(3) ASTORIA, OREGON: "WEDNESDAY JULY 11, 1SS3 , Walla Walla county claims 11,000 population. Eggs are down again, and are "only" forty cents a dozen. The barkentine Portland brought 60,000 brick to Capt. Flavel. The run of Frazer river salmon has begun. So far it is light. H. G. Struve was re-elected mayor of Seattle last Monday. E. A. Thomas, aged 29, suicided at Walla Walla by taking morphine last Monday. Prof. Gilbert, of the Oregon coast and geodetic survey, arrived on the Oregon yesterday. Even the worm will turn when bitten upon. You've probably no ticed this when eating cherries. Capt. Nelson, one of the found ers of the Pacific Coast Steamship company, is up this way on a visit. The kiln of brick which tho un fortunate Henry Plath had all ready on Youngs river, has been successfully burned. J. C. Wyndham's claim to dis tinction is that ho liven in Yamhill county, and is the oldest printer in Oregon. At the Walla Walla city election last Monday, high license was made the issue in tho fight; its advocates were beaten. Mrs. McCarnoy gave a voluptu ous dinner to her numerous friends, with all kinds of sweet meats of which tho Hon. J. Denver heartily partook. Society item in Standard. John Muir will be given a compli mentary dinner by the citizens of Port land on tho 19th inst. He leaves for St. Paul. Minn., on tho 23d. The Oregon arrived in at 12:30 yesterday, and after lying off awaiting the departure of tho Wide West swung into tho dock at 1:10 v. m, -Five of the escaped Salem con victs are still at largo, and are mak ing for the foot hills of the Santiam, plundering unprotected houses as they go. Miss Carol Crouso late with the Whims party arrived on tho Wide West yesterday, and left for the weather beach where she will slay for a few days for the benefit of her health. Its a pity that Portland can't have a first class hotel; any one of our three Astoria hotels are better than the best they've got, the only thing first class about those of the metropo lis is the price they charge. If our city council appoint an in vestigation committee they may find several places in the city where coal oil is piled up in a quantity that would occasion horrible results should Astoria be visited by another fire. Col. Jas. Taylor will be the first Astorian to make the through trip across the continent via the Northern Pacific Railway. He left Duluth "the zenith city of the unsalted seaB,' last Monday, having bought a ticket to Astoria. The total white male population, twenty-one years and over, in the United States iu 1880 was 11,343,005. Of these 400,000 were Odd Felllows in good standing in their lodges, or a little over one in twenty-four of the adult male white population. The trustees of Beaver Lodge No. 35, L O. O. F., have decided upon Tuesday, August 14th, as the date for the dedication of the new lodge room. It is the intention to make it a memorable day in the history of Odd Fellowship. Further particulars as to the programmo, etc., will be announced as formulated. At an adjourned meeting of Rescue No. 2, held on Monday even ing, W. L. McCrosskey, Fred W. Prael, P. Butler, W. H. Wood, Wm. Logan, H. W. Bergman, A. L. Ful ton and Ed. Halleck, were elected members of tho company. F. P. Hicks was nominated for the position of chief engineer of the Astoria Fire Department; tho election comes oft on August 14th. Under date of June 27, 1883, U. S. Fisk Commissioner S. F. Baird, writes to M. C. George: "In compli ance with your request, I have sent Livingston Stone, the officer in charge of the McCloud river station, to make a thorough oxploration of the Colum bia river, with a view of determining at what points hatcheries can best be established for the purpose of increas ingthe supply in the Columbia river." The salmon market continues to present tho same anomalous figures that have characterized the present season as being different v from any other in tho history of the business. Up to last night there have been sent to San Francisco 86,C87 cases, some on sale, some sold, some for storage three foreign bound vessels havo been leaded, having on board 117,878 cases, of which a large proportion goes on consignment. Governor Newel! Gov. Newell of Washington, Territory is in tho city, and leaves this morning on tho Miles to Gray's harbor and the Quinalt reservation. He has just come down from east of the moun tains and reports a splendid crop; he says the wheat will go forty bushels to the acre and the wheat and grain crop around Walla Walla and that whole country is something prodigi ous. Gov. Newell comes pretty near our ideal of an official. He is worth a million dollars a year to the territory that is so fortunate as to have him for its chief executive. With jreat ex perience, possessed of unusualinforina tion, and gifted with unusual powers of expression, a man of the most inde fatigable industry, this gentleman traverses the entire extent of the magnificent territory to the north of us, noting, observing everything and publishing tho result of his informa tion. He is a potent force with voice and pen and is doing a great work in the development of the territory. And the theme is worth' of ihe man. Tho territory possesses so many ele ments of greatness, its natural wealth and resources are so illimitable that the' cau scarcely be exaggerated, but the discriminating observation of the governor enables him m his tour through the country to select tho salient points, and ko place them as to insure a a correct statement of facts as they exist. Pacific Coast Fisheries. We have on the Pacific coast quite a bonanza in the sea, which is now be ginning to be worked. In the Paci fic states and erritories California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska the avarage number of men employed about fisheries is 10,745, of whom 7, 910 are Esquamaux, Aleuts and In dians, and 4,000 Chinese. There are 11,555 fisherman and 5,195 shoremen and factory hands. The number of hands employed in California is 3,030; io Oregon, 0,385; in Washington ter ritory, 745; in Alaska, (5,130.--The boat and vessels employ ed are valued at $583,145; apparatus and outfits, 455,238; valuo of buildings and apparatus of manu facture, $900,000; total amount of capital employed, S2,747,3S3. The fresh fish taken out last year was val ued at $3,749,310; crab3 and shrimps, $GC,35S; oysters and mussels, 703, 250; whalo oil, $80,150; fish oil (seal), 823,300; whalobouo, 122,000; seal fish, $10,000; sealskins, $1,540,912; sea otter skins, $178,850; eugs of sea birds, $1,500; sea-weed, $200; salt, $302,000. The total annual value of the sea products of the Pacific nwist is, therefore, $9,54S, 277. Tho General Verdict. The citizens of Astoria adopted the right course in their treatment of tho lawless element of that city. A vigi lance committco is never justifiable except in grave emergencies, such as occurred in San Francisco in early days and in Seattle last year; but we fancy that any one reading the ac count of the looting of property by the Astoria mob during the recent fire would place the Oregon city in the same category. Certainly tho tactics of tho people seem to have been ef fective and the lesson cannot fail to be a wholesome one to the thievos and cut-throats who tried to run the town. -S. F. Chronicle, 7. Portland's Problem. To-day tho saloon tax is due again, but up to yesterday only ono license had been issued. None of the fines imposed for the violation of the liquor license ordinance during the last three months have been paid, and the city is out $12,750. Unless the ordinance is modified at tho next meelin" of the council the city will havo a similar experience during the current quarter. It is lime that a little reason should be shown iu the matter. Standard. Courtright & Hawkins minstrels who were billed for here June ICth, but who were unavoidably detained by the non-arrival of tho Oregon, will appear at Occidental Hall next Fri day. Tho troupe can be given com mendation as being first class; tho performers aro all good, and they will no doubt have a crowded house. The box sheet is now open at the New York. Novelty store. In Judge Fox's court yesterday, appeared John Hooper, charged with stealing S100 from Hugh Hughes. Tho evidence was deemed by the judge sufficient to warrant his being held to await the action of the grand jury. Jack Leonard, who was arrested on a charge of larceny of a trunk on the day of the fire, was allowed to go, two of the police officers testifying that he had reported to them that the trunk was in his possession. Six or eight more remain to bo disposed of. A bunch of keys was lost yesterday for which a reward will be paid upon return to this oniec.

Spring, gentle, touchful, tuneful, breezeful, sootheful spring is here. It haB not been here more than twenty minutes, and my articles stand where I can reach ihem in case it should clutuge its mind. The bobolink sits on the ba3swood vines and the thrush in the gooseberry tree is melodious as a hired man. Tho robin is building his nest, or rather her nest, I should say perhaps, in the boughs of the old willow that last summer was busted by thunder I beg your pardon by lightning, I should saj Strawberries are like a bald headed man's brow they come high, but we can't get along without them. I never was more tickled to greet gentle spring than I am now. itstir3 up my drug soaked remains and warms the genial current of life con siderably. 1 frolicked around m the gras3 thus afternoon and tilled my pockets full of 1 ,000-legged worms and other little mementoes of the sea son. The little bare-foot boy now comes forth and walks with a cautious tread at first, liko a blind horse; but toward the golden autumn the backs of his feet will look like a warty toad, and thoro will be big cracks in them and one toe will be wrapped up in part of a bedquilt and he will show i, with pride to crowded houses. Last night I lay awake for several hours thinking, when the loud and violent concussion of a revolver shot near Wc3t Main street and Cascade avenue rent the sablo robe of night. I rose and lit the gas to see if 1 had been hit. Then I examined my pockets to see if I had been robbed of my lead pencil and scasou pass. 1 found that I had not. Boomerang. Seattle Comment. The Seattle papers take tho Astoria lire -as a text, and editorially &ay a great deal that can with equal truth bo said here. Tho Poxl-Tntclligencer says: Every alarm of fire painfully ro uiinds our business men that they are surrounded by dangers hardly less than those of a volcano or powder magazine, and that in prompt action only is there protection. Wider streets, abundant water and moro fire-proof buildings are the imperative needs of this rapidly growing city. The Herald: Property of far great er value than Astoria possesses and so situated as to be an easy prey to tho flames, is to-day practically at tho mercy of fire in Seattle. Several of the cisterns built for tho use of the fire department aro covered up and unfit for ubc. The suction of the steamers is not long enough to take water from the bay at the slips and wharves.
