These last he states, are being run into a phonograph, and when the phonograph is full it will be sent to Bismark. There are said to be twenty differ ent varieties of Alaska salmon. The best of them, compared with the salm on of the Columbia river, is as moon light unto sunlight, or as water nnto wine. Tho Columbia river salmon is unapproachable in delicacy ol flavor and in commercial value. oeiaom at inisseason ot the year uaa me water in me lower Willam. eiio buu miuuie uoiumoia Deen so low as at present The fact that the weather has been so fine, and so little snow has fallen in the mountains will make inland navigation a matter of aimcnity. lhe school directors of districts ISO. One, Nine and Eighteen are re Iieved of any trouble about school books in Astoria. The new school law takes care of that, and vests the power of selection of school booka in the county superintendent in districts or over l.uuu inhabitants. "Encourage the beautiful, for the useim encourages itself. Which is why we throw a little spray of cold water on the government in sending out its official envelopes with "Wash ington abbreviated, thus: "Washn." That won't wash: make it Washington straight.

A new pro pellor towboatis building at Port land for towing the barges, and will be finished about May 1st. Sho will be 90 feet long, 18 feet beam and 9 feet hold, and will bo all same tng. The Yaquina Republican thinks that Astoria will never get a railroad to the outside world as long as the O. R&N.Co. and Portland can prevent it. A railroad from Astoria that would connect with the transcontinental lines would play havoc with Port land's commercial supremacy and spoil the river traffic of the O. It & N. company, and that the people of As toria will have to construct the first railroad they get and overcome out side opposition. Next week, says the Oregantan, the rack will be put in at the fish hatch ery on the Clackamas, to prevent the salmon -from ascending the river any higher than the hatchery. There are now in the hatchery, ready to be turned into the river about 500,000 young fish, making the total number hatched since last August, 5,500,000. It is expected that the output for this year will be between C.OOO.OOO and 8,000,000 young fish. All depends on the run of salmon. The bill for the better protection of the salmon and seal fisheries of Alaska,-which is now a law, provides that the president shall issue a proc lamation annually, to be published in papers at different ports on the Pa cific coast, warning all pereons not entitled under the law to engage in fur seal fishing or to" commit depreda tions in the waters of Behring sea owned and controlled by the United States, and fixing penalties for any infraction ot the law. Governor Pennoyer is going to ap point a board ot medical examiners who will examine all medical di plomas as to genuineness and ex amine applicants not in tho posses sion ot diplomas and to issue certifi cates and notify county clerks of the same. All medical practitioner must register their rjatnes in the clerk's of fice. Any itinerant vender of medi cines shall pay u license of S100 a month, nnd whoever violates the pro visions of the act or presents a bogus diploma win be subject to hne or im prisonment. Says a Portland paper: Now comes the Wabash & Pacifio railroad com pany's engineers, twenty-five of them and camp in the Cascade mountain pass where the celebrated Oregon Pacific road expects to work through nnd they tell a contractor of the Ore gon Pacific that they will soon have their road located; that it will go to Albany ana thence northwest to con nect with the Astoria & South Coast railroad near Tillamook. It may be got up lor eiiect. ot course, but m theso times one knows not what to ex pect. Those interested are urging the speedy establishment ot the proposed haven of refuge at a point near Bar low, Alaska. A building will be erected under the direction ot the revenue marine service. It is proba ble that Captain White, now on de tached service at Oakland, Cat, will be detailed to do tho work, with the advioe of Captain Healey, of the steamer Bear. The amount appro priated for the building is $15,000. It will be devoted to building the structure and providing the previa 'ions and fuel. Mike Murphy, one of the wealthy men of Tacoma, was arrested and lodged in jail the other day for being so drunk that he couldn't distinguish when he was on his feet and when on his head. This condition has become almost second nature to him and is one of the evil results ot the rapid rise in property valuations. When arrested Murphy had 81.140 on his person. A few years ago he was the owner ot some land in the neighbor hood of Tacoma. which he vainly tried to sell for 8600. Now his wealth r is estimates at S750,000. The amended game law makes it a misdemeanor to hunt, kill or pursue deer or elk in this state at any time between the 1st day of November and the 1st day of August. Also to sell or destroy deer or elk at any time for the purpose of obtaining their hides, horns or hams. Also, every person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor who shall sell, or offer for sale, or trans port, or carry for the purpose of bar ter or sale or exchange, the hide or skin of deer or elk, or who shall sell or offer for sale or have in his pos session, or offer to buy any elk or deer during the time above specified from November 1st to August ist. The Puyallup Commerce wants its readers to believe this: On the Hunt railroad, near Walla Walla, they were blasting in a cut. The contractor had several kegs of nitro-glycennce in an underground place. A work man went in to get some and left the place open. By and by some hogs came along, and one slipped into the place where the combustible was kept The hog found a keg and filled him self. He came out by and by and wandered into a stable which con tained about forty horses belonging to the contractor. The hog got to fooling around the horses' hind legs, when one of them gave Mr. Hog a good kick. The concussion started the business, and not a single vestige was ever found of the hog, of a single horsp or the stable. James Abraham has sold a tract of five acres near E-ist Portland, valued at S25.000, to the Methodist Epis copal church for 310,000, on con dition that they erect thereon a hospital to cost 8100,000. The terms have been accepted and work on the building will commence at once, but only a portion will be built this sea son. Mr. Abraham provides that when the tract is surrounded by the city, and it ia thought advisable to re move the hospital, the ground may be sold, bnt the proceeds must be de voted to erecting and maintaining a hospital in or near Portland. The Sisters of Mercy lately bought a five acre tract in a sightly place west of the city for 830,000. where they will erect a large and handsome brick hospital, the present St Vincent's hospital, being surrounded with buildings and the site ou longer suitable for a hospital. No Change In The Situation. Nothing new transpired in regard to the strike of the steamboat men yesterday. There were a num ber of the strikers gathered at the rooms of the Masters' and Pilots' Association, talking over old times when the O. S. N. Co. controlled the river and making not very flat tenner comparisons in regard to the style in whioh Captain Ainswortb, a. U. Heed and R. It Thompson managed the steamboat business and the way it had been managed since by railroad men. Then the boats made fortunes for their lucky owners, and officers who attended faithfully to their duties re ceived many an extra check as en couragement, occasionally their sala ries were raised, while now-a-days their cry is that the steamboats made no money, and it had been cut after cut on wages. One aaurtliat tho reason the steam boats did not make a good showing was that the salmon for shipment east was carried for almost nothiner in or der that the railroad might get more ana make a better showing. Another remarked that the com pany had let opposition get in and then tried to run it off, losing a great deal of money in the operation. lhe general omnion exnressed was that the river division orient to be cut loose from the railroad, and be put entirely in the hands of a practi cal steamboat man, and then it it could not be made to earn money the company would better sell out to some one who could make it earn money. Oregonian, 11. A Grand Concert. It is fully admitted by persons who have heard the pupils of the public schools sing, that the concert they are to give, with the aid of a large number ot our best singers, at the opera house on Thursday.

If we know all the methods of ap proach adopted by an enemy we aro the better enabled to ward off the danger and pospone the moment when surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances the inherent strength or me Doay sumces to enable it to op pose the tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to such an extent that there is little or no help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all the difference between sudden death and many years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs, give that old and wellknown remedy Boschee's German Syrup, a earful trial. It will prove what thousands say of it to be, the "bene actor of any home." A Grand Concert. Prof. Pratt's concert announced for next Thursday's evening promises to be a grand affair.
