C2) ASTORIA. OBtGON; FRIDAY...... ! f 2. tS37 Oeegon -is the geographical center of the American republic. In the last twelve years the United States has received ,600,- 000 emigrants .from the old world. American war ships get their water from the Dismal Swamp. It remains pure and sweet for years in any climate. It is reported in "Washington that seven men have beeipiom ised second place on the ticket by managers of the Blaine movement. Olsen, the murderer of Mrs. Lyons, is s-upposed to be in this vicinity. But this is no warrant for indiscriminate shooting on the part of amateur detectives, at any man who happens to look like Olsen. is again to witness a standing fight between the authors of the war of 1870. Bismarck Jand the emper or's grandson William, it is said, are at the headof the war party. Unfortunately the latter is fast becoming a personage of the first importance in Geiman affairs. The reasons for this are twe: The emperor no longer plays a great part in the conduct of Germany's foreign policy, and the crown prince suffers from cancer, and is not likely to live long. This youn Prince William, who is aottve and ambitious, presents himself as the near heir to the imperial throne. -Jle is clearly the oower to be reckoned with. It is tolerably well known bis vote is for war, and perhaps it would be safe to say that the chances of an immediate rupture are no less than at the most dangerous part of the period between 1881 and 1887."

He can also play a mouth organ either way. It is extremely difficult to appreciate to what extraordinary uses Mr. Depfor could not put his peculiar powers. As a permanent police whistle he conldbe a screeching sucoess. He could also drain a eohooner of beer "without taking breath" as most people are obliged to take it, because while the amber- liquid was gently and continoualy gurgling down one Evenue, the possessor of the silver tube breathing apparatus would bo calmly indulging in his regular res pirations.

An electrical authority states that there are scores of places where roads are seriously proposed. t m ' O'Beien has provoked the same ""'character of opposition in Toronto that was" provoked in Belfast. Parnell's persuasive and dignified expositi m of the case is prefer- fthln. und. in the loner run, more successful in every way. i i Railway property now const! -' tutes about one-fifth of the accu mulated cipital of this country, gives employment to 630,000 peo ple, and moves 400,000,000 tons of freight annually, one-half of which is food and fuel. Society is so compaoted to gether, that, whether we would have it so or not, we must be and are our brothers' keepers. No man's family is safely intrenched against vice and crime and the shame and wretchedness to which thev lead.- Let the outcast and the criminal be forgotten or dis regarded, and our whole society will suffer from the taint of hu man degradation. The transcontinental lines fin ished their meeting at Chicago last Wednesday, agreeing to put into effect the west bound rates pro posed May 7, based on $3 first olass from New York to Pacific coast terminals. The Chicago rate will be 80 per cent, of the New York rate; Missouri river, 70 per cent, ajid St. Louis 96 per cent, of Chicago rate. The new tariff will hold, unless the commis sion refuses to make suspension of the fourth section permanent, in which event the tariff put into ef fect April 5 will be restored. H. Lyens, the husband o the wom an murdered by Pete Olsen at Napa, nn1n.. last February, was in the city yesterday. Few murders on the coast nave attraotea more ueuuuu than this, it being unprovoked ana under circumstances of peculiar atrnmtv. A disDatoh to The Asto bias from Napa, last Tuesday, said that Peto Olsen, the murderer, was reported to be in Portland. Lyons is completely wearied out with the search for hia wife's murderer, having ranged California, Oregon and Wash ington in vain pursuit. He says that he is sure Olsen is here somewhere on the Columbia river; that his chances for escape are better in this vicinity than anywhere else on the coast. Olsen arrived at Tacoma three years ago on a foreign vessel and fished on the Columbia for two sea sons, mere is :j,duu rewaru onereu for bis arrest Mr. LvonB. when asked about the kilkne of Siebert. who his murderers thought was Olsen, said it was a most terrible affair. The Carvers were two, and armed, and conld have cap tured the man they thought was Ol sen without killing or wounding him. Regarding the killing of Siebert, it is aiuwu mm. uis wuiucmio hcicu w badly mistaken as'alleged. Siebert wasn't wanted there and his land was, and his unfortunate resemblance to Olsen made a very good excuse to get Siebert out of the way. Lyons scouts at the idea of Olsen's being in California. He says, the man is around here somewhere. It is now throe months since the mur der and as yet no definite clue has been found to his whereabouts. Half a dozen men have been arrested, and one man killed on suspicion; he has been hoard from ineveral places, but so far, is at large. Lyons starts home to-day. One of the officers of the Tdalto saysthat on the last trip of that ves sel to Alaska, a man answering close ly the description of Olsen, was a passenger for Juneau. m m -- A Palp Mill at Young' River Falls. I have made a new acquaintance in the culinary line during my visit to New York. A dish which I never had heard of was served to ns at the table of a man who considers dining in the light of a high art. This rare and most attractive of delicacies is noth ing more nor less than beaver's tails, delicately stewed in a bechamel sauce. They were served as an entree, and are, without exception, the most at tractive article of food that I have "met in a twelvemonth. This dish was highly esteemed by the old governors of the Hudson Bay company, and in these days, when" beavers are soarce, they are considered as rare and pre cious as roo's eggs. The flavor is more like terrapin than anything else, and the quality of the flesh resembles that of a nreen turtle. I never saw a beaver or- hi3 tail, save on this oc casion, and so can form no idea of its size and how many tails it takes to make a salmi, but if ever any of my readers who are artistic, as was my host, in matter of food and drink, has an opportunity to get around a bea ver tail, I advise him to grasp the op portunity and 'eat the tail.

Call of the 18th takes '.occasion to remark editerially: "The hard facf.that the Canadian Pacific has contracted to carry next . week 8,000,000 pounds of sugar from San Francisco to Minnesota .and Michigan is the bpst answer to the fancies which Senator Rea- ""'garr has just ventilated in his reply to Col. Morrison. The Canadian line takes this sugar at rates which the interstate commerce act for bids American lines to meet. It is not hampered by "restrictions about -long and short hauls. It goes into the market, hnds a lot ot sugar seeking transportation to the east, makes a bid for the traffic and gets "it, and the consequence is our -American roads lose a business in which they might be making money and employing labor. Senator Reagan thinks this all right, for, says he, with characteristic legic: 'It is the business of congress to protect the people against wrong -;.' and oppression.' A little more 'such protection and there will bei less internal commerce to protect." Geemany and France, it is thought will eventually drift into a war. Says an authentic cable gram: "The party which must be ; described as dominant in Ger imany is bent on provoking France into fighting. Russia is to be squared for the time, and Europe About three weeks ago, a represen tative of a Santa Cruz, Gala., paper mill was in the city looking for a suitable location in this vicinity for a pulp mill. Preliminary arrange ments were then made, and the mat ter has reached that stage that war rants publio mention of it. The gentleman who is in charge of the project is a representative ot R. M. Brain & Oo.. now proprietors oi a DBDer mill at Carlitos. Santa Cruz' Co., Gala. The Young's river falls, held by a bond for a deed by J. M. Oliverson. has been leased for ten years, and a pulp mill will be built there to be ready for operation July 1st, The estimated horse power is 400, and when running at its full ca pacity, 250 horse power will'be all that will be required. The idea "is to Bring the water around and above the present falls, thus gaining a greater head. The water will be supplied by the Co lumbia Water Co. The mill will start with a force of about fourteen men, and there will be at first four sets of grind ers, though buc, and probably eight, sets will be in use after a time. At first the capacity of the mill will be six ions per day. The material from which the pulp is to be made is spruce timber, inexhaustible quanti ties of whioh can be obtained at little comparative cost.
