Now is a good time to got barrel of salmon for winter ubc. your Locomotivo onginoera on the N. P. R. R., are- paid from $100 to $130 per month. It has apparently forgotten how to rain in this pleasant land, and the parched earth was never so thirsty. Courtright & Hawkins play at Occidental Hall to-morrow night. Re served seats at the New York Novelty Store. Henry Ward Beecher is coming and will lecture in Astoria if sufficient pecuniary inducement is proffered the mauager of the trip. The N. P. Terminal comany has contracted for the building of a large foundry at Albina, eighty feet wide and three hundred feet lonr. Fish are taking a further tumble and the bottom seeraB to have dropped out of the market. It's been a singu lar season, take it altogether. The members of the Pioneer and Historical society of Oregon will please take notice of the time of burial of their deceased brother. T. P. Powers. H. G. Hurlburt and his survey ing party have reached the Nehalcm, and are camped about four miles east of Jewell, and about thirty-four miles from Astoria. Cleveland Rockwell's new paint ing "The Columbia River Bar," has been purchased by Capt. Flavel, as a companion piece to "Sunrise at Asto ria" by the same artist. The prico paid was $500. O. H. Cole who has been adjust ing insurance claims resulting from the lato fire, leaves to-day on the Wide West. Any one wishing to see him can find him this morning at A. Van Duscn's agency. The interests of the insurance companies and tho insuring public are mutual and whatever concerns one does the other. It seems to us the companies are making a mistake in putting on such rates as virtually make insurance prohibitory. Tho full tide of summer seaward travel haj set this way, and tho river boats aro bringing down exhausted sufferers from the dust and heat of the interior to recuperate in Astoria and vicinity, which furnishes the most delightful climato thi3 side of Italy. Jordan & Bozorth lling their banner to tho breeze this morning, and open with an extensive stock of crockery and glass ware of fino quality and at a price which they guarantee to be extremely low. They aro both straightforward young men and will undoubtedly do a good business. Every place learns a lesson by every big firo within its limits, but it is not every place that profits by its lesson. Astoria, last week, learned that its streets were too narrow, a lesson thai; it will be wise if it heeds. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. A refer ence to the advertisement "proposals for bids" would not indicate that the lesson was heeded. Twenty feet h a tremendous width. Owing to pressing business cares H. B. Parker, proprietor of the popu lar hotel bearing his name has leased that fine property to Mr. A. Asaell, who will hereafter manage the hotel, assuming control next Monday. That gentleman's experience is considerable and he will doubtless keep the hotel up ta its present standard of excel lence. The fish seen jumping in the bay for a week or two past are sturgeon The Chinnook salmon will commence running about the first of August, but they are not jumpers, and the fishermen must have an eye to busi ness to get an even start with them. In September the silver sabaaon will follow tho Chinoook. Some 15 boats will be used in talking fish in the bay this season. Coo Mail. In Judge Fox's court yesterday afternoon, in the case of John Ander son charged with assault and battery on the person of E. Weeving, the de fendant demanded a jury trial, and got it, securing an acquittal. In the case of the Stato of Oregon ts. Jos Sanvoners, charged with assault with & deadly weapon, the Judge held Jos eph in default of $2,000 bail to await the action of the grand jury. The Astoeiax has no objection te tho San Francisco Merchant'. at fempt to bear the market, but it does object to adverse criticism of Tub Aitobiax'k reports. These reports are correct, and are in every case the result of personal observation and impartial judgement. Perhaps our S. F. contemporary is unable to un derstand this, but it should at least refrain from unmerited blamo. For a Neat Fitting Boot Or Shoe, go to P. J. Goodmans, on Clie namus street, next door to 1. W.

Powers, ono of tho old est and most respected of our citizens died at his residence in upper Astoria at twenty minutes to two o'clock yesterday aftornoon, in tho eighty first year of his age. "The good, gray head that all men knew" is at rest forever, and nothing remains but the memory, in the minds of his friends and neighbors, of a well spent life. His death has been daily, almost hourly expected for several months, and with him it may be truly said that the weary wheels of life at last stand still. Tho sufferings of this estimable old man for the last four years have been at times excruciating, but through all he bora himself with , the most exemplary fortitude and in the few hours of relief enjoyed be tween paroxysms of pain, gave evi dence by his cheerfulness of tho un wavering suavit3 of his disposition. In the early summer increasing infirm ity compelled him to forego his daily trip through the city, and for the last fivo months ho had not been at any time free from the most distriug pain. To friends who daily crowded to see him he spoke with all the candor of his Christiau nature con cerning death and immortality, and declared his readiness to go, in the as surance that all was well, and that when all of earth was over he would see the Redeemer in whom he all his life had placed his most implicit trust. At the time the new Presbyterian church was built it was his earnest prayer that he be spared to witness its completion.. The prayer was granted, and few who heard yesterday afternoon the tolling of the bell, his dying gift to the church with which he had affiliated for three score years, but paused in thoir daily vocations in respect to the good old man whose life is ono of the most complete in its Christum character of any with which wo have exer been acquainted. About four yonivt ag., his left Jog was amputated below the knee, and at the time few supposed lis rould surrire the operation, but ho did, and stumped cheorily around on a wooden substitute. The immediato cause of his death seemed to be inability of j tho heart to longer send the blood i through the arteries of the body. Every week the difficulty increased, ! and at the last it was but the flicker-! ing of the candle in the socket. To the last he retained full possession of his mental faculties, conversing with friends and relations and giving direc tions as to the manner and time of the funeral, etc. Uo was born in Vermont in 1803, and while yet a young man emigrated to Mississippi from whouce with ins wife he came to Clatsop county in the spring of 1847, nnd where he has since almost continuously resided. In accordance with his last wishes tho funeral will take place at half past twelve o'clock v. m., to-morrow from his late residence. The remains will bo carried to the Presbyterian church, whero the Rev. .J . V. Milligan will conduct the funeral services, after which the body will be carried to Clatsop cemetery and laid by the side of that of his wife. A Christian Mission. Eu. A.stoki.n: T beg to corrcet a little your kindly notice of our trip toSkipanon on Sun day last. Tho affair was not an "ex cursion" or "picnic," but a strictly Christian mission, the object being, as announced, to visit and address the Sunday school there and at its close to organize a Band of Hope and a lodge of Hood Templars in the even ing. It was truly a pleasant and profitable enterprise, and wo all re turned stronger to prosecute the war for Ood, and home, and native land." T. J. Alley. The report of the P. W. C. T., who acted as The Astouun's special re porter that day was published as re ceived. As a matter of fact the characterization of the affair as an excursion or a picnic need in no way interfere with its Christiau attributes. Some of the best and jolliest of Chris tians go on picnics and have a way up time. AVcst Shore ; "West Shove. The West Shore for June: splendid illustrations o Astoria: just the num ber to send away.

Some thoughtless person ha3 sending dispatches from hero havo alarmed San Francisco and eist- ern insurance companies. e nave been shown four dispatches received! here, all of the same tenor "Do you j think it advisable to cancel policies! Take no more Astoria policies 1111 further instructions. The agent3 hero have in accordance with the facts telegraphed that there is no ground for apprehension and 110 reason for! any suspension or cessation of insur ance business. The whole thing niiu- ply illustrates the harm a thoughtless corrcspunaont can do. One gentle man said yesterday, that, ho was 111 Los Angeles, California, when first news of the Astoria tiro came, j He saw in a. Los Angeles paper that! we in Astoria were "paralyzed," "wero at the mercy of a mob," had "called ou Portland for assistance," and a lot more such trash. The nat ural effect ot such unmitigated rot is to alarm all those who havo business with Astoria and injure the town. It is just possible that certain outside papers might lose tho sale of ten or twelve extra copies of their valuable publications but even that disaster would be secondary to thu loss occa sioned our citizens by the broadcast spreading of damaging statements that had 110 foundation in fact. Salmon. The California (iiwr and ( 'muter of the 7th says: The Astoki.vn, whose report wu have found very intelligent and uni formly in strict accord with fact; void of any "bearish" or "bullish" propen sity, is ot tho opinion that tho pack up to date is fully equal to last yesrs figures. Sales aro very light na com pared with those of last year, and it! is faid-that no salmon is going on storage. - Tho onlv thing scarce in this lino it salmon bellies in half ban-els, for which 811 is asked for 80 pounds. On the Sacramento river work is still pro. greseing, canners continuing through that insane desiro to do business, even if at,a loss. Tho run amounts to almost nothing. The canneries ut Black Diamond are running a fair forco of men, and have signified their intention to continue operations until August 1st. Iho Contra Costa (iu- zette says that two canneries at Marti nez have closed operations for the season, having put up les3 than one half the quantity calculated on at the commencement or the season. Can- ners on the Sacramento will inaugu rate the fall catch at the proper time, notwithstanding fall-packed salmon are not equal in quality to spring- packed goods. The London Grocers Oazdte savs: Tho demand for salmon is quiet. All the Fraser-riYer Gsh of good quality has passed into dealers' hands, leaving only the discredited and inferior qual- ble quantity in the last arrival. That large parcels of this description are in j London is undeniable: competent an- thoriticB estimate them at 30,000 to 40,000 cases. Their value and ulti mate destination is a problem as yet to be solved. Its Liverpooljcorrespondent writes: For salmon the market here shows signs of an improvement, and sales in. tho country are very promising; but so far no change has taken place ' in prices, which rule from 2;is. Gd.j to 25s. for Columbia river, and 22a. j for h raser river. Kpltepxj- (Fits) ; successfully treated. Pamphlet ufj Tkrirftonlnrsnnn stjunn.ndflrpe Vm?m.ii'i Dispensary Mkpicai. Association-.
