Major Thomas H. Handbuiy, of the United States engineer corps, has sent his annual report to the chief of en gineers at Washington.

All of this is news to the members of the firemen's association and the directors of the fair association in this city.

An ex amination of this will give some idea of the extent of the change that lias taken place.

Of the salmon, 2000 cases came from Labouchere bay, consigned to the Aberdeen Packing company. The vessel goes to Portland to-day. Rat He Delivered the Property. Many old Oregonians remeaiber Jesse Applegate, 4,thc sage of Yon calla' Iu the early days just for accommo dation he would" provide meals and lodgings for such travelers a3 chanced to travel his way. It was an annoy ing custom with a certain class of stock-dealers who frequently went over the road to offer a $50 slug in pay ment for a night's entertainment, and if the change could not be given they would settle iu full the next time they stopped. One day a fellow whom Jesse Ap plegate had spotted offered a slug in the usual way, saying he avos sorry, but really that was the smallest coin ho had about him. " Tm sorry, ten)," replied the host, 'for I haven't a bit of change in the house. " 'Oh, never mindreplied the guest, I'll hand it to you as I come back." "But mavbc I'll never sec you again,' suggested Applegate, ignoring the hand outstretched tor the cight- cornered coin. ' 'Yes, yon will. I'll be along here in about a week,' said tho other. "Oh, well, iu this case I'll just keep the slug, and when you come back I'll have tho change for you,' replied the old gentleman, and putting the piece in his pocket he bade the stranger good morning, with best wishes for a prosperous journey and a safe retuni. That man didn't try to fool with old man Applegate any more. LADIES, ATTENTION !

It is cjuite probable that a fur llior oxieiiMon of the wharf mav be nccessarv during the coming year. In ! the vicinity or the jetty large accre tions havo taken place, both on the north and the south sides. Tho indi cations are that the ueach will soon be moved out-ward on a line running southeast from a point near the pro jected end of the jetty. Most of tho area included in the triangle, Ixmnded by this line, the jelly and the high water line at Point Adams, is now bare at low water. There arc between three and four square miles in this tract. The sand is also bnilding up on the north side of the jetty. With the view to ascertaining definitely the effect that the jetty was having upon the bar at the mouth of the river in September and October last, a thorough hydrographic survey was made. This extends from Tansy point out ovpr the bar to the deep I waters. The map made from this j survey has been puonsned, and copies distributed to pilots and ship captains visiting these waters. A comparison of this with the survey of 1SS5, made about the time the jelly was com-i menced. shows that great changes have taken place on the bar in the interval between the two surveys. The most marked change in the interests tilied the traps, removed them and sailed up the Columbia with them, delivering the property at Hanthorn's cannery yesterday morning. There was a scow there, too, along side the traps, but he let that stay. "A little oyster saloon on Third av enue just above Tenth street, New York, has succumbed to the hot weather,' says an exchange. The owner has hung this sign on the front windew: "This place closed Tor the season. The oyster will now take a rest." The Astoria oyster never has a vacation. It's a good deal like a news paper man, in that respect. The reef on which the steamer Sardonyx wes wrecked off the coast of British Columbia has been round to be a result of earthquakes of recent date. The relief steamer Princess Louise could not get nearer than two i miles. TnTHTV TEAKS' rKACTICE This is what you ought to have, in fact, j cm must, have It, to fully enjoy life.

The city attorney said that only 73 taxpayers had returned the proper blanks to the assessor. He explained that though leaves are torn out, the names of all taxpayers are included in the book. The whole matter of the assessment roll was then referred to the com mittee on ways and means, the city attorney and assessor, to revise and report "to the council, and all com plaints from property owners were so referred.

The distance is now only one half mile as shown by the recent soundings. The estimate for the construction of this work submitted by the board of engineers, whose general project for the improvement was adopted in 18S4, was 3,710,000. Of this amount there has been appropriated to Juno 30, 1890, SSG2.500. There was a balance on hand at that date of 21,451.86, ex clusive of outstanding liabilities. The balance will be barely sufficient for the needs of tho work until the end of the present July. It is imperatively necessary if this work is not to be suspended, that a portion of tho funds that are to be provided lor its prosecuiion miring mo year ending June 30, 1S91, be made available at an early day. The progress made nnd the results obtained with the funds already appro priated are beyond the most sanguine expectations. A revision of the esti mate for completing the work based on the experience gained in what has already been accomplished, will bring the total cost for obtaining a channel from twenty-eight to thirty feet deep across the bar far within the original estimate; provided always that funds are available for pushing the -work. It seems to me now that with a con tinuation of favorable conditions as regards funds and the forces of na ture, striving as they have been doing to build up the sand on both sides of the jetty, the work can bo finished with the additional appropriation of 81,000,000.
