That the Astorians can win js sure, provided they send a winning team. It will not be won thqugh, by experimenting with greenhorns. "I want that road tax," said a tax collector to a. Chinaman the other day. 4,How much?" said John. "Five dollars ," said the t c "All lite," said the Mongolian, now I play tan, if I win 1 pay, if I don't I no pay." He played and soon came back with a twenty. "Gimmie -leceet," said he, "and fifteen dollah." He got his road receipt, and his "fifteen dollah," and went back lo the game It is reported that a large number of "settlers" arc being "located" in unsurveyed laud in the southern part of the county by a professional "boomer" from Michigan, for a con sideration, and that he has men en gaged in building houses. While this is everybody's business in general, and nobody's business in particular, yet it should be somebody's business to see that this little swindle is stopped. One of the latest and most novel electrical devices is an invention for catching fish, the production of a Chicago electrician. There is a small apparatus attached to the hook at the end of the fish line. From this ap paratus one electric wire goes to the bottom of the water, while the other leads to the point of the hook, where the bait is attached. As soon as the fish, attracted by the bait, comes close enough, he receives an electric shock, which either kills him immediately or else stuns him and brings him to the surface. The county road around Smith's point is receiving some much needed improvement, and is now in a better condition than it ever was before. The road from DeForce's oil works has a force of men working on it mak ing straight thai which was crooked and making firm that which -as miry. The road is now a good one, as far as it extends, and about a thousand feet of trestle thrown from a point oppo site Cass street to the Williamsport side would give -.itch connection as would enable one to drive out around Smith's point in a double seated ve hicle and return by way of the ceme tery, thus riding around a consider able part of the peninsula. The unaccountable rise in the wa ters of Harrison lake and river, an nounced in these columns a few days ago,saystheNanaimo Columbian, has brought several theories to the front, the most probable one being that the immense salmon nin has been the cause of it The theory is quite likely to be correct, fgr reports say that Harrison river is simply a mass of salmon moving so thickly that the water is black with them from shore to shore, and boats have simply to plow a road through the fish in order to obtain a passage. The millions that enter the lake every day must necessarily displace a large quantify of water, and, consequently, cause the lake to rise. The lake is about forty miles long aud several miles wide most of its length, and therefore the number of salmon required to raise the water three feet in four weeks must have been something enormous. It it generally conceded that the sal mon theory must be correct. Coming in on an O. R. & N. car from eastern Oregon the other day sat a gruff middle aged man, much resem bling a bear. He was reading a news paper. Behind him sat a man with a pale face, who held in his arms a baby. He evidently was not in the habit of managing babies. At all events he failed signally in this in stance. He had a bottle of milk, which he offered the baby when it cried, but the baby refused it and only cried the inore. Finally the bear turned in hi? seat and inquired in a loud voice if theie wa& noway to quiet that baby. The pale faced mun said that lie had fouud no wn. The buby cried all the more, and the bear grew fierce. After telling the pale fuced man several times that the baby was a uuisance he inquired: "Where in thunder is that child's mother? I wish she would come and ttike care of it." "The mother of this baby," said the pale faced man, "is in a colftn in the front car." "Now, then." said a passenger, looking at the bear, "if you don't hush you will be pitched out of the car." The baby cripd and fretted all the ret of the way, but not another word was said b the bear. 1'KKSONAI. JlKNflOV. Mrs. J. P.

Church, at Sveuson's landing. They chartered the steamer Electric and with the coroner and an Astoriax reporter started for Svensen's landing, reaching there at nine o'clock. A walk of a mile and a half brought the' party to the farm of the deceased, where the particulars of his death were learned. He had been at work all the morn ing trying to extinguish a 'forest fire that had been threatening the neigh borhood for some days, and which was encrouching on his clearing. About noon his dog came whining home and tried to attract attention. Going away the faithful animal re turned and at last succeeding in get ting attention he led the way to the dead body of his, master who was lying face downward his olothes parnaliyd burned aud evidently smothered to death, having fallen from overexertion aud suffocating from smoke and heat.

We write with ple;isure the arrival on the Columbia yesterday of the following business gentlemen: Mr. A. M. Cumming Representing the cranberry industry, of Hwaco. Mr. Cumming comes up from San Francisco to complete arrangements to establish, a big farm near our sea side resort at Clatsop. From experts it is learned that the Hwaco berries are superior to those grown in New Jersey, Wisconsin and the Atlantic states. Our berries having been ship ped to the east and pronounced A No. 1, to such an extent that they are in demand and sold for the eastern ar tice. As there is plenty of capital be hind Mr. Cumming. our numerous readers can rest assured that this in dustry will be carried on, on a big scale. Mr. E. H. Foot The secretary and treasurer ofthe Grand Rapi I- M.oii igan) Chair company. Mr. Foot visits us in the interest of his big company. The Oregon fir and Washington spruce have been fouud to withstand all the climatic changes, bo much so that the chairs of the eastern states will be made from our durable timber hereafter bv Mr. Foot's company. Mr. Foot will remain in our city for a week. Mr. Elliott B. Miuor, one of the leading grocers of San Jose, Califor nia. Mr. Minor comes here to look at our wonderous scenic country and to take notes on the vast productions of our rich soil, with the contemplation of establishing a branch house among Mr. M. P. Minor "Page Minor," known to many of our citizens as the correspondent of the Portland News, during the firemen's tournament here in 1885. Mr. Minor has been in Cali fornia for four years, and again makes his appearance to us, as agent for preserving the piles of harbors from ravages of the teredo. The California state harbor commissioners have adopted Mr. Minor's preventative and are now using the same at the San Francisco sea wall. Astoria, fortuuately has no need of any such armor, being secure from the attack of the teredo in the posses sion of an iuvuluerable armor known as fiesh water. The Sound ports need some such preparation to keep their wharves from tumbling down, but Astoria ju proud preeminence, points to perpetu ally perpendicular piles, seourely safe from the teredo. Mr. C. H. McLean. The sole propri etor of the McLean Medical company, of St. Louis, Missouri Mr. McLean and his charming wife ar& on a tour of pleasure throughout the northwest, and their visit to our city, we are happy to say, will be wrought with many sturdy "Pikers" comiug amongst us, as they leave Astoria delighted with our people, our productions, and our fiue climate, which impressions they will carry back to "Old Mis souri."

The "rush" for timber land in west ern Oregon and Washington, which has been so great for the paBt year, sepins to have culminated, though up on "the survey of vacant townships it jm juuuiiuit; nun inure wm do u repeti tion of the scramble, ou a smaller scale. Nearly everything that might be considered as timber laud on both sides of the river, and back fifteen miles, has been filed on, except here and there a choice tract which is oc casionally dropped on by some one, accidentally. It has been quite a source of reve nue to Uncle Sam, to those who have made it a business to locate would be purchasera, to the steamers and rail roads, and has made the land office officials about as busy and hard worked a set of men as there are it the United States employ. The passenger traffic on, e railroad from Portland to Qregou City has beqn something big. It is amusing to note that the fare to Oregon City, from Portland, fifteen miles, is 65 cents, while a round trip ticket edsts 70 cents. Men have acquired timber land from a variety of motives; some to sell as soon as possible, others to hold for the inevitable appreciation of values. The line of the Astoria and South Coast road in couneptjon. wjtb. its transcQntinentiaVJaaurae. lies, through a fine body of timber in-a tier of un surveyed townships to the south, which timber will not probably be without private owners as soon as surveyed.

The steamer Manzanita, Richard son master, arrived in from the neigh borhood of the north pole yesterday afternoon, and made some remarks in a deep bass voice, appropriate to the oc casion. She has been away from here thirty nine days cruising along some of the northwestern corners of Uncle Sam's deep water domain, her officers and crew locating and replacing buoys, beacons, etc., going well up towards the Arctic circle and traversing alto gether, about 5,000 miles. The voyage was without incident, the weather was just about what As toria weather is in the winter or late in the fall: when in Wrangle bay the steam schooner Leo was sighted in distress, and towed into the harbor of Bella Bella. Considerable work was dene: it was no holiday trip, everv dav being one full of duty. In Wrangle 2"afiov, the ilL.i.1.-;.. was made that the festive teredo 1,1.1, e'a as "well iu northern waters as on the Sound, and elsewhere, and all cedar buoys weie replaced with iron ones upon which that marine worm cannot chew. Buoys to withstand the ice were put in; large iron ones with live compartments. The vessel was rlel.ivprf sir. Pnrf. Townsend five days, for repairs, the engineer aeeming it best to have everything made snug before coming around here into dep water. Mow. it appears that the Manzan ita takes the inspectors and the sec retary of the light house bonrd ou another tonr. This district needs two steamers; one to go to Alaska, and Tillamook rock, and take ofticprsnrniinfl nn fours of inspection, and. another to do work tnat is imperative, ana that calls loudly for attention. The Oregon and Washington coast is an extensive one, and wonld require the constant presence of such a vessel as the Manzanita tentlincr in flip buoys, lighthouses, etc., along the thousand miles from California to tho straits.
