ABOUT TOWN.
Caught On The "Wing, Yesterday.
''The young ladies of Astoria" said
an observing man "are not afraid of
work. They have business capacity,
and many of them exercise it welL I
was never in a town where so many
ladies are in business for themselves.
It is a good characteristic, always im
pressing a stranger favombly, and
serving to advertise the town."
Referring to ladies reminds us to
repeat the words of a docter: "This
epidemic of colds has been severe
enough on the men, but the women,
especially the younger class, seem to
be more generally afllicted." "How is
that?' we asked. "Well, you see the
women are shut up so much indoors
that when they are exposed the cold
attacks Ihem the easier. But the girls
are careless. They go here and there
with light shoes and thin rubbers in
variably getting wet feet, while their
cloa!:s are often loose and not protec
tive. The average young lad3' h so
impetuous that she does not stop to
think of the consequences."
To change the subject although it
is not an unpleasant one, a hotel clerk
remarked yesterday: "Do you know
that some men have what I call nu
mitigated cheek? Why, they come to
me and ask for everything. They
hold that I am a safe deposit com
pany, an encyclopedia, tin agent or
every boat ou the river, a library, a

An oil pilot who came to this t-ection
in 1853 has a good many interesting
facts to relate in regard to the river
and its navigation. 'lt is true," said
he tliat tIio.- Government men don't
sound the channel right. I know the !
Columbia as well :is any of them and j
theirsoundings never agree with mine.
They always get a foot or more ofi
depth tlianl do. You see they have a j
shorter lead than I aud their foot is!
often nearer ten inches than twelve.
Then again their lines are not kept
well soaked. It isn't right to sav
that there is a greater depth than j
there is. It is liable to lead to ncci-1
dents." '
'What about these time checks''"'
asked a gentleman last night "There
have been $900 worth of them brought
into our office to-day which can be
bought tor seventy-uvo cents ou a
dollar. I have made inquiries all
around town and can find few people
even ready to take them at that rate.
It is hard luck for these fellows be
cause they need the money. The
railroad company has-been hard on
them indeed.'

A sea wall on the Astoria front is a
great public necessity. It is the legit
imate subject of appropriation by the
United States congress. If the gov
ernment goes to the expense of sev
eral millions in the construction of
jetties for the bar of our great river it
is plainly incumbent upon it to pro
tect the channel of the commerce of
the river at its seaport The channel
on the Oregon side past Astoria 3 a
verv fine one and should not be en
croached upon. It. deserves the best
protection of the government
Main street dock, near the Parker
house, at the point where tho gravelly
shore begins, up to the east line of
Shively'a Astoria at the citv limits and
just beyond the Clatsop mill the
ground is such that it is being con
stantly floated off into the river and
filling it up. To such an extent is this
true that it will soon be difficult to
reach the Union Pacific docks without
dredging. A sea wall between the
points named would make the channel
permanent and protect it from en
croachments, and so soon as it should
be built by the government the adjacent
hills would be brought down by hy
draulic process, and Astoria would
straightway become one of the great
seaport cities of the world. The duty
of the government to thus protect the
commerce of this great river by pro
tecting the channel at its great sea
port, is plain. The cost would be but
trifling compared with its vast impor
tance to commerce. Not over $200,000
woidd be necessary and this wonld be
but a drop in the bucket of our sur
plus millions. This surplus has to be
returned to the people, and none other
than such a channel of commerce
could be more worthy of an appropri
ation. Congressman Hermann, being
on the "river and harbor committee,
has it in his power to compel tho at
tention of congress to this great work.
AH of Oregon and all the cities and
valleys of tho Columbia and its tribu
taries are interested in this sea wall.
The Astoria Chamber of comraerco
should start tho ball rollino- and call
in the assistance of all interested to
secure a sea wall ou the river front by
congressional appropriation.

Early last Sunday morning, one of
the boilers in lhc Electric Xiijjht com
panj'.s premises gave out and it was
11:30 that night before repairs were
finished and the lights, burning.
The company lias contracted with
an Astoria firm to build a new steel
boiler. They could have had the boiler
built in Portland, ciwlerably cheap
er, but they baheve i i protection to
home industries, and give out all work
possible iu their own toivn.
When the nw boiler is finished and
in piaco tavae vexatious "goings out"
of the light will cease.
As it is, they aro as aunoying to the
proprietors themselves r.i to anyone
