ASTORIA, OREGON:
FRIDAY APRIL 20, 1883
Hcnr Villanl left Portland yes

The- old engine house has disap
peared, and the hand engine along
with other curiosities, ia stored away
at the llain street wharf.
The Edith took the Canity's place
on the capo route yesterday, conse
quent upon some slight disarange
ment of the latter's machinery.
The Escort No. 2. is expected
here about the 1st inst. What she
will do after she gets hero is a ques
tion. There is no towing of any con
sequence at present.
"Forest green," "telegraph blue,"
"crushed strawberry,"' mashed goose
berry," "shrimp pink," and "friod
mush" are among the fashionable
tiuts in spring suitings.
The Melaniclion and Tarn O'Shan
tcr went to sea yesterday. The Indi
ana aud C. S. Hulbcrl are reported
outside. The Miles arrived in from
Gray's harbor yesterday.
The boiler in the Portland plan
inti null of Y. B. Cantrell exploded
last Wednesday afternoon, killing the
engineer, W. P. Gheen, and injuring
his ton and the owner of tho mill.
-The
Weekly Astoria is out
this morning, full of nows that
you can read in no other paper. Buy
a copy, and after j'uti have read it
through send it to some one you know
back east, in whose welfare you are
interested.
The two men who were supposed
to bo drowned from boat No. 2, of
Geo. Hurao, have turned up all right.
Some of their comrades nn2in& their
boat and net brought it up and re
ported the drowning of its occupants;
not so bad after all.
Reports from below are to the
effect that thero will bo a light run of
salmon in the Sacramento this yoar.
There ia no sure thing in reference to
salmon one way or the other. The catch
here has hardly begun yet; but few
canneries care to put much gear in tho
water till the run justifies it.
Tho Coquiile mill and tug com
pany's saw mill at Parkersburg, on
Coquiile river, was burned last Satur
day, and waB a total loss. The mill
was entirely new and well equipped.
It stood about a hundred yards' from
the cannery of the Coquiile Packing
Co., which was incorporated here
about a month ago.
From Mr. A. Knapp, of Knappa,
we learn that Alex. Brownell, who
has been cutting cord wood
for him since last October, and who
left there March 31st to go to Astoria
in his skiff, intending to return soon,
left Astoria on about April 4th, itend-
incr. as he said, to "0 up to the Port
age, where he left his skiff and to re
turn to Knappa. Ho has not been
seen since, and fears are expressed
that he is lost, as much stormy and
squally weather has prevailed for
weeks past.
Tho Seattle Herald has indispu
table information that within the past
thirty days upwards of fifty thousand
dollars has bee"n invested in real
estate in tho vicinity of Gray's Har
qor. A deputation of San Francisco
gentlemen in company with Gov.
Newell, were inspecting the harbor a
few days ago. It looks as though the
next boom will bo in that direction. A
Michigan mill company have perfected
arrangements to erect a large sawmill
on the harbor, which will cost a half
million when completed. The Gray's
Harbor and Olympia railroad will be
in actual operation within a year.
Already the capital is subscribed and
the right of way has been given by the
farmers and property-holders in the
vicinity of the road.
Hotel Arrivals.
Shad and Carp .
Large numbers of carp and a few
shad have been received in Oregon
from the Potomac hatcheries, near
Washington City, during the past
yoar. These fish have been distribu
ted over the state in various quanti
ties and are generally, as far as heard
from, doing well. A gentleman who
is largely interested in their distribu
tion in Oregon waters says:
"Shad are a peculiar fish, with
home instincts. Take the little baby
fish, scarcely an iuch loug, and put
them in the Willamette at this place
and they will find their way over the
bar of the Columbia aud into the
racihc ocean. J hey will return in
three years to their home in the
Willamette to spawn. They will then
weigh two or three pounds. It is a
singular thing that these fish can find
their way back to the place in which
they are first put in the water. A
little shad an inch leug may be put
into a river, go down to the ocean,
stay tho allotted time there, and will
then return to the spot where he was
first deposited. Shad and carp are
haudled in a peculiar yet very careful
manner. We usually handle them in'
a can holding ten or fifteen gallons
each. In a ten-gallon can we will
carry
FIFTEEN On TWENTY
Thousand fish. The little fellows are
an immense amount of trouble, and it
takes two men to manage them. The
water has to ba changed every two or
three hours. Por instance, we take a
ten gallon can of water, in which we
have, say, fifteen or twenty thousand
little shad from three-quarters to an
inch in length. When we want to
change the water, which must bo done
every two or three hours, we put a
funnel shaped affair into the can, at
the end of which funnel 13 a sieve
through which tho fish cannot go.
Tho water runs int the funnel
through the sieve, and with a little
piece of rubber hose w e then syphon
tho wtor into a bjeket. That is, wo
don't take quito all of it cmt. We
then take tho bucket of water that
has been drawn off and remove three
large dippers of it. In place of that
three dippers of water we put three
dippers of ice water. They have to
have ice water. Then with the dipper
we dip up the water aud pour it back
into tho bucket not in tho can
ladle it as you do cano juice at a syrup
mill. That oxygenizes the water.
When that 13 thoroughly done we
return the water to tho C311 and the
fish have another rest for two or three
hours.
THE HATCHERIES.
It is quito interesting to seo the
shad hatcheries at Washington. All
the shad that are hatched in Wash
ington are hatched from eggs taken
from the female shad caught in the
Potomic river. An ordinary female
fish will drop twenty thousand eggs,
some more and some less. That is
about tho average. A fish has to be
"ripe" before Bhe is ready for the eggs
to bo taken from her. An expert can
easily tell when she is ripe. He takes
her in his hands, with the back down
and gently presses the eggs out into a
smooth; polished pan, to which is add
ed a small quantity of water. Then
tho milt is taken from tho male fi3h
and dropped into tho water, when the
eggs, which before were perfectly
clear, become gray and opaque after
impregnation. Thoy are then pnt in
to glass jars; or largo cones, through
which thero is a continual supply of
water passing, and tho eggs are kept
in continual motion until the young
fish are hatched out, which usually re
quires about four days. They are im
mediately put into cans and are then
shipped to the different parts of the
country. Eighty or eighty-five per
cent, of the eggs taken from tho fe
male fish hatch. Really more are
hatched out of a given number by the
artificial process than by the natural
method. It is interesting to watch
egga just before they hatch. First
you see a little speck, then the eyes,
then tho tail bpgins to wigtjle, then
tho little fish comes out with a sack on
the end of his chin, a very small sack
in reality, but a very large sack for
such a little fish. That sack is called
his umbilical sack from which ho feeds
uutil he is able to get his living from
tho water. Ho is much more trouble
some than tho young carp. They are
raised in ponds and are the hardiest
domesticated fish I suppose that are
in existence." E. V. Vindicator.

"Am Judge Perfection Smith in do
hall this eveninl" asked the President
as he laid aside his gavel and looked
around him.
"Yes, sah," answered a voice full of
fishbones and shingle-nails shaken up
together.
"Please ambulate dis way."
The Judge ambulated. He came
up confident aiid smiling, expecting
to receive a gold medal for inventing
a mosquito-bar, which also catches
rats.
"Judge Smith," said the President !
in a solemn voice, "dar am a few lit
tle things I desiah to spoke to yon
about. Yon war' at de pos'ofliK de ,

"I--I didn't rent one, sah," replied
the culprit in a weak voice. !
"A few days ago"' continued the t
President. "I oberheard you trottin

"No, sah dat's so, sah."
"Let dis be a warnin' to you, sah.

that information locked tight in your
busurn. An' a day or two ago you
denounced yourself as an advocate of
a tariff. Judge Smith, do you know
what a tariff is?"
"N not zactly, sah, but I was
gwine to read up on it."
"Exactly; an' porhap3 you'd bettor
