E35s2ilKU: jattjj gsiovum. ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY. FDRUAIIY 22. 1SS3 Nearly two hundred men are at work riprapping the cast bank ot the Missouri river at Atchison, to prevent that crratio stream from leaving the city two or three miles from its shore by going off into Missouri. . An Atchison, Kan., attorney recent ly fell asleep in court while a case he was trying was in progress. That is nothing strange. In San Francisco jurors often fall asleep while the best jury-fixing lawyers are addressing them. A fabmeij in Piscataquis county, Maine, cut down a tree and hauled it home the other day. When he went to split it up for firewood ho was greatly surprised to find a big bear en joying his winter nap inside the hol low log. . A Coi:i:espondei,t of the New York Herald who has been traveling through the Lehigh region estimates that in l'anther Creek valley 9,022 people are receiving relief from the Knights of Labor, f!,C7C being women and children. Font prisoners, who escaped from a Georgia jail, successfully exerted their powers of persuasion over two bloodhounds that had been dispatched in pursuit, and, after tying them to gether, added another to their list of thefts by carrying them off. . H. Fon half a century no presidential nomination of the Democratic party, whether elected or not, has been re nominated, and the last one to be re nominated, Martin VanBurenin 1840, was defeated by the Fame opponent whom ho had defeated four years pre viously. President Hu.ii, o the Manitoba, lias negotiated for the sale of thirty- five millions of dollars' warth of Man itoba railway bonds. The money real ized from this source will bo used in completing the main lino to the Pa cific coast and in building branches and lateral lines. Five millions will bo expended in Manitoba alone this year. All the big insurance companies are anxiously awaiting the result of Dr. David Ilostetter's trip to Califor nia in search of health. Dr. Hostettcr, who is the vice president of the South Penn railroad, is the most heavily in sured man in the United States, hold ing policies aggregating SS00,000. It is safe to say the Doctor has the best wishes of the insurance companies for tho success of his trip. Tiie United States is rapidly catch ing up with Great Britain in the pro duction of pigiron. In 1880 the Eng lish product was three and one-half times our own; in 18S2 it was almost twice as large, but in 18S7 our product was C,-117,l-18 tons, a gain of about eight hundred thousand tons over the year previous, and only about four hundred thousand tons short of the English product for 1SSG. A large part of this increase is in tlie new southern fields, and it is not singular that the protection sentiment is strong in those sections. Tun Dalles Timci-Moimtuinccr prefers the completion of the lucks at the Cascades to the ship railroad project It says: l,The li-.-' at the Cascades can be complel u much cheaper than the railroad tv "!d be built. At this point the n.ilnv.d is the most feasible project; but at the Cas cades we have the statement of one of the best engineers on the IV.ciGo coast that the work can be bo far completed with 8500,000 that boats can pass readily, and this would not nearly complete a ship railroad at that point. Either of these plans will require con gressional action, and the cheaper the completion of the locks will be the more feasible." Wiiek governor Pennoyer slumped tic state, previous to the last state election, in his speeches ho made a special point of promising to aid the people of eastern Oregon in having the Columbia river opened to the sea, if possible, by state aid. Now there is $500,000 coming to tho state from tho government for claims paid by the state during the Indian war in east em Oregon. If tho joint lease is signed and the railroads continued their arbitrary discrimination against Portland, and eastern Oregon in par ticular, tho Mercury thinks that it would be a wise move for the govern. or to fulfill his promises, made at election time, and, if need be, call a special session of tho legislature and have the money appropriated for opening up the Columbia at the Cas cades and Tho Dalles. At a meeting of the Home Market club of Chicago, senator Sherman, in tho course of his speech on the great issue of tho day "Tariff Reform" said that the ideas of John Eussell oiac Lowell on finance, were as vague as some of his verses. He also said: "I am decidedly in favoa of tariff reform, and always have been, and will always be. The tariff ought to be carefully revised, with a view to correct any in equalities or incongruities that have grown out of a change of values since tho passage of the act of 1883; every imported article which does not com pete with our domestic industry and is essential to tho comforts and wants of our people, should be placed on the frea list; every raw material which docs not compete with our own pro ductions, should be especially selected for the free list; whenever any indus try which can be conducted in this country with reasonable success, needs a moderate increase of duty for its protection, it should be made." SOME SALMON' SUIUHSES. Information from the Columbia river poems to strengthen the opinion that prices for fish will remain m now fixed by the fisherman's union, viz 81.00 $1.23 each. Various jtheo ries aro expressed in respect to the motives that actuated tho canners who first indicated a willingness to accept the terms of the fishermen. It is not, however important to make inquiry in this direction. Tho fact that the cost of canned salmon will by reason o the Inch cost of raw nrc duct be greater than for any previous seasons, cannot now be changed un questioning the motives of any oik". Thus far there is no indication that tho number of c?nners in operations will be much le3s than last year. Somehow men in this branch of busi ness succeed in keeping up oner itions year after year, notwithstanding pre dictions to tho contrary. It makes no difference apparently, that there aro more canners on the river than can bo profitably employed. A few slight changes occur each season, but tho number of canners is maintained. It is generally admitted that fishing must begin later this feasou than usual, as active preparations have been considerably deferred, owing to what was regarded as the extortion ate demand of the fishermen. Tho canning season will be also shorter than usual for lhis season. The only disadvantage in this comes from ina bility to make early delivery of salmon for eastern phipmen'. But at tho price i does not uppear prooaoio any great anxiety is to bo expressed on the part of buyers for early fish. Thus far no contracts of futures aro reported, though one gentleman well informed, informs us he has reason to believe transactions. comprising about 15,000 cases, have been closed on a basis ot about 81.C0 per dozen. Oar informant does not claim to have seen the contracts, but says lib believes tho transactions were made, both on foreign account. Tho brands or names of purchasers uro not made public. We learn of no transactions in futures from any other source, though frequent in qniry is made by eastern and .European buj'ers, as to the market. On present basis, viz about $1.00. it is hardly to bo expected that a move ment will occur until the position is better established. In spot market nothing ha3 developed during the week. (Quotations remain as last re ported, and stock such as it is. is suf ficient for requirements. S. l' Gro cer ami country Merchant. 17. An Abuse Th.it Should not lie AH iwetl Tin plates aro not manufactured in America. Bnt there is opposition at Washington to the proposal to put them on tho free list It conies from a number of persons in Pennsylvania, who want congress to double the pres ent rale of duty, promising that if this is done they will set up a big es tablishment for the manufacture of tin plates. Tho effect, of course, would be to iucrease the price and to pnt an additional bnrden upon can ners and upon tho producers of fruit vegetables, meats and fish, by whom a market is found through the canning business. Congress will not iucrease the duty. What it ought to do is to make tho importation of tin plates iree. io tnis, since wo have no tin plato industry to protect, there could be no kind of legitimate objection. The proposition to increase the duty, so as to enhance tho price for the benefit of a few persons who want to start a manufacturing establishment, is monstrous. But it shows into what abuses tho doctrine of protec tion will run. 0regonian,21. From San FrancUro. A letter from San Francisco, under date of the 15th, says several bids are in to do the work on tho Jfanzanita, and that after they havo all been re ceived they must be forwarded to Washington, and then the contract let; that nothing will bo done this month, and it will bo May 1st before the vessel is back here again. The repairs to tho engino alono will cost fcd.OUU, irrespective of a new crank shaft and a new circulating pump. Says our correspendent: "It takes eight men and six bullocks to put a piece of scantling 40xGxG on a wagon one foot high, at the navy yard. I've seen three men do moro at the Clat sop mill." Communicated. Portland, Nov. 26, 1887. Mr Dear Mr. Wisdem: You have reason to feel proud of the success of llobertinc.

Dement & Co., Astoria, Or. suscobs : on Astoria WHAT IT IS DOING. Founded upon the intrinsic merit of each element which, in coinhiiiaition, proved to be the perfection of cure, its virtues made it what it is. Every Man.Woman and Child in the United States knows it? name and names it as a remedy which should be in every house, for every home knows its value. As a sterling comforter, the truest relief. It Belongs to the Universe. Canada took it up. and in every province it is the standard cure. It crossed the ocean, on demand, and alike in Scotland, England and Ireland, in the extremes of climate and temperature, it is the fame sovereign Conqueror of Pain. Distin guished men and physicians of South and Central America have used and re commend it. and street-criers have sung its praise in verse on the streets of Mex ico. A member of The South African Parliament praised it in open debate, and the same was done by a IT. S. Senator. In India it won its first golden medal at the Calcutta. Exposition, where expert chemists and physicians awarded it its due, and by right it has won in all similar competitions. One of the most distinguished scholars of Germany thought it his duty to praise it, and such lias been iU meed from Pre lates, Potentates and the Press. A distin guished traveler comments upon its use in Egypt. It was the comforter and cure of the lost, half frozen explorers on The Ice of the Arctic Seas. It found its place in the knapsacks of the British soldiers in the Soudan, and it is a permanent supply to the medicine chests of her Majesty's war ships. This would seem enough to show what it is doing, but-J other potent fact can't le disregarded another continent has ix-cn captured J irjtas taken possession of the trade tU- fcz one shipment upon one order tww .nwrralia POO gross were delivered. i-aUf d own as the best i::"- .cincay 2 c for Rheuma lisin, XcuiulEja.
