The Oregon state board of pilot commissioners went down to tho great deep on the 2filcs 3esterday afternoon on their semi-annual tour of inspec tion. To-day they hold their regular meeting in this city. Tho salmon are running bitter this week. "Reports from up river canneries are that salmon average ten to the boat. One reports high boat at 41, and so on down to 7, ten boats bringing in 103 fish. The fire alarm last Sunday night was the usual stery: "Chinaman's chimney." Tho same chimney came near being the cause of another fire alarm yesterday afternoon. That chimney and other chimneys like it will be costly affairs if not fixed as they ought to bo. Henry Yillard told the Walla Walla folks last Saturday, that he would assuro them such cheap rates on freight down the Columbia that they "wouldn't care whether produce went to Portland or the Sound." They might prefer to ship ia bulk to Astoria and load deep sea going ves sels at the seaport of Oregon. D. P. Thompson is going ahead with the Columbia Water company. Last Saturday he bought the entire property of the Welch Hill water works, paying therefor $G,500, which was cheap. The transfer will be made July 1st. Yesterday Mr. Thompson bought Youngs river falls from Wm. Knicmeyer, paying for that pictur esque bit of scenery the sum of $2,500. A new mode of fattening oysters has been discovered and used at Franklin City to great advantage, especially as the oysters are poor thii season. Tho oysters are put in floats and covered with fresh water two or three inches deep. A hose attached to the boiler of a steamer is then used to heat tho water just enough to cause the oysters to open their mouths and to drink. After taking three or four drinks they fatten rapidly and are soon ready for tho market. Re porter. The Grocers' Gazelle, London, un der date of April 7th, says of salmen: CA bettor demand prevails, particu larly for the product of northern riv ers, which, being of satisfactory qual ity and decidedly cheaper than Col umbia river, meets with considerable attention. Our Liverpool correspon dent writes: The demand for Colum bia river packing is at present verj' slow, but prices are well sustained, and there is no reason to anticipate any weakness, the whole being well and firmly held." The writor of the above ignores the fact that Columbia salmon is the best. .biro in a China house brings out tho "human naturo," or rather cross- grained inhuman naturo of the China man iu full bloom. He never thinks of trying to save any property, of trying to put tho fire eut: he merely grabs his bundle and makes for the door. For that reason it is always in order to give them a good wetting down. It would be an admirable pre ventative to those fellows if they know that when tho engines got there they were in for a good swish that would sweep some of the nastiness out, and bo of sanitary benefit as well as giving them to understand that water had some terrors for them if a burning chimney hadn't.

About six miles from the Seaside on the Necanicum, John Hoffman a sin gle man aged about 40 yeaw, has lived on a claim for a number of years. Of late ho has been somewhat unlucky, and was on the point of going away. His evident symptoms of insanity ex cited tho interest of his neighbors, and after the burning of his house, about five weeks ago it was noticed that he was entirely out of his mind. About a month ajo he disappeared and the oniy trace of him that could be found were foot tracks leading to the creek, showing where he had forded it, and then started down to the creek again where tho tracks stopped. Diligent search was made but to no purpose, till last Sun day when one of the neighbors found his dead body lying on vhe bank. The inevitable presumption is that he started in a frenzy to wade the creek, and the swift current took him off his feet into a deep hole below. Under the circumstances it was considered unnecessary to hold an inquest, and the body was yesterday given decent burial by tke residents of that lo cality. How Villard got a Start. Yillard has made a great fortune. It 13 put at all kinds of figures. Some say he ha3 from $20,O00,C00 to S25, CDO.OOO. Villard was a young Ger man of respectable but not at ali aris tocratic family, who camo to this country some years before the war. He had a knack for business and al though for some ycara he h id to be a newspaper correspondent and get beaten around from point to point, he kept money in his mind. He made his first money in a big whisky deal in Washington. Aware that the taxes would have to be raised in- order to provide the government with the rev enue, he addressed himself to know ing when and to what extent tho taxes would be raised on vital matters like whisky, tobacco, cic. In that way he became connected with Horace While, who was a political correspon dent, clerk of committee, etc. Those men and a few of their friends made good round sums of money for that day, perhaps $50,000 to 150,000 apiece. Cincinnati Enquirer. Steamer Day. Last Sunday was what might be termed "steamer day" at Astoria. About cloven o'clock the Oregon fired her gun, arriving from San Francisco; in her wake camo the Idaho from the north, with coal for Capt. Flavcl; and about four miles astern steamed in the Gyps'j a jaunty little craft from below, with combusti bles. This boat will go into the Hino trade between San Juan and Tacoma. In the meantime the Willamette was making a landing just down from Portland, and with the deep bass of the ocean steamers whistles alternated the lighter treble of tho river steam ers. Every dock had a steamer in front of it and presented a lively ap pearance. In tho near future we hope to have such bustle of arrivals and departures a daily occurrence. Hotel Arrivals. OCCIDENT.

The largest and most complete fish show ever held will be opened by Queen Yictoria at tho South Ken sington gardens, London, during tho present month, which in importance and extent, it is expected, will eclipse tho great exhibition of 1879. All branches connected with fish or fishing in their practical, commercial, scien tific, and historic ways will be repre sented. One class of exhibits will include sea fishing gear of all kinds. Fresh water fishing will be represented by rods, reels, artificial flies, etc. Another class will show all kinds of articles used and worn by fishermen, even to the clothing. Fish in all forms canned and uncanned, as pre pared for commerce will occupy a large space, and will constitute one of the most important features of the show. From former show3 of this kind held in Europe great benefit has been reaped by this country. Above nil, a vast increase of export trade for American fish products has Bprung up from these exhibitions. To Australia alone are now sent ten times as many of these products as in 1870 last year's shipments amounted to two million dollars. The fishing interests of tho United States greatly exceed those of any other country, and it is expected that tho exhibits shown by us will surpass all others in tho completeness and va riety of articles shown. For the col lective exhibit at Berlin the United States obtained the first prize aud tho greatest fame; and the collection made up for London is more perfect, especi ally in angler's miterial, than the one sent to Berlin. Prof. Baird has loaued and seat over from tho Smithsonian Institution a very large and important collection of fresh, stuffed, and preserved fish, and many plaster casts of odd and curious occupants of tho sea. The spacious structure in which the exhi bition is to be held is located in the beautiful gardens of South Kensing ton. The Berlin exhibition was visited by 483,000 people, while this one in London, a city of 5,000,000 inhabi tants, will unquestionably bo visited by several million. Where it "Went to. When there was a show for a rail road to a certain villago in Michigan, the citizens of the town came forward as thej were able and subscribed for stock, and the road was finally built. A year or so after, when tho man who had worked up tho boom was sottltd in a fat position, and figured promi nently in railroad reports, a subscriber called upon him and said: "Mr. Blank, I subscribed for 100 worth of stock in tho G. R. Y. road." "Yea." "That made me a stockholder!" "It did." "But I have never been noti fied of any meetings, and I under stand that my stock has no value." "Well, you see, we had to mort gage the road for tho iron." "Yes." "Then we changed tho name." "Yes." "Then wo pooled with tho B. & W. road." "Yea.'' "Then we cleared out the old board and elected a new one." "Yes. "Then we voted to extend to tho present terminus." "Yes." "Well, just where the vote was which cancel ed your stock or absorbed it, I can not remember, but if you are laboring under tho delusion (hat you have any financial intorest in our road, the president will request the vice-president to instruct the auditor to order the secretary to consult the minutes of the various meetings and try aud discover which hole the common stock went into when tho preferred wa pulled out by the tail.
