A slick confidence man in Ashland recently made quite a pot of money by selling bulbs, which he said would produce rare orchids and other exotics. Enthusiastic ladies paid from 75cents up to $5 a piece for the magic roots. The bulbs were duly planted and pro duced -common turnips! The vender long ago left for parts unknown. Last Monday afternoon Henderson Deady of Portland was sailing his double ender boat near Sand island with his canoe in tow when the break ers, which were very high at the time, capsized the canoe necessitating the cutting of it adrift which went out over the bar, a total loss. Mr. Deadv started for Portland in his sail boat yesterday morning. Steward Simmons of the Reed noticing the statement of one D. W Lake, regarding his alleged "steward ship" or the Alaskan, states that Lake, who was a sort of waiter for Dan Moran for a while last spring, is evidently trying to secure notoriety on a very slim basis, as he was not at any time "steward," under or upper, on the Alaskan. Taint every man can be a poet no more than a sheep can be a go-at, but Nels. W. Durham, of the fhvnnninn drops into poetry as easily as Silas Wagg. He halted at North" Yamhill the other night, and thus speaketh of scenery and other tilings: '"When twilight fell the clouds were all gone, save a narrow rim that tinged the distant mountains in the west. Upon this rim the departing sun set a fiery glow. In a few moments the gleam of sunlight softened, and the clear cut mountains donned their kingly raiment of purple and gold Then Night spread her solemn mantle over all, and I went to bed. The bed-bng is a cannibal, And loves for blood to bore. Napoleon nor Hannibal Had half his thirst for gore. The flea ho is an agile cuss And full of coquetry. He also quaffs our blood, and thna Becomes our enemy." A Gaus of Leeches. Itinerant sales gentlemen and sales ladies! Astoria is fnll of them. From the lady who enters the back kitchen to sell the "Bloom of youth;" the gen tlemen who rings the front door bell to sell "The Boyal Path to Wealth;" the lady who wants you to pay $5 for the privilege of making alleged bargains in Pertland: from the frentl- man with the furniture polish, and all other such ladias and gentlemen; oh Lord deliver us! There is a lady tiptoeing around who is delivering private lootures on 'How to make the oifine nf nmicna taker a sinecure in the future." A virtuous subscriber informs us that she ought to be "suppressed." with the accent on the "pressed." It would be a good tiling for the town if the whole gang could be got rid of. They drain the ennnvmnifv of ready coin and do no good. Some of them are liable to arrest for peddling without a license. "A Knife That Cuts." "Justice moves with a leaden heel, but strikes with an iron hand." Oc casionally, though, justice gets in some quick work. Last week Andrew Carlson robbed I. S. Jones' store at Oysterville. Last Monday he was arraigned before Judge Allyn, plead guilty, and was sentenced to three years in the territorial penitentiary, and started for there that night A company has been formed in New lork by the Northern Pacifio Co., Under this heading Herman Wise has some remarks on the first page calculated to prove to everyone in As toria that unreins in clothing nnn Ua had at his store iu the Occident hotel uuiiding. To make room for a big stock on the way, and to turn his al ready large stock into cash, he adver tises a slaughter in prices all along the liue. In everything that a man or boy wears he announces a big cut in prices lo cash buyers for thirty days he guarantees to sell mens' and boys' clothing at net cost. This is no summer game. By per sistent advertising, and by keeping all his promises to the people, Mr. Wise has won public confidence, and his advertisements always guarantee to do just what they says thev will. m On the principle that "a dollar saved is a dollar earned," he asks Astorians to earn money easy by buying clothes from him.

The auditor and police judge was instructed to give notice regarding the changing of the grade of West Gth street, by resolution. A petition from Belle Stevens, ask ing for liquor license was granted. Begarding sundry matters Mr. J. W. Conn, president of the Astoria street railway company, made a few remarks. At the intersection of Third ami iuam streets, according to the grade mere is a check of eighteen muues. ne asted tor instructions re garding the track of the railway com pany being graded so as to trv to con form to the grade as established by ordinance.
