In common with other communities Astoria is infested with a swarm of male and female peddlers aud "agents " who sell everything from a knitting needle to a check on census increase. Patronage enoourages Them the only way to get rid of them is to refuse purchase of their wares. In two places in Friday's Oregontan that' paper's "distorted imagination" locates the coming Knights of Pythias convention at Salem, instead of Asto ria. The "mistake" was an inten tional one. The Oregonian took the item bodily from The Astorian, and wrote in the word "Salem" instead of ''Astoria." Last evening a little after G o'clock during a squall of wind, the front door of Sherman & Thrall's slammed toTvith great force smashing the glass into splinters, a piece of -which struck Miss Katie Thrall on the back of the right hand cutting a small, but very deep gash, which bled profusely caus ing the young lady to become quite faint. The sealing schooner Teresa, of this city, arrived at Victoria last Friday from Behring sea with 650 skins. She was rfot boarded by the Bush during ,- the trip,' but'on the 28th of August, ""during the night, passed a steamer, supposed to be the revenue cutter. Caft .Henderson reportsjlosing two boats, which were stolen by two of the crew, who deserted. One of the deserters went on some other schoon er, and the other landed on Sand Point. Says the Tacoma Ledger: The hose companies from Vancouver and Victoria that recently took" part in the Tacoma tournament, returned home not feeling very kindly toward each other. The Vancouver team allege that the Victoria delegation marched under the "stars and stripes" in the firemen's parade, and the Vic torians retaliate on the Vancouverans by saying their statement is sadly at variance with the truth. The press in both cities has taken the matter up, arid a spicy controversy is now being engBged in between the leading papers of the two cities. Over in Chehalis county not long since, M. Z. Goodell and two other citizens of Montesano were, appointed a committee to inspect a timber claim of 160 acres that was being contested by a man who claimed it was agri cultural land, and not chiefly valuable for its timber. The result of their inspection was the following estima tions by the three inspecters: 16,000, 000 feet, .20,000,000 feet and 25,000,- 000 feet of timber. Une tree was found to have blown down, which th'ey measured. It was 240 feet long. The diameter at the top was 12 inches, and at the butt 36 inchesj making only one-tenth of an inch taper to the running foot Other excellent mast material was found, and it is not un likely that when the authorities reach that case theland will be considered a genuine timber claim.

That the loco- i motive and fifteen care of rails did not reach Astoria to-day as promised, iB solely -the fault of the O. E. & N. Co. Every condition demanded by the agent of that company had been met, and a promise made to load the ma terial on a barge Friday, which would have reached Astoria to-day, but in stead on Friday they loaded the barge with limestone and dispatched her to Oswego. It would seem that the O. K. & N. is purposely determined to delay the laying of the South Coast track till winter sets in. The promise now is to load the barge suie on Mon day, but God only knows what other excuse they will find. President Beid declares if "they don't go down Monday he will countermand all or ders to send freight to arrive over their line. There are fifty-one cars of rails here and this side of Hunt ington. E. C. H. THE DELAYED RAILROAD IRON. Wheie the Blame Lies for Its Detention. For the last three weeks the direc tors and resident officials of -the Asto ria and South Coast Bailway company have been the constant recipients of the questions,. "Why doesnt the iron come?" "Where is the delay?" "Why don't you have the material brought here?" The delay in the arrival of the iron, etc., is and has been wholly beyond tne power of any Astoria and isoutn Coast railroad official to obviote or correct. The delay is in Portland. The ma terial is to be delivered here, and the freight paid here, and to take it out of the hands of those who have the de livering of it would occasion the pay ment of extra and unnecessary freight charges from Portland to this oity. The following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Wm. Beid, the president of the Astoria and South Coast Bailway company, to Mr. B. Campbell, the general freight agent of the O. B. & N. Co., and it so concisely and sue cinctly states the existing facts that it is here published without further com ment, save the suggestion that the directors be given a rest They are doing all they cau, and UQ blame or censure can be justly laid on them: Astosii and South Coast Railwat Co., ;f JraESIDKST'S Ufhok, Poetland, Or., September 27, 1889, B. Campbell, Esq., O. F. A., O. It. cfr AT. Co.: Dear Sib: I regret to be compelled to again complain of the manner in which the Astoria and South Coast Railway has been treated in regard to the shipment of their rails and engine to Astoria, the rails now lying at Albina for three weeks. On account of acoidents to your barge we submitted for a time to the delay un til last week we were promised most faithfully that on Friday (to-day) the rails and engine would go down to As toria sure, and to accomplish whioh I took care on Tuesday to have this prom ise repeated. This morning your Mr. Woodworth again assured me they would go off, and this afternoon I went to Al bina myself in company with director E. P. Thompson and found nothing done. On complaining at 2 V. M. to your Mr. Woodworth through the telephone, he- admitted we were shamefully treated and would see to the matter forthwith; and two hours afterwards I again went to Albina and was told that between the first time at 2 o'clock (you assured me the rails would go) and 4 p. m., an order had been received countermanding the barge going to Astoria, and ordering her back again to Oswego Iron and bteel works with limestone. Suob treatment is scarcely fair. The people of Astoria blame me and not you, and I think it is only fair the cause of delay should be fully explained and their wants attended to forthwith. Unless the -engine and rails are taken down upon ilonday without fail, I fear the board of directors will instruct me to ship the remainder of their rails and ma terial via Northern PaoificJandKalama. If, as I said to Mr. Woodworth, it is the payment of freight which is keeping the rails back, kindly say so. and I will endeavor to pay the freight here at Port land, although the rails being consigned to Astoria, the freight is payable there. I am assured that a check is waiting for $2,732, the amount of the freight on these fifteen cars and rails, to be deliv ered when they get there. As I said to Mr. Woodworth, however, if there is any miscarriage regarding pay mont at Astoria, I shall in that case be pleased to give you my personal guar antee to see that freight paid. A Yours truly, Signed William Reid, President. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Cordelia Bobb, of East Port land is in the city visiting. Chief of police W.

Tinker, living near Upper Lake, was putting a poisoned apple in a tree for squirrels, and placed the ap pie on the stock of his gun to put it up into the tree, when the hammer caught a limb and the load was dis charged, the shot tearing his leg from the thigh to the ankle. F. W. Holmes, of Butte, Montana, who has been at Albany for the pur pose .of purchasing apples for ship ment, saya the apple crop in Oregon this year will not be sufficient to sup ply the home demand. He purchased 1,500 bushels near Gervais for 90 cents a bushel, on board cars. For some little time individual members of the Fishermen's union have been delivering salmon to Hume's cannery at Bap.don, and this week presjaent -auuara made a tender of the organization's catch which was accepted at 30 and 50 cents, the "prioe previously offered and rejected. A queer fact in assessing is brought to light in Pendleton, as it illustrates the widely varied ideas different as sessors have of real estate values. F. L. Bichmond, a Portland drummer, owns a piece of property on Court street which ho will sell for $3,300. It was assessed for the county at $2,000, for the city at S2,800, and for school purposes at $4,450. Governor Pennoyer is in receipt of information through General Miles, now at Linkville, Or., to the effect that the Klamath river has been ob structed by a dam a few miles south of the California line, and that thou sands of salmon are being destroyed. Governor Pennoyer has called the at tention of governor Waterman of Cal ifornia to the matter, asking him to correct tho abuse. John Hayes, a Blue creek E. O., farmer, was found dead under a wagon load of rails on the Blue creek hill last Sunday evening. He had been dead several hours when found. The brake of the wagon suddenly gave way and the wagon surging upon the horses caused them to veer to one side thus overturning the wagon up on Mr. Hayes. There were no bones broken and only a few bruises on the face and head. John Snell, a conviot from Multno mah county, recently performed self amputation of the third and middle fingers of his left hand. He did it to avoid work. He placed the fingers on a board and cut them off with nn stroke of a hatchet held in the right nana, ne is in ior an assault with a dangerous weanon for five vAnrs nno of which he has served. He is a stout, healthy fellow, and the only reason he did it was to avoid work. A drummer in Albany tells the Democrat about a peculiar bet or series of bets, he saw made in Port land. A Democrat and a Bepublican in a hotel bar room bet fifty cents on the politics of every man who went up to the bar. Each time the Dem ocrat betting the man was a Demo crat and the Bepublican that he was a Bepublican. The Republican came out $25 ahead during the evening. Portland is a Bepublican oity. Spokane Falls has a street cable railway the rope of which is pulled by water power. There is plenty of water to spare, for the cable, which is 33,500 feet long, is pulled through the channels at the rate of nine and a half miles an hour. This is pretty rapid traveling for street cars. The fastest time made in other cities is about six miles au hour. Tho Spo kane lino is said to be the only street car system in the world operated by water power. Salem has a business firm that does business on a basis tliat is peculiar, to say the least of it. What makes it seem strange says the Statesman is that it is a well known firm and does a big business. They keep no books whatever, and every night, when the business for the day is over, they divide the cash equally between the two partners. When bills come in to be paid each member goea down in his pocket for his share of the bill. Such is life in the fa.r west with this firm.

Western Oregon and Washington, in the timber district is not a crop growing country at present. The timber that covers it furnishes to its people their chief means of support. The logging camps are frequent throughout the timber districts, and they present a scene of strange activ ity. Monster logs shot through a sort of trough down the mountain sides to a convenient point, are borne by bull teams to the camps, dressed aud'luirried off to the mills on the water. The logman'a ax is a discrim inating tool, It does not take the or dinary timber; it looks for trees only of the finest quality, of the rarest straightness, and of, the greatest power. These are sent into every part of the habitable world. They furnish, masta to the. shipbuilders of England, of France, Northern Africa, and even of Spanish and Southern American. They are shipped in great numbers to Chile, and hundreds are sent every year straight across the Pa cific into tho land fa the Orient.
