The attention of loggers and others is directed to the advertisement of Habi.4l10r.sl A: Conant, reliable dealers in logger.-,' supplies, etc., 151 Front street, Poitland. The steam launch of the lish com missioner's steamer Albatross and the Elect ri" had quite a little race yester day, the launch holding her own with the Electric "September is always the pleasaut est month at the seaside," and the beautiful weather of the past week shows that the present month is in line with that of former years. Although due yasterday morning the Oregon had not been reported up to the hour of going to press, probably detained by heavy head wiuds. She will no doubt be in this morning. The fiual act in the dispute between Simpson & Wood, the owners of the South Bend mill, has been placed, by the settlement of the case in the district court and dismissal of the re ceiver. The Tacoma fire department will be represented in the comiug tournament by three hoso.team.s and one hook and ladder team. Astoria will send one hose team, and possibly one hook and ladder team. 'A ride to sea on a locomotive," is what some of the vistors call a trip on the railroad track to the present ter minus of the Ft. Stevens jetty. It is a unique and pleasing experience, but soon loses its novel tv. Mrs. W. J. Franklin of Clatsop called at this office yesterday and stated that she is making strenuous endeavors to find the -whereabouts of her husband who so mysteriously dis appeared, but up to the present time she had heard nothing concerning him. The attention of the fish commis sioners is called to a slat trap that has been fishing all this month, and prob ably all last month. The trap is sit uated between Skamokawa and Eagle Cliff; it is believed, that the parties operating the trap are salting the salmon. Kobb & Parker yesterday sold lots 7 and 8 block T of East Astoria to Mr. D. Werner, general passenger agent of the Chicago Rock Island and Al bert Lea Route, and lots 5, and 6 block 7 to Mr. Y. H. Mead, general agent of the Chicago and North "Western railroad. There is a policeman in Portland named Jno. Kerrigan -who has res etted eleven men from drowning in the "Willamette river, and -who deserves substantial recognition for his bravery. It takes a brave man to voluuteer to save a drowning person, and a cool one to do it successfully. A file of Victoria, B. G, papers re ceived yesterday attracted attention by their business charges conspicu ously published in each paper. Vic toria editors must accumulate money faster than most newspaper men. Frinstance, a charge is exacted of 2 for the publication of a birth, mar riage or death notice. It looks iike extortion, but if the Victorians can stand it, it is none of our funeral. 6. M. Stone is busy shipping salm on, machinery, etc., to San Francisco, from what was formerly known as the Geo. W. BTume cannery. The tug C. M. Belshaw goes to Eagle Cliff. The property will be turned over on the 15th to the Astoria Exchange Co., a local syndicate which Jjought the en tire property sometime ago. What they propose to do with it is not yet quite clear, but it is believed that they will not run it next year as a salmon cannery. Tender, Juicy Steak at Jeff's. A E1DE UP THE WALLUSKI. And a Visit to J. 0- Trullinger's damp. And An Account of. Some Thins Seen There. "We are going to visit Mr. Trul lhlger's logging camp. Won't you be one of the party?" said Mr. I. W. Case yesterday afternoon, to an As toriak reporter, who at the time was busy cutting off the interest coupons from his government bonds. The invitation -was accepted, and at ;$ o'clock Geo. T. Guthridge and wife, I. W. Case, J. C. Trullinger, W. S. lunnev, Rev. L. Dielman, A. D. Bowen, W. H. Smith, Dr. J. A. Ful ton and the writer vfent on board the swift little steamer Wenona, headed for Young's river and the Walluski. Mr. Guthridge is the Washington correspondent of the New York Her ald, and on Jtis recent visit in San "Francisco MF. Case met him and asked him to visit this section. It was desired that he should see some Clatsop county timber, so a trip to Mr. Trullinger's logging camp was planned. The flyers T. J. Potter aud Tele phono were floating in with stilled wheels to their docks and the green water was gleaming in the brilliant sunlight as the Wenona started; soon rounding the point the stately silhouette of Saddle mountain was outlined against the horizon, and in a short time the steamer's prow was cutting the smooth waters of the Walluski. Disembarking about seven miles from Astoria the party took ft short cut across the ridge to ,the terminus of the railroad, the only one of the kind in Clatsop county, or, indeed, in western Oregon, a standard gauge road with cars and locomotive com plete. The engine soon whisked along the road at a lively rate, past grand cathedral aisles of statelypruce and lofty fir. over trestles and through cuts, for about three miles, when "Mudville," the present terminus, was. reached. A twenty minutes walk brought the party, under the guidance of Thos. A. audThad. Trullinger, to "the forest primeval," on the old Wisner claim. on the ridge between the Walluski and the John Day's, where is as heav ily timbered a piece of land as can be found in the northwest. The skies that Hush in crimson splendor above our summer shores shed softened light on the thick green moss beneath, and lit up the grace ful draping and friuging foliage of the giant trees that shot lightly up, huge of girth in graceful taper 120 feet without a limb, the beauty of the scene being deepened by a sense of the sublime, and lightened by the thought of what hne timber it was and how valuable so close to a rail road and tide water. The eastern visitors were amazed. They could not realize the enormous girth of these forest giants, nor their great height, but "seeing is believing," aud after looking up two or three times to the tops, and noting the size of some of the prostrate trunks, they concluded the "logs" back east were no more than canes in comparison. The terminus of the railroad is quite a settlement. Mr. Trullinger has a busy lot of men who make this their headquarters. Here is a hotel, a large stable, shops, mills, etc., a water wheel supplied with water from a dam turning different kinds of labor saviug machinery, the whole thing be ing an embodiment of industry. When the party returned from the woods a fine supper awaited them, to which full justice was done. A ride back to tide water on the railroad, then on the steamer to the city, arriv ing at 8:30 p. m., concluded the day, and the writer owes Mr. Case and Mr. Trullinger a vote of thanks for a pleas ant afternoon. Salmon Plenty nt Sitka. Although a shortage in the salmon run is reported in either sections of the territory, around Sitka the fish is very abundant. Six fishermen went out last Wednesday and in the short space of six hours succeeded in catch ing 318 salmon. The fish continues to be very low in price; in fact have been offered for sale at merely nom inal figures. A 200 lb barrel of salmon bellies of the finest quality, changed hands during the week at S7, while the same weight fof salted salmon is realiziug only S2. The largest fish caught iu the bay are selling at 5 cents apiece. At the Redoubt cannery 12 per ton only is being paid for the best red fish, but the Russian fisher men consider this figure too low and demand 10. Alaskan. Notice. The Y.'s will begin their regular weekly meeting this afternoon at Y. M. C. A. hall at 4 o'clock. Young1 Gaelics aud Gentlemen. There are opportunities that come but once. Wherever Pref. Bauer has taught, there are now many regretting that they did not join his classes. Many young men and ladies who formerly worked for from 30 to $40 per month, are now receiving from SCO to S80, and these positions they obtained through the knowledge of a Rapid Business Hand Writing learned of Prof. Bauer the lead ing penman on the coast, in one term of lessons.

Yesterday af ternoon the grand jury reported an indictment against Walter Eeyes, who runs the Mississippi Medicine Co., on First street, charging him with con ducting a lottery for the purpose of disposing of personal property. Jailor Hoxie and deputy sheriff Fitz Simmons have returned after unsuc cessfully scouring the country for sev real days for four men who broke jail last Saturday. Mr. Hoxie has hopes of yet capturing his lambs. S. Ham, the thieving ex-steward of the steamship Columbia charged with larceny from the O. R.&N. Co. this afternoon waived examination in jus tice Tuttle's court and gave bonds for his appearance before the grand jury. To-day the board ot commissioners consisting of governor Pennoyer sec retary of state McBride, and state Ireasiirer-G. W. Webb began Taction in the circuit court against Wm. Wadhams, executor of the last will of Truman Powers and Mary H. Licn enweber, to recover 4,733.36. On the 30th of May, 1883, Powers gave the board his promissory note for 4,000 payable one year after date for valuable consideration, viz: a parcel of land in the town of upper Astoria, upon which but 1,513.33 has been paid. The amount now due on the note together with interest and attorney's fees aggregate the above sum. Judge Stearns decides that the Holladay ptoperty must be sold and fixes the date at Sept 21. Mary Brown, a woman 23 years old, was sent to the asylum to-day. Ever since the birth of her child she gave evidence of mental decline by ex pressing hatred for her offspring and believing that the devil had posses sion of her. She also is afflicted with a suicidal mania which she illustrated this morning by jumping into the river to drown herself. She would have accomplished her purpose but for her husband who pulled her out of the water. An attorney, named Hamilton, in the city, is trying to substantiate the claim of his client to property in the heart of the city, valued at 5,000. Brownfield is the name of the family whose ancestor was a pioneer of lodb, and who took up land on the Wil lamette, and now in the business cen ter. Jas. Turk, the sailor boarding house man, was arrested to-day, charged with attempting to get a seaman to desert the British ship Lord Can ning. It is reported that five sailors have already been enticed from the Lord Canning by men. A boarding house man -offered them 5 apiece if they would leave the ship. He got them into his hotel, and afer. dosing them with whisky and keeping them drunk for some time he refused to pay them the agreed price. The Great Exposition. " On the 26th of September the great est exposition ever held on the Pacific coast, will be opened in Portland, and will continue for a full month. The association has expended 250,000 on the building- and grounds, and every available inch of the six and one-half acres of floor space in the mammoth building has been taken by exhibit ors. Liberatti-, the greatest living cor uetist, with a band of fifty of the best musicians of New York, will furnish the finest music yet heard on the coast. A reduction in railroad fares on all lines has been secured, and no doubt thousands of people from all over the northwest will take this op portunity to visit Portland, and see its mammoth exposition. The great live stock show, which will be held from October 14th to 19th, will also attract a great many people. A. W. Berry's Cannery Borued. Sax Fraxcisco, -Sept. 4. A tele gram was received in this city to-day that several canneries had been burned iu the vicinity of Loring, near where the steamer Ancon was wrecked. The fire is .thought to have occurred last Sunday. One of the canneries was said to be as lojig as the cannery on Tongas Narrows, and it was also stated that the Cut ting Packing company had been burned out The. manager of the latter company in this city, was seen to-night, and said that the report was exaggerated. Gutting & Co. was uninjured, and as far as can be learned the cannery of A. W. Berry, which was located about thirty miles from Loring, was burned. The loss is thought to be .about 12,000. m A. Woman's Discovery. "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutch es upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, hut her vi tal organs were undermined and death seemed imminent For three months' she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr, King's New Discovery for Consump tion and was so much relieved on tak ing first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miracu lous! y cured.

Why did I kiss yon? Oh, nonsense! How could a man explain that? With your eyes looking at him from un der A coquettish Gainsborough hat; With nothing but lace on your shoulders, And your throat and your arms all hnrA? Aud, now, ask me why I kissed yon! it wotua maKO a preacuer swear. Why did I kiss you? Confound it! I think that was reason enough; To make me tell all my reasons Is just a little too rough. Oh, of course I knew you were married There was not much chance to forgot So, perhaps, that was why I did it, And yet and yet and yet I think that the reason I kissed you Was because yon were standing so near, While your eyes, thro' the star-lit dark . nessj Were shining so tender and clear; Your hand, when I tenderly clasped it, Half answered, then trembled with fright Do you understand, now, why I kissed you. Oat there in the darkness last night? Well this, then, was why I kissed yeu: Your throat and your arms were like snow, Your breath was like wine, and your glances Were languorous, tender and slow; Your lips, like a shell that is scarlet, Were softly uncurled, just for this: That a man should lose conscience and reason. And honor, and all for one kiss! So all in a moment I claBped you, And held you, and kissed you with love, And only the flowers knew it. And God and the angels above; So this, dear, is why I clasped you, And held you, and kissed you with pain: Because I knew never no, never, Would you and I kiss again. Want to Hare a Throning Contest. Chief Rainey is in receipt of the following letter from the chief of the Salem fire department, dated at Salem, Oregon, August 30. 1889: Dear Sir: The Capital Engine company of this city are desirous of arranging a friendly long distance throwing contest with one of the com panies of your department, and have instructed me to write to you and get your ideas of such a contest. We have a third size La France and would like to throw against one of your new machines which we understand are fine ones. Inasmuch as we will not be allowed to take our engine out of town to your city, we would suggest that the contest be arranged so that we could do our throwing in this city, before a committee to be appointed to look after your interests, and that you do your throwing at Tacoma be fore a committee representing us. It would be well to have the throwing done during the tournament and at the same hour so that the results be wired to both citips. The state fair is held here the 'same week that the tournament is held aud this contest would be interesting to visitors to both cities, and at the same time awaken interest in fire department matters. Will you kindly lay tjje mat ter before the boys and let us know what they think of it? It is more than likely that the proposition will be accepted. Ta coma Globe, 4. Fast Trips of Ocean Steamship.
