iy ?hc JlaHjj itoran. ASTOHIA, OREGON: Fill DAY NOVEMBER 1. 18S5 County court convenes on the 11th inst. . "What is the best paying institution in Astoria? J. T. Outhouse, receiver at the La Grande land ofiice. died last Tues day. And so ends, for the present, pas senger steamboat opposition cm the Columbia. Amai'ii.y.- Hceis .- yon rdny issued to Tony Audcis.tnund Flosence T. Moignn. Tiif eifeiom house now flies but one Hag -the stars and stripes the love nue ilag has disappeaied. Sixteen prizes, aggregatiug about $.3,000. were won in the Havana lot tery, in Astoria last month. The new drum corps rnadt its ap pearance on the streets last eveuiug under the leadership of Professor Stork Ion. Fishing along the water fionl bus be?n forsaken by the buys fur the more alluring pastime of catching the crawfish in his native liar. The two children of the Lai son family in upper Astoria previously reported afflicted with diphtheria are pronounced out of danger. Northwest Washington mail facil ities are so bad that the Tacoma pa pers lrive to patronize the express company to get anything like regular service. The lawful heir. to the estate of the late AVilliam Deck, a prominent pio neer citizen who died in Portland last weel:. are unable to find a will. His estate is supposed to be a very large one. Sec:etaiy E. C. Iloldeu, of the As torri and South Coast railway com pany, yesierday iceeived a check for $51,01) J from S . S. Lndd, in pament of his asse&smfiit as a stockholder of the company. The Uaker City Democrat says that no one can withstand the daily as saults of a blackmailer. Oh yes they can. Tup. Astoriax ha3 withstood such attacks for quite a while and is unaffected by them, all same Cleve land's fable of the moon and the cur that barked at it Astoria's wants are man': her needs are almost as numerous. A dry dock, a bondel warehouse, a first class $10 000 a month-newspaper, a sea wall, a general leveling of the southern land scape, a harmonious city council, a forgetting of ancient grudges, are among the first, needs that come to mind. Carl Hendricks is the maddest man in North America. He is on his way from Portland to New -Orleans. He bought in New Orleans, a lottery ticket that subsequently drew $75,000, but lost the ticket. He now goes to New Orleans to see if he can find the valuable pieces of cardboard among his old duds. Frozen sturgeon are being shipped by the carload from Portland to New York. The fish are caught between here and lvalama. and taken up on the river steamers to a depot, where they are skinned and trimmed, cut into slices, placed in cold storage and frozen hard and then carefully wrapped and packed in refrigerator cars. The ladies' degree of the Knights oE Pythias, which was organized last vear, is spreading rapullv all over the United States. This order is some what similar to the ladies' degree in Odd Fellowship, differing in that it is entirely independent of the Knights' organization, that body having no control whatever over the Pythian sisters. This is the day of the month that about ten thousand dollars is passed from hand to hand in tins city, pay ing about a million dollars of debts. A ten-dollar gold piece will travel from one mail's pocket to another's to-day, and will by night, have paid one hundred dollars of debts, and then, like as not, get back to the man who started it going this morning. Yesterday afternoon as the driver of Thompson & Ross' delivery wagon was driving along Second street, in front of Carnahan's, the front feet of the horse suddenly went through the planks, the horse falling on his side. Everybody expected to see the horse with at least one broken leg but it pulled its legs out without any apparent injur'. If the streets are allowed to remain in that condi tion somebody will suffer from a dam age suit. The body of David Pardnn, a "well known steamboat man who so mys teriously disappeared from the steam boat Stale of Washington of which he was chief engineer, on the trip be tween Seattle and Tacoma last "Sun day night, was found on the beach at Alki Point last Monday morning. It is supposed that Pardun fell from the eteanier opposite the point where the body floated ashore, and that he was struck by the paddle, otherwise being an excellent swimmer he might have reached the shore. Pardun's son Harry, living at Portland, was notified of the discovery. There is to be an entirely new deal in the arrangement of passenger traf fic on the lower Columbia steamers between Portland and this city, re sulting from the withdrawal of the Lurline. Beginning to-day the Tele phone will leave Portland every morning at seven o'clock for this city (except Sundays) returning, will leave jjere following mornings at seven o'clock. This is for the "Washington side. The B. U. Tliompson will do the same thing for the Oregon side. The Potter will leave Portland at 1130 every night (except Sunday) and will leave here at seven o'clock r. ji. for Portand. This will make one night loat and two day boats. The virtues of continuity of pur pose and perserverance are well illus trated by an incident recently occur ring in the next county. A teacher fell in love with one of his pupils, a bright young woman, built a house and mar ried her. To the surprise of the neighborhood, the woman now a wife retained her place in her class and is still a pupil. No charge of favorit ism has been made against the te.ichei-. the pupil is still kep in at recess for imperfect lessoin, si ill holds up her hand to obtain permission to 'go out'' and yet she keeps house and a" husband. The female who will not allow a trifling incident like marriage to interfere with the obtaining of an education is lxund to shine hereafter as a bright, particular star in thesocial firmament. Negotiations are in prQgress in Washington, D. C, for the consider ation of all railways and branches lying between the Cascade range, in Washington, and the Pacific seaboard, and between the Columbia river on the south, and the international boun ary on the north. This will be ac complished under an entirely new corporation. The Portland, Seattle fc Northern Railway company, which will absorb the Seattle, Lake Shore A: Eastern railway, the Columbia & Puget Sound railway, the Seattle & Northern railway, the Port Townsend & Southern railroad, the Olympia and Gray's Harbor railroad, aud the Bellingham Bay & British Columbia railway. The uncompleted portions of all these lines of railway will be completed by the new company, and the whole operated as an indepen dent svstem, which will control this field. A number of prominent business men of Tacoma have been victimized by ajjlevcr swindler kuown as Lucius Reynolds, who disappeared during the past week. He arrived in Tacoma last spring in an "utterly broke" con dition, and sought employment as a carpeuter of a contractor noted for Ins sympathetic disposition and de sire to give the needy assistance. The new comer soon evinced enterprise by taking contracts on his own account Hanson, jeweler, Cohu, merchant tailor, "W. Frazer, cashier of the Taco ma National bank, T. D. Yarrington and others gavo him contracts as he took them at lower prices than other builders. Upon plausible excuses he obtained advances beyond the work accomplished, aud by "getting in debt to material men, was enabled to es cape, upon a pretense of receiving a telegram from a sick wife in New York state, with between $6,000 and S8.000. When last heard from he was at Portland. For many years past the press and people of the eastern and middle states have been in the habit of call ing the states of Minnesota, Wis consin aud the Dakotas the north west. It has been ridiculous of late years, as it was in no sense the north west portion or our great common wealth, but it has been almost due north of the population center, while away out in this true northwest there has been growing up a country that is even now, in its undeveloped state, the marvel of the age. Oregon aud "Washington comprise the northwest, and it is time for the eastern people to understand that by the northwest is meant the great country lying in this quarter of the Union. Let them call their region what it really is the north or anything else "they choose; northwest doesn't go any longer. This is a bigger aud better region and hereafter let it be under stood that it is the only true north westthe greatest on earth and any one elsejtising the title is infringing on our rights. C'OLl'.UKI.V lit AX 2ml ADDITION. The .HcM KcniiuKnble Sucrcss in The Sales or These Additions Ker Knoivn in This City. In less than thirty days from the time that Columbia Addition was put upon the market, the three hundred (:J00) lots were sold. Several parties purchasing them have resold at more than fifty per cent advance. One hundred and sixty eight lots of Columbia Second Addition have been on the Portland market only one week, and ten blocks of twelve lots each, have been sold- Four blocks, or forty-eight lots, were reserved for pur chasers in Astoria, aud seventeen of them have already been sold and paid for. The thirty-one lots remaining are in the -hands of Robert L. Ball at the office of C. J. Hall & Co.; but if wanted they must he called for within the next six days, as our Portland agents are clamoring for them, and any lots re maining unsold after that time will be placed in their hands. REASON'S FOU THIS WOXDEI1FUL SUCCESS. The property, in every respect, is the best of any that has been put on the market in Astoria. These Additions were carefully platted, and put in bet ter condition for being seen and being graded, than any other Additions around Astoria. No time, effort or ex pense has been spared to call the atten tion of the general public to the advan tages of Astoria as the place for profit able investments. Success proves the wisdom of securing first-class property to sell," and pursuing a liberal, honest policy in selling it. Remember that only thirty-one lots of the four hun dred and sixty-eight (4G8) lots in the Columbia First and Secoud Additions remain unsold, and these will be with drawn from the market if not sold af ter six days. K. L. Ball is ready to show the prop erty and give all desired information about it. Astoria, Oregon, November 1st., 18S9. C. K. F. P. IT. Mot ice. The regular monthly meeting of the C. IL F. r.

It was resolved that the secretaries of the respective companies be re quested to furnish certified copies of the rosters of their companies to the secretary of the board. Pending the appointment of the several committees the board adjourned. There is more experience, time, and brain work represented in the prepara tion of Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other medicine. It is this which makes Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar in its cura tive power, and in the remarkable cures it effects. Give it a trial. Some of the farmers living along the AVynooche inform the Chehalis Vidette, that for the first time on re cord, there are no salmon in that stream, not enough being found for their own use. The Satsop river, however, which is only a 'few miles east, is said to be literally alive with them. The stream is so thick with them that to a person who has never seen such a mass of fish, the sight would bo a curious one. Just why they are so abundant in one stream, and so scarce in another only a short distance away, is very strange. Eup'cpsj.

A Small Honipsteatl. Every section of country can boast of diminutive affairs of some kind or other and we want it understood that Polk county comes in for her share. There is a patent recorded at the county clerk s othce by A. Nelson of 1 33-100 acres of land. This is un doubtedly tho smallest homestead in Oregon. And now the question arises does this bar him from making further entry? Opinion seems divided on the question. AVe are of the opinion that it does not, for the reason that every man is entitled to 160 acres under the law. That being the case Mr. Nelson is entitled to 158 77-100 acres in addi tion to that already taken by him. Polk County Itemize)'. Real Eatnti Transfers. Oct. 31. L. B. Abercrombie and wife to M.
