The State is due from San Francisco

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.

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

The Beda will load at Knoppton. This

laden.
A church sociable, proceeds to be do

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.

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

And provided also, That said bridge or

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

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

water, the direction and strength of the
current at all stages, and the soundings,
accurately showing the bed and channel

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.

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.

A Card from tho Chief of Police.
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.

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."
