Elder arrived from Seattle and way ports yesterday with coal. The steamer Willamette ramp in yesterday loaded with coal from Seat tle lor rortiano. "Win. Johnson is in receipt of a fine setter dog, "Borrowdale King," from a friend in England. There will be a special business meeting of the Y. W. C. T. TJ., at three o'clock this afternoon. B. A. Seaborg's steamer Volga goes around Shoalwater bay as tender for the Aberdeen Packing Co. "Washington Democrats have bought the Seattle Morning Journal and will run it as a party organ. The final account in the estate of Margaret Miller, deceased, was filed in the probate court yesterday. George & Barker will not can any fruit this year. Their experiment last year was not satisfactory, finan cially. The recent rains have interfered with the transfers of real estate on Benton street, and the wagons are getting greased. While full of booze at Ca3tle Bock last Thursday Fred Booze aged 30 years, severed his windpipe with a pen knife and went hence. The Presbyterian Sunday school will give a picnic next Thursday at Tanzy point, going down on the Eles tric snd returning on the Telephone. The Chinese lottery business is lively nowadays, and judging from the hubbub the Mongolians were making yesterday, some body made a big win ning. The City of Astoria has been laid up for over a week, and has been thoroughly repaired and renovated, and will resume her trips to "West port to-day. Seattle landlords are returning burned out tenants their rent from the Gth to the 30th of June, they hav ing been ousted out by the fire on the former date. The most singular thing seen in a reporter's sojourn in upper Astoria yesterday was a cat at Eric Johnsou's White Swan saloon, which had thir teen kittens. Astoria No. One's tender team de cided last evening to go to the Ta coma tournament Big hangers for the tournament are in town and show up as big as the side of a house. A dainty kid glove, steen buttons, all same as the one that Romeo wished ho was so he might press that fair cheek, was left at this office yes terday morning, and can be had on application. Seashore campers were put out a little at the weeping skies of Saturday and Sunday, but do not expect to break ranks for sometime yet There will be about six weeks pleasant weather on the beach yet. The latest is the Alaska Gold Med al Canning company of Chicago; for catching, buying, dealing in, and can ning salmon and other fishes; incorpo rators, Siegfried M. Fischer, Louis Pfaelzer, and John J. McClellan. Bows of men and boys have great sport on the dock these days catching tonicod, and other little fish, with clams for bait Out in the stream boats at anchor catch, or the occu pants thereof catch, salmon trout. G. O, Moen, long time efficient su perintendent Astoria Gaslight Co. has resigned and contemplates departure, Mr. Moen has made a good many friends in Astoria who will be. glad to note his continued prosperity and suc cess. Chas. A. Jnkster, editor of the Spangle Record, died on the Gth at the residence of his parents in Egypt, Lincoln county, "W. T. The deceased was but 23 years of age, and his young life bore the promise of a brilliant future. Proportionate to the size of the place the Tillamook Headlight is the largest newspaper in the "United States. It is ap eighteen page paper, set mostly in solid nonpareil,' wide measure and published in a town of about 500 people. Thus sayeth the Waitsburg Times man: "To be too fat to work and too poor to avoid it is an extremely un pleasant predicament, but there is one man so situated. If you want to see him, call at the Times office, Admission free; children half price." All the coast craft are busy. The Alliance is off for Gray's harbor with a large lot of cannery supplies; the Gen. Miles goes there also with the same kind of dunnage, the A. B. Field is in from Ooos bay, and Nestucca, and will shortly go out again. All report smoke and fog off the coast. The "Washington republican con vention to meet in "Walla Walla Sep tember 4, consist of 289 delegates, be ing one for each hundred votes cast for Allen last fall, and one for each fraction over fifrv. Tho nenfrnl r.nvn. mittee recommend that primaries be held on August 24, and county con ventions on August 29. Register Apperson, of the Oregon City land office writes to county clerk Trenchard that he has made a rule that hereafter all notices of final proof, and of contest regarding home stead and pre-emption claims must be settled for at his office before being sent for publication, thus avoiding possible complication and delay. The Albany Herald of the 17th says that the surveying partv are completing the 'irelimiuary survey of the Astoria aud Albany railway, hav ing passed the summit of the Coast range. The public need not be sur prised to see men at work on the line from Albany to meet the Astoria and South Coast road within a few months. Some time between twelve o'clock Sunday night and Monday morning the store of L S. Jones, of Oysterville, was burglarized vand all the jewelery kept in the store was taken. Yester day morning the culprit was caught on the cars near Ocean Park, with the stolen goods concealed in a pillow slip in his possession Mr. Jones is at present in Portland. At Seattle the other day a gang of union uongsnoremen retusea to wort at discharging a vessel at 40 cents an hour. Failing to replace the strikers with non-union men, the stevedore was forced to throw up the contract. A number of the strikers then com bined, took the contract at 35 cents per ton, and at the end of four days figured up and found they had earned SI an hour. James D. Leary of New York, will shortly build an immense timber raft in British Columbia, and tow it to San Francisco. Mr. Leary con structed the famous Joggins rafts, one of which was lost midway be tween Nova Scotia and New York. The logs will be obtained from a tim ber limit near the coast. They will be tied together in such a manner as to form a cigar-shapod craft. The Astortav is fnfnrmp1 linf.

But he wrote an honest description of how things looked to him. and savs if lip snirt nnv. thing that made Al. Hayman mad he is glad of it. He also says that the next time ho is goiug to take along an opera glass and a lunch. At a meeting of the chamber of com merce last evening an invitation to attend the commercial coherence at San Francisco on the 29lh iust, was read and accepted, and tho president authorized to appoint five delegates to attend the conference. Several now members were elected: the mat ter of the presence of the revenue cutter, fjnrwin aud of an additional light houa tender was discussed; a committed was authorized to make statement regarding depth of water at the Columbia river entrance, sun dry bills were nudited and the meet- lug adjourned. Regarding the Albany and Astoria railroad, a Mr. Falkner tells the Polk county Observer the people of that seotiou are becoming somewhat ox cited. While coming out he met the surveyors just this side of the summit of tho mountains, making for Dolph (tho forks of the Big and Little Nes tucca wagon roads.) From Dolph they will go down Three Rivers to the Big Nestucca; follow up that stream to Beaver Creek, and up that branch out into Tillamook country, wuen tliey will keep down the coast to Seaside, near Astoria. Dolph is within 11 miles of the thiekly settled portion 01 juuue ixestucca. A party of B. B. surveyors are com- iug this way says the Nestucca corre spondent of the Tillamook Headlight, and are now surveying across the Grand Ronde Indian reservation. It is supposed that the work is being done by the Chicago & Northwestern and that the ultimate object is to se cure a transcontinental terminus at Astoria, by way of the Oregon Pacific as far as Albany. As far as this county is concerned the route will likely follow down Three Rivers to Bier Ifestucca and from thenpe up Beaver Creek, Tillamook river across to As toria via Tillamook. If such be the case, a town will spring up near the junction of Big Nestucca and Three rivers. M The Telegram, which is generally pretty well posted, hears that as soon as the seaside route is abandoned, the T. J. Potter, will continue to run on the Columbia and Wlilamette rivers between Astoria and Portland. She is but little more expensive to operate than the Ji. Ji. Thompson and can do much more business. Her dining room is her most expensive appoint ment; but when the boat is put on. the regular route this department will not be made so extensive a feature as it has been. There is no probability at present that the Potter will be ta ken around to the Sound again. As soon as done the Mountain Queen will go there, and she will be elegant enough for the rough usage boats get in that vicinity. A steamer on the Sound will wear more in five years than she wonld Qn the Cqluinbia jn. Th& post office department is going to introduce some novelties in the line of postal cards. The new issue, s.Qon to be madej will contain three styles. One is similar in style and size to the postal card now in use. It will perhaps be finer engraved and on a little better quality of paper. A new style, of large size and neat, but substantial, appearance, is intended for the use of business men and mer chants. It will afford space for print ing or writing considerable matter. The gem, however, is a delicate little card for ladies' correspondence. It is to be a tinted affair, probably in pink shade, and the style and quality of the card are calculated to be of such character as to commend it to per sons of resthetic tastes. It may be used for invitations arid little notes that are not necessarily of a confi dential nature. There are only twenty-one titles to real estate in all Alaska, and these came over with the Russian transfer. Twenty of these titles are in Sitka, and one in Juneau. Outside of these there are only squatters!' rights and claims. Some of these claims are liable to become extensive. They tell in Sitka of one man who went there as a missionary, --turned trader, and now either owns, or claims, pretty much all the eligible building i es fn that vicinity, including the hot springs, where he has established a hostelry. A stranger, looking around Sitka, observeda snug dwelling-house and lot, and inquired as to the owner ship. "Oh, that's Brady's," wa3 the reply. "And that sawmill." said the stranger, "who owns that?" "Brady," came tho reply again. "Fine looking bull there; who does he belong to?" "Brady's bull, sir." Just then the full moon came up from behind the moun tain. "Magnificent moon you have up here," exclaimed the visitor. "Yes." answered the Sitkan, abseutly, "that's Brady's!" PERSONAL MENTION. Councilman Welch has returned from a trip to the Nehalem. Thos. Linnville is back from a so journ at the seaside. Mrs. N.B. Pendleton, of Portland, is in the city, the guest of her sister, Mrs. A. V.

Accidental Drownlnz. At ten o'clock last Sunday night, Thos. Skillakoran, cook on the British bark British Army, in company with the carpenter and another shipmate was returning tdthe vessel, and when at the corner of We3t 9th and Third streets the three men went round to the dock north of Dr. Kirizie's building, Skilla koran accidentally falling into the water. He was taken out as soon a3 ' possible and every effort made to resuscitate the body, but without avail. Deceased was a native of the Isle of Man, aged about 36 years, and leaves a wife in Liverpool, England. m Fishermen's Strike Ended. Tho strike inaugurated by the sal mon fishermen is practically ended, and fishing will be resumed Monday next. The prices ruling at the open ing of the season were, by Morse's cannery, 7 cents for silver sides and 17 cents for jack salmen: by Myer's cannery, West Seattle, 5 cents for silver sides and 15 for jack salmon. The fishermen demanded 10 and 25 cents. Mr. Morse has agreed to the de mand and will be ready to receive fish as soon as they arrive. There are not as many fishing this season as last, aud fewer Indians than before. Fish are plenty, and now that the price is settled it is likely that many who have been holding off will go to work. It is understood that Myers has not agreed to the demand of the fish erman, but will have to do so unless he can get men who do not belong to the union, which is doubtful.- &- tle Press, 16.

In The Noar Future, Astoria, Oregon, is to be the great port of the Northern Pacififc coast and the tidewater terminus of at least some of the northwestern railway systems, if we may accept the ingenious and plausible anminents enntninpd in prlih. oriaJs in The Daily Astoria. The wri ter argues that the commerce of the Pacfiio will not submit to the dangers and delays of navigation of the lower Columbia river below Portland, but that Astoria harbor, which is near the mouth of the river, will be deepened aud protected by to continuous system of signals so as to form the natural port of delivery to tho railways which will extend thither. He urges that the Union Pacific which now terminates at Portlaud cannot loug afford to be kept from the sea coast by the cost of constructing less than 100 miles of railway, mid that when Astoria, which now sits isolated on the western coast, shall have been connected with the railway system of the country its fu ture as a great seaport will be insured. It is not difficult to believe that the writer's hopeful forecast will eventual ly be justified. -Northwest. TO DISPEL COLDS.
