Xhb Astorian guarantees to Its adver tisers the largest circulation of am m-p.pa-per published on the Columbia river. A good many of the visiting knights returned home on the Telephone last evening. Yesterday's sunshine gave every body a chance to take a pleasant ride or a-Rralk on the street. The proprietor of box 34, Astoria post-office can learn something of in terest by calling at this office. The export lumber trade from this port is largely on the increase. The We st Shore, Clatsop.Skamokawa and Knappton mills being kept running night and day to keep their schooners loaded. Polk county has sneceeded iu re ducing her assessment by about $100, 000 below that of Jast j-ear, though the actual valuation is "undoubtedly very much greater, while Clatsop county's assessment roll as prepared by assessor Parker, is far above last year's estimate of valuation. There is" man ifest need of legislation that will cause the assessment of property in the sev eral counties of the state to be made with a uniform ratio to reasonable value. A state board of equalization is needed that will put a stop to the efforts of counties, to avoid paying their just share of the state taxes. MARINE NEWS AND NOTES. The U. S. fish commissioners' steamer Albatross arrived down from Portland last evening. The British baik Lady Elizabeth cleared for Queenstown yesterday with 20,408,bbls. flour, worth $81,626. The lighthouse tender Manzanita will go to Tillamook rock to land supplies this morning, weather per mitting. The Wenona towed the schooner Premier to Skamokawa yesterday where she will load lumber 'for Sin Francisco. The collier WiUamlte arrived down from Portland yesterday afternoon and after exchanging pilots steamed for Seattle. The new steamboat th.it Win. Mort enson the ship builder has been build ing for parties on the Nasel, was launched from the ways near Badollet & Co.'s cannery yesterday and taken to Arndt & Ferchen's machine shop to have her machinery put in. Yesterday morning the new tug Wallowa attempted to tow the Brit ish bark Lady Elizabeth to sea, but on account of the lack of power the tug could not move the vessel. The tide was just commencmg to flood at the time and there was no wind. It looks like the Wallowa vail have to have more powerful machinery put in her before she will be much use in towing loaded ships. CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS. Taylor, J. Oct. 10. A Kallunke vs. A.

Sellers, presi dent of tho Title Guarantee and Trust company, hears any one telling a story he imagines is rather tough in point of truth, he does not at once accuse the relator of fabricating, but he proceeds to tell one so much farther from the truth that the original yarn is lost sight of and the originator obliged to hide his head. The Colonel had occa sion to exercise his peculiar talent one day not long ago, when a party were relating some hunting experiences. The colonel listened attentively and then said: "Those stories call to mind some duck shooting I did once. It doesn't matter much where, though I could name the locality, and will if any one thinks of doubting my word. I did not have my own gun with me, but I can shoot with most anything, so that did not matter. I had been observing Hocks of ducks flying in a certain direction for a long time, aud they all seemed to alight in about the same spot I crept carefully forward to where there was a large pond, the main supply of the slough I had been watching. When I got a fair view I was startled at the sight. The surface of the pond was covered with ducks. I leveled my gun and pulled the trigger. Would you be lieve it, the gun snapped, but for all that I killed fifteen ducks, aud if it had gone off I would have bagged 200. I had another experience out west once. I saw ducks flying the same as before in in large numbers, and when I reached the spot I saw they were so thick they fairly trod upon each other. I took up a good position and fired, and to my chagrin I evidently did not hit a bird. The whole mass rose skyward, and it looked like a great black cloud. Pres ently, however, I saw something fall ing. Sure as you live it was ducks. The mass on the lake was so thick that those I had killed were carried up, but when in the air the live one3 separated, the dead birds fell through and 1 piokedupL7." The others in the party became mum; they told no more hunting stories. Chicago Her ald. m "What a Pen "Will Do. I was talking with a treasury official on the subject of forgery. "Did it ever occur to you," said the official, "that a forger has half his work done when he can get hold of the identical pen with which the owner of the sig nature habitually writes? A great many men, bank presidents and the like, use tlie same pen for their names only, for a year or two without change. A pen that has been used by a man in writing his name hundreds of times, and never used for anything else, will almost write the name of itself. It gets imbued with the spirit of the signature. In the hands of a fairly good forger it will preserve the char acteristics oi tlie original. tug rea son for this is that the point of the pen has been ground down in a pe culiar way, from being used always by the same hand and for the same combination of letters. It would splutter if held at a wrong angle or forced on lines against its will. It almost guides the sensitive hand of the forger when he attempts to write the name." Washington Correspon dent PliiladeVphia Telegraph. That tired feeling is entirely over come by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which creates an appetite, rouses the liver, cures headache, and gives renewed strength and vigor to the whole body. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsapanlla, which is peculiar to itself. Sold by all druggists. ADVICE TO MOTHERS . Mrs. Winslow's Soothino Syhup should always be used for children teething.

Kesolntions introduced were all re ferred to the committee. Discussion as to the best place of holding the next convention resulted in choosing Oregon City as the place, the time to be left to the executive committee. At the evening session a memorial was prepared to both houses of con gress, and the convention adjourned till two o'clock to-morrow afternoon. It is reported here that the govern ment engineers recommend the aban donment of the work of improving Yaquina bay on account of there not being enough ebb or current to scour the channel.
