Stevens & Co.'s Senator Dolph and Slater have our thanks for olrieial documents received. Yesterday was a good illustration of genuine Oregon weather. Everybody felt better. Captain Dick Hoyt has been appointed superintendent of the Portland city dredge boat. Any one having hemlock bark for Bale can find a purchaser by addressing C. Leinenweber. There are five vessels about due. The Watts which sailed from New York over nine month ago, is given up for lost. It. was reported on the street yesterday that the cannery at Bay View had fallen down. Nothing definite could be learned concerning it. The Weekly Astohian, in stumped wrappers, ready for mailing, published this morning; full of news and home hap penings; price ten cents. The warehouse at the buoy depot at Tongue Point is a total wreck. The snow on the roof crushed it in. The resultant damage, is, fortunately very light. Mr. C. W. Shively, school clerk district No. 18, gives notice that the annual Bchool meeting of that district will be on the evening of Monday, March 3. The State of California fired a morn ing gun yesterday and came to the dock at nine o'clock. The Oregon came down at 5:30 and leaves out this morning. .If you have not already secured your seat for to-night's performance you "can secure an evening's enjoyment by getting tickets at B. F. Stevens A; Go.'s to-day. D.L. Beck, of the firm of D. L. Beck fc Sons of this city, left San Francisco foftew York on the 13th hist., where he will remain to look after the firm's in terests. The newest Chehalis county town is Aberdeen. It will be lively there this season when Mr. Seaborg and his aso dates get to work catching and canning salmon. Notwithstanding the great amount of rain and snow throughout the state dur ing the last week, but little rise is thus far reported in the Willamette or Co lumbia. The Rescue Jubilee Troupe had a dress rehearsal at the rooms of Alert H. fc L. last evening. They have given the great est care to every detail, and deserve a full house to-night. The Fleelvoood arrived down yesterday afternoon. While in enforced idleness Capt. Scott took occasion to have the vessel' thoroughly renovated and put in good shape throughout. It is reported that the City of Chester and Idaho will bo put exclusively on the San Francisco and Victoria route; and that the Oregon will go on the Sound route. Captain Alexander will resume charge of the Queen of the Pacific on her nest trip north. The annual session of the state temper ance alliance begun in Portland last Wednesday. The following officers were elected: President, J. W. Watts; vice- J residents, H. K. Bines, Mrs. Elizabeth ohnson and "W. C. King; secretary, J. E. Houston; treasurer, J. H. Lambert. A stroll along the roadway and through upper Astoria shows considerable im- Srovement going on in the matter of uiiding, and as soon as the weather ad mits, a good deal of grading will be done. John Devlin seems to be the only canner making cans at present; at some of the canneries boats are being repaired and gear put into condition. Very little knit ting is going on and the few nets that are being knit are taken at extremely low figures. In the house of representatives on the 20th. the public lands committee re dorted the bill to declare forfeited the land grant to the Oregon Central. Judge Payson of Illinois is one of the strongest advocates of land grant forfeiture and is laboring earnestly in our behalf. In a private letter he says he will, as soon as possible, visit Astoria, and will take pleasure in meeting Astorians and get fully posted concerning the exact status of the matter. Portland ad Astoria Mail. About ten days ago The Astobiajj gave expression to the opinion of a good many of our citizens concerning our present mail facilities, and said that Astoria had now grown to such prominence that the schedule time between hero and Portland should be shortened, and that it was but our just dues that the mail be carried be tween the two cities in less time than the present contract calls for. We had had considerable conversation with various postal officials concerning the matter, the general impression being that the best plan would be to direct the attention of the' governmental authorities to the mat ter, and when the next contract was lot, have different specifications concerning time between the ends of tho route. We further stated that we believed $16,000 per annum would be little enough for such increased service. The irresponsible little cur who is still whining and licking his sores, didn't know-as much then as he- does now, and thinking he saw a point that he could make, came out with a whoop, that we wanted to have the O. It. & N. Co. get $10,000 a year more; and kindred rot. Capt. Scott, of the Fleeticood, and Mr. Seelye, the genial purser of that popular Boat, were sitting in the cabin as we en tered yesterday afternoon. ""Captain," was our inquiry, after the fog, high water, etc., had been discussed, "wnat is it worth to carry the mail be tween here and Portland six times a week, annually?" "Sixteen thousand dollars," promptly answered the captain, "and I wouldn't do it for a cent less. My bid was $16,750 and I wasn't yearning for it at that prioeP' We give this as an illustration of how th& Dependent will try to distort the best intentions and honest meaning of others in an effort to make a point. Capt. Scott, like every other sensi ble man that has expressed an opin "ion on the matter, savs: "The matter lies solely with the government. If they've a . , mind io pay for it you can get your mail down nere in quicker iubb iu.cu ui present."

Been Needed I At various times Tit: Astobias has rec- j oguized the need of a system of tele-i phone communication m this city, and it is with pleasure we learn that arnmge. nients are now in progie to have a corn- plett system in operation in Astoria in- j .side of thirty dayh. Notice was mudei in yesterday's issue of the arrival of! John Lawrencs, assistant superintend-' ent of the Sunset Telephone Teh-graph Company of San Francisco. lesterday h6 started out to interview scni9 of our leading business men in reference to the ' matter, and the answers he received on all sides were so universally affirmative that ho felt warranted in telegraphing to have as much of tue material as possi ble shipped on the next steamer leaving San Francisco for this port. The idea is to put in a Bell Electric Telephone, tho best of its kind, and so arranged that absolute privacy of com munication is assured to each subscriber. The utility and convenience of such an arrangement will be seen at a glance. It will facilitate communication as nothing else could, and will be a direct saving of time, trouble and vexatious delay. Many a time as we have mounted our fleet Arabian steed and started for Uppar town or Uniontown in search of items concerning salmon, etc., or caracoled down to the O. R. fc2J. dock to learn of the movements of those that go down to the sea in ships and see the wonders of na ture in the great waters, have we wished for a telephone that could be turned on for instantaneous conversation. Mr. Lawrence assures us ho will supply tho '"long felt want." Ho will before leaving secure sufficient names, as every one that is approached says "yGS, certainly; put me down," and the resultant saving will be an item of itself. ao far. O. Ltmen welter, (who will have a special wire run iiing to his cannery) the O. It. fc N. Co., Wells, Fargo fc Co. The Astouiak, . W. Case and others have taken an exchange subscription; the central office will be at E. C. Holden's, and when everything is equipped for service tho wonder will ie how we ever got along without it. Tho charges will be $-0 a quarter for business houses, and $15 a quarter for private residences. To a city arranged as ours is, the instrument is invaluable, and especially to our Upper Astoria resi dents. The new enterprise starts out under the most favorable auspices. It is one of those things that is ''always growing;' as soon as it starts and proves a success, the sphere of its usefulness will constant ly oxteud, and it may be that in the course of time the line may extend to Portland. The company that are put ting it in have so perfected the system in California that a Sacramento man can sit in his office and talk to a friend in San Jose. Concerning the Cur That Wears Bob Wihl gren'N Collar. Goaded to desperation by the awakened stinging of a guilty conscience, the Inde pendent editor came out yesterday morn ing in a miserable attempt at self-justification. How changed his tone since the swashbuckler article that appeared in Monday's issue! Then he was full of malics, and after hunting and peeping into every corner in search of something that he could say against the editor of The Astoiuan, he was fain to acknowl edge that his search was unsuccessful. His manner of attack was a tacit in vitation to reprisal. The AsroaiAK never runs to a fight nor from it, and finding itself maligned by a our, it took up the whip that tnat creature was powerless to use and lashed the unclean animal into cringing subjection. Probably if such specimens as he can learn anything, he has learned that the next time he starts a fight he should be a little surer of his own position, "People who live in glass houses should never throw stones." He has earned the contempt of every thinking man in the community by his silly attempt to malign us. We" have no objoction to his making a fool of himself; nature has done so much for him in that respect that all he need do is to let na ture take its course and complete the job. Of course he haB the right to demonstrate his low instincts and prove himself to be a cur. but he should give his few readers a little credit for intelligence, and take it for granted that they have already found out what a consummate failure he is without further demonstration of so tangible a fact. He signs his name to the article. It really was not necessary. The mistakes he makes in an attempt to put tho Eng lish language together, furnish as good information concerning its authorship as though the signature had the affidavit of a notary attached. For instance: take this moj-ceaita:.- iWo haye avoided the sacredness of his family circle by malicious and infa mous charges. No gentleman would do that who has any salf-respect or decency.' He should have furnished a map or dia gram to explain his explanation. Any one who can make sense out of the above is a genius. The only analogy that can be derived from the quotation is that no gentleman who has any self rtspect or decency would do what he has done; a conclusion in which doubtless all will agree. Every line of his article is a confession of defeat. Realizing how ridiculous he has made himself appear, he sinks stil 1 farther in the mire by calling names and making faces. Of what concern is it to Astorians how much he owed in Port land, or how much he has succeeded in paying since he came down here? Let him mind his own business hereafter, and however malicious the promptings of his craven spirit may be, however envi ous he may feel towards men who can only look upon him as "clay in the hands of the potter," let him at least assume that which he can never hope to possess and try to be honest in speech and action. Salmon. There is absolutely nothing doing in salmon. The market is reported firm, which is not surprising in view of the fact that there is noxt to no stock of Columbia river packed now on the coast, one packer being said to be about the onlv holder. The askine nrico of this packer for export is $L32, which, con sidering the Tebate of 2c, is equal to 1.35.. The outlook for tue coming sea son is very favorable. Owing to the con dition of the trade, it is impossible to give satisfactory quotations. There is considerable stock of outside rivers in this market, though quotations would fail to express the situation, there being a wide difference between the aBking prices of the various holders.

The upper Columbia is full of ica. But little rise is reported sj far. The bodies of Lieut. DoLong and com rades, of the ill-starred Jcannctte expedi tion, have arrived in New York. A terrible slate of affairs exisis in southern Calif ornia, occasioned by floods. In the neighborhood of Los Angeles the damago is very great. A large party of Humboldt county, California, timber grabbers are under indictment in Sin Francisco on a charge of defrauding tho government. Tho government is about to send three vessels in search of tho Greelv party, who are supposed to be frozen in some of the icy fastnesses near the North i Pole. While calling for volunteers it might bo as well to get u crew n-adv to . go after the present proposed relief partv when thoy fail to return. " The trial of F. S. Harris, who shot Charles Whitehead, former editor of the ! Portland Xetcs, a short time ago, was closed in Los Angeles, Cal.. on i 20th. . The jury rendered a verdict of guilty with the recommendation of mercy. Harris waived time for sentence and was sentenced to one year at San Quentin. As soon as the bridge at Ainsworth, W. T., is completed, which is expected to occur about April 1, the Northern Pacific will put on a fast through express, from St. Paul to Portland in four days, to run in connection with a fast train over the Milwaukee and Se. Paul road from Chi cago, making the time from that city to the Pacific coast five days, saving one day by any former schedule. Foreign Salmon 3Isr.t. There i3 a very fair demand for really good quality; the condition of the ship ment per Gleabercie proves verj- satisfac tory; and among thoe we have seen samples of the Astoria Packing Co.'s salmon, which are of a very superior quality. From latest reports it is esti mated that the quantity of salmon ship-' psd from all rivers to this country will bo 140,000 cases less than of 1832 pack; all the good quality of which has already gone into consumption. London Grocers Gazette. The chief feature of the week, is the dealing that has been going on in salru m ! out ot tne newiy arrived cargo of 21.SJ7 cases per Glcnlervie from Astoria, which has been pretty well all cleared off at full rates. The outturn as t; quality is very satisfactory, and most of the parcels that have been bought have gone straight into consumption, showing that there is now a healthy demand for the article. In Fraser river salmon nothing of moment has been done pending fresh arrivals, but some parcels of old import are gradu ally moving off, and sales of British Co lumbia fish for arrival up to May next have been mads on proportionate terras to those current on the spot. It is esti mated by competent authorities that the net decrease in the shipments of pre served salmon to the United Kingdom this season will amount to at least 100, 030 cases. London Grocer. After recent sales of salmon there has been a comparative stagnation, and buy ers' urgent requirements having been sat isfied, they are at present wating tho market, and delaying anticipating their further needs: holders for the most part are very firm, but a few parcels ex Kate F. Troop are being oifcrsd at pricss slightly under our last quotations. Cor. London Grocers' Gazette. The last arriving salmon ship (the Kate F. Troop) is at present discharging her cargo, but very slowly. There dees not seem much inclination on the part of the buyers at present, at all events to purchase from the quay, and prices may be quoted as about the same as last week except for several inferior brands, par cels of which have changed hands at a slight concession. Good standard quali ties, however, in all cases maintain pre vious rates. As might haye been ex Ejcted, the arrival of the Glenbcrcie in ondon with 21,837 cases ha3 materially interfered with the demand from bU5: ers in that quarter, and a comparatively quiet tone may bo expected to prevail here for some time to come. It niaj- be observed that there will be no further ar rivals of magnitude for a considerable time, and in that case it may be reason ably expected that somo little advance in price will take place. Columbia river are quoted at 23s to 21s. Cor. London Grocer, Itest For the Weary.
