The editor of the Salem Slates man wants to know the name of Astoria's police judge. Let him come down here and go on a toot, and he can be accorded that information. Eighty-five thousand cnses of salmon have been shipped to San Francisco from this port, this season; about fifty-three thousand had been shipped in tho samo period last year. Messrs. Simpson & Bros, are hav ing a survey made from Knappton op posite Astoria to Shoalwater bay with tho intention of constructing a rail road from tho waters of the Columbia northward. Mrs T. S.

The case, of the city vs. Jacob Kamm, on trial in the circuit court for the past two 4days, went to the jury at 3:30 yesterday morning. After being out one hour and a half they brought in a verdict awarding Mr. Kamm damages in the sum of $10,500. Sunday Oregonian. In the justice court yesterday afternoon, in the case of tho stato of Oregon vs. Win. Dubury, the prelimi nary examination resulted in the hold ing of tho defendant to await the action of the grand jury. Two of the witnesses, Packford and Gill, were also held. Time was given till Friday to procure witnesses. The case of George Hill, charged with violating ordinance 172, came up in the police court yesterday after noon for trial, and after the examina tion of several witnesses was given to tho jury, who, on the second ballot brought in a verdict of acquittal. Tho cases of Pobt. "Wilgren and Wise Kian & Co., come up this afternoon. Work in tho "burnt district!' pro gresses. W. B. Heading ton has a contract to build two houses 20x70 on the site formerly occupied by Frank Fabre and Dr. Kinaey; on the other side of the street Aug. Danielson has tome of the material on the ground for a new building. The roadway is being put in passable condition, and further down Chas Gratko has a temporary building for the accommo dation of thirsty patrons. It is prob able that two or threo brisk buildings will be built where frame structures formerly stood. Fire on the Hill. At the risk of being deemed too officious wo would suggest to the city council tho necessity of having cisterns. The present condition illus trates their necessity. There is a firo on the hill just beyond. Mrs. Hall's house, and property is in danger. The residents there have been fight ing it and watching it for a week, and it is a danger and a menace to that neighborhood. To go up there would take every foot of hose in the city, and would involve considerable effort and leave tho main part of the city in a precarious position. Yet they need assistance up there and have a right to it. A cistern at Mam and Wall streets would bo of splendid service now, and will be of value at all times. There should be three or four of them. Of course they will cost money, but they would save their cost a thousand times over should tho dreadful firo break out above the present limit. F. T. Jordan of the new crockery rm Of Jordan & Bozorth, leaves on Fri day for San Francisco to complete pur chases and to facilitate the receipt of f oods delayed by reason of pressure of reigbt on all incoming steamers.

I will give a liberal reward for infor mation leading to the recovery of my household furniture and effects which were lost during the fire of the 2d inst. Mabtin Foakd. Pound Drowned. Last Sunday morning the body of j an unknown man was found in the- river oeiow longue romt. no was brought to tho coroner's rooms, and the following verdict rondercd by tho jury summoned for that purpose: "We tho undersigned jurors sum moned to appear before B. B. Frank lin, coroner of the precinct of Astoria, county and state aforesaid, at his undertaking rooms in suid precinct, on tho loth day of July 1883, to in quire into the cause of the death of said unknown man. Having been duly sworn according to law, and having made such inquisition after inspecting the body and hearing the testimony adduced, upon our oaths each and all do say, that we are un able to identify the deceased, that he was dressed in dark gray pants, blue overahirt, leather boots with two straps and buckles on the top of boot legs; deceased also had on his person fifty dollar j in money two twenties and one ten dollar piece, also a pocket knife and a carpenter's lead pencil. Wo are of the opinion that deceased was a logger or woodsman of some kind and that he came to his death by drowning in the Columbia river. Deceased was about five foot nine inches, heavy set, and red or nearly red hair, weight about one hundred and ninety pounds, about thirty years old and smooth face. All of which we duly certify to by this inquisition in writing by us signed this loth day of July 18S3. That Beeswax. Ska Siik, .July 17, 1883. Ed. Astokiax: I don't think that any living man ever heard of a beeswax wreck on Vancouver Island. When 1 came hero in 1843 1 made all inquires that anyone could concerning that wreck more on account of the great treasure that the Indians suy was dcp-tsited there by those people. It was at tho mouth of the Isolialcm rhcr; thero were thirty in number; that they had tails on their heads. They were white but not as white as we are. They were made slaves of by the Indians. When they came in from work they would sit with their backs to the wall to keep tho children from bothering them. There was a blacksmith amongst them; they would go to the beach at rundown and cry, and toll the Indians that ivas where they lived. Thomas McKay went with a company of Hudson bay mon to Xehaleni in search of the great iron chest. There are Indians here yet that know when Thos. McKay went down. I saw him in '49 in Cal., and asked him all about it. There is one Indian at Xehalem yet that says ho was a man grown when Lewis and Clark came hero. The Indians at that time lived where tho Sea Side now st&nds and that Lewis and Clark came there and made salt. This wreck was so many generations ago. that thu Indians have no idea when, but the beeswax is there to this day. They have a long story about it and I think a pretty true one but I am such a poor scribo that I will stop. Sea Sinn. You Giddy Thing! There is an ex-military chieftain, of very subordinate rank, down at Asto ria, who runB a paper. He is one of the kind of warriors who are invinci ble in peace and invisible in war, and of course he don't liko the Polaris. No serious results aro anticipated at this office. Who in the world is our versatile friend of tho Polaris driving at? The editor of this paper never in his life was a military chieftain of any rank, and as for being a "warrior," why, bless you, he scurries homo every night as soon as the paper is run off and never shows up till noon. As for not liking the Polaris, how can we help liking it? Another mistake. It is our weekly joy and pnmest solaco to read the witty sayings of our ver satile friend whose prosperity wo need only mention to illustrate how his metropolitan friends appreciate him. Across the Continent. Col. J as. Taylor, who left here on an eastern tour several mouths ago, arrived homo last Sunday morning. He had the best of health throughout and enjoyed a very pleasant trip. He went east from San Francisco over the Southern Pacific, going to San Anto- nia and Galveston, Texas, thence to New Orleans, up tho Mississippi to Cairo, Illinois, by rail to St. Louis; and then due east to New York, coming back he took a 1,200 mile trip on the lakes, taking the cars at Du lnth, from whence he started for As toria on the 7th inst. He is the first Astorian that ever came through on the new line, and expected to be ablo to buy a through ticket to Astoria but the D ninth ticket agent had not at that date received any instructions relative thereto. Serious Accident. The Fleetwood left hereon her regu lar trip yesterday morning, and when abreast Cape Horn struck a snag, breaking the stem of the propeller and disabling the boat. The rudder was also struck, and in turning the wheel one of the spokes struck Capt. Scott m tho face inflicting a painful .blow. The Mountain Queen took the Fleetwood s passengers on to their dpstfTin.fi an. nnrl tht Arnemmit. towfld her back to the Cass street dock where shelie3 for repairs. Trip to Bear Creek. El Astorlot: On last Sunday morning the writer was one of a party of eighteen per sons, to board the swift little steamer litlic for a pleasure trip to thi abovo ; point. Tho party included several i "slaves" of "the art preservative," whose only chance for rest or recren- j tionison tho Sabbath day. After; tho usual hurry and scramble and j tugging of well filled lunch baskets, ; and the various othor articles be-J longing to such occasions, the little I steamer backed gracefully out from i the crowded dock and sped away up the noble river. We saw and en-! joyed the beautiful panorama of the ; Columbia, which has challenged the descriptive power of betterpens. The rippling water, and invigorating- breeze of the fresh morning, filled all with pleasure and animation, and to tho printer men was the rarest treat for many a day. Our course up the somewhat tortuous channel of the lower part of Bear creek, was quite successful until within a few hundred y irds of Fisher's lauding, the head of navigation. Thero the unfitness of the Relic as a snag puller was conclu sively proved by a broken propeller, bent shaft, and distorted condition of of the sheet irou and hitherto grace fully proportioned craft. It being impossible to land the party in tho im penetrable thicket of brush and black berry vines that overlapped either bank of tho stream tho vessel was poled to the landing, and run aground for repairs at low tide. At this point the party disembarked. There is considerable open ground, and this immediate vicinity, and farther up the creek, possess attractions that are unsurpassed, for pic-nic and camping parties. Dry ground, delightful shade, sunshine, natural bowers, game for hook or gun, pure milk and pure water; what little else is left to desire can bo had. Mr. Fisher and 3Ir. Kindred live near the lauding and Miss Raj-mond is teacher of the small but well conducted school. Mr. Thompson has here a camp and at this point he has landed most of tho pipe for the first five miles of the line. That gentleman extended to us the hospitalities of his camp and by his personal attention rendered our amplo lunch, a feast. After lunch every one enjoyed themselves as they pleased. We went exploring up the creek and along the line of the pipo that is to conduct its waters to Astoria. Tho fountains that feed tho stream are pure; the bed of the stream is free from moulding logs, leaves and do bris, and over its rocky bed tho water dashes in its downward course, there by becoming thoroughly aerified. Wo drank all we wished of the pure cool water; one sparking glassful! con tains a moro potent argument for temperance than the sermons of a hundred reformers when supplement ed by the animated liquid which they are often compelled to offer as a sub stitute for water. Probably few per sons have any idea of the difficulties to be overcome in laying down this lino of pipe. To begin with it ia diffi cult to establish a line whero every foot of a trail has to be cleared with an uxe and the slaughtered brush and vines more than fills the track behind. In the email portion of the lino wo inspected wo saw where Mio dense thickets had been cut through till tho ground was ex posed and a deep ditch made in a tingled mass of roots and logs filled in with earth. It had to bo cut, picked, sawed and scratched. Iu some cases logs six or seven feet through had been cut, other cases burrowed under. From tho number of wasp's nests wo saw suspended in alarming proximity to the line, wo judged that an unusual amount of discretion as well as patience had been necessary to a suc cessful prosecution of tho work. The warning whistle was the signal for our return to the landing. Tho party was soon assembled and voted their unqualified admiration fur tho skipper who had been to the nearest machino shop and by means of a maul and a stick of cord wood had so far repaired the broken propeller that our safe but tardy rctnra home was assured. The party having to go, as it were, on three legs, arrived home rather late, but everyone thoroughly enjoyed them selves. All agreed that they had a drink of tho best and purest water and unite m wishing a speedy com pletion of the waterworks. Excursionist. An Elopement. CIIAPTEn I.

It is past midnight: a covered car riage stops at the gate: quietly a young man descends and listens: footsteps are heard coming toward him : a veiled la dy appears and is lovingly embraced and lifted into the carriage by him and rapidly driven to the landing.

Corner Concomly and Main Streets, ASTORIA, OREGON. Proved a Failure. The fish trap invented by Mr. Fraser some time since ha3 proved a dead failure. Tho specimen built here by a joint stock company and sent down the river some time since, has been tied up at Westport, and the stock is for sale cheap. The fish, whish appear to have no objections to running their heads into a seine, utterly refuse to enter the trap set for them, and the crew were obliged to purchase tho salmon they wanted to cat. Fish are curious creatures any how, and a net floating at random iu the river, or a revolving wheel jvichs them up br the thousand; but a nice, comfortable trap, with all modern conveniences, fails to secure n single specimen.

Editok Astouiax: It has been stated in the newspapers and repeated on the streets, that two of the parties who were, as we believe justly, flogged by the citizens' commit ter, were Italians, and iiemg or mat na tivity ourselves, we decidedly object to Having our countrymen accused of a crime for which they are in no-wise re sjvonsible. We have taken pains to as certain the names and nativity of the castigated individuals, and wo have found, and wisu the public to Know. that they were not Italians. It has be: cornea common practice, to attribute to our countrymen almost every crime committed on the Columbia river; this has undoubtedly been thoughtlessly done, without considerinc the injustice of it. Xow we, (by which is meant the Italians of thiscommunity),arc as much in favor of maintaining the law as the best and most law-abiding citizens. among which we claim to rank, and when any countrymen of ours is guilty of any crime let him be punished for it. and yon will find us ever ready to as sist in maintaining the law and pre serving or ler, but before any crime is charged against us, be sun that we are rubiHJiibioiu inr u. We think we are justified in saying. that a very small per eentage of the crimes committed in this com munity have been commuted by Ital ians, although a large percentage there of has been charged to them, the in justice of which we keenly feel, and of its injustice, we think every impartial man win ue assured, it nc laue me trouble of Investigating the matter.
