A large crowd of fishermen arrived

Henry Villard is expected to ar
rive in Oregon next week.
E. C. Holden's auction sale is at
seven o'clock tkis evening.
Over
18,000 buffalo have
been
killed in Montana this season.
The Oregon arrived in yesterday,
tho Queen left out; the Walla Walla
goes to sea to-day.
Tho cash receipts at the land office
in Olympia during tho month of
March araoanted to 30,000.
Reports from British Columbia
waters are to the effect that the spring
run of salmon is unusually large.
Astoria has ceased to be a village,
and should hate the names of its
streets' plainly designated on tho
corners thereof.
A new paper, that daily event,
comes to us with a unique motto. It
is "For tho old flag and an appropria
tion." Candid, anyhow.
Chicago furniture dealers are un
able to supply tho demand for tables
waranted of sixteenth century manu
facture. Their workmen aro on a
strike.
Jas. Smith who was in the city
jail on a charge of larceny, took ad
vantage of the early morning hours
yesterday and skipped to tho hills.
Ho was last seen on Young's river.
After careful perusal of all the
city and country exchanges it would
appear that if all they allego is true,
then comparatively speaking, Astoria
is the most virtuous city of its size on
the coast
Wo would respectfully suggest to
a certain functionary of the first ward
that to bo "dressed in a little brief
authority" is "well enough; but that
decency requires a little more sub
stantial covering on certain occasions.
At the last meeting of Beaver
Lodge Ko. 35, tho following members
were elected to represent the society
in the Grand lodge which meets in
Portland May 15th: G. Reed, J.
Q. A. Bowlby, G. McLean and A. J.
Megler.
The "Kentucky Jubilee Singers"
gave another performance at Occiden
tal Hall last evening. Miss Webb is
a good singer; to tho rest of tho troupe
tho charity of silence is the most mer
ciful criticism that can be accorded.
Astorians liko to go to tho theater and
always patronize a troupe liberally.
Sometimes they get what they pay for;
sometimes they don't.
Senator Dolph arrived homo on
yesterday's steamer. Ho expresses
himself as being well pleased with his
trip to Washington. In reference to
Villard's visit next week Mr. Dolph
does not believe there is any truth in
tho report concerning tho purchase of
California railroads by that gentle
man, but that his visit here solely
concerns matters affecting tho N. P.,
and O. R. & N. companies.
Tho natives of Alaska have made
application to tho authorities at
Washington for school teachers. They
do not seem to bo equally eager for
missionaries. Theso tribes probably
accept the religious example of the offi
cers and agents of the Alaska Far
Company as an indication of what
Christianity would do for them, and
if that is tho only sort of religion the
United States is prepared to furnish
they duu't want any of it.
Mr. P. L. Cherry, British Vico
Consul at this port, has received a
letter from Mrs. Maria Enders, 49
Clifton street, Liverpool, England,
wherein she says: "Could you give
mo any information about Gustas En
ders, who left the bark Maudalay on
tho 8th of Sept. 1882? I havo not
heard of him (my husband) since tho
13th of August 1882. Could you pos
sibly tell me if he has joinod another
vessel, or give mo any information re
specting him? I would be truly grate
ful for a reply from you with any in
formation." The new revenue law, enacted by
congress at its late .session, it ill go
into effect in many respects on the 1st
of July. It will affect tho collections
of tho revenue service on this coast to
a large oxtcnt, as the act abolishes the
tax on many articles heretofore taxed,
and reduces tho revenue derived from
others. All the internal revenue
taxes on tho capital and deposits of
banks all stamp taxes on bank checks,
drafts, orders and vouchers, and tax
on matches, perfumery, medicinal
preparations, etc, are abolished after
tho 1st of July. The tax on tobacco
is greatly reduced, though whether the
reduction will affect the price of cigars
is still an open question with consum
ers. Thero is no change in the taxes
on all kinds of liquors. These
changes go into effect on the 1st of
ob ay.
A Universal Need.
The scarcity of building material
says the West Shore is a serious incon
veionce felt throughout the whole
Northwest. With thousands of square
miles of timber, wo aro without lum
ber, and this, too, when saw-mills are
working day and night. The reason
for this is, tho great mills on Puget
sound, some of which cut 200,000 feet
per day, ship their product to San
Francisco and foreign markets , gener
ally on largo contracts, and the homo
supply has to como from smaller mills.
To &hip lumber into the interior
would involve an expense ueh as to
almost preclude irs use. Every coun
ty and district has its saw-mills, and
the local supply and demand has
chiefly regulated the price and quanti
ty cut; but the wonderful activity in
building during the past and present
seasons has rendered these mills inca
pable of supplying the market, ifew
ones going up on every hand, and
still there is a dearth of lumber. Es
pecially is this inconvenience felt cast
of the Cascades, where lumber does
not grow on evory man's quarter sec
tion. This evil, however, will be rem
edied; but there is a still greater one,
and that is scarcity of brick. From
every city and towa in the new and
growing regions there is a universal
demand for brick. At Seattle, Stcila
cooin, Tacoma, Olympia, Vancouver,
Pendleton, Walla Walla, Dayton,
Colfax, Sprague, Cheney, Spokane
Falls, and all along the lines of rail
road through Idaho- and Montana;
there will be business blocks and resi
dences erected this season almost
without number. If brick could
be had at a reasonable price or
in sufficient quantity, the majority
of business blocks, at least, would be
constructed of that material. The
builders prefer it, and will only use
wood by force erf necessity, and yet
not one of these pUces has enough to
supply its wants, and some have none
whatever. It is not for the lack of
material, nor, oven, for want of brick
yards. It is because the facilities at
present are entirely inadequate to sup
ply this unprecedented demand. A
nianjwho understands tho manufacture
of brick cannot fail to mako money
anywhere, and a moulder who can
mould even a semblance to one need
not be idle for want of work at sood
wages, it some eastern manulacturcrs
do not see here an inviting field, we
call them blind; indeed. The demand
for brick will not end with this season
nor the next. It will be permanent
and continuous. Not only are men
with capital needed, but laborers, men
who can mould and burn. There aro
room and work for both.
Wo need labor in this great region.
We need it as badly as tho boy did
the wood-chuck. "Wo aro short of
lumber because there aro not enough
men who can go into the woods and
get out logs for the mills. There aro
men enough who will build mills if
the logging could be done. Houses
aro desired by tho thousand, and
carpenters cannot be had to build
them. Brick Wocks are wanted by
business men, but there aro not brick-
makers enough to supply the material.
Enough masons cannot be found to
lay the bricks now being made, and
if all the brick needed could be ob
tained there are not half enough
masons to lay them in mortar.
OarpenterSjbridgc-builders and masons
are in great demand by tho railroad
companies as well as unskilled labor.
"Wages In Astoria.
The labor market in Astoria is in
some senses a limited one. 35y that
we mean that a man can not come
hero and get work "rigbt off" at any
trade that he happens to know.
Should he want to work he can always
find something to do, with a prospect
of bettering himself if ho is steady
and does not allow prosperity to upset
him. At prescut stonemasons, plas
terers and bricklayers are getting
from $5 to $7 a day. There isn't
much demand for them and they can
only work at certain seasons of tho
year. Carpenters range from $3 to
$4 a day. A good carpenter that un
derstands his business can get plenty
of work at the latter rate. The same
remark applies to painters. Foundry
men and machinists are paid from
2.50 to $4 a day, and as in other
branches can always get what they are
worth. For wagon or carriage mak
ers thero is very little demand, black
smiths can readily get 3.50 "helpers"
aro worth 2.50. In general it may
be said that mechanics that are sober
and industrious can get plenty of work
either hero or in Portland.
By a careful reading of tho dis
patches we learn that house rent in
Jerusalem ha3 advanced fortv ner
cent. The good people of Jerusalem
have our sympathy. Here, too.
Wonder what kind of a boom tho Je
rusalemites are experiencing which
causes snch an appreciation of prices!

From reliable resources tho Olym
pia Transcript finds that tho pay-roll
of a first-class and well oquipped
logging camp runs about as follows,
which applies also equally as well to
the lower Celumbia: Greasers, those
apprentices whose duty it is to carry a
can of dog-fish oil and swab to lubri
cate the skids, are paid from 35 to
$40 per month; swampers, $50 to 555;
barkers, $50 to 00; skidders C0 to
$65; cooks 50 to 75, according to
the number of men comprising tho
working force; hinik tenders, S(50 to
S75; chopper, -$G0 to 90; sawyers
$80 to $30; time keepers and accoum
and. S75 to -980: bosses and foremen
$80 to $100; teamsters, $100 to $125.
As in all other callings there are men
of extra and marked ability in every
one of these grades of work, and once
their faithfulness and efficiency are
known they never need go begging for
employment and their services com
mand the highest wages paid in their
respective departments. Cruisers, or
those who are 6eut out by mill pro
prietors to spy out the land and locate
timber claims, are, as a rule practical
surveyors, and have a natural apti
tude for penetrating the deepest and
wild st forests and accurately esti
mating the amount and value of
merchantable timber standing on any
given area of land. Theso men re
ceive from $4 to $G per day and ex
penses paid. All tho above logging
prices include board, lodging bunks
during working days. Whilo work is
suspended on account of inclement
weather, the hands are charged for
their board. Every logger is supposed
to be the owner of a pair of blankets.
Sawmill hand3, of all work, receive
from $2 to $3 per day, according to
skill and ability and tho amount of
business done by employers. Head
sawyers, machinists, engineers ad
superintendents in tho larger milts re
ceive a higher gradfc of wages accord
ing to skill and the stipulation of tho
parties.
Next to loggers and lumbermen,
come farm help and men of all work.
As in other countries, there is the
natural fluctuation of prices here ow
ing to demand, scarcity of labor and
tho season of the year. At the pres
ent time good farm hands aro receiv
ing from $30 to $35 per month, and of
course, their living oxpenses paid.
During tho hurried part of the year,
we hear of harvest hands getting as
high as from $1.50 to $2.50 per day.
Owing to tho peculiar make up of this
part of the coast, wages in this line
have a wider range and changes occur
more frequently than in the older
states and territories. A man may bo
a farm hand, logger, mill man, and
miner all in tho same twelvemonth,
and his earnings must fluctuate accord
ingly. Roll of Honor.

The sale of Syrup of Figs Is simply
immense. Everyone Is taking it, and all
admit that it is the besc medicine ever
used. Children crv for it ou account of
its pleasant taste, and grown up people
who have used it once never lake any
thing else. Unlike other remedies for
biliousness and constipation it never
loses its power to act, and it always
leaves the orjrans on which it acts
stronger than before. Besides one feels
fresh and bright and realizes that it is
