CO ftc gaitjj iioriim. ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY -NOVEMBER 3. 1889. Astoria's railroad will be a broad guage railroad. Astoria's city charter ought to be a broad guage charter. A Seattle paper publishes all mortgages recorded there. The edi tor says he fears no foe. It certainly looks that-nray. a Tiie "Habeas Corpus" is the name of a new saloon near the Portland court house. The president has issued a procla mation designating Thursday, the 28th3inst,'as Thanksgiving day. As a prosperous part of a prosperous na tion, this section has much to be thankful for, and we will observe Thanksgiving day by patriotically eating a better dinner than usual. The people of British. Columbia desire that American steamers now running regularly to provincial ports should enjoy the same privileges as heretofore. They fear the Ottawa prohibition order will interfere with the handling of Canadian bonded freight and put an end tb the rapidly increasing business between Victo; ria, Astoria and Portland. Tiie salmon pack this year discloses one important fact, viz: that the Alas kan coast will soon be "fished out," and that the Columbia river, with proper care will furnish millions of the unrivaled Chinook salmon, when the memory of the salmon of the 'teeming waters of Alaska," will have gone glimmering through the dreams of thing3 that were. This is just the opposite of what was thought would be the case, but facts demonstrate the certainty of the idea. The San Diego Cal., county grand jury charge Douglass Gunn, the mayor of the city, with being drunk for several weeks, and call upon him to resign. They doubtless overstate the facts. Gunn is an example of how prosperity hurts a man. Hcran the Union from 'GS till '8G and many a time after paying the compositors on a Saturday night, didn't have 2.50 left He was the only newspaper man in that county that had the nerve to take dispatches or get out any thing like a newspaper, In '8G he sold the Union at the height of the boom, for 48,000, and since then has been troubled with a surplus in the treasury. m The legality of several timber claims is now in question before the Seattle laud office in the case of the United States vs. Eussel A Alger, and others, involving the title to twelve quarter sections of alleged timber laud in Whatcom count-. The land was taken up in 1883 and transferred to Messrs. Alger and Hawley, who paid five dollars per acre and agreed to pay seven more when a patent was received from the United States." The entries have been held for can cellation on the report of a special agent who claims the laud to be ag ricultural. Much of the land in west ern "Washington taken under the timber land act is doubtless adapted to agriculture and if the cases of the government against Gov. Alger et al establishes the fact that such land is not subject to entry under the timber land innumerable contests will prob ably follow. The case has now been running eight weeks and is probably not over half through. AN ASTONISHING CHANGE. "My dear madam, I never saw you lookiaj vo well, and you wero so poorly, too." "Yes, doctor, Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparllla Is te grandest thing In the world for run-down, i.mu3 and debilitated women. That's the .-fv't ci my appearance." I p to a month ago Mrs. Belden, an elderly ! v.iivinffatSlOirasonstreet.Eanyrancisco, v '."iii'ingluhealthandfleshsorapiSlyasto t oisly alarm her relavivcz. She now . x-s: -I havo taken but one bottle of Jr j s " -table Parsaparilla, but it is as'rnkLijj. -t.i rejralni"g my lost Uesh and havo not . 'Hcllm years." The editor of the Waitsburg Times offers a carload of cats for sale, and the Wallula Herald the same quan tity of dogs; the Walla Walla States man rejoins by desiring to dispose of the same amount of those garden ravishers, the city cow, and the Al bany Democrat offers for sale several box car loads of mongrel tramps. To make its generosity equal to its neigh bors, the Times-Mountaineer states that The Dalles can beneficially Ter "inducements for emigration ,to about oue hundred of the worst class of hoodlums who ever disgraced a city. GUllr-en Cry forFltGlier' s eastorla TELEPE Specials tqTlie Astorian. Portland, Nov. 2. A twentv-seven hours' go as you please walking match will be started to-night at the old pa vilhon. The start will be made at eight o'clock, and the time set for the finish is eleven o'clock next Sunday night The affair will be conducted by Mr. Gerah who will start ten pe destrians among whom will be several women. an escape recaptured. This morning at 3 o'clock deputy sheriff Pitzsimmons and John Curtin, the city marshal of Albina, captured Marion H. Stevens, one of the men who broke jail last Sunday, on the freight train at Kalama, and brought him to this city. REMARKS FROM MR. TAYLOR. Mr. Taylor said to-day: "I do not know what those alleged errors are any more than readers of your paper do. This I can say: It is the first trouble ever reported concerning any of my work." A SPLENDID SHOWING. Washington, Nbv." 2. Miles C. Moore, governor of Washington ter ritory in his annual report says: The closing year in Washington of its territorial existence was one of un exampled prosperity. The popula tion is now fully 275,000, and has in creased more rapidly than in any former year. The property valuation shows a. gain of nearly 50 per cent. Railroad construction has been very active and business houses, banking institutions and manufacturing es tablishments are multiplex. The sales of the land by the Northern Pacific and entries "at the United States land offices have been unpre cedentedly large. Of great disasters Washington has had an undue share. The business portions of four cities, Seattle, Vancouver, Ellensburgh and Spokane Falls have been destroyed by fire involving a loss of not less than 16,000,000. TO BE REMOVED. Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Geo. W. Childs yesterday said the body of General Grant would probably be re moved from New York to West Point, or the Arlington cemetery near Wash ington. The movement" has been on foot for some time. The Grand Army men favor Arlington and the regular army officers West Point. The decis sion rests with Mra. Grant whom Mr. Childs expects to see in a short time. FISHING AND SEALING QUESTION. Ottawa, Nov. 2. It is rumored here that deputy minister of fisheries Tilton has been -visiting Sir Julian Pauencefote,British minister at Wash ington, regarding the forthcoming conference between the latter and Mr. Blaine on the Canadian fishing and sealing troubles. Pauucefote seems anxious to act in harmony with the Canadian authorities, and it is be lieved in official circles that a new treaty will be negotiated within the next six months. a temperance town. Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 2. A company with General Clinton B. Fisk, late prohibition candidate for president, has purchased 100,000 acres of land on the Cincinnati Southern railroad on which a temperance town will be started, to be named Harri-man.

CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. News Items From all Over the Northwest. Seven inches of snow at Spokane Falls. A prospector struck a pocket near Robinsouville, Grant county, last weekaud took out $7,G00 with a hand mortar. Lots at Gray's harbor, which Inst June could have been lxmght for S75 to 100 are now held as high as $3,000. A bonus of SO.OOO was raised at Grant's Pass for the rebuilding of the Sugar Pine lumber mill, burned there recently. That is a good indication of enterprise. The Budget boasts that "Lexington has a female engineer in the person of Miss Lavina Hope, aged 15, who manages her father's planing mill." A good place for a second engineer. The Albany Herald claims to be in jiossession of information rrom a highly reliable source that the Chi cago fc Northwestern deal will not prevent the Oregon Pacific road from making its eastern connection. At the Wallowa county tenn of court the grand jury returned "not a true bill" in the case of a man charged with horse stealing, but added that 'they thought he ought to have an op portunity to prove his innocence." The time was up in Washington last Saturday for fixing war claims of the states of Oregon, California and Nevada. Senator Mitchell visited Captain Mullen, agent for those claims, and ha'd the time extended. The Oregon Iron & Steel com pain are shipping twenty tons of cast iron pipe and twenty tons of pig iron per day to San Francisco, which shows that there is a good demand for iron in California and also that Oregon is ready to supply it. It is not exactly the thing for a city to use money for grading streets that was rontnbued by neighboring towns for the relief pf distressed citi zens. The Ellensburg Reyi&ttr ac knowledges that this is done at Ellens burg. The impression exists among the Portland detectives that H. E. Gibbs, the colored murderer, is in southern Oregon, where he must sooner or later be apprehended. They believe that on the Sunday following the day of the murder he was in Bonneville. The Eugene Register gets it from reliable authority that the militia company in Engene will disband about the first of next April, at which time most of the members will have served their three years. The boys have no good place to drill and have lost all interest in the business. Over thirty booms have been sent out during the past week and about twenty-five men are employed all the time. Aberdeen Herald. Albany has its hands full of one boom, and about the same number of men arc employed in running it; but it is a good healthy one, and everybody is spiked for the business. Albany Democmt. Says an emissary of one of the Washington senatorial candidates to the Yakima Herald: "It will cost Watson C. Squire far upwards of 50, 000 if he is elected senator. Some of this will go to the newspaper men. I know of one in Spokane Falls who re ceived $900 in one draft, and another in Walla Walla who got $250." That it pays to advertise is proven by the Pasco scheme. One thousand persons purchased there last month, and nearly every reader in the north west is compelled to "Keep an eye on Pasco." Sixteen men put $10,000 together and bought a tract of land, not having the least faith in the place, but they are selling at an advance on the strength of the advertising which the place is receiving. There is a movement on foot, backed by some eastern capitalists to improve the Lewis river for logging purposes; the scheme is to place a large pocket boom below the mouth and a shear boom above, put in numerous pocket booms, along the upper side, improve the banks, dam the small mountain streams so as'.to collect water for dashe when the river is low. The company expects to invest about $100,000 or $150,000. Friday morning, says the Portland Telegram, just as the Southern Pa cific had landed a lot of passengers at the west pontoon of the F-street ferry, a chubby little newsboy ran up to a wooly looking individual, and con fronted him with a query: "Oregonia7i, sir?" "No, not by a jug full, you little devil, Pm just in from Calaforny," replied the thoroughly disgusted trav eler, as ho went off muttering, "Taken fer a webfoot b' gosh. Mr. Harriot, of McMinnville, who is in the neighborhood of eighty years old, wants to get married. This in formation he gives to everybody, the girls especially. The other day, says the. TelepJione Register, he repaired to tho house of ayoung lady whom ho was smitten on, and invited her to take a buggy ride. She promised him that she would go and he made prepara tions. He met her on the street sev eral limes after that and she ignored him; this angered tho old man, and oue day last week he went to the house at which the girl was working and be gan to upbraid her. The lady weighs about tea stone and is "husky," and she made a rush upon Mr. Harriot and caught him, holding him until another girl bound him with ropes. Arter this the girls had a great time doing pretty nearly everything a couple of girls could think of. To use Mr. Har riot's own words he was "in great danger of losing his manhood." Af fer the affair was over land the old man was turned loose he "went to recorder Spencer to have the girls arrested for "personal indignities to his person," but no arrests were made. He is now busily engaged telling every onehis.NoXTttC9 a. at therS adventure. , Novelty Store. J. H.MANSELL. NOTARY PUBLIC FOR STATE OF OREGON.
