From the child to the graudsire, they all read Tiie Astorian. A line in its columns is seen by every one in the city or vicinity, who can read, and that comprises ninety-nine per cent of the population. The Salvation"" Army screeched a psalm last evening. Jf David when his toils were ended had heard those hoodoos sing before him; to us his psalms had ne'er descended, in frantic mood he would have tore 'em. That camping party reported lost at Tillamook heacC was in considera ble trouble for a night and a day, but rescuers found them and brought them back before they had suffered more than temporary inconvenience. Are you looking for an investment? Read the remarks about Kiverside ad dition in another column. It will do you good, but don't put off buying too long.

Many substantial improve ments are planned, and buildings are being contracted for in various places along the line of the road. Many horses from Montana will make the Oregon circuit this fall, and as the telegrams show that at Butte, the fastest time ever made in the ter ritory was made last week, it is safe to say that the races this fall will be the best ever ran in the state. Yesterday afternoon a man named Lebeck was badly hurt at the Clatsop, mill by a lumber pile falling on him; and somewhat later in the afternoon a boy -named Casper Brownhold. em ployed at the mill, had his right hand badly cut by havifig it come in con tact witk a saw.

The warehouse, in which was stored all the salmon al ready packed, was saved All the loss is fullycovered by insurance. There was a liveljjbit of weather at 5:30 yesterday afternoon. The sun lit waters of our quiet bay were ruf fled out of their usual placidity and were lashed into foam, the storm cloud frowned blackly, the rain fell and the wind blew, and three China men lost their hats overboard. The United States land office at Washington, D. C, promulgated a decision last Saturday, holding that in Washington territory the United States has a vested title to the tide lands on the shores of the territory, and that Washington territory does not possess the sovereignty attached to statehood.

Yesterdav was the first day lots in Laurel Park were put on the market Ucn Worsjey, of the firm of Worslov & Carrnthers "sold GG (sixty-six) lots in Laurel Park yes terdav. Moral -if vou want to bnv or sell, let people know it by putting an advertisement in the Astoriax. Upper Astoria needs a fire engine badly: our neighbors should supply themselves with one, for, should a fire break out to-night they would be powerless to prevent its spreading. As for the city department, while the boys are ever ready and always will ing, it would be impossible to get a fire engine over the roadway in its present condition, and it is not likely the effort would be made. The schooner Norway left San Francisco on May 22nd for Holham inlet, Alaska, being cleared by the Silver Salmon Packing company. She carried up a full cargo of cannery supplies for a cannery company which lurenuea esiaunsmng mere, xt was learned that on account of the shal lowness of the water the Norway could not get to the inlet aud she re turned last Thursday with the same cargo she took away. Judge Deady has rendered a decis ion regarding public lands that is to this effect: an entry and certificate is sued to a settler under the homestead act for land subject to entry thereun der, cannot be set aside or canceled by the land department on its own mo tion for fraud or mistake committed or occurring in obtaining or issuing it; in such cases the government must seek redress in the courts, where the matter may be heard and determined according to the law applicable to the rights of individuals under like cir cumstances. Beyond the incidental revenue from "pulling" opium joints it is not appa rent to some why the Mongolian should not be allowed to smoke opium. People who have tried both say that opium produces a drunk that is in every way superior to the drunk that whisky produces. It also kills quicker. The man under the influ ence of opium is serene and not hila rious. He courts repose, rather, than disturbance. "Why not let the hea then Chinee smoke his weed since Caucasians smoke theirs?" ask those who think it is inconsistent to pull an opium joint, aud let auother kind of joint alone. Deputy sheriff Lounsbury's trip down here from Portland was to se cure the necessary signaturo of Jos. Holladay to an advertisement officially making notice of the sale of the per sonal property of the lato Bon Holla day. Judge Sterns made the order last Wednesday but to avoid signing it the subtle Joseph slipped seaward to the seclusion of the placid Necani cum. After searching all over the city for him, one of the deputies learned from a copy of The Astorian that Mr. H. was at Clatsop, and im mediately took the night boat for Astoria, bringing along the necessary papers, which of course he couldn't refuse signing when presented, to him. Jos. Tagg, a man who lately bought Jos. Furtado's milk business, was driving his bund horse attached to his milk wagon, yesterday afternoon, down the narrow roadway from the old gasworks to Cedar street, when the horse became fractious, and in ca vorting around the. rail broke, and horse, wagon and driver were precipi tated to the rocks below, a distance of sixteen or eighteen feet. Tagg -fell under the wagon and received very severe injuries: oneleg is probably broken, his head is badly gashed, one ear is almost torn off and he is hurt internally. He was taken to the hos pital and" given. surgical attendance. The horse was badly bunged up and the wagon is a total wreck. One of the lucky real estate deals which sometimes come upon a fellow unaware, culminated in Hoquiam re cently, says the Washingtonian, whereby a young man made a small fortune a fortune, which if rightly handled, is capable of making in this country, its possessor independent. Eight months ago Chas. Lyons, of. this town, discovered and secured 160 acres of government land adjoining the Gray's Harbor townsite, paying therefor the government price of 1.25 per acre. He has recently effected a sale of one-half his claim at the price of 150 per acre (one hundred and fifty dollars) per acre, 12,000. This is no fish story, but one of the streaks of good fortune which visits a fellow in a new country if he keeps his eyes open, and is always ready to grasp op portunities. Alaska fiffrly teems with animal life. The sea along its shores and the rivers, inlets and lakes are filled with an inexhaustible supply of the largest and finest food fish. Fishing is one of the principal industries of the country, and fully fifty large facfories are engaged in packing the fish that are shipped to almost even' country in the world. It is a perfect paradise for sportsman. The islands in Behr ing sea, as well as the mainland, were fairly overrun with great herds of all kinds of fur-bearing animals. Along the north coast are great herds of walrus, which are valuable for their meat and ivory tusks. The sea cow, which used to be found here, has be come extinct. In the interior parts of the country and in the north are the greatest breeding-places for birds in the world. For miles the country will be covered with myriads of geese, swans, ducks and a hundred other varieties of the feathered tribe. They feed on the wild berries aud become so fat toward the close of the season that they can hardly fly "and the na tives knock them over with clubs by the hundreds. The canvass-back ducks have their breeding-places on the Yukon, the principal river of Alaska. There is one point on the western coast of Alaska where, on a clear day, it is possible to see the Asiatic coast, thirty-eight miles away. The natives of eastern Siberia and Alaska often exchange trading visits and cross the strait in open boats. Peek's Bad Roy. Everyone is more or less familiar with the mad nranks of that embodi ment of mischief, Peck's Bad Boy, as cnronicied m tne newspapers all over the country, and in its presentation to the public in its dramatized form bv the comnanv. at the oiiern liniiso. on Wednesday evening, full justice was done to the exasperating inge nuity of the irrepressible imp. The corner grocery was excellently repre sented, and hearty laughter greeted tho various scenes enaoted. Harry Connors, as Peck's Bad Bow was the liero of the piece, and he wa3 ably seconded by rank Ualburt as Shultz, the groceryman. The company is sauare in its dealings, and the mem bers exhibit a sense of refinement and courtesy that is sure to make per manent friends of all whom they come in contact. Martinez Gazette.

Probably no one thing has caused such a general rovival of trade at J. W. Conn's Drug Store as his giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article froai the fact that it alwavs cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat and lung diseases quickly cured, lou can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every bottle warranted. (Jet A Mote On Yon. Salem should not sit down with the serene indifference of a knot on a log andvait for the railroad to build itself. Astoria tried this for a long time, but it wasn't a success. It was only after her people got out and rustled up some 250,000 stock that things began to move toward the required end, and now the prospects for the connection of the city with the Wil lamette valley by rail are very bright. In fact the thing is assured. St a tes man, 7. A Fortune lor the Right Man.

Florence Fishing Troubles Settled. From Geo. A. Dorris, who returned from Florence last Wednesday even ing, we learn that the fishing troubles on the Siuslaw river havo ceased and that the fishermen are now at work catching salmon. It appears that the Siuslaw fishermen's union has ceased to exist. The fishermen accepted the prices offered by Meyer & Kyle, the cannerymeu, viz: Forty cents for large salmon and twenty-five cents for small ones, aud one-third off from these prices when the cannerymeu furnish the outfits. At one time they were offered 35 and 50 cents, but re. fused to accede to the terms, hence at last accopted the first prices offered. Tiie nsnermen had been out three nights when Mr. Dorris left and quite a number of the boats cnimht 100 salmon nightly. J3oth Siuslaw and uonunuia river men are tlslnug. Eugene Ouard, 7.
