They do say tlfat the latest notion
among the young ladies is a "hair al
bum" gentlemen's hair. Young
men are besought for a lock of hair,
and the request is such a flattering
one that they are only too happy to
comply when tho right damsels
apply. The contribution is tied with
a blue, ribbon and goes into the "hair
album" along with the hair of a
crowd of other fellows. Over it will
be written the name, age, color of
eyes, date of receiving the memento,
and general remarks as to personal
appearance, etc., which may or may
not be complimentary, as- tho album
is never to bo seen by any other than
feminine eyes. The young ladies are
as proud of their trophies as the In
dian warrior is of the scalp he takes.

TOWAGE ANCPILOTAGE.
Different ArriBRtaiemt ok the ColembU Bar.
The pilot schooner C. G. White
went to sea yesterday afternoon, and
thus begins a different system of
pilotage and towage on the Columbia
river bar.
As matters now stand there are
two pilot sohooners, the Goo. Moody,
pilot boat No. One, owned by the
state and manned by tho Oregon bar
pilots, seven in number, as follews:
Thos. Doig, J. E. Campbell, Geo. W.
Wood, H. A. Matthews,' T. J. Powers,
Cyrus Harnman and T. Jr. Neil.
The pilot schooner C. G. White
pilot boat No. Two, owned and
manned by the Washington territory
bar pilots, seven in number, as fol fel fol
eows: D. J. McVicar, Chas. Gunder
son, Jos. Harriman, M. D. Staples,
Chas. Johnson, Loring Staples, A.
Malcolm.
Thos. Latham, connected with the
Gen. Miles, also has a branch. With
that exception, these two pilot
schooners carry all tho bar pilots,
they depending entirely upon their
own efforts and being in every way
separate from the tugs.
The towage system is also materi
ally altered. Up to October, 1882,
Capt Geo. Flavel and his partner,
Capt A. M Simpson, o! San Francis
co, owned and operated the tugser
vice on the bar. At the date men
tioned, the Portland Tugboat Co.
bought the Pioneer in Philadelphia
and put her into service, she costing
$54,000 at the dock in this city. At
their first meeting six months after
wards, tho stockholders found that
they had lost so far S14,000. Ar
rangements were then made with
Capt. Flavel and issues were pooled
till last spring, when a couple of
months' losses made the Portland
company sell the Pioneer to Puget
Sound parties for S22.000.
J. N. Knowles, of San Francisco,
and Goodall, Perkins & Co., of San
Francisco Bent up the Donald, tho
Wizard and the Escort, and for
awhile all hands lost money.
Recently a new arrangement was
made, Capt-Flavel selling his inter
est to Capt. Simpson, and now the
tugboats on the Columbia river bar,
formerly owned by the parties who
have been mentioned, are owned sole
ly in San Fraucisco, to which place
the resultant profits will go. Capt
Flavel goes to San Francisco to-day
to complete the transfer.
The Wizard is laid up, the Astoria
is in San Francisco refitting and will
not be in service for a month yet.
The Donald is now tho only tug boat
on the bar, and this winter she and
tho Astoria will- do the bar towing,
with the probable addition of the
Escort later on.
The Donald is owned by J. N.
Knowles & Co., the Wizard by Good
all, Perkins & Co., the Astoria by A.
M. Simpson, all of San Francisco.
The tugs have iBsued no schedule
of prices for the season beginning
last Thursday.
The pilotage rates are tho same
with both the Oregon and Washing
ton pilots, $3 a foot up to twelve
feet draught; over that, $10 a foot

A Card of Thanks.
Editor Daily Asteriax:
I desire, on behalf of all those in
terested, to take ibis means of tend
ing our heartfelt thanks to all those
kind neighbors and friends who as
sisted in preventing tho terrible fire
of last evening from reaching my
father's dwelling house. And espe
cially do we feel grateful and under
lasting obligations to the gallant fire
men from Astoria, whose timely ar
rival and assistance directed by their
live and energetic chief, Worsley,
saved our property from destruction.
When one sees such work as was
done by those brave men last evening,
especially after a long and toilsome
haul of their fire apparatus for the
distauce of a mile and a half, it must
forever ope"n urrin his heart a warm
place for every man bearing the name
of fireman. Words of thanks in such
a case seem a mere nothing.
That these noble fellows may re
ceive the reward that- they have
earned and so richly deserve is the
fervent wish of their friends,
War. B. Adair,
