Oapt Flavel is having a largo and commodious stable built on the southwest corner of the block on which his residence is situated. County school superintendent Page is in receipt of eighty-eight copies of the new school law, one for each school officer in the county. Plans are now in preparation by competent architects for $100,000 to be put into bricks and mortar and private residences in this city this season. The great Ecres3,Mlle. Khea, and a talented company appear at Boss's opera house next Monday evening. Eeserved seats at the New York Novelty store. Cel: Jno. Adair, Jr., leaves this morning to bring down the steam ferry recently purchased and which is to ply between Smith's Point and the month of Lewis & Clarke's. Mrs." Nancy Welch is having plans drawn for a fine private residence to be erected on the pleasant site near her house, and to be occupied upon completion by George W. Sanborn and family. The O. R. & N. Co. is going to be gin building a.bridge across the Wil lamette at Portland about the first of the monlE:"ThTebriage""wiirbe"6G0 feet long and the draw span 310 feet; it will cost about $375,000. The fact that the Amoskeag engine and the old engine brought from Portland for use while the other was having a sew boiler put in are both oat of servioe, makes extra vigilance necessary in the matter of fire. The steamer Alaskan will be down to-morrow, leaving Portland about 3 p. v., arriving here about 8 p. m. She will lie here Saturday night and go to Ilwaco - Sunday, 26th, giving an ex cursion and leaving here at ten a. m. Henry Sherman aud B. L. Ward are about to build a livery stable 28x 90 feet on the vacant lot between Coroner Boss and Snrprenant & Fer guson's shop, an enterprise which with increased, summer travel cannot fail to be profitable. The arrangements as announced promise a fine celebration of the en suing fourth of July. Every organi zation in the city has been invited to participate in the parade, and thero is no reason why the parade on that day should not be the most imposing ever seen in northwestern Oregon. Rev. W. S. Short and wife arrived yesterday from Hartford. Conn. Mr. Short will hold divine services for the first time in Grace chnrch next Sun day. On that occasion, for the first time in over three years, there will be religious services in all the churches of the city, each one being now sup plied "with a pastor. CapL H. M. Gregory, lately in com mand of the Manzanita, is now in command of the steamship Palatka, running between Yaquina bay and San Francisco. Capt. Gregory has many friends on the Columbia who will be glad to hear of his being oalled to the command of so fine a vessel. . Ejmallpqx is reported in San Fran cisco. Discussing the nnwelcome presence the Bulletin sensibly says: 'The' course io be pursued on the part of 'the authorities is plain enough thorough isolation and dis infection. But for the people at large there is only one safety-the immedi ate vaooination of all unprotected persons." At a school meeting held at the school house in district No. 9 last Mo&day evening, it was deoided that the increasing population of the dis trict made necessary improved-Bchool facilities, and the directors were au thorize to advertise for proposals to loan the district $4,000 to bo applied to the purpose of making the pro posed improvements. Strawberries better in -flavor than in the earlier part of the month are still plenty and 'at low figures as cheap as they probably will be this summer? Green apples and greener cucumbers are ready to wup. Black berries and raspberries are hinted at and cherries are so plenty as to be no losger sought for. Hard green peaches are offered for sale, and, strange to say, find ready buyers. Writing of France in antediluvian times Cassar said : "All Gaul is di vided into three parts." In these times gall is all in one. as is evinced by Tacoma asking Astoria firemen to loan them their hose cart, hose and nozzle in the Fourth of July contests in that city, while refusing to admit the As toria boys in friendly competition on an occasion in which they have been invited by the committee to partici pate. The lumber interests of the lower Columbia are yearly assuming more importance. As the valuable timber area of other sections decreases and disappears, ours becomes of propor tionate greater value, and among the many causes that should hasten a railroad or two into Astoria is the possession by this vicinity of large tracts of most valuable, timber, thousands of acres of which are un touched. Mrs, F. O. Adams, well known to many Astoria residents, died at her son's residence yesterday morning, in Beaverton, Washington county, after a brief illness of thirty-six hours. Deceased was in the 66th year of her age and was widely known and re spected. She was the mother of Mrs. W. W. Parker and Misses Amy and Clarabell Adams of this city, Mrs. Johnson of Eugene City, Judge W. H. Adams of Portland, and Gaines Adams. The funeral will take place at Portland to-morrow afternoon. The southwest corner of Main and Chenamus streets is to be graced by a brick building to be erected there by Capt. George Flavel. It will front fifty feet on Chenamus street, running south one hundred j feet on Main street, and will be three Btories high and will, when complet ed, be an ornament to the city. The architect is now at work upon the plans of the building. To-morrow! the frame building on the south end of the proposed site will be moved next the bakery fronting on Chena mus street and work will be begun on the foundation. Capt. George Flavel has returned from Clatsop. His new wharf at Tansy Point is about finished, all but the fender piles. It is about 900 feet long, a T on the end of it being 150 feet up and down by 60 feet in width. It extends out to a depth of twenty three feet at low water, has a ware house on it, and has cost $6,000 to build. Dyking goes on on the tract of which Capt Flavel owns 600 acres. Mr. Kindred 400, Mrs. Brallier 100 and D. K. Warren 159, which, when completed, will have reclaimed be tween 1,200 aud 1,300 acres of fine tide land. Messrs. Warren & Sutherland are doing some good work in dyking their places on the other side. Taking it altogether there will be over 2,000 acres of good land dyked in that vi cinity this summer. Some of it is land that must be redyked, experience showing that the more slenderly built ds-kes of former years will not stand. On this side Huub McCor- mick and others are fast reolaimini? by means of dykes an area of land mat will be of great value in the near future. Visitors from Pacifio and Wahkiakum counties say that consid erable is being done in the way of dyking in their localities also. The Port Townsend Argus of Mon day says: The little steamer San Juan, built on the Columbia river for the San Juan Packing Co., ar rived yesterday, after a somewhat eventful trip. The captain, Herman Kopperholdt, who it seems had re cently lost his wife and daughter, in dulged to excess in liquor so that on the way he lost his reason, and when nearly to Cape Flattery headed the steamer for Gray's Harbor. The crew lashed him down, and engineer Rowland Davis brought the Bteamer safely into port. The captain was taken to the marine hospital on ar rival here, where ho is being treated for alcoholism. The steamer is a trim little craft of seven tons measur-i mont, with schooner rig to aid her en gines and to supply power if steam gives out. She will be used among the San Juan islands as a tender for the cannery which is located near Friday Harbor. Notice. All members of Rescue Eugine Co.

A good story regarding the great run of salmon in the Penobscot has been the topio here. Many sports men from New York, and even fur ther south, are here with the most seductive devices for fish killing, and thin flies lash the river above and be low the city from sunrise to sunset. Among the native sportsmen who have rivaled the visitors are two small boys, 11 and 13 years old, who are now the heroes of the town. They have an old boat in which they spend all their Bpare hours on the river. For fishing tackle they secured a long, straight stick, like a bean pole, a cord nearly as large as a lead pencil and strong enough to hold a whale, and a small ordinary hook. They paddled around on the river, danglme the worm-baited hook at the end of the rope until they got a bite. The elder lad had the pole, and the fish with a rush almost hauled him out of the boat. The boy was equal to the emergency, and he hung on like an Alabama claim. He yelled to the other boy to pull for shore. The little fellow worked away at tho oars-like a Trojan, while the fish pulled almost as hard as he did. The struggle was a long one, but the boat finally reached shoal wa ter near the bank. The fish rushed about frantically, and the boys could not land him. Finally the boy at the pole, getting the fish near the boat, handed the line to the other and jumped overboard for a hand-to-hand tussle with the game. The water reached to his waist. The little fellow tugged with all his might at the lino', and the other made a grab for the fish. He succeeded in getting hold of it just back of the gills, and he hung on. It was a mon ster and tho boy was almost over matched. The fish wa3 almost as long as he was, but he managed to get his arms around it, partly underneath the gills, and he hugged it frantically. In a few moments he waded ashore and dropped his prey triumphantly on the bank. Then he and his com panion had a war dance. They lugged I tne tisn homo and found it weighed twenty-one pounds.

We cannot doubt that in the end the level route down the Columbia river will win; but in any event the business of the country must come here. In order to compete with its rival the Northern Pacific will find it necessary to drop its speculative schemes at Puget sound aud come for business where there is business to be had. In other words, it will have to make its terminus at Portland as a business necessity. Oregonian, 23. Seven North . American bulls led through the streets yesterday after noon after the arrival of the Tele phone gave rise to various surmises, one being that the Fourth of July committee had leased the court house yard on that day; another, that the aforesaid animals were to be slaugh tered for the barbecue. Investigation, however, exploded these theories and showed that they were the property of Wm. Mclntyre and would be taken on the Clara Parker to his logging camp on the Nasel this morning.
