The British bark Selkirkshire, 1,192, 54 days from Maryborough, ar rived in yesterday. The Abercorn and British Army sailed. Some heavy salmon contracts have been made. In case the salmon should take a notion to strike it would be pretty rough on some of tjiose who have "sold to deliver." There will be an important meeting of Beaver Lodge No. &r, I. O. O.

There now seems to be an eagerness to "get in," and the presumption is that more will be "in operation next week. ' Eastern and San Francisco papers speak in favorable terms of Mme. Trebelli and M. Musin, who are ad vertised to appear here next Friday evening. The lady is said to be the greatest living contralto; the gentle man the equal of any living violinist. The occasion will doubtless be one of pleasure to the many lovers of mnBic in Astoria. Secretary Hodgkin, of the state .fireman's association, has received word from the chief engineer of the Vancouver fire department, where it is proposed to hold the annual fire man's tournament the third week in June, that he can raise only $233.50 for premiums, when at least $1,000 is needed, , This is not very encourag ing news to companies which, intend ed to take Dart in the tournament Astoria will be there in force and try to win the contests, premiums or no premiums. There is little doubt, says a Salem dispatch to the Oregonian, that the new "supreme- court clerk will be Claude Thayerf son of the Judge. The rumor -that there has been a dif ference between Judges Thayer and Strahan about the naming of the appointee has evidently-had good foundation, as is shown bv the delay in the appointment, when it was gen erally understood that the clerk would be appointed at the first of this term. Judge Strahan has finally given liis consent to the appointment, which will probably be made as soon as Mr. Thayer, Jr., can arrive from Tillamook. The building in which the first newspaper was published at Eugene City was torn down last week, saya the Telegram, to make room for a newbriok block. The old building was erected in 1858, and thp paper published there was known as the Pacific Journal. In the same build ing was afterward published the Peo ple's Press. These newspaper offices were visited by many of the leading men on the Pacific coast Dr. Wat kins, J. W. P. Huntington, David Logan, Col. J. W. Nesmith, Col. E. D. Baker, the "Gray Eagle of Repub licanism" and the finest orator then in America, and many others. With the destruction of this old building one of the most notable landmarks in $he early history of Eugene lias passed away. Girl Wanted. To Learn to Sew: Apply to this offi ce.

The unprecedented movement in aalmon at this period in the year has up to this point received no. check. Transactions during the past week have probably aggregated larger than for any week since the movement bo cnn. Orders for carload lots exhibit a very noticeable inoroase. English buyers have also bid $1.30 per dozen t o. b. for round lota of Columbia river salmon, which is equivalent to $1.32 domestic. Ono lot of 5.000 cases was placed at this price. It is intimated that stockB in the hands of the two principal distributors of this product have been so reduced that they will soon be in the market as buyers, and this causes canners to hold for extreme prices. i-T?ransactions for the week aggre gate about as follews: Cases.

This in dollars aggre gates about $3V000,000 of a produot, not one case of which has been packed up to this date. Nothing could bet ter illustrate tho condition of stocks throughout the world, or the desira bility of salmon as a food product. Of the sales to date, the distribution approximates as follews: Cases. Great Britain .810,000 Cnited States 240,000 Canada 40,000 Australia 30,000 Total 020,000 This practically places this quauti ty of the pack in the hands of the jobbing trade of the salmon consum ing countries. These contracts are understood to be for delivery if packed, and the actual deliveries on the coutracts will no doubt vary some from the figures given. Nevertheless, transactions illustrato the condition of the market as well as if deliveries were niado on the day of purchase. S. ''. Grocer and Country Mer chant, ?. The amount of business done in salmon for future delivery this sea son is very heavy aud over 400,000 cases Pacific coast fish have been contracted for. Besides this contracts have changed hands several times at a profit with each transfer and one firm is credited with having handled on paper over 380,000 cases thus fnr this season.

PntbUltie.s. "In tho near futnro you will see a strife between the Northern, Central and Southern Pacific railroads for the northwestern trade, and I think Huntington's systems will carry off tho chicken pie,'' Baid a well posted railroad man to a News reporter yes terday. "Possession of the Oregon & California railroad will not satisfy the Southern Pacific. I am told it will build from here to Vancouver, span ning the Columbia with a bridge, which is practicable. From thence it will continue on to Olympia, Steila coom, and other places, paralleling the Northern Pacific and capture the trade of Lewis river and Cowlitz river and other rich agricultural sections. The Northern Pacific played a big piece of nonsense w.hen it built its hue down the Columbia to Kalama. It should have made for the Sound via Vancouver. Now the chances are it will have a competing line. Then again, the Southern Pacific may build from Forest Grove to Astoria, via the Nehalem valley, which Ben Holladay originally intended to do, and for which a land grant was given. This line would prove n paying one. As soon as the stage riding on tho Oregon & California is reduced to five or six hours, which will be in about six weeks, there will be a good pas senger movement." Ncics, 23.
