ASTORIA, OREGON:
KHIDAY ..MAIIC1I 20. 1830
The mayor of Tacoma acts as chief
of police for that burg.
It is said that Chinamen are now
carried from Portland to here for
fifty cents apiece.
The Oregon is due this morning
with a very large freight and passen
ger list. The Columbia sails.
Geo. Shiel is the Portland agent
and "SVilson & Fisher the Astoria
agents for the Salem patent roller
flour.
The lost Beda was not quite three
years old. It is believed that her los3
was primarily due to her being over
loaded on her last voyage from this
port.
The Queen of the Pacific was re
cently detained at "Victoria twenty
four hours on account of a rule at
that port not to clear any vessel on
Sunday.
It is said that the emigrants on the
inooming Oregon, are mostly from
Kansas and Texas, and are drawn
thither by the twenty-three dollar
emigrant rate from Kansas City to
Portland.
The house of N. L. Berg, Kiverside,
was completely destroyed by fire last
Sunday morning. He bad just fin
ished a new residence which is ready
for occupancy and which fortunately
escaped, though all his personal ef
fects and furniture were in the old
house which was burned.
A good man former Astorians are
returning. No matter how far they
go or how long they stay, folks who
have HVed here nearly always come
back after many devious wanderings.
In two or three instances lately, fat
to d calves have been forthcoming
over the prodigal's return.
A dirty fight is being made against
the San Francisco Bulletin by a lot
of envious scabs, who have the sting
of a wasp without that insect's indus
try. The Bulletin will live and flour
ish when itsassailers shall have gone,
leaving bad debts behind them, mute
monuments of their dishonesty.
'What a beautiful light!" is the
common exclamation on seeing the
electric lights glowing in the streets,
their brilliancy vying with Venus in
the sky. They are pronounced far
superior in brilliancy and steadiness
to the Portland street lights, or any
other with which Astorians are ac
quainted. Official information is received to
the effect that the plans and specifi
cations for the hospital to be built
at Fort Canby have been approved.
Tho bids for building the hospital
will be opened by Lieut. L. A. Chani
berliu, 1st artillery, A. A. Q. M., at
the fort on the 30th inst, and from
whom all needful information can be
obtained.
This ought to be a good, season for
buiding in Asteria: lumber is aston
ishingly low; indeed, so cheap that it
is hardly possible for it to remain at
that figure. Labor, too, is cheaper
than in former years. There are
many beautiful building sites that
could be covered by comfortable
dwellings at a far less proportionate
cost than in the past.
Justice Goodell has given a decis
ion in the case wherein Pilot Neill
sued the captain of tho Clan Fergu
son for pilotage. He had piloted tho
vessel in and it is alleged was refused
when ho reported for service to pilot
the vessel out when she was ready
for sea. The justice awarded him
S80.50, being half pilotage, in accord
ance with the state statute relating
to that matter. It is understood that
the case will be appealed.

Washington, Mar. 25. Secretary
Mauning's condition, while believed
to be a little improved, is still con

shall insist on his going to Florida, as
ho needs rest.
FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ASTORIA.
About three years ago a project
was discussed regarding the estab
lishment of a National bank in this
city. It was considered as having
been organized at one time but the
plan did not mature.
It is now definitely decided that
the First National Bank of Astoria
will shortly begin business in this
city, the papers having been drawn
up yesterday afternoon.
Tho officers of the new organiza
tion are as follews: president, Geo.
Flavel; vice-president, Geo. C. Flavel;
secretary, S. S. Gorden: board of di
rectors, "Geo. Flavel, Geo. C. Flavel.
Wm. H. Ladd, C. E. Ladd, Jacob
Kamm, Jno. A. Devlin and S. S. Gor
don. The capital stock is $50,000 all
paid up. r
It is the intention to begin opera
tions as soon as suitable accommoda
tions can be secured. It is thought
probable that a handsome and com
modious structure will bo bnilt by
CapL Flavel on the lot southeast cor
ner Main and Chenamus street, in
which the bank will ultimately find
a permanent location.
A DECISION FKOX JUDGK IB1DY.
For some time a case has been be
fore Judge Deady in the United
States district court, which has ex
cited considerable interest as it is
deemed a test case in a matter that
has given rise to considerable dis
cussion. It is a case wherein an Oregon pilot
had piloted in the Abercom and a
Washington territory pilot piloted the
same vessel out to the exclusion of the
Oregon pilot, who had tendered his
services, but whose services were re
fused, whereupon he brought suit
against the vessel, the. master of
which gave bonds and proceeded to
sea.
Judge Deady yesterday decided in
favor of the vessel, the decision be
ing to the effect that Oregon and
Washington territory have joint jur
isdiction in the matter of pilotage on
the Columbia river bar.

A Comparison of Oar "Hla Prices'' With
Tlioe of Other Places of the
Same Size.
When the Independent was started
The Astobian raised its advertising
rates. That is to say that as soon as
the Independent was in existence it
cost more to advertise in this paper
than it did before that journal ap
peared. The Astobian is probably the only
newspaper in the United States that
would have dared to raise its rates in
the face of opposition. It was done
in the judgment of its proprietors
purely as a matter of business.
When the Independent died Thx As
tobian reduced its advertising rates
to the old figure. This was also done
as a matter of business.
In both cases the result sustained
our judgment. Besults usually speak
for themselves. The above is a sort
of preface to a few remarks occa
sioned by the receipt of a book from
a newspaper advertising bureau en
titled "The best list of local newspa
pers," and containing a selected list
of newspapers of the many thousands
printed in the Union as being the
best for business men to advertise in
as a matter of business. The list is
not a large one; of course The Asto
bian appears prominent on the list.
In every case ihe population of the
place where the paper is published
and the price charged by the news
paper for one inch space is given.
Upon looking over this list we find
one singular fact evident: that The
Astobian charges less than almost
any newspaper on the list, of the same
class. To make our meaning clearer
we will give a partial summary of tho
newspapers and prices they charge
for one inch space per month in their
advertising columns.
The list inoludes only daily news
papers published in towns or cities
containing 6,000 people or less. The
reason we select those is because As.
toria is set down as having a popula
tion of 6,000, and fairness suggests
that no larger place be included than
the one taken as a standard of com
parison. The figures on the left show what
the population of the place is. The
figures on the right show what the
daily newspaper published in eaoh
place charges for an inch of space in
its columns. The showing is interest
ing and may be instructive:

xvow wo ask our business men, our
enterprising citizens who believe in
justice, fairness and all that, to read
this list It is authentic, accurate,
carefully compiled, by some of the
sharpest and shrewdest of heads in
New York. "We publish it as suffi
cient answer to those who sometimes
say, yOh, yes, Td lie to advertise in
your paper, but, really, you know,
your prices are" so high." Now where
does the "high" come iu. Doesn't
the above show as plain as truthful
figures can show that our advertising
rates are the lowest ou that list? and
the list is by no means exhausted.
We -publish a few from each state as
a sample, aad can duplicate the list
and make the sam9 showing without
exhausting it
This is a sort of "give away1' on the
enterprising merchants who would
like to advertise if our figurea wer
not "so high," but it is about as ef
fective a form of showing how much
there is in their argument'as one can
devise.
The fact is that there are a good
many who don't know what advertis
ing is werth: if they were asked $10,
they'd want it for $8: if they were
asked 25 cents, they'd want to know
jif yon wouldut take fifteen cents.
All they know is they d like to get it
u little cheaper and thus make "a good
bargain." beat some one and get the
best of him is the dicker.
If Astoria, ever attaias the proud
position that God and nature intend
ed it should have, it will not bo by
her citizens refusing to yield a sub
sistence or a reason for existence to
the institution that has talked for
the place first, last and all the time.
As a matter of fact it costs us in
this office a higher price for type, pa
per, ink, setting of type, telegrams
(the few we can afford to take) than
it does any one of the newspapers
published above. They charge all
the way from $3 to S7 for what we
charge $1 50 and in most cases they
get twice as much advertising at their
rates, as we do at onra.
As. a further matter of fact, if it
were not for patient, steady toil, day
and night on the part of the writer
and his partner in the office we
couldn't keep this daily paper going
in anything like a satisfactory manner.
It isn't often we talk of our own af
fairs for it is not very good taste,
but after men have toiled together
for years working sixteen hours a
day for the privilege of living, they
don't like to be told their prices are
"high" when they know and every
other newspaper man knows that our
prices are "way down."
Now, totally ignoring all mention
of public spirit, of mutual prosperity,
of a common desire to sustain our
institutions and go ahead, but purely
as a matter of business, what do you
think of the above figures?
SECRETARY EXBICOTTS ARXT BUTLERS.
When Secretary Endicott came to
Washington to represent the mug
wump element in the cabinet he
hired the residence of ex-Senator
Pendleton on Sixth street. As soon
as the society season opened the wife
and daughter of ths secretary of war
began to give receptions every week,
and, in imitation of the royal courts
of Europe, Mrs. Endicott had an offi
cer of the army in full uniform to
stand at her elbow and announce the
names of the guests. This was some
thing entirely now. The snobs liked
it, for it sounded quite large to have
a handsome young officer, all covered
with gold lace, cry out the names of
the guests as they entered the door.
There was a savor of Jeffersonian
simplicity about it, too, that was
grateful to Democratic eyes. But the
officers who were selected for this
duty were awfully bored. They
couldn't refuse and they couldn't re
monstrate, for the secretary of war is
an autocrat and rather than be sent
out to Arizona they submitted to
what was a humiliation, and played
the lackey at the satin train of the
lady from Salem. Lieut. Duval of
the artillery was the first man select
ed for the duty, and he is quite used
to it, as he performs a similar service
for Miss Cleveland when she receives.
The next week Col. Volkmar, who
used to be in Chicago, on Sheridan's
staff, was selected, and he went
through the ordeal like a brave sol
dier.c&rhe other officers on duty at
the war department guyed Duval and
Volkmar a good deal, but were ad
vised to keep quiet, as it might be
their turn next, but the secretary has
abandoned the practice and the offi
cers breathe freely again. The names
of the callers are now announced by
a negro butler.

J. H. Johnson is one of our most

and it was not supposed he had an

on Monday night somebody dnmped
it overboard. It was recovered next
morning among the spiling and
breakers. Perpetrators of such ac
tions will be attended to if caught.
