The Presbyterian Sunday school scholars and teachers had their -annual picnic yesterday at Skipauon.

Eels are in the market Some folks don't eat eels, but yon just fix 'em, same as you would fried snake, and just let some other fellow have 'em, and you'll say they're just as good that way as snake stew is. The eels from the Cowlitz are the fattest, though now and then they bring up a little flattened eel from Hungry harbor that isn't long in the market before being purchased, " tt 'mrnifiTiTTrTTTTTn aaw Civil engineer E. E. Cooper, with his sixteen men camped last night on the little Fishhawk, 17 miles from 01 ney, and 27 miles from this city, and this morning they resume their re- connoissance. It is reckoned tnat a 400 foot tunnel at that point will obviate the necessity- of any sharp grade. Mr. Cooper has a preliminary survey of a very easy grade so far, all the way from this city. The Tillamook rock light keepers had a jubilee, yesterday, the Manzani ta having supplied them with some provisiens: this is the first communica tion those sea girt sentinels have had with shore for nearly six weeks, and their gorge rose at beans straight. Now they feast upon the succulent suc cotash, the plum, peach andjnicy pear, and look with loudness on the pleasing rotundity of the watermelon. The expo3ureof the manner of trans acting bncinesu by the "American building and ioan association" of Minneapolis, by labor commissioner Tobinof California is beginning to bear good fruit Its East Oakland branch has closed its books. The amount of stock subscribed for was in the neighborhood of S52,000, but the loss to members, says tlit loc;:I man ager, through the payment of as sessments and initiation fees, will not amount to more than $800. They get off easy. Yesterday afternoon, Paul, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Win. B. Ross, was very severely burned through, playing with matches. Mrs. Ross and some of the other children were next door eating dinner at the time and the first she heard was the screaming of her boy; rushing in she saw him enveloped in flames which were put out as soon as possible. The little fellow was found to be very ser iously burned about the breast, " legs, hands and face, and at last accounts w:is in a very bad condition. The stockholders of the Odd Fel lows' Land and Building association met yesterday and the directors made their annual report, showing a most satisfactory state of affairs, financially. A dividend of one dollar a share was recently declared, and the association being now out of debt, it is expected that the next dividend will be doubled. The present board of direct ors was reelected, who, in turn re elected the present officers, and a committee was appointed to examine and report upon the financial report at a subsequent meeting. So far thi3 season there has been shipped direct foreign, by sail, from Astoria to England, 107,150 cases al mon, valued at S72 1,858, as follews: Mav lHlh, Mai Utu FiJst:', 8,050 cases, S51V7S5; ,lnlv 17th, I'.orioirJ'ile. 2-1,-175 cs., $161,035; August Gth, Wan lock, 20,005 cs., $185,235; August 15th, Westland, 17.426, $314,303. These shipments will be further increased by a cargo to be :sent on the Lord Canniny, which will leave in Sep tember, and will close this seasou's foreign salmon exports. The total for '89 will be nearly 50 per cent in excess of that of the season of '88. A man in business without an adver tisement in the newspaper is like a grave without a tombstone, or a book agent without a tongue. Neither one is known, neither one does much, all are parsed by. Advertising is the preaching of the go pel of business to those whe buy or ought to lmy. Doubtless one or two men would get re ligion if there eo not a preacher in the world, but the great masses would know nothing of Christianity. So every businessman will have a little trade anyway, but unless he advertises, the great body of traders will pass by on the other side, and the fate of busi ness failure come upon him. Tho Hue was down again last night, so no dispatches this morning. When Mr. Jayne, the superintendent, was here last week, he implied that the W. U. T. Co., as soon as railroad work got well under way, would begin the construction of a telegraph line along the route, and as soon as that line was built, the old line, the present line down the river, would be aban dened: that it was the original inten tion of the company to rebuild the entire line, from Portland, down, but that idea was not to be acted upon, the new line to be built along the Astoria and South Coast Railroad Co.'s track obviating the necessity of such rebuilding. So that while in the future we will have a solid line built, the line this fall and winter will be likely to be a shaky concern. Ocean Grove, N. J., has a new mo tive power for raising water with which to sprinkle its streets. A pier has been built on the beach, having eight gates, each of whioh swings up on a steel rod in such a way that the lower parts of the gates are submerged on all side?. The waves as they strike a gate swing it inward, and a rod at tached to the top serves as the angle bar for the piston rod of a force pump placed in a horizontal position, the force of each wave sufficing for the stroke of tho piston, and the conse quent suction of a quantity of water from the ocean. The water is forced forty feet high into tanks; and with only two gates in use 40,000 gallons of water can be raised to the requisite height in one day. The use of such a power for mechanical purposes is self evident The Astoriax receives and wel comes another visitor to the local newspaper field The Astoria Metho dist, Rev. Geo. W. Grannis, editor and proprietor. It is a typographic gem, a 16 page paper to appear monthly, and replete with excellent original and selected matter. An exchange is valuable to the extent that one can clip from its columns, and from the neatly printed pages of No. 1, Vol. 1, of The Astoria Methodist it is learned that: "The financial results of the year have been truly remarkable. considering the number of members and their financial ability. A total of $3,329 has been raised and applied as follews: Improvements and debt on church and parsonage, $1,765; or ganist, $120; Sunday-school $75; be- aaiw'''WB ittM8 uevolent'collections, S125, Ellensburg church, $10; incidental expenses, S75; salary of pastor, S900, salary of pre siding Elder, $72; rental value of par sonage, S250. Of this $1,302 was re ceived from the Astoria Building and Loan association, $100 from the Mis sionary society, leaving $1,990 paid by the membership and congregation." Los of the "Cambrian Queen."

The Manzailita comes down the river to-day with the incoming and outgoing inspectors of this lighthouse district on board. They go on an offi cial cruise along the Oregon and Washington coast, and on their re turn Capt. Uriel Sebree will return to the east. He has been ordered to ins home in Missouri, but salt water is scarce in that locality, and he will probably not be there long before be ing ordered to Chester, Pennsylvania, where he will go aboard the new cruiser Baltimore, as executive of ficer. Three years shore duty and three years at sea, is the rule, but in Capt. Sebree's case the courtesy of an ex tension has been accorded. He came here a lieutenant, but has been pro moted to the higher official rank of lieutenant commander. He will be succeeded by Lieutenant commander W. W. Rhodes, who has been stationed at Washington for the past three years. The new inspector is forty-five years of age, and has been in the navy for twenty-five years.

Bowlby and family returned yesterday from the Seaside." Henry Sherman is a good deal bet ter, and talks of going to California. Robert O. Stone and Miss Mary Markham will be married at Ilwaco next Sunday. Capt Allan Noyes, E. A. Noyes aud W. L. Robb started yesterday for the seaside and Klaskanine for" a brief fishing and hunting excursion. Miss Kimball seemed somewhat im proved in her condition yesterday forenoon, but later reports caused the gravest doubts as to her recovery. A Comparison Favorable To Astoria. At Astoria there are points that could be made to furnish the best of accommodations, and they are lyiug around lnn.-e. but by no m. art.s i.j gieat number, and the are .:!' '.n and holding out greater advantages than any point on Paget sound Among those advantages is first, the cost of the logs, which have always sold for $1 a thousand less than logs ou the Sound; nud then there is the shorter distance to market. Say, for instance, a dealer in San Francisco has a mill at Astoria, aud another has one at Tacoma. The respective vessels start out from San Francisco together, and keep company until oft the Columbia, where one runs in and begins to load while the other one is still out at sea heading north. She has the shortest way one can measure it, 350 additional miles to make in order to reach Tacoma. Of course she has the same additional distance to sail on her home trip, making together a distance of of 700 miles more which she has to sail than the vessel bound for Astoria. It is a pretty fair guess to say that in or der to make one mile on a direct course a vessel has to sail about two; hence our Tacoma trader will have to sail about 1,400 miles more on each trip for a cargo than our Astoria ves sel will; if. now, it is borne in mind that the whole distance between San Francisco and Astoria is about 550 miles, it does not need the services of the Lick telescope to discover the disadvantages all the Sound mills labor under, when com pared with Astoria mills as to the freighting of the lumber to tho Cali fornia markets. The same disadvaut tiige applies to all oargoes giitif south to doniestio or foreign ports, but the difference is not so perceptible in ves sels which make one or two trips a year to foreign ports, but when a ves sel is steadily running between San Francisco aud some mill, making ten thirteen or even more trips a year, the difference in the distance of Paget sound ports and Astoria, looms up with importance, affecting materially, as it does, the profit and loss account, the freights from the Sound ports be ing the same as those from Astoria. Translated from the N. W. Lumber man. Astoria Can Say Precisely The Same. The three-story brick buildings which are now being completed, and which would be ornaments to any city on the coast, are being built by men who have accumulated fortunes by following business vocatious in this city. There is not another point that can make the same boast in the north west, for in almost every - town the enterprise of the present" season has been impelled by the introduction of foreign capital. -Dalles- Times-Mountaineer. 20.
