The Henry Yillard is discharging
coal at Flavel's wharf.
W. H. Reed's sporting house has a
restaurant connected with it, ran in
the eastern style.
The Comadre cleared for Kings
Lynn yesterday with 42.GG0 b.

THe. annual school meeting in dis
tricitrvo. One will be held on the even
ing of Monday, March 1st.
Large quantities of potatoes are be
ing shipped to San Francisco, with
very little profit 25 cents a ton being
considered satisfactory in the lack of
better returns.
The Astoria:; opens its columns to
the discussion of public questions.
It recognizes the right of every one
to be heard and wants all who feel so
inclined to feel that they can in this
paper have a fair chance to Epeak.
Col. J. F. Backensto is organizing
Cantons. Last Tuesday ho organized
at Albany Canton No. 1, Patriots Mil
itant of the L O. O. F. The News
says Col. Backensto will soon organ
ize a Canton from the L O. O. F., at
Roseburg and another Canton at As
toria. The Gen. Canby went aground on
the upper end of Sand Island in a
dense fog yesterday morning. The
mail and passengers were transferred
and carried through and the return
trip was made by the John West.
The Canby will doubtless be got off
to-day.
The Mamanita went down to the
middle sands yesterday afternoon and
replaced No. 7 buoy opposite Ft.
Stevens. This may be considered
the "maiden buoy" of the Jfanza
nita. Capt. Gregory expresses him
self as being very well pleased with
his new vessel.
A regular San Francisco fog spread
over the river and city yesterday, al
most entirely stopping navigation.
Steamboat men say that such a fog
as yesterday's, a dazzling gray, with
the sun shining through it, make3 it
more difficult to get along than a dark,
heavy fog would.
Wm. Reid is paying 1.23 a day to
white men and 50 cents a day to Chi
namen on his narrow guage road. He
says at these fignre3 he finds the
white men's labor is more profitable
to the company. His Chinese will all
be discharged when their coulracts
expire on the 31st of March.
Messrs. Cary and "Warren gave a
fine exhibition at Ross' opera house
last evening, their graceful evolutions
eliciting continuous applause from
those present. Mr. Cary is without
doubt the best performer on the roller
skates that has ever been here. "Wil
lie Warren surprised even his friends
last evening with the variety and
dexterity of his acts on the bicycle.
It is doubtful if there is to-day his
superior on the coast in fancy bicycle
riding.
THAT DISPATCH.
The Astobiak editorially stated
last Sunday its belief that a disgrace
ful and false dispatch which appeared
in the San Francisco papers in July,
'83, had emanated from the Orego
nian office. In yesterday's issue that
paper says that the dispatch was not
sent by it nor by any of its employes.
This is plain and positive, and in view
of the denial The Astoriax with
draws its charge.
"When the lying statement appeared
the writer asked the only two men in
this citj' who sent dispatches to the
associated press if they had sent tho
dispatch in question. They each
said "No," and expressed indignation
at its appearance. Circumstances
prior and subsequent led to the be
lief that similar dispatches prepared
in Portland and dated ostensibly
from Astoria were sent to San Fran
cisco. The question now arises, who
sent that particular lie, to Astoria's
great injury. The Astobiak's only
motive in speaking of the matter is to
prevent, as far as in its power, the
possibility of its recurrence.

Changes at the Rier Moutli.
Mr. N. D. Raymond, city surveyor.
has an old map of the mouth of the
river, drafted in this city in 1850, that
gives a good idea of the changes that
have taken place in that locality in
the past generation. There are two
Sand Islands depicted on this map,
both being contiguous and farther
north and west than the present Sand
Island. Chinook spit puts out from
Scarborough Head, stretching west,
and considerably longer than that of
to-day. ThonorUi and south chan
nels are plainly marked, the one go
ing directly by the base of Cape Han
cock, and the other well in towards
Pt Adams. That point puts out far
ther to tho north and west than at
present, and the present site of Ft.
Stevens is marked as being covered
with a heavy forest growth.

Closing of a Large Establishment.
Chicago, Feb. 1G. The extensive
McCormick reaper works closed down
this merning: fourteen hundred men
are thus thrown out of employment.
Certain union men demanded the dis
missal of several non-union men. A
committee was appointed to wait on
McCormick and insist on that point
He refused to meet the committee
and at once shut down the works in
definitely. This may cause much dis
tress as many of the operatives arc
very poor.

FROM CAPT. POWELL'S REPORT.
Capt. C. V. Powell in hid annual
report to the secretary of war, in
speaking of bar fishing and fish traps
on the lover Columbia says:
"1 have previously called attention
to an injurious effect on the bar chan-
Lnels of the net fishing; and I took
cccasiou to say tint, I have not seen
any reason during the Last two j'ears
to change my opinion of the injur
ious action of the fishing net on the
channels; nor that the nrevcntiou of
the bar fishing would not retard the
salmon canning interests of the Col
umbia river.'
"Pilots have filed written com
plaints in this office of fish trap as
obstructing navigation in the Sum
amish slough, a passage of Puget
sound between Seattle and Whatcom,
and of traps in the lower Columbia
river, one mile below Astoria, and at
Chinook point, between Astoria and
Fort Canby.
"The fish traps consist of a long
lead running out from shore, and a
large pen or trap at the outer end.
Both parts are made of piling, and
sometimes the lead, and always the
trap, of a network of strong materials
attached to the piling.
"Many of these traps exist in the
lower Columbia river. Their use is
being introduced into other rivers
of the Oregon and Washington
coasts.
"The traps of Snmamish slough
and near Astoria should be removed.
I have described the fish traps as
permeable dikes, which check the
current and cause a fill behind them.
"These traps are coming into ex
tended use in the Columbia river,
from the month to near the Willam
ette river, about 100 miles distant.
They have been generally located, so
far, to the advantage of the main
channel; but efforts have been made
to build traps where they would be
detrimental to it and obstructive to
passing vessels. Pilots have prevent
ed,! believe, the building of traps at
places where they would encroach up
on the ships channel by threats of the
destruction of the trap's.
"No authority is exercised or dele
gated by tho state in locating or
limiting fish trap3. They are built as
a right of the land owner, the same
as a public wharf or lauding pier
should be.
"In order to preserve and maintain
the ship channel, the planting of fish
traps, as tho building of other struct
ures in the river, should be under
the active control of some authority
fully advised of present and probable
future improvements for navigation
of the river and in harmony with the
work thereof."

JIITCHELL'S CHINESE BILL.
To Be Discussed in Congress Next Tnesday.
On Tuesday next Senator John EL
Mitchell will call up his bill provid
ing for abrogation of the treaty per
mitting immigration of Chinese. He
will be able to show, he says, that not
only was it in the power of the United
States to abrogate a treaty, bnt that
the doctrine had been recognized by
all acts of congress, commencing over
eighty years ago with abrogation of
the treaty with France. He holds it
to be the bounden duty of congress
to provide for abrogation of the Chi
nese immigration treaty.
After discussion the bill will be re
ferred to the committee on foreign re
lations. In the preamble Mitchell's bill re
cites that the treaties with China, es
pecially that of 1853, the Burlingame
treaty, and the supplementary one of
1867, have proved pernicious to the
peace, domestic tranquility and gen
eral welfare of the United States.
The bill then provides as follews:
Section 1 provides that all treaties
between the United States govern
ment and the Chinese empire hereto
fore made and now in force, in so far
as they or any of them recognize or
permit the coming of Chinese to the
United States, and in so far as they
or auy of them inhibit the govern
ment of the United States from abso
lutely prohibiting the coming of Chi
nese to the United States, and all acts
of congress heretofore passed and
now in existence, in so far as they or
any of them, in nny manner, or un
der any terms, or upon any condi
tions, recognize or permit the coming
to the Chinese to the United States
of Chinese, whether subjects of the
Chinese empire or otherwise, be and
the same are hereby abrogated, set
aside and repealed.
Section 2 provides that from and
after the passage of this act it shall
be unlawful for any Chinese person
or persons, whether subjects of the
Chinese empire or otherwise, as well
as" those who are now within the lim
its of the United States and who may
hereafter leave the United States and
attempt to return, as well as those
who never have been here, or having
been here have departed from the
United States, save and excepting
only such as miy b2 duly accredited
to the government of the United
States as ministers plenipotentiary or
other diplomatic representatives, con
suls, general consular and commer
cial agents, including other officers
of the Chinese and other govern
ments traveling upon tho business of
that government, with their body
and house servants, to come within
or land at, or remain at any port or
place within the United States; and
the coming of Chinese persons to the
United States, excepting the classes
hereinbefore specifically described
and excepting from and after the
passage of this act is absolutely pro
hibited. Section 3 makes it a misdemeanor
for the master of any vessel to bring
to or land in the United States any
Chinese, except the classes specified,
and provides punishment.
Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and
12 provide for the issuance of certi
ficates and punishment for falsely
issuing such certificates, or the sub
stitution of persons other than those
for whom the certificates were intend
ed. Section 13 prohibits any state or
United States court from admitting
Chinese to ciizdnship, and provides
that all Chinese persons now in the
United State3, who may at any time
hereafter depart, and all who are not
in the United States, shall be subject
to all the provisions, conditions prop
ositions and penalties of this act
Section 14 provides for the repeal
of the acts of May G, 1882, and July
5, 1881, with a provision that nothing
in this act shall affect any prosecu
tion or other proceeding, civil or
criminal, begun under any existing
law.

GOOD WORDS FOR TIIE CLAM.
A clam is unobtrusive. He is of a
retiring disposition and does not
thrust itself upon society.
A clam is peaceful, but at the same
time no coward. When attacked, he
bites.
A clam is contented with his lot m
life. No clam ever tried to be an
oyster.
A clam is trustworthy. No secret
told to a clam has ever been di
vulged. A clam is very close.
A clam is beautiful and wears fine
clothes. No clam would go through
life with a rough and rugged shell
like an oyster.
A clam attends strictly to business.
His business is to be a clam, and he
is.
A clam is self-possessed. He keeps
cool under very trying circumstances.
Be a clam and imitate the industri
ous bivalve when thrown upon a lee
shore by going about business in a
business way.
Be a clam, and be useful to the
world by laboring for the sustenance
of others as well as yourself.
Be a clam, and deport yourself so
that, though your exterior may be
rough, you can take as high a polish
as the best of men.
Be a clam and boldly view all
schemes of designing men.
Be a clam, and be honest never as
piring to something you cannot reach.
Be a clam, and attend strictly to
your own business at all times.
Be a clam, and always have plenty
of sand about you.
ine clam grows the fossil does
not.
The clam knows when to shut up.
He exhibits more discretion in this
respect than the majority of the hu
man race.
The clam hides in the sand but you
know just where to find him when
you want him, which can't be said of
a politician. It don't tako hard dig
ging to find the clam; for, however,
lie may exclude himself from society.
he still keeps up connection with it
through his breathing funnels.
He's a shell fish, but that does not
necessarily make him selfish. He
never neglects his own bnsiness to
bother about other people's business
a kind of selfishness that wo aro
sorry is not more popular.
He protects himself against in
truders. If a crab pops a pebble be
tween his shell, the clam doesn't
bother himself about ejecting it. He
subjects it to some chemical process
and changes it to a pearl, thus con-
triDutmg to tue weanu or tne worm.
Uaaeceasary Werk.
A lady who is convinced that at
least one quarter of the work done
by women is unnecessary, says the
world would go on quite as well
without it. She likens it to an ottoman-cover
she once saw a ladv
work.
She was all bent up, and was put
tinghereyesoutcountingstitches. "I
don't get any time for reading," she
said, plaintively, as she picked up
some beads on a needle. "Yon
must have a great deal of leisure."
And vet she had spent more time
embroidering a ridiculous dog on a
piece of broadcloth than would have
sufficed to read twenty good books.
It did not have the poor merit of be
ing economical, forthepriceof the ma
terials would have bought enough
handsome.damask for two covers.
A friend of mine tells of seeing a
squaw seat herself by the town
pump, unroll a bundle of calico, cut
out a dress, make it, put it on and
walk off, all in about two hours. I
have always regretted that he did
not continue the story b' telling me
that the squaw spent her abundant
leisure beautifully.
I would not have women reduce
their sewing to quite bo simple a per
formance, but a good deal would be
gained if they thought more about
living and less about its accidents.
Hard Times.
While money is close, wages and
prices low, expenses should be cut down
in every household. Economy the watch
word for Mothers, head off Doctor bills,
by always keeping in tho house a bottle

WHAT "CITIZEN" THDJKS.
Astoria, Feb. 16, 18S6.
Editor Asterian: In this morn
ing's Astorian you announce the
true doctrine, theory and principle of
our government and of all good gov
ernments, respecting the particular
matter there discussed, namely, the
freedom of action guaranteed to all
citizens in the matter of selecting,
subscribing for and buying, or not
buying such things whether news
papers, food, clothing, servants, em
ployes or other things, as such citi
zens may choose, unawed and with
out restraint, or coercion from any
other persons.
That doctrine, or principle or what
ever you may call it, is so sound, so
healthful and so truthful that it
might well be repeated, reiterated
and preached npon every day, in ev
ery column of The Astoria for the
next three months at least, and not
be discarded at all then, so that all
new comers and recent immigrants to
the United States, among us here,
should fully understand that one
principle, at least, of our government.
And the consideration of it would not
come amiss to some of our native
born citizens.
Allow me to repeat that principle
here. It is this, concerning the boy
cotting of the Oregonian, you said:
"A man has a right to do as be pleases,
provided he does not interfere with his
neighbor's right to do as he pleases.
That is onr idea of liberty. A man has
a right to stop taking a newspaper. If
he don't like it ho can let it alone. But
he should allow his neighbor the samo
privilege he claims for himself. It is no
more right to say to a man 'You shan't
take the Oregonian,'1 than to sav, 'You
shall take the News.1 One would be as !
justifiable as the other."
Now apply that doctrine to the ac-
finnq nf nonnlo in Aafnrin TOir nra
running salmon canneries, ditching
tide lands, raising vegetables, dispos
ing of garbage about houses, grub
bing out roots and stumps to get
cultivatable land, grading streets
that cost more thau tho adjacent
property is worth after the grading
is done, and I think it must be ad
mitted there is no right, reason or
justice in the present crusade of
some of our good people against the
Chinese in our city.

The Water Boys In Connecticut
The water boy who goes through
the passenger trains in Connecticut,
with his pail of water and tray of
tumblers, offering free drinks to all
the passengers, is a survival of the'
war period. During the rebellion
thousands of sick and wounded sol
diers passed through the State on
their wav home to be nursed, and'
many of them, their canteens being
empty, longed in vain for a draught
of cool water. The late J. F. Trum
bull, of Stonington, who was in the
Legislature at the time, having rid
den on a train in which were home
returning soldiers and noticing their
distress on account of their inability
to get water, at once pushed a law
through the Legislature providing
that all railroads in the State must
carry water boys on their passenger
trains. The statute still remains in
force.

ding, but it is a mile and a half by
