E. church will have a concert next Tuesday evening. Dr. P. Thoen has arrived from the east and located permanently at up per Astoria. N. D. Raymond began distributing city assessor's blanks in the eastern part of the city yesterday, M. W. Fechheimer, a well known lawyer of Portland, died in that city last Saturday, in the 41st year of his age. Under instructions from Lieut. Se bree, the Shubrick will be sold at auction by E. C. Hollen at noon next Saturday. Business in the justice and police courts is light and will probably con tinue so till the season is a little far ther advanced. For fifty cents, spot cash, The As toria can be chartered to make weekly voyages to any port coast or inland, from now till after the June election. The days for voters to register are the 5th. 6th or 7th of April. The Astobiak doesn't propose that any one in Clatsop county will forget this for want of being told. The Woman's relief corps will have a social dance at Pythian Castle this Tuesday evening. Tickets, one dol lar, to be had at the door. A string band will furnish the music. Mr. Thompson and wife (Carrie Godfrey) are reported to have sepa rated. 'The reasons given are vari ous, but the real one is probably no one's business but theirs. Beports from the outside are to the effect that the blow we experienced here last Friday and Saturday was as a summer zephyr in comparison to the blast that raged a few miles out to sea. Jack Grant got a telegram from C. F. Sliter, of Portland, yesterday re garding the Dempsey Le Blanche fight They fought thirteen rounds, the fight occupying forty-one min utes. Dempsey is over 310,000 ahead since he left San Francisco last No vember io fight Campbell. For some time buyers of certain brands of yeast powder have been getting silver forks, knives, spoons andotber brio-a-brac, in their cans of baking soda, and now comes a brand of tea, the purchasers of which get Japanese work of various kinds and different degrees of utility. The Corwin came in last Sunday, on her way from San Francisco to Alaska, whither she goes on the diffi cult task of breaking up the smug gling along the thousands of miles of Alaskan coast line. The Bear has been ordered north on the easier duty of watching the seal fisheries. Captain Norton, whose critical con dition was mentioned in Sunday's issue, died at the hospital at nine o'clock a. it., on Sunday, the 14lh inst. His wife had arrived from West Medford, Mass., the evening be fore. Capt. Norton was a native of Maine and in the 53rd year of his age. His remains will be taken east for interment The Welcome hears that Messrs. L. A. Brown and JohnBetts have leased the O'Shea property on the corner of First and B streets, Portland, and on the completion of the building, some time next month, will occupy it as a family grocery store. Mr. Bobert Mcintosh, and also Messrs. Brown and McOabe will take office room there, and in the same building Peter Wilhelmwill open a new saloon. John Gates, the mayor of Portland. has called ajpublic meeting in that city this afternoon, to get an expres sion of public opinion condemnatory of the present tendency to lawless ness and damaging agitation in that city and vicinity, particularly with regard to the unlawful action toward the Chinese. In his call Mayor Gate says, "Our citizens are being in sulted and robbed and there is gener al apprehension of outrage." The present cut in freight rates works both ways in affecting prices: eastern goods going down and coast products going up. California cans tomatoes in large quantities and since the cut in rates has sent im mense consignments east The con sequence is that while tomatoes have been retailing at ten cents a can in Astoria they are now quoted at $L25 a dozen, wholesale, in San Francisco. On the other hand eastern goods, coal oil, ham, etc., seem shaky and likely to drop below even the present low quotations. Peter Cooper was a great man, and sometimes gave very sound advice, butTiever anything more sound than the follewing: "In all towns where a newspaper is published every man should advertise in it, even if nothing more than a card stating his name andthe business he is engaged in. It does not only pay the advertiser, but it lets the people at a distance know that you reside in a prosperous com munity of business men. As the seed is sown the fruit recompenses. Nev er pull down your sign while you ex pect o do business." The sixth anniversary of the Asto ria Y. M. G. A. was celebrated at the Congregational church last Sunday evening. Notwithstanding the very disagreeable weather the building was well filled. Bev. A. J. Joslyn de liveredkji interesting address on the origin, purpose and growth of the as sociation, u. a. Hanson gave a sketch of the work of the past year and showed the association to be gaining in strength and favor. The music led by the choir added not a little to the success of the evening. A collection for the benefit of the As toria association was taken up amounting to $22.50. Attention Heeks. A special meeting of Alert Hook and .Ladder Co. will be held at their hall Tuesday, March 16th at eight o'clock. J. O. Bozobth, Pres. F. L Dussab, Secy. TELEGRAPHIC.

It is supposed, says the Standard, that Gladstone's scheme for home rule in Ireland is to establish a single chamber of parlia ment in Dublin. This embodies the principle of the minority being repre sented. Ireland will continue to send members to Westminster, not in proportion to population, but in pro portion to amount of revenue con tributed. Under this scheme there will probably be thirty Irish mem bers in the English parliament The police will be disarmed and will be under the control of the Dublin gov ernment Ireland will have the use of the imperial forces for the security of life and property.

Look, of Portland, is talk ing of engaging in a deep sea fishing enterprise on Puget sound. Question of Pilotage. There is a case at present before Justice Goodell that involves a ques tion which has never been satisfac torily settled, regarding the matter of pilotage over the Columbia bar. The case is one wherein Thos. F. Neill, a pilot from the state pilot boat Qov. Moody, sues the captain of the Clan Ferguson, a side issne in the matter being the arrest of the captain on a charge of being an absconding debt or. Pilot Neill piloted the Clan Fergu son when she came in and according to the Oregon law on that subject is entitled to pilot her out when the vessel goes to sea. This, it is alleged, has been refused him. The matter conies up again on the 20th. In n Nutshell. While it is desirable thnt the coun try be freed from the presence of-the Chinese as quickly as it can be done by legal and proper means, no form of intimidation or violence towards them must be permitted, and they muBt be protected in their persons and rights of property wherever they may choose to reside. To do leas than this is not only dishonorable, but is to lay up an account against ourselves which will be hard to meet when the day of reckoning shall come between China and the United States.

Nearly 14,000, 000 of the aggregate acreage is the property of the state. In 1882, the total exports of lumber amounted in value to 150,000,000 crowns, be sides 12,000,000 crowns' value of wood pulp, a total for the lumber produc ing industry of 127,000,000 crowns, out of a grand total in all commodi ties of 251,000,000 crowns. As the result of a recent agreement' concerning mutual accounts between the three national banks of Scan dinavia, "Nationalbanken" of Copen hagen, "Norges Bank," and the Swedish "Biksbauk," it is now ordin- anty maae unnecessary xo remit; goiu between the three Scandinavian countries. There are probably few countries where gold is used so little as in Scandinavia. The countries have at the same time all the advan tages of a gold standard, and of well protected, convenient notes. The large number of Scandinavian Americans who at present visit their old countries attract a good deal of attention. It is generally recognized that they, to a remarkable degree, have bettered their condition by emi gration, but several newspapers speak at the same time with less respect about their intellectual development. As examples, are mentioned the Norwegian-American dogmatic church quarrels and the social pictures pre sented by Kristofer Janson's stories. Sea ndina via. A SAN FRANCISCO OPINION. San Fbanoisoo, Mar. 13. Under its commercial columns to-day, the Evening Bulletin says: An English order is reported to have been re cently filed for 60,000 cases of Co lumbia river canned salmon, pack of 1886, comprising three favorite brands, at SL10, SL12J and $1.15, free on board in the river.

We submit that this shows a strong condition of the market "With sales of 180.000 to 190,000 cases at this date, light stock in En glish, Australian and eastern mar kets, and with no carry-over stock on this coast, the outlook for the season for canners is an encouraging one. Should the present apparently bright prospects continue, snippers and can ners will do their utmost to put up a large pack.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning a Trim Little Craft. In the year 1880 a man in Portland built a steam propeller about 45 feet long and 10 feet beam, into which he put a good boiler and an upright en gine, sufficient to drive a much larger boat at a good rate of speed. She was named Gold Dust. Tho man bnilt her on speculation.and sometime after she was sold to E. W. Spencer for $4,500. The new owner placed her on the route between Portland and Vancouver, in opposition to Ja cob Kamm's line. Mr. Kamm being a wealthy man, concluded to run tho little intruder off, so ho made a rate on his steamers ot 25 cents for the trip from Portland to "Vancouver and back. This figure soon induced Spencer to withdraw the Gold Bust from that route. At that time, 1881, U. B. Scott & Co. were engaged in building the Fleetwood, to run oppo sition to the O. B. & N. company be tween Portland and Astoria. Spen cer went to Mr. Scott and proposed that the Fleetwood be placed on the route from Portland to tho Cascades, to run in connection with the Gold Bust, which steamer would be placed on the upper river above the Cas cades to The Dalles. The O. B. & N. company was getting five dollars a ticket over that route, and the oppo sition was to charge the same. Scott thought favorably of the proposition, and Spencer had the Gold Bust cut in two and hauled around the Cas cades in sections. Before being placed in tho waters of the upper Co lumbia, she was lengthened thirty feet, which increased her size to her present dimensions; over all, 85 feet; beam, 10 feet; depth of hold, 4 feet 9 inches, after which her 12x12 engines would drive her along about 11 miles per hour. As soon as she was ready for busi ness the opposition lino was started. Concord coaches wero placed at tho Cascades to carry passengers from the Fleetwood, a distanco of four miles to the Gold Bust, above the Cascades. From the start the oppo sition line got a liberal sharo of tho passengers, and owing to the limited expense of running their boats, made money very fast Finally the O. B. & N. company commenced cutting rate3, and after a while fixed the price of tickets from Portland to Tho Dalles at 50 cents. This was just the amount that the staging around the Cascades cost The owners of tho two little steamers showed good pluck for a while. They had agreed to stick together, and that one should not sell out without the consent of the other. The O. B. & N". company i offered Scott S30.000 to draw off tho route, but he asked $50,000, which was refused. The offer of $10,000 was then made to Spencer to with draw the Gold Bust, and the offer was accepted.

The British steamer Oregon, the fastest and finest of the Guion line. was run into by an unknown schoon er at daybreak, Sunday the 14th, off Fire Island, having nearly completed a transatlantic voyage from Liver pool to New York. Tho sea was smooth, the pilot boat and Gorman steamer Fulda were close by, and the entire crew, all the passengers of the Oregon, over 800 in number were transferred from the sinking steamer and landed safely in Now York that evening. The Oregon sank in twelve fathoms of water eight hours after the collision. The schooner that struck her was unknown nnd has en tirely disappeared, She is believed to have been lost with all on board. The most of the steamer's mail and all the baggage were lost.

The act of settlement must be noto rious and significant of a purpose. The mere act of locking the door of a purchased house is not settlement Settlement is a personal act and can date only from the time the party went upon the land. Purchase of prior im provements does not transfer vender's date of settlement. Work by a party who is hired to dig a ditch cannot be claimed as an act of settlement. Credit is not allowed for settlement on land not subject to entry. A subsequent settler who enters unenclosed land without force can ac quire title. Acts of settlement performed while the land is embraced in a homestead entry give a claimant no legal status. After cancellation of the entry the rights of two pre-emptors must be de termined by their settlement and not by their residence; the first bona fide settler takes the land in dispute if fol lowed within a reason ablo time by his residence thereon. A settlement is an appropriation of land, and a subsequent entry is sub ject to the settler's compliance with law. The entry appropriates it against the world, except the prior settler. The assertion of the settler's claim initiates a contest The burden and expense of proof is upon the en tryman. The settler's application to transmute must be received and the en try man given an opportunity to show cause why it should not bo per mitted. A homestead entry is an appropria tion of the land involved, taking ef fect from the date of settlement, and after that date a pre-emptor could acquire no rights to the land except on cancellation of the homestead en try. In case of unsurveyedjlands, where a party notifies a subsequent settler to keep his stock away from the laud covered by the prior party's improve ments, it is sufficient notice that he claims the subdivision upon which his improvements should appear to be when survey was made. A party purchasing from tho Unit ed States a tract on which are aban doned improvements may claim the improvements found upon it at the date of purchase. While a homestead entry remains uncancelled, another entry of any kind cannot be allowed. An entry of record valid on its faco excepts a tract of land from a subse quent law, grant or sale, until a for feiture is declared. A mere occupant of public land has no right thereto. Joint entry by pro-emption and homestead claimants may be allowed. Where two homesteaders settled beforo survey on tho same 40-acre tract, joint cash entry may be made. The practice of allowing parties making a homestead or timber-culture entry credit for the fee and com missions paid by them on a canceled pnor entry is discontmed . A homestead application, erroneous inform, afterward corrected, should .effec t 'from the date when first received at the local land office. The homestead entrv of a tract not legally subject thereto i3 void, and must be regarded as never made. The party may thereafter apply to make a legal entry. A second homestead entry will not be refused on account of careless ness in selecting land upon which a prior settler is actually residing. Land overliowed during the late I mm) o-nA am-K. orrnn mnntl.a lnf t tillable after the 1st of June, is not '"".' OUU tOllJ 0'""H HWil.ilJ, UUV "swamp and overflowed land" within tho meaning of the law. Filings and entries cannot date back of day when reserved land is ordered restored to the public do main. But no mero de faeto reser vation or appropriation can affect the rights of qualified claimants. Homestead claimants on timber lands are liable to prosecution for removing and selling timber before final proof is made. Where the facts show good faith in the settlement and cultivation of the land by the homesteader, the cutting and selling of the timber upon his land need not be reported by special agents.
