It now appears that the much dreaded petroleum, in stead of form ing a menace in the shape of in creased fire hazard, when applied to wood renders it less likely to take fire. At least such is the opinion of a recent writer on the subject He claims to have tested this point by experiment, and found it there is any difference between the two, the oiled wood is less liable to take fire, as there is less of a combustible fuzz to form on the surface. The petroleum enters the pores of the wood and renders it more like cedar. Apply it freely with a coarse brush, and in a few weeks, when it has all soaked in and the surface be comes dry, the surface can be pain ted. Nevertheless it is hardly likely that petroleum will be extensively used as fire-proofing for inflammable sub stances. It will need more than the dictum of one scientist to rid the peo pie of tho old lingering suspicion of the treacherous qualities of kerosene Notice to Mariners. Portlakd, Or., 15th October.

TIB AT MAINSAIL. The Whitehall Boat Rai-c Won by The "I'ridp of the Columbia." The six Whitehall boats that sailed for the Occident and Hansen cups last Saturday sailed the same course yesterday with a more definite result The morning was just right for a race the breeze being if anything a little too f re3h. It blew straight from the northeast and raised the whilecaps on the stream. Half past eleven was the time set for the race, but it was an hour after that time when all the preliminaries were arranged, the breeze steadily slackening all the time and when after considerable backing and filling the boats finally got around to the starting point the breeze was anything but a satisfac tory one. The programme this time was that the boats should anchor in a line op posite the east end of Cass .street wharf and at the word each one slip the anchor marked fov a buov and bo off. The boats drew for order of posi tion, they being when read-, sixty feet apart on a north and south line, Tohnson's boat farthest to the north, then McCormick's, Ciirran fc Nel son's, Turk's, Brown fc McCabe's, Welch's being nearest the dock. There was a large crowd of people on the docks and aloug the water front to see the race that has been the chief topic of conversation for the last two weeks. At 12:2G:30, v. M., the starting gun was fired: the wind blew in puffs and the start was anything but satisfac tory, Turk's boat got the lead and held it for some distance, being n tack ahead of the others, but when abreast of the 0. 11. & N. dock fell off and lost the advarilage. The buoy opposite Booth's cannery was round ed in the following erder: Pride of the Columbia, 1:17 .-20; Parole, 1:18: 22; Jno. L., 127:12; Bonnie, 1:33; Harry Bingham, 1:11:10. For the next half hour the race was not par ticularly interesting, the wind dying away to a dead calm about the time fhfi'hn.ils not abreast of tho West Shore mills. At about half tide there I sprang up a breeze from the west that steadily increased and made the finish an interesting one. The Fort Stevens buoy was rounded by the Pride of the Columbia at 2:34:53; Parole 2:13:02: Jno. L., 2:50:50. The race was nov evi dently won by the Pridf. of the Columbia, it being ouly a ques tion of difference in time of ar rival. As they came their sails draw ing and the green water sparkling in the sun they presented a fine appear ance. The judges' bout was passed m the following erder: Pride of the Columbia 3:03 I Parole 3:19:50 ! Jno.L 32S Following is the judges' decisien: DECISION. Astokia, Or., Oct 10th, 18S5. The judges " decide McCormick's boat Pride of the Columbia, won the race, and is entitled to the Occident cup, first prize. Cnrran and Wilson's boat Parole, won the second place, and is entitled to tho second Hansen cup. prize A. W. BEKItY AD.Wass. .1" T "Hrr-rc It was a good race, fairly run and fairly won. Considerable money was in the pool box and the winners and losers were alike satisfied that tho race was a good test There was some talk yesterday evening of a race for 250 between the winning j boat and the Harry Bingham, in an eighteen mile breeze. The Pride of the Columbia is a good specimen of a Whitehall boat. 1 She was built by Dick Leathers of this city, and like others of Astoria make, she shows good construction. She was sailed by Jas. Hess, who re ceived a good many compliments yes terday on his skill in handling his littlecraft. The cups, which are handsome tro phies, were duly presented to the winners. Gustav Hansen had pre pared an additional testimonial in the shape of a large silver medal, finely engraved, which was finished after the race by the insertion of the name of the winning boat and handed, to Hugh McCormick, the owner of the boat, who very appropriately gave it at once to Hess who eailed the boat and won the race.

Inquiry From a Prominent llnine Packer Itcganlins the Feasibility of Packing Them at Astoria. Under date of October oth, one of the leading fish packers of the stato of Maine writes as follews: Editob Asteriax: In your issue of Sept. 12, '85, 1 was struck by an item regarding the quantity "of small herring near tho mouth of the river, and you thought they might be packed for sardines. On this coast of Maine are many fac tories for the canniug of herring as sardines, and the demand is very great I have often wondered if there was any demand for sardines on the Pacific coast, and if any kind of fish were taken on the coast suit able for packing as sardines. I am the senior partner in the Packing Co., and our business com prises the canning of sardines in oil, mustard and spices; mackerel in all styles; lobsters; blueberries and veg etables of various kinds. Thinking the matter all over after reading your item. I concluded to write yon to see if you would kindly refer me to some responsible party who could give mo the following information. 1st Are there any weirs for tak ing the herring? If not, how are they taken, and could quantites be had say 300 bushels per day on an aver age? 2nd. Would like to know about the size, as it is requisite to have a herring about 5 in. in length to make a good article. .Vrd. Would like an estimate of the uumljer of cases sardines (domestic and foreign) sold annually on the coast, said cases containing 100 cans each. 4th. Price of plain tin 1-1x20 in., per case, and the average wages per day of men and women? 5th. Is any concern on the coast in the tin decorating business? Gth. How far is it from Astoria to the month of the river where the fish can be taken, and at what season most abundant? I enclose you sample sides of sar dine cans, viz.: jLj oil, )4 and flj mustard, for which we have a good demand. My object in trying else where would" be to get a new aud good market and be the first on the ground. If you will kindly refer this letter to some party who will inter est himself to gather tho information, I will consider it a great favor. Yours, etc., . The above is giveu publication as the readiest means of complying with the gentleman's request. Any one ! desiring to make a move in the mat- can obtain fuller particulars upon inquiring at this office. ONIOX PEAK COAL. Chas. Bobertsonof Garibaldi was in town yesterday and gave us some interesting information about the early prospecting for Onion Peak coal which is now attracting consider able attention. Mr. Bobertsou savs that himself and Hiram Terwilliger of Portland, prospected this coal fifteen year3 ago and run a tunnel into the mountain near Crawford's some 27 feet, tho vein which they followed measured 3ft 9in of bare coal when they quit work. They have been waiting like many others, for a railroad to carry it away. Mr. Bobertsou reports that there are three larcre. distinct veins within five hundred yards of this place. Tho tunnel was visited bv himself three years since and fonnd to be in good .'condition excentincr a little slide at its mouth which would need to be removed before entorintr. Thomas Dean, Geo. Dean and others, run a tunnel at the same time into tho mountain about three miles southwest of the Robertson Terwilliger tunnel and reported that they had good sized veins. Mr. Yaughan of Tillamook, Geo. Handall and others worked some veins some distance below Robertson's previous to the time that Eobeitson worked. Mr. Cloutrie is prospecting this ground now. Large veins have been found some three miles north of Crawford's. This field which has a known diameter of five mile3 lies about half in Clatsop county and the other half in Tillamook county. The Ouion Peak trail, has recently been opened by coal prospectors and those who wish to see the coal can ride thero from Grimes' or the Sea side. IS Crowth in Heathen Canyon. People who have an idea that corn won't grow in this valley should visit the rooms oi tne state ooaru ol im migration, and examine a half a doz en stalks left there by J. F. Fletcher, of Gales creek, Washington county. The only objection to this corn is that the "shucker," in order to get the crop, would have to use a step ladder or go horseback. It is six feet to the lowest car and eleven feet to the highest. The tallest stalk touches the top of a fifteen foot pole. The corn was planted in May, and yields sixty-five bushels to the acre. This corn was raised up in Heathen canyon. Oreyonian. A Great IHscovcry That is daily bringing joy to the homes ol thousands by saving many of their dear ones lrom an early grave.

To remove by the action of water a sand bar which is subject to tho tremendous movement of the sea seems anomalous, but nevertheless water is the agent which is now being employed to plow up and level off one of the greatest of the sandbars which obstruct the entrance to New York Harbor. Tho apparatus wherewith the work is done is called a water plow. It is tho invention of General Boy Stone, who commanded the Bucktail Brigade during the civil war. He had been impressed by observing the effect of a jet of water in the operations of hydraulic min ing. Tom Conkling, an old diver, went down on the reef to try an ex periment He carried a hose which was attached to a powerful force pump. Tom Conkling said, as he went dewn: Its no use trying." When he landed on the reef, nineteen feet below the surface, "he strapped tho hose to his waist," says an ac count, "and held the nozzle firmly between his knees, with the end pointed beyond his toes. He pulled the signal string once, and the water was turned on. In less than a min ute came two violent jerks, and then three rapid pulls. That meant to shut off tho water and hoist him tip. As ho reached tho float, Tom Conk ling, panting and pale, took off his helmet and said: 'It'll work, General; it'll work. If you hadn't turned the water offl'dhavo been in China by this time.' Tho water had bored a hole in the reef under Tom's feet, and ho had sunk to his waist before the stream was turned off." Campbell Grew "Weary. A glove fight for the entire receipts of the houso took place at the skat ing rink in Olympia, Saturday even ing, between Harry Stewart of Seat tle, and Jack Campbell, a logger, employed near that city. Stewart weighed 110 pounds and was sec onded by Professor Dutchey; Jack Campbell, the logger, weighed 155 pounds. The contest was under the Marquis of Queensbury rules. Short ly after the opening of the first round Campbell knocked Stewart down, and struck him whilo on his knees. A foul was claimed and allowed by tho referee, L. Martin; but Stewart chose to continue the fight, knocking Camp bell down thrco times in quick suc cession. Just before tho first round closed Stewart struck Campbell a right bander on tho jugular veiu, knocking him to tho floor in a heap. When time was called tho Olympia niau did not come to time. He was weary. Half an hour later ho awoke and was informed that Stewart, who fanned him to sleep, had won the fight. Ho was surprised but perfectly satisfied. Ilard Times.
