ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY- JULY 27, 1B83 Our Boarding House. The Gtn. Ifiles goes to Tillamook thiB morning. The Weekly Astoriax cliock full of nowa and information is pub lished this morning. The Salem Statesman has greatly improved of late, and is now of some account as an exchange. Judge M. A. Baker, of Dayton, W. T., is in the city, on a visit to his brother Dr. W. D. Baker. Some one deGnes news to be "something not heard before." If that bo bo, the discharge of the Idaho's gun must certainly be news. M. P. Callender has been ap pointed a member of the Washington Territory board of pilot commission ers, vice H. C. Comegya, resigned. Hot, hotter, hottest, hottentot, hottentotter, hottentotte3t, hottontot tissimo. Smoke. And dust. And heat. Where'. Wiggins and his storm The Leonard Grover Comedy Co., which appears at the. Occidental Hall this evening, played at the Baldwin and California theatres San Francisco, 129 nights, the largest engagement known in recent years iu that city. M, J. Kinney, of the Astoria Packing company, has a young bear, which was sent him from Chilcat, Al aska, and arrived in good trim on the Idaho. It will probably furnish us with another aud a longer item as soon as it gets big enough to chew up a small boy.- George Kicol, aged Cf, died last Wednesday evening at his residence in Portland. Ho was formerly chief engineer in Her British Majesty's service and latterby chief engineer on the Gussie Telfair and California. H had a wido circle of acquaintances throughout the northwest. Baron Von. Schilling, of whose immigration scheme wo gave an ac count some weeks since, is in the city in search of information concerning the Nehalom country and its adpta bility to the wants of the German colony that lie and his associates con template bringing to this country. The C. Southard Jhdbert is ready for soa. Sho takes 38,237 cases salm on to New York. She also takes 34 bbls. caviar, 4 kits salmon bellies, 12G bales wool, 1 bdL horns, 17 elk hides, 2 bales mohair, 5 cases curios, aud 2 cases of candle fish. This is the first cargo ever leaving the Columbia river for New York direct. She was char tered by an Astorian, A. W. Berry, and is an indication of what may be done in the matter of Astoria charters. Most of the machinery for the Tillamook saw mill which was on tho 0. K. & N. dock hero at the time of the fire, has been got out in presentable shape. The engine when it fell into the water imbedded itself in nine feet of mud, occasioning considerable trouble in getting it to the surface. Yesterday Gill & Clinton were hard at work, pulling at a donkey engine, formerly belonging to Brown & Mc- Cabe, but now the property of an in suranco company. Since the 1st inst., there has been a drawback on all foreign coal used in tne coastwise trade ana in our river and bay trades, on the presentation of a certificate from the proper party stating the amount and on what vessel or steamer used. On steamers in the foreign trade all required is a certifi cate from the weigher or inspector of the amount used. A drawback, or return of the seventy-five cents per ton duty, is then made good by the custom houso authorities. Joseph is., bmith received a con tract yesterday for driving the piles for inclines on the west bank of the Willamette opposite Albina, at Coffin Rock and at Kalama, to make throu connection between the Columbia system of railroads and Puget Sound. Work will commence this week. The large barge, "No. 1," will have her deoks raised and will bo used for the transfer at Kalama, while the Ark will be used for the same purpose at Al bin a. Eacli barge will have two tracks and can carry ten cars at a load Oritgonian SG. It. C. Templeman, in charge of the timber experts along the line of the proposed Astoria railroad has been m the city for the last week get ting items in reference to the relative merits of fir and hemlock. The great, almost inexhaustible quantities of the latter timber in this county suggests in Mr. Templeman's mind, inquiry in to ita value. He is satisfied that it represents a value of enormous pro portions One practical showing is the flooring in the county court Iioubo. That flooring is hemlock; was put down thirty years ago, has been tramped over by 'hundreds of thous ands of feet, aud is aB sound to-day as though put in pkee last year. Frank Fabre has reopened for busi ness in his fine new building opposite The Astoriak office. Ice cream, oys ters, coffee, etc., of tre best quality. A New Era. The changes of time furnish a fa vorite topic fwr a novpaper. Few things more strikingly illustrate the changes that years bring than a reali zation of the great railway syctem that will soon place this northwest coast in new relation to the rest of the Union, hi a few weeks the N. P. It. R., will be completed aud tho increas ed travol that always ensues when easier means of communication arc furnished will begin to come in upon us from the east. Every mail brings us letters of inquiry, I want to take up some land," writes a Virginian; "what's the show for a market in your neighborhood "1 have resigned my position on the morning paj.er in this city, what's the show for a pos sish?"says a Cleveland, Ohio reporter: ".My wife's health is poor, I rant to get near the sea'saj-s an Illinois man. "How much rain do you have at Astoria!" asks another, and so it goes. Already the railroad companies are reaching out for their share of the travel, and competing lines display in all the glory of illuminated cardboard the superior advantages of their routo. We may look for a big immigration next season. When the railroad is through to Astoria a good many will ride to the end of tho land journey and get their money's worth of the ticket they buy. A Just Complaint. Astokia, July 10, 1S3.. Ei. Astokian: Complaints are becoming loud con cerning the delay in getting steamers along tho coast ports of this district inspected. It is 3aid a boat awaited months at Tillamook for a visit from the Inspectors, although application had been made and tho fec3 deposited. Now boats are tied up by order of tho collectors of customs at this part for want of inspection, yet the applica tions were duty made days since. This is a season of the year when neither the public nor the boat owners can well suffer the boats to be tied up to wait the coming of lT. S. Inspectors. A new district should be formed at once so as to divide the duties of the present officers and relieve them of their great burdens. . Let a district be formed of the coast ports with headquarters at Astoria and a boiler and hull inspector be appointed to reside at this place. There 13 -work enough for the Willamette Inspectors to look after the boats of the interior. OnsKUvm:. We would suggest to "Observer" that he prepare a petition, and have it circulated; ho will get plenty citi zens who arc cognizant of the matter to sign it, and can secure a good rep resentation. The O. R. 8c N. Dock. Tho plans for rebuilding the O. It. & N. dock, which has been under discussion for some time, were finally approved by C. II. Prescott last Saturday, and the contract for cutting the lumber was given to Geo. Weid- ler, and the company's mechanics ordered to begin work as soon as possi ble. The original plan will be partly adopted; the entire structure will be 10D2 feet in iongth, and will occupy almost the same site of the old dock. The coal bunkers will be larger, hold ing some 300 tons more than the old ones, and will be at the .'stremo upper or eastern end. The offices will ba arranged more in accordance with the increased requirements of business, and the entrance will proba bly be one block further eastward than the former entrance. The piles will be cut down to the high water line, and capped; upon this capping the new dock will be rebuilt. The structure, when completed, will, it is thought, cost about $78,000. The Courier says: The black sands at Peterson's Point, on which the golden visions of so many have been shattered during ihc past quarter century, are now to be utilized m the making of steel, a company having been formed in San Francisco for that purpose. This sand is said to make a superior article of steel for cuttlery and small hardware. 1 here are al vast Quantities of fine gold in the sand, but no way to extract it econo mically has yet been found.

Early rising Astorians yesterday morning found an atmosphere of more than ordinary density; thick smoke had permeated everywhere; closed doors and windows did not prevent it from entering, and hand kerchiefs wero in demand. A light breeze from the east at dawn drove the smoke from up river fires upon us and enveloped the city in a dusky pall through which tho lurid light of the morning sun showed a copper disc shorn of rays. The firs to the south looked ghastly, where some fragments of morning fog had mixed with the smoke and was trying to get away. Tongue Point was invisible; in that direction Booth's cannery being the only point in sight; the smoke had settled so thick on the river that two miles ont in the stream j was the limit of vision in that direc- j tion, while looking out toward sea the onlv noticeable feature was where ocean fog and inland smoke blending in purple and gray. ships iu the stream and at the docks? were indistinct and shadowy; the J creak of cordage and the voices of j men could be heard, and at intervals j the form of tho vessel ccnld be made out. In the streets was a variety of shadings. As tho sun rose higher, and j the breeze veered to tho north came curioiiB streakings of blue, purple and rose; the workingmon on the buildings were strangely magnified, and tho steeples seemed to stretch indefinitely upward. The only certain thing about the wind was its uncertainty. It shifted and whisked around in a successful attempt to box the com pass, sending whirling wreaths of smoke in every direction and being the indirect cause of considerable profanity till finally in a moment of apparent good humor on the part of Aoolus came a fresh gust from the sea; the smoke parted, lifted, swung off behind the hill, tho great river spar kled in the sunlight, tho Washington Territory hills came into view; the awful bo' with tho bell and the screech came around the corner, and by tho timo tho baker and the milk man, and the foreign gentleman who has "sheep" smuggled silk to soli, had ;ot around, the smoke had cleared away. v Salmon. The London Grocer, of late dalo, says: Preserved salmon is being dealt in to a fair extent, rather more reason able terms have been acceded to for Columbia river fish, and 24s Gd to 25s Gd per case are now the nearest prices. Fraser river salmon, which is more liked because it is of better quality than usual and comparatively cheap, sells steadily at 22s Gd to 23a, and it will not bo until tho value of the two different sorts more nearly assimilate that Columbia river salmon will meet with the increased attention that it deserves. The Bodrhjddan, which arrived from Victoria as noticed in our last report, and was believed to be the last of the 1882 pack, was quickly followed by the arrival of the Gract Gibson on June 15th, with a further importation of 22,314 cases from the samo place, and unless other consignments are on the way, of which no intimation has been given, this vessel, which did not leave British Columbia till a month after the Bodrhjddan, must be tho very kit cargo o: the se:ison now drawing to a close. The Grocer x Liverpool correspondent writes: At present a dead calm seems to pervade tho market, and salmon ap pears to be no exception to the rule. There arc neither anxious buyers nor Eelle.rs m the market. Prices are snf- ncientiy low to tempt anyone wno is in a position to ouy, yet not low enough to induce speculators to step in. The demand in tho country is fair, but not by any means brisk; should, however, the demand usually experienced at tnis time ot the year Boring up. we may look for stifler prices, especially for good brands of Columbia river, of which there is no excessive quantity to draw upon From another source wo learn that the demand for salmon is moderately good, but at prices slightly below last week's rates, and it is evident that some holders desire to realize now rather than wait for any prospective improvement. The result of holding stock for many months back is not by any means satisfactory, as the accum ulated charges for interest and rent havo added to first cost without any advance resulting in prices. We quote 22s Gd to 23s Gd for Fraser riv er, and 253 to 25 j Gd for Columbia river fish. The first arrival of new lobsters reached the market this week, and consisted of about 1,000 cases, nearly the whole of which were sold to arrive.
