The Portland papers say that the only original "Wizard oil singers appear there every night this week. If that bo so who are the folks in the wagon? The Washington Packing Company re port that TnE Astobian,s estimate of its pack was too high by 500 cases; and that their pack for the season was 18,000 cases. A handsome tower clock has been plpced in front of Carl Adler's store by that enterprising merchant. It cost $800 and is a marvel of ingenious me chanism. The usual Monday array of drunks and opium fiends showed up yesterday at the police court, some in person and some represented by the coin they forfeited by their non-appearance. A. P. Ankeny has found some white larch in some of his timber tracts in this county supposed to bo the first speci mens of white larch ever found on the banks of tho lower Columbia. A crematory is to be established in San Francisco. Unless the Clatsop road is built to enable funerals to go to Clatsop cemetery in other style than by water, a crematory will become one of the economi cal necessities of life in Astoria. Bob Ingersoll will spout for coin at Oc cidental hall on the ICth. "When Hank Beecher was here,tho house was full, and when the redoubtable Robert appears it will be fuller. Next season they will travel together and pool their winnings. No One's new hose cart arrived on tho State yesterday, and was a source of grat ification to the boys who pay for it themselves and who are very much pleased with their new purchase. It cost $350 and is a strong and serviceable look ing piece of work. A short time ago the captain and tho crew of the Shubrick came out in fine new uniforms, and now it appears that good, dear old Uncle Sam is going to uni form the light house keepers also. The material will be dark blue cloth, and the buttons will be of brightest brass. Twenty-two Swedish fishermen who worked at tho mouth of the Columbia during tho past season, bought through tickets to Norway via the Northern Pa cific last week. The faro is 91.50. All of them seemed to have saved a good "stake," and said they would return here next year. Oregonian, 3rd. The City of Sydney which sailed from San Francisco for Australia on tho 1st, carried 14,031 cases of salmon. The Mariposa sailed the same day with 408 cases and 109 barrels salmon for Hon olulu, the Columbia also sailed that day for Central America with 47 cases, and the W. li. Grace cleared for Liverpool with 3,041 cases aboard. "There isn't a mosquito in tho place" was the highest praise a young lady could think of in writing from hero to her folks in Portland a few days ago. Astoria is singularly freo from insects of all kinds, and it is said there is not a single species of poisonous reptile or insect in Clatsop county, all same that other favored country far far across the deep blue sea. At tho regular monthly meeting of Res cue No. 2's last night the sum of $200 was appropriated for tho expenses of the company's team at the Albany tourna ment. Following is tho team: F. L.

"Worsley. C. W. Fulton and B. S. "SVorsley were elected as delegates. The friends of Fred "W. Congdon were shocked last Sunday to hear of his death He went to Portland from here some time ago, and went from there to the Klickitat valley, dying near The Dalles last Friday of rheumatism of the heart. Fred was a '49er, and was known from Mazatlan to Alaska. For the last three years and a half ho was a river pilot between hero and Portland. He was about 52 years old, was a member or Hassalo lodge, No. 15, L O. O. F., and was given burial et Portland yesterday. A strange sight was witnessed off Cape Flattery last Friday. Tho water, as far as coma ne seen, was thick with a nlenti f ul show of herring, in the midst of which spouting and diving, was a school of large -wuuies, quite zoriy in numDer, ranging from twenty to 100 feet lone. diving down with a parting whisk of the tail, and coming up again with wide-open mouths, would capture immense quanti ties of the finny tribe, the blood of the herrings pinched m the process distinctly tinging the waters of the ocean. At the regular monthly meeting of As toria Engine Co. No. One last evening it was decided to give a grand anniversay ball on the evening of the 80th inst., in commemoration of the 13th anniversary of the organization of the company. The gum of one hundred dollars was appro priated to pay the expenses of the team at the coming Albany tournment. C. J. flnrtisnnd L..E. Solig were chosen as delegates to the tournment.

The man who said the longer ho lived the more, etc., ho found out, must have, at some psriod of his career, been engaged in the businessof packing salm on on the Columbia river. Tho season just closed has in almost every instance increased the individual stock of useful information. Probably at no time for tb.6 last eight years has the same state of affairs exist ed as at present. About half tho pack is seld: a iittlo over 300,000 cases remain unsold. The market either in this coun try or across the sea is not overstecked: buyers appear to exercise more than or dinary disinclination. Different estimates made yesterday place the number of cases packed at from C00,000 to 630,000. Assuming that there were 010,030 case3 packed would give us as the yield of the salmon, 2,000,000 fish, which netted to the fishermen, whether they caught with outside boats ut 70 cents or with cannery boats at GO cents, 40 cents apiece or 800,000 paid for the fiish, two-thirds of which amount was distributed in this city. There were probably 1,400 boats on the river and how poorly the fishermen averaged may easily be figured. Of these 2,000,000 fish, 20 per cent may be credited to the traps and seines, leaving 1,000,000 fish to di vide among 1,409 boats or an average of 1,113 to the boat. At forty cents apiece this would make tho average pay of each crew for the season, $457. This divided between two men for four month's ardu ous work would give them about $50 a month each for their days and nights of toil. Of course some made more than this, but that would but show that others mado less. Tho figures demonstrate ouo fact that there are too many boats on the river. Wero there fewer boats tho fishermen would make better wages, tho cannery men would bo under less expense. The manner of business is not as pro ductivo of good to Astoria as another system might be which would bo more with n view to aiding our municipal growth and our municipal prosperity. The same rules of business apply to all branches of general business. Any man that has to pay ten per cent interest on his capital, five per cent commission to his agent, threo per cent insurance and sundry other little percentages which will readily suggest themselves to those who "have been there," can very clearly see that whatever profit is in tho business does him or the town whero he lives very little good. Tho shrewd old man that founded Astoria took as tho busi ness principle of his life that "six per cent interest will in tho long run beat any game." He made his millions by putting his precept into practice. The difference between six per cent, and twenty-five per cent, indicates the length of the run. What The Astobiak aims at is tho permanent good of this communi ty, and just as long as the salmon pack ers of the Columbia rivor allow others to skim tho cream, just so long they will find themselves in tho same financial fix they aro at present. JUST A FEW PLAIN FIGURES. The city assessment roll foots up $2,199,9SG; 172,093 is allowed for indebt edness, leaving a balance of $1,727,891, on which is levied an assecsment of 12 mills for tho expenses of running the city government. On the tax list aro CC1 names; a 12-mill tax on 1,727,891 aggre gates 20,731, which would mako each of the GG1 whoso names appear, pay about .$31 apiece for their share of expenses in tho Astoria city government of 1884. On tho 1st of January, 1833, there was over .$12,000 in the city treasury; on the 1st of July, 163 1, there was 3,247.75. Some of the figures for 1833 aro both in teresting and instructive. Tho receipts for the year wero 37,217.72. Of this amount 9,800 was received from liquor licenses, 2,194.71 was had from other licenses; 4,51G was received from tho po lice court, 7,GG2.G9 from street assess ments, and the remainder from miscel laneous sources. Of the tax for that year, 10,351.08 (not quite half the tax for tho present year) was collected, During tho year there was 21,030 spent for street improvements. Tho present expense of running the city government, exclusive of supplies, is about as follews: Seven policemen, 550; city officials, 165; fire department, $285, or a total of $1,300 per month; little bills that drop in from time to time will aver age between 300 and 100 a month more. On tho first of last month tho city's finances showed tho following amounts in tho treasury: Cemetery fund, 881; Water street fund, 5; Main street fund, 225.45: Genevieve street fund, 016; G. and P. fund, 1,520.30. Drowned At Upper Astoria. Last Sunday morning Jas. A. Bell, Jr., with his brother Thomas brought their horses to the river beach near their home at upper Astoria. In some way one of the horses reored, throwing his rider in to tho water. His brother Thos. went to his assistance as did Mr. Thomes, but unfortunately, it was found impossible to save him. Tho body was recovered in a short time and will bo buried nt Clat sop cemetery to-day. Deceased, had he lived to next February would have been twenty-one years of ago. Tho funeral services will take place at ten o'clock this morning at the Swedish church, at upper Astoria. A steamboat will be at Badollet & Co.'s cannery to carry the friends and acquaintances of the de ceased to tho cemetery. Friends of tho family are invited to attend.

Although the new steam ferry boat Kalama was completed according to con tract, says the Commercial, her trial trip was not altogether satisfactory. In her present condition her boilers cannot gen erate steam rapidly enough to propel her when loaded. The Northern Pacific peo ple are therefore putting in an apparatus for heating tho water to a higher tem perature before it enters the boilers. Electric lights are also being put in. The boat is still lying at Smith Bros. & Wat son's wharf, and will be ready in about a montn, by the time tho approaches at Kalama are finished. Tho cost of this boat will be over 400,000, more than the cose oi tne steamer Oregon, and nearly enough to purchase another Queen of the Pacific. It is reported certain contrac tors havecleared 100,000 in building her. A Fact. Messrs.

Klamath county farmers are guarding their grain fields with shot guns against black-birds. From Viotoric to European ports thero havo been exported the last half year 136.650 cases of salmon. The proposition to bond the city of Montesano for tho purpose of building a railway to the river was carried recently by a majority of fifty-three votes. Nearly all the logging camps on tho Willapah have closed down for the sea son on account of no demand existing for logs at tho mill. A few of tho camps, in cluding a number of hand camp3, will continue operations. Pacific Journal. The following order was found on the grave digger's slate last Tuesday morning says the Spokane Falls Chrenicle: "Wanted, nineteen ready made graves for Chinamen when work is commenced by them on the water works. Get them ready. Necktie Committee. The Seattle Hop Growers" association expects to employ between 400 and 590 Indiana in the big yard at Snoqualmie Prairie during the hop picking season. Fearing a scarcity of picker on this side they have written ovr to lakinia for a lot of Indiaas from the eastern side of the mountains. The business men of Seattle have pe titioned the P. C. S. S. Co. to employ Seattle stevedores at Seattle. It Ls al leged that tho officers of the steamer Mexico, at least, aro in the habit oi tak ing stevedores on board at Victoria, tak ing them the round of tho Sound ports and paying them off at the last named city. Tnere has been a heavy corps of tramps and bilks, says a Douglas county exchange, ever since the railroad struck tho valley, and tho people should look out for tiiem. We hear of many peoplo being swindled by fellows who seem to make it a business to stop in a placa long enough to owe everybody who will trust them. J. N. Baker, of Hoquiam, has begun work on a small steamer. Ho will build tho hull at his mill and run it down to tho harbor whero the machinery will bo gut in. She is to bo built for tho upper hehalis river trade, and will bo 75 feet in length and 19-foot breadth of beam, and will be built on theshovel-uoso canoe model as near as possible A Lafayette correspondent of the lie- porter say: Perhaps there never was a time in the history of Urogon when mon ey was so scarce as now. But harvest is hero now; threshing will soon commence, and then wheat ought to go into market as soon as possible to relievo the strin gency and help those who havo not only emptied their pockets but stretched their credit to its utmost extent. A large real estate transfer was recorded in tho auditor's office this week, says tho Pacific Journal. A. M. Simpson and wife transfer the propo rty known as tho Enappton Mill Co. to the Northwestern Lumbering Co., of San Francisco, for the consideration of 33,000. Whether this is simply a consolidation of the various mills of which Simpson Ls owner or not, it is not known, but is thought such is the case. A resident of Lewiston informs the Walla Walla Union that the people of that place and surrounding country havo applied to the governor of Idaho for enough arms and eqipments for four companies of militia, which will be or ganized at once, and prepared for the re turn of Joseph and his band of cutthroats or any possible ontbreak by the whites on no by the Indians on tho whites sur rounding tho Nez Perce reservation. Four Nookta sound Indians were poi soned from eating raw clams at Port Discovery last week. Their tongues be came frightfully swollen nnd protruded from their months, while the lower jaws dropped nnd their bodies were affected with violent tensions of the nerves. They narrowly escaped death. The rem edy used by them was the bark of cedar, from the tender shoots near the leaves, which was chewed and tho juico swallow ed. During the summor months clams are said to be.very unhealthful as it is their breeding season. The A. B. B. Excursion. The Astoria Brass Band were fortuna tely favored with n fine day last Sunday, for their excursion to Young's river falls on tho steamer Clara Parker, and it was found necessary to provide a scow to accommodate all who applied for passage. The trip by water from As toria to Young's river falls is one to bo enjoyed as often as opportunity offers, a fact which is evidently appreciated as an excursion to that point always takes a crowd. It is generally conceded that the falls are more beautiful at this sea son than in the spring when a large quantity of water is flowing. When the spring flood is pouring over the water falls in a solid stream; but now the wa ter falls a few feet and strikes on a pro jecting ledge and is dashed into a spray that bangs like a beautiful pearly veil around the moss covered rocks below, while in the mists that float away over the pond, the glancing sunbeams that pierce the foliage of the surrounding firs, paint momentary fragments of the rainbow. The cold moist air and this green and shady spot is in pleasant con trast to the hot, dusty, tiresome street. Here improvised tables wero set and ice cream and other harmless refreshments were supplied to all who wished, and the echoes of tho hills were awakened with strains of music as they had never been awakened before. On their return the band floated down the river for some dis tance on a commodious barge, tho while playing music which modulated by the breezes and tho windings of tho river, produced an effect which was decided to be beautiful beyond description by those who listened in the distance. The trip was an eniovable ona and. financially considered, a suocess,thoy hav ing realized about fifty dollars above ex penses. About seventy-five dollars yet remain to bo paid on their uniforms. and should they decide to give another excursion it will doubtless be well at tended. The band become public bene factors by reason of furnishing an oppor tunity for enjoyment, and as usual the obliging master of the Clara Parker con trived for the comfort of all.

People pay for newspapers and read them for information in regard to cur rent ovonts. While this is true as a gen eral proposition, it does not follow that a newspaper should publish every scandalous occurrence which comes to its knowledge. Newspapers have be come tho daily educators of the family They havo become a part of the mental pabulum of tho household. If they were only read in the office, the store or saloon, it would not make as much differ onco what they contain. But they are read by tho young of both sexes. By be ing subscribed for and left in their reach by the parents, the newspaper is looked upon with a feeling of respect and rever ence which otherwise it would not pro duce. Under these circumstances, while the press should be perfectly uutrammeled m reference to the record of all events of the dnv necessarv for oeneral informa tion of tho people, their columns should not contain records of mere personal scanuai or lapses irom virtue. They should not contain the disgusting details of certain cases in court. Familiarity with the record of certain kinds of vices has a tendency to blunt the nice sensi bilities of the young. We know there is a morbid craving among certain classes of society for spicy details of scandal. But this appetite is morbid and should not be catered to by tho press. The nowspaper should never become a scav enger. Private filth should never bo paraded before tho public eye or thrust under the public nostrils. 2Sfo record of privato escapades should ever be mado by the press unless there is some public good to be subserved. We all dotest nnd despise n private person who delights in peddling scandal. Why is it any more respectable in a nowspaper than in a privato individual? Altogether too much space is given by the pre&s to the record of daily crime, and altogether too Iittlo to the record of generous actions and noble deed of which tho world is full. By all means let us keep the good sido of human na ture before tho public, and as far as possible let us keep out of sight tho mistakes and crimes of poor erring hn manitv. Unpervertol Essence.
