He says he was to have had all he received over 90 per cent, of the face of the bonds and that they would have sold for par and he has therefore lost 320,000. ArScles of incorporation were yes terday filed in the county- clerk's office, incorporating the Astoria Hotel com pany. The incorporators are J. O. Hanthorn, X W. Case, G..W. Sanborn, and "W. T.

A great hotel, a great news paper, and a first-class theater "will build up a big city of themselves. By the time the hotel is finished, and be fore it, Astoria will have the newspa per, and it is probable the theater will not b? f?r behind.

The McMinnville Register is enthu siastic when it talks of the coming railroad to the sea, and advises the citizens to wake up, and not only work their jaws but get down to hard work and raise a subsidy for the Salem, Astoria and Eastern railroad. It says the building of this road will guaran tee six- cents per bushel more toHhe farmers in that vicinity, and prophe sies that a manufacturing city of 10,000 inhabitants will stand on the present site of McMinnville within five years, if the road is built. In speaking of the inas3 meeting and proposed route, the Register says: "The three passes through the moun tains west of the city were discussed, and the Salem delegation expressed themselves that McMinnville was the desired point; provided, however, that McMinnville will hold out a helping hand to Salem.

We were comfortably seated around the hearth at Porter Lake, in Pike county, Pa., and the spirit of story tailing was strong upon 'us, because the fishing had been unusually good and "the supper bounteous. The flash and sparkle of wit filled the upper air xjf the room as with a fine aurora, and a halo of calm bliss encircled the brow of each entranced listener. But first the drug and then the antidote. The benevolent colonel drew us down gently from the giddy heights with a story of a coarse plebian, lo cally known a3 catfish. Thus ran his tale: "A man and his dog went fish ing in the Mississippi. In a short time the man felt a mighty pull on the line and he knew that a catfish had taken hold. The giant came along peacefully enough until he hap pened to change his mind and then he decided to "double on his course and take the man along. The faithful dog, seeing his master's danger, rushed to the rescue bravely enough. The wily catfish, when he found the dog pur suing, turned upon him and terrified the dog, who incontinently turned tail and swam vigorously toward the dry land, the catfish hotly following. "Presently the dog gained the land and ran hastily, the catfish madly surging after liim. The dog sorely pressed and fearing a painf ill death, in his extremity climed a tree, the cat fish still pursuing." lold-on!Hold on!" we cried m pi-no "do1 cannot climb trees.
