TErBeii "Wing .Aws lias instituted anew field for journalistic labor by giving Hie census, according to the physicians, of infants winch will be bom in that city during the month of March. The idea is certainly original with the editor of that paper. Ax estimate of the wealth of John D. Rockefeller, the "Standard Oil Croesus,'" made by a man who is sup posed to know, places it at 129,000, 1 This parly says that it Rocke fellers health holds out, in ten years fee "will be the richest man in the wodcL, The Tacoma JVtvrw brielly enunci ates a great truth when it says that neither the Associated Press nor the "Western Union Telegraph company, or which it is a twin octopus, any longer have a mouoKily of all the earth. Some things can be done as well as others, and the Netrtt has dropped on the fact. A TEAKivr advertisement of one col umn in the Chicago Tribune costs 336.090; in the New York Tribune. S2a,000 for the lowest and 35,050 for the highest rate; in the New York mrrf, S3G.200 for the lowest and S39,fi(X) for the highest price column. A single page in a single issue of the Century, taken for advertising pur poses, costs S500; in Harpers $100. Axethki: fire-prtKf building in )o ton has burned. This means that no cat or town can le too careful about fire. When a fine stone and iron structure will be destroyed against the working r a splendid fire depart ment, all towns made of wood entirely an.Mii constant danger. Astoria has leen in unusual luck to escape-severe loss, but backed by an ellicient ser vice, the citizens should exercise re-" doubled care in the future. Imno is in hard luck. She has to stand to one side and see Wyoming rushing along towards statehood, while she has received a slap in the face The story is simple. Idaho did not discourage Mormonism within her lKumdaries formerly, while Wy oming did. Now as they both appear before the bar of judgment, Wyoming is given the reward of merit, and Idaho is told to go and cleanse her HClf. DD3m:oT distance," is the cry of saenco to-dav. It would astonish our forefathers to see the way their pos terity fly through space. We think in 1S&I that our methods of convey ance arc remarkable, but in 1950 the improvements will be as far ahead as we are of sixty years ago. The con tinent will then be crossed at the rate of a mile per minnte, and another XclHo Bly will girdle the globe in thirty days. Tiik way Michigan lumbermen are making this section their Mecca is proor of our possibilities. The cream has been taken Trom that stale while opportunities if the lumber trade in the northwest are only in the infancy of their improvement Thirty years ago the lumbermen left New England for Michigan and Wisconsin; they now peek thG farthest points west Then wc can look for jtennanent invest ments and improvements because Manufactures could remove their plants only to settle in a less produc tive land. Tacoma is exultant Seattle is to be left out in the cold. The new railroad being const rucled to Rrilish Colum bia from Tacoma b the Northern Pa cific is to 1h an air line. It cannot take in Seattle that place is too un imiKirtant, thinks ihc Lvrfyer. Only a branch will run into that city. Just lecause it will cost a few thousand dollars less to construct an air line, Tacoma believes that this road will neglect the tremendous traflic to re salt from going diiectly through Seat tle. There is no logic there. Seattle ay le a molehill in the wishes or Tacoma, but she is a mountain in re ality. Let the fun go on. It requires the utmost exercise of journalistic charity to repress indig iwmt comment on the idiot who usurps a Hiau's place on the revenue cutter Hush. It was silly to send the Hush o such an errand, and the postal au thorities have demonstrated almost the limit of silliness, but the crass slu pidity or the commander of the 7. is almost outside the limit of belief. Tm: AsTontAN thinks that oflicial in quiry should be instituted, and if cir CK&stanccs are as they appear, the party in question should be made pay the proper enalty. Astoria has lost heavily in the parsimony of the gen- end government and the asininity of the commander of the Jiush. It is now established as a positive fact that the Union Pacific railroad will parallel the Central Pacific. The information comas direct from Charles FnuKusAdamsTtho president of the UmoH Pacific, and there is no doubt the world of its authenticity, as will be shown by the announcement tctv slwrtly. It is in the plans adooted to build to the Atlantic asd Pacific railroad, and combine with that corporation in a through road to the Pacific coast When this is accomplished there will begin one of the greatest rate wars ever yet re cenlled. It is the determination of the Uaioa Pacific to cut rates to all points aMarowHlthe Central Pacific This wfck is considered to be the outcome f the combination entered into a hwt thae ago with the Vandcrbilt iQ'MeiM. A complete understanding ka for pone lime existed between Ihe Vaadcrbilts and the Un it Pacific people, and the chief aim of this gigantic combination seemed to be to get the absolute con trol of a line to the coast This could not be done in the face of the existing circumstances on the Central Pacific, as it was known to be impossible to make terms with that combination, and hence the new move. It is one of the most important moves in the railroad world made in some years. SILAS IN SEATTLE. His Iinpre.imis of the Sound. From Seattle, Silas Yastiue, the young niralist from the Skunk river country of Iowa, wrote the following letter to Miss Luanda Pypcs, his sweetheart at heme: Seattle, Washington.

H Rog ers, the plaintiffs averring that on the 11th or February, 1SS9, tbey sold 1S, 000 cases of Alimka salmon at S1.27 per dozen (1-lb cans); aLso, that the company tendered 1,000 cases Jast No vember, and that Bogers refused to re ceive or pay for them. The company sold the salmon at auction, after giv ing due notice to Bogers, and the pro ceeds of the sale were 35,555.18, while, according to the agreement price, SG!f0DJ.8O should have beeiH realized. Judgment is therefore asked for the difference between the amounts- Si:J,5:J'.).C2. The same company also sues .T. .7. Ioorc & Co. to recover $fi,21G.tii) on a similar contract for 10,000 cases of salmon, which were sold at auction owing to the refusal of the defendants to take them. San Francixvo Call, Jan. 2S-. Pivrii.-iliSc Opposition mi the River. It is understood at JCalama, that there will be an opposition boat put on the run between there and Astoria soon. This bout is needed badly by the Northern Pacific Bailway com pany to carry their freight, as the Un ion Pacific at present controls all the boats and prevents the Northern Pacific from getting through freight. Besides this, .inee the Union Pacific has got. control or the river they are not half so accommodating as they were when opposition boats were running. In I'sriiirivhip With flic Deputy V. S. Marshal. As James Turk shipped the sailors for the Orplu us it would seem he is still in the business, notwithstanding his titalement that he had retired.

The Challenger, which is ready to go to sea, is loaded to 21 feet 7 inches. The Gen. Canby made the trip from Ilwaco Monday, in two hours in the face of the gale that was blowing. The old barge lying on the south side of the U. P. dock is leaking badly. She required considerable pumping yesterday to get her hold alovc the danger line. The new boat, the Fair Trial, is ncaring completion. Her hull and decks are all finished, and her cabin will soon be done. The boiler canie from Buffalo, New York, and is well built, She is just seven feet shorter than the Canby. but has a wider beam. She will run this summer letween Ilwaco and Astoria, A board, comprising all the insicc tors of steam vessels throughout the United States, has decided in favor of a general regulation compelling all ocean vessels to carry life saving ap paratus, such as guns, lines and rock ets. This will affect the lines between San Francisco, Astoria, Portland and Sound points, and all firms controlling life carrying vessels plying from the port or San Francisco or along the Pacific coast. The order will go into ellect in July. 3Ian Drowned near Ilwaco. The list (if the drowned men in creases. Monday a man named Jones, the third mate of some vessel that has come iuto this port this year, was found dead near Ilwaco. He had left the ship and his job and was visit ing a friend across the river. He had been there quite a while, stayiug with his friend and apparently not employed at any work. Monday he started on horse back across the tide lauds. The water was over a bridge he tried to cross. He must havo lost the di rect road and either driven off the bridge or missed it altogether. Not returning a search was begun and both ho and his horse were discovered drowned. He was advised before starting that there was danger, but the advice was disregarded. Flotsam and Jetsam oa the River. The quantities of logs that escaped from the booms on the Willamette are being hauled ashore in great numbers at Clifton. The logs are branded and the owners give a dollar apiece for them when saved. The fishermen and tug men are improving the chance to make some money by bringing them ashore. The river was thick with small and big craft yesterday getting hold of the timber. As many of the logs hold together like rafts, the tugs fasten to them and bring hundreds out of the current at a time. Pas sengers on the Reed report that it was a lively scene and looked like the fishing season to see so many boats on the river. The Heed was compelled to do some expert dodging to avoid the obstructions. Time to Buy in M T EAST OF 0LNEY. Washington Salmon Tack in 1889.
