What the Rothschilds are to banking

jooralxeefs of the southern sea, and in
tour own great river Barbour's twine is
the great staple material from which is
woven the seme and net. Their reputa

J early sales on the Columbia attest the

Lapham is chairman, will visit Oregon

fisheries, etc.
It is deemed important that all the in
formation upon the subject of salmon

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.

WHAT WE "OUGHT TO DO."
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.

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. Pacific

OH! MT!!
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.

chairman: OF THE committee.
The Honorable Senator From Minnesota.
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.
