Just the Thing.-.The new steel steam-

should reach ban rrancisco by the 23th
inst. Like the Olympian she was built
, , u" ?" "- "" "y " hi
been hinted that she was to be employed
between Port!nd and Astoria as a daily-
boat. The Oregonian says she could make
the trip'in less than five hours. Such a boat
could land passengers at llwaco in that
time, and go around to Shoalwater bay at
any time. The summer travel on the
Oolumbia would justify the placing of
tho Alaskan on this route, and would
have the affect of increasing the travel.
"While the trade of Puget Sound was
large last year, there is no certainty that
it will show an increase for gome time.
With the Olympian, Geo. E. Starr, NorUi
Pacific, Hayward and other boats there
the trade could well be handled, and a
daily boat to Victoria will not pay with
out mail contracts. The placing of such
a boat on the Columbia river would more
than prove a convenience, and it is woll
worth Serious consideration on tho part
of the O. R. & N. Co.'s managers. '
Chamber of Commerce. At the regu
lar meeting of the Astoria Chamber of
Commerce last evening, J. Q. A. Bowlby,
president, E. C. Holden, secretary, the
report of the secretary and treasurer for
the year ending January 21, 1884, were
read. Communicatiens from all over the
Union were read and appropriately dis
posed of. In the matter of a daily mail
between Astoria and Oysterville, a com
mittee was appointed to drafta memorial
relative thereto, composed of Messrs.
Kinney, Gray and Berry. The matter of
reducing the present schedule of time
for carrying the mail between here and
Portland was brought up and a commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Fulton, Taylor
and Dement appointed to make a full
and complete exposition of the present
schedule time, the need for its curtail
ment, and the necessity of expediting
the present mail service, and to report
at the next meeting. On motion the
meeting adjourned to meet on Saturday
evening the 22d inst.
Cceob d'Alene. Tom Hunter has re
turned from the Cceur d'Alene mines and
is not so enthusiastic over the prospsct
as others. He reports from ten to twenty
seven feet of snow, provisions scarce and
gold uncertain. He saw some good sjieci
mens that were bona fide productions,
but there was no proof as to quantity.
He says Cceur d'Alene City is the liveliest
place on the coast, as that is the head
quarters for all western departures from
the mines. As there are three several
locations on a good many of the pros-
Eects, tho probability for "a man for
reajefast" right along is very flattering.
Hunter has a contract to furnish several
thousand cords of wood, and will yoback
about May 1st.
Spobt at Clatsop. A large crowd wus
down at Clatsop last Sunday, the line
weather making an excursion desirable.
There is a good place there to make tho
best race track in the state, and were the
Clatsop road constructed doubtless some

Sunday there was a 403 yard dish of throe,
won by B. Allen's Thatcher. A match
game of base ball between the "Dndeh"
.and "Tramps" was won by the latter; the
score standing 9-8.
New Papeb. Vol. I, No. I, of the
Qrays Harbor News is on our desk. It
is a neat six column folio, published
weekly at Hoquiam, Chehalis county, by
Livermore Brothers, and starts off with
considerable go to it. Time was, not so
Tery long ago, when our mail from across
the river contained nothing but letters,
now we get three live newspapers, the
Vidette, News and Journal, all of which
shows the truth of Bishop Berkeley's
line, "Westward the star of empire,' etc.
Even So. Talking about quotations of
allegecTsalmon sales in Astoria, the Cal.
Grocer and Canner correctly says that
speculations are worse than idle at the
present time, on the eve of a season, re
garding the details of which no one can
do more than hazard a guess. The price
at whioh the canned product will ba sold
depends mainly upon the price at which
fish can be procured, and this is a prob
lem which will be solved only when the
Mason is fairly inaugurated.
Oct of the Coasting Trade. The
schooner Gen, Banning has been with
drawn from the trade between Astoria
and Gray's harbor on account of lack of
.business. Several circumstances con
spired to divert the commerce heretofore
carnea.ou uetweeu jluiuuuu aua .tvsiona
and Gray's harbor to San Francisco,
where the entire trade is now controlled.
The Banning will sail in a few days for
Ban Francisco. Oregonian, 17.
HeIvy Business. The southern Cali
fornia floods have so demoralized traffic
on the Southern Pacific railroad as to
make it necessary to convey all freight
nd passengers by water. The Queen of
the Pacific has been on the route and last
Saturday the State of California was put
on for a special trip to San Pedro, re
turning yesterday,

that it is no concern of the American

ernment, transmitted through the proper
channels, cannot be forwarded to their

the .secretary of state for the judicious
manner in which he refused to receive
from the Gr jian minister the returned
Lasker resolutions.
Oregon Salmon in Xetr York.
New Yoke, March 1G. Heavy arrivals
of Pacific coast salmon have stirred up a
lively strife between rival salmon dealer.,
who are ventilating their claims through
the newspapers. Fish Commissioner
Blackford was seon by an Oregonian re
porter. He said: "Salmon from Port
land, Oregon, is ai riving in lots of from
r,000 to 20,000 pounds per day. Freight
charges are about fourteen cents per
pound. The-se salmon are known as steel
heads, and are not considered of any ac
count in the Oregon market, but there
arrived yesterd.iy morning two splendid
specimens of Chinook salmon, weighing
tuirty-save-n aud Ihirtj'-niuo pounds re
spectively. These are the very bbst vari
ety, and are identical in appearance with
the Sacramento river salmon. They
hardly compare with salmon canght on
the Atlantic caught in quality, or with
salmon from the Kennebec and Penob
scot rivers. The opening of the Northern
Pacific railroad is going to revolutionize
the salmon industry on the Atlantic
coast, for as soon as Chinook salmon bo-
gin to run they will bo sent east by the
car load. I have already contracted for
three car loads per week, when they com
mence to arrive. 1 have no doubt they
will retail as low as twenty cents per
pound. J ust now you cannot get Uregon
salmon for less than thirty, and some sell
at thirty-five cents per pound. The aver
age weight of the Chinook salmon is
twenty-two pounds. They have been
caught as big as 70 and 103 pounds. These
big weights are peculiar to Oregon
waters. In other waters they run much
smaller."
Tha Astoria Land Grant.
Washington, March 1G. Senator
Slater, from the committee on public
lands, reported a substitute for the bill
declaring forfeited the land grant of the
Oregon Central railroad, and asked per
mission to file a report at some other
time. The substitute bill which is rec
ommended for passage declares that all
lands on uncompleted portions of the
Oregon Central, between Portland and
Astoria, granted by the act of May, 1870,
be forfeited and opened for settlement
on the same terms as if it had not been
granted.

The Albanv Democrat is assured on
good authority thut work on the Cali
fornia side of the Oregon and California
railroad will be pushed with vigor during
the summer, and it is stated that by Oc
tober there will be but a few miles of
staging to be done.
The Dayton Journal suggests as a pos
sible reason why Washington has not
been admitted as a state, the fact that
the Northern Pacific grant would be re
duced in case of admission to ten miles
on each side of the road, and that this
powerful corporation was interested in
having the territory remain outside of
the Union.
An enterprising citizen of Helena went
out to the Coeur d'Alene mines about
three weeks ago, taking with him a ten
gallon keg of whisky, which he packed
into the mines on his shoulder, says the
Cceur d'Alene Post. He made an even
thousand dollars on it, and is now under
stood to be on his way to the town with a
carload, purchased with his profit on tho
first keg.
The various parts of the new transfer

posts have been erected, so that, if nec
essary, the men can work night and day.
The great rush of immigrants for this
country, says the Walla Walla Journal,
has now fairly commenced. Sixteen cars
containing over 50J men, women and
children, arrived at Wallula Junction
last night, and three cars, containing
about 180 persons, cam6 through to Walla
Walla. The hotels were taxed to their
utmost capacity. This morning four
more cars, well loaded with prospective
settler.-?, arrived from wallula. 'ine im
migrants in the main ara composed of
thrifty Germans with money to buy

At a meetm" of the trustees of the
llwaco, Shoalwater bay and Gray's har
bor railroad, held in llwaco Wednesday,
says the Pacific Journal, a call was issued
to stockholders to meet tne 1st 01 April,
at which time tho propriety of immedi
ate tvmst ruction of the road will be con
sidf n.d. The election of officers for the
ensuing year will take place, and a perm
anent organization effected. Everything
paints with favor upon tho scheme, and
an enterprise never started undsr more
favorable auspices than does this rail
road. It is thought by parties who ar
woll posted that operations will not be
fairly started before fall.
The Farmers' Whirf and Transporta
tion company is the name of a company
organized recently, articles of incorpor
atiou of which were filed in the Pacific
county auditor's office Wednesday. The
object of the company is to build and
complete a wharf, docks and warehouse
in or near the town of llwaco, and to
build or purchase a steamboat or boats
or other vessels, also for the purpose of
carrying freight or passengers or for tow
ing and other legitimate business usual
in ihe line of wharf and steamboating,
on the waters of the Columbia from its
mouth to Portland and on tho coast to
San Francisco and the bays north and
south. The principal place of business
is llwaco. The amount of capital stock
shall be 20,003 divided into 403 shares
at tho par value of $50 each, with liberty
of increasing the same. Duration of the
company, 50 years. The incorporators
are John Briscoe, N. Howerton and
Robert Chabot.
O. P. Olwell, of Phconix, Jaokson
county, shot and killed a youag man
named Joseph Culver a few days ago
under the following circumstances: Two
burglars attempted to enter a house op
posite -where Olwell and Culver resided.
The lady of the house gave a cry of
alarm, which aroused both Olwell and
Culver. They rushed out to the rescue
almost at the same instant, Culver a little
in advance. The burglars ran and made
their escape, and in the excitement of
the moment Mr. Olwell mistook his
friend Culver for one of the burglars and
fired at him with a double barreled shot
gun with fatal effect. Xo one can regret
it more than he. It was another one of
those strange coincidences which cannot
be accounted for on rational principles.
Mr. Olwell is a man whom every one re
spects who knows him. Culver was also
a young man in high social standing. It
was simply a hasty mistake, and an inno
cent man fell a victim to it.
Persons lately arriving in this county
from the east, who came via San Fran
cisco, says the Corvallis Leader, usually
express more or less surprise at the na
ture of the climate, people, products and
society they find in Oregon. They say
that in San Francisco, everybody, and
particularly emigration agents, are loud
mouthed and bitter in denouncing every
thing in Oregon, and use every means to
discourage emigrants from coming here.
A gentleman who recently passed through
'Frisco on his way here, was told while
there, that if he came to Oregon he
would "have to live on squashes or starve
to death: that -thov could not even raise
potatoes up there." He states that had
it not been for the fact that he had re
latives in this county, from whom he had
received favorable reports and encourage
ment for coming here, ho would in ail
prooaouuy nave remained in ualiiomia,
so great was the discouraging pressure
brought to bear on him. Ho has become
infatuated with Oregon since his arrival
here, and does not speak very kindly of
California and her enormous liars.
