CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER There xvas such a run of salmon yesterday that in some instances the canneries were compelled to refuse them from the boats. The salmon are in the river in great numbers, and nothing like it has been seen for years. Two causes are assigned for the ex Ir.inruinary run of 31ay fish; one is the protracted inactivity throughout April and the first days of this meuth: the other that the effects of the good work at the salmon hatchery is begm- to be the A horse fell off the steamer Trie- aiimr nn linnr f rvinir in jrnf luni i i.C? . , "T IT " ?. r.i .. ...i lue urst reason seems auoaru, uiu ueamer bianeu ou jiuu . i.-i.i- AKmif . , ,-. sfnfA of affairs existed in the spring of 188G as did this year: there was no fishiug done till May 12th that year, and when the steed swam ashore.

It is proper enough to have wood dumped in the street before carrx ing it in the yard or house, but in home instances wood is continually kept in the street, often to tho incouvenienco of passing teams. the boats did go out they made euor mous catches. It is said that some of the three-year salmon from the hatching of 1887 are showing up, but the large salmon evi dently antedate the seed of that year. There being comparatively few cans on hand make it a difficult matter for some of the canneries to take care of the salmon. as fast as the fishermen furnish them. One cannery yesterday had to disjKse of -MX) fishat 25 cents apiece less than they paid for them to get them off their hands. Were all the salmon packed that could be caught, the pack for May would aggregate figures that would compare with those of May in other vears.

Not for many months has thore been so few in the county clerk's of fice searching records. Yesterday was so lovely that evidently the searchers preferred to be out of doors, as only one tKKk or record was taken out of the vault. Julius Strauss was in receipt of a dispatch last evening, bearing the sad intelligence of the death of his brother, Aaron,' in Idaho City. The deceased leaves a wife and family. In conse quence the New York Novelty Stoic will le close! lo-dax. In Sheriff Smith's office yesterday, Joseph Holfaday, under protest, paid 1,712.83 taxes and cost on the Ben j Holladay estate at Seaside, xvhich w:is , t have ieen sold next Saturday for i taxes. The objection to payment has j leen made that the taxes xvere too ! high. Third street from Main eastxvard is to le raised and rebuilt at a cost or s-ex-eral thousand dollars. The street nlaint had been made to him of dams in the river there, preventing the salmon from coming up. He reports every stream bank high and full of salmon. The high xvater this year will be sometliiug tremendous. Snoxv Ls still piled deep in the mountains and has just begun melting. At Celilo last Friday the water rose at the rate of an inch" an hour. The fish wheels are doing little as yet All the xvay doxx'n the river a big catch of salmon is reported. The fish are all fine ones, above the average in size. JT.ltSON'AL 3IENTION. STATE OFFICIAL.

A new canet xas yesterday being laid on the Jloor of the hall of Astoria engine company No. 1. It is of Brus sels of very handsome pattern, and the new carjet on the platform is also Brussels, ot a darker shade. Nexv enspadores, nickel and earthen, of very attractive designs, have also been procured, and when the room is com pleted, as it will be to-day, it will be remarkably neat iu appearance. The Westminster papers report that shipments ot spring salmon to eastern points have fallen off materially in the last few days, because Newfoundland and Nova Scotia are bidding for the Toronto and Montreal markets with a fish, very much inferior to Fraser river spring salmon, and this has depre ciated the market in those centers so as to make it unprofitable for the Westminster dealers to ship and pay express charges. The price of salmon has been much reduced, and tho fish ermen are now bringing in but few fish in order not to glut the market remains mere ior me present, on a visit to relatives. Major Blakenex', A. B. McKean, C. McDonald, and il. C. Smith left here yesterday morning on the State of California, bound for San Francisco. " Henry Gregory, of Honolulu, Sand xvich Islands, a brother of William Gregony, first male of the Manznnita, arrived vesterdav morning on the steamer from Sau Francisco, and left hist ex'ening forPortlaud. From there lie goes across the continent to New York on a visit to Dublin, Ireland. He expects to be absent from Honolulu about ftVc months. THE STEAMER DOLPHIN'' Reported Ashore at Toke" Point. Conflicting reports reached this ofiico last evening regarding the stranding ot the steamer Dolphin at Shoalxvater bay last Tuesday after noon. The most coherent statement Ls that the Dolphin, xvhich left here last Tuesday morning for Shoalwater bay, went ashore at sunset that day near Toke's point The tug T. J. Coleman, of the Sunshine mills,x-ent to her assistance and made an ineffectual attempt to toxv her off. Capt Broxvn's life crew from North Cove went out in the life boat and took the crew off. No further particulars of the alleged disaster were obtainable last evening, and the exact extent of the Dolphin's injuries could not be ascertained. It may be news to some of our read ers that there is such an officer in this commonwealth as a state food com missioner. His name is Peter Essen, and he is here. His business is to en force the law that makes it an offense punishable by fine and imprisonment to produce or sell unwholesome food, or adulterated foods, drinks and med icines. Mr. Essen is a big man; he has a big job. From the sunrise peaks of the Cascades to loxv water mark at the Fort Stevens jetty, he has the whole webfoot commonwealth to look after, aud it is no slouch of an undertaking. What the people of Oregon eat and drink and take as medicine is a mat ter that comes home to everyone's stomach. It is where xve live, so to speak, and Mr. Essen will well earn his thousand dollars a year and ex penses if he will look after the inter ests of tho people in this important regard. Tho first thing he did yesterday morning was to go aboard one of the little boats and seize a big can of milk that a suburban milkmau was about to deliver to his Astoria customers. Tho milkman xx-as the most surprised man in the state, xvheu Mr. Essen pro duced his lactometer and the rest of the scientific outfit and proceeded to test the qualitv of the milk. "Well," said he at the close, "that is great; this milk is axvay above all re quirement; it is richer and purer than any milk Fve met xvith. I want to compliment your city" said he to au AsToniAN reporter 'if this is a sample of the milk you get here, for it is fine, and not a single fault can be found with it." He was assured that it was a fair sample of the lacteal fluid daily sold to Astorians. "The xvater, also," said Mr. Essen, "that I find you use is remarably pure." This has also been noticed by other people xvho smack their lips over Astoria xvater as compared xvith the rich and ropy product of the Wil lamette. Rigid regulations in accord xvith the legal requirements of the act, would, however, doubtless result in a dis covery of some adulterations in goods Ixmglit elsewhere and offered for sale just as received. Some of the clauses are a little dif ficult to enforce. For instance, sec tion 3 says that each cow kept for dairy purposes if confined in stables, shall have at least 800 feet air space, etc, xvhich is manifestly impossible to enforce. Mr. Essen xvill be sometimeKiu the city and xvill doubtless make the ac quaintance of sex'eral of our citizens while here. MARINE NEWS AND NOTES. I IISAIj ESTATE TRANSFERS.

LOOK O VT FOli THE LOCOMOTIVE Yesterday afternoon Dr. Alfred Kinney receix-ed a dispatch from Mr. Barr, the chief eugineer of the Albany and Astoria railway company, saying that he xvould be down here xvith his entire force on Friday morning's boat, and would immediately begin opera tions. There are about txveuty men in the party, and they will bring their pack horses and surveying outfit and start in to complete the survey of tho road, preparatory to grading and track laying. There hasn't been much talk about this, but there is S2,000,000 behind it, and the Albany and Astoria road is an assured fact Thus makes txvo railroads that are now, it may be said, under xvay. There are txvo more to hear from that are still hesitating and xveighing chances and probabilities. Of these two, one of them xvill be heard from in side of ten days, and in a way that there is little doubt will lusure the exten sion of that lino also to Astoria, the seaport of Oregon.

Henry Dizard the chef de cuisine of Seattle's big hotel, on being asked by n Pre.M reporter the best way to cook a beefsteak, laid great stress upon the fact that the meat should be four days old before it is used. "The meat,'' he said, "must have been kept for four days in the refrig erator after the animal Ls killed before it is in a right condition, and though it sometimes does not look very tempt ing on the outside to the eye of the uninitiated, it is splendid inside and ready for use.

The Price of Judas' Treachery. I "The usnal lime is from ten to txvelx-e minutes," replied Mr. Dizard. "A steak is rarely done in less time." For fryiug Mr. Dizard recommends that the steak be put into a pan con- taming a small quantity ot suet, or rather a pan rubbed on the inside xxith suet. mm. II. COOPER Third Street.

A WORD OF cATrrroN". lie Would Ilax'e His Joke. A scientific man, while out in a boat recently, near Seattle, was caught in a fog so dense that it xvas impossible to see twenty feet ahead. The boatman stopped rowing, saying that they must wait for daylight or at least until the fog should clear axvay, as they did not know in what direction to steer. Their passenger then shoxved Uiem what benefit could be reaped, in an emergency from a knowledge of cer tain natural laxvs. He says: "I at once stood up in tho boat and shouted. Soon an echo came back. Pointing in the direction from which it pro ceeded, I said: 'There is the nearest land.' Rowing halt a mile in a speci fied direction, we soon reached the shore. The fact upon which I acted was this: air saturated with moisture during a fog is a much better con ductor of sound than xx-hen dry. Two remits follew: sounds travel faster sad hence the echo returns more speedily, and the sound is heard more distinctly. That would be unneces sary here where there is rarely fog in the river.

"Wish there was a tavern round here," said the friend. ''There is I know there is," replied the other. "See that old felloxv at work in the bnsh?" pointing to a man who was piling up hemlock bark col lected for Olvis's tannery. "Yes-let's ask him." "Hello, friend," said the cruiser, "where's the tavern?" "Tavern what tavern? Ain't none about here -" "But there is- there must be. Quit fooling and show us the way." "Don't I tell you there aiu't none." "Why, that's remarkable most ex traordinary. What on earth are you doing here then?" "Me? Can't yon see Fm pilin' bark?"

Every man xvho is a general reader has, donbtless, noticed how often, when he has been reading of a certain sub ject, he xvill run across the same sub- I T " ject in an unexpected place, and an in- T10 , , cident of this kind bronght to my at- J y 3 e,al tention a very curious fact, which xvas a rovelalion to me. I had just finished W. W.Story's poem, "The Letter of a Roman Laxvyer in Jerusalem," says a writcrin thetfo6c-Z)eiocrrt,in xvhich Story presents the legal aspect of the case'of Judas Iscariot, and suggested that in betraying the Saxior he was only attempting to gixre Jesus Christ au 'opportunity to declare and prove himself God, and that he only accepted the thirty pieces of silver to gixe his act the appearance of a betrayal for a bribe. 1 laid aside the pamphlet con taining the poem and picked up a book, iu xvhich I found an article on the ancient coins of the east, aud one of the lirt things 1 read xvas that the "piece' of silx-er of 2,000 years ago xvas the name of a coin, and that its x-alue was 13 cents. It did not require much cal culation then for me to see that the price xvhich xvas paid Judas by the Sanhedrim for betraying Christ was onlv S3.90. Do von know this uuex- pected information made Story's poem j Seaside is njicn thu year 'round. have a strange effect upon me. btory points to the fact that Judas carried the pnblic purse aud could not have been avaricious, or else hexvould not have been trusted xvith his fund for the ioor, for xvhich he rendered no account to any one, yet lie betrayed his master for S3J0. I had always thought that "thirty pieces of silver' meant some largo amount, and the statement astonished me xvhen I read it, but on referring to a work on numismatics I saw that Ihc "piece of silver' of Jerusalem xvas about the same x'alue as the "ore piece" of Den mark, xvhich is just 13 cents, so I sup pose the statement is true.
