The Astorian guarantees to its adver tisers the largest circulation ot anynewspa per published on the Columbia river. The Portland evening Telegram saya that Jacob Kamm has "a laconic smile." Among the candidates for the As toria postoffice are mentioned John Hahn. C. W. Shively and Wn. Chance. Attention is directed to Staver & Walker's advt. They carry a large stock to select from and are square men to deal with. In the last hours of his presiden tial term Cleveland signed the bill granting the Astoria & South Coast Kailway Co., the right to bridge Young's bay. Windmills are among the Gray's harbor and Shoalwater bay freight on the Main street wharf. It begins to look as though irrigation might be needed in this country. Capt. Henderson and his crew are busy fitting up the llosie Olsen and will shortly start on a deep sea fish ing cruise in the north Pacific hali but grounds off Cape Flattery. Messrs. Ed Taylor, J. H. 1). Gray, W. W. Parker and Allen Noyes are the names most prominently men tioned with tho collectorship of this port, which office will be vacant nest January. Capt. Boynton arrives this morn ing. He is the boss swimmer and hns made more miles in the water than any other man living. If he has luck! be will tako some seals back east with him. Allen Weir, a Port Townsend news paper man, is after the custom house there. This is Weir's first mistake. No newspaper man should want or take nny office that is if he expects to befa newspaper man. The Lurline will leave here for Portland carrying freight and pas sengers at seven o'clock every morn ing except Sundays, aud will leave Portland for here every evening ex cept Satnrday, at 8 o'clock. And now it appears that all this racket about Malieota and Matateesa, the Samoan kings, is over a trifle of salary. One king has been doing'the reigning for S20 a month, and the other king offered to do it for 818. Eighteen dollars is enough to pay a king. Considerable is said abont the amount of advertising in the Tacoma paper. The News is an eight column paper. The Astorian seven columns, yet, take out the real estate ads. and there are more advertisements, pro portionately, in The Astokias than there are in the News. Another strike about which we don't hear much down here is one wherein a whole community have stricken. East Portland has de clared war upon tho Stark Street Ferry Co., and the Morrison Street Bridge Co., in increasing tho rates of ferriage and has resolved to boycott both bridge companies. The Aberdeen Herald heara that the steamer Alliancevitt.be taken off her route for repairs in about three weeks. She will have Steeple's com pound engines put in, thus giving her a great deal more power, and will have the entire spar deck decked over. While she is being repaired the Miles will run in her stead. Owing to the irregularity of the mails not allowing the Astoria and South Coast Riilway company to for ward promptly the specifications for railroad ties into the hands of in tending bidders, who have -applied for them, as will be seen elsewhere, the time for receiving bids has been extended by chief engineer Thielsen to March 18th, at 12 m. Mr. A. Scherneckau ot The Dalles, who has been visiting in this city for the last two weeks, has decided to make Astoria his home andyesterdav bought, through J. H. Mansell, lots 10 and 11 in block 115 Shiveley's ad dition, for the sum of S4.200. These are two of the finest residence lots in the city, and will no doubt be very valuable in the near future. Harrison's secretary of agricnlture, "Jerry Busk" is a good example of what a man can mount to. He used to drive mules on a canal and had as companion on the tow path another barefooted boy, Jas. A. Gar field. Busk afterwards drove stage, then was sheriff, member of the legis lature, volunteer in the army, con gressman, governor ot Wisconsin, and may be heard from yet. The little steamer Baranoff is the t oumuiui mo aiasKo salmon fleet She is for the Baranoff Pack ing Co. and will shortly steam away for the Baranoff islands in Alaska wa ters. If some nnn will rat nn nam map of Alaska, showing all the salm on streams ana tne location of the canneries he would be able to sell a few copies down this way, and would fill a recently felt want. The man that Astoria is most in terested in of all who comprise Presi dent Harrison's cabinet, is John Wanamaker, of -Philadelphia. He has advertised in The Astobian and has always paid his bills promptly. He'is now postmaster general, and if he will fix up our demoralized Pacific coast mail service and give us a fair show with the rest of the nation, we will all be mightily obliged to him. George "W. Jackson, of Spangle, considers himself one of the oldest school-teachers and music-teachers on the Pacific Coast. He taught his first school in Oregon in 1S15, when the entire country was a vast stretch of unexplored territory from the Gulf of Mexico to the British possessions. Mr. Jackson has constantly been en gaged in the work of teaching ever since, and is now upward of 70 years old. Captain E. Hoyt, ot .the Master's ana mots' association,-says the Ore gonixin, yesterday-telegraphed to the Mississippi. and OhioBiver Pilots' Society -to learn what wages captains and other officers received there. He received the following reply: Cap tains ana pilots on barge line, S2U0; captains, anchor line, S150; pilots, 8125; first engineers, 8110; second en gineers, 890; mates of either line 8100 permonth. There was a fire alarm at 2:U yes terday afternoon. Sometime ago the wires of the telephone,-fire alarm and electric light got mixed, and two an nunciatorboxes,8and9,wereburned; yebterday the fire alarm wire was being fixed and to test it an alarm Was turned in from box 4; a bystander heard the alarm and hastily rang the big bell, hence the alarm, which was needless. The system will ba working all right as soon as the annunciators are pat in proper trim. President Oakes of the Northern Pacific railway makes it public that arrangements have been consummat ed with the Union Pacific, whereby the latter is to obtain an entrance to the Paget Sound country over tho Northern Pacific tracks from Port land. As the Northern and Union Pacific own or control all but seven miles of tho road, between Tacoma and Seattle, and it is rumored they have obtained control of this, known as tne orpnan road, the entrance to Seattle is assured. The rainfall during February on the Pacific coast was much below the normal, ranging from about seven inches in the vicinity of Puget sound to about one inch in the extreme southern part of California. At all stations in the northern part of Ore gon and Washington territory the rainfall wa3 less than tor any Febru ary since the commencement of ob serrations. The rainfall, though light, was well distributed, both as regards the territory covered and in time, tuns securing the maximum benefit to growing crops. Says a weather ebserver: "When youwish to know what the weather is going to be, go oat and select the smallest cloud you see. Keep your eye on it, and, if it decreases and dis appears it shows a state of the air that is sure to be followed by fine weather; bnt if it increases, take your overcoat with you if you are going away from home, for falling weather is not far off." The reason is this: When the air is becoming charged with electricity you will see every cloud attracting all lesser ones toward it until it gathers into a shower, and, on the contrary, when the fluid is passing off or diffusing itself, then a large'cloud will bo seen breaking into piedes and dissolving. Mrs. Nancy Clark Marshall Winkle Smith Frisbee McGregor Bawlins, a rich and somewhat masculine wom an, who owns valuable timber land in western Oregon, has lately reached the extreme Scriptural limit of 'mar rying chronicled of her sex by taking nnto herself her seventh husband. Sueweut.to San Francisco over the plains in 1849, and the uncertainties of border life have enabled her to gratify her taste for marital change without resort to divorce. Every one of her husbands -was dead before another took his place. One was lost in a "mountain snowstorm, another was killed by Indian?, and. a bucking horse assisted another out of the world. Husband seven is twenty. eight years old. He was raised bv the much widowed-woman and calls her "Mamma." Says a Port Townsend dispatch: The American ship General MnClel Ian, Captain "Morine, from Port Blakely forTJnenos Ayres, after lay ing in this harbor for twenty days, expending about $3,000 in useless endeavor to obtain a crew, returned from sea last night after being out one week, leaking very badly. The tug Blakely picked the ship up in tow near Pillow point, with her star board chain plater under seas, and brought her into port. The captain, in an insolent and overbearing man ner, refused to allow any one to go on board or even converse with the crew. A member of '.the latter party was brutally beaten before the vessel left this harbor, and many ot the crew taken aboard paralyzed drank. The ship will have to discharge her cargo for repairs. Notice to Mariners. Notice is hereby given that the Columbia river bar buoy and the Clatsop spit buoy, red No. 6, have gone adrift They will be replaced as early as practicable. By order of the light-house board. U. Sedbee, Inspector l3th light house district, i I. O. O. F. Members of Beaver Lodge are re- nuested to meet at their Lodce room on the evening of March 14th, 18S9, to de cide upon the proper manner of cele brating the 67th anniversary ofouror- aer, on April smu. By order N.G. CltaCryforPitclBr'sCastoria BOTH SIDES HOLD OUT. The Telephone Is Carrying The Mail. Cnnlrnrv In nil renorts and to posi tive statements made yesterday the Telephone on her arrival, yestera ay afternoon unloaded sundry sacks of mail, greatly to the relief of Astor ians in general, who are badly shut out when no mail arrives and the telegraph line is out of order. As to the strike but little remains new to be said, everything being in statu quo ante bellnm. The O. B. & N. Co., hasn't a steam boat man in its employ on the river. The strikers and the company both stand firm. Superintendent Johnson is reported as saying that the "strike was money in the pocket for the com pany, as there are no steamDoai em ployes to pay, no repairs to make, and no fuel to be provided for the running boats," which is "unlikely, as if that be the case the company would keep right on being "money in pocket," and not do any work at all at any time. ON THE SOUND. ' Tacoma, Mar. 6. Telegraphic "in structions were this evening received from Omaha bv cantain Clancy, port captain of the O. K. & N. instructing him that the order reducing wages was rescinded. Captain Clancy thereupon informed all the crewd at hand and asked them to go to work, but they decline till they have had an opportunity to present their claims for an advance. The mates and as sistant engineers aro especially de termined to insist on an advance. The former have practically to work day and night on some runs, and must possess good certificates, yet have only been paid $60 per month. The opposition steamers to-day were obliged to decline more than half the business offered, and many made ex tra trip3. Pokt Townsend, Mar. G. The O. B. & N. Co. is snbject to a fine by the British authorities for not carrying the mail from here to Victoria. Travel and trade on the lower Sound is totally paralyzed. Seattle, w. T. Marcti b. The George E. Starr arrived here at 3 o'clock this morning, and was tied up to the dock, all hands joining the strikers. The Olympian arrived at 1 o'clock from Victoria. The officers and crew said that as soon as Tacoma was reached they intended to tie tho Olympian up and join the strikers. The Olympian left for Tacoma this evening. A dispatch was received this evening from manager Holcomb, telling the men to resume work at old rates. On this tho crew of the QeorgeE. Starr returned to work, and that steamer left for Whatcom at 930. Under the circumstances the O. B. & N. Co., is fortunate in being able to have the mail delivered on the Telephone and the Telephone is do ing an unexpected stroke of business, the passenger traffic being in itself a handsome revenue. It i3 believed that even Bhonld the orders regarding the river divison be rescinded that the employes will hold ont for the increase asked. The company have telegraphed to engineers here asking them to come to Portland and run down here. but. so far as learned the engineers thus re quested have refused. The Telegram says: "If the company could get enonch men to run a mail boat so that the government contract could be kept up, the boats would probably be per mitted to lie at the docks where thpv are now tied." The company hopes to bo able to start the Bonita down this morning, but it is not probable. There was an unconfirmed rumor that the locomotive engineers in the employ of the O. B. & N. Co., bad also struck. This is very unlikely. The locomotive engineers have noth ing in common with the steamboat engineers. Besides it they were to strike their places could be promptly filled from the east. It is easy enough to get a locomotive engineer, but it is quiet a different matter to get an ex perienced river pilot, captain or steamboat engineer. Who Is Yonr Best Fiieml? Your stomach of course.

The seaUngschooner .Bessie Rutter, at Hume's dock, is receiving her out fit, and being put in readiness to plough the northern main in search of seals. Capt. Olsen expects to get away about the 20th inst. Seals frequent the Behring sea and abound only on the two islands of St. George and St. Paul, which are situ ated about the middle of that Bea. On these two islands myriads of seals congregate, year after year, and bring forth their young. It has been esti mated that the number of seals that frequented these islands in 1888 num bered b,HJ,UW. Tho number killed including the 100,000 which the Alaska Commercial comDanv is ner- mitted by its charter to slaughter, is estimatea to nave oeen last year 140, 000, which is very much under the natural inorease. This small percentage has no effect upon the numbers, which are said to be increasing yearly. The seal hun ters believe that twice the number could be killed without decreasing the present herds. In killing seals the hunter never approaches nearer than sixty miles of their breeding places. They are Bhot from the ves sel as they sleepupon the water. The hunters claim that the statement made that a large majority of the seals that are shot are lost, is willful falsehood. An old Beal-hunter states that not more than one out of a hundred could get away that are wounded. PERSONAL MENTION. L. T. Barin is in Washington, look ing after collectorship possibilities. .
