Commander Farenholt TJ. S. N.; who came down from Portland yesterday, received a telegram at 6 last evening Stating that the Columbine did not leave San Francisco until 6:30 yester day morning. She will not therefore, arrive In this port until some time to morrow forenoon. The Manzanlta will leave port at 4 a. m. today to meet her. The Columbine will go up to Portland on Monday or Tuesday. Don't forget the great auction -sale today at Martin Ol&vm'a. Those desir ing to purchase- bedding or pillows, will be afforded a grand opportunity to se cure bargains. It was reported yesterday In .this city that Jacob Kamm had compelled the Union Pacific to abandon the Idea of placing their steamers on the Port-land-Ilwaco route this summer, and that the Union would endeavor to pur chase the Seaside division o'f the As toria and Eastern road, with a vfcw to turning Its attention toward the Clat sop beach travel and increasing the popularity of that beautiful summer resort. Where the rumor Emanated from, could not be ascertained, but In view of the fact that the I. R. & N. Co. Is in a position to discriminate against the Union in the matfr of rail transportation charges, it is not im probable that good grounds exist for the statement Thursday afternoon Captain Flnley, who carries the mall from Nasel to Sealant In a plunger, had noarly fin ished hlB trip to Seoland when ho "was struck by a squall that upset the craft, which became water logged, and floated down the bay In a heavy sua. The cap tain fortunately got a good hold and managed to hang on. The capsized boat finally stuck on a sand bar where It was seen by Mr. Bell, a clerk in Morehead's Btoi'o. He got another man and a boat and went to the captain's assistance, and after a terrible strug gle succeed In getting him Into their boat In an Exhausted condition. If the captain had not had timely aid he would soon have been washed off and drowned. Captain Flnley was taken back to Nasel yesterday, wheite he will doubtless soon recover. His gallant res cuers were about used up from the vio lence of their effort and were lucky to be successful. Prospects for a Settlement. A meeting of the canners on the low er rlvyr was held yesterday afternoon, and after the situation had been fully discussed, it was decided to make an offer to the fishermen of 5 cents per pound. From the nature of the re marks passed at the meeting It Is highly Improbable that any further conces sion will be made. Some of the fisher men concede ttAi justice of the stand taken be the canners, It being admitted that cases have been frequent where fishermen have sold the large fish by the pound and turned in the smaller ones to the cannery. At the rooms of the C. R. F. P. U. nothing new could be learned. TWi members are determined to hold out for their price. Mr. Jensen, the sect'j tary, said there was nothing to add to what he had said through the columns of The Astorian yesterday morning. In speaking of the selzutte of fish, Mr. Jen sen said The Astorian had voiced the sentiments of the great majority of the union, and reiterated his denunciation of theawless acts of those who had made forcible seizure of the fish. . Ono of the members of thy union, who had Interfered with fishermen who were landing fish for Mr.-Warren yes terday, was arrested by Chief Lough- ery, but beyond this single Instance, nothing unlawful was done by any -of the union men. - A mass meeting of fishermen has been caliVKl for this afternoon to dis cuss the situation and take action on the offer of the cannerymen. There were llttivs or no fish packed yesterday, many of the canneries not putting up a single case. The cannery- m'in feel depressed at the poor pros pect for the season, realizing that If 600 boats should be sent out after the few fish In fh river, there would not probably, ti an average catch of one per boat So long as but a few boats go out, there remains chance for good Individual catches, but should the strike be terminated, the situation, as far as th'a fish supply is concerned, will not be Improved. Be sure to attend the great sale to day at Martin Olsen s. It seems that the great moral wavt; that started in Astoria a few days ago has reached the Atlantic coast, and Is now heard of at Gloucester, Mass., as the following from the Cape Ann Breeze shows: The police of Salem have arrested a man In that city, who was carrying on a pocket bar room system oi liquor sales. It is to be a test case, the out come of which will be awaited with In. terest. The police raided a supposed saloon, but finding nothing contraband, took the proprietor in charge and car ried him to the station. On searching him, threje i'eut bottles containing whisky, a whisky glass, a small tunnel and several corks were brought to light. The pertinent query arises, If arrests can thus be made In Salem, why not In Glouc'aster? We give this tip to the officers, now that they have manifested a determination to do a little raiding. CLATSOP COUNTY'S INSTITUTE. A teachers' institute for Clatsop county will be held at Astoria, begin ning at 9 o'clock, Wednesday momoing, April 19th. There will be day sessions, especially Intended for the discussion of practical theirAn,. and evening sessions of a more popular character. It lasts over three days." The day sessions will be held at the Court street school house and the evening sessions at the Pres byterian church. The object of the In stitute is to have something u&ful and practical rather than ornamental; yet from present prospects, it will Us In- terestlng and lively. A full attendance of teachers from all parts of the coun ty is expected. A good substantial pro gram has been pt'apared, and will be ably carried out" State Superintendent McElroy has consented to be here, and this In itself will Insure the success of thy institute. ' School directors, clerks, and all interested in education, and the public generally will be most welcome at any and all the sessions, day or evening, and may find it a pleasant way' to spend a tew hours, as they will certainly contribute toward making the effort successful. W. H. LYMAN, Sshool Superintendent. DO TOU LIKE OYSTERS?.

The enth'j stock of Herman Wise will be closed out at a forced mortgagee! sale, commencing Saturday April 15th. MORRIS WISE. JEFF'S, .TIOalTvMraitJ Astoria's Future As a Seaport. Astoria should always f,eel proud of the favoiW position she holds as a deep water seaport. Nothing can de prive her of that distinction. So long as there Is commerce between nations, so long will the harbor that Is dvjep and spacious, attract to its wharves the largest ships and steamers. The lm mense steamers of 10,000 tons and up wards, can, In fact, only frequent ports like New York and Astoria, whei'j the erosion of rivers and other causes have formed vast basins in which the world fleets might conveniently assemble, Thu Southern Pacific railroad has re cently recognized the importance of deep water port on the Texan coast by the purchase of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass railroad. This railroad terminates near tha port of Corpus Chrlsto, which Is not far from the Mex ican Worder. It provides the great Southern Pacific system with an outlet for all the products that It can gather for shipment on the Atlantic coast, In Its long pathway from OgcKm and Port land to San Francisco, and thence through the moBt productive regions of California to the fertile plains of Texas. It is noteworthy that the Southern Pa cific has sought and obtained the near est d'aep water port It could acquire" on the Atlantic seaboard. It has already large interests at New Orleans and at Newport News, Virginia, which has noble harbor, but commerce forbids that a railway should haul goods some hurt. dreds of miles wlfen there Is a port at hand where they can be shipped to home or foreign ports at the low rates that pertain to water transportation. The application of this circumstance to Astoria Is clear. The Union Pacific and tha other railroads approaching the coast through Wyoming and Utah will find It to be to their interest to head for Astoria, which Is the nearest deep water port that they can reach north of San Francisco. Every mile that tl.ey deviate from that objective point, places them at a disadvantage In competing with the two rivals, the Northern Pacific and the Great North ern, each of which are already at deep water, in th' Sound. The rivalry of the southern ports Galveston, Velasco and Aransas Pass has elicited some statements that bear on the Interests of Oregon and Wash ington. Thus Mr. Street, who has stud ied the relative Importance of Inland and deep water cities, says: Theie are dozens and dozens of rail road centers In the United States, but only a few of them have passed the 50,000 limit, and all of them must for ever be subservient to the gorging trade of the deep water points where capital and population have made and are mak ing such enormous economies in labor, In living expenses, In facilities for in terchange of products, and conditions for negotiating new enterprises and car rying on old ones. Railroads alone will not make great cities. It Is not In the nature of things that they should. The foregoing statement has been verified In the growth of San Francisco, and will as surely be verified in the growth of Astoria when railroad com munication, combined with river and ocean traffic shall put her on"a level, as legards commercial facilities, with the California metropolis. We meet also with a quotation, from a writer in Bradstreet s which says: A study of the population of the cities of the United States Indicates that deep water navigation Is the father of com mercial greatness."- . : Again, we are told in a document published In the Interest - of Velasco that: "The vast territory tributary to a port where vessels of deep draught can enter and load and unload without the cost, danegr and delay of lighterage and the immense product of the terri tory west of the Mississippi river, cry ing for an outlet to th'a- sea will cause the thinking men - to realize that the place where a deep water harbor and inlet Is already a fact, theie must a great city grow up. The port of Gal veston alone, with. only 13 1-4 feet of water, did a business last year (1890) of $33,766,086. At Galveston .large ves sels must He outside the bar five to eight miles from the city to complete their lading." The manner In which all this applies to Astoria is obvious. So Is the appli cation of the following extract from the same document: "The 76,000,000 bushels of corn raised In Texas in 1888,. sold for $11,000,000 more money than the 76,000,000 bushels raised in Kansas In the same year. Proximity to markets was worth $11, 000,000 to Texas farmers. WORLD'S FAIR TRAVELERS WILL HAVE IT. The public demand throug service when traveling. ' It Is old fashioned to "change cars." On the through, solid vestibuled trains of the Chicago, Union Pacific & Northwestern line from or to Chicago, Omaha .and Intermediate points there Is no change. This Is the finest and fastest service between the points named. NOTICE! Use Zlnfandel wine Intead of coffee or tea. 60 cents per gallon.
