& Tk gJailjj gioran. ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 23. 18S0. A mnrrifinvi lirnncn w-icvootirdnv !c. sued to Lars Olsen and Martha Sten- son. To date -181,068 cases salmon have been received at San Francisco from Alaska. Astoria lias seven newspapers, nine churches, ten ministers and one Sal vation army. Eobb fc Parker offer n mot desir able chance for investment -oie hun dred feet square, gnol hussine-. prop ertyfur S7,o00. Ir is suggested that the mayor and citj council bs paid annual salaries. Certainly, why not? Is not the labor er worthy of his hire? J. H. D. Gray yesterday sold to J. J. Morgan and Judge Archibald of Hillsboro, ten lots in Hustler & Aik in's addition for S1,20U. Hay from Deep River is selling for S16 a ton. It is real sure-enough hay, and not the straw that used to be brought from California and sold here for 23 a ton. There was no council meeting last nighr. Councilman Welch was on hand, but councilman Cleveland wasn't, and as there was no chance for any fun, the local parliamentary session was adjourned till next Tues day. On a chaige of robbing T. Kelly, Harry Whalen was yesterday held in the sum of 150 to appear before the next grand jur. '"Micky Fat," his alleged confederate in crime, will be brought down to-day, and given a chance to explain. A Kansas paper, the Oslwrne Jour nal, gives the following prices on farm products. The quotations aie of a late date: Wheat. No. 2 hard, 50 ceulb; No. 2 soft, 55; No. 3, 50; oats, 12; butter, 8 to 10; eggs, 13; potatoes, 25. Compare it with Astoria prices. "Wh are ou pulling in round man hole on the Main street sewer?" was asked Itob't Carrnther.-, 711 limes esWd.iv. The reason is that he and his companero, Ben WorsleyJ think that round man holes will stand the tooth of time belter than square ones. Monday evening a man named Gus Olsi'ii had his left foot badly crushed bj getting it between the roller and carrier on the loggiug skid at Ihe West Shore mill! He w1s taken to his room and medical aid summoned. He is now limping around with the aid of a cane. A meal that would cost fifty cents in Portland, Seattle or Tacoma, is fur nished by the Astoria restaurants for twenty-live cents. A little eo-opera-tion on the part of the city lestaurants would result in a little more opportu nity for profit than the pieeut scale of prices affords. The sapient board of trade are still of the opinion that they can override Federal legislation, and make the Dingley bill inoperative -in Portland. If they will take care of Chaplain Stubbs, Jim Turk, Bunko Kelly and the widow Machree, Astoria will hold thiugs level down here. When you miss any Astorian now, you cau safely suppose that he or she have gone to the Portland fair. To-day delegation of the A. O. TJ. W., will take it in. One prominent A. O. TJ. W. man says he's going to tackle Ajeeb, the automatic checker player, and get away with it, or know why. A Portland man went into a store last week and put a lighted cigarette on the edge of an aquarium. A gold fish seized it and took a puff. For several days the poor thing lay at the bottom of the tank and panted like a tired dog. Its color changed to jet black, and the owner of that cigarette has sworn off for keeps. A big chunk of suet floating in front of Flavel's wharf yesterday, was seized upon by two gulls larger and fiercer than the rest, whom the two kept at bay. It was a good deal like humans: they all -wanted it, and the two who claimed it by possession were no more able to enjoy it than the ethers: they trying to keep it, and the lest trying to" get it away from them. The steamer Oregon is due to-day from San Francisco with the following passengers Miss P. Elister, Miss Brock, Mis A E. Wood, Mrs Lister. J. Clm4euk-ou and wife, Miss Fuller, AliSo Browu, Mrs. Hairman and child, F. McCai ty, O. Stevens, C. Johnson, H. Bush, A. Bankin. H. E. Davis, N. Black, N. Stevens, J. Bach ram. "Vt il liam Black and J Jost ph-Hit Shoalwater bay is now being boomed by telegraph in the Oregon ian. under regular dispatches. The Kansas men who boomed Gray's harbor last summer are now working the same racket for all it's worth at South Bend, and say they will drop that as soon as it shows signs of flag ging and head for the mouth of the Columbia, where they will "wind up." This is announced as their pro gramme. Light house inspector Bhoades has made such representation's to the de parhnent that they have ordered esti mates to be made to see what a new boiler for the Manzanita would cost, which is a long step toward getting a needed new one. He is in hopes that he next congress will make an ap propriation for another boat for this district, which is much needed, as the extent and growth of the commerce of this region is now being better un derstood at Washington. The steamer Rival brought over yesterday morning ten sturgeon, caught by Dave Upton at the entrance to Deep River. They would average 150 pounds, and were taken to Port- land this morning, where they 'will fig ure on the restaurant bills of fare as "sea bass," or "Spanish mackerel." The ivay those big fish are caught is simple enough. With their big suck er like mouth they lie snoozing at the bottom of the water and pay little at tention to hook or line. A stout line is fitted with four grappling hooks, and this simple apparatus is trawled till it comes in contact with the slug gish carcass of the sturgeon, the grap ple inserting itself in any part it strikes, when the unwieldy fish is hauled alongside, killed and towed to shore. No community ever prospered, no town ever grew, without some com bined effort for the general good without some expenditure of money. The towns that have happened to possess men who have worked to gether for the general good have forged ahead, while those who have been content to sit down and let for tune come, have gone to decay, or have not progressed. People who would progress must do something must take some chances. At this age it is hard to call to mind a town that has grown to any importance without having put out some sort of exertion; without having done something other than sit down and let prosperity come or go, according to its whim. Towns and communities, as well as inviduals, must seize opportunities. SUDDEN DEATH Of Mis. Mary Johnson, Last Nigut. Mrs. Mary Johnson, the beloved wife of Capt. Eric Johnson, diedather residence in th3 city of heart disease at ten o'clock last night. Her death was a terrible shock to her family. She had long suffered from heart dis ease, but had borne her sufferings with fortitude, few realizing the fact that she had so serious a malady. For a week or so she had been ailing, but yester day felt much better, in fact unusually well, being up and around all day. Last evening she felt faint and lying down passed painlessly away, leaviug a sorrowing husband and three chil dren, two girls and a boy. She was the oldest daughtor of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Parker, and celebrated her 33rd birthday last Monday. The family have the sincere sympathy of a large number of friends aud acquaint ances who will hear with regret of the untimely death of one who was held in high esteem by the entire com munity. PERSONAL MENTION. Judge Deady is ill at Washington. Ed W. Deady wind wife are in the city. Frank Spittle has been appointed notary public.

Joe Surprenant, is confined to his room with an attack of sciatic rheu matism. A dispatch is received from Mrs. O. P. Graham, saying that her hus band, in Chicago, was much better. Among the many Astoriaus return ing yesterday from Portland were Mrs. B. Carruthers, Mis3 Grace Carruthers, Ed W'right, Chas. Brown and T. S. Loughery. Marion D. Egbert has been ten dered the position of managing editor of the Spokane Chronicle, but will not accept, preferring to remain at Walla Walla. Chas. Albert, one of the crew of the ill fated Alaskan, which went down off Cape Blanco last May, was not drowned, as supposed. " He writes from Hong Kong to his mother that after the steamer went down he floated on a piece of wreckage for seven days when he was picked up by the bark Kitty, lumber laden from Astoria to China, and that he expects to be back next January.

Unreliable Rumors And Tangible FacK It was reported to The Astorian yesterday that important measures had been decided upon by the direc tors of the Astoria and South Coast Railway Co., which included the pur chase of what is known as the Kin ney cannery: that the work of laying track thence westward to Smith's Point would immediately begin: that tracklaying westward from the point now reached west of Skipanon would cease, and that work would begin on the railroad trestle westward from this side Young's baj and the im mediate construction of a depot at the site of the cannery. Inquiry as to the truth of these tum ors developed Ihe following facts: At the last meeting of the board of directors a proposition for the sale of the Kinney cannery was made, but not acted upon. It is believed that the depot will be located in that vic inity, negotiations being now in pro gress to obtain sufficient ground at the north end of the street for that purpose. Work of tracklaying does not stop, but on the return of engineer Haber sham the intention is to begin, as soon as possible, the work of laying track westward from J. C. Trullin ger's to Smith's point, and also to begin the construction of the east ern portion of the trestle, and extend it from this side of Young's bay to the channel; the contract for building the draw bridge across Skipanon creek is to be let in Portland to-day. President Reid has gone to New York with the S3,000,000 bonds to place them in that city, and every thing is moving along satisfactorily toward the final end of having rail road connection "in accordance with the terms of the contract. Valuable Cargo of Canned Salmon. The British ship Othello was cleared from this port yesterday for Liverpool with one of the moat valuable cargoes sent out of this port iu a year. She carried 59,515 cases canned salmon, valued at 8300,841, including 5,000 cases iu transit, valued at 27,500. She also had some canned fruit, wheat and cotton. The total value was 331, 000.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most econom ical medicine to buy, as itis the onlv medicine of which can truly be said, "100 doses one dollar." Do not take any other preparation if you have decided to buy Hood's Sarsaparilla. "Kin a Crack Move?" There was company for dinner at Dilly's house and they were enjoying the first course, which consisted of oyster soup. Dilly made away with her's some time in silence until she had nearly cleaned the plate, when sho suddenly paused, and looking at her mother across the table, said, in a stage whisper: "Mamma what you fink? dere's a hair in my soup!" "Hush, Dilly," said mamma frown ing; "it's nothing but a crack in the plate." Dilly moved the bowl of her spoon back and forth, over the supposed crack, and then exclaimed triumph antly: "Kin a crack move?"' Detroit Ad vertiser. Their Business ISoomiu. Piobably no one thinglias caused such a general revival 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 from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints. Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, and all throat aud lung diseases quickly cured. You can test it before buying by getting a trial bottle free, large size Si. Every bottle warranted.

You may doubt it, but in course of time you will ap prove the popular verdict by going- yourself where the commercial tide sweeps the trade to ; you may trade else where because habit makes it natural; you may dismiss this from your mind because, well, perhaps, because you don't think it worth while to remember it; but in course of time the cold truth will force itselt upon you, that while you sweat and save in one way, you are extrava gant in another, and as soon as you realize this fact you will turn a new leaf and in vestigate before you spend your coin, and that is all I ask of you.
