It is only "journalists" that say those things: a newspaper man, if he did write it, would see it before it was given the immortality of type. The Oregon came in yesterday; the State is up the valley somewhere; ike Earl Derby, Celumbus: Willa mette, Mary E. Rush and Webfoot went to sea. The British ship Car maethon Castle, 1,407, Richards mas ter, fourteen days from San Pedro, arrived in.

A diver repaired the vessel, and she sailed again October 22, with a cargo of cauned salmon valued at 90,000. The Chicago Tribune of recent date says "Miss Grace Hawthorne pre sented the "New Camille" at the Grand Opera house last night before a large and appreciative audience, and created a moBt favorable impres sion. The performance on the whole was so good that, we understand, a return engagement has been booked, at which time we shall give her per formance more extended criticism."

Gray aHd the em ployes associated with them in the suit brought for salvage in the Queen of the Pacific case, the only thing that can be definitely ascertained is that the money was not paid into court, but that a check for the amount was drawn on Good all, Perkins & Co., and the underwriters. It remains for these parties to either pay the money or appeal the case. It is considered very probable that they will not ap peal. John Elwood, a merchant from Semiahmoo, who has also a salmon cannery at Point Koberts, at the entrance of Boundary bay, about fourteen miles from Semiahmoo, tells a Seattle reporter, he put up this season 300 barrels of what are known commercially as "salmon bel lies." "Salmon are so numerous," he says, "at Point Boberts that we only take the best part of the fish to put up, wo find a market for the pro ducts of our establishment in Chi cago and the east Speaking of the runs, he said, there were three at Point Boberts and on the Frazer river a year.

C. Trulliuger has taken hold ofa scheme to light Astoiia by elec tric light, that commends itself in va rious ways to tho favorable consider ation of the citizens. He has bought from the California Electrical Con struction Co., one of their Keith dynamo-electric- machines and will shortly be in a position to make pro posals to the city council and to bus iness men regarding the lighting of streets, stores, offices, business houses and private dwellings. His engines at the West Shore mills will run the plant which will be of sufficient mag nitude to supply twenty lights, each of a nominal 2,600 candle power. 'J. he system of lighting is similar in general to that in Portland, where the lamps are suspended from the wire at the crossing of principal streets, so that each lamp lights up four streets. The essential particu lars are different, as this is a different company, but the general principle is the same. The chief advantages are first the extraordinary brilliancy and beauty of the light: second, the abso lute safety, for good light is the best police protection that can be afferded: , third, the greatest care to life and property along tho docks and water lots where so many have sustained severe, and sometimes fatal, acci dents. The light is offered for just half what the citizens of Portland have to pay. There they pay $5.00 a Aveek for the lights; Astorians will be asked to pay S20 a week. Mr. S. W. Bias dell, the agent of the company, calcu lates lares mat seventeen eiecmc street; , icnown piaCes. the former having lamps will light up the whole city far,, irnnrWi ntrK- nnt nr .n'chinM. more effectively and at no more cost than the present system of oil lamps. Mr. Trulhnger states his intention of- once seeing the brilliant light none of us would want to i go back to the I "" i' u' " """": "; state, J. win go oacK a trine in Astootan oflice to show what kind of , oarlv historv of the counliy. a light it is.

Came Ashore on Clatuji Beach. Ed. Grimes reports that on lues-! day night, a white plunger twenty- eight or thirty feet long, with the name Emma painted on her stern, came ashore about a mile below his house. When seen on "Wednesday morniug there was nothing in her but a sack of California flour; about ten feet of the mast was in place with some tattered sail still ad hering. Two men who came up from Tillamook along the beach say that they saw the plunger off Tillamook bar Monday afternoen: that she was then going before the wind apparent ly all right. The only presumption is that sometime Tuesday she upset and whoever was in her was drowned. It may bo that additional intelligence may be gained farther down the coast. Cutting Affray at Brookfleld. Chas. Miller, a Frenchman aged forty-five, came down to the hospital yesterday evening from Brookfield. badly cut on the face, head and hands. According to his story he had had some trouble with a mau up there named Portmau aud while sit ting down Portman came at him with a hand ax. hitting him on the head several times and inflicting as many ugly though not dangerous cuts. The worst gash is across the back of his right hand, cutting all the joints of his knuckles and disabling him for life. Keynote to Health. Health is wealth. Wealth means in dependence.

Washington Territory Oyster Beds its Early Settlement. Twenty miles north of the Colum bia river, following the surf-beaten beach of the grand old Pacific, brings one to the quaint little village of Oys terville, with it3 heterogenous collec tion of buildings and habitations, its irregular streets and numerous open plazas, and its sturdy, ever day going inhabitants. Shoalwater bay stretches itself to a length of thirty miles to the north and south, and its west shore forms the eastern boundary of the town just mentioned. The bay having au average width of seven miles and a length of thirty, covers to a considerable extent the main ter ritory of Pacific county, of which Oysterville is the county seat "When the tide is out, long stretches of bare flats are exposed upon which are cultivated the numerousjbivalves. Oysterville one of the oldest towns in the county, had its early origin through the channel of natural in dustry. Oysters had been found in a natural state iu large quantities, and this fact soon attracted quite an immigration. The product sold well in the few markets then existing, aud as money began to How back in ex- clmnp0 -for the oyster8f other comers were attracted and songnt to take a hand in the lucrative em ployment. Little settlements were made at various portions of the bay, some remain to-day, others have about faded out of sight with decay. Amoug the settlements that took rank twenty years ago, were Diamond City, Bruceport and Bay Center, Bruceport being the oldest town on theBay. Now tho two former are only Ju order to convey more correotly the bit ot lisiory ana wi,at ha3 been lo d also to ive itfl nreient tne 4lio schooner Roieri jin'lce sailed into Shoalwater bay direct from San ,vll011 aollL wonl(1 rpsnlt in a liaml some amount to her owners. She was maimed by five men and a cook. Of this number, one was captaiu and cook were joint . ownera. Meeting Avith uo obstacle she sailed in some u, , , -, ,, , ten or twelve miles from the entrance i to tho bay, and cast anchor at a point j abreast of what is now known as Bruceport. Upon embarking aud reaching shore, a small court of In- dians was found and amoug them a white man, who it is related, had found his way thither fromtJhinook- ville, a small habitation on the Col umbia (Bakers Bay). It was ascer tained that oysters could be found and iu quantities to suit, aud the In dian, whoso superior knowledge here comes to the front, was engaged to furnish so many baskets iu so many nioous for so much whisky, and other, but less invigorating commodities. Upon the evening of the third day after arriving, the cook who had some spite against his companions, set fire to the vessel, and made his escape with a small boat. By tho time the fire was discovered, it was too late to save much of her contents, and as she was lying on her beam end. the tide having receded, she was almost entirely consumed. What ever became of the cook was never known, but the five seamen became the first settlers upon Shoalwater bay, some of whom spent years of their life hero aud raised large fami lies, and entered into active pursuit of the succulent bivalve. The business of oyster gathering rapidly grew in proportions until the whole bay was alivo with sloops, aud beds were planted everywhere. Oys terville began some twenty years ago, lo be quite a town. Such men as Tom and Johu Crellin, had coino here, aud as common with mou ot su perior business capacity, they ad vanced from ordinary fishermen to oyster princes. They built large stores, carried immense stocks of goods, employed schooners to take their products to San Francisco, and were the prime movers on the bay. Other men took an aotive hand iu the industry until a very remarkable and sudden decline took place, which iu ita sweeping devastation completely paralvzed the industry. It camo in the nature of a storm so severe in ex tent, that oysters were killed, save only in deep water, and the result was the abandonment of the field. From 1872 to 1871 the output was very large, running from 100,000 bas kets in 1872 to 140,000 in 1874. After this came the storm, and soon after the Crellins moved away, and the at tention ot tho inhabitants had to be turned in other directions. In 1880 the bivalves began to grow and fatten, and in the following two years con siderable business was done. But not since early days have they ap peared in such quantities and in such condition for market as. they have this year. Fully 100.000 baskets will be the export this season. Among the most prominent oyster men on the bav at the present time, are Wm. Mills li. H. Bhodes, W. B. Clark, Chas. Fisher, and Geo. "Wilson, of Bay Center; B. H. Espy, L A. Clark and S. P. Greeuman, of Oysterville, be sides several hundred others, who either work or own beds of their own. There is fully 200 men employed in oyster fishing at the prestent time, embracing a capital, outside of the value of their beds, of $75,000. Corr.

The matter of swamp lauds has been, and is now a fruitful source of dispute and litigation in this state, and under existing conditions cannot bo otherwise The longer some defi nite settlement of the whole question is put off, the longer permanent and satisfactory occupation of tho soil will be deferred. Though the state did not till 1870 assume control of the swamp lands granted her by virtue of state sov ereignty in 1860, it has been decided by tho supreme court that her failure or neglect to assume such control in no way inured to deprive her ot any legal title to the lands in question. It is further understood that swamp land is interpreted to mean land that is overflowed land covered twice a day by the tide not coming under this designation. In 1872 provision was made by the state for the acquiring of title to such land, and again in 1878. Under theso acts it is stated that an im mense amount of land has been claimed and is held in a manner sim ilar in substance and eqnally injuri ous to settlers to the way the O. & C. till lately held the tract usually known as the Astoria land grant It is claimed with considerable show of truth that there are now in this coun ty several thousand acres of fine land in the vicinity of Knappa. which bona fide settlers are greatly desirous of procuring, but which are claimed by parties, who, it is believed can not furnish conclusive evidence of abso lute title. Just beyond our county bor ders lies a large island extend ing eastward along the river from "Westport to Oak Point moun tain, a distance of twelve or fifteen miles which is held in extenso by a Portland syndicate. "Within tho past few weeks thirty-niuo settlers have each staked off 160 acres of land and a majority of them built houses thereon and intend to make a test case as to whether these lands can or can not be held by speculators under shadowy titles, or whether they are open to" actual entry with the intent of reclaiming them as the law con templates. This land embraces some seven or Jeight townships in 7 and 8 north, Banges 3. 4. and 5. W. T. Messrs. Chas. Sbackleford, on the part of the United States and Frank Abernethy on the part of the stato were down here last weok, made an examination and sent on their report to the laud commissioner at Washing ton. Till the land commissioner takes action on this report and such action is published the matter will have to stand as at present. But one thing is certain: this whole mai mer ot swamp lauds is going to be investigated. If the men that hold it now have a right to it investigation can do them no wrong; they should have their rights confirmed to them aud the' title secured without pos sibility of future cavil or dispute: if they have no right; if they are simply acting the dog in the manger, the government should at once wrest these valuable lauds from their grasp and place them at the disposal of men who want to go ahead and im prove them. - . . Tacoma Chinatown Bnrncd. Tacoma, Nov. 5.- -The Chinese quar ters near the railroad wharf were de stroyed by fire at 11 o'clock this morning. The fire was of incendiary origin. About twenty houses were burned. The firemen after a hard hard fight checked the ilames, tear ing down houses and forming a buck et brigade.
