"Writing of the salmon ship ment and market, the London Grocer of February 16th, says: The total ship ments from the Pacific coast of the 1881 season's packing amounted to 575,009 cases, so that the past, season's available shipments show a deficit of 101,797 cases egainst the pievious season's, and 122.972 cases against those of 1831. Again,com paring prices, "we find that in January, 1882, Columbia river salmon -was sold at 26s, and at the same period last year 2"s, was the firm price, but owing to the heavy shipments of a large proportion of very irregular qualities from the Fraser river, and their consequent sale at reduced prices, the market was forced down gradually to 22s 6d, the Season finally closing at 23s per case. The 1881 Beason's packing reached as high as 27s per case m August 1882, finally closing at 25s per case to meet the price of the ar rivals of the 1882 packing. This year we find the serious deficit in the shipment of the Fraser river packing, and we pre assured that the quality is all that can be desired, so one of the "factors which de- Eressed the market last season will now e absent. Calmly reviewing the situa tion, we confidently predict a substantial advance upon present prices, and those who have the confidence to take advant age of the present depressed market will well repay che cost of holding. Stocks, both in first and second hands, are very light indeed; in fact, most of the large dealers have been content to supply their immediate requirements, trusting that their:aalsten1coil.7WOuld further en use price&tatattj$fei2hcy cannot hold off nfKcnSontferafeTOjfiir stocks are to tally inadequate to meet the exigencies of the trade, and thelrparchasing will, we anticipate, force the- market up higher than even the situation warrants. Y. iT. C. A. The annual meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held in the rooms of the association last evening. The reports of the secretary and treasurer were read. From them it is learned that at the be ginning of the year there were 35 mem bers, and during the year 11 new members were added. At the beginning of the year there was a debt of 115.50. During the year the rooms have been carpeted, papered and refitte'd throughout, and made comfortable for those who wish to visit or participate in the meetings of the association. Three new members were admitted last evening. E. C. Holden was re-elected -president, F. B. Elbarson. vice-president; C. A. jHansen. secretary and treasurer; executive committee. Rev. B. S. MacLafferty, Z. Anstison, Mrs. J. "W. Conn and Mrs. E. McGregor. A re ception committee of twelve was ap pointed to receive and welcome visitors. It was decided to open1 a registry for tht benefit of those seeking employment or employes. It was also decided that the anniversary services be held at the Pres byterian church on Sunday, the 23d hist. At the conclusion of the regular business, the secretary, Mr. Hansen, on behalf of the "association, presented Miss Emma Holden with a handsome silver card cose as a token of their appreciation of her services as organist during the year. The meeting was largely attended, and great interest manifested in the workings and prosperity of the association. The Abeetstwith Castle. The Ab erystwith Castle, previously reported, ar rived in yesterday. This is the third visit of that vessel to the Columbia. The gallant part her captain played in days gone by is still remembered by many Astorians, who hold him in high esteem therefor. On the 28th of December, 1877, the American ship Nimbus, Leonard master, bound out, was lost thirty miles off Columbia river bar. Captain Hirris, who then as now commanded the Aberyst with Castle, sighted the vessel as she lay in distress, and stood by all day and the greater portion of the night. No hope remaining of saving the vessel,ho took the'erew off and started for Astoria with bis vessel, and meeting the Brenham about ten miles outside the bar ho trans ferred Capt. Leonard and the crew to that tug and went to the assistance of the British ship Pilgrim, which he con veyed in safety to San Francisco, pro ceeding thence on his way to Queenstown. For this gallant conduct in the hour of .great need, the Astoria chamber of com merce had a handsome gold medal en graved, commemorative of the event, and .presented it to Captain Harris, who wears the medal on his watch chain to day. The Aberystwith Castle is in bal last and goes up stream to-day in charge of Capt. Phil Johnson. Eulboid Surra Compbomised. The long pending disputes bsetween William ."Eeid-and the Oregonian Bailway Com pany of Scotland, says the Oregonian of the 14th, were yesterday amicably ad justed -and settled. Mr. Beid receives $17,000 of salary for his two and one half years services, irom ioy io ioqs, in pro moting, constructing, operating and car Sing on the various business of tho regonian Bailway Cjmpany, limited, Oi-egon Bailway- Company, limited, Ore- Sonian Navigation Company, limited, and Iregpnian Warehouse Company, limited, and withdraws the various actions he haB now pending in the courts against these corporations. The Oregonian Bailway Company, limited, in addition pays the claims of Mr. Beid's attorneys for ser vices in the suits, in consideration of which the Oregon Bailway company of Oregon has transferred all its station lartd3, rights-of-way and real estate in Oregon to the Ortgonian Bailway Com pany, surrendering all other claims it has against the latter company. The.--Gxmnastic Sooiett. The mem bers of tkV Olympic Club and the Astoria Gymnastio Society will meet at the hall pi the Alert H.&L. at seven this even ingjo take- into consideration consolida tion, transfer of stoclc, etc. The Olym pic Club is an old established corpora tion, and with the addition of the new members will greatly widen its sphere of usefulness. For some time the young Hni.who "compose the, association" have had nd regular place in which to meet and-practioe -athletic exercises, but Lib erty nail has-been leased for a year, and that spacious apartment will, in future, irieadquarjers for the club. The ap 3JBratus of the Olympics has been put 'pXflere, more juus ueeu oeuu aui uuiu San HV&acisceasd sundry additions and improfodeats ire in contemplation that will mike tie Hall an attractive resort -to members of the association and their rgz Tike Bell. The fire alarm rang outat nine o'clock last evening. The dSaVtdent'W&s promptly on the ground.

A Tillamook, , lad was recenty the victim of misplaced confidence. A large whale had drifted j ashore in the neighborhood in which he livtd, and his father desiring to possess , such cow tfd prize, fastened a rope, so i the nurr.itive relate, around the be- jieuioth'ri tail, and it was at this moment j of triumph that the over-confidentyoung- ster seated himsel upon the forehead of ! the monster. It appears that the whale una as yet laiietl to give up the ghost, and when it became aware of some ob M ruction to its breathing, it gave a somt- wnjiitinmuo snort and sneezed the poor oeguneu youtu titty yard out into the sea. The young Tfllainookite succeeded in reaching the land in a safe condition, however, but it is doubtful if he wi 1 scat hhnelf on tho n hhI a ipendage hereafter. School Statistics. From Superin tendent Sloop it is learned that there are in ClutMjp county 1,412 children of school age. The census of 1833 gave 1.155, which shows an increase of 257, or a lit tle over 23 per cent; '83 indicating an in crease of 21 per cent over '&2. District No. 1 increased 20 per cent; district No. 18 shows the wonderful increase of 7i per cent; district No. 9 increased 23 pe cent, these three districts comprising upper Astoria and the city proper. Dis trict no. 4, at westport, is; however, the banner district for increase, tie figures showing an increase over '83 of 8.5 per cent There are 22 school districts in the county, of which live show a slight de crease in the number of school cuildren. "Headed Off." The judges at tho school election in East Portland last Monday, acting under their interpreta tion of the law, were very careful in not allowing both husband and wife to vote when their i roperty was owned jointly by them, and several men on this account were debarred the privilege of voting, finding to their chagnn upon their ap pearance at the polls that their wives had 'headed them off." One individual b oame quite obstreperous and solemnly avjvved he would never pay a cent moro taxes if he coald not vote. He didn't vote, all the same. Light Houses. The house committee jn commerce has reparted from that committee two bills introduced by Dele gate Brents for the establishment of lighthouses in Washington Territory. One appropriates 85,0 for a ligut house aud fog signal on Destruction Is land, and one $15,000 for a light house in Gray's Harbor. The commerce commit tee report them with favorable recom mendations, and ask that they be referred to the appropriations committee for in corporation in the general bill. Police Coubt. In tho police court yesterday afternoon Mrs. Gillass, charged with the use of abusive language, was fined $10. B.. L. Jeffries, on a charge of keeping his restaurant open after twelve o'clock, pleaded guilty and upon explana tion a fine of 2 was imposed. Ho was arrested again about three o'clock yesterday afternoon on a charge of selling beer to customers, but upon promising that such an offense as fur nishing beer with oysters would not be repeated, he was discharged. Newspapers. The material lately used by the NortJiwest News is being tied up aud p icked away. The outfit of the late East Portland Democratic Era is to be sent to the Ccaar d'Alene country, where some one thinks of trying his luck. Four young men from Portland, where news paper work is ut present scarce, have em braced the opportunity to try and make wages for a lew weeks out of the Inde pendent which was started here last De cember. Vobk of Abt. The latest addition to The AsTOBiAu'a art gallery is a fine por traiture of the Bartholdi statue of Lib erty in New York harbor; several art con noisseurs have given the picture critical examination and pronounce it a credit to the enterprising publishers who have sent it to us.

At 10:30 a. m. he sells some household furni ture, and at 11, and again at 2 and 7 p. m. will sell to the highest bidder a limited number of lots in the north addition to Ocean Park. Alono inn Docks. The fine weather was the, principal topic yesterday in the absence of a more stirring theme. The Eskdale, which has been dischrring tin plate, was putting off considerable salt yesterday and will float eastward this afternoon. Pebsonal. Capt. J. H.

The Governor of Kansas has called an extra session of the legislature to adopt some measures to check the cattle plague which is absolutely destroying 73,000,000 worth of stock in that state. Tiie disease is spreading into Missouri and Illinois. The senate on Thursday passed tho Fitz-John Porter relief bill, and the man who twenty-one years ago brought de struction on the Union army by his cow ardice is now declared innocent by a court composed in part of those who fought against him aud naturally S3npathize with him for not doin his duty. Tho English t.-oopi at Suakem on the Bed Sea won n great victory over the Islamites on the 13th. The Egyptians fought with great valor, crawling under the cavalry and guns and furiously sljsh ng at tne enemy. "Heaven," said Nupo Ieon, ".a on the side that has the best artillery." The valor of the Egyptians was no'match for theGatling guns of the Saxon, which killed 4,003, and wounded G,000 more. The ZYhji.' New York special speaking of the rapid disintegration of what were a few months ago known on the streets as "Villards,"' says: "The Oregon Im provement company still remains in its old quarters, near the Northern Pacific, but has few if any interests in common with the latter companj. In fact its in terests are mainly diverse, for the center of its operations is in Seattle, a rival town to the Northern Pacific terminal town of Tacoma. The Oregon and Cali fornia company is now established in the Pout building, where is also the office of Henry Villard. He is still president, but as all its lines are leased to the Oregon and Transcontinental he has no official duties. H the lease snould be thrown up, as it is predicted on the street, he would be again just where he was in 1878, ut the head of a single local road in Oregon. He is going to Europe early in April, to recruit his health, aud, the people believe, to put on foot some mag nificent financial scheme. He looks well, physically, aud begins to walk once more with the confident tread of a man with resources and a hopeful future. Work on the California and Oregon Bill road. The work on the California and Ore gon railroad, which was renewed within the pp.st year at Bedding until recently the northern terminus has been prose cuted with great activity during the past few mouths, although there have been some delays necessitated by the removal of laborers to tho scene of the washouts on the Southern Pacific According to the latest information the road is now ready for grading for a distance of forty one miles above Bedding and nearly all the grading has been completed for that distance. Tho track has been laid for 33 miles bevond Bedding, or to the first bridge across the Sacramento. The bridge is nearly completed, as the timbers were all framed in Oakland beforehand and when hauled to the bridge site were in readiness for erection at once, thus re quiring but a .short time for finishing the structure. About three miles beyond the bridge is the longest of the several tunnels which it will be necessary to excavate before the completion of the road to tho state line. This tunnel will be nearly 2,000 feet in length through hard slate. Tho work to be done in it will retard the progress of the road considerably, as it will not probably be through before the 1st of June. A temporary track has been sur veyed around this point and the next tunuel beyond, which is only about 100 yards north of the long tunnel, but it is impassible to state whether the laying of a track around these points will be suo cessf nl or not. and upon this to a certain extent depends the rapid progress of the work. North of the great tunnel there will be three or four smaller ones to work through, but it is expected that be fore this work will be completed the grading between them will be in a pre sent ible condition. White aud Chinese laborers have been pouring in by the hundreds from Oregon, and plenty of workmen are on hand. Southerns, 5G miles above Bedding, is now the extreme front of railroad opera tions. There are venous tunnel and bridge camps along the lino surveyed, and the men now working at these points will be re-enforced in the spring by a large number of Chinese, if they can be obtained by the company. It is stated that tne road will be in marked contrast to that portion of the California and Oregon which was built up the smooth and level valley of the Sacramento from the line of the Central Pacific to Bedding. There will not be a more crooked railroad in California than this when it is completed, for the whole length of the extension there is hardly a quirter of a mile of straight track, the narrow valley of the Sacramento river having been followed where such a course was feasib.e. During the rainstorms landslides interfered to a considerable extent with the progress of the work, but no accident of a serious nature have been rpr.eJ. Chronicle. A'Xcw Departure.

Let the products of industry which can bo furnished cheaper by Europe than we can furnish them, and maint uu the position of American labor, bo supplied irom foreign countries, ana turn tour or five million men, women and children, now employed in such industries here, into agriculture for a business, and by so doing force the necsssity of gaing to Europe for a much larger amount of manufactures and commodities to supply the home demand and depend on their market for an immense increased de mand for food products, and we should simply force our p3op!e t the primitive occupifionof grjs3 products, and give the foreigner the privilege of furnishing tho finished products of labor and capi tal and reaping the benefit to foreign ac count, instead of its being placod to our own. Wasco Sun. It is an event that points a moral, both to those who are so anxious to embark in the newspaper business without knowl edge of the conditions that lead to suc cess or failure in it, and to the public, or that portion of the public who allow themselves to be victimized and swindled by every adventurer in journalism who comas among them to solicit their na aies and take their money. There is no busi ness in which sacses is so difficult as in journa'ism, yet every tyro thinks ho can succeed in it, and in every communty there are many persons, who as little gu'ded by jadg neat, receive his promises with credulity and lend thair f ivor to his pretentions, evidently under the impres sion that to establish aud conduct a newspaper is tho simplest and easiest thing in the world. Oregonian. The high school is useful in the system of a perfect education, but it must be considered one step higher and not trench upon the original system of the public or common school. It cannot be too carefully remembared that a high school or a collegiate education differs from what is called a common education, by -its having more than the latter can, the faculties of the individual, the very mind itself, in its eye. We know full well that it is a mistake to suppose thit that only is useful knowledge of which an immediate and palpable use can be made in the acquisition of wealth, or in Eroviding for the daily wants of the ody, but the child who 'cannot possibly remain at school beyond the fifteenth or sixteenth year, cannot become possessed of any knowledge beyond the chief funda mentals, audit is for this that our people are taxed. Standard. We have a good one on Tom Nicklin of the Reveille. Tom don't like Gov. Newell, perhaps for the reason that the latter re fused a pardon to Jenkin3 when he raid ed our hen roost. However, Tom don't like the Hon. W. A., and opened up a correpjndence with the governor's bit terett enemy, Mrs. Owings, wif of the territorial secretary. In a letter to th'at lady, thanking her for some very valua ble ammunition that could bo used against the governor, Tom referred to his excellency as "The old hen, painted whiskers, bafd-pated three-stbry addition from the state of New Jersey." Tom was so full of the name of Newell that he -couldn't rid himself of it at the propar time. He folded up the letter which be gan: "My Dear Mrs. O wings," jammed it into an envelope, Hopped it over and ad dressed it as follews: "W. A. Newell, Esq., Olympia." The governor read the letter very carefully and returned it to the writer with a hieroglyphic comment which, on being deciphered, read as fol fel fol eows: "My Dear Sir There must be some mistake about this letter. I have no personal acquaintance arith the lady for whom it is evidently intended, so I return it to you. Please accept iny s'n cere thanks for submitting it to my perusal before the lady had the privilege of reading it. W. A. N." Seattle Herald. Steamer Bays for .March. From San Fran.
