Newspaper Page Text(3) gto- gstflij gistatfau. ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY APRIL 12. 1RK3 Two good signs '. Tho Cumbrian has arrived out. Arndt & Boclling'a new boat will bo launched at Ranier this tveek. Work began last Tuesday at Bed ding, Cal., on tho extension of the C. & 0. R. R. The amount of fines and forfeit ures in the police court for tho month of Hurdi aggregate 8344. Anyone wishing to buy & good pying restaurant can haar of a chance by applying at this office. Alfred Andersen, who wa3 to be hanged to-morrow in Portland has been granted a stay of proceedings. Capt. Thos. J. Forbes died in San Francisco last Thursday. De ceased was well known on tho Colum bia river. Shad aro multiplying in size and quantity all along tho coast. Ono caught at Ben icia, CaL, a few dayi ago weighed four pounds. G. W. Miller, a pioneer of 1853, died at his residence in Tillamook county, on "March 30th. He had been a resident of that county for nearly 20 year. Wm. McJIahon shot and killed his father, J. F. McMahon, near Jacksonville last Monday. The trou ble began with a quarrel about a widow. Tho piles under the roadway be tween the West Coast and Occident whick were washed away by the tide a few days ago, have been replaced by new ones. E. C. Holdon advertises some elegant and substantial furniture, the property of Captain J. C. White, which will bo sold on next Saturday morning. See adv. Tho Wide West is making splendid time now between Oregon's chief cities; we know of no cities on the coast that have better facilities for water transfer than Portland and Astoria. Tnis community has just one man to thank for such rapid transit. The first letters of his ncnin aro U. B. Scott, the captain of the Fleetwood. The editor of the Standard an nounces that by the 1st of May his paper will receive tho latest telegraph ic news from the east and various im portant points on tho PaciGc Coast. We believe this to be a bona fido bus iness, congratulate Mr. Noltnor upon his enterprise, and shall take pleasure in scooping in whatever we Gnd of in terest therein. The telegraph conveys the impor tant news that when President Arthur was going on board the boat that con veyed him to Florida, ho bought three books to road; "Talcs from Black wood," "Vice Versa," and "The Sleeping Car." Whether his excellen cy cut tho leaves with his royal pen knife or gnawed them with his teeth is left wholly to conjecture. We are also informed that a warrant has been issued in Boston for tho arrest of a negro named Cauliff. Henry Yillard and party leave San Francisco on the Queen of the Pa ciGc for Oregon, this morning. Tho special train which brought him over the C. P. flew across the alkali faster than was ever done before except on the occasion of the Jarrett & Palmer trip eight years ago. When the train arrived at tho summit of the Sierras and started down the western slope it made extraordinary time. From Truckce, 190 miles westward to Sacra mento was covered in three hours. Canned clams are shipped from Port Townsend to San Francisco where they meet with ready sale. In addition to the great industry of salm on canning on the Columbia, that of canning other Gsh will in time be prominent This season the smelt aro appearing in oxcellent shape from A. W. Berry's establishment at Ranier, and no doubt by next season other sea and river Gsh will bo put up in this vicinity. Could a supply of fruit be insured there is a magniGcent oppor tunity to also build up a fruit canning business at this place. Tho usual installment of postal cards saying "Please send me a copy of your valuable paper, I am thinking of emigrating to Oregon," was in yesterday's mail. Those follows seem to have the idea that men in Oregon run newspapers for the fun of tho thing. True, we own six corner lots hers, and are afraid to name a price for aay ono of 'em lest some one shoald pick us up; equally true that we've got a third interest in tho O. R. & K. Co.'s steamers; yet as a matter of principle we decline sending papers to men that aro "thinking of coming to Oregon" unless tkey send a stamp t carry them (the papers) back. If the St. Louis Globe-Democrat will give publicity in its columns to this pro nunciamonto it will confer a favor on The A8TORIAX. That sterling news paper, one of tho best in the Union, can help remove a carkmg care from our ' young life by mentioning this fact. Council Proceedings.

On motion council adjourned. Yesterdcy showers of hail and rain alternated with momentary gleams of sunshine. Toward evening it cleared off and grew cold. Mr. Wm. B. Adair proprietor of the British Union Packing company, returned to the city yesterday after an absence of nearly a year. Mr. Adair's cannery is on the Frazer river, about Gfteen miles below New Westminster, B. C. He reports business of all kinds in tho Dominion in a prosper ous condition, especially in relation to tho Railroad, the advent of which gives a wonderful impetus to that country. The canning business on the Frazer he considers as being overdone; the ten dency is to multiply canneries, end it is probable that one or tw o le3s will run this season than did last. Mr. Adair is looking extremely woll and speaks favorably of his own prospects. The Rink will be open for skating as usual, to-night. A full stock of sewing machina needles, all sizes and kinds just received at LW. Cases. Call at the Occident Store and In spect MclDtoslTa stock of spring suitings. Salmon Items. A good deal, wise and otherwise, is said and written in our contempora ries regarding tho salmon, probabili ties and possibilities, aud sometimes abroad as well as at homo there is considerable diversity in statement. A dispatch which was sent from this city last week that the Gshermen were catching 125 Gsh to the boat repre: sents ono extreme. Other statements iu reference to an extraordinarily heavy run, or an unusually light run, are also to bo taken cum grano salts. "An extensive San Francisco repre sentative" recently read to a Chronicle reporter an extract fr.m a letter from Astoria, in which the writer f&W. . that the supply of Gshermen w.uu!-' adsquate and that for the next three ' months good, skillful fishermen could Gnd piying employment on ilir Col umbia. The jrtme letter statrri tiia . there has been less snow on thf water-shed of the Columbia this year' than for many years and the outlook was for moderate water and a moder-, run of salmon. It wa3 conceded by the agents that the high price cannot stand, unless the snpply fails entirely to meet the demand, and that so lung as tho Gsh ran small, with three and one-fourth to tho case, it would be im possible for tho canners to do any work." Tho Liverpool Grocer, o f latest date to hand reperts: "Tho return of cold weather during the past week has caused a slackening of demand for salmon, and holders havo shown a disposition to grant some slight con cession in order to induce dealers to make bids. There is ovcry probability of a good demand after Easter, and it is generally believed that tho con sumption is proceeding steadily, aud as importations have now ceased and stocks aro firmly held, we look for a steady trade at stoady prices. An other report from the same quarter regarding the salmon market states that tho demand for the season of the year is exceedingly quiet, in conse quence of tho very few inquiries from the large dealers who experience the samo position in the country, and this is only to be accounted for by the numerous arrivals of Columbia river salmon, which take place in so limited a time." The Gazette says: "The salon market remains entirely without change and shows great want of ani mation. Prices are unchanged and Grm at last quotations." Mysterious Disappearance of a Steamboat. Considerable interest is felt regard ing the whereabouts of tho STaynct, which left here about ten days ago for a trip to Young's river. A short time ago Messrs. Hess and Gibson sold the boat to two parties whose names we arc unable to give. They loaded her with freight from here consisting of flour, bacon, lumber, etc., for Messrs. Col man, Tucker, Sales and others living on Young's river. Nothing was heard of her since she left, and yesterday Mr. Tucker sent iu to Wilson & Fisher taking where his provisions were. The fact that a sack of flour marked for Colnian was found last Tuesday on the tide land, and that u broom and two spruce planks floated ashore glve3 rise to the suspicion that the Magnet struck a snag or elso sprung a leak and sunk. The men that bought the craft are reported all right Jaa they were seen heading for Tillamook last Monday. Hotel Arrivals. OCCIDENT.
