C3J ?h? aUjj gtflmtu ASTORIA, OKEGOU : TUESDAY ILnOVEMBKK 'JO, 1SS3. Stling bloke; no wirings. Don't believe all vou hear. Regular council nieetiujr, lo-iiifjut. The Clatsop miil starts np again at noon to-day, Turkeys are beginning to appear and disappear. Albany parlies are inviting in As toria real estate. Democratic primaries will be held next Saturday evening, and the nomi nating convention next Monday Lots 3 and 4-, blk 116, Shively's As toria, were yesterday sold to D. B. Monteith, of Albany, for 35,500; 'a good buy. All interested ia a class for ad vanced singers, are requested to meet at the M. E. cuarch on Tuesday even ing at 8 o'clock. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Olaf Seim died at Fort Stevens yes terday afternoon. The funeral takes place to-day at Clatsop. Every day from one to three men are in the county clerk's office; prov ing up on their premption claims. The county is rapidly filling up. The 0. 11. rX. Co. will after the end of the present month discontinue the use of Flavel's wharf and -the ticket office thereon. After that time all liii.sine.ss will be conducted from the other wharf. Capt. Whitcomb, of the government steamer Cascades;, says that the reason he discontinued the use of that big whistle was that it shook things up so badly on the vessel that it actually shook his fale teeih out. The ladies of the liaptist church will tender a reception to Rev. F. O. "Weeks, the pastor of the church, at the residence of Dr. O. 13. Estes, to which a general invitation is ex tended, on Thanksgiving day. Sunday afternoon a Mrs. Lewis was brought over from Deep river and taken to Dr. Fulton's office to have her right arm set. The fracture was caused by a fall. The unfortunate lady returned to her home yesterday. Shortly before his death Emil Weber, who was killed by Sandy Olds in Portland, bought 1,600 acres of timber laud near Port Townsend, and last Saturday his administrator was offered for the tract the handsome sum of $21 ,000. Last Sunday's storm demoralized the wires in this section. They worked feebly for awhile, yesterday; in the afternoon, went down between here and Westport, and last night went to pieces between there and Ka lama. It is believed the line will be all right again by noon to-day. The tower of the new lighthouse on Cape Mears is completed, and Mr. MoClure, lampist of tins district, has gone down there to put up the light, which will be of the first order. The lamphouses, etc., weigh 14,000 pounds and cost 10,000. The lamp will prob ably be lighted about the middle of December. Henry ward Ueecner said some very good things. But he was, like most of us, a little off now and then. He onee said: "To-morrow you have no business with." ies we have. Beecher was no newspaper man. "We are, thinking now what to put in to morrow's Astorian, and have lots of business with it. Since eastern people began coming here in such numbers, thunder and lightning are becoming more frequent injOregon. It is getting to be a com mon occurrence now to see the flash of the lightning and hear the roll of the thunder in these parts. Next in" order will be the advent of the lightning-rod agent John Leary of Seattle has ordered a 60,000 boat for the trade between Tacoms,end Seattle. She is to be a world beater, the fastest stern wheeler iif the world 175 feet long, 30 feet beam and 8 feet hold, and equipped with a 1,200 horse power engine. This is the outcome of the recent agi tation in Seattle regarding the Sound trade; A kingfisher yesterday in the rear of the building opposite The Astorian office was the unconscious source of amusement" to a good many who were watching him. He had caught sight of himself, or rather a reflection of himself, in a pane of glass, and was busily engaged in fighting it, till the owner of the window, fearful for its Bafety, drove him away. Yesterday morning while Mr. C. "W. Holt was walking down to hiB mill, and when near it, the wind blew an umbrella out of his hand; he made a jump to catch" it and slipped, falling on his left arm, breaking it right square across. About a year ago Mr. Holt had the misfortune to have his finger cut off by a saw, necessitating the amputation of the hand, and now Mr. H. is doubly unfortunate in the breaking of bis arm. The case of Nelson Bennett against the Oregon Pacific Railroad company, which has been pending for two years past, was settled last week without going in to the courts. In this case the estimates of the engineers were attacked, and several hundred thou sand dollars were claimed as damages. The exact amount paid Mr. Bennett is not learned, but rather than go into eouxt, he accepted the amount of the company's engineers. " t Thfi latest in the way of curiosities, is a white owl, shot at upper Astoria by W. F. McGregor, a few days ago. a rtiit owl is anovelty.here, though the species is plenty enough farther north, where it gets cold enough to favn fho nose" off a brass monkey. People who claim to know about these tilings say iuu me&o wuw . down here so far south are a sure sign of a cold, hard winter. McGregor is going-0 have that owl stuffed, for a mantel ornament Take a spool of white cotton thread. Prop it into your inside coat pocket and; threading a needle with it, pass ifciip -thrdngh the shoulder of your t.ava the end an inch or so take off the needle. Four men out of five will try to pick that whole thread oa your shoulder, and will pull on the spool until it actually does seem as though your clothes are all bastings and that thoy were unraveling not only your clothes, but yonrself. The purchasers of the opera house can, by expending about a thousand dollars, add greatly to the comfort and convenience of that place of am usement. By partitioning off that part of the lower part from the seats to the door, and putting a pair of doors at the entrance to the auditorium,- and deadening the present source of noise on the stairs and in the gallery, the place could be made more attractive. That curtain needs everhauling: the advertisements should be taken away; it looks and reads very ancient in Its present state. Fish commissioners Thompson and Reed tell the Oregonian that tbe pros pects for a good crop of salmon, they say, are most encouraging. At the Clackamas hatchery between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 eggs are hatching while at the new hatchery Tat "Warrensdale the number is about 1,000,000. Of the eggs taken to this hatchery from Clack amas not over one per cent were lost in transportation. As alterations and improvements have been made in the apparatus, the per cent, of the fish as compared with the total number, of eggs, will be higher this year than last. C. A. Sehlbrede has received a let ter from the secretary of the interior stating that the land cases appealed by him had been referred to the at torney general. The letter also stated that there were 1,200 cases ahead of them, and that a decision could not be reached before ten months. The cases referred to are those of married women who have filed .on timber land, and now appeal from the de cision of the commissioner holding that they have no right to do so in Oregon. Mr. Sehlbrede is of the opinion that he will ultimately win a decision favorable to his clients. The social editors of several ex changes announce that the latest thing in entertainments i3 a cap social." The principal, entertainment is the haphazard way of ascertaining one's partner for the evening which is as follews: A large assortment of paper caps is provided, containing two caps of each different design, and the ladies secure beforehand one of each pair, leaving the gentlemen to go it blindly in their selection for a partner. Of course the caps were concealed, so that it is absolutely impossible for one to learn the identity of the vision of fomale lovliness that chance chooses for a companion for the evening. Who can read of the terrific snow storms throughout the east, while en joying the mild, delightful climate of Oregon, without experiencing a feel ing of profound gratitude to that in visible power that shapes our ends for the glorious privilege of living iu a country so favored of the gods! While in the east trains are blockaded with tremendous falla of snow, Ore gon receives a few refreshing showers that cause the hills to become green with the tender blades of growing grass, and on every side are men and teams at work preparing for next year's crop. While the poor easterners have resigned themselves to merciless hands of sombre winter, Oregonians are frisking in the glad sunshine of mild autumn weather. llie cultivation oi prunes is a pro fitable branch of horticulture. In Wejtern Oregon the trees are thriftv and heavy bearers. The Silver prune, Petite prune d Agin, (French prune), and the Italiau prune are the three best varieties for this seotion. It is claimed that thi3 branch of fruit grow ing will be -more profitable than anyj other kind m the luture. i if ry iKiunds of dried prunes is a ver low animate' for a full beanug prune tree. As a rule trees are planted twenty feet apart, or 103 to the acre. That would give 5,400 pounds of dried prunes to the acre, which are worth to-day six cents per pound. Reduce the price to the low figure of four cents per pound, which gives the producer a .gross profit of two hundred and sixteen, dol lars per acre, and the work i3 light compared to general farming, In 1887 there were imported in the United States 04,995,545 Bounds of dried prunes. When skill and care are brought to bear in picking, drying and packing, our primes will be the favorites over all foreign competitors. Scene Iu & Portland School.

The Pioneer yesterday stated that half of Tongue Point .had been sold, to a railroad magnate from the east, and gave Mayor C. H. Page as its au thority. The following from that gentleman is concise and explicit, and leaves nothing mort necessary to say. A POSITIVE DEKIAIi. Astoria, Or. Nov. 25, '89. Editor Astebiak: The statement made in this morn ing's Pioneer, regarding the alleged sale of a portion of Tongue Point, is an unmitigated falsehood. I never gave the Pio neer such statement, or author ized in any way such a statement as coming from me. Yours etc. C. H. Page. MARINE NEWS AND NOTES. Miss Josey Bryce returned yester day from Portland. The schooner Eureka went over to Knappton yesterday to load lumber. The steamer Lakme came down from Portland yesterday and started for Portland.

The captain reports hav ing encountered a heavy snow storm while off Cape Flattery Thursday night. He states that snow fell very rapidly, and in a few hours the snow on the deck of the vessel was over two feet deep. Some Remarks From Beecher. The following copy of a letter found hy one of the editors of Time in an old scrap book will no doubt le read with interest by admirers of that great man: Peekskill, .Fuly 11, 1878. General II. A. Barnum; grand marshal, etc.: You request me to send you my pray er made on Decoration JDay evening. If you will send me the notes of the oriole that whistled from the top of my trees last June, or the iridescent globes that came in by millions on the last waves that rolled iu on the beach yesterday, or a segment of the rainbow of last week, or the perfume of the first violet that blossomed last May, I -will also send you the prayer that rose to my lips with the occasion and left me forever. I hope it went heavenward aud was registered; in which case the only record of it will be found in Heaven. Very truly yours, Henry Ward Beecheh. Wanti To Buy The "(Jen. Mile." Captain Herbert F. Beecher, mana ger of the Island Transportation Com pany, hag gone to Portland to close a bargain for the steamer Qeneral Miles. The Miles is a passenger and freight boat, 100 feet long, 22 feet wide and 10 feet deep, and of 137 tons burden. She was built in 1882 at Astoria, Or., and named after General Nelson A. Miles. She has been en gaged in the trade since on the lower Columbia, between Astoria and Fort Canby. Captain Beecher will bring her around at once, and she will take the place of the J.B.Libby, which was recently destroyed by fire in the straits of Juan deFuca. Seattle Post Intelligence, 23. A Valuable Cargo of Canned Salmon. San Feascisco, JJov. 23. A large and valuable cargo of canned salmon was cleared for Europe yesterday per British ship Anauras.

Returned From Astoria. Capt. E. J. Launiug returned last evening from Astoria, where he went with civil engineer W. B. Barr for the purpose of surveying the route of the Albany and Astoria railroad from Tillamook to Astoria. The people down there are most favorably dis posed toward the Albany "and Astoria road, and the prospects are very en couraging for a speedy rail connection between this city and Astoria. 47- bany Herald, 24.
