Judge Swan says PortTownsend has decided to advertise no more in out side papers, and that the citizens will send several thousand extra copies of home papers away to hotels and read ing rooms. The first gill net used on the Colum bia river, says the Ilwaco Advance, was used at Oak point, in the spring of 1S33, by Mr. Ilodgkins, who brought :t 1 romiveniiebeck. .Me.

The look is not what it is represented. It is dimly printed on rxor paper and inferior binding, and is away behind the time. Letters from Northern Alaska, re garding the recent wreck of the C'orca, say the bark as'she lay was sold for $350. The weather lias been rough there: the day previous the writer of the letter had -walked across the river tin the ice. i was made bv me allowing said writ. 1 Ordinance No. 991 is entitlc-d, "An 1 ordinance concerning offenses and (disorderly conduct" and seotion :J-1 j thereof, which it is claimed Ah Poy violated, reads as follows -to Arit: "Any person or persons wiio Khali smoke opium in any house or place, or who shall be iu any house or place where opium 13 being smoked, with out any lawful business, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof before the nolice court, shall be fined not less than five nor more than one hun dred dollars, or by imprisonment in the citv jail not to exceed twenty days." Counsel for the petitioner contends that the imprisonment is unlawful, because the city had no authority un der its charter, to pass an ordinance embodying the provisions of said sec tion 33, and that consequently the sec tion is. void. In 18S5 the legislature of this state passed an act, entitled "An act to regulate the sale of opium and to suppress opium dens," the first section of which makes it unlawful to sell or give opium, or any preparation or which opium is the principle medicinal agent, to any person except druggists and practicing physicians, except ou the prescription of a practicing phy sician written in the English or Latin lauguage. . The second secliou reads: "No person shall sell any opium or preparation of which opium is the principle medicinal atrent, to be smoked on or about ihe premises where sold; the third section defines an opium den: the fourth section makes it unlawful for any person to frequent any opium den for the pur pose of purchasing or smoking opium; the fifth section provides what evi dence shall be received and the effect thereof, and the sixth section provides the penalty for violation of the law. It will be seen that thestatelaw and city ordinance undertake to legislate upon the same subject matter, and to prohibit persons from smoking opium and resorting to opium dens and places where opium is smoked, antl"uules3 its charter expressly authorizes the com mon council to legislate upon the sub ject, the provisions of the ordinance in question are void. Ho general power granted under a general welfare clause is sufficient to authorize the city to legislate upon a subject where the slate legislature has undertaken to regulate or restrain the same acts.

The smoking of opium, or visiting opium dens cannot be termed disor derly conduct or breaches of the peace any more than can the acts of smok ing tobacco, visiting places where to bacco is sold and smoked, visiliug saloons and keeping open business houses on Sunday. Such acts may be legislated upon under proper author ity expressly given by the legislature, but not under a general welfare clause. The powers of a municipal corpora tion are limited to those expressly con ferred by charter, and thoso necessary to carry'into effect the powers thus conferred. City of Corvallis, 10 Oregon 139. It is not claimed by defendant that the charter expressly confers any right upon the city "to prohibit the smoking of opium, or the frequenting of opium dens or resorts, and the ordinance conflicting with the stale law, in that respect, is null and void.

Seattle was founded thirty-eight years ago, by some thirty or forty' men, who went there iu the schooner Ex franf, which had been chartered by a party of California miners to go to Alaska. These voting men were landed atAQd point, and went to the site of Seattle, winch was then an lndiau set tkaent, and mainly a dense forest Said a caller yesterday, as he bought a dozen cepies: 'I sent TnE Astokian throughout April to points 2,000 miles distant.

The following delegates arrived on the Telephone yesterday to attend the first annual district convention of the Y. M. C. A. of western Oregeu: Mr. Noel H. Jacks, general secre tary, Portland, and wife; Messrs. So per and Gwilt, East Portland; Messrs. Maris and St. Helens, of Newberg. The conference will discuss practi cal questions relative to the advance ment of the cause in general and it is to be hoped that great good will ac crue from the same to our local asso ciation. The programme for the day through out will be an interesting one and the public are cordially invited both ladies and gentlemen. Parties who have prepared their contributions for the collation to-night will kindly leave tlie same this after noon with Mrs. Bremner ono door south of the Y. M. C. A. It is desired that those ladies who will assist will meet at Mrs. Bremner's at 4 o'clock. Prof. K. K. Warren and other dele gates are expected to-night from Port land and will probably make addresses bsfore the Kescne club. F. M. Warren is the proprietor of about 40D acres of land nt Wallace's island, on the lower Columbia, which lie bought for a seining ground. It bids fair to prove valuable for a stock farm, for he now has 10D acres planted in hay and has stocked the place with horses and cattle. zie, which was sunk in the Columbia river, near Coffin rock, by a collision with the steamship Oregon, on the morning of December 28, 18S9. Her next duty will be to raise the British ship Barnard OaUle, which sunk near Kace Bock, Victoria. B. C, about three years ago. Capt. White law has gone up there now to make the necessary arrangements, and until he is heard from, the steamer will Te main here. Her machinery is very heavy and powerful for it is used for many other purposes than simply driving the scr.nv propeller. There are six pnmp. four of which are eight-insh, one is twelve-inch and one has a deliv ery eighteen inches in diameter capable of discharging forty tons of water per minute. These are used in pumping out sunken vessels thus permitting them to be raised. There is also a dynamo machine by which electric light is furnished to two large arc lights, which can bo placed anywhere on the steamer to light up the surrounding waters when they are working on a wreck. The same ma chine also furnishes small electric lights for all parts of the steamer, and a recently invented electric light which can bo submerged and carried around under water by the diver, when he is investigating a sunken ves sel or looking for lost articles of valuo beneath the waves. The steamer is also a regular marine fire engine, for she carries several thousand feet of hose, and to her powerful ship's pump, eight different lines of hose can be attached, for the extinguishing qf fires on adjoining vessels, or buildings near a dock where they can be reached. - There is a hand machine operating an air pump to supply fresh air to divers when beneath the water, and also a steam air pump for the same purpose, capable of supplying fresh air continuously to six divers at once. There is also" a -portable forge on board, so that they can do their own blacksmith work at short notice. In the way of chains, ropes, cables, hawsers, blocks and tackle, and a pow erful winch, the steamer is fully equipped for hoisting and handling enormous weights, anything as heavy as thirty tons, or even heavier. She caines a crew of eighteeu men, several of whom are expert divers, and all thoroughly fainiliar with their pecu liar line of work. A diver's suit or armor is a singular looking uniform, and though well cal culated for the use required it could not be worn by a cavalryman, a foot racer, or indeed for anything else but diving. It requires considerable prep aration to have a man ready for the plunge. First to be put on over Jut orJm iry clothes, ii a complete rubber garment which cavers him entirely, except his heal and shoulder?. Around the latter at the top of the suit is a rim of rubber some two inohes wide and a quarter of an inch thick. Over h"s head is then placed a copper collar weigh ing twenty or thirty pounds, and this is riveted or screwed to the rubber rim above mentioned. Above this he wears a huge copper helmet within which Iiis head can turn, and which has windows on the sides. This hel met is fastened to the copper collar by thumb" serews. On his feet are then placed heavy shoes with thick soles of lead, which weigh about twenty-five iounds each. Around his waist is then buckled a broad lelt weighted with lead, and this is atKjut fifty pounds more. To the helmet is attached the rubber tube through which he receives fresh air, and in the side of the helmet are patent valves which allow the escape of the air after it comes from his lungs, thus insuring a constant circulation of air. His entire armor weiglis nearly two hundred pounds. He is now ready to descend and is lifted over the side of the steamer, and lowered slowly to the bottom, where ho-often remains four or five hours. A eode of signals is arrauged, and a cordJastened to his waist enables him to communicate with the men above. Four jerks of the rope signifies that he wants a slate and pencil, and when this is lowered to him, he writes upon that any communication he desires to make or a request for any tools and it is hauled up and read and his order is filled. Notwithstanding the great weight of his suit, the diver can walk around on the bottom without much inconve nience, yet out of the water he could scarcely walk at all. Familiarity with tho busin06s renders the men -so ac customed to it, that its perils are not considered, and they are a jovial set. Among the crew of tho Whitelaw are several excellent musicians, and on the occasion of the writer's visit last evening, they were having a regular string band concert Oregon Laud Co. to D. H.
