Fine salmon trout are now caught in adjacent waters. being "Quare dausam Fregit?" asks the Salem Statesman. Betcherlife. Work began yesterday on the new 310,000 hotel on Genevieve street.

There will be a meeting of the stockholders of "the- Pacific Union Packing Co., on the 23rd inst, at 10 A. M. M. J. Kinney proposes to give 500 toward the building of the new hos pital. It is estimated that it will cost 310,000. The "Willamette river has overruled a former legislature and cut a large strip of territory off Polk Co., annex ing it to Marion. Mr. H. Carnahan has left a new sort of grass at this office, that he raised at Olney. If any one can tell what kind of grass it is he can have it. The Multnomah went to sea yes terday and adds another to the list of boats on Puget sound that formerly did ply on the Columbia river. Don't wait for your first success to be to die and leave your widow your life insurance. Get in and give thiugs a boost while you are on the surface. The Winona made the trip yester day in place of the Qen. Canby whose boilers were being washed. The Qtn. Canby will make two trips to day. The Dolphin finally got in from Shoalwater bay last Sunday, and is off for the Siuslaw and Coos bay with a large crowd of men and a big lot of supplies. The seaside travel is something im mense. A good many sojourners stop here, where is enjoyed cool weather and all the comforts and conveniences of civilization. W. A. Foster, who recently lost his dwelling house at Jewell bv fire is re building and expects to have his new house ready for occupancy before the rainy season sets in. There are a large number of seals and sealions along the beach as far south as the Coquille. At Florence, and at Heceta Head they come ashore and bask on the main land. The editor of the Oregon Blade has been given a 1,400 federal position as special pension inspector. He'll have to let go of his paper or the position. No man can do justice to both. The steamer Columbia sailed for San Francisco yesterday with the fol lowing freight front here; 1,845 cases salmon, 1,191 bdls shooks. 80 sks oysters, and 5 tons assorted truck. The Western Watch Tower pub lished at Tillamook is at hand. This is Tillamook's second paper and looks bright. It has considerable local and general news and deserves necogni tion. And now it is proposed to nominate qricl elect two congressional repre sentatives from Oregon next year, ex pecting that on the population shQwn by the census they would be admitted. That would be rather previous. No. 1 Vol. I of the Aberdeen Bulle tin has been received, published by J. W. "Walsh, who started the Vi dette at Montesano in 1882. From it is learned that tne three canneries will be iu full operation by the 15th. The secretary of the treasury has directed that a blue uniform be worn by keepers and surf nen of the life-saving service after September 1st on the Atlantic and gulf coasts and after November 1st on the Pacifio coast The Georgio "Woodthorpe company suffered to the extent of about $2,400 by the Spokane fire. The flames de stroyed every piece of their litho graphs and other paintings, and all their scenery. The wardrobe was saved. From April 1st 1888 to April 1st 1889, 523,978 cases salmon were re ceived at San Francisco by steamer and sailing vessel- For the corres ponding time in '88, 328,897 cs. were received, and for the corresponding time in '87, 304,186 cs. Mrs. Mary Holstein died at upper Astoria yesterday of typhoid fever. The deceased lady only arrived from Finland last "Wednesday accompanied by her husband and three children. She will be buried at Deep Biver to day starting from the Occident cannery. At a meeting of the directors of the Astoria and South Coast railroad last Saturday afternoon three assessments were levied on the increased capital stock, as follews: 25 per cent, payable September 14th, '89; 25 per cent, on September 30th, and 25 per cent. Oc tober 31st Quite an event in theatrical matters will be the appearance here next Saturday evening of Miss Mar garet Mather, an actress of national renown, and a fine company, in "Borneo and Juliet" Reserved seats at the New York Novelty Store next Thursday. Reference to The Astobian's spe cials shows that the Tacnmn tourna ment will be under the co:iii of the N. "W. fiieman's association. It is now in order for Astoria to get in and send one team, anyhow, if not two. No time to be lest: only a little over a month to get ready. Miss "Warren's school reopens on Monday, September second The es tablished reputation of this school, and the satisfaction to pupils and parents, alike commend it to favorable consideration. New classes will be organized in higher branches, and a normal class added. The Sunday Mercury is barking up the wrong tree in its mistaken as sumption that this paper is leading its readers to any mistaken railroad no tions. The Mercury is a little care less in its remembrance of the source of the remarks that it ho zealously chides, that's all. An eminent English surgeon says that "a kiss on the lip ought to be felt for at least twenty minutes afterward, and that kissing produces a sensation which the system requires to keep it in a healthy state." D'ye mind that now. Keep your system in a healthy state. Isn't Oregon, a healthy state? D. A. Mcintosh arrived from Spo kane Falls last Sunday. He lost a little in the great fire there on the 5th, but isn't worrying about it Heays everybody is on deck, and that a newer and grander city will shortly take the place of ruins. The city is now being rebuilt, men working night and day and money is rapidly coming in. Auditor and police judge Jewel t is at Folev Springs. Miss Callie Mun- son attends to his official duties, ex cept the police courts which is pre sided over bv Judge Page, who is mayor of the city, county judge, and ex-offlcio police judgi ,1 ust who will act as clerk at the council meetings is as vet undecided L. E. Selig, prob ably. It is reported that the summer run of salmon in lower Rogue river this year is the heaviest ever known, the river being black with fish, and the catch is so great that R. D. Hume's cannery with all its facilities cannot take care of them. It isn't very diffi cult to take care of the few strays that manage to evade the fish traps and get in to the upptr rivor. Hre is the way they go for tramps at Walla Walla: "The citizens made another raid on the tramps at this place last night Four parties of twenty-five men each, scoured the suburbs, armed with clubs, and beat the tramps from their quarters in barn-yards and fence comers. It is estimated that 150 tramps some of whom were doubtless fire-bugs as well, were driven out of the city." It now appears that the whole of Manhattan island was once sold for less money than a single square foot can now be bought for. But of course noue of us knew it when it would help us aijy. It stanza its jn hand to improve the best opportunities now open. No doubt there are as good chances now as there were 250 years ago. Get in and secure a slice of As toria real estate before it is too eter nally late. The Farmington Register says that a genuine bilk has been doing the farmers in that vicinity, by pretend ing to be selling dry goods, groceries, etc., and in a bill of 100 or S150 he will make a discount, and deliver the goods later, and nil that was necessary was for the farmer to sign a contract to pay for the goods when delivered, which they did, and now find it a note they signed instead of a contract, and that the notes are in the hands of the bankers of Farmington for col lection. The fool killer is evidently needed in Farmington.- Auditor Coxe, of the "Western Un ion Telegraph Co., made an unan nounced visit yesterday afternoon to the telegraph office here and paid manager Henderson a deserved com pliment on the accuracy and thorough ness of all his accounts. Ho was sur prised at the amount of business transacted, by the Astoria gftlce, and said he would take measures looking to the sending hero of an additional operator, an improvement fully justi fied by the large amount of daily bus iness, which is steadily increasing. A letter from a friend in Spokane .balls received last Saturday savs: "All the Astorians up here say if we'd had the Astoria fire boys up here the fire would never have got away from them the way it did. You never saw anything like t. They opuldn't get water enough to break a window glass." "When the fire first started there wasn't a breath of wind, a little smoke went straight up, and a little water would have put the fire out, but alter a block or so had burned, the flames made a draught, and then away they went, and licked up everything. The Salt Lake Herald of August 4th says: The carrier pigeon turned loose from this city op the occasion of the recent visit of the Nebraska Press association, arrived al his "cote in sarety. It was released hero at 11 o'clock in the morning and reached Omaha the nextmorningat 930. The bird sent from Denver at 8 o'clock in tho morning reached Omaha at 425 in the afternoon. The one released at Ogden at 8 o'clock in the morning got home the next morning at 630. The fourth bird was turned loose at Portland, but had failed to report at last accounts. I. H. Taffe, at Celilo sent a telegram to-Spokane Falls that he would fur nish them all the salmon they could oat, if Gov. Pennoyer would grant him permission to fish. The answer from mayor Furth stating that he would accept with thanks the dona tion. Beceiving permission from com missioners Beid and Campbell, Taffe sent forty-seven boxes, each contain inc 150 pounds, to Spokane. If he had sold them at ruhnc prices, they i would have netted him Sl,177. He caught the salmon out of season, just the same as a good many others are doing that are not sending the sal mon to Spokane. A seashore dude is described by a correspondent as follews: "He is clad from head to foot in white linen duck. Two rows of gilt buttons glitter on his coat, a gold band encircles his cap and a golden anchor further en riches it. Even his shoes are of white duck. Across his shoulders are the russet leather straps, to which hangs his marine glass. Alexander Selkirk on his lonely isle never sighted a sail with greater interest He could give Clark Bussel points on nautical terms as he eagerly scans the rig of the stranger and explains her points to the sweet young things who gather at his side and take turns in gazing through his binocular." It is a popular but fallacious im pression that newspapers are just what their publishers and editors make them. They represent the character and merits of the community far more exactly than they do the energy and enterprise of their publishers or the ability and ambition of their editors. It is in the power of the business men of any community to push their local papers forward to a standard impos sible of attainment by any effort of the publishers without their co-operation, and in no other direction can an equal measure of efforts and exper ience be applied with any like equal effect iu advanoing the interests, not only of the community at large, but of "the individual business man him self. "Well, what's the news about the railroad?" is asked a good many times a day. There are lots of rumors but no definitely authenticated news, ex cept one little item which is to the effect that a Chinese contractor named Si Get has a contract signed by Vm. Beid, president of the road, to put one hundred Chinamen shoveling sand and grading on the extension from the original line. They are going to begin next Monday. With them go axmen, etc., and it may be that Mr. Reid's statement that he would have 300 men a.t work on tho road in Au gust will come to pass. It is also said that terminal facilities have been secured by purchase in this city, but as to that nothing definite is as yet learned, and it is no use in publishing uncertain rumors. PERSONAL MENTION'. J. B. "Wyatt is in the city. C. R. Thomson has returned to the city. R. J. Morrison of Nacottah was in the city yesterday. Mike Meyer left last evening for the cannery at Florence.

A visit to the western end of the proposed railroad bridge across Young's bay shows a very unsatis factory state of affairs to an Astorian who has done . considerable talking for this project and who wants to see the road built during the present century. The writer doesn't understand that this bridge is being built for poster pester ity: he wants in his own day and gen eration to have it completed, and though he is at present in the prime of early manhood it looks to him at the present rate of progression as if his boys would get more fun out of that bridge than he will. The contractor wants to get a move on him. Splendid weather is passing by: about twenty piles have been driv en; there is just a start made, and no more. The contractor appears to be a well meaning sort of a man, but good intentions, while they may pave the way to sheol, will never build a bridge across Young's bay unless backed by a litttle executive" abiiiiv. The contractor ought to v.a;: At present lib boiler is too .-iu.!i his hammer or his hammer i- heavy for his boiler. The tsigm. up. for ioo ai.d hammer work like a bilky te in . The hammer is, probably noue too large, but it wants more motive pow er in the boiler, and a little push all along the line wouldn't be amiss. The time for fooling is gone by. Either get in or get out, but don't stand in the door all summer. Exorbitant Rates. Blakely Hall, writing of the ex pense of living in Paris during the exposition, says: "If one frequents the best hotels, as Americans mvariablv do. anil liwa at the restaurants he will find that his breakfast will average about S3, his dinner S6. his late sunner S3, nnrl a single room, with coffee, candles, oatu ana attendants will come mightv uoar S3 a day. In fact he will have to oav about S20 a dav before Iip 1a. gins to spend any money." Ana tins writer adds, m illustration of the way the overcharging is done, that ho. with one friend. viairpil n wr. tain modest restaurant before the ex position opened and paid S1.10 for breakfast.

A, (joqiI P.nsinps-i Fur Aftoiiit. Six schooners loading lumber, four hero and two at Knappton two of the six for Syduey, calls up the ide.i that there is considerable money in the lumber busiuess, for Astoria. The canning iudustry necessitates sending a great deal of money away, material must be bougnt, and even a good deal of what is paid out for la.bor goea away, while in the lumber busiuess nearly all the mniinv reoivwl fnr cargo is paid out to store keepers and empipyes nere, ami the residual profit put in the pockets of permanent resi dents. Few businesses are better for a town than tha'lumbdr business, and few places in North America aro bet ter situated for "tlio lumber business than Astoria, . If you have made up your mind to buy Hood's Sarsaparillarin not he induced to take any other, food's Sarsaparilla, is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by vir tue ot its peculiar combination, propor tion and preparation, curative power su prrior to any other article of the kind. .

"A great man had a dream iu which he made a tour of sheol. Lucifer, here, was showing the visitor the sights, when they came upon -a number of inmates pawing up the ground with both hands and feet, scraping little heaps of earth together. Upon inquiring who they were the old boy said they were Seattle real estate agents. Soon a long row of cages was reached, in each of which a captive wjis chained so they could not see one another.
