Wass for salo or rent. advertises a house The Columbia is due from San Francisco this morning. M. P. Donegan fell into tho Wil lamette at Portland, last Monday and was drowned. A btok of devotional exercises in the German language awaits owner ship at this office. The Lewiston Ttller savs that in that town they "auction off watches at church on Sunday." Just think! Blanks of all kinds, iron-clad mortgages, and copper-fastened war ranty deeds, for sale at The Asto vlixs Job office. Of $248,000 on tho Portland tax roll but $11,003 remains delinquent, a fact which speaks well for the financial status of Oregon's metropo lis. By a fall through a trap at his place of business last Monday, E. J. Northrup, a well-known Portland merchant sustained injuries which resulted fatally the same day. The Wide. West has made the run from Portland down, inside of six hoars. Should the Fleetwood make a through run without so many stoppages we believe sho could make equally as good time. Tho Me ) aid says the promoters of the Coos Bay and Roseburg railway are operating in Now York aud that work on the road will be commenced this spring. The depot grounds at Coquille City have alroady been located. Sheriff Twombly reports that out of a tax list of $31,000 the delinquent roll docs not aggregate $250. If any county in tho state can make a bet ter showing than that they can take tho cake. At present wo believe Mack is entitled to it. After 12 o'clock to-night all sa loons without license under the new law will be pulled, although no ar rests aro likely to be made before Wednesday morning. Only about half a dozen licences havo been issued, and it seems as though war is im minent Yesterday's Standard, Articles of incorporation of Grace "Episcopal church havo been filed in the office of the County Clerk. The following gentlemen are the incorpora tors. Rev. M. D. .Wilson, A. Van Dusen, Brenham VanDusen, Jay Tuttle, S. D. Adair, Maxwell Young, C. P. Gpshur, and C. J. Trenchard. The important news is telegraphed from London that "the Queen took a diivo yesterday." As it appears sim ultaneously in two Portland papers tho presumption is in favor of its ac curacy, but hereafter we are compelled to read with mistrust the alleged tele grams from tho capital of our native state. About as good an illustration as any of tho appreciation of Clatsop county property is the prompt alarity with which real estate owners come up with thoir taxes. Parties living in the most remote parts"of tho county hasten in aud exchange their coin for a tax receipt which constitutes in its elf good evidence of ownership. The funeral of tho late Mrs. Vaughn took place yesterday after noon and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. Winfield Scott in the Baptist church, which was filled with tho friends of the deceased who testified by their presence the regret they felt for the friend and neighbor who was gone. H. G. Hurlburt, one of the O. & C. engineers, arrived down on the Wide West yesterday, and procuring a horse immediately started out toward the Nehalem on a reconnoitering ex pedition. He was reticent as to the time the survey for the Astoria rail road would begin, but says that more of thb engineer c orps will be down this way in a few days. The bids for supplying the mili tary posts of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, with, wood, hay, oats, barley, etc., for tho fiscal year commencing July 1, were opened last Monday at Vancouver by Major A. S. Kimball. The contract for Forts Stevens, Canby and Vancouver, aggregating $50,000, was given to Wm. Burnell of Portland. Tho bids averaged for hay $30 ptr ton, hard wood $5.50 per cord, oats 75 cents per bushel, straw $10 per ton. The latest issue of the Portland Standard to hand puzzles us even worse than tho telegraph dispatch fa cilities of the other papers. The pa per announces on three pages "Tuesday April 9th," and the first six "dispatches" on tho 1st page are headed "St. Petersburg, April 9," "Dublin, April 9;" St. Iiouis, April 0;" "Berlin, April 9;" "Oskaloosa, April 9;" and "Paris, April 9." We can readily understand tho Paris dis patch, but we cannot see how that Osk&loow dispatch of April 9th got over in time. That's getting the "diipatoh" business down pretty fine. Proposed Agreement. There will bo a meeting of cannery men at S. Elmore's to discuss matters connected with the general welfare of salmon interests on tho Columbia river and to take action on the follow ing paper which is self-esplanatory: Whereas, the cannerymen on tho Columbia river have prepared and equipped more boats aud nets to run upon the Columbia river 'during the year 1 883, to catch salmon than can bo run properly, and Whereas, the whole of 3aid boats and nets for catching salmon cannot be run and operated without incon venience aud intcrfctencd with one another Thereforo,thes3 presents witnessetb, that in consideration of e2ch of the canning companies or proprietors laying up aud withdrawing from uso on the Columbia river, during the fishing season of 1883, one half of the number of boats and tho;r gears such now as prepared, engaged and secured to run and bo operated during said season; we, the undersigned owners and proprietors of canning establish ments on said river, hereby agree and obligate ourselves, each for himself and itself, with and for the beneGt of the other undersigned persons and companies, that wo will withdraw from the river and not allow to be used ou the Columbia river, during the salmon soason of 1883, one-half of the boats each now has or controls by ownership, hire, or otherwise, which are fully equipped with not and gear to run, and to likewise withdraw and not allow to run any and all fish boats each has or controls, which are not now furnished with net and gear. And if in case of "outside" boats which cannot be tied up by reason of contract, any of us are unable to re duce our number to one-half the present number, then the surplus boats over ouc half that cannot be stopped or tied up, shall deliver thoir fish to some receiver to be selected by the undbrsigned, who shall distribute said fish pro rata among tho other canneries.

There has been a good deal written and a great clcai of righteous indigna tion expressed, regarding the practice of shipping sailors and demanding so much apiece from the ship masters, who it has been sometimes made to appear are poor, innocfciit fellows in tho hands of the Philistines. The following is published because official ly signed and throws additional ,;ght on an interesting subject. Capt. C. C. Duucan, C. S. Ship ping Commissioner at New York, hav ing written to J. D. Stevenson who occupies the'same position at San Francisco, concerning the "blood money" practice at that port, was fa vored with the following answer: OmcE or U. S. Suifpinu Com- i missioner, San Francisco, March 5, 1883. ) C. C. Ddncan, Esq. U. S. Shipping Commissioner, Np.w York. Dear Sir: Your eatemed favor of 14th ult, was duly received. In your letter you ask "Cannot blood money in your port be suppressed" I will answer this by giving yon a his tory of it siuco Aug. 7, 1872. When I took this office I found it to be an established custom, when seamen wero scarce for tho boarding-house masters to demand from captains wanting crews from $3 to $40 for oach man furnished. I determined to atop it. I therefore sought and had an in terview with the British Consul, Mr. Booker, and we decided to call a meeting of American and English captains and consignees and endeav ored to bring about concerted action with a view of breaking up this prac tice. All parties agreed to stand to gether and refuse to accede to tho de mands for "blood money." Tele gruns were sent by masters to their ship owners in the east and in Eng land, who replied directing their ves sels to be laid up "till they rotted" rather than pay "blood money." Within two weeks the board-ing-hoiis9 masters gave it up; and from that timo for nearly two years, we heard no more of it. When it was again demanded I pur sued tho same course; but notwith standing the promises made, one of the English ship captains offered a bonus for men to till his ship, and every other captain was obliged to do tho same. Since that time, however, I have managed to prevent the board ing houso masters demanding the IWl.t.VT, IIU It W.J w.ww ..w w..w. has been a voluntary one on the part . of the shipmaster to enable him to se- curo a crew before some other ship, who happened also to be ready for a crew. At times we havo from ten to fifteen ships w.-.itiug for crews and sailors very scarce (under such circumstances no de'mand has been made by the boarding houso masters.) Somo of these captains will agreo to wait their turn, conceding to ships first in turn, the right to have their crews first. Another will put his ship in the stream and finding somo eight or ten vessels ahead of him in turn, ignores the question of turn aud offers $10 to $20 per man to fill his ship. This you will readily see incites others to bid higher and frequently as high as $40 per man is paid, aud in every case the otter is a voluntary one. i nave trieu to make captains understand that the payment of this money will not make men more plentiful, but will only act as an incentive to sailor runners to pick up and ship worthless men; but I have no effect upon them; all they want is something to fill their ship3 to enable them to clear and satisfy their owners at home. For tho past three or four months sailors have been very scarce, but nevertheless ships havo been sent away and no blood money paid, becauso no captain has boon foolish enough or greedy enough to make any offer. The fact is that the captains are themselves to blame. If they would agree not to pay or offar this money, and hold to such agree ments, there would bo no trouble. But yet if a shipmaster receives a telegram from his owner offering him to get his crew and go to sea at any cost, and there aro several ships on turn before hi&i, he has no choice in snch a case, and, I have no doubt, there are many shipowners who havo no right to complain about blood money at this port.
