Anything that correctly describes the methods of tLc Columbian ac cording to its own definition i "filthy." Before the Columbian disputes what The AsroniAK says and asserts that its correspondents and informants are "liars" and "drunken laborers" it hnd better investigate a little. The Salem Statesman hits the nail on the head when it says: Had Port land "stood in' with Astoria earlier, probably she would not now have such formidable rivals on the Sound.

The body will arrive here to-day and the funeral will take place hi this city to morrow. Deceased lady was .about GO yenrsorage, and an old resident of this county. The Columbian is again publish ing imaginary interviews between the proprietor of Tnc Astoulvk and other parties. Belter confine yourself to reporting facts, neighbor. Others sometimes allow their imagination to soar a little, too. It is imagined by some that the Columbian made a mistake in libeling Laborer Bichard- Jesse James, a man arrested last evening for being drunk and disor derly, got into a predicament in the city prison. In same manner known only to the prisoner, he got his head through the wicket in the door of his cell and there he stuck. Loud yells by the doubly imprisoned man at tracted the attention of Chief of Police Barry who found it necessary to procure a blacksmith and cut the wicket larger. It was hard ou the drums of the prisoner's ears, but the work had to be done. The Columbian yesterday morning was evidently very much worried over the nature of a communication which called that sheet to account for will fully maligning the character of an honest workingman whose only offense was the fact that he had furnished The AsToniAX with interesting news which the Columbian did not have. It the Colum b fai will persist in try ing to libel everything of news they see in this paper exclusively, and everybodv who shows a preference to have their correct information appear in TnE AsToniAX, they must expect to feel the lash of indignant subjects of their libelous accusations.

The representative of the New York Mail and Express who left that city April 10th, in a paper canoe to travel as much as possible by water to this city is having a hard time of it. He was due here last month but is not here yet, being now on the upper trib utaries of the Columbia. Coming down the rapids of the Missoula river his experience was any thing bnt agreeable judging by the following account. Attempts have been made to navi gate the" Missoula river and Clark's fork, but no white man ever succeeded in descending the Missoula river over the 100 miles of canyons and rapids between Missoula and the point where that and the Flathead river join, form ing Clark's fork of the Columbia. Indians have occasionally descended during high water in the spring, but only their intimate knowledge of the stream and the location of dangerous rocks and whirlpools afforded them a chance of getting through safely. For many miles the Missoula river is nothing but a succession of whirl pools and rapids. Everywhere are the wrecks of canoes and rafts and canal boats. This year a great number have lost their lives in the deadly undertow which is below all rapids. At this season of low water all the sharp rocks are exposed and the diffi culties of navigation aro much in creased. Prospectors and hunters urged the canoeist not to attempt to descend, and shook their heads upon learning that ho proposed to do it in a paper boat, but the adventurer ar rived in safely this evening, and a great crowd welcomed the Mail and Express canoe. The most dangerous part of the whole voyage has been completed. The canoe was wrecked three limes between Missoula and Lake Peud d'Oreille, once so seriously that it re quired a week to repair the damage, and the intrepid navigator narrowly escaped drowning while attempting to gsiiu the shore. Below here the river is very swift, but better known iu dangerous places, and the canoeist has been provided with a chart made by- an old voyager of the Hudson Bay Company, who used lake canoe-? down from this region to the lower Colum bia river. The canoeist is behind lime. There was no way of learning his where abouts in the canyon, and fears were entertained of his safety until word was received from a messenger from a' survey party in the mountains that he was well but wrecked. "Whether ihe bottle of water which he started with, brought from the At lantic ocean to empty into the Pacific, at the mouth of the Columbia was lost or saved, does not appear, but if he was upset several times it is hardly possible that lie saved his boltle of water. His arrival here -will be gladly welcomed, and a cordial greeting given Ihe bold navigator. Passengers to Portland.

Many new comers are reported to be settling near Gillton. Let us open our gates and let the full tide of immigration flow in. Finer weather than this part of Oregon is enjoying at present is found no where on earth. Fine specimens of salmon are being taken daily by enthusiastic fishermen from the river about St Helens. Newt Perry on Friday last shipped seventy-one boxes of apples to Astoria, and forty-four boxes yesterday. As torians evidently appreciate good fruit Farmers are generally making im provements for the spring. Clearing is being carried on to some extent, and in increased crop acreage over the past year is expected. It is estimated at a reasonable figure that the Carrico valley and other parts of the countv, will produce from 3,000,000 to 7,000,000 feet of excellent fir, cedar and hemlock lumber to the quarter section. It is only a short distance from this magnificent timber to the Columbia river where mills will be located, and the product shipped to all parts of the world. The land when stripped of its valuable natural product, will produce anything grown in a semi-tropical climate, and the quicker the timber is utilized, the sooner wo will have "fine farms and sunny meadows."

Ciiltren CryferPitcler's Castoria THE STORY OF THE OLD WRECK, A Reminiscence of Nearly a Cen tury Ago. jL TtttECK XOJtV JiEJIO 1'ED SOOX. All Astorians are familiar with the appearance of tho old wreck of the ship Sylvia de Grasse, in the Colum bia river above tho "Onion Pacific dock. She iasoon to be removed by the government snag boat, Willam ette, and a description of how she came there is appropriate at this time. The Sylvia de Orasse was an En glish built clipper ship built early in the forties. She was in the Atlantic trade between England and New York, but on the discovery of gold in Cali fornia, she came around the Horn with a cargo of general merchandise and passengers for San Francisco. On the arrival of the vessel in that bay her captain found that lumber was in great domnnd and selling at fabulous prices. It was impossible to obtain any in California so tho Sylvia de Grace set sail for the Columbia river, where a cargo could be obtained at a comparatively cheap price. Tho ship arrived at Astoria, and from there went to Hunt's mill, where she received her load. It was a long time before all of it was received on board On a July morning of 1849 she finally started back for San Francisco with a cargo of 300,000 feet of fine lumber, for which $500 a thousand was to be paid. Beaching Astoria the pilot let go her anchor and unfortunately brought the ship up just over a ledge of rocks. She dragged her anchor on the ebb tide and drifted broadside against the rocks. A large hole was knocked in her bottom and she quickly filled and sank. This hap pened over forty-one years ago, and she has remained there ever since with the exception of such portions of her timlKjrs, as from time to time were removed, until sho had been cut down so that nothing was left above water. The sand gradually settled around the wreck, making tho Bpot a serious obstruction to navigation. AH of her ribs and timbers remaining aro still visible at low tide. Two montlis after her loss her cargo was removed and shipped on other vessels to San Francisco, where the demand for lum ber was stall so great that i sold for over $100 a thonsaud feet After nil these years tho government has at last concluded to remove the wreck, nnd in a few days the last of the Sylvia de Grasse will have disap peared A Popular Proposition. The Salem Statesma?, commenting on the late excellent and sensible ed itorials in tho Oregonian, says: Tho Oregonian is right in its de mand that the Union Pacific build to Astoria at once. And tho best way m the world for that road to build is from a point on its line up about Boise city, through southeastern Oregon, tapping nearly half the state in extent of territory, then through tho pass pro posed to be occupied by tho Oregon Pacific to Salem, thence by tho way of Shcndan and the Grand Bondo to Tillamook county, and on to Astoria. This would at once be tho best paying line in Oregon, that would one day rival the New York Central for volume of business, and it would be in a posi tion to take in every nook and corner of the state with feeders. The quick est way for the Union Pacific to do this is to buy the Oregon Pacific. And if the Union Pacific don't do it, some other big road will, as sure as you're alive. A Romance Iu Italics.

He Tests a California Production. Hlg Report. A Et Louis gentleman ivhose affliction was sick headaches was so surprised at their cure by Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, that ho called it to the attention of a relative, who happened to bo Dr. F. A. Barrett, the well known St. Louis physician of 2S52 Shenan doah Street. Tho doctor saw at once that It differed from the potash preparations in that it was purely vegetable, and becoming inter, estcd, began a series of investigations, and In a subsequent letter candidly admitted its curative properties, and cays: Wishing to test its virtues further, I used it In my own family, and prescribed it for patients who required a general system regulator. As a result, I can say it is an almost absolute euro for constipation, oil lousncs, dyspepsia, indigestion, and sick hcadachos. -These troubles usually come from a disturbed condition of the stomach, and bowels, and Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla Is tho best laxative and stomach regulator I have ever seen, and as & general system corrective is almost perfoctlon.
