'Send me The Astoktan'," is the parting injunction of ninety-nine out of a hundred of our residents when going on a lengthy .visit am where, and, to them, nhen away it is a most welcome daily visitor, bringing a daily epistle of home news tmd happenings. Among the many hundreds of per sons that played chess and checkers with Ajeeb, the wooden man at the fair in Portland was G. C. Pulton, who is believed to be the only mau in the state that beat it in n game of che3s. Eugene Protzman, of Portland was the only man in the state that beat it in a game of checkers. Coliuty superintendent Shively says the position assumed by Titr Astorian regarding the exchange of school books is correct, and that till the dif ferent superintendents are satisfied that the children with oldschool books to exchange are supplied with the corresponding new ones, the time for transfer "will be open. Of course this does not apply to new pupils, purchas ing school books for the first time. While in Portland last week an-As- toriax reporter visited eCordray's mnsee and theater, and while there a man performing on. the irapeze fell to the ground striking squarely on his. head, seriously injuring liiinself. A couple of nights before the same man fell from the same trapeze under like circumstances. All theater minagers should be made by law to have a network under performers giving ex hibitions above the heads of the audi ence so as to save them from injury. Snpt.

' J An' officer on the steamer Arabic, wJbiehn3Tied'tjj;San Franqisco lastrj week from China, tells the following sto'ry regarding' the American bark, City Cape: While the bark was in Hong Kong a Chinese painter wasen gaged to paint her name on both sides of her bow. On one side he duly pro duced in "bold letters the legend, CAPEOITY,. without any,fpacing be iweon the words. Then lie looked at what he had done and saw that it was excellent, and noted carefully that the "y" came nearest the stenxof the .ship. Full of this useful konwl edge he passed around Ins stage and began to paint the same legend on the other side. Bemembering that the xy" was forward and the "c" aft, ho "feet energetically to 'work and bei fore long on the other bow of the bark appeared the striking legend, "I'TIOEPAO. The. last ronnuasde lighted with his work, and the captain intends to keep the name as it is painted as an example of how severely logical the Chinese inind is. , A round steak is the mo3t econom ical and the most epicurean of steaks. No otjier cut approaches it in fla.vor, and -vvhile'in a sirloin steak weighing four pounds nearly one half is either bone or fat, or inferior meat, every .atoin of a .round steak of that, weight is available. In the round steak the best cut is midway between the chuck and the shank, about where the leg i8 the thickest. Never purchase any thing but a top round for other than stewing purposes. A clear and hot lire, a hot and slightly greased grid iron or frying pan, an evenly cut steak, a hot dish, hot plates and instant con sumption there j ou have the whole law and gospel of cooking and serv ing a beefstealc. " A round steak is better cooked in a very hot pan than upon a gridiron. Use no fat except that which is on the meat. In turning it stick the fork into the' outer rim of fat never into -the meat. Transfer to a "het: dish containing butter, pepper and salt, turn over once on the way to the table, and if there is any waiting to be done, Jet .your guest 4 wait fpr the steak" but; never treat" a good piece of meat so sliabbiTyas to let it do the waiting- Perhaps the smallest- town in the world in which a newspaper is pub lished is Orondo, in the Big Bend country the home of the Orondo Neivs. The village consists,of three not very imposing buildings, one being used as a store, one a3 a dwelling, and ono for the printing office. The present j population comprises eight souls four adult males, three women and a little girl. The town lies immediately on the left bank of the Columbia, where that grand river rushes between steep mountains on the west and high, abrupt bluffs on the east The com positor on the News "keeps batch" in the little room occupied by the type cases ,-and a -six column jinny "press. A "kitchen tablo isusld'for an"ufm posing stone" and the cook stove serves to warm the-pffice and fry the bacon 'for both. editor and printer, But one other house can be seen from the "town" and that is across the river' at 'the foot"- of " an al most perpendicular mountain, which towers abruptly fully 1,000 feet above the river, leaving Wrel v enough level space at the river bank for a house. Where the patronage of the Newi comes in from the spectator can not see as there can not possibly be moro than a dozen persons living within a radius of three miles from Orondo.

I- ' -V - ' ' ! AN IMPORTANT MATTEE. Improvement of Adjacent Streams. Official Correspondence Regarding Same. In immediate response to requests that a move be made in the jnatter, secretary E. C. Holden, of the Asto ria chamber of commerce under in structions from the chamber, sent the following letter last Wednesday: Astoota, Obegon, Oct 23rd, 18S9. To Major Jones, Corps of Engineers, U.S.A.,Poitland, Or. Deak Sib: Instructed by tho As toria chamber of commerce I respect fully ask if it is within your province to appoint a person to examine navi gable streams in this vicinity, tribu tary to the Columbia river, in order to make estimates on 'which to base an application to the government for the removal ' of obstructions to" the navigation oC said streams. Tn explariationJE wo'uld state that the numerous settlements on the banks of Tjewis and Clark and Jobn Day's river, and of tho sloughs lead ing to Knappa, Westport and other places in this county, and, also those of Deep and Gray's river. Wash., across the river from Astoria, have in creased and are rapidly increasing in proportion and commercial impor, tance; small steamers with full loads plying to and fro from this city, some daily and others two and three times a Week. The settlers have pe titioned ' this chamber to use its in fluence to have snags and other ob structions to navigation removed. In petitioning our congress and repre sentations to procure appropriations to secure the. desired improvements we are informed that it is necessary we should furnisli them with esti mates 6f the probable amount re quired." The question with the chamber is as to who has the power to order the examination necessary to intelligently approximate the amount of the needed appropriation. ' Will you kindly inform us at your earliest convenience. Yours respeotfully, E. C. HoiiDEN, Secretary. To the above the following reply has been received: United States Engineer Office, ) , Portland, Or., October25, 1889. ) E. C. ff olden, Esq., Seci etary Cham . her of Commerce : Dear Sir: Your note of the 23rd iust to Major Jones, corps of en gineers, TJ. S. A, making inquiries as to the proper steps to be taken in or der to seoure appropriations from con gress for the improvement of certain streams mentioned therein, has been referred by that officer to me. Iu reply to your inqniries I will state that the usual mode of procedure in such cases is for the congressman of the district, in which the streams are situated, to go before the river and harbor committee of congress, when that committee is making up its bill and request that these streams b placed upon the list for survey and examination, and estimate of cost of improvement. When the bill is passed, if the streams are included in its pro visions, the engineer in charge of the district in which they are located is directed to make a preliminary exam ination, and if he finds them worthy of improvement by the general gov ernment, he so reports with the facts in the case. A survey and plan of improvement is then made with an es timate of cost. These are submitted to congress for its approval and as a basis on which to make appropria tions. There is no .power resting -with tho secretary of war, or the chief of en gineers, to order surveys or estimates for improvements to be made that have not in some way been provided for by act of congress. Neither is it the policy of congress to take action on estimates that have not been pre pared under its own direction. Very respectfully, Yours truly, Tnos. H. Hakdbury, Major, Corps of Engineers. TJ. S. A. , Major Handbury's letter is explicit! and of value, giving a clear idea of the usual necessary procedure in such cases.- The chamber of commerce is always prompt in attending to these matters, and the resident government officers equally prompt in response. There is considerable red tape involved in the work, and the sooner preliminaries arei begun, the sooner the actual work can be in hand. The Astobian is a great believer in the efficaoy of prayer, and thinks that if a petition backed up by reliable statistics be prepared by the opening of the 51st congress that some of the usual Qircumlocu.tion can be dispensed witn, ana. tms most necessary worn considerably hastened. A Scrap ofJPaper Saves Her Tdfo It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap ping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told Dv physicians that she was incura ble apd could live only a short time; slic weighed les than seventy pounds. On a piece, of wrapping paper sneread of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a larger bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weighing 140 pounds.

Rankiu, the tombstone-maker on Salmon street, had a queer experience recently with a Chinese a short time since. The celestial called upon Eankin and negotiated a head-stone for a departing friend, commencing with, "You sabbe, dloctor he killem to-night, I come get sligmyouplut'em on, him letters, Chinese chalacters, sabbe, to-mollow I give you dlate, day, month, year, sabbe; when dloctor he killem." Mr. Rankin had the stone made and the next day the heathen again appeared with the in formation that the "dloctor he no killem j et, but say he sure killem to mollow." The next day he he again showed up with the .startling news that 1 he "dloctor lie no yet killem, and finally he informed the tombstone dealer that the doctor had told him that he -wasn't going .to kill his friend. so he didn't need the tombstone. On this showing a compromise was effected, by the Chinaman paying half-price for the stone and the dealer keeping the same to work into a marble mantel. An explanation of the Ohmaman s conduct is, that a Chinese was ill, and the physician in attendance Tkept telling liis friends that he would' die during the night, or would not live until morning. The Ulnnamans way of wording it was "The dloctor he killem to-night." and finally, "Well, the dloctor he no killem," meaning that the man, strange to relate, got well and therefore tho tombstone wasn't wanted after all.

Make a bold and impetuous jump from the eight by ten colonial sheet with its insignificant attempts at advertising to the remarkable New York Herald that charged and re ceived for a column advertisement on its fifth page 100,500 for one year. The Herald has published in its Sun day edition as many as five thousand advertisements in one issue, and what the Herald did ten years ago other great journals are far exceeding tp-day. Hot infrequently a single ad vertiser has been known to make con tracts for over lialf a million dollars in advertising in a year.
