The Madrono, sailed from New York for this coast on the 1st inst. Bergman & Co.'s establishment looks vivid since it received that last coat of paint. The new rovenuo cutter Richard Rushis receiving her maohinory at San Francisco and will soon sail for the Sound. Considerable building has been done in Astoria this season in the way of building new houses and im proving old ones. A carpenter at Cheney W. T., who was out of work started in to burn the town dowu or up last week, to make trade lively, and came near suc ceeding. An unusual run of salmon is re ported at Coquille City. One haul of a net caught 137, and a fisherman single handed took over COO in one day recently. Portland is shipping large quanti ties of Oregon dried prunes east, where a good demand exists. A car load of 22,000 pounds goes to Kansas City, Mo., this week. Jno. Kogers got some of the first mallard ducks of the season yester day, but he didn't keep them long, so great was the demand. From now on they will furnish an agreeable va riation to the meat bill of fare. The Seattle grand jury last Wednesday presented indictments for murder in the first degree against the five white men and two Indians who were arrested for participating in the massacre of Chinamen at Squak last month. AnOlympia correspondent of the Tacoma News takes a hopeful view of the prospective logging business, gathered from interviews with log gers in that locality, and states that it is thought that logs will be S by the first of the year, and that loggers will have all they can do. Sometimes it is strawberries, other times potatoes, then again plums or pears; always the largest. This time it is hops. A bunch of hops was brought to the office yesterday, each individual hop beinc two and a half inches in length, the hops sticking on the vino as thick as hairs on a dog's back. In these days of chilly mornings and occasional tardy fires it is well to remember that it is the vapor of coal oil that explode and that an explosion of the kind can occur when tho oil in the can is apparently some distance from the fire. If tho oil can is kept about 44 feet from the fire under all circumstances there will be little danger from that source. A boys' and girls' aid society has been permanently organized in Port land. The idea is to have a receiv ing home and a superintendent for juvenile delinquents who are yet young in wickedness and who might be reclaimed if given a show instead of being flung in with hardened crim inals and given a shove down the steep grade of social outlawry. H. M. Wotherbe was out duck hunting yesterday, and when about a mile this side of Knappa ho found the dead body of a woman on an isl and in the tules. The body was bad ly decomposed. There were some torn clothes near the body, which had evidently lain for many weeks where found. A party go Tip on the Qen. Custer this morning to bring the remains down hero and hold an inquest. To-morrow's boat race promises to be an interesting contest. The fol lowing boats have entered for tho race: Parole, 20ft 3in., owned by Denny Curran and John Nelson; John L., 20 ft. 2 in., Jas. Turk; Har ry Bingham, 19 ft 8 in., W. li. Wc Cabe; Fride of the Columbia, 20 ft 4 in., Hugh McCormick; Brownie, 20 ft, J. W. "Welch; Bate Campbell, J. Johnson. Pools were sold last night on the race, no boat appearing to be the special favorite. O. T. Thomes and his companeros yesterday launohed a finely fitted up scow in which to shoot the festive duck. It has all the modern conven iences, and a duck hunt in that scow will not be attended with the usual discomforts in a camp whore you get back in the rain at 5 r. si., and have to start a fire and the matches aro wet and the bacon is gone and the coffee has spilled in the pepper and your dripping hat puts the fire out and tho dog upsets tho frying pan and the other fellow has mislaid his pocket flask. All this brilliant sunshine and glory of the dawn and majesty of noon and holy hush of eventide and solemn stillness of tho night; all the pink and purple and rosy flush and scarlet and sunset sheen shimmering in violet and tints of azure into blue and silver hath flown. Across the hill last eve came a blast from old ocean, the fog is rolling in ragged and brown and the harbor bar is moaning, and the wind and rain have turned loose and you'd better shoot that straw hat and hunt a rubber coat tost. Monday forenoon a gold watch key charm with moss agate base. Finder will be liberally rewarded by returning to G. W. Lounsberry, at O. R. & N. Co.'s office. Ready For Business.

A largo number of people went to Smith's point yesterday morning to soo the launch of the new pilot schooner, Gov Jloodj. Those who got there by 11:30 saw the launch, though it was not high water for some time afterward. A good many were disappointed, getting there after the launch of the vessel. There is always something inter esting and exciting in the launch of a vessel. At the last moment the vrays arc cut simultaneously on both sides of her bow, a wedgo is driven in, there is a little shiver, a slide and with a long steady glide the vessel slips off her cradle and plunges into the sea. The launch yesterday morning was in every way a success. For just the fractional part of a second she hung at the fin ish; the nest instant she was afloat, and as she swung around the univer sal remark was regarding her grace ful appearance. She had 37 tons of ballast aboard, and when loaded aft a little more to bring her stern down and drawing about nine feet forward it is thought that few sail craft on tho coast will beat her in speed. Her launch was signalized by the breaking on tho bow of a bottle in tho hands of a little daughter of Jno. Eutter, tho builder of the vessel. Fourteen men were aboard, who, af ter the launch of tho vessel, gave "three cheors for the Gov. Joor.y," which were responded to from tho shore. It is thought that tho rig ging and finishing will take three or four days more, when the vessel will be ready for use. ESCAPED PATIENT. Deputy SheriffHawks, of Multno mah county, started up yesterday morning with C. F. McConnack, a young attorney of Portland, who had been committed to tho asylum. The train slowed up at State street, and the patient and Mr. Hawks being on tho platform of 0113 of the cars, Mc Cormaek jumped off. In trying to prevent him from escaping Mr. Hawks waB pulled off, and received a cut on his head and several severe bruises on his body, and the patient ran away. Mr. Hawks took a cab at the depot and hunted throughout the city for the escaped patient, but without find ing him. McConnack, as soon as he rot awav. mado a bee line for the state house, but ho recognized Gov. Moody s house and went 111 to call ou the governor. After a short time ho went up the state house, and as tho supremo court was in session he went up to their room aud threw them into confusion by trying to argue a case before them. Henry Price, the cab man, heard whero ho was, and when he found him he was laying his speech off to the supromo court in a manner that would discount a stump orator about election times. Henry look charge of him and took him out to the asylnm, where he was turned over to the proper authorities. Sa lem Statesman, 7. The Oreyonian takes up the mat ter of roads and says that the pres ont road system is a failure. That is a fact. It will continue to be a fail ure while tho several counties fool away the large sums raised by taxa tion". "What has Clatsop couu ty to show for the comparatively large amounts of taxes paid? There is very little passable thoroughfare in the whole county. Ail that connects us with Tillamook county is a legislat ive enactment and a trail. But with a large proportion of tho road tax paid to the men that collect it, an other large portion frittered awav in a matter similar to our beautiful "street improvements," and a compar atively small amount put where it will do the most good, nothing bet ter thau tho present st'.tus cau be ex pected. The Ore'jonian asks the press of tho stato what they think about it Judging from observation The Astoriak thinks that individual honesty and official activity are re quired to properly apply the large sums annually raised by taxing the people. The best hand wc of Astoria can take in this present Chinese agitation is to give onr own race tho preference aud let the Chinaman alone as much and as far as possible. If there is a little job of cutting wood or of shovel ing, or of anything else that a China man can do and usually is on hand to do give it to one of our own race, even if it does cost two bits more. The true way to make "tho Chinese go" is to refuse to employ them. If we all did that aud stuck together in a continued refusal to employ them they would go fast enough. As far as laundry work is concerned it ap pears to be totally in tho hands of the Chinese, tuougli tuero aro several deserving whito women in the city who would be glad to got washing and ironing to do and could do it just as neatly as tho Chinese laun dries.

Uccent reviews of tho English market show that in July actual sales were made in Liverpool at 15s163 for well known brands and for these goods 20s20s 9d is readily realized to-day. "We look for further .im provement on present conditions and a sharp advance in values. A few large dealers have become impressed with the advantages of the situation and believing that canned salmon is good property, have bought quite ex tensively during tho past few weeks, According to careful estimato of stocks at homo and abroad they found the available supply totally inadequate for the demand from now until June. They went into the market quietly and accepted all reasonable offers, and now tho market is controlled by a salmon syndicate. Investigation shows that the ''heavy salmon stock in Great Britain" was a myth, existing only in the imagin ation of the American Grocer. And now we have reliable information to the effect that brokers have beon ac tively engaged in purchasing all the salmon offering here, tho stock on tho river and portions of the cargoes afloat" for Europe and New York, That "Wm. T. Coleman & Co. during the past month havo purchased on their own and joint account, 70,000 cases and upward, all for export, aud that they now virtually control tho salmon market as they own the bulk of tho Eastern stock, and the stock afloat and in Europe. The available stock in San Fran cisco market does noi exceed two carloads. These are perhaps ten car loads on the Columbia river available for shipment The local market be ing entirely bare, New York must supply the trade of the United States from now till next June, and wo ex pect to seo shipments from New York to Denver. Fall packing is about ended; the npput has been light, compared with other years. Eastern dealers may be able to form somo idea of tho future of the salmon mar ket from tho fact that foreign coun tries are buying Sacramento river fall pack, and paying S1.02 per dozen. G. W. Humo has just sold 3,000 cases of the Carqninez Packing company's goods at that price for export to Aus tralia, which is equivalent to $1.05 for domestic shipment or $L27 de livered cast Wm. T. Coleman & Co. sold on Monday. September 28th, 2,500 cases of Umpqua river fish, Bear brand fall pack, at Sl,03 for ex port to Australia, equivalent to Sl.071 for domestic shipment or $1.30 delivered east. This same lot or fish was offered a week ago at S1.075-X delivered east, but tho price did not meet the buyers' viows until Australia took the lot at an advance of 22, cents per dozen or nearly 81.00 per case above American offers ten days ago. There has also been a salo of 10,000 cases of tho Flag brand for Liverpool duriug tho week at 20s 9d c f. f. The Thistlo and other Columbia river brands brought bettor prices. Deal ers nt last have couceded the short ago in tho Pacific coast pack which was so accurately foretold. Tho Co lumbia river pack showed a shortage of 131.G10 cases and tho fall packs generallv being short will show a de ficit of fully 300,000 in the pack of the coast for the present season. The Pugot sound cauners mado arrange ments for a heavy pack, but the run falling short, their expectations havo not been realized. The Frazer river pack shows a shortago as well as the Skeeua and other outside rivers. Since tho above was iu type wo have learned that Wm. T. Coleman & Co., during the last ien days have pur chased 100,000 cases of Columbia river fish in addition to the large pur chases made iu tho east aud en route, aud that of this amount 70,000 cases have bseu resold by them at an ad vance of from thirty-five to fifty cents per case and that the market is still on the climb. That also all the fall packs havo been contracted for by the above named firm. We also report tho purchase by Wm. T. Coleman fc Co., on vessel bound for New York 19,000 cases; also 15,000 cases fall pack which has been resold to Australia. Offers of ISs have baeu rotused for Frazer river fish to Great Britain, for which 15s was declined week before last Cal.
