Regmr&lag the Food Fliliei and Fisheries. Senator Slater has written from La Grande to E. C. Holden, secretary of the Astoria chamber of commerce, concern ing the movements of a senate commit tee that will shortly visit this place. It is expected that on or about the 20th inst., this committee, of which Senator Lapham is chairman, will visit Oregon to make an investigation of food fishes, fisheries, etc. It is deemed important that all the in formation upon the subject of salmon fighing that can be obtained, be furnish ed this committee. There is a great deal of information concerning salmon that none are better able to give than salmon packers and fishermen on the Columbia river, and Senator Slater, in his letter suggests that an organized plan be arranged to secure the attendance of Various parneu uuuu ma uiiivoi ui iiiia ' Ao'mraittee that the greatest amount of Sraotical knowledge on this subject may a' secured. The importance that Senator Slater attaches to this matter is by no means overestimated, and his suggestions are deserving of immediate carrying out by the chamber of commerce. Tae Smit Mftcfciae Working. Chicago, Aug. 10. The Times this morning prints a dispatch of two col umns, - dated at Millersburg, Ky., which charges Blaine with the seduction anoV subsequent desertion of a young lady while he was a teacher, thir ty years ago, in an institution for the education of boys at Blue Lick, gome twelve miles from Millersburg. The, young lady was an inmate of the fejaale school in Millersburg, and both the institutions were under the same management. Anonymous affidavits are printed to the effect that the young lady Was' seen, to be in a delicate condition and accusing Blaine of her ruin. The article concludes that affidavits are in the possession of the Times, and can be inspected by any one who has the right to look at them. Girl Wasted To do housework for family of five.

It is the belief of the writer that there is at the present time enough good advice on hand to run three such worlds as this little ball on whioh we cling as it shoots through space. A little more good ex ample could.be worked in, but the advice department is slightly overstocked. More especially does this seem to be the case with this neck of woods. And the most prominent feature of the matter is that it is all really "good"' advice; advice whioh, if followed, would make all of us (who are not in politics) truly good and great, and happy. We don't know hoV it is with Portland, or Seattle, or Tacoma; probably the folks in these cities are given choice and varied -assortments of advice also, but we aro inclined to think that Astoria gets, at least, her full share. However, it doesn't cost anything, and can readily be disposed of at a slight ad vance over the original outlay. Since the completion of the Northern Pacific railway the number of eastern visitors has greatly increased. So, pro portionately, has the amount of advice received from the aforesaid visitors. The eastern visitors who bestow advice may, in this instance, be divided into three classes: First, those who know all about it, whatever it is; Second, those who are not quite infallible in their opinions; Third, thoso who simply sug gest what they think we should do. About the first expression of opinion on the part of the average excursionist concerning our city is a surprise that we are even so far civilized as is apparent. "Why, I thought that you folks were perched on a crag on the ocean shore," says one. "My imnrassions of Astoria were a fort and stockade," says a second. "Do you really issue a daily paper?" asks a third. But'whatever the preface, the advice is sure to come. The conversation is rarely five minutes old before the question pops out, "Do you know what you folks ought to do?" and on assuring our friend that it never occurred to our mind what we ought to do, he says: "Well, Til tell you." And he does; and it is all so, what he tells us; every word of it: If all the good advice that has been poured out so freely during the last ninety days, were only put in actual existence, there would be a narrow gouge road from Columbia City to Astoria, and another from Astoria to Forest Grove, and a third from Astoria to Yaquina: the hills to the south of the city would all be leveled off "as Bmooth as your hand sir," and the present site of the city would be filled up with the pres ent hill tops; the Columbia front would be bulkheaded from one end to the other, and the streets would all be ten feet wider than they are; Young's river water frontage would be laid off into building lots, each lot covered by a fine dwelling house from the windows of which could be seen the evolutions of 'the Astoria Yacht Club; street cars would run from Smith's Point to Tongue Point, and from the Columbia to Young's riverj the Co lumbia river bar would be a thing of the past the beach would bo covered with seaside cottages; the road from here to Clatsop would be brilliunt with equip ages and busy with constant traffic; there would be a fine race course over there and a stud of racers; and in short, if the advice were followed Astoria and vicin ity would be at once what it will be in the years to come. The only thing that our advisers omit to tell us is where to get the money to do all this with. A VALUABLE LIBRARY. A good cyclopaedia is a library within itself. As everyone who aspires to intelligence must have an unabridged dictionary for ready reference in regard to words, so he must have a cyclopaedia from which to gain information in regard to subjects. No family can afford to do without a cy clopaedia. Parents engaged in the press ing cares of life need it. Children growing up and attending school need it. Young men and women who have left school need it. Teachers engaged in teaching need it. Mechanics, laborers and clerks need it. Lawyers, physicians and ministers of the gospel need it. A good cyclopaedia is brimf ull of in formation on all conceivable subjects, and standing on your shelves, it is for ever daring you to propound questions for it to answer. Put Johnsons cyclo paedia in your library, and interest the children in its perusal, and ten years will show a wonderful growth in their intel ligence. Some things won't wait. Children grow rapidly. They must have the facil ities for becoming educated now, or the season for it passes. You may think you cannot afford a cy clopaedia. I ask you can you afford to do without it ? Get the best. Johnson's is pronounced the best by all our leading educators. Mr. C. H. Libby, the general manager for the Pacific coast, is still at the Occident hotel. Drop him a card and ask to see it. It is rich in intellectual stores. The Nashville Students, gave another concert last night, before a large audi ence. The programme was a long one, consisting of jubilee and plantationmel odies, as sung by the "children of bond age" in religious and social meetings, and on the plantation. In the third part the members of the company ap peared in plantation costume, and gave their weird and lively melodies in a man ner that drew forth loud applause. Most of them possess sweet voices, which, how ever, they do not claim aro highly culti vated. The choruses were the most enjoyable part of the performance, being delivered with power, and in perfect harmony.. Y. Sun. Last Saturday a fire on the south fork of the Nasel destroyed Lu Graham's logging camp and a new school house. The fire was started in a hollow tree for the purpose of driving out a swarm of bees which had settled there, and got such a start that it was imposssi ble to check its fury until damage to the amount of nearly $1,000 had been done. Fortunately for Graham ho had recently moved further up the stream, and only some hay remained at this camp. The school-was in progress, under the charge of Miss Bailey, of Bay Center.

The following precious morsel is culled from the columns of last Sunday's Ore genian: Steamer Delayed. Special The Portland steamer got in at 3 :30 P. M. yesterday, thirty-five hours be hind the schedule time. The delay was oc casioned by thick weather on Columbia bar. It is in no carping spirit that The Asto- bian so often calls the Oregonian to task for misstatements. Rather in recogni tion of that journal's influence. Other papers and their mistakes regarding Astoria are usually allowed to pass unnoticed, but the Oregonian, like TnE Astoman, is read end attention is paid to what it says. Hence it is only a duty that our metropolitan contemporary owes itself and the public to be correct in stating alleged facts. It can exercise wide latitude in its opinions. The steamer Oregon left Portland at midnight ontho 4th and should have left Astoria at noon on the 5th. The official record of the bar its re ported by the United States signal ser vice officer that day says: Aug. fth, noon. Bar smooth; Clear; Wind west; 11 miles." Does this look like "thick weather"? The Oregon got to Astoria the follow ing morning, and crossed to sea at 1255 p. M. that day. The official record that day at noon reads: "Auo. C Bar smooth; Clear; Wind west; 5 miles. That is to say, according to this prec ious dispatch, the Oregon was detained "by thick weather on Columbia bar," when at the hour she was actually cross ing out over the bar, the official report says it was smooth, the sky was clear, and a gentle breeze of five miles an hour was blowing. On the 7th (the day after the Oregon crossed out) came the official report, "Bar smoeth: Clear; Wind 7 miles, Now, who tells the truth: the operator or me isregonianr kjl course, cuanty tu; gests that criticism be not too severe; in the making up of a largo paper such as the Sundav issue of the Oregonian, it is not possible to verifv everv statoment and it may be that our friends overlook ed it. Let them be given the benefit of the doubt. But it looks fishy. The Ore gonian know?, as a matter of fact, that the Oregon had a d ickens of a time on her last trip dora near Kalama, and that she ran in the mud, and her steerage ap paratus wouldn't work, and the "pin dropped out, and all the rest of it, Doesn't the Oregonian know this, or has it forgotten it. The Astoriak said noth ing about it at the time, but if reasons have to be furnished why the ocean steamers are behind time, let the blame He where it belongs, and don't try to shove it on to the Columbia bar. We won't have it. San Francisco Lumber Market. The San Francisco lumber market is comparatively quiet and slightly over stocked not more so however, than it has been at many other times. The trade is always quiet at this time of the year, owing to the fact that the farmers are harvesting, and are not building fences or making other improvements in which lumber might be required. The lumber dealers do not consider the present qui escence of any moment, although they say that the backwardness of the har vests, owing to the lateness of the sea son, will set the market a month later than usual, but they expect to see the fall trade, when it commences, as brisk as ever. The importance of the lumber interests of the Pacifio coast is not fully appreciated, nor is the fact generally rec ognized that the lumber yards of San Francisco, with their giant piles of fra grant boards, representing thousands of acres of land and millions of capital, which give lucrative employment to many thousands of workingmen all the way from Santa Cruz on the south to Alaska on the north, and represent an almost unbroken chain of forests, begin ning in Santa Cruz county, traversing this states, Oregon and Washington ter ritory, and finally terminating in the al most untouched wilderness of timber in Alaska. The magnitude of this interest in San Francisco may be justly ranked with the grain trade, and like it it has the whole world for a market. It is a trade in which there is no speculation, no stock jobbing, no delving into dark holes for hidden treasure; its product is sure, its profits certain, and the only drawback that presents itself is the fact that the local demand does not keep up with the capacity of the mills and freight tariffs are at present rather high and conse quently militate against eastern ship ments. . The present overland tariff is $200 a car, or about $20 per $1000 feet. oi jumDer, wmcu places me products or our forests when delivered in the east at a disadvantage. Chronicle. On reading in a newspaper that a piece of fresh beef bound on the face every night would make the complexion fair, a San Francisco drummer tried the experi ment. He put a quarter of beef on each cheek and went to bed and the next morn ing found that the brass in his oheek had formed verdigris on the beef and poisoned two yellow cats and a bob-tailed poodle that had been nibbling the beef.

On the afternoon boat yesterday came a tall, portly-looking, middle-aged gen tleman, who registered at the Occident as "S. J. R. McMillan, St. Paul." He rep resents the commonwealth of Minnesota in the senate of the United States, is chairman of the committeo on appropri ations and a leading man in the councils of the nation. To an Astobiax reporter who introduced himself to tho senator, he mentioned his gratification in seeing such a large and ovidontly prosperous commu nity. "As chairman of the committee on appropriations at the last session of congress,-' said Senator McMillan, "I may say that you are to be congratulated on your success in securing an appropriation initiating tho great work of improving the mouth of the Columbia river. It was a matter of considerable effort and you can tnauK lao senate ior it. xno uouso didn't do anything for you, and it was on'y by the determined effort of the friends of the measure that an appropri ation was made. Senator Dolph, of your state, deserves especial credit. He worked early and late, and to him, as much as to any other one man, is due tho credit of securing me appropriation. "As chairman of the committee I was of aid to you. I talked and voted for the measure as a matter of principle. I knew what you folks out here needed and was determined that what I could do fur the appropriation should be done." Senator McMillan spoke at some length upon the manifest destiny of Astoria, of her natural advantages, and prophesied a brilliant future for our city. The citizens of Astoria owe tht Senator a vote of thanks for his efforts in our be half. He was able to talk understand ingly in the committee room and on the uoor or the senate. Together with the lamented O, P. Morton, the great "war governor" of Indiana, Senator McMillan paid Astoria a visit in the summer of 187G and the observations he then made con vinced him of our need for appropriation to remove existing obstacles to the com merce of the Northwest. The Senator is accompanied by his family and starts on his homeward trip to-day. Mr. Wm. Walker of Walker, Lem on & Co., Melbourne, Anstralia, states that he suffered with a severe attack of facial neuralgia, and for two days had no rest; ho tried St. Jacob's Oil, the great pain -cure, and by two ap plications was entirely cured.
