ZJ fo gaftjj Mtorau. ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY ..NOVEMBER 9. 1889. Twenty years ago there roamed over the plains and mountains nearly 8,000,000 buffaloes. To-day there are less than 500 head of the animals in existence. Tns locomotivo engineers promise hereafter when they go on a strike to lake in all the men on the entire system. The headquarters of the organization will bo at Cleveland, Ohio. The question of what to do with the cigar when it i3 necessary to remove it from the mouth, and the hands for any reason cannot retain it, has been solved. A gentleman calling upon Secretary Rusk the other day placed his lighted cigar be hind his ear. A Justice of the paaco in New Jersey has just made a queer decision. John "Wolf put a stuffed wolf at his door to represent his name. A dog destroyed the sign and the justice holds that as the stuffed wolf represented John "Wolf the dog is guilty of biting the man, and his owner must pay 25 damages. The novelists, reporters and others who write Indian speeches beginning" with the words, "1 am the last of my race; the red man is vanishing before the white man as the leaves," etc., had better look up the facts. It now seems that any statement to the effect that the number of our Indian population is slowly decreasing is not in accord with the truth. The Indian is not dying off and vanishing from the earth any more than the Caucasian is. They have for the most part, adopted semi-civilized habits and live quiet lives. They are in creasing rather than decreasing. In the quiet, orderlj' communities of the Indian territory, in the reservation of Dakota and in the pueblos of Now Mexico and Arizona tho Indian is encamped peace fully and his children are being educa ted. He is fairly prosperous, provided tho Indian agent and the contractor do not try tostarvohim, and he is raising his family and increasing in the land. Snn Francisco Salmon Imports and Ex ports. The Loudon Grocer's Gazette, evident ly basing its opinion on early reports from this coast, says in its issue of Octo ber 19th that the pack of Alaska salmon will be below that of last year, and that theEnglish market will bo relieved byship ments thence to the Eastern States where stocks are low, and that they must be re plenished from England as there are no existing stocks in California. That will be news to Californians who were under tho impression there were about 300,000 cases in San Francisco. Tho figures aro as follews: Receipts for tho season, by months, as per books of tho Merchants' Exchange: Interior. Coast. North. Cases. Cases. Cases. April r.,o9o May 5.25 June 4,500 luly.

These representatives afe also to develop the mines and guano deposits, improve the lands turned over to them and develop and improve the railroads. It will require 30,000,000. to put the rail roads in shape. EMEIN BEY'S POSITION. New Yobk, Nov. 8. Herbert Ward, the African explorer, says, concerning the disaster which has befallen Jimin Bey: "It is remarkable that two of the worst of the recent disasters in Central Africa have taken place on August 1st, and that Wadelai fell only one day later. Jamieson died August 17th, Bartellot's camp at Yambuy was wrecked August 17th and Wadlai, with Emin Pasha and Jephson fell, August 15th. It cannot be said when white men will never regain their hold on this part of Central Africa. The discovery that Lake Muta Nzige is the western headwaters of the Nile, and is not connected with the Congo, is new and valuable. The places which Stanley said he passed through after leaving Albert Nyanza are valleys. Many names have never been used be fore. Stanley may now take a canoe across Lake victoria Nyanza to the south and proceed to German east Africa, to to Mpwapaw and reach the coast at Bag amojo. It is very probable that he will, but it depends entirely on the nature of his supplies and the disposition of the natives. I expect Stanley will arrive at .anzibar soon after Christmas." Is Consumption Incurable? Read the follewing: Mr. C. H. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy sieians pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made." Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio, says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumptien I would have died of Lung Troubles. Was given up by doctors. Am now in best of health." Try it.

Poultry Raisins in California. Tho Post contains an amusing account of the experience of two Washington young men who hired a place eight miles from San Franoisco and began tho busi ness of poultry raising. "We Bcoured the country," says one, "for setting hens and had scores of them on clutches of eggs all marked with charcoal on one side so the hens would know enough to turn them over every day. Eggs won't hatch even if they arn't turned over every twenty-four hours, you know. It's so, but I don't know why. "We had hens in half-barrels, hens in boxes, hens in coops, hens in the house, hens everywhere. Partner and I bad just counted up wealth till we couldn't rest. We figured out from what eggs we had set, allowing half were roosters and that tho pullets would only lay 100 eggs each for the first year, that by the end of the second vear we would havo 387,000 hens, 4,000,000 chickens, 25,000 eggs a day and an income of $800,000 per an num. Some of the eggs were bad, occa sionally a weasel would kill a hen, and once in a while a biddy would throw up the sponge before the twenty-first round was finished, but we had very good luck and the chickens began to sprout pretty fast, and we had nearly 300 shucked and peeping around forty hens tied to stakes with pieces of red tape. Then partner saw an advertisement of an incubator' and he sent and got a cir cular. It told how the Egyptians had raised millions of chickens for 4,000 years from hatching ovens. 'And now Am erica,' the circular continued in a splen did peroration, 'again leads the world with the greatest invention of the age, a self operating incubator.' The circular had a out of the incubator, with eggs showing through the slats and hundreds of chickens jumping around. It was a great treat to watch them. Partner in sisted on having one and I objected, but he stuck to it and nnally l gave m and he got one for 75. Tho first batch of eggs it held 400 got boiled hard in tho machine by a pebble getting into tho in dicator. We ate hard boiled egps for weeks. The second lot came on finely, much to my surprise, and when the lit tle fellows were born, 150 a day, part ner increased the profit to an even mill ion. I enthused a good deal myself. It did look easy. ''The chickens," tho narrator con tinues, "did right well. We had a Chi naman to do the heavj' work, and part ner kept the books. He didn't know much about book keeping, but he would figure out a surplus like a Democratic orator talking about the treasury. I used to sit under a white umbrella and watch the little puff balls cut up. One would find a worm another would catch hold and pull, then half a dozen would catch on each side and they would have a regular tug of war. It always ended by the worm turning peacemaker. lo would come in two divide to keep tho peace. "Une day 1 saw a chick standing in tho sun on one leg, His neck wa3 all drawn in and his eyes closed. His feathers didn't seem to fit. Every few seconds he would reach out his neck and screw it around as if he had on a collar which chafed him, else was trying to swallow a quinine pill. Its funeral took place within twenty-four hours, and a hundred more puff balls tried to swallow grief and balance on one leg. It was the pip or the roup or some other infatile hen dis ease. Matters were serious. We had over 4,000 chickens, and in less than a week I was trundling a wheelbarrow full of the chickens and planting them in the can yon. "In another fortnight we deserted the ranch, leaving forty setting hens, about a hundred roupy chiokens, an incubator and a Chinaman. They may bo thero yet." NEW TO-DAY. A Card. PKOF.
