Last Monday, a logger named Ktigoiiu j Cluchift, working at Mclnlirc tiros.' camp, Jack's slough, near Cath2aiii-t, met with a horrible accident which cost him his life. He was hook tender, and one of the dogs pulling out of a log, struck the poor fellow in the left breast, crushing it in and killing him instantly. He was a native of " ancouver, a singlo man, aged 29, and had relatives living at French Prairie. He was buried yesterday after noon. Pursuant to call a number of young men met at the hall of Rescue No. "2 yes terday evening to organize a Blaine club. Prank L. Parker was elected chairman and H. F. Prael secretary. A constitu tion and by-laws was drawn tip and signed. Those wishing to join can sign tho roll at the office of the secretary. Tho club starts off well and will bo heard from through tho campaign. Hon. T. A. McBrido nnd J. J. Barclay made each tin address, and the club adjourned to meet next Tuesday. Luscious fruit and riowers of rarest hue and sweetest odor arc daily received and gratefully appreciated at "Tin: Astorias office. A box of strawberries marked "Compliments of E. A.

They are to common strawberries what the Bprtlett is to ordinary pears, of gigantic size, brilliant scarlet nnd exquisite aroma. Curiosity prompted the recipient to weigh some of them. Thirteen, picked from oil the heap at random, weighted a pound, and the banner for size and flavor is awarded them. .Send Him it HaUhd. If there is a trade paper east of the Rocky Mountains, which believes that tho truth should bo told at nil times, that one is the St. Louis Grocer the great big deuce of trade journalism. It appro priates an erroneous statement from an exchange; is discovered in a grossly fateo position by the entire trade press, and then tries to throw the odium of its eiror on the paper it robbed. It has not yet discovered tho diffeienco between reports of the salmon pack of 1833 and of 1831, and still thinks this coast is ''bulling salmon." If ho will carefully examine tho straight can of 1831 pack and the can of "blowed" salmon of the pack of 1&71 (which we send him in this mail; we think he will be able to discover an appar ent difference in the bouquet, and possi bly learn that at times it is well to dis tinguish between the packs of different seasons. Cal. Grocer and Ca.iner. A Permanent Fixture We would inform the readers of this paper and ladies of Astoria more par ticularly, that the branch storo of J. Pilger'n Lending Snit, Cloak and Dress Goods House of J'ortlnnd, is an estab lished and permanent business fixture in our city. This .statement wc have been requested to make through tht-so columns to contradict the leports and statements znsde by other merchants to the effect that their location in Astoria was only for a short time. These malicious re ports do not speak well for the parties circulating them, and certainly not in a manly spirit of competition. Wo cheer fully endorse their success and lefer our readers to their now advertisement in to day's issue, presenting a paitiai pricelist of some leading lines to the ladies of As toria; also correcting the impreion that goods arc not sold by tho yard. You can purchase any quantity desired in any rvnlfl. Silksr satins, velvets, dress roods. etc., at tho low prices quoted by this en- texpriKing laui. To the indies.

She will remain a few dayB only, and the ladies of Astoria will havo a chance to consult with tho Leader of Fashions in regard to Styles, etc. Mrs. Pilger has tho reputation of being tho best fitter and most stylish dressmaker on this coast, and the ladies who nro in need of Summer clothes, will do well to consult her.

Held, which left here a few dis ago to open up a trado with that isolated portion of tho Tillamook coast known as the Nestucca, put in to Tilla mook on her way down and arrived safe ly at her destination the following after noon. After passing the Arch and Hay stack rocks, a uairow passage just wide enough to admit a steamer opens up be- I tween the sand spit on the north and the rooky cliff on the south. "When tho Field was well inside the liar and was swinging up the bay, Captain Babbidge, who had skillfully piloted his vessel through a comparatively unknown channel, woke the echoes of the Nestncca hills with the unusual sound of a steam whistle. The scattered inhabitants of that lonely shore appeared in force, and were unani mous in their approval of the unwonted sight. . .o diluent v was experienced in making a landing and tho cargo was stowed on snore, inside ilio bar nntl to the south east is a tine stretch of lnnd that is ' susceptible" of cultivation and will in time be valuable. 1 he settlement is as yet a sparse one, but no part of tho Ore gon coast is possessed of greater natural advantages in the matter of stock and dairying than Nestucca. To placo needs an outlet and a market. For instance: All this season good butter sucn as lillainook boasts has been sell ing in the Nestucca for fifteen cents a pound; lrsh eggs fifteen cents a dozen, but of course here being no market there is no zjle, and the natural resources of the country remain undeveloped. The country needs a portable saw mill, a steamer that will bring in supplies from Astoria and bring back hides, butter and eggs. There is a profitable trade awaiting joifl- one, und the first one in secures it. I 1.1FF. ON TI1K OCEAN' WATI". Among the many craft whose crew go down to the sea nnd see the wonders of creation in strnngo watorsis the staunch schooner. 1 ijJni whose goings and comings Inn 6 ninny times been ehronicled. Her last voyage is an eventful one. On tho lSlh if last April she left the placid shores of Tillamook, crossed tho harbor bar and siiled merrily on to Portland, where she took on a cargo for her owner, Mr. Olsen. "We next hear of her at Baker'., bay. with sundry liqnois on hoard for the delectation of our friends to the south. Breezes foul and tempests murky delayed tho sailing of tho gallant craft, but finally she weighed anchor, hoisted a heavy spread of canvas nnd swung out to the west. Nowoidorsigu of parting was heard from her from that day till last Tuesday when Capt. Bab bidge who was steaming to Nestucca in tho .1. 11. Field, sighted her off Capo Lookout, lie answered her signals of distress, put alongside and found that the crow was out of water, but in other respects they were doing qulto well. Ar rived at Nestucca he found the owner of tho missing vessel who had ridden in ozpav haste from Hoquartou in search of tidings regaiding his floating property. The following day ho started on tho Field and finally found the estray vessol tossing on the ocean, the Field for the second limo supplying the thirsty crew with water. The election in Tillamook was dryer than it was expected it would be, bat it is jtrobable by this time the Alpha is safely arrived at Hip doek in Tillamook. The Control or the O. K. A . The annual meeting of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company and the Oregon and Transcontinental Com pany will tako place in this city next Monday, tho 15th. Tho result is awaited with interest by tho Northern Pacific and the, O. R. and N. people, by the public generally and particularly by tho heads of departments of the O. R. and N., who want to know who is the authority nboe them. Since the disintegration of the Villard system, it has never been known who owned a controlling interest in the O. R. A' N. stock. This will be developed at net Monday's meeting. Tho Tiauscon tinental did hold $14,000,000 more than half of the entire stock. Who owns the $14,000,000 now is a matter of conjecture. One report has it that Northern Pa cific stockholders, or men friendly to the Northern Pacific control it. Another is that a majority is held by tho O. R. i. N. Company itself, that is io say: by O. R. & N. stockholders who are not special ly interested in the Northern Pacific and who prefer la maintain a neutral posi tion as regards the Northern and the Union Pacific. Still another report, out little credited, however, is that the Cen tral Pacific people have secured the stock. This much is known "Dresei" Morgan fc Co.. of Now York, hold the proxies for a,000,000 of the $14,000,000 formerly held by the Oregon and Transcontf- uent&I, and it will be voted in a lump by some representative of tho owners now en route hero from Now York. The situ ation in brief as stated to nn Orejonian reporter by a prominent railroad official yesterday," is as follews: 'lf it turns out that the" stock is held by men friendly to tho Northern Pacific, its position is as sured. In that case there will bo no necessity for haste in constructing tho Cascade branch. But if it should turn out that tho Oregon Railway and Navi gation, as a company, own n majority of tho stock, the Northern Pacific's position is not strong. The Oregon Short Line has just about the same traffic contract with thoO. R. A'N., as tho Northern Paiific has. There will be a junction of the O. R. A X. with the Short Lino at Snake river before tne end of the year. This route to the astwill bo somewhat shorter than the Northern Pacific's. In traffic over tho Northern route theO. R. te N. has the haul of lil miles, a little over one-ninth of the distance to St. Paul. Via the Short Line it has a haul of over 400 miles, more than one-fifth of tho dis tance to Omahu. Hence it seems that it would be to the O. R. A; N. Co.'s interest to secretly favor the Short Line while nominally maintaining a neutral posi tion. OregotUfiii, 10. The American ship Mount "Washington was sold yesterday by Wm. H. Starbuck and others to Simpson Bros, of San Fran cisco; terms private. She will probably be placed in the lumber trade between San Francisco and Pnget sound or Gray's harbor. Orcyonian, 10th. On the Sacramento river the salmon run is about over, and tho Sacramento River Packing Company has closed its canneries as havo two other establish ments. The entire catch for the season is closely estimated at 51.000 cases. Sacra mento fiver packed fiBh nro now quoted at Sl.17Ktftl.tJ0c, at which later figure a sale is noted ot 1,000 cases.

It is suspected by the Central Pacific Railroad company that Jay Gould is in control of tho Northern Pacific and Ore gon road3, and that he may eventually build down tho coast from hock jromi, io gain an independent road of his own to San Francisco. In Oregon it is suspected that tho Central Pacific has been en deavoring to Eecure tho Oregon branch, and that work will bo resumed "again as soon as tho Central Pacific gains control of tho same. The Central Pacific Railroad company have issued orders to tho superintendent of tho Carbonado mines, which thoyown, to make preparations so aB to bo ablo to increase the output to 1000 tons per day. Tho companv now receive from 14.000 to 19,000 tons of coal per month from these mines, but it seems that even this amount is insufficient to supplv the demand. It is safe to say that inside of two years Ta coma will ship at leat'8000 tons of coal per day the year around. x Tho snnrenie court has anlrmed the judgment of the cireuit court of Mult nomah in the caies oT Oliver Wessons and H. Schneider in tbe-liquor license cases. The point involved in the. cases was that the city council had jio right tp increase tho liquor licence and bonds after the bonds had leen i Secuted for a year. Tho courts hold that the council has tho right. The liquor, dealers wjll hold n meeting to determine on what course to pursue m the light of events. Alonzo Leland, editor of the Lewiston, Idaho, Teller, was stricken with paraly sis June 2, at his home. The entire right side was affected afidhls recovery is de spaired of. Mr. Leland ha for over thirtv years been a , prominent, figare in tho h'istorv of tho Pacific norfhwest. He was an old resident -of Portland and a candidate for congress at one time against Joseph Lane. He edited and published in Portland the Standard in 1S5C, and look an active interest in poli tics. He belonged to what was termed the anti-Bosh whig of the Democratic partv. Leland is well advanced in years and "the stroke may prove fatnf. A letter to tho Oregonitn from Mel rose, AV. T., Pays that tho Northern Pa cific surveying" party, which started re cently to locate a line over the" Cascades, are pushing ahead with vigor. Two par ties, numbering in all forty-flvo men. aro in tho field. Ono party is camped ou Green river and the other on South Prairio creek. Tho line they are run ning commences at a point on the Puyal lup branch about twenty-five miles from Tacoma, and rnns thence across the mountains by way of Stampede pass, which is down Gieon river. Tho engin eers think the best grade and. most prac ticable lino can be secured by this route. The survey will ba completes! about Sep tember next. During tho prevalonco of rough weather at the hurbor of Port Orford on the i'oth tilt., says the Marshfield Jfaif, tho schoon er Mosc paited her bow line, wont ashore and became a total wreck. She was tak ing tho first cargo of lumber from Joe Nav's mill mid had some 60,000 feet of it in iier hold at tho time. It, is probable that somo of the lumber was snveid. At low tide thenextday after the vessol went ashore it was possible to walk dry shod around her. Tho Moie was a familiar favorito in these waters, and especially at tho Coquille, across whose bar she had wallowed hor way so often that it had be come the belief that she could not be wrecked; but the southerly swell at Port Orford proved too mnch for her and phe is no more. From Eight Ye&rd Old to Eighteen. 'Hurry up quick!" Now, my boy, you want to stop dead still! They call this a fast ae, and wej are termed a fast nation, but in spto of that wo havo plenty of time. Take time to eat. Take time to dress. Take time to do whatever task you aro engaged in to your complete satisfaction. I always feel like kicking a lazy man, and if I set out oif a journey I can't go fast enough, but this impatience has lost me days of time and u good many dollars. If I want to make a shelf or bench I rush for tho first handy board, saw it off hap-haz-zard, pound in nuy sort of nails in any sort of way, and when the job is complete I ha e a shelf which won't fit by a jug fall, or a bench which rests on three legs and holds up the other one as if it had a sore foot. I have taken the wrong Htreet car, lugged off other men's hats, left my change on store counters, bought sugar when I was told to buy butter, spoiled any number of boots, offended dozens of good men, and all becauso I wanted to save timo. Don't rush. The older I grow tho less I believe in the man who leaves a cloud of dust behind him. He will be wrong half tho time. He will botch his work, upset the best calculation, and lose a dol lar for every seventy-five cents ho makes. A petulant, impatient boy mekes a man who can't keep a friend. " He will be ob stinate, unreasonable, unforgiving, and thoroughly dospised. Don't argue that it is bora in you and you can't help it. A boy can help anything if he has nny sand in his nature. He can exercise pa tience or givo way to fits of ungar which ought to be boot-jacked out of his nature to save him from the gallows. But you hate to bo bossed, eh? Well, my boy, if we could all do as we ploasea this would bo a fine country to livo in. Our workingmen would get to their labor at 10 o'clock in the morning and quit in time for 5 o'clock supper. Our stores might open in the morning or wait until afternoon. Our mills and factories would be run to suit the convenience of team sters and engineers instead of owners. Our trains and boats would leave to suit captains and conductors, and some days you would get one meal and other days three. Don't start out with the idea that vou can be independent. Don't think you can sit with folded arms and bring llicix uiuuniuiioiuuci' auu h iiuauuiD that you are doing anybody a great favor by calling upon them and hinting around that you could be coaxea to tato a situa tion. Do as your employer directs. If he doesn't know his business that's none of your affairs. Make up your mind that the" boy who sets out to earn only three dollars per week will never got four. If he is determined to be worth four he will soon bo receiving five. I sat down with a half dozen of you tho other dav. and the opinion of the maiori tv was that employors didn't mako any distinction between a smart, energetic boy and a drone. Don't be foolish, my lad. Nine employers out of ten had much rather advance a boy than discharge him. A boy may not be watched as closely as a man, because wo moke allowances for his inexperience and follies and trifling na ture, but don't forget that ho is soon sized up. If he is respectful and truth ful and lionest the employer who doesn't realize it and reward him is no man to work for. A. Quad. Boats for Sale.

A hardware man lately took tho agency for a new kind of ioo-box for preserving cold victuals. It was a pretty good thing ho thought, and it was only necessary to enlighten tho public regarding its real merits and indisputable advantages over everything else of tho kind to caus a tremendous rush of cusloniors eager to purchase; so ho counseled with himself and soliloquized thusly: "That refrigerator must be brought before tho public, and I am just thu mau to do it. Don't talk to me about your newspaper advertisements. I'll Bhow you how to advertise without cost. Yon don't ketch mo paying a newspaper for advertising; not I. I'm too old for that and I'll show folks a new idea.1 Then he laughed a satisfied laugh, arid at once set about making a practical test of his new method of diffusing information. Ho mixed up a pot of black paint. Tiro- cured several large sheets of card boerd, uiiu uuer uiuvu eperiiueuiiug. anu re peated attempts, finally succeeded in pro ducing two signs that read as follows; 'Fifty dollars to the man who can prove that any two things put into this ice chest will taste one of the other." He had a refrigerator run out to 'tho curb stone, hung n sign over each side, and retired indoors to await.the expected run of customers. People passed up and down the street, jostled each" other in their hurry, glanced at the ice-box and its signs, and went on. After some hours of disappointed hopes and expecta tions, the dealer saw a pedestrian halt, calmly pursue the wonderful -announce ment, and rather hesitatingly advance to tho door. '"Do you mean it ?" he inquired, in an anxious tone, pointing over his shoulder to tho signs. 'Yes-sir-ee," emphatically responded the dealer. "Put your money np," insinuated the stranger. ''No sir," replied tho deuler, in pomp ous style, "my word is ns good n the cash."" "All right, I'll take you," responded the stranger, as ho departed. Some time after he returned with a box under each arm. "Stick to your agreement r" he queried. 'Of course I will," answered the deal er, wondering what in tho name of Chris topher Columbus tho man had in view. Tho stranger set his boxes down on tho sidewalk, and n crowd began to collect. He told tho dealer that ho was afraid he (the dealer) would back out of the bar gain, but tho latter asserted his readiness to put up tho stamps if necessary. The stranger opened a box, lifted a cat out and placed her in the refrigerator; then he opened tho other box and took there from n wire cago containing a largo rat. "Now, mister," said ho, 'you-just shut that door in a hurry when I flop the rat inside, and I'll go you another fifty that ono will taste of the other in less'n five minutes." Tho crowd yelled, and the denier slam med tho rofrlgorator door and slid into the store, with a remark about fools nnd swindlers. Ho still refuses to recognize tho stranger's claim to the So0 but has taken his signs in. FOilEIGK SALSOX XABKET. There has boon nn improved demand throughout the week, at firm rates for salmon Grocer's Gazette. Our salmon market remains firm, but without much moving. The country demand shows a great lmprovemantdur--ing the last few days, and in consequence of this there have been a good many in quiries, and a very hopeful tono prevails amongst holders, as there are already sign3 of a coming reaction. Correspond ence London Grocer's Gazette. Of salmon another cargo (the last of the old season's shipments), consisting of 47,450 coses Columbia River, per Ice King, from Astoria, has just arrived in London, the bulk of which is unsold, and the prices spoken of as likely to bo real ized aro somewhere about 22s to 23s 6d per case for large or wholesale linos. In other respectB there is nothing new to report in these markets, and the trado passing in tinned meats has been very steady at unaltered rates for either Aus tralian or American. To-day we hear that the price of good brands of Colum bia River salmon, of tho now season's pack, bus just been cabled from San Francisco as $1. 2ic per dozen, f. o. b., which is cheap, being equal to about 20s 6d per case landed here. London Gro cer. The market for salmon is fairly active, caused partly by speculative buyers, and partly by consumptive requirements. The season has now commenced, and a steady demand for some months to come is expected. There can be little doubt that the averago pack is too large for consumption, and tho losses which have resulted to dealers by the gradually re ducing prices will have a wholesome tendency this season in preventing early sales in Ban Francisco. The lower prices do not appear to increase consumption, and therefore there iB likely to be an ex cessive quantity in store year by year, unless the pack is considerably reduced. A report from another source -is to the effect that, although the demand in the country Ls healthy, without being brisk, dealers still hold aloof from buying. Im porters, however, aro fully aware of the position of tho market, and do not evince the slightest desire to force sales. They aro apparently quito content to wait un til buyers are inclined to open negotia tions. Prices aro purely nominal, for no transactions of any weight havo taken place lately wherewith to test the market. All accounts reaching us from Columbia river point towards restricted operations, the un remunerative prices obtained the lost few seasons having at last made cannera cautious.
