He holds an extra session of court at Hillsboro, next month, and goes from there to Oregon City. There is a scarcity of amusemont this fall, and prospect of its continuance this winter. Astoria is noted for the posses sion of a local talent, both musical and histrionic. Isn't it about time to organ ize and have another home dramatic so ciety this winter? This little globe of ours is getting to be so covered with means of quick and cheap communication, that a passenger can be carried from Liverpool to Astoria for $80 via CunardLine and N. P. It.lt., in better shape and time than a king oould command a century ago. The Eugene City Register, a clean-cut, square-toed, eight-page weekly, is receiv ed. It takes considerable sand to start a newspaper these dull times, and Messrs. Hodson & Yoran deserve commendation for their enterprise. The paper is a bright one, and talks loudly for Lane county. A stormy day on land and sea was yesterday succeeded by a stormy night. The wind blew in fitful gusts and the rain fell heavily. At midnight came a lull, the clouds parted and tho stars shone out. There was but little doing along the docks and a comfortable fire side was the favorite. The duty on the steel rails for the Ore gon Pacific railroad has amounted to about $117,000. According to the Stand ard, a proposition was made by this com pany that if the duty was remitted they would improve the harbor, but the secre tary of the treasury informed them that he had no authority to make the change. A few days ago County Superintendent Higgins set aside a portion of district No. 1, forming a new school district, to be known as district No. 23, and the citi zens of Uniontown, wishing to have the benefits of a school as soon as possible, are making preparations to put up a suit able building. Col. Jas. Taylor has do nated suitable grounds, and the district will soon have a new school-house. There is an individual in tho city who has all the characteristics of a first-class crank.

Ui Intereotiii? sud ProbaMy Successful Exjierinont. The work now in progress on tho beach in tho vioiuity of Point Adams light house has occasioned considerable in quiry, owing to its novelty and evident value if successful, and with a view to noting its advance, an Astokian repre sentative visited the scene of action in the early part of this week. The primary purpose of the work is to cover the sand with a vegetable growth that will hold it firm nud prevent the constant drifting and formation of hills and hollows, that are gradually encroach ing on the light-house reservation and threatening to cover it np. So far the work has been satisfactory. The material used is mainly a spscies of ribbon grass called arunde: this grass has leaves about an inch in width, and grows from eighteen inches to two feet in length. Its stalk below the surface has numerous eyes, from which shoot several sprouts that spread in all direc tions to come to the surface, and form a new stalk with sets of leaves, thus inter locking in a network of roots and hold ing the sand down. This grpss is gather ed on Ilwaco beach by a man named Andersen, who gets twenty cents a bng for the grass plants. Each sack contains about 3,000 plants, and is carried to Fort Stevens. So far, about a quarter of a million plants have been set out. The men at work have be-nm a htt'e below the southwest corner of the forty-acre light-house reservation, and have planted a strip about 1,000 feet wide np the beach. One man makes a hole with a snide, another drops in a stall: of urtni do, and covers it, and fo the process is repeated, the stalks being not from a foot to eighteen inches arl each way. lliev immediately take root, and grow luxuri antly. Last Tuesday the wind blew ."7 niilcs an hour, within a very few miles as hard as it ever blovs there, and the com paratively slight impediment that the young grass offered to the gale proved sufficient to prevent the usual shifting and advance of tho dunes. Beginning at high water mark and advancing east ward to tho timber, the little clumps of gras pres?nt a singular appearance. Ry next spring, it is confidently execfcd, that what was before a strip of &i:ul and desolation, will bo a surface of smiling verdure, as solid and unyielding as an emerald lawn. Beside the grass there is another agent used in the suljjugation of the ever mov ing sind in the shape of a peculiar piuo found on this northwest coast only at the Seaside. This is the pint' j iym ?, or Monterey pine, a hard, black, reunions tree tho "bark of which is not affected by the sand. A large number of baby tre?s, from four inches to a foot in height, huvo been set in sorpentino curves :i!ong tho beach, and in time will constitutoa beau tiful avenue for delightful so.nr.hore drives. Pines of this species pat for the samo purpose in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco, in 1S71 are now ritoai sixty to eight? rain man. The pines being et outar Point Adams are only removed a distance of fifteen miles, are thoroughly acclimated, and will, presumably, grow with equal vigor and rapidity. In that park l,0.'i0 acres of desolate beach have been leclaimed in a manner similar to the plan here adopted. In Golden Gate Park were used lupine, Honolulu knot grass, pimis insigt,vs and acacias. The lupine and knot grass are here represented by the arunilo which is thought to b6 equally valuable on ac oonnt of being found peculiarly adapted. Tho work looks easy enough, but those in charge siy that a great deal of judg ment is necessary in so disposing of all all appliances that the best practical re sults aro attainable. Tho first work of this kind in the United States was that heretofore alluded to at San Francisco. The second was on a strip of wind-blown waste between tho Dalles and Wallula Junction which tho O. R. & N. Co. had sown with wild rye, willows and cotton wood; the work, more especially around John Day's station, being a complete suc cess. The work under discussion is the third of tho kind, and should it be the success it now gives promise of, it will be continued at Shoalwater bay light sta tion and other points on this northwest coast. Tho chief desideratum is to get vegetable material from the immediate vicinity that IS ALIIEAUY ACCLIMATIZED. The fact that the ribbon grass and pine are got so close by is considered certain to insure splendid results in the. reclam ation of the beach in front of Pt. Adams. Parties owning property adjoining, in cluding Capt. Flavel and others intend tjrdoitthe same means of transform ing the beach to tho south'ard, and it may bo that at no distant day, the en tire stretch of shore from Ft. Stevens to Seaside will be a waving lino of emerald green from high water to tho friugo of forest westward from the ocean, thus forming a magnificent drive 1,000 feet wide and seventeen miles in length. There aro thirteen men employed at present, and the extent and character of the work already performed is good guar antee that they understand their busi ness. This has long been a favorite scheme of Capt. Chas. F. Powell, and tho success of this attempt will doubtless lead to its adoption in other localities. Nh) OneofThcraSaId"Oh!"

A GHEAT AND ESDURIG TTORK. ACompletcIIhtoryorTresternSortli Vaicrlra. Mr. Ashloy Bancroft, who has beon with us a few days, says that ho feels un dor great obligations to tho peoplo of Astoria for their courteous attention and consideration extended to him in his la bor of collecting data for Mr. H. H. Ban croft's historical worlcs of tho Pacific statc3. He expresses wonder and surpriso at the enormous amounts expended annual ly in tho manufacturing interests, and of the great importance of this place, and anticipates a rich harvest in gathering facts and figures relating thereto. He is now carefully progressing in his york. That the interests of our well favored section may be properly placed in his tory, as well as tho experiences and rem iniscences of thoso who have laid bare their arms and helped to hew out the history of, our northwest, every assistance should be given him. It is gtotif ying to learn that as ll. H. Bancroft proceeds in his historical series the press, critics and scholars eery where vie with each other in their ex pressions of the great value, absorbing interest and high literary execution of his works. Wo are informed that no volume thus far published, not oven those telling of a past ago and t past civilisa tion, nor those picturing anew the early discoveries, nor the ono detailing tho most striking cpis.nl? that has taken place on this continent the conquest of .alexia nor the one on tho states of Mexico, whose cloo proximity to our country make their history ot more man usual interest, nor even the voinnio on the early missions of California, attract ed so much attention from the press, or has been so much sought after and in quired for as tha first volume of tho "His tory ef tho Northwest Coast. 1513-1SC0," which appeared in July, being prelimi nary to and part of the "History of Ore gon, History of Washington, Idaho and Montana, and the History of British Columbia." The second" volume of the same, bringing tho history of the same section down to 1SW, will appear this mouth. These two volumes, with the volumes devoted to Oregon exclusive ly, which will appear at the proper time, will place tho history of oar State on a sjlid foundation forever. Of tho vol umes mentioned above it takas but a mo ment's perasal of the preface and a glance over the varied table of contents to see what a rich feast is spread before one. The authorities quoted show the rich sources of Bancroft's material and an index in tho second volume will ena ble one to enjoy tho volumes to the full. In tho placing of theso volumes on the early history of this State in tho hands of intelligent and progressive men through out the world, Bancroft is doing this State a service its citizens can never re pay. This work, to the pioneer as a represen tative man. possesses a peculiar charm; their struggles, hardships, and reminis cences, chronicled in history by a man of scope and genius acknowledged to be equal to Prcscott, Gibbon, McCaullay, the great historians of the world. Such an enterprise is deserving of a generous sympathy. The projector can have no sordid moth o; a -very limited amount of sagacity may perceivo the futility of pe cuniary return awaiting work of this character. Tho history of tho work, as well as its contents is of great interest, embracing a vast historical research and attendant expense, and tho enterprise in its philanthropic aspect stands uiiiqus m tho annals of the nation. The Projected O. It. JL N. Lea.?. PnrLADHLPniA. Oct. 9. Tho Press" New York special says: Tho project of the Northern Pacific, looking to tho lease of the Oiegon Railway and Navigation lino has not. according to the best informa tion, been relinquished but only deferred. It continues to bo discussed. Tho Ore gon Navigation Company demands an 8 par cent, guarantee after five years, but tho Northern Pacific objects to paying so much. There will probably be a compro mise. For two years tho guarantee will no doubt be G per cent., for three years 7 per cent., and afterward the dividend will be in proportion to tho net earnings. The general opinion is that the Northern Pacific requires the leaso for its best in terests, which will not bo served merely by building the Cascade branch from Ainsworth to Tacoma, on Pugct Souud, for then it will not havo secured Port land. The Union Pacific would be very glad to secure a lease and has offered bet ter terms than the Northern, but there app?ars no doubt of tho lease going to tho Northern, as it will be to tho advan tageof both corporations. Some of the Navigation stockholders are adverse to a lease to either of tho Pacific roads, being convinced that their interests will be bet secured by remaining independent of both.

The story-telling hour hadjeome when men, not wearied with their four hours' watch, wero sitting in the dimly lighted forccas'lo and quaffing sundry swallows of hot scotch. For even with a captain strict and mate severe, tho jolly Eailors always fiud a chanco to bring on board their ship at port that which 'twould grieve their hearts to leavo behind. And now tho sailers who had been on watch the cnly part of this October night wero anxious to bo entertained by tale of wreck or stories of some gallant chief tains' might. All hands now called on old Benjamin, or "Salty Ben," as ho was chiefly named, for Ben could spin a yarn at any time and as a dealer in romance was justly famed. Pressing the bottle to his thirsty lips a long, a loving pull took Salty Ben, and then he placed the flask away beside the bed, beyond the quiet reach of other men. " 'Twas in the fall of J7C' said Ben, and all the others in their eagerness to hear drew close their stools so as not to interrupt when further on, and each took a parting sip of his good cheer. "I shipped on board the hchooner Betsey May, a three-and-after tight and strong was she. We loaded her with coal in Buffalo creek, and in a howling gale we pnt to sea. With waves and storms wo battled long and hard, bat when eight days wo had been out at sea, our sailors listening o'er tho wind ward bow, could hear tho siren sound ot SkilligallleG. And soon the Beavers and tho Foxes Isles hal far behind our vesol sunk from view, and up before us from the surging deep aroso tho Northern isle of Manitou. Down past this islo of the Indian's God wo dashed with whits spray living high in air, and Captain Jackson, standing on the quarter deck, watched for the land marks as tho shore grew nigh. And soon lie saw tho proper point was passed, so with both hands to shel ter his wide mouth he loudly to the stur dy steersman called, 'head this good ship southwest by south, half south.' And now the wind was square abaft tho ship and mountains high the surging sea had risen. We winged tho main and foresail and dropped the peak to scandalize tho niizzen. Colder and darker grew the autumn night, and every wavo that swept o'er our gallant ship left, as it washed tho ropes, and spars, and deck, a coat of white, like canales in a dip. And soon our boat was groaning 'neath a load of ice that heaped tho deck and clambered up each mast, until sho lost all semblance of a ship, and from each breast all rays of hope were cast. Tho crisis in tho trip had come, when Capt. Jackson seemed to strike a brilliant deal. He called tho crew upon the quarter-deck, and thu3 did to the shivering crowd appeal: 'With your good help this vessel can be saved and sailed between those two Milwaukee piers, but everj- man must do his duty, trust in a higher power, and yield not to fears. Now, who of those on board this ship can givo a reason why tho great United States should have a change in general government, or altera tion in the regular tariff rates?' I can show reasons,' said Mike Donivau, 'why both these things would do the country good.' 'You can do no such thing,' said Jack McGnire, for Jack was always in an argutfyiug mood. And then a row began. The like of it you never in your lifetime saw, and those who knew the least of politics were loudest in expounding com mon law. The clamor that they made arose and drowned the howling of the midnight gale, but as it did tho tempera ture did higher get, and soon the ice's grip upon the ropes and spars began to fail. And down upon tho icy deck, de scending from the rigging high, and frozen sail, great icicles came thunder ing and crumbling scattered o'er the gleaming rail. And those who in debating took no side wero set to trimming s they do on land, and ax and spado did execution good, wielded by this erstwhile despairing band. So o er the monkey-rail and taff-rail, too, and over all tho other rails about the craft, great cakes of loosened icowere fired into the surging billows and soon swept aft. Now as each chunk of ico into the lake was thrown tho vessel high er from tho water raised her bead, and soon as trim as this good ship to-night the Betsey May toward Milwaukee sped. At daybreak wind and sea had calmed a bit, and argument upon questions of the day was stopped because the weather had so sultry grown that coats were shed and sweating brows were mopped. And long before tho evening of that day the BeUey May was snugly in Milwaukee moored, while many vessels quite as strongly built as she sho went down tho night before with all on board." liucIilenS Arnica Salre.
