Salmon. "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.

Gymnastio Society will meet at the hall

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

I Mui'laced Confidence. 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

sea. The young Tfllainookite succeeded
in reaching the land in a safe condition,
however, but it is doubtful if he wi 1

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

examination and pronounce it a credit to
the enterprising publishers who have
sent it to us.
Needs a Hobse. It. E. Jackson, The
Astoiuan route agent, has bought a horse
to facilitate the delivery of the paper in
Upper Astoria, and after this will be able
to serve The Astobian before breakfast
at any and every dwelling from Smith's
Point to Tongue Point.

number of lots in the north addition to
Ocean Park.

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.

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

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."
