U S?i(S torfan. ASTO JtlA, OKEGON: THURSDAY .-OCTOBER 27. 1887 Gov. SiviSEroRD, of Alaska, in his annual report, estimates the territo rial expenses for the past year at 8178,000. Against the foregoing total there is an annual revenue to the United States treasury from the seal islands estimated at $318,000, and cus toms receipts, sale of mining lauds aud fines paid into the treasury, $22, 500, making a total net gain for the year to the government through the acquisition of Alaska of $142,000. Senator Charles B. Farwell, of Illinois, and his partners, his brother and Abner Taylor, of Chicago, will make from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 in their Texas land speculation. It is said that the state of Texas has given to the Farwell company 3,000, 000 acres of the land in Texas. The land to-day is worth $3 an acre, and the state buildings will probably not cost more than $1,000,000. The land is all fenced in. Seventy-five thou sand cattle are now on it and more are to follow. So it is ' that Christian soldier, " Gen. O ! Oh ! ! Howard, who started the attempt to remove the troops from Fort Cauby. Senator Dolph seems to be able to call a halt on this impor tant matier. In place of abandoning the post, its sphere of usefulness as an artillery garrison should be in creased. This should not be allowed to go by default Senator Dolph can be greatly aided in this regard by proper representation of the .matter duly made. Our Astoria chamber of commerce can materially assist in this matter. The cost of building new barracks at the Presidio for the accommodation of the Fort Cauby batteries, says the Oregon ian, would certainly be as great as that of repairing the old quar ters at Canby. Senator Dolph has succeeded in staying the proceeding for the present at least, and will doubtless be able to defeat the recom mendation of the division com mander. His position as chairman of the senate committee on fortifications and coast defenpes is a most fortunate one in this emergency, sinco it will give special weight to his efforts. There is some mystery attending the failure of the government to re lease the sealers in Alaska, which will perhaps not be explained until con gress shall call for the papers in the case. Attorney-general Garland, in reply to the question why the sealers were not released on the order sent on January 26th last, stated that it was not known until long afterwards that they were not released, and that in formation to that effect first came to the government from the British min ister. The explanation furnished at the attorney-general's office is that the officers in Sitka claim that they believe the order for their release was a hoax and simply did not obey it But several months elapsed before our govern ment seems to have been informed that the law officers in Alaska look upon orders from the department of justice in such . a humorous way. The order of January 20th. was telegraphed to Port Town- send and from there was sent by steamer. It was sent in the usual way. The second order for the re lease was not sent until October 12th, and it was sent in the same way. If it reached Port Townsend in time for the steamer it will be forwarded direct to Sitka RcinsiLs From Commissioner Thompson. Slate fish commissioner E. P. Thompson was in the city yesterday. saj s the News of the 2Gth. He said: "We are doing pretty well at the fish natcuery on tbo Clackamas. Ave have about 1,000,000 eggs in the hatchery and are taking from 8,000 to 50,000 a day. After the female saimon had been relieved of their eggs, we marked them by cutting off the back fin. But we now shape the top Gn into a letter U." Speaking of the forthcoming ex penditure of $10,000 appropriated by congress for a fish hatchery in this state, and the fact that both the gov ernment and the state have selected the same spot for the hatcheries, he said: We do not want to com bine with the government It is not advisable. If we build the hatch ery the government wi!l want to run it, and vice versa. If the government secures control it will want to dis tribute our fish among other states. which is not acceptable to us. The best thing for the government to do is to locate its hatchery on the Des Chutes river, where there is a great ueai oi saimon. we get the April and July salmon in the Clackamas. they get the May and June fish. We think there ought to be two hatcheries, beside the one built at the Clackamas, the government one at Des Uhute3 and one in Washinc- ton territory at some point along the uiiumuiu, say ai uas iroini.

A Board of Conservators to bo Asked For. The conservation aud protection of harbors in the United States is a sub ject that will be permanently brought before congress at the coming session. For many years past the efforts of the superintendents of the coast survey have been directed towards the intro duction of a bill for the pnrpose of authorizing the appointment of a board of commissioners whose pro posed duties are to take charge of all harbors and navigable waters. Such a body exists in European countries, and their province lies especially in protecting the interests of shipping at the sea and other ports against the encroachments of private individuals upon the water space that belongs to the nation. On the Pacific coast there are the harbors of San Francisco, San Diego and the Columbia river, and the net work of havens on Puget sound. The Atlantic side has many seaports lin ing its 3,000 miles of coast, while on the Pacific slope, with 3,300 miles of sea-girt territory, the only harbors are those before mentioned. Under the present state of the law there is no federal enactment to prevent un scrupulous individuals from ex tending pile3 and wharves into the waters of the bays and rivers foe their own personal benefit. San Francisco has a state harbor commission controlling its water front, but outside of its jurisdiction the supervisors of the counties bor dering on the bay may grant any per son a franchise to build wharves without considering the detriment that may ensue to the future condi tion of the port. At San Diego pri vate individuals have constructed wharves in such a manner that within a few years they will prove an obsta cle to the navigation of the port. The Columbia river is receiving the attention of the war department en gineers, and is gradually being im proved, but the other harbors on the Pacific coast are sadly neglected. Unless congress gives power to some controlling body to preveut en croachments the result will be that in a few years the condition of the harbors will be such that to dredge and maintain their efficiency will re quire the expenditure of vast sums of money. It is understood that congressman Morrow will push the matter at the coming session of congress. 8. F. Chronme, 23. Is Consumption Incurable? Read the follewing: Mr. C.

"Washington, Oct. 2o. Sen- or Dolph, of Oregon, to-day filed a r test in the war department ngnu.sl the removal of the garrison from 1' irt Canby, and interviewed secretary Ei dicott on the subject. He based his appeal upon the fact that it the national government was required to maintaiu its r.uthouty anywhere iu Oregon or Washington territory, it was at the mouth of the Columbia river, where, during the fishing season, there is a large Hunt ing population, upon which the pres ence of troops would hae a benefi cial and moral effect. The policy of the war department to consolidate the troops at the inniu military stations throughout the country to save expense and give the officers and men opportunities for training that cannot bo obtained at an isolated station like Fort Canby. Secretary Endicolt has promised to take senator Dolph's plea into consid eration, and the determination of the department will not be announced for the present. GEK. HOWARD'S VOTXG Last Augmt Gen. Howard, rom mauding the Division of the Pacific, recommended the removal of troops from Fort Canby to the Presidio at San Francisco. The reasons givm for this order were that the buildings for the accomodation of troops at Fort Canby were ont of repair; that a large sum would be required to put up new buildings or to reconstruct the old ones, and that means of com munication between the fort and As toria were difficult and expensive. On September 12 Gen. Sheridan ap proved Gen. Howard's recommenda tions, and on September 28 the acting secretary of war approved the request and asked that estimates be made to provide additional barracks at the Presidio of Son Francisco for the ac commodation of the troops from Fort Canby.
