A three-story brick rould look well on the same location. Swarms of Chinese are arriving on every steamer, mostly from Portland and Se attle. 1j. B. Tranklin has a new arrange ment that is not exactly a hearse but serves all the purposes of one. Steam from the engines of the various canneries makes things look livelier. Nothing has yet been heard of Graham who shot Ne -son on Young's river last week: supposeu to have "lit out." Nelson is in no dan ger. The Astoria Gymnastic club will meet at their hall at 7 o'clock to-morrow evening. Final arrangements concern ing the telephone and the central office were made yesterday afternoon. The office will be in charge of an electrician from San Francisco, who will be on deck all -the time. Billy Emerson and his minstrels will be here on the 22d. That assessment racket didn't seem to be alto- ?;ether satisfactory. Plenty vegetable or sale, mostly from California. The delinquent school tax list of distriot No. 1 is in the hands of the sheriff. Arrivals and departures of steamers yesterday were very slim. E. R. Hawes is puttinp a bay window on his second-story corner. The steam collier Willamette is discharging coal. A Pokt fob Imfobtsbs. Among to day's overland freight was included a carload of tin, billed to Everding & Far rell, Astoria. This shipment appeared to be out of the ordinary run of affairs and inquiry was instituted. Just how tin can be Drought across the Atlantic- and thence by rail to this ooast with any profit to the buyer does not appear, but it is bein done, and, no doubt, at a profit. Inquiry revealed that the Pillar Rock Packiu company were the importers of the tin and that they had five more cars on the road. The tin is laid down here 25 cents per box less than direct importers by water offered it for. The first car came through from New York in 23 days; the others Bre behind this. If our importers are to permit or cannot prevent buying at the east, a very considerable tradt will be done in this way. Possibly the importer has felt too sure of his position and has not considered the new route. Ortgonian, 13. Akotheb Papeb Goke. After a hard tussle against fate for a few months, the Democratic Era of East Portland was sold on a chattel mortgage held by James Johnson for $23L John "W. Keily found uphill work from the turn-loose, and it is a wonder that he held out as long as he did, even though he be a newspaper man of years experience. The material, whicu consisted of a little type and office ma terial, was bought in by Police Officer George "Ward of this city, confidential friend and adviser of the chief of police and poundmaster, and Dick Gerdes. "What bis object could be to purcha&o the outfit and who f urnished the money wih come to light by future developments. Standard. EXTENSIVB PbOOBAMME. Col. Hogg, president of the Oregon Pacific, stopped off at Astoria a little whilo upon the ar rival of the Columbia. He is very san guine, is the colonel. It is hisulleged intention to run an opposition steamer from San Francisco to this port, will bring passengers from Portland to Ya quina fn thirty six hours and do various other commendable things, To an Orc gonian reporter on his arrival in Portland the colonel stated it is the intention of the company he represents to build from Yaquina to Snake river, and there form u junction with a trunk line to the east, and that the money is to be furnished by stockholders and bondholders of the Oregon Pacific railroad. New Save. The new safe ordered by the county some time ago arrived on the last steamer and was put in place in the office of the county clerk yesterday. It was needed for the additional security afforded imnortant naoers, and will be a valuable adjunct to the office. It is an ornate piece of composition, is 70x60x34 Inches in dimensions, weichs 50Ju pounds, cost $650, and is well worth the money. Crooked Bulboad. The California and Oregon railroad will be one of the most crooked roads in eristenoe. For the thirty-two miles already completed, there is hardly, quarter of a mile oi straight track; the road following the windings of the Sacramento river, wh?re possible, and boring through the mount ains where impossible. Almoit the en tire roadbed will be solid rock. - Fish and Molluscs. The gentle tom ood is no longer lured from the muddy Colombia, and has ceased to be, but his absence is unnoticed. "Steel-heads" and an occasional spring salmon, smelt, stur geon and halibut have made their ap pearance; from Clatsop comes the suc culent clam, and the Shoalwater oysters trere never in finer flavor. SttDDEH Death. C. S. Wright received a telegram yesterday morning conveying the sad news that his sister, Mrs. Eme line L. Smith, of Boston, Mass., was dp&cL Mrs. Smith was an estimable lady "who, during her visit here in the summer ef 1882, made ajjraat many friends and acquaintances who will regret to hear of ner demise. i Cabeless Shooting.

"BradstrecVfi'J is about as goodautbor- ity on the subjects of finance as is in the United States." Its high standing imbues its statements with u large amount of credence, and lienco it 13 regret to find in tho current number an article con cerning the Astoria land grant, which makes so specious and flimsy a plea as tho follewing: "This action is based upon the theory that the contract between the land grant roads and the government is, in fact, not a coutracl, but a donation upon the part of the government, an J that tho roa s, even wuen their contracts are in part compiled wnu, can oniy rauin tueir lauds as an act of grace or bounty on the part of the general government. This i theory Is essentially communistic. It ig nores the principle of vested rights, and it is not in harmony with the principles upon which all laud grant legislation is luunueu, as can readily be ascertained by any one who carefully reads the his tory of the land-grant roads, as it is found in tne donates." The editor of BradstrccCs well knows that the action of the house- committee can be based on no such theory as is al leged, but, rather, recognizing the fact that there was a contract, unfilled by one party, declares the stipulations of the contract void by reason of non-fclfill ment. All contracts contain conditions obligatory on all parties directly men tioned in the contract. The grant was in the nature of a oontract. Tho Oregon Central failed to fulfill its obligations. It was given nearly fourteen years to fulfill these obligations, till finally, as its lega tees flatly refused to fulfill the obliga tions that it had onco assumed, the house declares the contract annulled. The at tention of BradslreeCs is directed to the report of the committee in question wherein they say: It must be remembered that under the law the grant of lands to aid in the con struction of this road is a grant in prcs enti; and the conditions in the.act condi tions subsequent. The election to waive tho forfeiture cr to enforce it rests with congress. It is a question of intention, and neither tho executive nor judicial depart ment of the government can know what the pleasure of ongress may be, and can not, therefore, act to revest the title until congress has declared its intention in that regard. As to the grant, then, as an entirety, as a whole, the counsel insists that there is no power whatever in congress to deal vvitu it, and that we not only cannot but ought not to forfeit it. And here it may be well to call the at tention of the house especially to the position of this company. It not only never began the construction of the roau for whicu the grant was given, viz., to Astoria; it simply built out from Port land toward and up the Willamette vul jey, for xrarposes oi its own, to meet the California system, as is agreed by the counsel, and for ten years has utterly failed.und refused to move a spado of earth toward Astoria. Tuis is admitted by ceunsel: there is no pretense that there is any change in the pjlicy of the company, no promise oy anyone in authonty that any attempt .nil be made to do any Wont on the road, yet the counsel for it argues that wo can not and ougut not to attempt to take jack this great grant for settlement. liefusins to build the road and earn tho laud; abandoning the project abso" luteiy, mey insist iuui uu power uxisu m congress to retake the tit:o, but these lands must lie as u waif beyond our power. This is the frontier line of cor poration assurance in their claims to the public lands. We conclude that we have cne power to declare a forfeiture, and tue question is, how far does it extend? In cases like this, where there is no limitation in the act on the power, the declaration of forfeiture relates back tj tho date of the grant, and the govern ment is restored to its original estate. This follows from the nature of the estate eranted: the estate is ono on con dition subsequent, that is, an estate ha ole to terminate and become no estate on the happening or non-happening of some e-vent m the tuture. Here the legal title to the grant as an entirety passed to the company by the act as fuily and completely us though the patents had issued at that date, subject of course, to tho conditions named in the grant. Let this bo kept clearly in mind: that the act passed the legal title and con veyed an tue estate wuicn me grantee could get; the subsequent building of the road aud the issuing of patents only ,ave precision to tho grant, but did not add to or strengthen tho title which the company had under the act. What it iiad it derived wholly from the act niak ing the grant. This the supreme court has expressly and repeatedly decided. There has been an absolute breach of the condition of this grant 6ince May 4,1876, and an abandonment or the project Therefore thero is a right of forfeiture, dow far does it extend? After arguing the right to declare the whole grant forfeited, tho committee pro ceeded: Although the attention of the learned counsel for the company was especially called to this question (and tima given to examine into it), viz, th6 power to de clare an absolute forfeiture of this grant notwithstanding a portion of tao road uas been built within the time, not an authority has been produced to the com mittee snowing or tending to show that the power does not exist; nor does the committee believe that a respectable authority can be produced, either elemen tary or among tne reported cise3 de cided by the courts, holding that the power to declare an absolute forfeiture is not in the grantor in cases like this where there is no restriction in the act, or any subsequent enactment. There is no question of constructive waiver in this case, because nothing has oeen dune since the expiration of the time within which, the road was to have boen built. This, tho committee think, determines the legal question, and that congress has tho power to declare full forfeiture. But having the power, it does not fol low that it ought to be exercised. The question of proper policy, in the exerc.se of a wise and just discretion, is frequently raore diflicnit of solution than the one of legal rignt. In this case, there appjars absolutely no equity or claim to favorable consideration for aid for that part of the road built. AS cieany appears, it was not intenaeu as part of the road congress desired. The branch was to for a "point of junc-t"-n" with the main line, near Forest Grove, clearly contemplating a mam d: no road was ever built beyond that point, but constructed road, used as a part oi anotuermain nno.np to uorvaiiis, and south of that, to secure, not tho road aided by congress, but as counssl admit, "for the purpose of having a better basis of credit, to secure as speedily as possi ble tho completion of the uncompleted portion of both roads from Koseburg south to a connection with the Central Pacific," practically to secure and control the lines of transportation in the hands of Messrs. Huntington and Villard, and leave Astoria shut out from the privi leges congress intended she should nave. We submit they ought to aband n the grant; and we report the annexed bill forfeiting tho grant, for favorable action and passage. Attention! Attention!!

The policy of doing nothing has not hitherto achieved signal success." Cooking tho Lordly Salmon. ' "It's all in the cooking," said the res taurant man in response to a questien: "There is perhaps no other article of food that is so easily and so completely rained by ignorance on the part of the cook as fish. The aristocratic salmon is best boiled, and in order to preserve its color you will put it on in hot instead of cold water, not forgetting a tablespoonful each of salt and vinegar. If you have no fish kettle arrange the fish in a circle on a plate and tie an old napkin around it, so that it can be removed without break ing. After the water comes to a boil al low eight minutes to tho pound for a large fish, or a thick out, and five min utes for small fish. The sauces for boiled salmon are lobster, oyster and holland aise, the latter being undoubtedly tho best. For the sauce boil four tablespoon fuls of good vinegar with some white pep per and salt until it is reduced to two; let it cool, when you will add the yolks of four eggs well beaten and butter the size of an egg.. Place the saucepan contain ing this mixture into a large vessel, in which pour a little- hot waler. Stand on a slow fire, and with a spoon beat the sauco until it is light and smooth. Add the juica of one lemon and a little grat ed nutmeg, and you havo tho sauco par excellence for the salmon. Garnish the fish with water cresses and sliced lemon or fried oysters and parsley." Y. a.

Well, now, young man, filling teeth, as I do it, is like going to a matinee." Meanwhile he had strapped tho cul prit's head back in his chair, had cut a small hole in a sheet of rubber, and, thrusting both his hands into the con demned's mouth, he forced the afflicted tooth through the small aparturo. "frwaum! "Yes, you have guessed tho name. This is 'tho daai.' b j called by its. in ventor, who, poor cuss, never made a cent out of his idea. Luck of inventors, you know.
