t. ASTOKIA. OREGON: I'ltlDAY OCTOHKR 5. 1BS3 The Victoria sailed for San Fran cisco yesterday. C. F. Martin, wife and boy, are on the incoming steamer. Tim Wekkly Astoriax is ready this morning with all the home news. The present year has been the busiest j'car in the history of the state. The breeze blew fresh from the southwest westerday. snd the water was lumpy. Tlio pioneers are reported side tracked at Wallula, owing to a "bar" in Snake river. --Plenty of water at last, and now comes a coal famine; well, if it wasn't that it would be something else. The Cuhunhin is due from San Francisco this morning; the State sails this afternoon; the Oregon is being overhauled at Hunter's Point. Capt. Alexander was somewhat better last evening, the fever having broken, though he is still delirious. The outlook is now favorable for his recovery. The five miles of cable which lie on navel's dock will be put in place between Fts. Stevens and Canby, as soon as Lieutenant Allen finishes his arrangements for completion of the line. The board of equalization, which, has been in session all week, meets again this morning, when matters will be finally adjusted. The aggregate of taxable propert3T wili probably be in the neighborhood of 1,875,000. Since the beginning of the season of 'S3, the total shipments of salmon from this port to date aggregate 433, 291 cases. Of this amount 180,215 cases have been shipped for foreign export; 38,237 cases went to 2Tew York via sail, and tho remainder 205, 839 cases were shipped on tho ocean steamers to San Francisco. Tt will be remembered that about two months ago, Chas. Thompson, a carpenter employed on Kinney's new building fell from the second story, breaking his leg. Mr. Blanoy, the foreman, has succeeded in getting a subscription of $105 for the family of the unfortunate man who is unable to contribute to their support. A resident of Brooklyn who has lately returned from a visit to the west of England tells of an English man who persisted in the belief that buffaloes furnished all the meat canned in America. Alter exhausting every argument to convince the English man of the absurdity of his idea, the Brooklyn man sarcastically admitted that the Englishman was right. "But," he addcd'whilcl am making admissions, I may as well say that all the canned salmon put up in America is also made of buffalo meat." From a party who came up from the scene of the wreck last evening it is learned that the small anchors, and chains, two full sets of sails, spars, rigging, etc., have been got ashore, in all about 4,000 worth, and when he he left 29 barrels of cement had been got out in good condition with a pros pect of unloading some more. The wreckers have two tents on the beach, in one they make their headquarters; in tho other they store the goods as fast as brought to land. Four teams arc engaged in hauling whatever is thrown oft' at low tide; while the tide is up, the stuff is being hoisted out on deck. Most of the water in her is aft; though yesterday's rough weather sent the sea clean over her, threaten ing her destruction. It is any thing but a holiday job and entails an en ormons amount of the hardest kind of work. No Relief to the Settler. In the case cf the Northern Pacific Railroad company vs George M. Pressey, the secretary of the interior holds that when a settlement is made on an odd section within the limits of a proposed grant, after notice of withdrawal was received at the local ouice, me aepartmenc can auora no relief to the settler, and in such a case tho railroad company takes the lau by virtue of the grant. The fact that the lino or the general route was changed after settlement, is immate rial, provided the tract fell within the line of the general routes, where im provements had been made before survey and by mistake placed upon an odd section. Good Staml to Kent. iKooms suitable for a barber shop and bath, or for other purposes can be had oi Li. l. Johnson, on the jtonaway. COURT OP INQUIRY. Story of the Iiossof theCairnsmore. A crowd of mariners stood around the entrance to vice-consul Cherry's office yesterday morning, waiting for a summons in reference to a court of inquiry into the lo3s of the Cainix more on the 27th ult. The court con vened at ten, in pursuance to the fol lowing order: Whereas, The British barque Cairnsmore, was wrecked near the bar of the Columbia river on the 27th day of September, 1883, and whereas I consider it expedient that the mat ter should be investigated by a naval court, I do hereby order a court of which I shall be president, to assem ble at the British consular agency at this place at 10 a. m., on Thursday, Oct. 4th 1883, for that purpose, at which court yon are hereby required to attend as members. P. L. Chekky, British Consular Agent. This was addressed to Capts. Pri deaux of the Chnncu, and Sherett of the Hirer Nith, who in conjunction with vice-consul Cherry, constituted the court, Mr. Joshua Taylor acting clerk. Capt. Gibb, master of the CoirnS' jkjv, was the first witness examined; his testimony was substantially the same as that embodied in the report furnished The Astoriax upon his reaching this city. In addition he stated that at noon on the day the vessel struck, she was in Lat 40,10 X., Long 125.45, V. , weather very thick, and smoky, wind baffling and variable; at 2 r. M., weather calm, vessel not steering, hove patent log, no bottom; at 5 r. M. wind sprang up set all square sail and steered N. X. E. which by his compass was X. E. by X. true;at8 o'clock shortonod sail, and took a cast of thJ lead; no bottom; at nine o'clock, the vessel going five knots, altered shin's course to N E bv by Is; at 10 o'clock hove yards back, having sailed 10 miles since 8, and calculating that the ship was 40 miles off the land; at 10:50 r. m., ordered second mato to lash tho hand lead onto the deap sea lead, to make it heavier. Question, Was the ship hovo to Ans., "I gave orders to pass the lead along aud haul in the starboard main braces, and to back the yards, but while passing along the ne, tho man having the lead in his hand, the vessel struck before the or- er to heave could be executed. I ordered the helm to bo put to star board, to heave her off to the north' ward and westward: then set all after canvass, threw yards aback, showed blue lights, but got no answer from tho shore. We got the boats over and dono all in our power to assist the vessel off, remaining by her till ft p.m. the next evening, mate being em ploved the whole day with boat's crew pulling to the ncrth'ard and south'ard to try to find out our whereabouts, with my authority to arrange with steamer or any other as sistance that could be procured to as sist her off. Hung off the shin at ft M., intending to board her in tho morning if possible, but when day light broke, being very foggy, and current having driven us to the north'ard, we lost sight of the vessel, but sighted tho American mail steam er Queen of the Pacinc. which wo boarded." Edward Goldswain, 1st mate, gave testimony substantially the same as the captain's concerning the strand mg of the vessel, when the court took a recess for an hour. Upon reassembling, the second mato Ji.. xi. f. uoctz was placed on the stand, his testimony also corrob orating the rest. He said that at 3 r m., on the evening of the 27th became on deck when 1st ma e had taken cast of the lead, took off t p gallaut sails; and royals, stowed royals and left top gallant sails hanging. "At 10 M., rounded to for suundings, but got no bottom, I casting the line my self. A few minutes before 11 o'clock got ready for another sounding, but ship struck, just as we were hauling the main braces. Captain gave or ders for everything to be thrown aback, set the spanker and gaff top sails hauled well to windward. Did not seem to help her at all, ship strik ing heavily. Early next morning at tempted to get kedge out, but sea was so heavy no one could get it into boat" The carpenter, two seamen and the oldest apprentice were also examined, and at tho close tho captain was re called to furnish additional testimony, after which the court adjourned till nine o'clock this morning. Wheeler & liobb have taken charge of the Daily Xews route. Persons failinc to receive their papers nromntlv will confer a favor by leaving their ad dress at ineir oiuce, as me route books of the former agent arc missing. Bob Burdette on Art- Bob Burdetto has gone in for art criticism. His mamen effort is too good to bo lost. Here it is: "Mis3 Honora Daubigne has just completed portrait of her father in oil. It would have looked more like tho old gentleman and would hare smelled infinitely more like him, had she worked the portrait in whisky. Still, a3 a work of art, it is a very valuable painting; $13 worth of tube colors were used in its construction, and the frame alone cost S45. The hair wart on Mr. Danbigne'a cheek is omitted in the picture, and the right ear which was bit off in a fight down at the red bridge ten yeara ago, has been re stored by the magic touch of the ac complished artist. The nose of the subject, also, has "been toned down, being treated in rose lakes instead of vermillion. To get at the true soul- fulness, the tout ensemble, the im mortal intellectual chiaro-oscuro of Mr. Daubigno's nose, it would have to be treated in the lake of brimstone, if there is such a color. As a work of art, however, the portrait is one of which our city may well be proud. It can be recognized by a glance at the name of the subject, which was neatly lettered on the frame, by Sten- ladder, the sign painter. Tho Pioneers. A letter dated Wallula, Oct. 3, in forms us that the pioneers arrived there all right, but the ferry boat on Snake river was aground and they were aido tracked; there are seven Pullman cars in the tram, the manuan, -cargo. Miles City, Ft. Benton, Kational Park and Ft. Keogh; there are also six emigrant cars. There is a little kicking because on the tickets is a clause that reads this way: "This ticket is not good for return passage unless the owner identifies himself as the original purchaser to the satisfaction of the authorized agent of Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway at Chicago, Illinois, on or beforo December 22d, 1883, following date of sale, and when officially signed and dated in ink and duly stamped on back hereof by said agent, this ticket shall then be good only twelve days from such dale."
