About fifty Italian laborers arrived on the R. R. Thompson yesterday to go to work on the line of the Astoria and South Coast Railroad.

It is by law made the duty of the voters of this state lo procure ballot paper from their respective county clerks for each election, and no ballot paper left over alter any election shall be used as ballots at any subsequent election. No ticket must be used or circulated on the day of election uu less it is written or printed on paper procured from the county clerk for the purpose of being used at the said pending election. All tickets used at the coming muicipitl election shall be six inches long and four inches wide. No ticket not conforming to all the re quirements of this section shall be re ceived or counted by the judges. A surveying party has recently made a survey of upper Astoria, at the in stance of several property holders in that viciuity. If this survey is ac cepted, and the streets changed ac cordingly, many of the houses and business establishments of upper town will have to be moved, thereby entailing a great expense upon many owners. A meeting of citizens was held at the schoolhouse last evening to protest A committee, consisting of Fred Wright, P. C. Eecd and W. T. Chutter, were appointed to seek legal counsel. As the results of the last dozen surveys have all disagreed, it will probably be no easy task to settle the matter. PERSONAL MENTION. Hon. A. Dresser, of Oregon City, law partner of Hon. T. A.

A Necessary Adjunct to Assured Railroad Prosperity. The Astobian is sending hundreds of papers in every direction calling at tention to Astoria's railroad prospects and inducing the drift here of capital to invest In this regard a Sunday suggestion occurs. Let the directors of the Astoria and South Coast road arrange some day to have an accident on the road. It needn't be a very bad affair; just a plain ordinary accident; ditch the locomotive, or break a car, or have a little 2) collision, or some thing that way, so that it can be tele graphed to a listening werld: "Acci dent on The Astoria and South Coast Railroad; Full Particulars of The Oc currence.' Nothing advertises a railroad like an accident. You take a little rail road or a big one that a good many people never heard any thing at all about, and straightway the whole 70, 000,000 now on earth in this Nation will know of its existence. There's nothing like it Brass bauds are goed: lithographs are not to be despised: maps of plats, duly lotted and blocked are great: boom editions are immense, pamphlets and circulars are well nigh indispensable: real estate agents are as necessary as nails in a heuse: you can t get along without men that run newspapers and the man who says"shh-h-"whena hen is on : but for the boss advertisement, the ne plus ultra, the very thing that will catch and rivet and hold the at tention of the North American race, with ideas in their heads and big idle dollars lo invest, in their pockets, a well-managed" railroad accident is above and beyond all compare. Don t let it escape vour memery: a -railroad doesn't stand for ace high in the great game of life, till it has had an accident. What made the Erie road so rich'; what put prosperity into the Pennsyl vania railroad? What raised all the great railroads of the country to the present pinnacle of prosperity? "Care ful management, courteous treatment. shrewd arrangement," you may ay. Not much. These roads would still have been unheard of, but for the nu merous accidents occurring thereon. Here is the whole business boiled down. Nothing succeeds to-day withont ad vertising: the bigger the advertise ment; that is, the more people read it, the better it is; more people will hear about the Astoria and South Coast railroad by having an accident happen on it than in any other way of putting it before the eye of tlie public. Therefore it is advisable, good busi ness, yea, even necessary, that there shall be an accident on the road. Bring on yonr accident, and let it be so arranged that all the harrowing de tails be written up m all the rich and varied resources of the American language and duly chronicled in the daily press, the brief and fleeting but potent abstract of the time, and the mirror of the day.

Will Wrltlngjleconie A Lost Art I Will the coming man write": Not at all. There will be no more need of his learning to write than of his learn ing to spin. Writing will have be come one of the lost arts, and a wholly unnecessary art, by the time the com ing man appears. His writing will be done by the phonograph, which will be placed on his desk as pens and ink are now; and whenever he has a story, a poem, an essay or a private letter to indite he will simply talk into the phonograph and send on the plate which has recorded his words. The teaching of penmanship will be un known in the school of the future, and writing in the present fashion wiil be regarded as much among barbaric methods as we now hold the rude hieroglyphics of the ancients lobe.

An important question, affecting the right of marned women m the state of Oregon to take lands under the United States timber act of June 3. 1878, is now being considered, and will soom be decided bv the secretary of the interior. The late commis sioner of the general land office, Mr, Stockslager, decided that married women in Oregon could not take up land under that act, basing his de cision wholly on the ground of the provisions of the Oregon statutes in relation to tho rights ojE married wo men in reference to holding and trans ferring real estate. An appeal from this ruling was taken to the secretary, the appellant being Delilah Stuckle. The case in the ordinary course would not have been reached for over a year, but as many married women in Ore gon havo made application to pur chase under this act, United States senator Mitchell moved that secre tary Noble advance the Stuckle case, which has been done. Mr. Mitchell regards the decision of Stockslager as wholly untenable. '1 heir Business Kooming. Piobably no one thinghas caused such a general revival of trade at J. V.

CuilirenCryferPitcWsCastoria An American's Novel and Daring Plan. An Ocean Line of LiKlithonses Proposed. Captain John P. Walker, U. S. A., (retired), has laid before the interna tional marine conference at Washing ton a plan of transoceanic lighthouses and refuge stations, to which, as a civil engineer, he has devoted much study. Captain "Walker says: My idea is to secure land on the south beach of Staten island and start a hotel to be called the Neptune hotel No. 1; this for a base of operations, and from that point establish a line of deep sea lighthouses and hotels, or houses of refuge, across the ocean, connected by telegraphic cables and supplied with boats, tugs, launches, steamers and sailing craft, constitut ing, wifn their crews, a deep sea mes senger telegraph and life-saving ser vice, which would constantly patrol the ocean and afford communication with all passing vessels and assistance in case of need; which would pick up boats from shipwrecked or abandoned vessels and give all vessels the latest information, daily or hourly, from sea and shore, so that the navigator, sailor and traveler at sea could havo his daih papers, with all their multifarious in formation and news, almost as per fect and complete as if on shore. Tho general idea of the stations was that they would start from the simple basis of the light bea con, or bell "buoy, and gradually pass onward to the light-ship, the floating lighthouse, to tho grand float ing ocean hotel, or house of refuge, and deep sea lighthouse and life-saving station to the mid or inter-ocean graud harlior of refuge, with its wharves, storehouses and docks, where ships, tempest tossed and broken, could take refuge from the storm and be repaired and refitted, and where travelers could stop, if it pleased them, and take the benefit of sea air for any definite period. Of course in my processes of thought and research difficulties and obstruc tions were discovered. One difficulty is the cost. There are two ways of meeting that--one by the organization of a grand stock company, as I pro posed last summer, in which all na tions might share, and whose basis would be pecuniary gain. The other by international legislation and appro priation, for tbe benefit of humanity and the genernl betterment of the world. The other great factor in the problem is, of course, the physical or material difficulties viz., tho waves of ocean, in calm and in storm; the winds of heaven, which ''blow where they list," and of floating ice and icebergs, wrecks, wreckage and derelicts or abandoned vessels; of collisions in calm, clear weather or in rain or fog and in the dark of night or storm. As to icebergs, the patrol vessels will look for them and destroy them by quick acting, destructive agencies ; dynamite, powder, eta or by tow ing or pushing them into warm lati tudes, where they will melt and dis appear. The winds and the waves are to be met as the' are now, by ves sels strong enough to withstand their ordinary power. When a chain of lighthouses shall be established across the ocean, or in any direction in which many ships and vessels sail, ships and vessels go ing m opposite directions will keep on opposite sides of said line or lines, and thus in a very great measure pre vent collisions at sear The deep sea lighthouses that will probably be found best aside from large ships or floating hotels will be one in which the main body of the structure will be submerged below the action of the waves, and only a comparatively slender shaft (with the lighthouse proper at its summit, out of reach of the waves) will be exposed to their (the waves) action, thus giv ing greatest stability. The sub merged section to contain rooms for living purposes, and to be lighted probably by electricity, and to be sup plied with engines for pumps, both air and water, and to furnish the motive power for elevators and lifts for boats and for the fog horn or siren and bells, etc. Of course the shaft would be provided with a stairway within and an elevator, perhaps, according to the size of the house, it being one of the possibilities of such a system, that the different stations might vary in size according to location and require ments. The superstructure of the larger ones to ba of different size, not only for lighting purposes and needs, but for the housing of steam launches and life boats, fog horns or sirens, bells, cannon, rocket towers, etc. The anchoring of vessels and sta tions, or houses and hotels, in the deep sea can, of course, be accom plished by the usual methods. Tho plans of light vessels, of deep sea lighthouses and harbors of refuge and of patrol lioats must, of course, be the field of study, design and experiment for the skilled navigators and en gineers, architects and builders of all nations of the jiresent and advancing time. There is more experience, time, and brain work represented in the prepara tion of Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other medicine. It is this which makes Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar in its cura tive power, and in the remarkable cures it effects. Give it a trial. V. 11. F. 1. IT. Kolice. The regular monthly meeting of the C. It.
