The Oregmian saj'a that the Co lumbia salmon packers import fishing boats from San Francisco every sea son. It omits to mention that these imported boats were carried from As toria to San Francisco at the close of the previous season for thoir owners' use in fishing on the Sacramento. A gentleman recently returned from the Gray's harbor country says one has no idea how that country is filling up. The proposed withdrawal of the 3fics i3 not rolished by the people of Montesano and elsewhere who aro at a loss for transportation facilities. Here is an opening for en terprising Asiorinns. A meaner report from the fire at Quinn's cannory last Thursday after noon is to tho effect that steam had been up during tho day for the pur pose of sawing wood, and it is sup posed in that way the fire originated, At sundown last cveaius tno ruins were slill smoking, mo nullum;; is reported to have beon fully insured Few beneficial organizations can show a more substantial record than that of the Knights of Pythias. The progress of the order in Oregon and Washington Territory is typical of its Miccess elsewhere. List year there were il lodges: tins year tncre are 24, with a membership of 1,020. During the year ending Juno 30th, 1S83, $2,665 had beon expended in relief; of this sum RJS was expended hj Astor Lodge 2s o. G. of this cit. November 13th is the anniversary of tho establishment of tho Grand Lodge of A. O. U. W. in 1877, and is a date of which this society may well feel proud. In the brief space of six 3'cars it has grown in California from ten small lodges and 3S5 members to 22C lodges with 15,800 members, pay iug out over a, quarter of a million dollars annually in that jurisdiction to the heirs of tho deceased brethren thus practically aiding and caring for the widow and orphan. At the time the Queen oj the Pa cifc went ashore on Ciatsop Spit the soldiers.at tho fort rendered valuable assistance. Among them wa9 Bu dolph Pfeifibr. who lost the cad joints of two of his riirht hand finders. Last weok, says the Vancouver Independent Goodall, Perkins & Co., the owners of tho Queen, sent Pfeifler a check for $100, also a check for $50 to be divi ded up among the remainder of the soldiers in the crow. This acticn of the firm above mentioned is credit able, as being a partial reward and as an incentive to further good action in time of danger.

From Alaska - On the Idaho which left Kinney's dock yesterday morning, came from Alaska 2500 cases of salmon from Ohilcat and Capo Fox canning com panies, consigned to the Astoria Pack ing Co. There wore 800 addition! cases for tho Northwestern Trading company and a miscellaneous assort ment of salt salmon, and furs, includ ing the skins of tho fox, marten, bear, sea otter, and mountain goat. Among minor curiosities, an Alaskan helmet in M. J' Kinney's offico is note worthy. It was brought down on tho Idalio and shows marks of conflict. It is made of "wood and leather, with a fierce front and in battle is useful to ward off tho blows of clubs or knives. The.no helmets are used by tho Chil catlndians.whoarethe Siouxlndiansof Alaska, warlike and powerful, com pelling tribute from other tribes and terrorizing their weaker neighbors. Over the Stick Indians, who live fur ther north toward the Yukon, the Chilcat Indians have such influence that a mere threat will keep tho cowardly Sticks from the hunting and Calling grounds for an entire season. The Stick Indians are described as be ing among the moat jpierabUi and de graded of any beings wearing the semblance of humanity. A Linn County Firm Attached. (SPECIAL TO TI!K ASTOWAX.J Poktlaxd, Nov. 2. Black, Porter fc Co., dealers in general merchandise at Halsey, Linn count, have been at tached. The liabilities are estimated at eight thousand dollars, of which $45,000 is due in Portland, $25,000 in San Francisco, aud $10,000 in local debts. The firm has been in business over ten years and has always had high commercial standing, their nomi nal assets amounting to $100,000. The failure is reported to havo been caused by the prevailing stringency tho money market, and want of confidence on the part of San Fran cisco merchants. The report having reached Portland that the merchants of the bay city intended attaching the rm, the Portland creditors got in head of them. It is thought the firm will pay one hundred cents on the dollar. There has been a marked decrease in the movement of freight northward from San Francisco since the opening of the Northern Pacific, aud agencies which formerly did a lucrative busi ness in handling Eastern goods in transit, complain of dull times. While Eastern freight has almost wholly coased, tho local trado with the Co lumbia rivor, is reported to be grow ing lees. Steamers which before the completion of the railroad refused freight two days before sailing aro now rarely filled. It seems likely that there will bo trouble about the charter of the bark Eowland Hill. She arrived here about 10 o'clock on Wednesday, and that evening tho captain reported to Messrs. Taylor, Young & Co., agonts for tho charterers, that she was ready to re ceive cargo. It seems that the bark got aground on her way up tho river, and it is now claimed by tho charter ers that she needs a survey and that she is not readj to receive cargo until such survey has been made. It is also claimed that the ship had not dis charged enough ballast to bo ready to receive cargo at the time the captain made his report. The captain and agent claim that the bark is in good condition, and will havo a Lloyds sur vey made to-day in order to establish that fact. It ia probable that the misunderstanding will result in a luw- j suit. Ortigoman 2. The Puget Mill company have on their stocks at Port Ludlow, V. T., the hull of tho largest barkontino yet built on the Pacific coast, a vessel of 700,000 feet lumber carrying capacity. She is all planked and the men are now planing her off, and in a month or six weeks sho will bo ready for sea. The same company aro preparing for the construction of a tow-boat at tho same place, to follow the barkentine. The steamer will bo one ot the largest tugboats in tho world, and will certainly be one of the most powerful. Her length of keel will be 140 feet, her breadth of beam 20, and her death of hold 15 feet. She will havo compound engines of 24 aud 48 inches diameter each aud 38 inches stroke. Her engines will bo of the same make and size as 'those of the steamship ictoria, while her boilers will bo steel. It is intended sho will be fast, while her power will be greater than that of any two boats new on the Sound combined. Vkc lUinmltf Conch BnlNnm.

Last Tuesday a gentleman who had been engaged in hunting for somotimo past met with an adventure so thrill ing that ho became for some time de ranged. Ho was hunting above Ska mokawa, in Wahkiakum county, when a deer sprang up and started to run down a canyon. Being a good shot, the hunter soon rolled it over, and proceeded to skin tho same. Ho had progressed but little when a largo bear came rushing toward him. Again ho levelled his rifle and sent a bullet crashing through the thick hide of Bruin. Instead of killing the bear it only enraged him, and after a moment's delay, more furi ously than ever he renewed the mad rush for tho hunter. Seeing that his only hope for saf&ty lay in flight, the hunter at unco dropped his gun and ran along the hill until a friendly cavo was discov ered, and in this he took refuge. The bear was unable to follow into iho black hole, but obstinately took a pos ition at the entrance, which for two days and nights he maintained. Oc casionally the hunter would emerge from his hiding place and look over, expecting the animal had taken his departure, but each time ho returned disappointed. With tho imprison ment came hungry and thirst, and finally tho loss of reason. After forty- eight hours of waiting tho bear finally left, and tho hunter slipped noise lessly from the cave, and rushed as fast as he could to an adjacent log ging camp, where ho was taken charge of, and with good treatment gained his reason and related his wonderful adventure. Search was then made for the bear, bat nothing could be found of him, although the mouth of the cave was trampled hard where ho had paced back and forth doing sentinel duty waiting for his victim. Wot this "Highland Light.' Astoria, Nov. 2, 1883. Editou Astoriax : In jour issue of to-day my attention was drawn to a statement inado by Joshua B. Webster in tho Bulletin, viz: That the ship Highland Light, now at Astoria, is an old friend of his, he having seen her at St. George, loading lumber, twenty-eight years ago. Mr. Joshua B. Webster, whoever he is, ought to have a chromo pre sented to him for his truthfulness. Tho ship Highland Light now at Kin ney's dock, Astoria, was built in tho year 1874, and was lauuehed sometime in October o tho same year, so that she is just nine years old, and Mr. Webster must bo mistaken in his as sertion. He is'also mistaken about the bark entine rig, and seams to know as much about that subject us ho did about the Highland Light. Youra respectfully, William Gregory, 1st Officer ship Highland Light. Upon reterence to the paper m which tho article in yesterday's Asto riax was originally published, it is ascertained that no mention is made of tho Highland Light being at Asto ria. Tho writer probably refers to tho old ship Highland Light which was lost twelve or fourteen years ago. Cap tain Reynolds states that his vessel is of tho fourteen-year class, having fivo years to ruu from tho 15th of this month. '-JEFF'S.

One of our exchanges, in discussing iho value and stability of newspapers, savs: A successful newspaper i3 not like a mushroom which cornea n in a night and vanishes in a day: it is rather typified by tho solid and enduring oak which grows slowly but surely, taking deep root and spreading it3 branches no faster than its foundation will war rant. The wrecks of mushroom jour nalism are numbered by thousands; the successes are comparatively rare, and generally well deserved. Hun dreds of newspapers are started by a class of adventurers who have every thing to gam and nothing to lose, and not meeting with the success they ex pect, after a short trial, let their pa pers die, and go to inflict themselves upon another community in a similar manner. Having neither tho abilry or the perseverance to build up a pa per of character or standing, thev aru forced to go to the wall. Such peo ple imagine that a few fonts of tvpe constitute a newspaper, and those who control such :i paper control the uni verse. Tho facia are that such con cerns are only a damnge ti t:iu com munities where they exist. They uny exist for a short time m tricks of beg ging or blackmailing, but their stand ing is soon know). A newspaper is simply a binine-M concern, with both nvato and puH:e amotions, and like very other legitimate on trpr:(n., inn-it nd will stand on it own m -ritf. u matter what exception! olTrts an taken to give it a trausuMit iiotori ay. A newspaper boom is of nil the booms tho most deceptive and ephemeral, the money speut in working it up being in most cases thrown away, unless there substantial worth and a solid foun dation for the enterprise boomed, with legitimate market for its extension. If it is not given to all men to becomo journalists, the general public is tho best possible judge of what it requires and prizes in a newspaper, aud from this judgment there is no appeal. The growth of successful news journals has generally kept pace with the prog ress of their various localities, and has not largely exceeded this progress mi cas m exceptional rules. IVotlcc.
