A kilted Highlander came down on the Telephone yesterday. "Wonder how they strike matches in that ;ostume. C. J. Trenchard has purchased a solid gold badge to be used by the foreman of Astoria Engine Co. No. 1. It is worth $ 23. The Y. M. C. A. have a new secretary engaged. He will be here next week. His name is D. L. Buterbaugb, and he comes from Elsinore, San Diego county, California. Our magnanimous Uncle Samuel has recently promulgated an order reducing from S to $4 the fee for publishing final proof notices in homesteads and pre emption claims. Frank Surprenant says he is going to have The Astoman's front steps cush ioned. As it is now the fattest man has the softest seat, and takes it with him at the close of services. The smoke is reported so thick a short distance above Uatblamet as to inflame the eyes and make breathing painful. Down bore the air is clear and pure enough for anybody's use. The story comes pretty straight, that a corps of railroad surveyors nud en gineers started at Hunter's Point last Thursday morning working this way on a preliminary railroad line. There was a rich girl in Dubuque, Who was wooed by a moneyless duque, But she said, "Please your grace, I don't hanker for place." And his ardor received a rebuke. Rev. Thomas M. Gunn of Walla Walla, sy nodical missionary for the Presbyter ians of Oregon and Washington is on a visit to our city and will preach morning and evening at the Presbyterian church to morrow. Messrs. Uarnahan and Morrison are working along with a force of men on the line of the county road fromOlney. They expect to get through with the entire work this season, if the fall rains do not set in unusually earlv. Talk about luck! The Spokane Falls Review had its office in the midst of what is now the burnt district. Three weeks ago it got a new outfit and moved just west of where the fire stopped last Monday morning. It was the only pa per in bpokane Falls not burned out. The Evening Press of Seattle, now sells for two cents half a cent less than the Mobnisg Astobian. This is because paper is cheap. If the English free trad ers succeed in getting hold of all the American paper mills, ana organize a "trust," paper will go np with a bound. Earnest Gross, in jail at Portland for shooting John Miller last Monday morn ing, hps confessed his guilt. He says that he shot Miller in self defense. It is thought that Miller will die. Gross worked at the Occident hotel here for some time, and was a quiet, inoffensive young man. 'JOne hundred cases of salmon were put up in Seattle yesterday," says a big headline in a Seattle paper. That's busi ness. Astqria, however, has put up a hundred time's a hundred cases of sal mon in one day, and not thought much about it. It was genuine salmon, too; all wool and a yard wide. Pat Killen, the pugilist, and several of his party were arrested at a San Francis co theater last Thursday night while giv ing a sparring exhibition. They were afterwards released on bail. Captain Short, who made the arrest, said it was caused by Killen's offering to knook out a man in four rounds. And now are being distributed the jjqbOQl district No, 1 assessment blanks: sometime, when we get civilised, one man will do ttio assessing for school, city, county, state, poll, road, and the whole blamed business, and when one pays his or hers or its taxes they are paid and done with for one year. Two Columbia river fishing boats have started full sail for Coos bay. The men have already distinguished themselves by coming around in their boats this gqmmor from Gray's harbor. Three years ago twq boate started from here- for San r rancisco, put their experience was of a nature to deter any further attempts of the same kind. Complaint is made to The Astobian that, a lot of men are nsning witn gill nets all the way from Brookfield to Cape Horn. This is tough on the law abiding fishermen who tied np their boats on August 1st. An effort should be made to have the law equally and uniformly observed. There's a big kick about it, and no wonder. Men and supplies leave to-day for southern Oregon coast canneries. J. W. Hume takes on the Dolpliin to the Si uslaw about 75 men: Al Reed takes about 50 on the same vessel to Gardiner on the Umpqua. Fifty and thirty cents is un derstood to be the price for the season. Win. Kyle takes some, mostly Chinamen, on the Mischief for Florence. "There was lashins of good aitin" at the Jbne3-Nord6trom wedding at the opera house last Thursday night. A big long table, seating 70 people was set in front of the stage, and as fast as one set of 70 got through, the seats were filled by another 70. Eating went -on from 1150 to 3:30 yesterday morning, and the fragments filled several baskets. A circular has been received, signed by "William Stone, the acting com missioner, and approved by secretary of the interior J. "W. Noble, setting forth that in the future pre-emptors must re advertise four witnesses to their having pre-empted land in cases where those originally advertised have been unable to attend at the land offices. The excitement regarding the Black Diamond has simmered down. The gov ernments of Canada and the United States have been officially informed of the matter. A general impression pre vails that nothing will be said by the American government, and that the cap tain of the Rush was well aware that the schooner would never enter Sitka. A cliD-tongued, clever swindler is do ing the country, having for his tools a very fine picture in a heavy gold frame, ana ne promises 10 give one line u ui iuu family, from a photo enlarged, to any one who will buy S3 worth of Medical Lake soap. He usually catches the wo men with that picture and they come up with their pin-money like little men. The Multnomah came down in charge of Capt. Wes. Whitcomb at eight o'clock last evening, and goes to the Sound to day or to-morrow to go into the service of the Port Blakely Mill company, bhe oricinallv cost 25.000. She is the best boat that the Sound has got from the Columbia river, except the T. J. fatter, which latter it is hard to say where she belongs. There was a large audience at Ross' opera house last night to see Laurence & Conner's comical comedy company in "Fun on the Bristol." The singing and dancing were good, and the fun, of which Harry Conners, as "The Widow O'Brien," was the center, was of a con tagious kind. The company received deserved applause throughout, and will appear again this evening. Robb & P?rker have at last struck the right chord to the purse of the working man by offering choice lot3 in east As toria, which joins the city on the east, at $40 per lot, 10 cash and the balance in monthly payments of $5. These terms they offer for one week only. Twenty lots were sold yesterday. Take the county road over Tongue Point and look at this property, then call and buy. Fires are raging at present in various sections of the county, says the Mist, and along the Columbia river. A great deal of the fine timber has been destroyed, and the loss in this line will be immense. Thousands of acres have been burned over, and many who have made oath that the "land 'sought is more valuable for its timber or stone thnn for agricultural Eurposes," feel that their investments ave proven disastrous. A Silurian of date li. (J. 42, told the writer yesterday that it made him "crazy" to have us forever talking about "progress," and "building up the place." Like enough. It would he every way very much to his credit if he did go crazy. A being erect on two legs and bearing the outward form of a man, who holds the opinions ho does, could claim a charity now denied him if he did plead crazy. Pity is always preferable to con tempt. ' Again Tau A:rron:x extends thu olivo branch of jence over the troubled sea of internecine disagreement and suggests harmony. "Unitod we stand; divided we fall." Let us pull together. Forget per sonal spleen and ancient grudges and stand in for tho development and prog ress of tho town. It is the only way to win. If a good many devoted their" en ergy tn that instead of trying to hold back and keep back thoso who want to get across the. dead line. Astoria would soon forgo to tho front in great shape. If you can't help, for heaven's sake let go and get out of the way. "I notice," said an Astorian yesterday afternoon, that a good deal of fun is be ing made of tho captain of tho Hush in putting just one man on board the Black Diamond when ho seized her in Bearing sea, because that prize crew of one man didn t prevent nor from going to ictoria instead of Sitka, whero she was sent. Now, I thought I'd call The Astobian s attention to the fact that in such cases a prize crew always consists of one man. It was a prize crew of one man, Harry Weldon, that Capt. Abbey put aboard his captures from the Corwin, in '8C, and on other occasions it is a prize crew of one man, which is supposed to be the same as a filo of marines. I was with Capt. Abbey in '86, and have seen other vessels similarly seized, and it is always a prize crew of one roan that is put aboard." Says the Seattle Postal iUolligcncer; "The jack salmon which run as far as this harbor were worth twenty-five cents last year. However, they will be some what lower this season. Tho silver-sides which run all over the Sound, nearly, were worth ten cents a piece last year. Their value will also be lower this season. The reason for the decline in prices is because the carriers cannot afford to pay high prices when the market will not per mit it, and again salmon will be extreme ly plentiful on the Sound this season. The run of fish which has just hegpn will last until December t though wo will continue to put up fish as long as we are able to obtain them. On the Sound the haddoes which have just put in an appearance run until tho latter nart of the month. The jack salmon then ap pear, ana xney in turn are superseded bv the silver-sides. The last to appear are the dog salmon, but these cut but little figure. When a fire breaks out the first min ute is worth from $25,000 to S25.000.000. The first five minutes at the Snokane fans nreiasc aunday night cost about two rnilljon dollars a minute. There wasn't o breath' o$ wind' when tho 'fire started, a dead calm" prevailed at the time and the spectators supposed the firemen would speedily bring the flames under control. This could have been done if proper precautions had been taken, but the superintendent of the water works was out of the city, and for some reason the men in charge failed to respond to the call for more pressure. The heat created a current of air and in less than half an hour the entire block of frame shops was enveloped" in flames', and burning shingles and other debris filled the air, igniting several adjacent blocks at the same time. Then the town went, solid briok nnd granite being in effectual. Proper work during tho first two minntes would have saved tho town. TO DISPEL COLDS. Headaches and Fevers, to cleanse the system effectually, yet gently, when costive or bilious, or when the blood is impure or sluggish, to permanently cure habitual constipation, to awaken the kidnes'S and liver to a healthy activity, without irritating or weakening them, use Syrup of Figs.

"WHAT IS SEWS 1" AFcwRemarksOnAnlnterestinzSnbjecr. What is news? this is asked in every college where journalism is taught as a profession, and answered in every news- Tjaner office where journalism is prac- ticed as a means of standing on tue , milkman, and purchasing loot gear ior the baby. News, rigljt here in Astoria, is what is going on, occurring, transpir ing, taking place, eventualizing, being done, happening. Is there a birth or a death in your family? That is news. Is there any sickness? That is news. Is anybody visiting you. or are you going to visit anybody? That is news. Are you going to startle the town by build ing a new woodshed, or by painting your fence? That is news. Have you refused two clergymen in a two hours visit to subscribe $500 to the new hospital'and offered them 25, which they refused? That is news. When are you going to baptize the baby? That is news. What did you say to your husband when he came home from Moore's theater the other night? That is news. Are you going to buy a new bonnet this fall, or are you going to make over the old one? That is news. Have you proved up on your timber claim yet, and are you going to sell it when you do? That is news. Have you taken any spiritus frumenti since last swearing off? That is news. Are you going to vote for Stockton or Kinney next Monday? That is news. Have you bought your winter's wood yet, and do you prefer spruce limbs or vine maple? That is news. Did you get left on that last lottery drawing? That is news. Are you still getting Bancroft s history of the Pacific coapt? That is news. Is any one from Portland or Salem stopping at your house? That is news. Are you going to get married, or rln vnn know anvbodv that is? That is news. There are lots of just such little ictas, all making up what is called news. Now if you know any news, don't con ceal the fact from an anxious world, but gently reveal it to a newspaper reporter either by word of mouth or in writing, and he will see that it is welded together in column rules and good shape, and there you have it and can read it at a glance, instead of bothering your busy neighbors by asking them "what's the news." . . Loknlitemffis what makes the princi pal feature of a local paper. The Lon don Times is most interesting in the lo cal letters it prints. Be not backward, therefore, in coming forward. Let your light shine, and help make the local paper by telling it the news that it may tell it to the public. "Tho news" means what is happening to and among people now on earth. PERSONA I. MENTION. J. Q. A. Bowlby returned from Portland yesterday morning. Mrs. A. Montgomery returned yester day from a visit of two months with her son, John A., at the Willapn. Henry Sherman is very sick with in flammatory rheumatism, so muoh so that he had to bo taken from his room over the stable to tho home of his parents yesterday. Fresh Fashion Fancies. Large bonnets are things of the past. The brims of sailor hats are very narrow. Eel green, a lovely bluish shade, is tho latest. Tho newest red is a dull shade called Eiffel rouge. Toques grow smaller, and are more worn than ever. Black silk stockings are in good taste with any kind of dress. The Sir Joshua fichu grows in popular ity and in fashionable favor. Large, loose bishop sleeves of lace are frequently seen on silk bodices. "Capentine" is tho name the French give to all large low crowned hats. Shoes are worn both pointed and square, but pointed ones are the more in vogue. Pale blue is fashionably combined with dark green, and pale green with dark blue, Epaulettes and shoulder knots grow more and more fashionable as tho sea son advances. Tho dressiest hats are made of tulle, lace and silk gauzes over very slight wire frames. White laces are restored to fashion able favor, but black and colored ones are also in vogue. Ihe popular hat of tho passing month is the light sailor hat of straw, in any color preferred. Combinations of green and blue nre very fashionable, but one or the other color must be very dark. Umbrellas and parasols are sold in en ormous quantities just now at bargain prices all over the country. The soft silk sash is the boon of the passing season to women who must wear their gowns of last summer, Sunshades in bright yellow or dull red silk are mado very becoming to the bearer by a lining and flounce of black lace. Lace hats and bonnets, the frames 911 which they nre made, nnd the laces to cover them with, are selling at bargain prices. The gigot or leg-of-mutton sleeve, all in one piece, and with its fulness at the top wrinkled around the arm, is the growing favorite with Paris dressmakers. Bodices of bright cashmere aro worn at the seaside with plaid mohair and taffeta silk shirts. Th.e bqdioos and sleeves are as elaborate as the skirts are plain. Maybe So; Maybe Not, Montbeal, Aug. 8.

"How about that railroad iron?" "Five flat cars left St. Louis yesterday for this city, loaded with railroad iron. These cars are simply fitted up with rnn ning gear, and after they get here in Astoria, will be made into passenger cars. They would cost 730 a piece for freight if they were shipped that way, but as it is thereis no freight to pay, as they, carry the iron on which we pay freight. There is also a lot of railroad iron for the Astoria and South Coast road shortly to bo shipped from Chi cago.1' " hat else can be told a waiting pub lic to-morrow?"
