All they -wanted was a little good example. The funeral of the late Mrs. Mary Johnson will be from her late resi dence at two o'clock to-morrow after noon. There were no real estate transfers tiled for record yesterday, buyers and sellers apparently desiring to give the recorders a chance to catch u;. The military telegraph between here and Ft Stevens, and between Ilwaco and Chinook, is being repaired, at an expense, to Uncle Sam, of $22i. At the house of Capt, Phil. John son, in the presence of a large wed ding party last evening, Bev. G. 0. Hall united in marriage John G. Nie me and Charlotte C. Sjogren. All those interested in the coming celebration of the 21st anniversary of the founding of the order of A. 0. U. "W., are requested to meet at the hall at two o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Pinley, of Michigan was among The Astokiax's callers yesterday. Like a good many other shrewd Michiganders he is putting his spare cash in Astoria and Clatsop realty. "In the prime of the buffalo " is the title of a well written account of a buffalo hunt, in the November Over land, from the facile pen of J. M. Baltimore, city editor of the Oregon -ian. Among other brie a brae on the Oregon yesterday came a case of snap ping turtles for Doc Loong. The powdered claw of a turtle dipped in snuff will cure the quinsy if taken in the dark of the moon, Doc. says. Some line hops at AVilbon A' Fish er's from the Nelialem, show what this section of country can do in rais ing this lupaceous product of the soil, though the present price seven cenls a pound is nni much of an induce ment that way. The southeast corner of block fi, McClure's Astoria, belonging to Judge Taylor was sold by J. II. Mansell yes terday to H. Housman for $T,300. lie also sold 110 acres of land near Knap pa, belonging to Oscar Church to J. C. Adams and Howell Lewis for $1.500..

Some go to Portland, some to Kalama where they are canned. At that place there is a regular sturgeon fishery where they can all they catch and catch all they can. Mrs. T. B. Manning yesterday re ceived the sad intelligence of the death of her sister, Miss Clara Proeb stel, of Vancouver, "Wash. Clara was fifteen years old, and was the life and light of her home. She has many friends hi this city who will mourn her untimely death. The Warsaw, Poland, Kurrier Cod zienny, has an account of the Snlli-van-Kilrain contest. It says: 'Chy baby Kilrainy,'otworzyly siedumbusty punchawskie niebriskie, a zachursun ovgun przysylych padaly stomike demnasty slugga Sullivaiiy. Brak, brak, cterech pajakow!" Betcher life. Ketnruing delegations of Chinese fiom all parts of the northwest to hi bernate here for the winter, makes it possible that Mongolian hewers of wood and purveyors of swill and con veyors of bowels to Bruin will again be obliged to recognize that competi tion governs the status of the labor market. A scow yesterday discharged 27 tons of pulp from the Young's river paper pulp mill,for shipment to San Fran cisco. With a little more machinery, a good article of paper could be made there. Within a short time the daily consumption of paper here would al most warrant the construction of a complete paper factory at that con venient point. The first lobster resulting from the car load of eastern lobsters recently planted hereabouts, that has been produced, is in excellent spirits, hav ing been placed in a jar of alcohol and added to The Astokiax's col lection. The party who borrowed Steamboat Charley's scalp lock aud the petrified salmon will please re turn them, third shelf to the right. Z. T. Wright's naine to an adver tisement is a guarantee of genuine ness. He advertises several things elsewhere and especially a chemical fire engine which to many communi ties is a necessity. Such places as upper town, Ilwaco, Oysterville, etc., should have a chemical engino, and itwonldn't be a bad idea to have one here. The only objection would be that the insurance companies would raise the rates as soon as thev heard of it. The Astoria fire department have presented Dave Campbell with a beau tiful aud massive gold watch chain charm, artistically enamelled. ' Ac companying it was a note from Phil H. Weeks, ex-chief of the department, reading: "Enclosed fiud a small token of regard from the Astoria fire depart ment Hoping when you see it you will think of the boys of the late tour nament at Tacoma." One of the Ta coma policemen will never forget him as long as he remembers him. In 1889, to July 1st there had been collected city taxes to the amount of 12,564.12: from other sources were received 316,776.79: a total of 329,- 310.91.

Joaquin Miller says: "In Spokane Falls aMhe Grand Hotel I saw a lit tle box with a few dollars of change in it out on the end of the counter in the mid. t ot a dozen or two r the d.iih jnp-rs from various places. No one, o far as I ewrsaw, was in charge of either the papers or the money. Auy man who wanted a paper took it, tossed his money into the box and took whatever change was his. I set this down as an incontestable -sign of prosperity, and let us admit, as we bow our heads in humility to the need of that portion of the Lord's prayer which s'lys 'Lead us not into temptation' -of honesty, which is the first-born of prosperity." FOP Pl'ttE FOOD. The Sin Francisco Hoard of Health Notify C.ins'.nuers Which is the Itest Haling Powder. San Franeueu Chwuiele. The Board of Health can engage in no more laudable occupation than the examination of our food supply aud the instniction of the public as to those articles it finds to be pure and wholesome, and which, therefore, con sumers should use. There are quantities of baking pow ders in the market to use which is certain detriment to the health of the consumer. They are made from alum, or improperly compounded from other chemicals, so that they leave a strong alkaline residuum in the food. Many of these powders, having been prohib ited from sale in the East, have been collected by their manufacturers from the dealers with whom they were left on commission, and shipped to the Pacific Coast. The public knows nothing about their quality except what it reads in the newspaper adver tisements. In the effort to gain a foot hold in this market unscrupulous manufacturers of these cheaply made, low grade baking powders have in dulged in extravagant statements both with reference to their own and other brands, claiming the most improbable endorsements for their goods and de nouncing the brands best known and longest used upon the Pacific Coast. The action of the physicians of the Board of Health, therefore, in giving the public reliable, authoritative in formation as to the brand of baking powder to be used to secure the mobt economical and wholesome food is most valuable and timely. The chief brands of baking powders sold upon the Pacific Coast were col lected and analyzed by Messrs. Thom as Price & Son, the well-known ana lytical chemists of San Francisco. They found the strength or leavening gas (measured at 100 F.) of the brands named as follews: NAME. Loavanins Gas Cubic inches per oz, - 191. - 140. - 123. - 116. - 105. BOYAL, Giant, Golden Gate, Dr. Price's, Pioneer, - The general usefulness of a baking powder depends upon the quantity of leavening gas it gives off As these powders are retailed at about tho same price, the most economical is also ap parent. The opinion of the Board of Health is as follews: We, the members of the Board of Health of the City and County of San Francisco, cordially approve and recommend the Royal Baking Pow der. It is absolutely pure andhealth ful, composed of the" best ingredients, of the highest strength and character. In our judgment, it is impossible to make a purer or strouger baking powder than the Boyal. JOS. B. DAVIDSON, M.D. CHAS. McQTJESTEN, M.D. HENRY M. FISKE, M.D. T. J. LeTOUBNEUX, M.D. San Francisco, Aug. 5, 1889. Merrick Reynolds, who, for several years has filled the position of manag er of the San Pedro Lumber company, is alleged to be several thousand dol lars short in his accounts. Last Au gust C. K. Draue, his book-keeper disappeared with $20,000. The affairs have been very unsatisfactory for some time, and president" Hooper of the company went from San Francisco to investigate. As a result Reynolds was discharged October. 9th, and an in vestigation shows a large shortage and his books badly muddled. Bills against the company had been raised by Reynolds, in one case $100 being added. Reynolds claims this was a mere clerical error. The San Pedro Lumber company is one of the largest in southern California. Notice. The following rare works will be sold at two dollars per volume, bouud in half roau.

THE ALASKA SALMON PACK. tannerymeu Turning Their Attention to the Southeast. The Sitka Alaskan has the follow fellow follew ing: Despite all the talk about the fail ure of the salmon run in southeast Alaska the past season, the total pack this year is a good one. The three canneries at Chilcat have put up 50, 000 cases; at Loring the catch is 27, 000, and canneries elsewhere make equally favorable reports. The extra ordinary success of the cannerymen in western Alaska, last summer, made it appear that that portion of the ter ritory would in the near future control the whole industry, but the serious falling off in the run the past summer has made those engaged in the bnsi ness turn their attention to southeast Alaska, the indications being that this section is a more reliable one for a steady pack. The steam schooner Gertie Storey, owned by the canning company on Kayak island, recently spent considerable time in prospecting for cannery sites in the vicinity of Cross sound, and it is more than likely that as a result of her cruise addi tional canneries will be started next year by San Francisco capitalists. Following is from the Jnneau Min ing Review: The steam schooner Qertie Storey, belongiug to the Central Alaska Can ning & Milling company, operating on Prince "William's sound in western Alaska, was at Bartlett bay. a few weeks ago. She brought very dis couraging reports from that section. The above named company sta'fted in this season with a capacity for put ting up about 100,000 cases, under favorable circumstances. The Chinese laborers were insured 50,000 cases to be put up, but the salmon run in that section was extraordinarily small, and they only put up 1,765 cases, which resulted in a heavy loss to the company. The run in this section has been in some localities extraor dinarily large while in others it has been small, however, nearly all the canneries in southeastern Alaska have made expenses and some have realized immense profits.

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 worthwhile 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 itnd in vestigate before- you spend your coin, and that is all I ask of you.
