and about sixty miles south of the bar

the wreck, tboughJue and -the (.other
officers kept a bright look out.
A gentleman from Michigan who is
stopping at the Astor house, is the ad
vance guard of a colony of Michigan
ders who are coming out here this
season. He and one or two others
have been looking for a suitable loca
tion, and are pretty certain they have
found hj in Clatsop county. They will
never regret their choice, and will be
welcome citizens.
Last Saturday, at Oregon City, dis
trict attorney McBrido was stabbed by
a rancher named Smothers, who had a
grudge against him because of a de
cision as referee in a land suit two
years ago. Smathers is said to have
aimed for his heart, but Mr. McBride
partially warded off the blow with a
cane and got the wound in his arm, it
being badly gashed, but not probably
of immediate dangor.
It is astonishing to note the num
ber of traps now in the river. There
were always some fish traps, but this
year they are thick everywhere, ex
cept in the main channel, and in
some places they are pretty near the
channel. It is said that next year
there will be more. If they keep on
being built at this season's rate it
won't be many years before a gill net
such as is put out from a fishing boat,
will be a rarity on the lower Colum
bia. From the summit of the hilljabove the
Catholic church there is a view that
is believed to be at least equal, if not
superior to any natural scenery in the
northwest Both rivers, lwtk bays,
the ocean, the three smaller rivers to
the south, the country round about,
the city, the adjacent forests and up
lands, the hills and shores beyond to
the north and eastward, and the dis
tant snow crowned mountains make
an unusual combination that is great
lv admired but cannot be descrhSed.
Tun Astorian is told that the head
of the O. B. & N. Co. out here said
last Saturday that he realized the ne
cessity for a good tug service on the
Columbia river bar; and -that if the
Escort and the D6nald,' after she is
rebuilt, isn't enough, that a 'new steel
tug, as powerful as any ou the coast,
will be put on the bar towage service.
Such a tug would be a valuable, and
necessary acquisition. The present
tug service is not considered adequate
to demands likely to arise at any time.
The California Paper C o., yesterday
sold a carload of paper to The Asto
rian. The only interesting point to
this is that the paper will be made
in California from Clatsop county
trees, of which pulp is made at the
Young's river pulp factory. So that
Clatsop county residents will read the
news on material that not so long
ago was growing heavenward in the
shape of sundry stalwart trees near
Young's river. Tnc Astorian mod
estly, but confidently looks forward
to the day when Astoria will be so
large a city that The Astorian will
have a paper mill of its own, when
the pulp from the mill here won't
have to be first shipped to San Fran
cisco and then back in the shape of
paper, but that we will be supplied
direct. The Astorian will agree to
buy all its paper for cash from any
one starting such an enterprise, and
do all it can to influence others in
Oregon and Washington to do the
same.
The wreck of the Alaskan calls to
mind among other things the almost
forgotten fact that just three years
ago her sister vessel, the steel side
wheel steamer, the Olympian, came
within an ace of meeting the same
dreadful fate. She left here, just as the
Alaskan did, and on the same errand,
one bright morning in June, 18S6, in
command of Capt Jim Carroll, and
when down about where the Alaskan
broke in two, was caught in terrible
weather. The thumping of the sea
loosened her guards, and those on
board were getting a little shaky,when
the Oregon came along on her way
here from San Francisco. She stood
by for six hours, sent her carpenter
ana a corps or assistants aboard, and
a lot of spikes, hammers and tools and
they worked like leavers, and in tell
ing of it Capt. Carroll says he drew
a long breath of relief when he pot
inside the neads and felt that the
danger was over. Vessels built like
the Alaskan and Olympian have little
business along this northwest coast

PEBHAPS THEY'RE SAVED.
The Other Boat's Grew Looted Por-
News From Some More of the Survivors.
Portiiand, May 20. Ed. AYarde, of
tne m-iated steamer Alasmn, arnvea
in this city this morning at 11 o'clock,
from Eugene City. He said: "I
landed with the rest of my crowd at
Cape Perpetua, last Wednesday even
ing, at 530 o'clock. There were eleven
of us: myself, E. A. Carlson, M. Kel
cher, Jas. McKintry, Mike McKin,
Edward Sharpies, Harrjr Johnson, G.
W. Boss, Edward Wenzie,. Ed. Burns,
and J. Murray."
The following telegram was re
ceived from Mr. AV. M. Hoag, at Cor
vallis to C. J. Smith, at 10 o'clock
this merning: i
"The following telegram has been
received from our agent at Yaquina
Bay: 'A party came in from Alsea
bay last night and reported 'that one
of the boats from the ill-fated steamer
Alaskan came into Cape Perpetua
early yesterday morning with ten of
the wrecked sailors. They report hav
ing drifted near one of the life rafts
from the Alaskan with two dead men
on her. The men are now at Alsea,
and report no news of the other boat,
but give news to Capt Winant, of the
steamer 21 ischief, of their location and
direction when last seen, and the Mis
chief at once put to sea to search for
the unfortunate men.'
'The sailors saved are in good con
dition, and strong hopes are enter
tained that Capt AVinant will pick up
the missing boat, which is supposed
to contain eighteen men.' "
Ed Warde says he and his party es
caped from the wreck in life boat No.
3. They saw nothing of the life raft
ixjuuiining me ueau men as well as
those who were alive, so that it looks
as though the boat about which
Mr. Hoag telegrapliB as landing at
Capo Perpetua is not the one now
known to bo safe and represented here
by AVm. Warde.
It is known from Mr. Hoag's dis
patch that the boat of which he speaks
landed Sunday morning, whereas boat
No. 3 came in the Wednesday before.
AVarde says there was no dead hi
his boat,but all the eleven landed alive
though badly off. Their clothing was
nearly all gone and few of them hod
foot covering? Tt is thought highly
probable that the boat said- to contain
eighteen men has landed at Cape Per
petua, and the men are now coming
into Yaquina. This is shown by
AVarde's statement that he saw no life
raft.

BOARD PILOT COMMISSIONERS.
Meeting Yesterday. What was Done.
The board of pilot commissioners
met yesterday: present Messrs. J. A.
Brown, Louis Wilson, Geo. AY. Louus
berry, clerk. The board transacted
the usual routine business, referred all
applications for branches, etc., to new
board for action thereon and then ad
journed.
The new board then met, consisting
of Louis Wilson, J. A. Brown and A.
Montgomery, Geo. AA7. Lounsberry
acting secretary.
Commissioner Montgomery nomi
nated Commissioner Wilson for presi
dent: then Commissioner Wilson nom
inated Commissioner Montgomery for
president Neither nomination was
seconded. -.So the matter went over,
(Commissioner AVilson acting as chair
man of the meeting.
Then a proposition was read from
the chamber of commerce regarding a
room for office purpeses: on motion
the proposition was accepted.
Then came up the question of elect
ing a clerk, to serve two years at a
salary of 8600 a year, as much as all
three of the pilot commissioners get.
The minutes of the transactions
after the meeting were at Mr. Louns
berry's house up to the hour of going
to press, and Mr. Lounsberry's house
is some distance up on the hill, and
the walking was not very goed: con
flicting accounts arise as to the acts
and intentions of Commissioner Wil
son and Commissioner Brown and
Commissioner Montgomery, but it ap
pears, that the election of president
was not in exact accordance with what
Commissioner Brown considered he
had reason to expect
For clerk commissioner Montgom
ery nominated Walter L. Bebb:
The vote stood, for Bebb: Montgom
ery, AyejJBrown, no; Wilson not vot
ing. Then a second vote was taken: this
time commissioner Montgomery voted
aye, commissioner Wilson, no, and
commissioner Brown, who was last in
e ay, voted aye; so "Walter L. Bobb
was declared elected.
Then came up the question of issu
ing branches. There was quite a
batch of applications; seven in all.
Commissioner Brown moved that
they be taken up and acted upon.
(Commissioner Montgomery objected;
he said that inasmuch as the new law
had not yet gone into effect it would,
he thought, be better to wait till it
did go into effect; that there were also
unsettled differences between the pi
lots and the O. K. & N. Co. Commis
sioner Brown then thought it would
be the proper thing, if they did ad
journ, to adjourn till to-day. Fnr
ther objection was made to this and
commissioner Brown remarked with
uiiipnasis that ha bad, a good notion
to resign and, so far as he was CO'.l
cerned, let the other two run tho thing
and then Gov. Pennoyer would lx
able to appoint Dick Lemon to fill tho
vacancy so caused. Then other re
marks of a pro and con, principally
con, nature were made, and a motion
to adjourn to June 10th at 10 a. m.,
was made by commissioner Montgom
ery. The motion prevailed, and tho
meeting adjourned harmoniously.
Walter L. Bobb, the newly elected
secretary, was then notified of his
election, and he proceeded to execute
a good and faithful bond in the sum
of 83,000.
After the meeting the law in rela
tion to the question of president was
looked up, and it was found that in
the event of no election the member
senior in age shall act as president:
Commissioner Montgomery is believed
to be older than commissioner Brown
or commissionerWilson; if this be
lief is founded on correct understand
ing of the age3 of each, then commis
sioner Montgomery is now president
or the board of pilot commissioners
for the state of Oregon.
