There was rather a light vote polled at the election yesterday. In tho Fi.st ward Ike Bergman is elected by tho following vote.

Gratke is elected by the following vete: Gratko 131 Welch 133 Gratke's majority 1 The most interest was manifested in tho Second ward whero considerable hard work was done on both sides. There wasn't much choice between the two candidates in that ward, but considera ble opposition was developed against tho Republican nominee by members of his own party. Ike Bergman's nomination was a con sequence of Mr. Crosby's nomination, but being in the field he staid there after that gentleman hnd been replaced by Fred Sherman. Party lines were not strictly drawn, the fight, on the whole, was a good-n.iturod one, and Mr. Berg man has now an excellent opportunity to make a rrcoul for himself in the munici pal history of the city. fhit Terrible Telegram.

The trade generally will be pleased to hear that the new season's salmon, by the four vessels whose arrival in Mersey was notified in our report of last week, has turned out to be finer in quality than any parcels received from Astoria for some years past, and should future im ports be of the same character there can be no doubt that the salmon market will resume its wonted buoyancy, and the public will be found to show aguiu its partiality for this valuable auxiliary to the family board. The lowest sanipfe is fully equal oven to the best of last year's; in some cases tho quality is simply su perb, and in both flavor and appearance leaves nothing to be desired. The bulk of tho import was sold for arrival or ex quay, and there are very few parcels re maining on the quay unsold, the remain der having been warehoused for tho turn of the year, when grocera' windows will have been cleared of the seasonable stocks of dried fruits. Liverpool Corres pondence London Grocer . Wc have but little to add to our last week's report, as no transactions of great importance have been carried through. The situation is a littlo firmer, as consignees have decided to store their arrivals and await a better market.

Astebias: Having spent tho la3t month in Wash ington territory, and after careful obser vation, I have como to tho conclusion that Astoria needs a daily line of steam ers running from Astoria lo Vancouver, putting in to Lake, Lewia, and the Cow litz rivers. These timbers should be built of oak timber bent and all tho rest of Oregon cedar, to make them lighter r.ud draw less water and thoy would last three times as long as tho pitscnt river steamers. They should also have a cen ter board to let down while in the main river, and they should bo keeled under their decks suincient lo get a licenso tu run to Cape Disappointment bv wav of Baker's bay. For many yeara there has been seven small steam boats running daily from Portland to Clarke and CWlitz counties in Washington territory two to the Cowlitz river, two to Lake and Lswis river, two to Vancouver and one tu Washougal. and these steamers carry a large part of tho produce consumed' by the people of Astoriu, to Portland to be reshipped to Astoria adding freights and commissions, also consuming much time rendering many articles of goods con sumed by tho people of Astoria, stale be fore they get them to their kitchen ta bles. Portland with its lines of Ptearaboats is nt tho present time deriving an income through their channels of trade and transportation of at least 100 a day that the citizens of Astoria wouid get if there was a daily nno or ngut draft Htcamen, running from Vancouver to Astoria bv way of Lake Lewis and tho Cowlitz river. It would reduce the price of living in As toria ton per cent, at least. The freights from those localities with cartage ami commissions included amount at tin present timo to five or six dollars per ton. aud if there wero a daily hue of steamers running from Vancouver to Astoria, these same freights would bo about two dollars per ton. Another very important consideration to our nierchunrs m Antoria would be they would alw sell a large amount of goods to the people that now buy wholly in Portland, aud they would gradual!, absorb Portland's best and most impor tant trado and transportation, l'he north bank of tho Columbia river is the best bit of country in tho whole United States, for fruit, vegetables and dairying purposes. Also it is tqaally as good for grain as the Willamette valley aud at no very distant day will develop into horticu.turo and other genteel and sub urban pursuits aai papulation commei -surato with the wants of t.ie fast growing cities on the Columbia river. Astomam. Vancouver. Dec. Sth, 1831. COLUMBIA KIYElt SIL1I3S IK THE EAST. New York Fish Journal. In early times before salmon in the east becamo a luxury, apprentices and workingmeu stipulated that they should not havo salmon served to them more than ao many times a week. With salm on held in such little esteem and pro curable at a very low price, it is "ery amusing for a person in the latter part of tho nineteenth century to look back ou each anecdotes and smile at what to him seems an almost fabulous yarn. As mills and manufuctorias increased in numbers and cities sprung np along the river banks, salmon became less and less plentiful, and where thousands of fish could ouco be obtained in almost every stream and river from New York east, very few are now caught this side of the Pro'vinces, and in many streams have entirely disappeared. Nijany all tb salmon now coining to the eastern mar kets corns irom tue i'roviuces, and uutn this past season, this section of the country has supplied all the salmon for eastern use. As prices have risen iu the east aud tho amount of fi;u have de creased, it is natural that oiuer sources of supply outside of the restocking of eastern rivers by oar fi-ja coaijiiSJioacra should be looked to, to supply tue ever 111 oreasing demand for tuis kiag.y fish Where is this supply to come from? How is it to be obteiued? The answer is to the first questiou, "The great north western section of North America." Tnt unswer lo tho second question is, "Oar transcontinental railroads." During the past season considerable quantities of salmon have been sent cus. iu refrigerator cara and it has been prac tically demonstrated that they can lit landed in eastern markets in the best ot condition. Here then iu the Columbia nvsr wo have found a compstitor for the eastern market ra its salmon supplies. Salmon p 10'cing has not been a vtry profitable business the post few yeans, and should a market hi found in the eastern centers of trade, for tho yearly catch of fresh salmon, many firms win interest themselves in this new basines: as being the most profitable in the end. Somo firms already make a business of supplying fresh salmon ou orders from th east, and havo done well. OtLer firms have lo3t considerable in the new enterprise and have paid dearly for their experience. With experience gained however, they may seo their way clear this comiug season to recover the money they dropped this year. As tue canned salmon pick has increased, new countries have been looked to for mar keting it, and Australia ha3 become a very good customer. Englaud is the dis tributing point however for the Europe an market, but consumes the bulk of her recsipts. Fresh salmon aro at present hard to get to the eastern markets at tho right time and to meet the right market for remunerative prices. Transportation, packages aud ica are very expansive aud until the freight aud oxprass charges are materi illy reduced, shipping to tho east in lag) qu u'itej, except in tho few weeks when salmon aro moitly used, will bo a purely speculative venture. Reduce tho co3t of p icka20J and ice in the north west, reduco the freicht to canned salmon rates, and twenty times the amount now used in the U. S. could bo safelv and profitably marketed tho from the Colum bia river alone. Fishermen tlitiitioii! Before lmving twine examine the Dunbar, MeMaster & Co.'s extra strong Irish Flax Thread.
