The reduction of the running time of the train from Chicago to Portland and Ban Francisco over the North western and the Union Pacific roads has brought before the Northern Pa cific management the consideration of reducing toe time of its train to the coast at no distant date. "Mollie" ono of Rescue's famous brace of Jiangaroo hounds, is at pres ent engaged in giving maternal sus tenance to a pair of promising pups, and the manner in which canine in genuity reinforces the natural method made and provided, is worth a visit to No. 2's engine house to see.

This has no reference to any other form of losing money than the simple one of dropping it out of one's pocket A little notice in yesterday's Astokian, of the finding of a purse with a small sum of money in it, brought in eight people, each of whom had sustained a loss of that de scription. The purse is still unidenti fied st this office, and is evidently owned by someone who needs the money. In four weeks comes Christmas, and then you will be interested in select ing something nice for the loved ones at home, or for friends, present or ab Bianf. Tt is-none too soon to bear in store is putting on exhibition a stock of goods that need only .to be seen to be appreciated. There are novelties in Christmas presents, fine goods of every description and fancy articles that will be pleasing to every eye. xou are invited to a view of the dis Play. Quite a little excitement was caused yesterday by the large crowd pushing into Rucker s restaurant, and it was thought that something serious had happened, but it was afterwards found to be caused by the natural curiosity of the public who were in quiring about the Thanksgiving din ner. They were informed that some thing unusually hue was to be had in the shape of roast turkey, cranberry sauce, homemade mince pies, etc., etc", and all went away trell satisfied. Din ner from 1 to 8 p. m. Twenty-five years have passed since president Lincoln issued the first national proclamation setting apart the last Thursday in November, 1863, as a day of national thanksgiving for general blessings exactly in ac cordance with the time-honored New England idea which from that time to the present has carried its serene and elevating joys to an ever-widening circle until to-day its observance is universal throughout the length and breadth of our great land. Two other presidents had each proclaimed a gen eral Thankscivine dav for siecial oc currences, as, indeed, Lincoln himself had previously done, but they were notm the spirit of the old pilgrims who established the festival as a day of thanksgiving and praise to God, not for any special blessing, but for all his constant mercies and gifts. It was not therefore, until 1863 that from a purely New England institution Thanksgiving dav became a national festival of rejoicing universally cele brated from the forests of Maine to the surf-washed shores of this Pacific coast. PERSONAL MENTION. John Trullinger has been quite sick with a slight attack of fever. A. A. French, representing the American Net & Twine Co., returned from Ilwaco yesterday afternoon. Major John L Rodgers, First Ar tillery, inspector of artillery target practice of the division, has been or dered to Vancouver barracks and Fort Canby, and Astoria on public business. Alex. Sutton has returned from the perils of an inland trip, to township 5-8. While fording the Klaskanine the flood took him off his feet, and carried him down tho stream about two hundred yards. In The Justice Court. In the justice court vesterday the assault and battery case of Math ews against McDonough was settled and dissmissed. John Francis O'Con nor charged with resisting state offic ers in the discharge of their duties, waived examination, and was bound over to appear before the grand jury with bonds nxed at S1.0U0. Amos Robinson was charged with assault and battery on one Henry Albright; found guilty and fined S25 or twelve days in the county jaiL Larry Sul livan was arrested on two charges of larceny by bailee and will have a hear ing nday morning at 10 o clock. O Connor was held on two separate charges, and gave $500 on each charge, which he had to put up, aud which of course, he will forfeit, for he must go with his vessel: the next grand jury meets on the 2nd of February, 1890, and by that time tho Koorimja will be two-thirds of the way to Europe. At first 3igut .this seems a little hard, but he had ample warning; there was no snap judgement taken on him; sheriff bmith told him repeatedly to go slow, uud quit making hostile demon3tra-i("'ilpm;;t hons, but he thought he was bigger! than the whole state of Oregon, and now he knows better. There is uq law in this state to compel a man to remain after ho has succeeded in obtaining the amount of bail bonds required and if the individual sees fit to go with his vessel, that is his lookout. He should have thought of all that before he started to interfere with an Oregon sheriff in the discharge of. his duty. Real Estate Transfers Nov. 2" M. Young and wife to Aug.

Fisher Heir to Many Millions, Sometime ago The Astokiax had an item about the death of an old gentleman in northern Germany, the uncle of Geo. W. Fisher, the propri etor of the Vienna restaurant; and the leaving of an immense estate, worth many millions of dollars. At the time Mr. Fisher was -in communica tion with other members of the family, joint heirs, residing in Illinois and Texas. These relatives have gone to the old country, and numerous letters and cablegrams received by him from there confirm the original report. The old-gentleman, who was ftbachelor, died on the 16th of April, 1888, in the ninety-second year of his age, and leaving an enormous property representing, in our money, about twenty millions of dollars; and consisting in great part of mines in which the state is joint owner, and which are now being worked under government auspices, and an accounting made to the court. At the time the old gentleman died, it was supposed that he had made a will, but after a diligent search last ing nine months, the probate court announced that no will could be found. The court then made an or der that all the heirs should make personal appearance there, for a divi sion of the estate. Up to the time the American heirs began to arrive there had forty-nine registered there, as being of kin to the deceased, but investigation develops that few of them can make good their claim, and it now looks as though but four or five would be recognized by the Ger man courts as being legal heirs. One of these fortunate few is our fellow townsman, and there isn't a soul in the place that will not rejoice with him over his good fortune. To make it satisfactory all round, the Gcrmau court has issued an order that all the heirs shall appear, personally or by attorney, on or before February 1st, 1890, and though doing an excel lent business, Mr. Fisher has some no tion of taking a little run over to the old country, sometime this winter, just to see that a fair division is made of the property, and that none of the other heirs are kept out of their share. When ho returns (that is, if he should take a notion to go) he will have be tween four and five million dollars, and can afford to take it easy for a little while, anyhow. ECONOMY IX BREAD MAKING. Valuable B&Vln? Ponder Tests Made bjr the GoTernment Cfaemlitn. Dr. Edward G. Love, the analytical chemist for the government, has made some interesting experiments as to the comparative value of baking powders. Dr. Love's tests were made to deter mine what brands are the most econ omical to use, and as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests were directed solely to ascertain the avail able gas of each powder. Dr. Love's report gives the follewing: Strength: Name of the Cubic inches Gas Baking Powders per each ounce of powder. "Royal" (absolutely pure) 127.4 "Patapsco" (alum powder) 125M "RnmfordV (phosphate) fresh... 122 Ji "Romford's" (phosphate) old 32.7 "Hanford's None Suoh," fresh . . . .121.0 "Hanf ord's None Such," old 84.35 "Redhead's" 117.0 "Oharm" (alum powder) 110.9 "Amazon" (alum powder) 111.9 "Cleveland's" (contains lime)... 110.H "Sea Foam" 107.9 "Czar" 10G.8 "Dr. Price's" (contains lime) 102.G 'Snow Flabe" (Groff'a St. Paul).. 101.83 "Lewis's" Condensed 93.2 "Congress" yeast 97.5 "C.

Dr. H. A. Mott, the former govern ment chemist, after a careful and elab orate examination of the various Baking Powders of commerce, re ported to the Government in favor of the Royal brand. Prof. McMurlie, late chief chemist for the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, at Washington, says: "The chem ical tests to which I have submitted the Royal Baking Powder, prove it perfectly healthful, and free from every deleterious substance." The Salmon Pack on Gray's Harbor. The canneries here have closed down for the season, and nearly all the fishermen have left for Astoria and other points.

The Northern Pacific Coal company of Roslyn is now taking out 1,700 tons of coal "per day, and the demand for Coal is so great that it is thought they will put on a night crew and also a night train. It is something of an indication of growth in Oregon, says the States man, to know that 21 of the assess ment rolls filed with the secretary of state show an increase over the re turns of last year. The famous Anaconda mine at Butte, Mont, is on fire, and the tim bered shafts and tunnels will probably be destroyed. It is the richest copper mine in the world and the capital is estimated at $20,000,000. The Bellingham bay cities have of fered Bennett a free right of way along the water front if he will run his railroad there, in preference to constructing it through the streets of the towns further back- from the shore. The contract between the Union Pacific railroad and the government makes it obligatory on the part of the company to run its fast mail trains on time. The company forfeits $500 every time if it reaches Portland 30 minutes late, no matter what the case may be. According to the Ajpeal Silverton has a citizen over fifty years old who has resided in that city for the last eleven years and has not" been out of town farther than two miles in the Whole time. He does not know of several cities having as many as seven thousand inhabitants. The Gray's Harbor salmon pack for the season just past, says tho Aber deen Herald, is between 33.000 smrl 31,000 cases, falling a little short of last year s pacK. xne run ot large fish at the beninTiinir of thp. spasnn ira nv. ccllent and afterwards tho silveraides came in plentifully.

Savs the Chenev Sentinel. P.isa. enger trains of from twelve to sixteen heavy passenger coaches, are daily passing through, crowded with living freight. The question is what becomes of this army of travelers moving west? Like the huee ice pincers of AlnsT do they crowd each other on their way uown to ine sea, only to break on into husre icebercrs and float awav. nr mingle with the tide that is seeking nomes in tne great states or the north west. In making final proof before the U. S. land office, Judge Guichard, of Walla Walla, usually asks: "Have you a family?" Most of them answer in the affirmative, but the other day he got hold of a man, who had the biggest family on record. "Have you a family?" said the judge, as he pulled down his vest. "Yes, sir," said the man, somewhat confused. "What does it consist of?" continued Mr. Guich ard. "Well," said the man, looking up toward the ceiling, po as to icfresh his mind and give a true account, "a wife and twelve children, two married, a hired man, a gang plow, a seeder, a Bain wagon and a span of mules." "That's enough," said the judge with a smile, and the settler got his final papers without any further trouble. 3IAKINK NEWS AND NOTES.

" They must have spent, on an average, $100 in Paris, or about $12, 000,000. The cost of the voyage to and from Europe and of their travel ing and purchases while there must have been at least $500 apiece, making $60,000,000, the total thus being about $72,00Q,000. If we add Mr. C. P. Hunt ington's contribution to Prince Hatz feldt and those of other exceptional millionaires not to be classed among the mass, it is safe to say that at least $100,000,000 of American money were spent in Europe last summer.
