CT mt gailjj gtm&n. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY. .NOVEMBERS. 18S0. Tnn great Jefferson oil fields of Pennsylvania liave shrank in tlieir oil production from 7,000 barrels per day, to 500 barrels. - The rainfall in New York city this year up to November 10th was fifty one inches, which is eight inches above the average. It is difficult in deep sea fishing to land your fish after you have caught him. All this trouble will soon be ob viated by the use of the electric fish ing line. There is scarcely a journal of in fluence in the United States that has not written of the Australian ballot as developed in Massachusetts with commendation. All, signs point to big snow in the Cascades this year. That means high water next year, a great aid to the work the jetty is now doing at the en trance to the river. As an investment at present prices Astoria real estate offers unrivaled in ducements to those who want to see their assets and material wealth rap idlv increase in 1890. The Kuights of Lalxr were organ ized twenty years ago, on the 30th of November. The first general assem bly was held in 1879, and the name of the order was first publicly announced in 1SS2. Theke will be an effort made dur ing the coming session of congress to found a penal colony somewhere in Ala3ka for United States prisoners. The effort is a mistake, and should re sult in defeat. A Sharpei: is making a good in come by advertising a sure method of killiug insects. "When you send him .0 cents you receive a card with these werds: "Get your insecLs to smoke cigarettes. It will kill them." Washington county's tax roll shows an aggregate of S1,S60,130. There is an "indebtedness" of 1,600,000. There are 4,328 hogs in the county, and ihey are only worth 3,46080 cents a hog. Who believes it? Astoria needs a new custom house, and should have it. The present one is neither useful nor ernamental: the present business, the past profit, and the future prospects justify the de mand. Let us work for a new custom house. The attention of the chamber of commerce is directed to tho fact that wheat is now being shipped from Walla "Walla to Portland, and from Portland on the Ldkme, past our doors, to Tacoma, there to be loaded foreign. The chamber should at once pass a resolution, or appoint a com mittee, or both, as the exigencies of the case mav demand. A max in Aroostook county, Maine, claims to have spent three days in the top of a pine tree without food or water. He climbed up niuety feet to get to an eagle's nest It was a Nor way pine, with very smooth bark, and he used climbers similar to those used by telegraph linemen. AVhen he got to the nest he was taken sick and dared not descend for fear of falling. He made a resting place for himself and managed to hang on until his gid diness left him, when he descended. The Pioneer yesterday morniug showed the density of its ignorance by implying that C. P. Iluntington, was in with the Union Pacific. To add to its guilt it deliberately stated a falsehood, which Mayor Page this morning promptly contradicts. Igno rance is bad enongh; stupidity in a newspaper is worse; but we could, in charity, have acquitted it of even these grave lapses, had it not descended to a deliberate lie; thus illustrating the contemptible trickery of the entire concern. When a man strikes this town if he has S100 or 100,000. or hasn't got a cent at all, if he shows a disposition to go ahead and amount to something, it is for us, you gentle or ferocious reader, and all and sundry, to stand in and help him along. In helping others to prosperity we help ourselves, ft is the only way to make a town grow and blossom into the biggest pos sible fruit This "freeze-out" police- is bad, because you see, the fellow that 13 to be frozen out mav take a notion some day to retaliate, and then there is two of a kind to draw to, with a strong chance of getting another. Let brotherly love abound, and great will be yonr reward. Yea, verily. the Astoriax is in receipt oi a long letter from the American tariff reform league, and a letter from Hugh McCullough on the same question. Life is too short in Astoria to waste time on post-mortems. The people voted on that question last November; they put Ben Harrison in the presi dential chair; the people endorsed the Republican platform and the American idea of protection; the peo ple of this Nation have lots of sense and generally exercise it; and if these gentlemen of the tariff reform checker clnb and Mr. Hugh McCullough, who is now in his second childhood, will wait till 1892, they will have so em phatic a contradictory answer to these pamphlets that they will never send any more to Astoria or anywhere else. Coffee and cake, Ten cents, at the Central Restaurant CLIPPED AND CONDENSED. News Items From all Over the Northwest. Washington's legislature costs $1,000 a day. The total taxable propertv of Cor vallis is S573.65L Multnomah county will pav taxes on 29,684,670 this year. The union labor party will nominate a state ticket next June. The1 150,000 paper mill at Oregon City is being pushed to completion. The estimate of the expenditure for the state of Washington for the first year of statehood is 590,401. An asbestos fire-proof drop curtain for the Tacoma theater has been re ceived. It weighs 300 pounds. There are now three organized granges in Josephine county. The grange has a membership in Oregon of 5,000. The Salem Gaslight company has received thirty carloads of coal" from Sydney. Australia, It cost 23 per ton at Sydney. Tin mines have been discovered in the Cascade mountains, and an analy sis shows eight per cent, of tin. The vein is a large one. The Willamette valley is fifty miles wide and 150 miles long, and contains 6,500 square miles. Nearly every acre is fine farming land. Over 20,000 acres of government land in the neighborhood of Chehalis have been taken under the various acts of congress during the past year. The Ban don Recorder says that the law against' placing constructions across rivers in Oregon so as to pre vent the movement of salmon is most flrgrantly set at naught at the month of Kogue river. A sand-pump near Boise City, Ida ho, recently brought up a flint idol from a depth of 320 feet. It is claimed to be the oldest mark of human life on record, by Professor Wright of Ob erlin college, Ohio. The weavers in the Oregon City woollen mills went on a strike last Thursday on account of a reduction in wages of weaving two lines of blankets. The old rates were restored and the men went to work. Near Silverton, Oregon, is a quarry of what is called "fire-place stone." It is soft when mined, and can be sawed or chopped in any desired shape, and when subjected to intense heat does not seem to be affected. Washington's wheat crop this year is estimated at 10,000,000 bushels, from 600,000 acres of land, and is worth 8,500,000. Last year there were harvested from 487,790 acres, 9.000,000 bushels, worth 7,024,680. Ex-Judge Thomas H. Smith is seri ously ill at Alameda. Smith was the first sheriff in Oregon and adjacent territory, his bailiwick then compris ing a great extent of countrv. Of late years he has been a practicing lawyer in Alameda. Seventeen German Russian families arrived in Albina last Wednesday from Dakota. They had a section of a train to themselves and brought their household furniture, farm im plements, chickens, ducks, pigs, cows, etc. in freight cars. The following oracular gem is taken from a recent number of the Orting Oracle: It may probably never have occurred to many of our readers that whatever we do not do at once, or at some time in the near future, unless some one else does it will in all likeli hood remain undone. Good coal in paying quantities has been discovered less than three miles southwest of Eugene. At a depth of twelve feet in the hillside one of the veins i3 five feet thick and from .15 to 20 feet wide. The expense of mining would be very small. "Keep your eye on Eugene," says tho Regis ter. There were caught in the Coquille river, during the last fishing season, says the Bandou Recorder, 8,500 cases of" salmon. The price paid for fish was 30 to 50 cents each. The total amount paid out for raw fish was 15, 000. In addition to the cash paid for raw fish, the other expenses of the cannery were 6,000. G. W. Hunt met the citizens of Waitsburg last week and secured a subscription of 12,000 for his road. In answer to a question he said that if in consideration of the 12,000 sub scribed there he failed to carry pro duce to the Sound as cheaply as the O. R. & N. carries it to Portland he would pay back to any man so treated the amount subscribed by him, with interest. The Democrat says there are busi ness men in Baker City to-dav who lay awake nights fretting about a 5 advertising bill the end of the month, while there are others who would rather have a tooth pulled than pay out one dollar for advertising. The latter are the first men in the com munity to find fault with the news papers because they are not as large in size as the San Jbrancisco Ex aminer; and, too, they never sub scribe for the paper, but steal it morn ing after morning from the doors of those who do subscribe. The Idaho territorial insane asylum at Blackfoot was destroyed by fire last Sunday morning. The fire caught in the basement from a defective flue early in the morning before all the patients were up, and the greatest difficulty was experienced in arousing them. There were sixty-four patients in the institution, and out of this num ber two men and two women are known to have perished in the flames. Four others are missing, and are sup posed to be burned. The building was entirely gutted and the walls are all that remain. The loss is estimated at 30,000. The Grant's Pass Courier wonders how many of the busy, hopeful people of La Grande, when they sit down to their next New Year's dinner to talk railroad and plan excursions on the railroads, will recall the fact that the first New Year's dinner ever eaten by Americans in eastern Oregon was par taken of by Mr. Hunt and party in 1812. Mr. Hunt was one of the partners of the then rich John Jacob Astor. His din ner was eaten not far from where bustling La Grande now stands, and consisted of the flesh of Indian dogs" and part of the carcass of a very poor horse. Before getting the dog and horse, Mr. Hunt and party liad made several meals on an old pair of moo casins. If people who live in the country would think a moment before joining any so-called "purchasers' protective unions," it might occur to them that they could buy directly from the deal ers themselves, thereby saving "pro tective" agents' commission, and lss complaints would be heard from farm ers who paid from 3 to 5 entrance fee, and who never derived three cents worth of good from the investment. Suppose the agents who conduct those "unions" should conclude to re tire from active business what then? Have the farmers who blindly pay for the privilege of such "unions"" any guarantee that their money will be protected by the agents or adventurers who take it? H. Windon, a banker from Huron, Dak., is in the valley, and tells the Oregonian that he is at the head of a small party of settlers, and if the country proves anything like what it is represented to be, said he, "I will have 200 families out here in tho spring to locate. I have been over the Northern Pacific on a prospecting tour, and have seen a good deal of Or egon, and we think Oregon is the place for us. Oh we are sick of Da kota, very sick, sir." "How is that?" "Short crops; dry weather yon see. Our county, Miner, did not raise enough this year to support one-half of her population. "We have had a severe drought for three years. We think we have changed for the better, and Oregon will have to be pretty tough if we prove to be mistaken." A SERIOUS BLUNDER A I&dy Ne&rlj Prostrated by a Pat ent SEedlcIae. A lady well-known In the Weitern Addition has been a great sufferer for Tears wita In digestion and dyspepsia. Struck with tho testimony- raising Joy's Vegetable; Sana parin, ane sent for a bottle. -The druggist, not haTlnj It, talked them Into talcing another Eaisapsxhla, Asthoheadlngsazsaparlllasusa mineral blood, purifiers, the effect of the emptying of Iodide of potwhinto a stomach already' distressingly delicate was disastrous, almost prortraticher before themlstake was rectified. She then called upon Mrs. Fowler, of 227 Sills street, whoso name was among' those cured by Joy's Vegetablo Barsaparllla. Mrs. Fowler said It was true that It had cured her. Again reassured, tho vegetable com pound was sent for and gotten. The gentle action of Its vegetable stimulants upon the liver, kidneys and digestive organs, and Its warm stomach tonics, were the very things needed, and she began improving and was her old self within a fortnight. This sounds like fiction, but tho names can be given if necessary. San Francitco Examiner. Knishts ot Pythias Founder Dyinj Lima, Ohio, Nov. 21 Colonel Bath bone, of "Washington, founder of the order of the Knights of Pythias in America, is lying very ill here, with small hope of recovering. Catarrh Es a constitutional and not a local diseasa. and therefore It cannot bo cured by local ap plications. It requires a constitutional rem edy like Hood's Sarsaparllla, which, working through the blood, eradicates the lmpurlrj which causes and promotes the disease, and Catarrh effects a permanent cure. Tliousauds oi people testify to the success of Hood's Sarsa parllla as a remedy for catarrh when othei preparations had failed. Hood's Sarsaparilu also builds up the whole system, and make! fou feel renewed in health ami strength. Catarrh "I used Hood's Sarsaparilla for catarrh and received great relief and benefit from it The catarrh was very disagreeable, especlallj In the winter, causing constant discharge f ron my nose, ringing noises in my ears, and pain: In the back of my head. The effect to cleai Catarrh my head In the morning by hawking and spit ting was painful.
