The Astoria? guarantees to its ad vertisers the largest circulation of anv newspaper published on the Columbia river. This paper is on file at the. St. Charles IJotel, Portland, Or. The Columbia is due this morning from San Francisco. The Oregon sails. The telephone servico in this city is now furnished at a reduced rate, being $5.60 a month for business houses. The Tacoma Ledger says that the skat ing rink in that oity has paved the way to ruin for more than ono young girl. The bark Rover of Uie Seas cleared from Victoria for London last Wednes day with 19,700 cases salmon aboard. The British ship if. . Walson, 1C70, 101 days from Panama, 19 days from San Francisco, where she put in for supplies, arrived in yesterday in ballast. School in district No. 18 begins next Monday, and the little folks are busy getting school books and supplies ready for the fall and winter campaign. Ducks for which the Portland Chinese used to pay $18 a dozen in the flush times of two years ago now go begging for purchasers and cannot bo sold at any price. The stock and fixtures of the Seaside bakery were bid in at sheriff's sale yester day by Clum Brown. Should he leave the custom house he may run the estab lishment. There is cholera in Spain, smallpox in Canada, yellow fever in Mexico, floods and famine in India and China. Cy clones and dynamiters make it lively elsewhere. In Astoria we have street ''improvements." No additional information could bo got yesterday regarding the two men drowned last Tuesday night, and beyond the statement from arrivals from Knapp ton that the survivor of the ill-fated par ty is fast recovering, nothing could be learned. Some quartz from the Nehalem is on exhibition at various places around town. It is very hard, tasteless, liable to break in a conchoidal fraoture when hastily struck with a large hammer and will go about 2,000 to the ton on ordina ry scales. "Deep water pilots" inform the Ore gonian "that there is a lump, abreast the mouth of the dry dock, less than 100 feet long, with only 17 feet depth. At Post office bar they say there is less than 18 feet, and the bar is 1200 feot long." It is thought the Walla Walla will bo put to work again on her return from San Francisco. The steamer Alexander Duncan, from Huenemo, loaded with hogs amd wheat, while entering San Francisco Wednes day morning, ran ashore just outside of Fort Point, on Mile rock. Her back is broken and sho will undoubtedly prove a total loss. No lives were lost. The car go is being removed and it is expected it will bo saved. The first carp ever sold in this state for consumption, was disposed of in Port land last "Wednesday by A. Ferrara to a Chinaman for fifty" cents. It weighed about throe pounds. It was presented to S. L. Stone by Mrs. Harlan, and kept in a tank in his window till it showed siens of weakness. Then Forrara put it into a larger tank, to save its life, and a China man secured it. Work is about to bo resumed on the Oregon and California line connecting San Francisco with the Columbia riTor. Work was stopped some time ago, pend ing action by congress in regard to the land grant claimed by the company. About 120 miles remain yet to complete the lino, but the work includes heavy tunneling and it will requiro some time to finish this portion. It is understood R. B. Crocker is now purchasing supplies preliminary to beginning work. A special committee appointed to in spect the lighthouse steamer Madrona has recommended its acceptance bj the lighthouse board. The committee report that in her trial trip on the Delaware river she worked smoothly and well and developed a speod of over twelve knots an hour; that she showed no structural weakness nor the least vibration from any cause. The vessel was built at a cost of $73,700, to replaoe the Shubrich -which has been in service twenty-eight years. In several places through the city are for sale little fish which appear to bo young herrings. Th6y are identical in every way with the fish packed in oil in little tin boxes and sold by every grocer in the United states as "sardines. They can bo caught by the million to ward the mouth of the river and outside the bar they are in countloss numbers. It would seem as though a "sardine" packing establishment would pay in As toria as well as in Maine. We have the fish, the buildings, the appliances, the tin, the men. Perhaps all that is lack ing is the time. COUNTY COMMISSIOXEBS' PBOCEEDIKCS. Court met at 9:30: all present: Dr. Kin Bey allowed 2X months' salary, $37.50. Application to board Wm.

Get your photographs taken at Crow's gallery by W. Lussier of San Francisco A KABROVT ESCAPE. Gallant Rescue of Tiro Xcu at Ft. Stcreni Wharf. Yesterday afternoon about three o'clock, two men named Vincent and Moody, emploi'ed on the government works at Ft. Stevens, rowed alongside one of the rock laden barges lying at the wharf to get aboard. As the boat struck the side of the barge itupset.throwing the men into the water. They were immedi ately sucked under the barge, coming to the surface about 100 feet below. The tide was going out liko a mill race, and it looked as if there was no help for the men who struck out and battled man fully for their lives, the tide carrying them swiftly down. Mr. Foster and an other man leaped into a boat which was hastily lowered from the wharf and went to their assistance. It was a race for life, but the rescuers were equal to it and reached the men before they were entire ly exhausted, they being then some three hundred yards below the wharf. In a few moments both wore hauled aboard. So great was the force of the tide that it was found impossible to make headway against it, and Foster and his compan ion landed on the beach about n quarter of a mile below the barge. This is tho first accident that has oc cured since the inception of tho work, and to the promptness of tho rescuers the men owe their lives. Some time ago Capt. Powell applied for a boat to be ready for use in just such an emergency, and it is only a few days ago that it was supplied. The davits had not yet been put up by which the boat was to swing, it lying on tho upper wharf at tho time the men were upset. The boat that they were in at tho time drifted rapidly out to sea. TIIE ILLUSTBATKD FAMILY ATLAS OF TUB WORLD. This publication is just issued by A. J. Johnson fc Co.. No. 11 Great Jones street N. Y. Tho map3 aro all engraved from the most recent and authentic sources, both in this country and Europa. The maps of all the United States are remark ably full and complete, ovary township in color, and a device by which any one can bo found with little trouble. There is a full list of postoffices in both states and territories. The great amount of historical and statistical information contained in the work gives it a valuo no other atlas possesses and makee it really equal to several ordinary volumes; there is also a paper of physiological geogra phy by Prof. Guyot. u dictionary of re ligious denominations by Prof. R. D. Hitchoock, and numerous other interest ing descriptions and valuable tables by Librarian Spofford, of Washington, who has carefully revised tho whole work. An idea of tho extent and accuracy of the work may bo gained from tho fact that $75,000 was expended upon it before the first copy was ready for delivery. The physical map?, nino of them, are all engraved on copper plate, to illustrate this new treatise on phvBical geography by Prof. A. Guyot. Prof. Agassiz, as well as all scientific men, says that Prof. Guyot is tho greatest modern geographer. Prof. Guyot was nearly four years draw ing and compiling this treatise Ten thousand dollars it cost the pub lisher to have these maps engraved and making tho plates for thi3 feature of tho atlas. It is not only recommended by tho highest authorities in this country, both north and south, but Mr. Johnson re ceived tho prize medal at tho World's Fair in Paris for the best family or general atlas extant. It is tho standard atlas of tho world. Messrs. C. H. Libby and C. C. Brower are in town introducing this excellent work. Mr. Brower will take churgo of the convass for tho atlas in Clatsop and adjoining counties. Mr. Brower is a thorough gentleman, ana u:is a worK whose merits speaks for itself. Ba sure to examine it if an opportunity presents itself. Said by subscription only. Back From Alaska. Harry Mansell, who left hero on July 4th for Cape Fox, Alaska, returned yes terday. Ho thinks it is a good country to leave unless ono was making a thous and dollars a day. He was ono of tho passengers on the detained Ancon, whose machinery broko down off Calvert island, near tho entrance to Queen Charlotte sound. Tho crew of tho vessel attempted to anchor in COO feet of water, but were unsuccessful. Boats, were lowered and efforts were made by tho crew to pull the steamer around. By splicing ropes to the cables anchorage was found for the the night, and on the following day th crow managed to pull the vessel nearly five miles by long ropes mado fast to a heavy anchor, with which they would row ahead and drop overboard. Safety Cove was reached in tho evening, whero good anchorage is afforded. At this point Captain Carroll left the vessel in a small boat with eight sailors, and wont to Victoria and sent tho tug Alexander to tho rescue. The accident occurred by one of the steamer's wheels striking a snag or log, causing the outer pillar to block and tho shaft to rise, thus forcing the cylinde's bread off. Tho silicon's pas sengers had a regular picnic during their detention and enjoyed themselves. Buclilcn. Aruica Salve.

TIIE SORTHEBX PACIFIC. The Contest for Control The Oresom Naviga tion Lsane the Point at Iwne. The annual meeting of the Northern Pacific, to bo held September 19, prom ises to be even moro exciting than tho ro;ent annual meeting of the Oregon Navigation. A variety of interests will be represented, and there aro supposed to ho at least half a dozen men who de sir and expect to bo chosen president, although they are not all open candi dates as yet. Tho names of Brayton Ives and Henry Yillard have been mentioned; but their friends say they are not in the field. It is impossible to tell what may happen, so active and energetic are the manipulation and the wire-pullings, which will increase as the date draws nigh. Among the most prominent can didates are reported to be Elijah Smith, Frederick Billings and Charles B. Wright of Philadelphia, to the last of whom Smith is particularly opposed, as ho is to Smith. Whether Bobert Harris wishes to bo re-elected or not is at pres ent unknown. If Billing3 wants tho place, Harris, who was put in the office last year by agreement, and as a sort of compromise, would not stand in his way. Billings is understood to have declined tho position then; but there may be rea sons now why ho would accept it. He is still a very largo holder of stock, both preferred and common, and as a definito policy concerning the road which ho may think will not be carried out, unless be is at tho head of tho company. The straggle for proxies is untiring. The smallest stockholders are solicited, and not one on the entire list will be un approachable; for tho combat is likely to be so close that a very few votes may de cide it. The question that came up at the Oregon Navigation election, about tho right of two of the throe trustees of the Oregon Transcontinental to voto tho stock owned by tho company, will doubt less como up again, as the three trustcos do not aeree. Sinco tho Oregon Trans continental is, as ovcrvbody knows, a very Inrgo owner in Northern Pacific stock, the decision of this point is of im mense importance, and will in all proba bility, determine tho election. Last June tho matter was compromised; it hardlv seems possible that it can bo com promised the coming month. ment. because the joint lease of tho Oregon Navigation to the Pacific roads will, no doubt, depend on the issue. The Union Pacific is nnreservodly in favor of it. Charlos B. Wright, though ho has lately indicated that he was not avcrso to tho lease, is believed to be utterly hos tile to it. His larco interest in the Ta coma Land company makes him anxious to push through tho Cascado branch, which would not be hurried if tho lease should bo consummated. He has boen playing, it is said, n very shrewd part, and believes that, supported by tho heavy Philadelphia shareholders and some others, he will carry his point. His election to tho presidency will nec essarily mean non-approval of tho leaso. JUijau omuu una nis iouowers mam tain that the nresidont of the Oregon Navigation and Oregon it Transconti nental should, for the safety and advan taeo of those companies, bo also presi dent of tha Northern Pacific. He claims to represent Boston's interosts, and to be confident of election, albeit his antag onists declare that his chanco? are small. Nevertheless they acknowledge that he has wonderful energy and power of work, and that he won in the Orogon it Navi gation fight, when they were sure ho would not. He has said that ho believed the Oregon fc Transcontinental could earn more than 5 and G per cent, in the next five years; but that the lease would, taking everything into account, proba bly bo beneficial. Charles B. Wright opposes the lease on the ground that tho road cannot earn the proposed guarantee, and talks of nothing highor than i por cant, which is prohibitory, of course. Although tho opinion of Wall street, which observes tho gathering contest with great concora, seems to oj that tiie Oregon Navigation leaso will be made, persons who havo littlo financial interest at stake in tho matter, but who have a close acquaintance with tho influences at work, are quite skeptical of the ratifica tion of the leaso. Oregon Transconti nental stockholders and directors say that if the leaso is not mado the Pacific companies will certainly build roads that will parallel the Oregon Navigation and injure its business. Of this the largo Oregon Navigation stockholders appear to feel littlo fear. Tho non-declaration of any quarterly dividend by the Oregon Navigation, which was expected September 1, has caused considerable surprise in certain quarters, in view of tho fact of tho hand somo earnings of tho road. The reason is understood to bo that the directors are awaiting tho result of the Northern Pa cific meeting, knowing that in tho event of the consummation of the leaso the dividend will be reduced to 1!, instead of 1, as hitherto, and that a dividend at present would, nnder the uncertain circumstances, be rather unbusinesslike. It is not improbable that in future tho dividends will be semi-annual. The di rectors havo not, it is said, taken any concerted action as yot on this question. After the 17th something definite will bo known. Boston Advertiser. Turps. Eastern Turpentine in nuanlities lo suit at Wn.sox & FisiiEK'.s.

AsxoniA, Or., Sept 0th, 18S3. EnrroB Asteriax: I recently took a week's trip into the Nehalem valley to see for myself its tim ber and coal. Tho timber greatly ex ceeded any previous conception that I had formed of it in quantity and quality. I found, too, that the signs of coal ex tended over a much larger country than I had expocted. Tho quality of tho coal I believe to bo as good as tho greater nart that is now sold in tho San Fran cisco market from this coast, although not the best. It will probably provo to bo tho most extensive bed of coal in the northwest. I was not ablo on account of tho lameness of ono log to mako way through the underbrush to tho thickest vein, and I will therefore ask yon to pub lish the accompanying letter from tho Hon. R. D. Cole, representative of Colum bia county, who accompanied me on much of the trip. Thore is not in my opinion a railroad in all Orogon that has paid or can pay its owners so well as a railroad to be -built from Astoria out to the Nehalem to carry this timber and coal out to Aatoria and thenco to San Francisco and tho numbers of other great markets border ing on tho Pacific ocean. Those who may wish to go through this country can ride nil the way from Asto ria to Gray's farm, and they will find houses nil tho way at wnich they can lodge. From the Nehalem vallov thero are good open roads to Forest Grove, St. Helens and Woods landing. I am ashamed to say that there is no wag on road leading to Aston?. I hopo that many of our prominent citizens will vis it this country and see its timbsr and coal for thenisolves. Aug. C. Kixxet. an. cole's lktxee. RrvEEsroB, Columbia county, Or., Sept. Gth, 1SS5.

Landmark, chief director of the Norwegian fisheries, haa published some interesting particulars of his stud ies of the capability of salmon to jump waterfalls. Ho is of opinion that the jump depends as much on tho height of tho fall as on tho currents below it. If thero be u deep pool right under the fall, where tho water is comparatively quiet, n salmon may jump sixtGen feet perpendic ular, but such jumps aro rare, and ho can only state with certainty that it has taken piaco at tno iieueios, in me Jorums river, at Haugscnd, whero two great masts have been plnced across the river for tho study of the habits of tho salmon, so that ex act measurements may bo effected. Tho height of tho water in tho river of course varies, but it is as a rnlo. when the salm on aro running up-stream, sixteen feet below these masts. Tho distance be tween tho two is three and one-half feet, aud tho professor states that he has seen salmon jump from tho river below across both masts. As another example of high jumping he mentions somo instance? of Carratunk waterfall, Reuuibec, in North America, where junqH of twolvo feot havo been recorded. Professor Land mark further states that when a salmon jumps a fall nearly perpendicular in sbane it is sometimes nolo to remain m tho fall oven if tho jump is a foot or two short of tho actual height. This, he maintains, has been proved by an over whelming quantity of evidence. The fish may then bo seen to stand for a minute or two a foot or so below tho edge of tho fall in tho same spot, in a trembling mo tion, when, with a smart twitch of tho tail, the rest of the fall is cleared. But only fish which strike tho fall straight with tho snout aro ablo to remain in tho falling mass of water; if it is Btruck ob liquely tho fish is carried back into tho stream below. This, Professor Laud mark belioves to bo the explanation of salmon passing falls with a clear descent of sixteen feet. The professor believes that this is the oxtromo jump a saunon is capable of, and points out that, of course, not nil aro capable of perform ing tbi3 feat. A Life Sarin;? Present. Mr. M. E.
