It will be many a day again before there will be such a collection of fa mous runners as were at the Tacoma tournament last week. Ed Bea, Pete Graut, Ed Ferguson, "NV. H. Odell, Bethune, Gibson, Dave Campbell, Trine, Boss, Wilson, Dobbins, Peck, Cameron, Fletcher, Morgan, Brown, and several others. It is a fact worthy of note and re membrauce that the time made by the Astoria hose team in the cham pionship association (New York race) of the Tacoma tournament, beat the world's record. Up to'last Thursday the best record on this coast for that contest was 1.13: the best record in the world, 1.09 7-8. Last Thursday the Astoria hose team made it in 1.09 2-5, thus going to the front. This is why Astoria does a little pardonable bragging about the hose team. The contracts for the telegraph line from Tillamook rock to Fort Stevens have been let, says the Oregonian. The shore line has been awarded to the Sunset Telephone and Telegraph company, of San Francisco, for 95 per mile. The cable will be supplied by John M. Cline, of San Francisco, for 16J cents per foot, delivered at Astoria. The cable will be laid by the Manzanita, and tbe government is going to get a cheap line. One per son bid very low for the shore line and high for the cable, and another low for the cable and high for the shore line, and Major Handbury took the cheap bids on each, to the disgust of both contractors. The line will be completed in about sixty days. When pilot Doig went on board the British ship T0honons yesterday to take her to Victoria, he found the mate trying to do the same with the vessel that Bainey had tried to do with the firemen's tournament Doig gave an order and the mate ordered the men not to mind him. The men (who had been hired here by the cap tain for the trip) then quit, and though he offered them three times the agreed wages, they demanded to be set ashore, not caring to go to sea with a crazy man. Fifteen men from the Albatross then came on board and helped heave the anchor, and the cap tain having ordered the mate to his room, the vessel started to Victoria in tow of the tug Sealion and in charge of pilot Doig, the captain, and four men. The Escort took pilot Doig off when the vessel got outside, he returning yesterday afternoon. The steamer Jeanie, Hale master, arrived in at nine o'clock last evening from Copper river, Alaska. The sea son in Prince William's sound has been a stormy ene: as much rain fell there in the summer as falls in Astoria in the winter. The Jeanie left Prince William's sound, 1,600 miles from here, seven days ago. She has 16,000 cs. salmon aboard, and leaves for San Francisco this morning. The Pacific Steam Whaling Co., J. N. Knowles, M. Herrick, manager, put up 27,000 eases. Henry Weatherbee had cans for 30,000 cases: put up 2,200. Story had cans for 60,0000 cases. he put up 1,100. Abe Webber, of the Pacific Packing company, put up 5,000. The current in the Copper river didn't admit of traps or seines, and only gill nets did anything. There was a lae lake where salmon were plenty. The iracmc Steam Whaling conipanj' caught salmon in the lake with gill nets, built a railroad and hauled salmon over the railroad by mule power to the cannery. That lired feeling is entirely over come by Hood's barsaparilla, which creates an appetite, rouses the liver, cures headache, and gives renewed strength and vigor to the whole body.

Astoria never does anything by halves, and as the Astoria hose team had won the honors and beaten the world's record it was fitting that it should receive just recognition. At the close of tournament the Astoria team is always welcomed, for it always returns victorious. But this time itwas determined that the reception should be commensurate with the magnitude of the feat accom plished. Accordingly, when the LurUue ar rived yesterday morning, the whole city arose and welcomed the return ing delegation, who bore proudly a loft the emblems of the championship. The committee of arrangements, tbe ladies and those in charge, all worked hard to make it a success: the'eitizens contributed liberally. At 7:30 the precession, preceded by the band and "flanged by fireworks, moved to Boss' opera house, which was filled. A.fter some "music. Capt. J. H. D. Gray introduced Mayor Page, the chairman of the meeting, who made an eloquent speech of welcome on be half of the citizens of Astoria, which was responded, to on behalf of the team and fire department by J. F. Halloran. The chairman then intro duced Hon. C. W. Fulton, who made a felicitous speech, after which Capt Gray read a series of resolutions, which were adopted. After further remarks by Messrs. Curtis, Worsley, Barry and others, the procession reformed and marched to the handsome parlors of Bescue No. 2, which had been transformed by fair hands into a bower of beauty. Adorned with flowers, festooned with fragrant garlands, the walls enclosed a "dining hall, in which stood tables covered with daintily prepared food. The hose team, and those assembled then partook, and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all present. It was an occasion long to be re membered, and a pleasantmemory to all who met in mutual congratulation over the result of the tournament of 1889. At the close of the banquet, about seventy-five ladies and gentlemen re paired to armory hall, and tripped the light fantastic toe till jocund dawn peered over the misty hill tops. On behalf of A. W. TJtzinger, the donor, J. F. Halloran presented to the Asto ria fire department a handsome gold cup, to be in charge of the chief en gineer of the Astoria fire deparment, and handed by the chief engineer to his successor as the years roll by. The New Vancouver Receiver. On Wednesday last the president appointed Mr.- Scott Swetland, of this city, receiver of the United States land office at Vancouver, vice John O'Keane, whose term of office expired a few weeks since. Mr. Swetland is chairman of the Clarke county Be publican committee and a, member of the state committee, and was exten sively endorsed for the position by leading Bepnblicans of both Wash ington and Oregon. Mr. Swetland was for several years in tho employ of the Vancouver Transportation Co., where he developed excellent clerical abitity. The appointment meets with satisfaction here. Mr. Swetland is thoroughly competent and will make a good official. Vancouver Register. Real Estate Transfers, Sept. 21st. Sheriff H A. Smith to B. Van Dusen, lot 5, block 128, McClures; S3.

Freeman informs the Mist that the surveyors have got the line lo cated from Astoria to Jewell, where they ceased work, and were, at the time he left home, examining the up per Nehalem. Mr. Freeman says that president Beid and chief engineer Habersham were at his place recently, and stated to him that they proposed to Irun the road by way of Deep creek and Bock creek if a practicable route could be found, as a direct route was what they were after. If they suc ceed in getting a route across the country it will result in the building up of two new towns in Columbia county, one at the mouth of Deep creek, where the railroad leaves the lower Nehalem valley, and the other at the mouth of of Beaver creek, where the railroad will leave the upper val ley, which will each, owing to their central and favorable location, make thriving towns.

After the war the citizens of that town, ihrough the city eouncil, offered him a lot to build on. It was a recognition of the services of the. gallant Mahone brigade. Next to General Bobert E. Lee William Ma hone stood highest in the affections of all true Virginians. He was a son of the state, and, after Lee and "Stone wall" Jackson, her greatest fighter in the rebellion. The -night before the surrender at Appomatox General Lee called Mahone into his tent There the two went over the situation together. They agreed that "surren der was the only thing. General Ma hone did not accept the lot offered by the city, but the citizens united again and by subscription; bought a house and lot and presented it to Mrs. Mahone. She likewise declined to accept" the gifts. But the general bought "on Market street and built the residence which he now occupies, to gether with Mrs. Mahone and his two sons, William and Butler, and his daughter, Nettie. Mahone and the exploits of the Ma hone brigade were celebrated in prose and song. For years the "Little Wiz ard" was the idol of his people. They began to harden toward him when, from his seat in the United States senate, he rose and strode acoss the aisle and shook his fist in the face of Hill, of Georgia. Then he became a Bepublican. Then the idol of Vir ginia and of the south was pulled from its pedestal. To-day all that is left of bourbonism, and there is a good deal of it left, hates William Ma hone worse than it does Longstreet or Mosby. It is because he is the strong est southern Bepublican. It is be cause he has fought and is fighting stilT for a rejuvenated eouth, just as he did in the war, with all his brain and heart and sold, for his loved Vir ginia. This wonderful man was the son of a fine old-fashioned tavernkeeper, who lived on the Jerusalem plank road in Southampton county in the black belt below Petersburg. It is pretty certain that the old gentleman played a stiff game himself, but it is not true that little -Billy became so proficient as to pay his way through college playing poker. He was, on the con trary, what is harshly called a poverty pupil at the Virginia military insti tute, but what is better named a schol arship. He trudged up to Bichmond, indeed, in his, bare feet to see the governor personally and secure his aid. William Mahone oame out a civil engineer and a good one, He built the railroad from Bichmond up to the southern terminus of the Penn sylvania over back of Alexandria. This man, who was a major-general at 30, took charge, when the war was over, of the railroad which ho had built some years before. Itwas then little more than two streaks of iron rust He made it the powerful Bich mond & Danville. He showed the qualities of the born leader at the start off. He sent the agents of the Adams Express company and of the Balti more & Ohio flying from his trains, and went into the express busiuess himself. He wanted to make a dollar and save hundreds of dollars to the communities through which his great transportation company passed. This expulsion of the middlemen did won ders for the farm people all along the road. They found convenient mar kets for their eggs and ohiokens, their milk and butter, their farm and gar den productions generally. General Mahone made money and solid pop ularity all at once. But in the big Bichmond terminal fight the other moguls froze him out. There is a tradition, however, that the general was posted about the movements of the syndicate and made handsomely. There is another tradition that young Butler pocketed a good 30,000 him elf. The substantial houses of the wealthy border General Mahone's on all sides in Petersburg, but the peo ple, no matter how near they are as neighbors, never speak to him or Ins family never notice them. It is his town and theirs, his lifelong abiding place his birthplace almost. Hard by is the church of a strict denomina tion, for which Mrs. Mahone used to subscribe lavishly. She and her hus band and children were driven from it by the denunciations of a minister pounding with one fist and then the other on the very bible which she had presented to him. "They ostracize you here, general," somebody said to Mahono once. "No, I ostracize them," he replied with a smile. In the cavalry and cavalcade cam paign made by the nephew of Bobert E. Lee, and the son of Henry S. Wise four years ago, the basemenf of Gen eral Mahone's house in Petersburg, in which was a large billiard room, was turned into the political headquarters for the Bepnblicans of the whole state. Six busy clerks sat in high ohairs around the covered billiard tables. Three or four short hand men, and typewriters were on hand, and were kept busy "by the little general. The bill for stamps and printing ran all the way from 50 to 8100 a day, and every cent of the money was paid out of Mahone's own pocket. To send all these documents out cost on the average 125 to 150 every day. The general willingly- filled out his check for the amount every night Nobody else put up a cent. The personal bills of most of the candidates and the stump orators were paid by Mahone. All the while he was running the Bichmond Whig, and every Saturday W. C. Elam, a faithful Mahone man to this day would come around and get the generals check for perhaps 500. All the while not a person in Bichmond, not a person in Virginia, dared to put an advertisement in the paper. The blacks have always been ready to bleed for the hero of the crater. He tried to lead them out of a slavery almost as bad as the old kind. They know this. If he has led them in soldierly fashion, he has led them for their own good. An old method of his used to be this: He would divide them in hundreds and appoint to the command of each a colonel; in fifties, each with a captain, and in tens, each with a sergeant Each officer of all his legions would have a great badee to wear, Those of the colonels would be perhaps eighteen inches, and the sergeants perhaps six. The duty of each of the officers was to have his fixed number of voters at the polls to vote early and once. Probablv a cord of these badges lay piled up at differ ent times in the basement of General Mahone's house in the Lee and Wise campaign. This scheme, of course? is gone past. The "Little Wizard" is nothing if not fertile in resource. He will have other methods by which he will get the voters out, and perhaps will be able, with the aid of the law, to have i the ballots counted. Perhaps tho very slick Democratic" managers will find out what these methods are be fore it is too late. Mahone has made the bourbons fear him. John S. Barbour says that the name of Mahone is all the issue the Democrats want to carry the state on. In the cavalry and cavalcade cam paign the platform of the bourbons was: "Wc must carry the state." That will be the battle cry again. "White supremacy," is the battle cry already. Perhaps there will be an other Danville. Perhaps the dead black men will be pulled out by the score, dead or frightened to death, from under the houses and all the hiding places. PERSONAL MENTION.

In awe and wonder, I often ponder, O'er the beautiful scenes on this earth I've seen, Of vale and mountain, and sparkling fountain And beauteous pastures of emerald green; But of all the places, my memory traces Where Nature's bounties with grace were flung, There's none so obeering, sublime, en dearing As the charming scenery of the river Young. The winding river with ceaseless quiver From the distant mountains, comes winding out Where the dazzling glimmer of the nim ble swimmer, Reveals the haunts of the speckled trout. Through level tide land, and woody side land. .Where the woodsman's ax on the air hath rung. Onward it branches, post lovely ranches, That line the shores of tho river Young. On, on it dances, gambols, prances, Past many a flower and luxuriant plant, Flows by victorious, sublime and glo rious The lovely homestead of Mrs. Grant. Ensconced in flowers and shady bowers, Where the rich ripe fruit in the orchard hung, Tne home of the lady stands cool and shady, The prettiest place on the river Young. Joseph Coreoran.
