The Central Alaska Canning com pany lost $75,600 in canning opera tions in Alaska, last season. Captain J. G. Hustler, gives friendly notice that tascs in school district No. One, will be delinquent on the 30th inst., and dont you forget it.

On account of the opera house being engaged next Thursday night, the Columbia skating club will hold their next skating party Tuesday, Christmas eve. Bescue club had an unusualy good programme last evening, the new piano giving great gratification with its full, clear tones. The club has a present membership of over 1,800. Three words of The Astoman's re port were received at the telegraph office last evenmtr, and then the line, which had worked feebly all day, went down. Sorry, but can't help it. The Northern Pacific Railroad com pany are having the grade stakes set, with the intention of removing their ferryboat incline from Hunter's Point to Foster's, two miles furthei down the river. If you are going to advertise, nhy not advertise in the paper that every one sees. TriE Astorlw has the largest circulation, and is the people's recognized medium for those who want to sell and want to buy. The Columbia Skating Club, have issued invitations to a grand masked carnival at Ross' opera house, New Year's Eve. The alF.iir is m the hands of committees who will spare no pains to make it in every way an assured success The McMinnville board of trade has received a communication from McMinnville, asking that a committee from Salem be sent there to a mass meeting of the Salem, Astoria & East ern railroad. McMinnville is anxious to co operate in building the road. The Pioneer had its usual mass of lies. It neer was reliable, but of late no one believes a word it sa. It never has lass than two lies in it, and jesterday morning it had four, one nearly a column in length. It's an old dodge to lie one day and titke it back the next An thing to fill up. There is opposition in the lake cities to the proposed transfer of the reve nue marine to the navy department. It is feared that in such a case the revenue cutters doing duty on the lakes would have tobe regarded as reg ular naval vessels, and their number, therefore, reduced to one, by the terms of our agreement with Great Britain. A young Englishman named M. E. Parker who has recently been work ing at the Clatsop mill, but at present is not employed, was in receipt of a letter a day or two ago informing him of the fact that he had been left the snug little fortune of 10,000 through the death of an uncle in England. The young man will leave soon for home to take possession of the wel come funds. The Scandinavian Benevolent So ciety will have a pleasant social dance next Thursday evening. Good music has been engaged. The floor com mittee is composed of Adolf Johnson, C. S. Gunderson, Chris, Evenson, Martin Olson, and Frank Lindstrom. The reception committee is C. S.

"Maritime Melodies" is the taking title of a neatly printed brochure that comes to hand with the compliments of the Commercial Publishing Co., wishing us a Merry Christmas. The company that daily issues the Com mercial News, one of San Francisco's institutions, show that though they daily deal in dry statitics, yet have music in their souls, for no one devoid of poetry and the gentler attributes of life could have so ablv compiled and so nicely published the happy little sea rhymes before us.

Danielson, Secretary. SHORT SUNDAY SCREEDS, On Topics That Are Mostly Familiar. President Harrison ha3 given the Oregon politicians something for their Christmas stockings. Some of them don't like the gifts proffered, and pout because the particular prize that hung on the presidential Christmas tree was not awarded them. John Minto, for instance. If any man in Oregon was sure of anything, he was sure that he was going to be the next United States marshal for Oregon, and Hon. L. T. Barin gets it. A surprise all around. There was so little to give out down here, that there was hardly enough to go round. We are all chil dren, when it comes to gifts, and if we can't have v, hat we like, end in liking what we have. It is a constant wonder to the un dersigned, what in the world a man in sound mind, and possessed of the use of his faculties, wants of an office, federal, state or local. It is nothing but a nuisance and a torment from the time ho gets it till he lets go, or is made to let go, and the same ability bestowed upon securing and holding it would insure better pecunary re turns, if applied to business pursuits. It must be the glory attached to it or the notoriety. It certainly can't bo the money, for with rare exceptions, there is no money in holding office in Oregon. The only position that is worth anything in this county, is the one that C. J.'Trencbard has held for the past 6J years. That is worth about 810,000 a jear. Tho sheriffs office isn't worth a man's while bother ing with, and as for the other posi tions, they are only an aggravation of Life's miseries. The only federal office that the Astoria public is really interested in is the postmaster's position. The post master is a man that wo all have inti mate dealings with every day. Not one out of a thousand has anything to do with the collector. He sits in dig nified seclusion in tho upper story, and the only one3 he sees are shipping men, or newspaper men after an item, or a man who has a cousin or an uncle or something that he thinks might get a billet somewhere. But with the postmaster it is dif ferent He can help or hinder every man and woman in town. "With him rests the important question whether we shall get our letters, or whether wo shall have to wait a week for them after they arrive. On him devolves the responsibility of seeing that the office has some benefit in it for the public, or whether it shall be a public nuisance. The happiest mortal seen yesterday was a boy. He only had one sus pender to keep his courage and his trousers up. Before him stalked, gloomily, a man worth a hundred thousand dollars. That is, ho could spend that much money and not have any one call him to an account about it Behind him was a lady whose husband gives her all the money she wants and who has no incumbrances. But the man and the lady looked to be in the dumps. The boy was merry. He had one of these things the boys call "cry-babies." You blow it and it swells up and shrieks and emits dole fnl wails as the air escapes. His en tire outfit wasn't worth S2.50, but he was liappy. The others weren't. Probably he was happy because he was a boy. After awhile he'll get the idea in his head, like tho rest of us, that money brings happiness, and ho 11 start in trying to get some, and the harder he trie?, the less happiness he'll have. The real estate business appeurs to bo the leading industry in Astoria at present It's a dull day when two or three additions are not "platted," and put on the market A good many are loaded up. A good many more are getting ready. It is all a good buy; a man can't miss it by get ting in anywhere between here and Saddle Mountain, but there are other things that are as necessary as real estate. "What these things are, will suggest themselves. To go into de tails would bo unnecessary to those who could understand, and useless to those who could not Right in the direct line of those necessary things, is that new hotel project The idea as recently ad vanced in these columns, is being talked up, and is assuming tangible shape. It will take 100,000, That is the first thing necessary. That can be raised right hero among 200 public spirited citizens, who can each contribute 500. There was about 40,000 subscribed yesterday. The remainder can and should be readily raised. The amount thus subscribed is not a gift; it is an investment, and a good one. There is no reason why such a hotel wouldn't have the same effect in Astoria as it has had elsewhere. W Hen THE ASTOKIAJJ Was QOing all iii uuluu iu xiuvu me rauruau Buuscrip- tion of Sl5,000 made up, it, two or three times, used the argument that tu0 amount any man subscribed was not "giving" it. Some folks seemed to have tne idea J putting their I names down for a hundred or a thou-' ' sand dollars, that they were "giving' it. Tho idea was a mistaken one. A couldn't see that were those who were in hopes of reaping the benefit without making any con tribution. The argument that it was an investment, and not a gift, continued to be quoted because it couldn't be improved. Time has amply dem onstrated the absolute truth of the argumeut, Kesults are the only things in the "world that amount to anything: the result shows that The AsioniAN was right. A man came to the office yesterday, whose remarks show just what the results were, and are: Said he: "I didn't go much on whatyouwere saying for a while, but after 9 little, I thought there might be something in it, and I took S500, just for luck. Well, sir, since July, I've made 83,000, that I wouldn't have made if the rail road .hadn't started to be built So far Im $2,500 ahead." That's about the size of it He 11 be more ahead before long. And so will everybody else. The same argument applies to sub scribing to this hqtel fund, of $100, 000. The one you will be 'giving" it to will be yourself. 'Tisn't often that any one gets away with a real estate man, but the thing was done recently, in this city. One of the best of 'em was' sitting in his nffirv nni ofJvnrririYn n nVrnrf. Kma nrrn -making out'deeds, and figuring bow soon be could build that new house with the Queen Anne front, and the Mary Anne back, when a man came m and wrote on a little slate that ho carried, that he was deaf and dumb, and that he wanted to buy some real estate. To talk real estate to a dumb man is a tough job, but the agent tackled him, and after the slow inter change of speech through the unsatis factory medium of a slate and pencil, the agent finally sold him two desir able lots in Blank addition. Then the dumb man said that he wanted to see the lots. "All right," said tho agent, and over he went to Sherman & "Ward's, after a team. A dreary ride in tho fast gathering twilight brough them to the spot The man expressed his approval, and the pair started back, losing their way before they got home, After be ing once more in the office, the dumb man said he was a book agent, sold the real estate agent a S3 book, said he'd be in in the morning and pay for tho lots, and went to Portland, that night The other day The Astorian- had an innocent little paragraph, saying that if the days were 36 hours long in stead of 24, that a good many of us could do more than is at present done, implying that tho present day is too short for busy people, though we all have all the time that is going. A sarcastic reader writes the editor a reply or criticism: He, or maj be it's ehe says: " Anyone that has to work as long as you say you and others work isn't smart A smart man could make a living without being obliged to work 16 or IS hours a day. A man that can make a living by working four or five hours a day, as many do, is, to my mind, a good deal smarter than ono who has to spend two or three times that amount of time at his business." Whoever wrote the foregoing is right In the meantime, what are you going to do about it? Wo can t all bo smart. If ability to get a living with out work is a criterion of mental acu men, Judson Cole is the smartest man in town. It is with regret is read by the in diter of these Sunday paragraphs, an article in the first column of the 7th page m yesterday s uregonian, tnat there were 14 total, and 20 partial losses of vessels at the Columbia during the seven years from '81 to '88, inclusive. This is a grave mistake, and one that the Sound papers will make all the capital out of that they can. It cannot be that our inland con temporary wants to give our port a black eye. Further comment is de ferred, till it is seen if the mistake is not corrected. A greater falsehood could not well be stated in fewer words, or one more injurious alike to Portland and Astoria, than that con tained m the line referred to in yes terday's issue of our usually correct contemporary. That wonderful man Edison, is still catching on to some of the Almighty's secrets. His latest is some sort of an electric arrangement that enables one to s.ee from San Francisco to Boston. To understand it is not vouchsafed the ordinary mind. But we can enjoy the wonderful result, just as we can tho duplex wire, the telephone, tho phonograph, tho telautograph, and other of his wonderful inventions. Or rather discoveries. There is no such thing as an invention. What we call an "invention," is just something that tho Creator knew all tho tune, but that one of us down here or up here has just found out Edison has dropped on more of the Almighty's ways and knowledge, than anybody else in this century. If our brethren of the pulpit could just follow hiB lead, and get some authentic pointers' from headquarters, the churches in Astoria or anywhere else couldn't hold the crowds that would flock in. It showed presence of mind, though, on Edison's part, to wait till the afternoon of the nineteenth century before he was born, and began his wonderful inventions. Tf ho had appeared in tho cast iron past when men daren't express their thoughts for fear that the stake or the torture chamber would be their fate, he would have, likely enough, been roasted or drawn apart long bo fore this. That new invention of Edison's whereby a man can see afar off will be a good thing for men who buy timber land on the Nehalem. A Liverpool firm writes jthat after a series of experiments they have pro duced a composite plato that will sup ersede the usual tin plate on the Co lumbia river. They say they can sell the stuff for three shillings a box, of 112 plates, 14x20. Maybe so. Tho only thing that can ever supersede English tin plate in the salmon busi ness on the Columbia river, is Am erican tin plate from tho tin mines of Dakota. Three miles back of Westport the snow was 8 inches deep, yesterday morning, and four miles farther south the snow was 15 inches deep. At Knappa, snow was also reported.

Last evening the skating rink was well attended to see the quarter mile race betwepn W. S. Geary of Portland and Frank Gunn of Astoria. At 9 o'clock the participants appeared upon the floor and when the judges had been appointed, the word wjis given to "go," which they did in a very lively man ner. During tho first two laps Geary was in the lead but on making one of the turns fey, allowing Gunn to pass him. Geary got on his feet again but it was too late, Gunn had got so far ahead that at the end of the mile he was one lap ahead and declared the winner. Mr. Geary en tered a protest claiming. that he had made five laps, but as the raco was to be six laps, the judges disallowed the claim. Mr. Geary then withdrew his protest and the winner was called to tho middle of the floor and presented with a beautiful trophy in the shape of a leather medal with the following inscription on it: "Presented to Frank Gunn, tho Champion skater of the Pacific Coast, Astoria, Dec. 21, 1SS9.
