Compton, president of the new canning company at Tillamook, yesterday showed us a Bpecimeu of coal the outcroppings of a vein on the Neha lem some twelve miles from the mouth. The coal compares favorably with speci mens from different parts of the country brought to the office from time to time and is said to exist in paying quantities. A oompany called "The Tillamook Head Coal Company" has been organized and the coal measures will be prospected this season. At Occidental hall this evening will be presented for the first time in Astoria the great cantata of "Daniel." The theiuo is one that has attracted the attention of the world at every period of its history, the music is of a sublime character, the surroundings and appointments have been carefully chosen, the participants are all ladies and gentlemen of acknowl edged musical ability, the labor bestowed upon it has been constant and effective, and that to-night's perform?nce will be witnessed by an unusually large audi ence is due no less to the merit of the cantata than to the ability -with which it will be rendered. School Meeting. Tha annual school meeting in district No. 9, upper Astoria, was held at the school bouse last Mon day evening, there being a large attend ance. F. C. "Wright was elected school director for the ensuing throe years, and J. E. Higgins school clerk for one year. The meeting voted a three mill tax for expenses of improvements, and a three mill tax for the ensuing term's expenses. The last term of school closed last week: it is the intention to begin school again about May 1st, and have a ten months' term. The school census of the district shows 136 children of school age; 71 boys and G5 girls. Second Leotube. The second lecture for the benefit of the school library in district No. 1, will be delivered at the Presbyterian church next Monday even ing, the 10th inst., by Eev. T. L. Elliott, of the Unitarian church in Portland, whose well known ability as a pulpit or ator lends grace to many a theme. His subject will be "Pompeii." He will treat of the burned cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum; their life as revealed to us seventeen centuries after their de struction by the eruption of Vesuvius, and brings fresh from a visit to that lo cality a vivid imagery of what he there saw and noted. The lecture will doubt less be well patronized by our citizens. Obboon Fubs. An old trapper, who resides in the vicinity of Mount Adams, yesterday brought to this city a lot of furs, the result of his winter's labors, which realized about $250. Among the lot were over a dozen skins of the red fox and several of the silver gray. The finest of these, which was almost black, waB stripped from a fox whioh was taken alive, and kept by the hunter for several weeks. Owing to some misunderstand ing as to what he could obtain for the arumaljhe had killed it for the sake of the skin. Had he kept it alive, Eahn Bro3. would have paid him $100 for it, and it would probably have brought five times that much in New York or London, as there is no account of such a fox having been taken alive, and it would have been highly prized at the zoological gardens. The next silver gray fox the old trapper catches alive he will keep alive. The amount of furs brought to this market is less, this year than ever before, which is but natural. A great number of fine deer skins arrived yesterday from south ern Oregon, the sight of which almost leads one to suppose that killing deer for their skins is not yet done away with in that section.

A Xeedfal Improvement. i The concentration of the salmon bnsi- j ness at Astoria is directly in the line of progress in the matter of making that a ! legitimate business though there are a good many things still needed to be im proved on in this respect. Now nearly i u!l the machinery used is procurable at l Astoria, many of the improved appli- J r.uces are of Astoria invention and mant i fucturo and the fact that in 'S3 then StUe!b were in Astoria twenty-four canneries which packed 410.0J0 cases, and disjur.s ed 1,5j0,0j0 for labor nud fuppLes i.'lu6- trakes the important part our city ta-cc-s in this industry. Bat it is mani fest that much remains to be done; As toria should be the headquarters of the whole- business, of buying and seiiiug salmon, of the purchase of all supplies connected with the anmng business, aim i until this is 1oiia our pil.v will see uiuuy , ! hundred thousand dollars leave here ev-1 ! ery season that could just as well re main. Just as well, as far as the busi ! nt-ss itself is concerned a gread deal better as regards our material prosperity. There exists no adequate reason why there should not be a ''salmon ex change" here. The only reason is that it takes capital to start it, and that the present system of doing everything third hand has prevailed in want of a better. This is something that The As tokiax discussed at the beginning of last season; the result justified the remarks made at the time. The business is a widening one; it is an industry of which Astoria should be headquarters in every sense of the word. Just why San Fran cisco should send instructions to Port land, and Portland under such instruc tions should send to Astoria, and Asto ria, under these double instructions and diminished pror:t, should do business in this third-hand sort of way goes on just because it is allowed to obtain and for no other reason. The matter grows in importance vearly. From Coos bay to Alaska is growing a great industry the finance and business of which should be transacted in Astoria. Every timeg ods are handled, every time negotiations as to buying or selling pass through other hands, foreign or domestic, it necessarily means profit for the medium of commun ication, and the result is that those who do a great deal of the work and assume at least an equal portion of the risk, are not always in such a position at the end of the season as their labors would justify. These views may be combated, but their correctness cannot be gainsayed, and the sooner effort is made to make Astoria what it should be the entrepot for all the salmon business of this northwest coast the sooner the universal stagna tion for five months of the year will be materially modified by the quickening influence of coin in circulation. The op portunity is ours. Upon those engaged in the business depends its utilization. Xcw Stjle Fish Trap. Mr. Exon, of Portland, was in our office yesterday with the model of a fish trap or trawl not which he had brought with him from Hull, England, on the oc casion of a recent visit to that place and which, it is thought, could be used to ad vantage on this northwest coast. It is not intended to be used for salmon or any other surface fish, but it is be lieved that good ground fishing could be discovered and utilized by means of this net. The trawl net, when in use is rather a capaoious affair. The trawl rope is 720 feet long and six inches in circum ference; to this rope are attached -the different parts of the trawling apparatus; the beam, the trawl-heads, bag-net, ground rope, span or bridle; the whole being hauled in and worked by means of a capstan. The beam made of heavy wood is generally 38 feet Ioug, tapering at oach ends, and about ten inches thick in the middle. At each end is fixed an iron oval ring, about four feet by two feet six. The upper part of the bag-net which is made of stout linen thread, and is about 100 feet long is fastened to the beam, the lower part being attached to the ground rope, while the ends of the ground roue are broucht around the trawl heads. These being allowed to fall quite Blackly, the mouth of the bag net forms a semi-circle wxien dragged on the ground. Tho trawl-net is fastened to the trawl-rope by another ropo about double the length of the b&am; this is the span or bridle. Each end of tho span is attached to the beam so as to forai u loop, and to tho loop is knotted the trawl-rope. The ground ropa is usually an old rope, as in case the net should strike rough bottom it is desirable that tho rope should break and allow the re mainder of the gear to be hauled up. Now, if our readers will imagine the whole business pitched overboard from the stern of a little steam vessel and al lowed to drag aft while the 1. s. v. goes under easy sail or slow bell, they will see how it will scoop in the finny deni zens of the deep, provided the aforesaid finny denizens are there to be scooped, and a good many think they are. The matter will probably be given a trial off the mouth of the Columbia this sum mer, and may result in something worthy more extended notico in the future.

Aszebiak: After reading tho article in your issue of the 20th ult., I think it my duty to winnow it a little, and if I fail to make some parts of-it plainer to the readers of your esteemed paper, tho fault will not .... ,. - 1 will not enter into a aiscubaiuu ui mo merits of our last representation in tho legislative assembly. Perhaps our repre sentative from Tillamook may have bee nearer correct in voting for Mrs. Duni way for United States senator than we supposed at the time, for she might have made a better senator (or senatress, as the case may be) than the present in cumbent of that offlcfe. Be that as it may, our Tillamook friend got his man at last and that is more than we all can say. Let us pass to our state senator. The eulogy that was given him in yonr article needs no comment; it is all that is required. But if you had seen fit to pass the same eulo;;v on him that you did on his cjllcagae in the house it might have been as wll. In regard to the- figure that Clatsop couutv assumes in tho state capital, it is, without doubt, pitiable, and one that should have been remedied years ago. If I have been rightly "informed, onr repre sentative's action needs explanation at the "time the remedy should have been ap plied, whioh was at the time of the last apportionment of the state. We heard no more of apportionment until 18S0, when Hon. C. Vi. Fulton represented our county in the senate. He introduced a bill reapportioning the state. The fate of his bill you tnow; it failed to pass, and the reas.m iveii in your article is a good one. liut if -a will allow me 1 will make u little change in that reason, which I think will come nearer to the peint: "Both sides were afraid of the unknown quality, in politics." Let me say a few words in regard to the legislature in "82. I believe in giving the devil his due, and if I have been cor rectly informed and 1 am well satisfied that I have our senator from Clatsop, Hon. F. C. Reed, did introduce a bill for the reapportionment of the state, which, had it passed, would have given Clatsop county one senator anU two representa tives, and still kept a large fraction in favor of the third. But. lo! the fate of this bill was like that of '80. Now, to make this matter of apportion ment as clear as possible to the readers of The Astobian and to the voters of Clatsop county, let me say a few words. In the first place, let each reader of your article in the issue of the 29th and also of this article make themselves ac quainted with the constitution of the state of Oregon, and for fear many of them will not take the trouble to look it up, let mo copy Sec. 2 of Art. IV, which reads as follews: "Sec. 2. The senate shall consist of six teen and tho house of representatives thirty-four members, which number shall not be increased until the year eighteen hundred and sixtj-, after which time the legislative assembly may increase the number of senators and representatives always keeping as near as may be the same rptio as the number of senatoro and representatives; provided, that the senate shall never exceed thirty, and the house of representatives sixty members." It seems to me that when any clear headed person has carefully read the above section of the constitution of the state, ho will see that it is no easy task t j reapportion the representation of the state at this late day, when both houses of the legislature have all the members that the constitution allows. If we had got our just representation at the last apportionment of the state, we should certainly be better represented than we are, but even that would be far too small new: why? simply because our popula tion has increased more than fourfold since that time, else why do we ask or need more representation? And we must not forgot, wnile we are isolated from the rest of the state, by being way down here at the mouth of the Columbia river that we are the only county in the statu that has so increased in population during the past ten years; although some counties in the interior may not have increased so rapidly as we, yet there is not one that has decreased. Now, it is plain to see, while the number of sena tors and representatives allowed by the constitution is full, in order for us in Clatsop county to get a better represen tation, some of tho interior have got to lose some of their representation. And will some one please tell mo "who shall cast the first stone?" I do not think there was a member of either house ct the last session of the leg islature that would have voted to give up one senator and two representatives from their county in order for Clatsop or uny other to be better represented; and besides this, in order for our county to receive a just apportionment with our present population, it would increase the representation of Multnomah county to such an extent that she would have very near one-third of each bouse, and the feeling in many counties in the state was that they did not want Portland to con trol tho legislature, bo perhaps the best way to get out of the dilemma is to amend the constitution and increase the senate to sixty members and the house to one hundred and twenty. That is the onlv wav I can see for ClatsoD countv to get her just duo. If any one knows of a better plan let us hear from him. ASOCSCBIBEB.

German ministerial organs advocate an alliance between Russia, Germany and Austria with the CDming league of conti nental powers against tho maritime and commercial preponderance of England. The Kreuz-Zeitung, predicts the formation of a league, including France, to break the supremacy of England, which it says by the annexation of Egypt has completed the links of a gigantic chain extending from Gibraltar to China, and coiled around the body of Europe, monopolizing tho commerce of the world and making the Mediteranean sea and the Indian ocean an English sea. The Berlin Post urges France to join the alliance, promising more substantial benefits than those arising from her alli ance with England. Barclay Henlej of California has pre pared a report for the public lands com mittee in favor of forfeiting the land grant of the California and Oregon rail road. It was presented to the land com mittee yesterdaj for adoption and intro duced in the house yesterday afternoon? Henley says that during the past week he has received nearly one' hundred letters and telegrams asking that the report be postponed. Argument has also been mado that injustice would be done by de claring the grants forfeited. He says, however, that the facts in the case de mand that the grants shall be forfeited and tho report will be that way. Henley will also prepare a report of the commit tee forfeiting the land grant of the Northern Pacific railroad, which he ex pects to have completed this week. HOTEL ABBIFALS. OCCIDENT.
