ASTORIA, OREGON: "WEDNESDAY... .....OCTOIJEK a, 18S3 Win. Howe gives notice concern ing his accounts. .1. Y. Hume has arrived home from a visit io the southern part of the state. Yillard stocks are goir. up again. Astoria real estat3 is selling, well, too. The Sacramento river canneries have closed, after a very unsatisfacto ry season. New York and Seattle dailies of the same date are received in this of fice by the same mail. The Astokian professes to pub lish more local news than any other paper in tho northwest. Chief Engineer Hicks sent his compliments to the several companies last evening in a form that was appre ciated. lhe board ot canalization was in session at the court house yesterday. They will probably complete their labors to-dav. Since the rain began the health of the city is improving aud the low fevers that were so prevalent two weeks ago are disappearing. The public school building is as suming a fine appearance. A four- faced dial to mark the hdur would look well, and it certainly should be placed in the tower. Local capitalists who have money to invest will find our new school house bonds a good buy. They run for ten years, the interest is fair, the security first-clrss, and the bonds can all be held at home. There be land rats and water nits; residents along the city front complain of portable property being stolen, and one or two threaten sum mary vengeance when they catch the pilferers. A ducking would do them good. Wily Walla Wallians have dis covered that the "essence of lemon" shipped to their city from Portland and there sold to the innocent Indi ans, is more than half alcohol. This is a eevero blow to a profitable in dustry. Some of tho correspondent's ro ports to eastern journals are finding their way out here. In the main they are well written aud truthful, though iu somo would seem to run a vein of regret that tho writer's previous opinions was not substantiated by ac tual facts. During the last season A. W. Berry of this place inaugurated a new industry at Rainier, which will soon dovelop into a profitable enter prise; the packing of oolachan, or can dle fish by a process which gives an additional zest to the taste and flavor of this Columbia river fish. Epicures praise it, and tho sales arc increasing. The Port Townsend-rlrns thinks it may be well before investing your 11101103 in a wild cat enterprise to in quire what kind of an adventurer pro poses to manage it, and where and why he has been fired out at other places, and how many drinks per day he dares to take without interrupting his duties. Which the same is true The city of Astoria is to be lighted by gas, and preparations are now being made for that purpose. This is a long step forward and is something that will inure to the bene fit of everyone. It is a pity, however, that iron lamp posts are not used. Thoso wooden lamp posts do not look quite in keeping with the situa tion. Yesterday, evening, for the first time in the history of the place, tho city's streets were lighted by gas, and when our street railroad gets running and the other improvements that aro talked of get under way, even the most moss covered unprogression ist will admit that the new way is the best. Capt. A. W. Berry received a dispatch yesterday saying that the American ship 0. S. Ihdbcri, which ho loaded at Astoria, and which sailed from here on July 30th, loaded with salmon for New York, put into Hono lulu, S. I., on the 30th of August, in a leaky condition, having encountered a cyclone. She lost fore-top-gallant mast and all her sails. The crew had to cut away main top and mizzen mast to save the vessel. No further ad vices havo been received concernin the vessel: it is probable the usual course of unloading, repairing, reload ing, etc, will bo gone through with. Silks, Satins, Dress Goods,' at Prael Bros. The Cairnsmore. The conflict of ownership of this un fortunate vessel still continues. A party of fourteen who went down to tho scene of the wreck Saturday morning claim her as their property, and refuse to recognize the claim of Brown & McUabe who bought her at auction last Saturday evening. Both sides are confident of being right. The purchasers claim that act ing under instructions the captain caused the sale of the vessel and car go, and at as early an opportunity as possible, because owing to the fact that a storm might suddenly come up her value would be greatly lessened thereb', and that it was to the best interests of all concerned to get as much for her as possible which could only be done by an immediate trans fer of owners' rights. The other side assert that they were first on the vessel, that she was aban doned and therefore open to the first comer; that thoy were not notified of the sale, and knew nothing about it until after the sale had been made; both sides have their advisers aud be lievers and nro able to adduce -arguments in support of the position they take. It may be that a compromise will be effected, and all go in together. A party who came up from Skipa non yesterday report that the work of dismantling the vuesel began on Saturday morning; and a great deal of stuff has been got out. There are twelve teams at work, and as the ves sel at low water or even half tide can be easily reached, the work of taking out her cargo and fittings need only be interrupted by foul weather. There are aoout three inches of water in her which swashed in through the after ports; the vessel is working down in the sand, though there are those who say that even yet she could by extra effort, be made to float. A staging has been constructed, and a sort of chute built yesterda' through which barrels, etc., are slid to the teams which carrT the goods to the shore. Everything got out so far i3 iu first-rate condition, aud if fine weather holds, the amount saved will bo of great value, but one severe-blow from the southeast would whelm the ill-stranded vessel beyond all possi bility of wreckage or salvage. In Bad Company. Chief of Police Loughrey received the following dispatch last Monday evening: Sa- Francisco, Sept. 29, '83. Mamie Paccle, or Mamio Adams, age sixteen, slim built, brown hair, etc, left on State of California Sunday in the company of "Hoodlum Dick Kelly." Ban away from home. Ar rest and detain her. Her parents will como for her. Auswer. if found P. Cjiowlky, Chief of Police. Loughrey arrested the girl on ;he arrival of the steamer yesterday and placed her in jail. The proprietor of the den to which she was being taken tried to have her released on a writ of habeas corpus; the question came up before Judge McGuire last evening, who decided that tho girl should bo held in custody until nine o'clock this morning, when he would give the case a hearing. Dangerously 111. The greatest apprehensions are felt regarding the recovery of Capt Alex ander, who is -lying at the lodgings of Capt. Wass with typhoid pneumonia, Ever since tho night the Queen was stranded Capt. Alexander has been suffering from acute pains in the chest, and when the Queen arrived up on her last trip from San Francisco, he was obliged to relinquish command and come ashore. For the last twenty- four hours he has been delirious, and the physicians have given strict orders to allow no visitors. It is the sincero wish of every member of the commu nity that the captain will be spared to many years of usefulness. Portland's assessment roll is caus ing considerable comment. It does look a little singular when millionaires are assessed for $15,000 and $1G,000 worth of property. The Orcrjonlan pays on an assessed valuation of $12, 000, though a hundred thousand dol lars would be cheap for that property, However, it is different with a news' paper. mo fc. jj. Uail is worm as purchase. b'-iuU.UUO. yet it is not as sessed on one-tenth of that sum. Th good will, the standing, the prestige and influence of a newspaper are matters that can not be made to ap pear as tangible property on a tax roll, and yet those are just the ad juncts that make a newspaper.

Aa a rule, partizan or personal newspaper organs do not meet with tho success that attends unbiased indi vidual effort. The person or party using an organ of this kind rarely if ever finds it such a help as expected and often it proves a detriment. Ita utterances are received as coming from a hired or prejudiced standpoint. Free and enlightened Americans de test nothing more than the efforts of a newspaper that is nothing more than a hired lackey when it should bo an independent leader of public senti ment. The individual wr partizan cause that needs bolstering up by a hireling newspaper is looked upon with doubt aud distrust. Almost any other kind of a paid agent may pur sue his calling without being locked upon as dishonest; but a newspaper, never. Partizan or personal organs rarely succeed in getting along amica bly, either. Usually their bosses disagree, or one is favored more than another, and dissensions follow. Tho same objection applies in a greater or less degree to newspapers owned and controlled by joint stock companies for specific purposes. Rarely does a newspaper succeed until it has been the means of sinking thousands of dollars; the amount lost is usually iu proportion to the magnitude of the enterprise. Stock holders have to submit to assessments in order to meet current expenses, and be coming tired of this, they turn upon the management as incom petent, and not infrequently the whole thiug passes into the hands of some publishtr who takes the property and assumes its liabilities. Very rarely does a publishing business succeed tin till it has passed through these stages nd reached individual ownership and management. Then, it has generally changed bo much from what was or iginally intended that the object has been defeated as thoroughly as if the business had died outright. It is tho individual, free, outspoken, untrain meled and fearless that wins admira tion in the journalistic field. The least snow ot partiality, or the mere suspicion of being under undue influ ence, will effectually cripplo his ef forts. One reason wiry so few papers succeed even at best is that few peo pie learn to appreciate the enormous cost of carrying them 011, until the lesson has been learned in tho bitter school of experience. People esti mate the probable cash income of a newspaper, and jump at the conclu sion that it must be a literal mine of wealth, when if they would but look at the other side of the picture and count up item by item the cash cost of carrying it on, their wonder would be aa to how itcouldbe made to pay ex penses. Port Toivnscnd Argttt. Shipping Notes. A light breeze rippled tho water yesterday and the air was in pleasant contrast to the murkiness of last week. Tho State arrived in at nine o'clocl and left up at one; tho Queen arrived down and went to sea in charge of 1st Mate Aermestern. Tho Iiiver Nith and Wigtotishire cleared for Queens town with 117,825 bushels of wheat worth about as many dollars. The Cluisca and Jlomer are loading salmon; the ScottlsJi Tar is finishing cargo; the Tarn O'Shanter unloaded yesterday and started eastward this morning. Yesterday afternoon three vessels came 111; the tintish ship Tienj Uross Menzies master, from San Pedro, in ballast, the British bark, Martha Fislicr, 811, Buckingham master, 7' days from Newcastle, N. S. W., with coal, and the British ship Kapunda 1018, Anderson master, 178 days from London. The Abcrlemno, Jtavciwton dale and Boxburgsfiire are at Baker's bay. There is an English bark out side with a pilot aboard. Removal.
