The schooner Margaret is en route from ban iraucisco. olio takes cau nery supplies for Foard & Stokes' Alaska cannery. The naval commission, which have for some weeks been enjoying the hospitality of tho Sound, have gone to Portland, and will shortly be down mis way. Where is the next firemen's asso ciation and tournament to bo held? Tacoma is making a bid, and, it is said, will guarantee 83,000 in cash prizes for the races. Charley Thomes has chartered the bark Coryphene, for the Hume Pack ing company and will take from San Francisco 85 Chinese and 18 white men to their Alasua cannery. Lieutenant Howard, United States navy, has obtained a year's leave of aD3ence and organized a stock com pany in New Haven, Conn.j for estab- nauiac a eaiuiua nsiiery in Aias&a. At a meeting of the marine engin eers, held in San Francisco on the 12th, the wages of engineers and as sistants on the Alaska fishing steam ers were fixed at S125 and $90 re spectively. For the first time this season there were several fishing boats on the river yesterday between the city and Tongue point, tryiDg their new sails, and tacking back and forth on the bright water. The AUiancekns been having a new propellor put in on the beach by Parker's deck: the Michigan is tak ing on lumber at the Astoria Packing Co's deck: repairs to the Clara Par Tcer are about cempleted: she leaves for Portland to-morrow. Up to date 531,436 cases of salmon have been received in San Francisco from April 1, '83: for the same period last year 328,146 cases were received, and the year before 302,945. The in crease for last season was due to re ceipts of canned salmon from Alaska. Butterflies flitting in the bright suniignt are a daily sight A man with no soul for the beautiful things of life gets off the follewing: he asks why is hot biscuit at breakfast like a caterpillar, and answers: "Because it is the grub that makes the butterfly." The idea! There was a strike of the workmen employed by the Puget Sound Steve doring company in loading the Brit ish bark Keir at Tacoma last Monday. The trouble arose over the employ ment of two non-union men. The foremen discharged the two men, and the strikers returned to work. The powerful tragedy of "Virgin ins" will be given by Fred'k Warde at Ross' Opera house next Monday evening. This is pronounced to be one of those grand plays that once Been move the spirit to witness a sec ond representation. Reserved seats for sale next Saturday nt the New York Novelty store. Andrew Myllyae, while attempting to get a log out of the water at Fort Stevens yesterday, was struck by a heavy swell which caused him to loose hjs footing, when the log rolled over him crushing both bones of the left leg from the ankle to the knee. He was brought to the hospital yesterday afternoon for surgical treatment. The Solano Times says: The straits of Carquinez are literally swarming with sealions, and the fishermen are having a hard struggle with them. Out of the sixteen salmon in a net Tuesday only two were secured by the fishermen, the sealions eating up before their eyes the other fourteen, besides tearing the net to pieces. Frank Johnson, formerly of W. T. Coleman & Co., now of the Johnson Locke Co.,-has a four year old son, who, it all goes well, will some day be a rich man. The little fellow's ma ternal crandfather. Gen. Thos. Wil Hams, has left him in his will, S100,- 000. whioh, rightly invested, -will give him Jat 21 a princely start for a great fortune. A mortpaM is beincr recorded in the county clerks' offices in Califor nia, wherein it appears that the Northern Railway company and the Southern Pacific railway company have mortgaged their property in that state to the Union Trust com pany in New York for 821,000,000. the bonds to run for fifty years at the rate of 5 per cent interest per an num. And now it is reported that Edison, the electric wizard, is at work on a new invention, the lingaazranh. ' It is intended to take the place of a steam whistle on locomotives and boats, by substituting a machine that will shout and tell the names of sta tions and be "piercing and melo dious" at the same time. The pres ent whistle in general use is piercing, uui ii 13 urn meioaious. The Tacoma city council unexpect edly held a SDecial meeting last Mnn. day night, which they kept secret from me reporters oi all the papers, and it was only accidentally discovered that at that meetinglhey gave away prop erty of the city to a street railway company worth 850,000, in vacating certain streets withont notice to citi zens. The Tacomanewspaper report ers don't seem to be very fly. The Astoria Street Railway Co. has about 700 feet of piling driven on its eastern extension and has about I,G00 ieet more to go, though the company now talks of extending the road as far as tho Tongue Point saloon. They also contemplate extending the roaa to Aiuerurook, and are now in ne gotiation with owners of DroDertv in Alderbrook to buy two acres there and make a family resort and public park at that end of the line. Col. N. B. Knicht. one of the rail road commissioners appointed by Gov. Pennoyer in opposition to the commission elected by the legisla ture, proposes on April 1 to make a demand on tho secretary of state for his salary, and if this is refused him he will sue out a writ of mandamus requiring the state treasurer to pay him. The case will be taken, by con sent of both commissioners, to the supremo court for settlement. A singular announcement has been received by collector Hobson from the treasury department at Washing ton, that the use of stamps on opium has been discontinued. This, virtually, puts a preminm on smug gling the drug. The inspectors nor nobody else can not tell the difference between opium smuggled or opium upon which tne duty is taken off, un less it is stamped. The ruling has probably been made under miscon ception of the facts, and will doubt less be abrogated when the actual sit uation is understood. The banksand bars of Snake river. and also of the Columbia river, con tain vast treasures of tine gold, which have been washed by the currents of these rivers for many miles, and which have been detached from ledges by the abrasion of the waters through them and over them, and been deposited for hundreds of miles below these parent veins. In some places the sand and gravel is so rich in these deposits, that from 810 to S20 a day is taken out by means of rockers and toms, with water and the use of quicksilver to save the fine particles, which is termed float gold. On the Michigan to-day go Chas. Lundberg and fourteen men to San Francisco. They take a complete cannery, buildings, outfit and all, and on arriving at San Francisco where most of the men will be hired, the freight will be unloaded on the Sea Waif tor Alaska, and turned over to Captain Johnson. The Behring Sea Packing Co. have chartered the Sea Waf, &nd of all the Alaska salmon companies' establishments this year, the Behring's Sea Packing Co. will go about as far north as any of them. Chas. Lundberg will return here on the arrival of the Michigan at San Francisco. The bids for furnishing ties tor the Astoria & South Coast Railway Co. are as follews: Hickman & Hartley, 15,000 35 cents each; L. Michael, 10,000 27 cents; S. A. Miller, 30, 000 36 cents: Hocue & Youne. 30.- 000 33 cents; Wm. Barr, delivered at Klaskanine, 20,000 22 cents; Clatsop Mill Co., at mill, 31 one-fifth cents, at Skipanon, 36 cents; Leavens & Lanktree, 30,000 28 cents; M. P. Callender, 10,000 or more, 32 cents. Mr. Thielsen yesterday awarded the contracts as follews: L. Michael, Stella, W.T., 10,000; Wm. Barr, of Klaskanine, 10,000; Leavens & Lank tree, of Portland, 15,000. The ties are of red and yellow fir and tideland spruce, are to be 6x8 inches, eight feet long, and are to be delivered at Astoria or Skipanon at the option of the superintendent. Traffic on the roadway was" tempo rarily suspended yesterday by Mr. McCann, who fenced across that part of that ancient thoroughfare adjacent to his property, several teamsters made remarks appropriate to the oc casion, and the city council commit tee instructed street superintendent Clinton to remove the obstruction, which he did. Mr. McCann says that there is no legal street there. The city says there is, and there the mailer is. une way 10 nnu om, ana that is probably the way Mr. Mc Cann desires, is to arrest him for obstructing the street. Then, it there is a street there, tne city can prove it in ceurt: if there isn t, it would seem as if there had been a great deal of liberty taken with private prop erty in that vicinity during the last eleven years. If there is no street there, there certainly should be one. - m Last week two horses were stolen from the stable of P. M. Bynearson", near' Oregon City. The thief took one first, and after going a short dis tance the horse threw him and jumped into the pasture. The fellow went back and took another horse and saddle, and next day broke into a house near Mohalla, taking provis ions, etc. A constable and posse went in search of him and found him while asleep in a barn not far away. While tho constable was reading the warrant to him, he drew a revol ver and fired and the constable and posse tookjto their heels. One of the men secured the burglar's horse, which proved to be the one he had stolen from Bynearson. Next day a house near by was broken into and a repeating rifle and 40 rounds of am munition stolen. The sheriff of the county and a posse are in hot pursuit of the robber, who from his descrip tion, is saPDOsed to be an escaoed convict named Chambers. It is sup posed he will make a lively fleht before he will be taken. Some Salmon Surmises. It is difficult to quote the market in a satisfactory way. There are many inquiries, but with the pack so largely sold ahead very little actual business is being done, upon which to base quotations. It is hardly neo- essary to say that the very firm tone heretofore reported is still strongly maintained and tne indications, as we view them, are ot higher prices in the near fntnre. The pack will not be as large as anticipated and there are some dealers who openly avow a disbelief that the futures already sold will be paoked. In such an event outside 'prices must certainly be realized on packs of established reputation. San Francisco Herald of Trade and Grocer and Conner, 14. Liverpool correspondence London Grocer, says: The inquiry for Columbia river salmon is steady, whilst there is an active demand for Alaska,'which i3 gainincr favor in con sequence ot the red color of the flesh. Some surprise is expressed that Columbia river salmon has attracted so little attention this year, but when the difference in price between this description and Alaska fish is con sidered it should not surprise any one. With Alaska 'red fish at 81.30 export and Columbia river at S1.C5, a difference ot 31.40 per case, it is easy to understand why the former is pre ferred. As the season advances and domestic buyers are obliged to enter tne market to supply current needs, it is not improbable Columbia river fish, early delivery particularly, will be in active reques. San Francisco Grocer and Country Merchant IS. How Men Die. If we know all tho methods of ap proach adoptod by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward off the danger and pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength of the body suffices to enable it to op pose tne tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all the difference between sudden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, uoia or any trouoie ot tue inroat or Lungs, give that old and wellknown remedy iJoschee's lierman Syrup, a oarful trial. It will prove what thousands say ot it to be, the "bene aotor of any home." A Rough Bar at San Francisco. San Francisco, March 19. Tho bar at tho entrance to the Golden Gate is- still breaking badly, and al though the gale has moderated, bar bound vessels are prevented from leaving the harbor until more favora ble reports can be obtained as to the condition ot the bar. The steamer Eva arrived off the heads this morn ing, after seventeen days ot stormy passage from Kahului. When cross ing the bar three heavy seas washed her decks, smashing in her stern rail ing and damaging her wheel. The man at the wheel was caught in the wreck of the railing and was severely injured. The captain of the vessel considers his experience a narrow es cape from total destruction ot the Eva. PROGRESS.

The following is an extract from the obituary notice of u Kansas news paper, published in another paper of the same town. "The pen is silent; the office scis sors have been laid away to rust. The stillness of death pervades the very atmosphere where once the hoarse voice of the devil yellinc 'copyT or 'whatinhell'sthisword?' was wont to resound. The paste pot has soured on the what-not; the cock roach is eating the composition off the roller, and the blue bottle fly is dying in the rich folds of the printer's towel." Tlie Verdict Uuaniiuous. W.D. Suit. Drueeisr. Binmis. Iml.. testifies: "1 can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case.

At last the site of the big town on Gray's harbor has been decided upon. That town must be the terminus of the Tacoma, Olympia & Gray's Har bor railway, now being surveyed from Centralia westward. George H. Emerson, of the North western Lumber company, at Hoqui am, on Gray's harbor, has been here for several days ia consultation with ex-governor Marshall, of Minnesota, Col. Ellsbury, and Mr. Spencer, of St. Paul, Mr. Dondum, ot Chicago, and others, representing the capital ists engaged in the railroad enter prise. Mr. Emerson gave the Orego nian correspondent the exclusive in formation that the capitalists named aDove naa selected a Bite for the great city on' urays narDor, at a point below Moquiam. They have purchased from Mr. Emerson and his associates to-day 21,000 acres of land, stretching along Gray's harbor from one to five miles below Hoquiam, on the north side and below the first bar from the outside. They will at high tide always have thirty feet of water all the way to the townsite from the open ocean, and if the government will dredge the outside bar will al ways have that at low tide. The townsite always talked of on Gray's harbor is at Ned's rocks, some three or four miles further west, but this purchase settles the matter. Mr. Emerson declines to state the terms of the sale. Tacoma Correspondence Oregontan. Dangers of Tree Sawing. On this northwest coast the saw has largely supplanted the ax in felling timber, but the change is severe upon tho woodsmen. After being sawed partly through, a tree is forced over by inserting a number of steel wedges in the kerf, which are driven in with steel sledges. They are set in as closely together as possible, and tho driving ot the wedges frequently re quires three hours or more. Tho constant contact of the steol sledges with the steel wedges results in chip ping off fragments which fly with great force, and in numerous instan ces become imbedded in the flesh of tho workmen, requiring surgical op erations to remove them. Many eyes have been lost in this way, while arm and shoulder wounds are fre quent Some means ot protection against the sharp missile is needed.
