The Columbia is due this morning.
County court adjourned yesterday.
The Sovereign of the Seas comes down
to-daj.

at eleven a. m.
Taylor, Young & Co.. are the agents
for the Tillie E. Slarbucli.
Yesterday was a dull, dark, dank,
damp, dismal, dreary sort of day.
At one o'clock this morning a driving
rain set in from the southwest. No irri
gation needed this season.
Portland's daily murder -was on Thurs
day committed by Tom Cornelius who
shot Ab. Lawrence in the neck.
J. E. Sibley, the leading man of Hob
sonville, Tillamook county, is in the city,
visiting friends and acquaintances.
The Tillie E. Starbnck will discharge
about 800 tons here, consisting mostly of
railroad material, beginning next Mon
day. Otto Van Geldoni, the clever 3oung en
gineer wno surveyed tno bar last summer,
is serionsly ill at his home in Sonoma
county, Cal.
Attention is directed to a communica
tion from ''Emigrant." He has the cor
rect idea, and clearly shows the necessity
for such action as he suggests.
The electric boxes, gongs, etc., for the
electric fire alarm telegraph has arrived.
The wire is all in place, and the sj-stcm
will soon be in working order.
The Portland firm to whom has been
given the work of completing the Kala
ma transfer boat have six months from
the time of the arrival of the Tillie E.
Slarbuck to complete the vessel.
The Tillie E. Slarbuck was the center
of attraction along the docks yesterdaj.
Thp fact that she is the first full-rigged
iron ship built in the United States,
brought a large crowd to look at the ves
sel. She will be docked to-day.
The grain fleet is clearing for Queeus
town "and Falmouth" this season. 'Tis
said that the port depends on whether
the captain is married or unmarried, but
probably more depends on the wind when
in the olfing, than anything else.
In the police court yesterday John Dee,
charged with drunkenness, forfeited $3;
the cases of P. Gorman, charged with
abusive language and resisting an officer,
and Policeman Beasley, charged with
abusive language, were continued to this
afternoon.
A New Company. Recognizing the im
portance of the efficiency of the Astoria
Fire Department, and the necessity for
maintaining a high standard of excel
lence, a movement is now on foot to or
ganize a new company, to be called "Hose
Company No. 2." This will bo the fourth
company of the department; inember
shipwill be limited to fort3', and the in
tention is to make it in every respect
equal in point of individual membership
to the other three. Now that the hy
drants are to be shortly placed through
the city this company will be a valuable
addition to our fire department, an or
ganization in which every citizen of As
toria takes a parsonal interest.
The Osstebville Raileoa.ij.-L. A.
Loomis is in the city and informs us that
$43,000 of the capital stock of the Ilwaco,
Shoalwater and Gray's Harbor Railroad,
has been subscribed. The utmost inter
est' is manifested in the enterprise, and
desire expressed to take stock. The pro
ject is one that is bound to result profit
ably, and as the chief question in any
enterprise is ''Will it pay?" it is capable
of abundant proof that in this instance
the railroad will be a dividend-paying
institution. Mr. Loomis is willing that
Astoria should share in the advantages
to be derived from the completion of this
road by furnishing a few hundred shares
of stock in parcels to suit. Portland
has expressed a desire to subscribe, and
what is good investment for one is donbt
less good for another.

A Sensible Letter.
Astobia, January 10, 18S4.
Editoe Asteriax:
Tho present situation and depression
in all classes of business, caused by the
completion of the Northern Pacific rail
road", and which was to be expected, since
the immense distribution of moneys
caused by the construction of such an
immense enterprise must stimulate every
artery of trade and produce inflation,
presents serious questions to anyone in
terested in tho welfare of our present
people of all classes, as well as the roam
ing immigration.
Let capital be invested in maintaining
manufactories and establishing new ones.
Oregon's resources are manifold, and
with the completion of thoN. P.R.R.
we aro placed on a competitive footing
with eastern manufactures, and that
verv favorably so, in the labor marketa.
First, all raw materials and staples re
quired for manufacturing are cheaper
here than east.
Second, the charges on manufactured
goods per railroad to bo brought out
place us in favorable condition.
Third, let it be known that manufac
tories are being established; this fact
alone will bring a most desirable class of
emigration, and in return will make a
demand and consume largo amounts of
our farmers' productions, and thu3 again
stimulate all kinds of farming on small
scales, such as the newly-arrived emi
grants must of necessity resort to. In
taking up new land, not one emigrant
out of a thousand has more than will
barely carry him through one year, hence
it becomes actually a demand to have a
good local market for such a farmer in
order to maintain himself and prosper.
Now, by encouraging manufactories to
create a demand for home production.
for in rain or sunshine the man who
labors in some manufacturing house will
have his regular meals and become
a permanent consumer of our produce,
the farmer again in return, if he finds a
consumptive demand for all he raises,
feels himself able and will encourage
and buy the articles manufactured at
home, to the fullest extent of his ability,
thus hand in hand the country must
prosper. Our farmers, as a whole, are
yet not far enough advanced to attempt
any speculation with their productions,
let freights be high or low, 40 per cent,
or SO per cent., thoy are obliged to sell
to exporters and subject to manipu
lations. I write as an instance and direct re
sult of manufacturing, the prosperity of
Astoria. We have no railroad, we have
no real estate boom, but a steady ad
vauco in real estate and a consumptive
demand for everything that can be
raised by our farmers, however are to
day less effected than any other commu
nity in Oregon by the present depression.
Astoria's manufacturing interests are to
daj', unequalled in magnitude by any
other city of like imputation in the
United States.
While the completion of the N. P. R. R.
will largely interfere with many branches
and houses doing business in lines of
imported goods, for reason of eastern
competition the completion of the
railroad is a direct benefit to manufac
turing at home, since it opens a new
field for our productions.
Let every voice be raised in behalf of
encouraging home manufactured goods
and the capital so employed will reach
its immediate reward and will not be
subject to Transcontinental and Wall
street manipulations, besides being
productive of providing many happy
mechanics with comfortable homes for
themselves and families.
Yours truly,
Emigbaxt.
Report of the Grand Jury.
In the Circuit Court of the State of Ore
gon for the county of Clatsop.
To the Honorable Circuit Court of the
State of Oregon for the county of Clat Clat
eop: The undersigned, jour grand jury for
the January term, A. D.1884, respectfully
submit the follewing:
That we have examined into all
offences brought to our notice and found
indictments in such cases as seemed to
us proper. We recommend that tho
county court provide at once some means
of heating tho county jail. There is no
stove or other heating apparatus and the
jail is consequently cold and damp, and
humanity to prisoners and witnesses
there confined requires some immediate
action in tho matter. We find the clerk's
office properly kept and the fecords and
files of the courts safely cared for and
properly arranged.
The. sheriff's office is also properly
kept, and the sheriff seems to perform
the arduous duties incident to his office
with intelligence and discretion.
The county treasurer's office is also
properly managed and conducted.
We visited St. Mary's hospital, where
the county poor are kept, and find that
institution all that a public hospital
should be. The neatness and comfort
displas'ed at this institution deserve
special mention, and, naturally, we heard
no complaint from any inmate in regard
to the treatment received.
We also recommend that more windows
be put in the county jail, and that
arrangements be made "for lighting it at
night. All changes to be made under the
supervision of the sheriff. It is necessary
that water closets be provided, with
water enough to keep them clean.
We also recommend that a new brick
or stone county court house be built.
This one is too small and so old that it is
not safe to hold the weight of a largo
number of persons in the circuit court
room.
And having finished our labors we ask
to be discharged for the term.
R. R. COLE,
Foreman of tho Grand Jury.

Liverpool sad London Salmon 5ote.
The salmon market continues quiet.
In latest advices it is estimated that the
shipments from the Fraser and outside
rivers will be 133,000 cases below thoso of
last year; but this deficiency will bo to
some extent made up by the increased
pack on the Columbia River, so that the
total decrease may be taken at 75,000 to
80,000 cases. Again, as an element of
strength in tho position of salmon, it
must be remembered that sardines are
not likely to bo cheap, for besides the un
satisfactory catch, tho price of oil is 23
per cent, higher than last year. Also the
deficiency in the supply of lobsters must
have somo effect on the salmon market.
On the other hand, the two cargoes al
ready arrived have only been partly sold,
and holders, therefore, are warehousing
their parcels.
At a public sale which was held by the
Hudson Bay Company, recently, 1,7G0
dozen tins preserved salmon ex Labrador
were all taken off at 8s 3d(28s 6d per
dozen tins (averaging 74 pounds gross
weight per case of four dozen); also by
the same ship, 562 tierces salted salmon
at 123s132s, with one lot at 1153 per
cask of 4G1 to 479 phuuds; and 103 bar
rels of 325 pounds each at 783tfi82s per
barrel.
Wo have no change to report in salmon
sine our last, as prices remain unaltered;
several parcels have changed hands at
holders' quotations, thore being no sign
of weakness, and the few parcels unsold
ex Ryevale are now being stored, con
signees anticipating that the turn of the
year will bring an increased demand and
higher prices.
With respect to salmon there is noth
ing new to report this week. Tho bulk of
the salmon unsold ex Ityecale tmd Emma
T. Crowell has now been moved into
store, and the pressure to sell ex quay has
consequently been removed. Another
account says: The demand has prac
tically ceased for tho present, and is not
likely to revive until tho commencement
of tho new year, when, as usual, thoro is
likely to be a steadj-business. The late
arrivals have partly been distributed
among buyers to arrive, and the re
mainder placed in store for future re
quirements. There is no weakness in
the market, as the salmon placed in store
is usually firmly held. There is now verv
littlo inquiry, and the prices realized dur
ing the past few weeks are with difficulty
maintained. There is no probability of
any advance taking place before tho
opening of the spring trade, and it is
possible that the much higher prices of
this season may so far reduco consump
tion as to prevent any further advance.
