ASTORIA. OREGON:
WEDNESDAY..
....APRIL 20. 1S67
A traveling dramatic associa
tion is said to be drawing big
houses in Kansas, pla'ing "Ten
nights in a drug store."
"The Lamb' is the title of a
new paper started in "Wall street,
New York. It is to be hoped that
there is no wool above the edito
rial eye.
Commercial greed is to blame
for some of the recent terrible dis
asters to shipping in the vicinity
of Cape Flattery. Take, for in
stance, the St. Stephen. She was
only 1,392 tons register, and yet
she had a cargo of 5,100 tons of
coal. Such action on the part of
owners of vessels is criminal.
Complaint From a Lady.
Editor Asteeian:
I wish to briefly consider some ef
fects of whisky drinking in our city,
and will endeavor to be practical in
my suggestions or comments. I will
not ask why, over sixty saloons pollute
the moral atmosphere" .of our city,
oflend the nostrils and outrage the
finer sensibilities of the passer by on
the most respectable blocks of our
most fashionable streets; nor will I
call on you to estimate the wretch
edness, sin and poverty which pro
ceed therefrom. As I have said, my
object is not to call your attention to
these more commonly discussed
phases of the liquor question, but to
ask, simply, since the saloon is here
and the instincts of free-born Amer
ican manhood seem to bid it remain
why cannot the drunkards be kept
off the principal streets in the course
of their uncertain wanderings?
"While shopping Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, (to be. very explicit) in
walking the blocks in which are the
bank, the L XL. store. and Beck &1
Sons, your correspondent was obliged
to cross and recross the street three
times in order to avoid five reeling
men for whom the walk was much
too narrow. While pausing a mo
ment to recover my bearings, a friend
passed and informed me that on the
next street one of still two more
drunken men had reeled against her
little boy and then staggered on after
stammering some maudlin excuses.
Were these things not of frequent
occurrence on our streets, this letter
would never have been penned.
Your correspondent is not a timid
person, nor yet one troubled with
nerves; yet, to me, .repeated happen
ings of a like nature surround even
my shopping expeditions with terrors,
which are not their inevitable accom
paniments in other Oregon townB.
When one hears the threatenings
and quarrels of these men, and con
siders that many of them are armed,
it would seem that considerations of
public safety, if not public decency,
would suggest their incarceration in
the city jail. Our city receives a rev
enue from the liquor traffic and
should not hesitate to expend the
money necessary to employ a force of
policemen equal to the work of clear
ing our principal streets, at least, of
these unfortunate victims of drink.

THAT TERELBLE BOBTH COAST.
Tfao
Columbia Eiver Conspicuous by
Its Absence
From the Following Dreadful List of
Marine Disasters.
Last Fall the Sound press started
in with no cause at all to talk about
"the terrible Columbia bar." The
articles in the Tacoma Ledger and
other papers published on the Sound
were sent broadcast through the
east. That they were lies, goes
without saying, but they traveled
fast and far. There was not an atom
of just criticism in a line of all that
appeared there.
Of late the whole pack has been
mum. Good reason. Here are the
facts: During 1886, 269 vessels, ior-
eign, crossed the Columbia bar in
safety. This, out of a total of 269
vessels foreign. That is, all the fleet
that sa'led for or from the Colum
bia last year crossed the bar
safely. There wa3 one vessel that
sailed from New York the Wm: HI
Besse and was lost entering thiB
river. Her cantain undertook to save
a pilot iee, piay smari AiecK uuu
dodge the pilots. He dodged them,
and lost his ship, and served him
right It was about thi3 one that
the Sound press raised all the fuss,
and despite the splendid record of
the Columbia bar, the craft, sail and
steam, daily crossing, the Ledger
resorted to most shameless mendac
ity in big scare heads chronicling
imaginary disasters, and "loss of life"
on the bar.
But "a change came o'er the spirit
of "their dream." The chickens came
home to roost. Here is a little record
of recent losses on the ceast:

Scan it carefully for any note of the
Columbia bar. -There is none, though
its commerce is extensive. But
note "Capo FJattery" and its dismal

And the above is only recent.

such a general revival of trade at W. E.

ing away to their customers of so many

covery for Consumption. Their trade
is simply enormous in this very valu
able article from the fact that it always

Chinese Certificates.
According to accounts in the San
Francisco papers there has been an
over-issue of certificates to departing
Chinese at Port Townsend. Alleged
discrepancy exists between the num
ber of certificates that should be and
the number that really are out. Spe
cial agent Beecber is now making up
a detailed report of all the ertificates
issued to returning Chinese. He has
written to Mr..Hobson, collector of
the port, asking for copies of the
lists of Chinamen who got certificates
from Astoria, and copies of the cer
tiflcates that were not cancelled.
This will be a nice job. Of the 2,400
Chinese who got tickets of privilege
to return here, over 1,800 are still
uncanceled. Of course each one of
these .1,890 is of cotisiderable market
able value in China,- and it is to pre
vent as far as possible fraud or collu
sion, that duplicates of the lists are
to be- furnished. The work will oc
cupy Messrs. Higgins and Ferguson
the rest of the month. "
