What has become of all the I'i-sm, tho bear hunters and tho boar siorics that appeared so regularly two years ago? It is about timo Eagle Cliff was showing up. Perhaps the run of bears Is like the run of salmon, a little light this season. "How's salmon?" "Light." ''What's your high, boat?" "Haven't got any high boat." "How many boats are you run ning?" "Thirty-five." "How many sal mon have you got from the thirty-five boats for one day?" "An even hun dred." So say wo all of us. A. J. Smith of Nean bay thinks a stamer would do well to make an oc casional run up that way. It is part of the programme of tho Astoria and Coast Transportation company to make nn oc casional trip with their boat to the Quil letto and vicinage whonever business of fers.

The Bcda wili go to Alaska under char ter to the Pacific Whaling Company. She will carry a cargo of coal for tho steam whalers now in the Arctic, and also lum ber to build whaling stations at Point Hope and Point Barrows. It is proposed to develop the coal mines near Point Hope with the view of furnishing coal for steam whalers. Bates from the Nehalem was in yestor day, and talking of the candidates says he wishes he could vote for both Gra3' and Leinenweber and "just see what they would do." A good many think that it is a shame that Clatsop county has only a fraction of one representative when we are better entitled to two than other counties which send more than that number to Salem. However, only one can go, so that the next best thing is to send a man that will do the work of two. A petition signed by S. L. Bernard and many other citizens of Nehalem, Oregon, has been referred to the senate commit tee on coram eroe, in which an appropri ation of $3,000 with which to survey the Nehalem river in that state is requested. Petitioners state that Columbia, Tilla stook and Clatsop counties abound with coal, iron and timber, but aro without transportation facilities. It requires but a small sum to cut a channel eighteen feet deep, which will furnish .an outlet zor me products oi tneso turee counties. It will opst but 3,000 to survey tho river, and this appropriation is asked for. The ca3e in whioh Walter Robb of this city figured some time ago, and in which he got away with his antagonist, so to HTak. has finallv been decided bv the Supreme Court of the United States.

Tho last decision of the .highest power on earth the Supreme Court of the United States is that Walter liobbis guilty of contempt of court. We don't just know what he is going to do about it. Perhaps it would be just as woll for him to send the Supremo Court of the United States a line fat Chinook salmon, with his com pliments, and call it square. Public Speaking. The Hon.

J , tt hn- !? sel,bre a3 f?' Ple A work extended seacard from Point by the i spit to the southward; it is access Adams to a point two or three miles fb!e. it Irosbuli no unusual diLiculties, south of Cape Disappointment must cross lts co5t 1S moderate, :t can bo built m a dep channel of tho river over u milo ih yeais, it is m a ltn to receive in width, with asi unstable bed, which at ald fron h act,on tbe flood-tide and times m each dav carries several hundred thousand feet of water ier it per second. An encroachment upon the sectional urea of u channel of this character, m which water moves with considerable velocities, is likely t develop ait equal compensation by soouriug the bpd, so that the operation of closing becomes one of delicacy and difficulty, even when both banks can be occupied and stored with material in the most comeniout po sitions. Whero tho channel is several miles from shoro, with limited communi cation with tho shore and exposed to waves which disturb the bottom to con siderable depth, the obstacles to success are much increased. This combination of circumstances affects tho construction of such a work with :t considerable degree of uncertainty. The changes in pharos of the river en trance, while not. so sudden ns those which affect the bars of smaller harbors on the sandy coast, do yet occur within periods shorter than that required to complete a work such as has been alluded to. It is therefore quite xossible that such a work might bo overtaken during its construction by one of the changes which would not only forbid its further prosecution, but involve the loss of a inrt already well advanced to comple tion. These considerations seem to me to ba entitled to govern in a great degreo tho Erotection of a work at the mouth of tho olumbia river. They suggest that the formidable difficulties to be met iu deep water should be avoided until a plain necessity compels as to encounter them. Such a necessity can hardly be said to be demonstrated until all the advantages that can be realised from the occupation of Clatsop spit shall bo developed and found to be insufficient to effect the do sired result. Those advantages cannot bo developed until tho spit is occupied by a work raised to a higher level than that of low tide. The two points here sketched, namely, the extension of the jetty to deep water, and its height, are those in which I nm not able to agree with tho board. These remarks lead to inquiry ns to the extent and character of improvement pos sible, which shall not bo. exposed to tho great contingencies of cost aud disastor threatening a structure such as has been mentioned. Tho decaying influence of Sand JMand in dividing the waters of the river at its point of departure for the sea leaves the river in a more favorable condition for works of improvement than in this re spect has been the case for man.v years. This injurious influence, not now "large, is constantly diminishing. The i iver may soon be a unit between Point Adams and Sand Island. In lSftJ the river was di vided by the island into two large and not very unequal parts. One of these fractions maintained for its?lf for wrao yeyrs a channel over tho bar two miles wide, with depths of twenty-five to twenty-seven feet. Tho controlling natural feature which seemed to bo entitled to the credit of this great result "was Clatsop Spit, which, for more than two miles of its length, stood two or three feet above low water. It now lies four or five feet below low water, six or eight feet below its level in 1860. It is practicable to restore aud niagnif3' this condition of Clatsop Spit by a work which shall present no unusual difficul ties of construction, which shall be sub jected t6 a minimum of exposure, one which is practicable at a moderate cost, and capable of being built in three years. It may be remarked that it is not to be expected that the . restoration of Clatsop Spit will reproduco the chan nel in the position of 1853. The direction of Clatsop Spit and the unity of the river point to tho development of a channel well to tho north, approaching in posi tion that of 1792. If it were desirable to re-establish the position of 1868, it would be necessary to build works other than hero proposed, if inded the project could bo considered to bo practicable. To concentrate the river within moder ate width, and to discharge it as a unit to the sea, aro the objects sought. This condition attained gives the best assurance of good results. The most favorable xosition for a work which shall fulfill these conditions ap- Siava to be a lino on tho north side of latsop Spit and about parallel to the crest. This lino is now assumed to conform to the 8-foot contour of depth, in the ex pectation that this depth will afford a fair degree of accessibility, on the flood- tide, to vessels discharging stone, there by promoting cheapness. But for this consideration the lino wouldbo hotter located nearer tho crest of the Spit. K is possible, that a depth less than 8 feet may be found sufficient. If this bo the case, tho estimate of cost herein given, based on a depth of 8 feet will ba reduced. The line, as nearly as it can bo pro jected on the latent map. is 11,000 feet in length It starts from thG westerly side of Point Adams, and ends at a point near the end of tho spit, 3 miles distant form the cape, and about 2 miles to the eastward and one-half mile northward of the end of the work projected by tho board. ' The obiect to be secured by this work, i j WU1CU is merely mo ju.n-m.ai uuimwu of Uiatsop spit, permits cnouja jumuue in its location to take in all the natural advantages of tho position. This line is to be occupied by a work built to the level of mid-tide, being raised along its whole length to low-water, or nearly to low-water, before any large portion of it is built higher. The line projected by the board occu pied in the same way over iho portion of its length lying on Clatsop Spit, would be productive of the same or similar re sults, at somo additional cost. , Projecting this work as 12 feet high, which is 4 feet abovo low-water, 20 feet wide on top, and with slopes oi j. ana o oase respeouveiyt no wjh-cuv 276,000 cubic yards. become Placing stono at 4 por cubic yard, tho estimate becomes 1,100,000; adding 25 per cent, for contingencios, it is $1,375,- . yard reaBonablo,nnd npt likely to be es- cetidtd. Tho estimate is believed to bo full.

Tho csiliuiate is bused upon the use of stone, but wood in mattresses, and per haps in other forms may bo used with advantage. If this work were completed, it might at some subsequent time bo a question whothf-r it ought or ought not to bo raised above the high water level. If, as anticipated, Clatsop Spit shall form to the height of tho work, it will be comparatively inexpensive to raise tho line four or fivo feet higher. It would seem as tending still mere towards unity in the river, that further elevation in tho linn would he beneficial. It has been snggesled that tho elevation of a jetty to mid-tido level may interfere with the entrance of the flood tide. This might be the case if the bottom wero unyield ing. Tho history of tho river and com mon observations show the bed of the en trance to be very unstable. Beds of this character usually adapt themselves with great fucilitj to'changes of width. The construction of a work of tho kind proposed is gradual. It makes, day by day, no violent changes in sections. The ebb-tide has plenty of time to adapt it self to new conditiens: In confirmation of these remarks it may be said that in 18C3, when Clatsop spit was abovo low water and the middle sands and Peacock spit wfre shoaler than now, it was not found that the ingress of the flood tide was impeded. The fact that the channel then existing was one of the best the river ever had, would seem to indicate that the flood supplied all the water that was needed. Now that tho river section is much tu larged by the deepening on the shoalsi it is not'claimed that tho flood-tide sup plies mors water than it did in 16C3. San Francisco hnrlwr enters and dis charges its 3,003,000 cubic feet of average tide p5T second through an entrance of barely 1 milo iu width. Antilogy indicates that the opening of 3 miles is sufficient to permit tho en trance of 1,000,000 feet into the Co lumbia. Tho real concern of a project appears to bn to concentrate the ebb to get its maximum effect. If this bt- successfully done, the flood may be trusted to do its part. 1 am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. 'IIMesdeix, Licutcflont-Colaut'l,Curps of Engineers. A Well-KnoTrn Actress. Miss Phosa McAllister, who has a well earned and established position among leading actresses east, will appear at Oc cidental hall Friday evening, May 16th. This lady has a high reputation as an artiste and is held in high repute for hor many estimable qualities in society and by the public at Jargo in the eastern citie?. Miss McAllister comes here under tho management of Mr. Geo. Lawrence, who first introduced Katie Putnam to the northwest. Tho lady will be supported by a full dramatic company of sixteen people, and a repertoire of famous plays aro promised with n tout ensemble hitherto unapproachod. In speaking of Miss McAllister, tho Balti more Hun says: " Li regard to the drama, we have seen playing from ac knowledged first-class performers in Drury Lane theater that would not compare with the fine impersonations of Miss McAllister, now in our city. It was but a short timo ago that Mary Anderson was playing in tho backwoods of America; to-day the praise of Loudon is laid at her feet. Those who have seen them both will doubt very strongly if Miss Anderson could fill Miss McAllister's role in Par thenia or Leah, and the latter may be in. London next year." 0. R. & N Proposals. It is stated in New York that proposi tions to lease tho O. B. & N. Company havo been made by both the Union Pa cific and tho Northern Pacific railway companies. Tho Union Pacific offers to pay all fixed charges and 8 percent, divi dends on the stock, and the Northern Pacific offers to pay fixed charges and C percent, as tho minimum, ami 8 per cent, dividends if the road earns enough, Or, in case the earnings should go beyond 6 per cent., the Northern Pacific people will pay to the leased company one-half of all such excess. It is believed thpt both propositions will be considered in tho annual meeting of the O. B. fc N. company, which will be held in Portland next month. An injunction has been granted by Judge Wallace of the United States court, restraining tho 0.

Some of tbe oldest and most practical packers on the Columbia have stubbornly refused to ba influenced by whimsical buyers who have declared against the machine packed fish, and announce their inten tion of using the machino on the catch for this year. Others who are compelled to'be more conservative are discarding- the use of the filling machine, though they aro satisfied that the new process Tb equal in every respect to the older and slower method. Any one can find fault, but tho assertion yet" remains uncontra dicted that nine out of ten persons can not distinguish between the machine and hand-iilled fish. Tho following paragraph from a loiter of B. Gollin & Sons, of Liverpool, to the Grocer's Gazette, takes rather a plain stand for tho machines: "Now, during tho seasons of 1631 and 1832 tho fish was all band-packed, aud although we do not say that soroo of the machine-packed is not irregular, yet tho whole question lies in n nutshell, and resolves itself into the one point. Is the averago of the 18S3 season's packing superior or inferior to tho averago of the packing of tho two previous seasons? and wo unhesitatingly assert that it is superior, and' we therefore must abide by our opinion that machine filled, on the'whole, is as good, if not su perior to hand-filled, and that no pack ing of the former is of so low a grade as some of tho latter, packed during 1881 and 1832.'
