; there will be an en tire change of programme. Good IVcu.. S.vx Fkaxcisco, March 17, 18S3.
