1 fi?li.c SUtiln sXaviuuu ' ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY MARCH 22, 1883 The Columbia crossed out at one o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Ullock lias a pilot oh board. A barkentir.e, supposed to bo the Me lancthon, seventeen days from San Francisco, is also outside. The tug Tacoma recently towed a raft from Samish to Tacoma, contain ing 2,500,000 feet of los, the largest single raft ever towed on the Sound. The Standard flouring mills at Milwaukie were sold to the Sellwood real estate company last week for $35,000. Possession was given Tues day. J. O. Bozorth arrives down from Portland this evening, at which place, he, on Tuesday evening, insti tuted a new lodge of Knights of Pythias. A local paper speaking of the death of a prominent citizen says"he has gone to that bourne from which, as yet, no traveler has returned." "As yet" is good. At a special meeting of the city council last evening an ordinance was passed providing for the improvement of certain portions of Cedar street and estimating the cost, The repairs to the Canby are about completed, and the vessel goes on her regular Cape route to-morrow. The Miles is billed to leave for Gray's harbor to-morrow morning. The editor of the Philadelphia Ledger has forty-six clocks in his office, but when ho wants to know the time he has to go across the street, just as we do to look in Hansen's window. A correspondent of the Eureka Cal., Times-Telephone, says he saw a fallen tree in Humboldt Co., Cal., which would, if sawed, produce 435, 000 feet lumber. That is a big 1 tree. J. F. Boyer, grand master of the I. O. O. F., of Oregon, has granted a dispensation for the public celebration on April 2Gth, of the G4th anniversary of the introduction of the order in this country. Up the valley fruit trees are blos soming, and the cherry and plum trees are "clothed like a bride." They are, we fear a little too previous, but this sunshine would make an old boot leg sprout. To-day being the great fast of Holy Thursday there will be appro priate service at the Catholic church at 8 a. M., to-morrow the Fast of Good Friday, mass will be celebrated at the same hour. Launch 'of the A. B. Field. Yesterday witnessed the starting out of another steamer of Astoria manufacture, the A. B. Field, a de scription of which was published in these columns two weeks ago. The ways were all ready last Tuesday, but Aler McKenzic, who had charge of the work from the start, concluded the tide was hardly high enough and waited for twenty-five hours more. At 11.15 yesterday morning the shores and wedges wero knocked away and the pretty little steamer .floated gracefully in the Columbia. She was taken in tow by the Sam, and carried to upper town, where she will be flnished. Steam will be got up in a few days, and about the first prox. she will go ou her regular trips between Astoria and Tillamook. Medical Lecture. Speaking of Mrs. Anna ML. Potts, M. D., whose announcement appears in the advertising columns this morn ing, the Orcgonian says sho took a wide range in her lecture, and dis cussed the physical creation of tho earth as well as tho origin of specio3, and the physiological laws of health. To say that the lecture was au able and comprehensive one, abounding in thought and scin till ant with bright ness, is to pay but a meagre compli ment to the effort. She is clear in her statements and forcible in her de ductions, and has rare power of ar resting tho attention and exciting the reflective faculties of her auditors. The ladies seemed to bo held particu larly rapt, and frequently expressed their sympathy with the lecturer by audible exclamation. Washington Territory papers say the Sunday law is a dead letter, and that it should, do either enforced, or repealed. There are plenty such ordinances and laws south as well as north of tho Columbia river that should be either enforced or expunged from tho statutes. Notice of Distribution. Local inspectors of steam vessels of the first, second, third, eighth, ninth and tenth supervising districts have been notified that there aro sent to them immediately, for distribution upon the steamers in their districts, copies of the pilot-rules for "seas, gulfs, lakes, bays, sounds and rivers. Each steamer in the various districts must be supplied with two copies of the amended rules, prior to April, 1883, at which time it is directed that the new rules shall go into operation. Owners, masters aud pilots can pro cure copies by calling upon Capt. J. D. Merryman at the custom house. The regular spring installment of stories concerning snakes and liz ards ejected from human stomachs, is fully up to former seasons. Sea ser pent stories arc a little delayed, and the ninety year old man who chops three cords of wood before breakfast, and the 103 year old lady who has just finished a patch work quilt with 32.4G7 pieces m it, have not been heard from so far. Senator Qrover'a Views. Senator Grover arrived on the Ore gon, trom wasnington. xo a uironi cle reporter he said in responso to va rious questiens: "The jnost import ant measure to us before congress during tho last session was tho bill for improving tne ooiumoia river, la quiua bay and other rivers and har bors of this coast, Tho bill originated in the house, which it passed, and was sent to tho senato so short a timo before its adjournment that no action could be taken on it. "Another important bill, which got through both house, was one increas ing the pay of deputy government surveyors of California, Oregon and Washington Territory fifty per cent, above former rates. Heretofore it has been a difficult matter to secure deputy surveyors for government work on this coast on account of the meager salaries paid. "Late in the session a petition was received from residents of San Fran cisco and other places on this slope, asking that the fortifications intended for the protection of the San Francisco harbor, the San Diego harbor and tho mouth of tho Columbia river be im proved. The petition was very favor ably considered by the committee on military fortifications, of which I was chairman, and I am confident that had there been time for action after its receipt a desirable bill would have passed both houses without much op position. "The reason why Washington Terri tory was not admitted to the Union as a state at the recent session was that her census roll did not show sufficient population to warrant her admission. By the next session she will probably make a better showing and may then bo admitted. "The matter of revoking the land grant of tho Northern Pacific railway on account of its having failed to complete its line through from St. Paul to Portland within tho specified time was before congress, but as it was shown that the work of construction had been pushed forward as rapidly as possible, congress concluded to not disturb the grant. In conversation with President Villard of that line, a few' days ago, ho told me that the road is completed with the exception of a gap of 200 miles, which will all bo in readiness for rolling stock by the 1st of August. On the completion of tho Northern Pacific and Oregon Short Line roads Portland will loom up as a dangerous rival to San Francisco, occupying about the same relation to this place that Boston does to New York. Portland will have a shorter route to tne east ana win stand an equal chance in competition for Asiatic trade." it m m ARRIVAL OF O O D S DIRECT FROM r -AT- Yesterday was the equinoctial; at noon great masses of fog swept in from tho ocean, obscuring the warm sun and chilling the atmosphere; toward nightfall the clouds banked themselves in the seuthwest: our extraordinarily long spell of fine weather comes to a close. The children in a certain school wore recently asked to write a sen tence embodying tho word capillary. Ono girl wrete: "I camo from San Francisco in a capillary," and when asked what she meant, triumphantly pointed out the word in Webster's dic tionary "Capillary, a fine vessel." The following is an advertisement in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: T WILL GIVE A GOOD OLD EE X ligious couple rent free, in the pret tiest cottage in Seattle, if they will take care of a bed room and parlor for my own use.
