Tbe Republican state central commit tee meets in Portland to-day. Don't forget .E. C. Holden's Cpper As toria sale at two o'clock this afternoon. The Walla Walla arrived down yes terday afternoon and goes to Seattle to day. " The State is due from San Francisco to-day. The Oregon leaves oat this after noon. It would be ten dollars in the pocket of the Dependent editor if he had never been born. That was his first mistake. The box sheet for the Rescue Jubilee troupe entertainment to-morrow evening is at the store of B. F. Stevens fc Co. The Clara Parker is being given a thorough' overhauling and will be put in first-class condition lor the spring trade. The rain came down in a way yester day that showed a determination to make the February rainfall equal that of Jan uary. The Dependent seems to have made as a big mistake in attacking the police force as it did in trying to attack the editor of this paper. The little shyster that disgraces even the Dependent office is badly burned, and there's nothing left for him but to sit on the blister. The Dependent man says he doesn't know how to classify us. Astorians have no difficulty whatever in classifying him as a crawfish. There remains very little salmon on the river. There are about 5,003 cases in Coleman's dock, of whick a portion goes to Hamilton, Ontario. A clever cartoon, the work of a talented local artist, representing the present status, was brought to this office yester day, where it is on view. The Dependent doesn't like the, way Thk Abtobian is edited. Very probable. 'No rogue e'er felt the halter draw, with good opinion of the law." The Sumner R. Mead, 168 Java from New York, was spoken on Nov. '2l, 1333, in lat. 48 S., Ion. G2 W., with decks swept, boats gone, and bulwarks damaged. The libel case of Henry Olsen against the bark C. D. Bryant, has been set for hearing in the United States District court at Portland on Tuesday, February 26th. A plat of a new town in Clatsop county was filed in the county clerk's office yes terday. It is located on Necanicum creek and is the first addition to Ocean Grove. Yesterday's Dependent claims that it has 106 subscribers. If people on whom the sheet has been thrust against their will are counted, probably it has about that many. About 3.0D0 feet of pipe for the water works of this city have been shipped from Philadelphia, via the N. P. R. it., and are expected to arrive about the first of next month. Some of the Dependent stock has been offered us for 75 cents on tho dollar. No, thank you. Seventy-five cents would be a good deal to give for a controlling in terest in tho concern. Numerous failures are reported from the interior of the state. In this respect Astoria is very fortunate. The financial standing of our merchants and business men is good, and their credit gilt-edged. Recent arrivals from Chohalis and Pa cific counties, "W. T., report the snow, slush, and general discomfort in that re gion about the same as on this side of the Columbia. The streams are all booming. THe Lilian brings boxes from Knapp ton. The Astoria Box and Lumber Com pany are pushing their mill to comple tion as fast as the weather will allow. At the West Shore mill is a large amount of excellent box material, The Beda will load at Knoppton. This is a profitable vessel to own. She is bran new and has nearly paid for herself in a few trips. She brought in a big cargo of freight in a four days trip from San Francisco last week and returns lumber laden. A church sociable, proceeds to be do nated to the furnishing fund of the Pres byterian church, will be held at the resi dence of . C. Holden on Tuesday even ing next, 23th inst. This being the first rresoyienan sociaoie oi me season, iao attendance doubtless will bo large. Kev. B. S. McLafferty left on the steamer yesterdsy morning for the sound. He will be absent some ten days, daring which time he is engaged to lec ture twice at Seattle, and oncb at both Victoria and New Tacoma. His pulpit will probably be supplied next Sabbath by Dr. Scott. "Whenever our contemporaries do men tion the Dependent it is in terms of con tempt. The clever "News Rake" of the Seattle Herald, in its issue of the 16th, commenting on some of the Dependent's drivel, calls it "a case of chilled cheek and calloused audacity." "Calloused audacity" is good. The Dependent crew weakened and begged off. "What they did get was only a sample of stock on hand, and if they don't behave themselves they must expect another showing up. In the meantime the mortgage that Mr. "Wihlgren holds over the conoarn goes right on drawing 10 per cent, interest until after the election. John Lawrence, assistant superint6nd eat of the Sunset Telephone Telegraph Company, is in the city in response to correspondence from certain of our citi zena relative to putting np some of those conveniences. Among other ideas is that of having a telephone between here and upper Astoria, this would fill 'a long felt want," and be a great convenience. 'The clouds hung low yesterday and a .curtain of fog obscured the Washington side jof lb.3 river. The rain fell in 1bW7 snowers throuchout the dav. and wi3i the exception of a white patch showing here and there on the hillsides, the snow has almost disappeared. There was but little moving by land or saa, and the'only vessel -risible in the stream was the Shubrick. The little shyster who wears Bob "Wihl gre'n's collar around his neck and turns the crank of the mortgaged smut mill for" so much (or so little) per week, was Jeered and laughed at wherever he showed iiimself yesterday. Even his confederates have soured on him and expressed their undisguised contempt for his cowardice in provoking a quarrel and then sneak ing away in a vain attempt at denial. The Astoria and Coast Transportation Company held a meeting at the com pany's office last evening, there being a tall attendance of tho stockholders. Plans of a boat were submitted by J. H. Howlett and approved. A Doara oi ai rectors was elected, comprising the fol lowing gentlemen: J. w. Hume, C. W. Stone, E. A. Noyes, A. C. Fisher and B. A. Seaborg. A committee, consisting of 43. W. Stone, Jas. Fox and C. H. Cooper was appointed to draft a set of by-laws, asd the meeting adjourned to one o'clock Ikif af tecaeoa AD TYIX.NEMDCCA RAIL. BOAD. Foil Text of the Bill (Jrantln? Kightof Way. Senator Slater, on the 6th inst., intro duced senate bill U25, to grant tho As toria and "Winnemttcc? Railroad Com- i pany the right of way through the public lands and the right to construct bridges over navigable water coureea. The pro visions of tho bill are as follews: That the Astoria and Winnemncca Railroad Company, n corporation duly organized under the laws of Oregon, is hereby granted the right of way through the public lands of the United States of tho width of one hundred feet on each side f ilH ropd. Sec. 2. That the said company, and its successors and assigns, be authorized and permitted to build railroad bridges across the Willamette river south of Ore gon City, at such a point as it may select, and such other navigable streams or sloughs as it may be necessary to bridge alou the line of the said railroad or along) the line of any of its branches. Se. 3. That any bridge under the provision of this act may, at the option of said railway company, be built as a draw .bridge, or with unbroken and con tinuous spans: Provided, That if any such bridgeshall be made over the main channel of such navigable river or slough, and shall be of such width, and the low est part of the superstructure shall be of sucu-height above extreme high water mark as the secretary of the war may prescribe, and such "bridge shall be at right angles to and its piers parellel with the current or channel of the river or slough over which it may be constructed; and if any bridge under this act shall be constructed us a draw bridge the same-shall bsconstructed with an open ing over the center of the channel of the river or slough, and shall be of sach width, character and construction as the secretary of war shall prescribe, and the piers of said bridge shall be parallel with the current, and tbe draws of said bridge snail be over the main or deep channel of the river or slough, as may be fixed and determined by the secretary of war: Provided also, That said draws shall be opened promptly upon reasonable signal for passage of boats, and in no case shall unnecessary delay occur; and said com pany or corporation shall maintain, at its own expense from sunset to sunrise, such lights or other signals on said bridge as the light house board shall prescribe: And provided also, That said bridge or bridges, at the option of the corporation or company by which it may be built, may be used for the passage of wagons or venicles of all kinds, for the transit of animals, and for foot passengers, for foot passengers, for such reasonable rate of toll as may be approved, from time to time by the secretary of war. Sec. 4. That any bridge authorized to be constructed under this act shall be a lawful structure, and shall be recognized and known as a post route, and it shall enjoy the rights and privileges of other post roads in the United States, upon which also no higher rate of charge shall be made for transmission over the same, of tbe mails, the troops, and munitions of war of the United States, or for through passengers or freight passing over said bridge or bridges, than the rate per mile for their transportation over the rail roads leading to the said bridge or bridges; and the United States shall have the right of way for a postal telegraph across said bridge or bridgas. Said bridge or bridges shall be built and located under and subject to such regulations for the security of navi gation of navigable rivers or slouglis as the secretary of war shall prescribe; and to secure that object the said company or corporation shall submit to tho secretary of war, for his examination and approv al, a design and drawing of any such bridge, and a map of tho location, giving for the space of one mile above and one mile below the proposed location, the topography of the banks of the river or slough, the shore line at high and low water, the direction and strength of the current at all stages, and the soundings, accurately showing the bed and channel of the stream, the location of any other bridge or bridges, and shall famish such other information as may be required for a full and satisfactory understanding of the subject; and until the said plans and location of the bridge and bridges are approved by the secretary of war tho bridges shall not bo bnilt; and should any change be made in tho plan of any such bridge during the progress of con struction thereof, such change shall be subject to tho approval of tho secretary of war. Sec. 5. That the right to alter, amend, or repeal this act is hereby expressly re served; and the right to acquire any change in said structure, or its entire re moval, at the expense of tho owners therof, whenever congress decides that the public interest requires it, is also ex pressly reserved. New Mail Route. The growing im portance of our coast .trade renders necessary a mail route by water to Tilla mook. A pstition to the postmaster-gen eral to that effest is now in preparation and will be circulated throughout Clat sop and Tillamook counties for signa tures. Letters explaining tbe matter and fully demonstrating the urgent need of tho service, will be forwarded forthwith to our state congressional delegation. Old Time Floods. The prospects of a flood impending were thoroughly can vassed by our citizenB yesterday, and many bits of history in regard to tho great flood of 1851 were recounted by old timers. That flood is believed to have been the highest which has occurred in centuries, as the following incident would seem to prove. With the annihil ation of Linn City were also swept away several large oak trees which were at least 100 years old, the soil in which they grew being removed down to bed rock. Captain Armstrong states in regard to this matter that several larna red fir trees, which stood near the old Hudson Bav Co.'s fort at Vancouver, were killed bv the inundation. It is a well known faot that the Ted fir does not grow on ground subject to overflow, and this ac counts for the fact that the trees above alluded to were killed by the water sur rounding them. After the flood had subsided the trees were cut down and tbe annual growths counted, when it was found that they were 830 years old. Had the place been flooded at any tune during the 800 years those trees would have been killed. Oregonian, 20.

The last Baker county grand jury in dicted oight men for cattle stealing, great ly to tho surprisa of many in that sec tion. The annual failure of the fruit crop of the state is again reported. Ibe apples, blackberries, etc, will, however, be just ns plentiful as ever next summer. The Columbian says that there is an emigrant family in Forest Grove going into the Nehalem valley next spring. They report fifty other families en route for the same destination. During the progress of a revival meet ing lately held in tbe fork of the Assotin, C. Goodwin, superintendent of schools, was noticed to act and talk strangely, and believi-d to bo insane. The comniiioion-e.-s U'iug in session, an examination was ordered which resulted in his being do dared insane. The Paris Xeics publishes intelligence from Berlin which asserts that natural ized German-American citizens who have returned to Germany, aro again being rigor.jusly subjected to military duty,aud that tbe'GcToiau foreign office ignores United States Minister Sargent, and con ducts negotiations directly with Wash ington. Senator Slater's bill for th6 relief of M. P. Jones, jind reported favorably from the committer on public lands by Sen ator Dolph on tbe 14th of January, passed the senate on the 6th inst. witu out Miicndnieut. It appropriates $J1, 97.73 to reimbnr.se Mr. Jones for money deposited to complete the United States survey along the line of the Oregon Cen tral military wagon road in southeastern Oregon, tho surveys having been com pleted and accepted by the general laud office for the use and benefit of the gov ernment. The Tacoma New$siy, that the Ger man people of that city are niewhat excited in reference to Accounts recsully from H'juojulu, aaudtvich Islands, of somf thirty or more German citizens and their famines held in virtual slavery by .. wealthy planter, McFee, who holds them by virtue of a contract, and ref uses to release them until they shall have paid all obligations they have incurred. Re cently the German frigate Lcipsic took away a number of these working people who obtained money enough to release themselves, but the remainder could not bo reached. A San Francisco special says: The re ports pub.ished with regard to tho action of the mate of the sunken steamer Uma tilla, in refusing to give up chargo of the Vessel, are substantiated. Captain Young, master of the steamer irifmingfon.which arrived here yesterday, and which picked the disabled vessel up and towed her into Esquimalt, states that O'Brien would not give np chargo of the ship under any consideration. He was willing to accept all assistance and help offered, but kept command of the vessel, and in docu ments signed subsequently at Victoria, put himself as master pro tern. Tho Chehalis valley Videtle says that Kalloch, the secretary of the Gray's Har bor railroad, has abandoned his negotia tions for funds with New York brokers, who were too exorbitant in their de mands in the matter of controlling the road, and did not want to put np more than one-half the money needed; and that through Gen. Hazard Steven, a son of the well known ex-Governor Stevens, and who is well acquainted with all the resources and characteristics of the re gion, it is confidently expected that the bonds of the company will be placed with Boston capitalists within the next thirty days. Concerning the lieu land cases the Seattle Herald says: So far as Mr. Paul ScbuLzB can be regarded as an authorita tive exponent of the policy of the North ern Pacific Railway Company, the ques tion of lieu lands" may be regarded as settled. The company will not, propab ly because it dare not, claim value for the improvements made by the settlers on those lands, but will be contented with the price at which they were ap praised when taken up. It is all very well, of course, for Mr. Sohulze to as sume a sort of injured air of innocence over the matter, but his protestations are a good deal to thin for us to accept. Work on the Cedar river extension has been temporarily suspended, owing to the embarrassed condition of the com- 8 any building it, says the Seattle Post. ommenting on tha stoppage of work the Tacoma News says: This, it will be recollected, is the line Mr. Villard con tracted with the citizens of Seattle in mass meeting on his visit to that city last April to build to the Green river coal fields, and to connect with the Cascade division of tbe Northern Pacific railroad, the supposed to be located through the Green river, or Stampede Pass, on con dition that the citizens of Seattle should subscribe a bonus of $150,0C0 cash to be paid to Villard or any company designat ed by him to build said road, said fund to be paid upon its completion. The said fund of $150,OCO was reported to be, and doubtless was, subscribed, one of the conditions being that the road should bo commenced on or bsfor3 the 20th day of July, 1530, and be completed and in opsral.on on or before May 1, 1834. The popular subscription made oa this con tract does not appear to have been paid in by the subscribers. A Card from Mr. Welch. To the Editok op The Asteeian: You again call my attention to the con dition of the water pipes, and I will say that I think I know their condition per fectly. As far as the main in front of your ofllco is concerned it is in perfect condition, and to my surprise it has not cost the water company one cent to re pair them, as they have not been out of repair this winter. As to the community suffering, I don't see how they could when the water conmany fixed a place for them to carry water from, as you well know, Mr. Editor. It was fixed not only for our patrons but for the public I am willing to admit that it was inconvenient, but I don't see how it could be helped when the elements were against us. You refer to Mr. Hansen's p p93; his were busied, not the mains, as Air. Eipp can tell you, the man whom Air. Hansen em ployed to repair them. As to my brief authority you may have it. if you think you can serve the public better than I. AS I or menaaciiy a mins. x oum nave more. As for the coin sack I hope it will be an express wagon soon. Mr. Editor, the facts are that you have been misinformed as to all the water mains, except those running north on Main street. From C. Wright's to the Parker houso they are in poor condition and full of ice. But I don't think the freeze will cost the water company to ex ceed fifteen dollars to put these pipes in repair. Hoping, Mr. Editor, that this state ment of facts will be satisfactory to you and the public, I am lours respectiuuy, Jas. W. Welch. Dimmitt's Cough Balsam never fails. Try it, at W. E.

To the Editob of The Astoiuan : It was with surprise that I read in to day's Independent an article in which the editor of that sheet goes out of his way to attack the efficiency of the police force of this city. He certainly ought to have at least preserved silenca when the party in question was let off so easily. The facts were that his father-in-law was ar rested for a violation of a certain ordin ance which forbids a man making a nuisance of himself on the public streets, and in arresting him the officer did only his duty. When it came to sin the cbarsra the ofii22r didn't do so. and the officials, in consideration of tho nnnV, age, and through mistaken kindness to the "editor' who doesn't seem to be able to appreciate the feeling, allowed the matter to go over. Now lie attempts to misrepresent tho whole thing In one of his dirty flings, and has no one to blame but hinisolf for this statement. Yonrs imh . C. W. Louoiteet, Chief of i'olice. Astoria, Feb. 20, 18 U. Sorry He Pardoned Him. A gentleman ent2red a car at a way station, and m going down the aisle acci dentally knocked to the floor the hat of an uncouth, rough-looking chap who lay in a seat with his h6ad projecting over the arm-rosts. "I beg your pardon, sir," remarked the gentleman, politely. 'Yer want to be kind of careful how you go staggering 'rouud,' replied the ill-natured rough as the geutlemun passed on. "Venture to 'say he never asked any one's pardon," I said to the passenger next tome. "You're mistaken there," tho latter re plied; 'he begged mine once, very polite ly, too." " "Must have been some unusual circum stance." "Yes, indeed; he was in tho state prison and wanted to get out. But I am now sorry I pardoned him." "And you are " "Ex-Governor Thayer, of Oregon."
