At Corry, Pa., -when the free delivery of mails went into operation there wore COO applicants for the four positions of letter carriers. CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. News Items From all Over the Northwest. TheTacoma News proudly says that tho city is out of deht and has money in its inside pocket. orders not to run over six miles an hour when approaching a switch. Tho child recently born at "Weston, Or., without any eyes will bo exhibited TELEGRAPHIC . Specials to Tlie Astorian. That is a clever .editorial in yester day's Orcjonian, on "Wait for tho wag on." Tho man who wrote that is worth $300 a month in a newspaper office, but that particular editorial was written by a man who is only in that particular news paper office about one day in the month.

In its issue of the 30th ult., the Capital Journal in an item entitled "Lots of cheek," goes after a Baker City paper for taking an article from it without credit. Just below, next in the column, and immediately following, is an item written in The Astobian office and swiped by the Journal bodily and with out a word of credit. Tho two together, the rebuke and tho doing what is re buked, by tho rebuker, look funny, but everything gees: 'tsall right. A Chinese Tit Bit. J.H.MANSELL, t. Thorn is nfirhnns. no other nartioular. in which John Chinamen differs more widely from his Anglo-Saxon brother, in his tastes and dislikes, than in his eating. John's delicacies are like himself, in many cases, a rare curiositj'. Pish of certain kinds comes in for a large share of his attention, and the preparation of a choice morsel of the finny tribe, never fails to arouse his usually stolid and indifferent f ramo of mind, into a high state of mental ex hilaration. The other day we noticed a Chinaman busily at work near tho sturgeon pack ing house, and going up to him to see what ho was doing, found him hard at work preparing the long, white, marrow bag, that comes out of the back of the sturgeon, for drying. John takes the marrow bag and hanging it on a nail, proceeds leisurely to open an ond of it, and with the aid of two, small round ofinl-o rtrliipli lift lmltls in nnnli linnd. ho draws out the white contents, and leaves the casing in which it was hem, reauy for drying. The casing is then dried jnd shipped to China, where it brings from 1.50 to ; per pound. It is considered a rare delicacy by the Chinese. The rich man darins of tho Flowery Kingdom use it to make soups and gravies, it forming a delicious gelatinous substance. There is quite a large export business done in this product, and every China steamer from San Francisco, carries many pounds of the precious article aboard. One firm in Portland alone ha3 ten Chinamen at work at different points on tho river, preparing tho artiolo for. ship ment. Tho Chinese make a largo profit out of the article, as it costs them but very little for tho article in its raw state, and the expense of drying and shipping is light. CathUunet Gazette. A CALIFORNIA. SENSATION. .Petaluma Courier. Itis reported thattheealesoftho"Californla Bemedy," Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, have grown within a few months till they are now really sensational. Tho way tho fame of this production has spread 13 simply marvelous. Six months ago it wac unknown. To-day it is all over the country. It is authoritatively ctated that they have been actually giving it away in San Francisco to people afflicted with dvsrausla. sick headaches, indigestion and liver troubles, not to bo paid for unless it cured. Such practical tests are so startHngly convincing as to he almost sensational. It is stated that two of the activo principles of tho new remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom of California and arc so well known to us all under common names that it would surprise ns if told them. But wc are not surprised at anything Callfomlan, and this recent discov ery of the new medicinal virtues of its vegeta ble kingdom is but another instance of tho astonishing possibilities of a soil and ciimato liko ours. Some Alaska Salmon. Amnnn Mm niownmnra nti f.lift Tip.rthtt was Samuel B. Matthews, superintendent of the Karlnk Packing company. The Karluk river is the most important point for salmon fishing in Alaska, and news from there has been looked forward to anxiously by the merchants here. Mr. Matthews says that his company has turned out 05,000 cases of salmon for the season. This is about 40,000 cases less than last year. The cause assigned for the falling off is the amount of competi tion, Ja great number of new canneries having been put up this year. Of these some have been successful, while others have lost heavily. The run in the Kar luk was greater than last year, about 250,000 case; have been packed, as against 200,000 cases last season. Of the outside canneries the Thin Point Packing com pany, at Thin Point, was probably tho most successful, having put up 2.',000 cases. Tho estimated catch at Kurlnk is as follews: Alaska Improvement com pany, 2C.O00 cases; Karluk Packing com pany, C5,000; Aleutian Island Packing comanv, rl,000; Kodiak Packing com pany, 30,000; Hume Packing company, 30,000; Arctic Packing company, 44,000; Jiussian American irucKiug uuiuyauj, 22,000, and the Royal Packing company, 12,000. Of the last two named companies the former put up 5,000 cases at Afognak and tho latter 4.000.-S. F. Chronicle, Oct. 29. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla if you want an honest, reliable medicine.

Tho Northern Pacific passenger trams running west are heavily loaded. This road is coining money and its traffic is still increasing. There is perhaps, no transcontinental road making so much money as is the .Northern .racinc. Relatives and f nends of A. Ensley and F. W. Sever, two prosperous farmers, who mysteriously disappeared near Sprague, are still searching the country. Up to date no trace has been found. Both are pioneers, well fixed and highly re spected.

This is the only steamer on the river that has this feature. It is said to be of great use when towing sideways against a heavy current. Tho problem of ridding tho orchards of Oregon of fruit pests is becoming a serious one. Tho fact that the apple crop of the state is nearly a failure, con fronts the orchardists this year. Fre quent spraying and the supplanting of tho old moss-grown orennras wuu young healthy trees is tho thing most needed. The reports received at the oflico of the rovenuo innrine snow tnui iue pres ence of the cutter Hush in Alaskan wa ters was productive of excellent results, so far as the preservation of the seals is concerned.
