Wise directs attention to the matter of straw huts, in another column. The State on Sunday took 281 cases salmen: Seaside, 100: Occident, 1; G. W. Hume, 180. Geo.

The 17th of May will not bo allowed to pass unnoticed, Scandinavian residents-celebrating the anniversary of the union between Sweden and Nor way by a ball at Peter Mattson's this Tuesday evening. .w For the first time for many months it was yesterday unnecessary to have an office or room fire to keep com fortably warm. "An east wind and a bright sun made the shady side of the street pleasant, and ice cream, fans and summer clothes weie in demand. As for the grass and flowers, one can almost hear them grow. For a city of 7,500 people, Astoria lays claim to the. front rank in the list of manufacturing cities of the Union, proportionately to her popu lation. Where is the other city of no greater population that has over 30 large manufacturing establish ments, each giving employment to from twenty to 150 employes? Col. Woodford addrecsed a large union temperance meeting at the op era house last Sunday evening and again at Liberty Hall .yesterdiy evening, at whioh place the meetings will close this evening. He is an eloquent speaker and has aroused considerable interest by his addresses, over 400 having signed the temperance pledge since he began here, ten days ago. "Why, they told me it was. always raining in Oregon r said a delighted lady passenger on the OregojiSundsy morning after giving the writer a graphic and glowing description of the lower bay and the magnificent sight presented by the" sunlit waters of the Columbia as seen by her for the first time. She said the view was worth crossing the continent to see, and she was right. Some of the leading canners on the river have contributed ten dollars apiece as a fund for Wm. Arnold, the celebrated hunter, and to-day he goes to the month of Elk creek, about nine miles from the Seaside, where, with his trusty rifle, he expects to -wage a war of extermination against the seals and sea lions that are such a de structive nuisance to the salmon in teres ta of the Columbia. City assessor Dickinson has about completed the city assessment roll for the current year. It is a tedious job, and one that requires, persever ance and patience to successfully ac complish. For instance, A. gives in lot 2. blk 1,265, and it is assessed to him: presently comes B., who gives in the same lot, forgetting that it was sold for delinquent oounty taxes; ihen O. Appears with a claim to pro prietorship of the same" lot, founded on a tax title from the city at a former sale. Each one intends to do right, but who to justly assess the lot to, and to getthe lot assessed to some one is the question. The assessor is, however, equal- to the task and has succeeded in getting the matter in plain shape. Attention llooki.

About eleven o'clock last night Albert Thompson broke jail and escaped. He had been in confinment since April 19tb, awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of theft of clothing from the Anglo American Packing company's prem ises. A visit to the jail showed that he had wrenohed the bar from tho door of his cell and gone to the northwestern corner of the jail; here he made a hole through tho planking and pried out some of the upper course of the stone foundation, mak ing a small hole for a largo man to get through, but sufficient for egress. The officers were immediately notified of the escape. C Suicide. DR.

An unexpected result of the inter state commerce law is the immediate and serious reduotion of the receipts of the Pullman company. Almost all the people who traveled on railroad passes paid tribute to tho Pullman sleepers. They could afford to make themselves comfortable as long as they had no railroad tickets to buy. Now by far the larger part of the great army of dead-heads stay at home and many of those who aro forced by business necessity to trav el manage to get along for a single night in the day coaches. An old Pullman conductor on the N. P. told me lately that the estimated loss to the Pullman company by the abolition of tho pass system was thirty percent, of its gross earnings. On the N. P. he thought it would be fully fifty per cent. 2j' JT. Smalley in Northwest. . JKFF'S United States Restaurant is the. best and cheapest irf Astoria. Telephone X.o'ijriiijr House. Best Beds in-town.

"What would you like to have, sir," asked tho waiter, flipping the table with his napkin. "Well," said the solemn man re flectively, "gimme some ox tail soup." "Gimme the same," said the dog. The waiter's face assumed the color of cold boiled veal. "Cup o coffee and plenty of milk," went on the solemn man. "Gimme the same." said tho dog. The waiter shuddered, and, turning, fled for the kitohen. A man with a squint at an adjoin ing table was "much interested in the scene. He had observed it closely, and finally spoke to the solemu man. "It must be a fearful lot o' work to teach that dog to talk, mister." "It was," said the Bolemn man. "I should think so," said the dog. The man with the squint was much impressed. He bogan making wild offers, and when he reached $200 the solemn man relented. "Well," he said, "I c.in't refuse that I hate to part with him, but you can have him.'"' "He'll be sorry for it," said the dog. The man with a squint drew a check for the amount, whioh he gave to the solemn man. Tho man was" about leaving when the dog cried again: "Never mind. I'll get even. I'll never speatc again." He never did. The gentleman with the squint was tho proprietor of a show. The solemn man was a professional ventriloquist. Buffalo Express. Indigesion or Constipation.

On the 13th iust., tho life-crew man on tho lookout saw one of Warren's boats tossing about in the break that is caused by the new spit extending from Sand Island toward Peadook spit. Tho lookout immediately dis charged the signal gun, calling the crew to duty. The man clinging to the fishing boat heard the signal and waved his hand. The lookout dis charged the signal gun again to let the fisherman know that he was seen and would be helped. Practice makes perfect; every man of the life crew went to his place ard were soon away, pulling with machin.s-iie pre cision, and in a very short time had saved the poor fellow who was nearly exhausted. His partner was washed away when the boat first struck. The Heath sisters performed, last Saturday evening, in Kathleen Ma vourneen, to a good house.
