A large whale came in from the sea
yesterday, and after cruising around
awhile brought up near tho spit below
Sand island where his antics attracted
universal attention. After having an
hour's circus all to himself, the great
ocean mammal shot out toward the west,
and with a sort of farewell Father Wat
kins wavo of his tail, swung out to
tho shoreless depths of the hearing Pa
cific. Some curious addresses are to be found
on letters occasionally received in this
burg from 4,furrin parts." The follow
ing are taken at random from a few re
ceived by Capt. A. W. Berry in the last
two weeks: "Astoria, near Portland,
North America;" "Astoria, Oregon,
British America;" "Astoria, Columbia
river, Oregon, Central America;" "Asto
ria, North America." The writers are
evidently certain that Astoria is in
"America."
From the Oregonian it is learned that
the rules respecting peoplo being allowed
in tho pilot houses, have been repealed.
Supervising inspecting officers are au
thorized to grant captains permits allow
ing a limited number of persons in the
pilot house between sunrise and sunset,
except on excursion parties. The change
is not viewed with favor by steamboat
men generally, as the partial restriction
complicates matters. Captains would
prefer to have all persons forbidden ac
cess to the pilot house, or else have all
restrictions regarding tho matter re
moved. The will of the late Mr. Barrell ap
points Hon. D. P. Thompson executor
without bonds. Tho estate is valued at
about 1,000,000 and runs thirteen years
before it becomes duo. The will provides
an annuity to all tho heirs, and when the
youngest, now eight years of age, be
comes of age, the cstato is to be divided.
Mr. Burrell always had great confidence
in Mr. Thompson, as his imposing this
trust in him demonstrates. There is not
a similar instance on record, says the
Standard, where so great an estate was
placed in a person's hands without
bonds.
Several marriageable young men of
Rochester, New York, are in a terrible
pickle. They have heretofore given as a
reason for not marrying that they could
not afford the luxury. About a 'month
ago several marriageable young ladies
Sut their heads together and prepared a
ocument proving conclusively that fam
ilies of from two to six (they provided
for the futurejyou see) can live well on
$9 a week. Having disposed of rents,
fuel and provisions, these artless girls
turned their attention to clothing, and
the document aforesaid states that the
woman who cannot dress stylishly and
save money on S0 a year is not worth
the marrying. Then these girls made
copies of the original and sent one to
each of the eligible young men.
The Chicago Lumberman says: In our
numerous Michigan exchanges wo see
frequent allusions to men in that state
who have gone, or are about to go, to
Washincton Territory on prospecting
tours. The larger number of these indi
viduals have been, or are now, interested
in the lumber business in Michigan.
They are now seeking tho Pacific coast
in search of now fields of operation, at
tracted by tho accounts they seo in this
jonrnal and elsewhere of the magnificent
fir jnd cedar growths of the Paget sound
region, or tho valleys of tho Chehalis and
the Columbia. Men who have spent tho
best portion of their lives in pine log
ging and lumber manufacture in Mich
igan, and have grown more or less
wealthy in their operations, are now
looking for new opportunities for their
sons. Within a year wo have observed a
considerable increase in the number of
Michigan men who have prospected in
Washington Territory, a number of
whom have become interested in mill
plants. The movement toward the Pa
cific coast is bound to increase.
Tho history of tho northwest is one of
steady development, and this is as true
of journalistic enterprises as it is of any
other form of industry. Ten years ago
its present publisher founded The West
Shore, and its progress upward from the
extremely modest sheet first issued, with
its small circlo of friends, to the largo il
lustrated magazine of to-day, with its
thousands of readers throughout the
whole northwest has been continuous and
gratifying. Ita field of usefulness is con
stantly widening, and in order to more
fully cover it and fulfill its mission, it
has determined upon making a decided
advance step. Hereafter Tlic West Shore
will be published simultaneously from
Tacoma and Port land. The Puget sound
country is a magnificent region, develop
ing with wonderful rapidity, and must
necessarily create a metropolitan city of
its own. For this reason tho publisher
considers The West Shore us more ac
ceptibly representing the northwest and
doing greater justice to its patrons when
issued from both Portland and Tacoma,
the Puget sound terminus of the great
Northern Pacific railroad. Representa
tives of the magazine may be found in
both cities, and communications by mail
may bo sent to cither office.
MR. HOBSO.VS CITIZENSHIP.
The following communication was re
ceived at this office yesterday evening:
Astoria, May G, 1885.
J. F. Halleeax:
I see by the evening Herald and I also
learned by dispatch that certain persons
telegraphed from this place that I was
not an American citizen. Now, for the
benefit of my friends doubting the fact
I will say what I can prove, that I got
my full citizenship papers in Albany,
Oregon, in 1853, before Judge G. H.
Williams, Col. J. K. Kelly acting as my
attorney, Wm. Hobson and Thos. Eyres
witnesses upon those papers. With oth
er necessary papers I received a donation
of G33 acres of land under the donation
land law of Oregon.
I think if the parties who wero so anx
ious to inform tho department in Wash
ington that I was not eligible to office,
had been actuated more by patriotism
than disappointment that some other
person had not obtained the office, he or
they upon inquiry at tho proper place
could have known the facts.

Meeting of Commissioners.
The Oregon state board of immigration
commissioners ni6t in monthly session at
the office, Ash and Front streets, yester
day afternoon and evening. A large
number of bills wero read and ordered
paid. Ten thousand copies of the pam
phlet, "Oregon as it is," and twenty thou
sand copies of tho circular of tho same
title were ordered printed, the latter for
distribution at Chicago, St. Paul and
Omaha. It was decided to request the
public press of Oregon to publish tho
stereotyped advertisement ot tho board
free of charge. A resolution was passed
declaring tho sending of county immi
gration agents to this city an unneces
sary expense and ill-advisable, and liable
to create discord among tho counties,
whereas the appointment of resident
agents at or near the county seat of each
county, to confer with the secretary of
the board on immigration matters, would

WAST TO KS01T.
People talk of tho persistence of a
newspaper man and how he will hang to
you to get "an item," and ask you all
sorts of questions about your business
and altogether show an unwarrantable
impertinence in sticking his nose into
other people's business. It must be con
fessed that such is often the case, but it
must be remembered that the reporter as
far as he is personally concerned doesn't
care a continental whether a man is
worth 70,000 or ten cents; doesn't care
whether this man's wife skipped to San
Francisco, or that man paid his note, or
the other man is going to be sued; purely
as a matter of business it is his business
to find out those things; li that's what he
is there for," and however disagreeable
it may be to him ho has to tly around
and interview and get "the bottom facts"
and see that tbey are put in a shape that
cannot bo contradicted.
If he doesn't do it some other chap
will, and then the fellow that neglects
his business will read it in some other
paper and realize that he has been
"scooped."
These reflections are suggested by the
receipt of a letter from R. G. Dun & Co.
Any newspaper man could evidently get
points from R. G. Dun fc Co., and if
there is any newspaper reporter in the
county fha't has half tho "gall" that our
enterprising correspondents exhibit, the
same is personally unknown to the ahy
youth who takes his pen in hand to write
these few lines hoping you are well.
Our friends It. G. Dun &. Co., want
to know and send a page of questions.
Here are a few samples of tho aforesaid
questiens: "What is your full name?"
"How old are you?" "Aie yon mar
ried?" "What is your business?" "If
in partnership state date of formation."
"On what terms?" "Howmuch did each
contribute at starting?" "Was any of it
borrowed?" ."How" much?" "Where
did tou live before coming here?"
"What did yon do?" "Did you ever fail
in business?" "When, where and in
what firm?" "What stock have yoa on
band?" "How much notes and ac
counts?" "What real estate do you
own?" What other means havo you?"
"What do you owe for merchandise?"'
etc. etc. They omitted to ask what wo
had for breakfast and what is the namo
of our oldest boy, but appear to have got
in pretty near everything else. They are
perfectly polite about it and say"weshall
be glad to receive as full answers as yon
care to send us."
Now these men are doing this to make
u living for themselves and their families
and are not to bo blamed for their efforts,
but where is the newspaper man that
would have tho unmitigated cheek to ask
one-third of these questions and take the
chances of being fired out of the window
the door being out of repair!
HI? -Sea Lion
A tremendous splashing in one of tho
fish traps near Hwaco attracted tho atten
tion of men along tho shore Jast Tuesday
evening. Hastening to tho trap they
found one of tlm biggest sea lions ever
seen in tho Columbia river. Procuring
rifles they fired at him. The first shot
enraged tho monster and he started in
killing all tho big salmon in tho trap.
So enraged was tho phoca that ho tore
the fish to pieces, and not till seven balls
had pierced him did the shaggy monster
give up tho ghost. He was landed on the
Argonaut and on tho arrival of that ves
sel at Astoria yesterday morning ho at
tracted considerable attrtUfcm as ho
weighed between 800 and 900'pounds, and
was "nearly as big as a cow." The A rgo
naut took tho huge carcass up to Clifton
yesterday afternoon.
