It (a curlou to notice the difference In
the opinion of loggers as to future de
mands for logs and the capacity of log
gnrs to meet them. One prominent log
ger that we talked with last week thought
" that logs would be scarce and In good
, demand this fall, while another equally
' reliable man said there would be logs to
burn. So there you are.
Mr. H. B. Borthwlok, the enterprising
' lumberman, of Goble, was In the city
Friday, says the Astorlan. Mr. Borth
wlrk speaks very enthusiastically of the
lumber situation on the coast, and says
the demand was never better. The
home market, as well as foreign ship-
xnents, he says, are greatly
with every indication of a bu
uuiulated,
busy summer.
The body of an unknown man was die
j covered lloating under the whartat May
i er last Friday. , There was nothing
' found on him to assist in his IdentlBca
tloa, but from his clothing and general
appearance it is supposed lie had been
working on the railway. There was a
cut on the side of the head, but the body
had been in the water so long that ft
could not be told whether the injury was
received before or after death.

A barge loaded with lumber, belong
ing to the Borth wlek Lumber Company,
was capeixed off Tongue Point Thursday
of last week while being towed down the
river. The wind was Mowing strongly,
and the choppy sea which it raised broke
over the barge, partly filling her. The
lumber was washed overboard, but the
barge did not sink. loiter steamer
picked up the lumber, which was strewn
long the beach, and it was loaded on
cows and taken to Astoria.
A very sad accident happened at War
ren one day recently in which one of
Warren's best citizens, Mr. Max Berg,
lost the sight of his left eye. Mr. Berg
had devoted mach of his time the past
winter to cutting cord wood, and was
just splitting the last stick to finish his
winter's work, when a chip from a steel
wedge 6ew and struck him In the left
eye. Mr. Borg went immediately to
l'ortland, where he placed himself nnder
treatment, but it was useless to try to
: aave the sight of the eye. His many
friends will regret to hear of this sad
misfortune. .
A sad accident occurred at Benson's
upper logging eamp near Mayger, about
6 o'clock last Saturday evening, by which
Charles Mattson, an employe of the
camp, was Instantly killed. "Mattson
had finished hia work for the day and
was on bia way home, when a log started
down a skid road, coming at great speed
down the incline. Mnttson made an el
fort to get out of the way but was un
successful, and the log crashed Into him,
frightfully mangling hia body and lower
limbs. Mattson was about thirty years
of age and unmarried.
Potatoes are now selling in Astoria at
1.60 a sack. This is the highest price
readied in four years, says the Aatorian,
when they were sold at S1.75, and for a
short time brought as high as 2.00 a
sack. New potatoes, the first of which
come from California, will not be on the
market much before the middle of May,
nd even then, not in any quantity, so
there is no telling how high the price
may go before; the market la stocked
with the new crop. Dealers say the po
tato market was cornered last fall by a
shrewd Portland dealer, who bought
18,000 sacks at 40 cents sack.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. DMard enter
tained number of their friends Tues-
day evening in an informal manner.
The principal feature of the evening's
entertainment was the exhibition of
many beautiful Columbia river and Pa
ri He coast mountain scenes produced by
Photographer Ford's magic lantern.
Numerous games were slaved and an
elegant luncheon disposed of, and at an
early hous in the morning the friends
departed for their respective homes.
The occasion of the party was the cele
bration of Mrs. Dillard's birthday, and
all present wished for the estimable
nosiest many nappy returns oi uioitoii.
Joe Dupont, supervisor of road dis
trict No. 23, was in town Monday morn
ing, and informed us that he has just
completed bridge 200 feet long, made
of cedar puncheons, on the road pear
hia place, on the Nehalem road. The
bridge is on that portion of the road re
cently laid out leading around the hill
near Duponf place, over which the
main traveled road runs. The improve
ment Is a good one, and merits com
mendation for the industry of Mr. Du-
font. The new road overcomes a steep
ill and a long, tedious haul. Many
such changes could made In the Neha
lem road to great advantage, both in
, time consumed in travel anu expense m
curred in construction.
Ann nan anawnlv annreciate the in
nulla In daily transnortation
facilities from this city until a trip is
made to Portland and return on Captain
Good's new steamer, America. The lm
nmvainiini mailn for the comfort of the
passengers is exceeded only by the abil
ity of the new boat to land Its passengers
in Portland at an earlier hour than was
possible with the old steamer, waving
this city at 7 a. m., making twenty-live
to thirty landings, the steamer arrives
in Portland at 10:80, or before, which is
. evidence of her increased speed capacity.
We believe the people accommodated by
the presence of this popular little steamer
will appreciate the effort of her owner,
' and reward him with liberal and un
divided patronage.

Fells Gllnlockl Is a hero. To bis
courage and alertness is due ths capture
of a character whose acta of lawlessness
would no doubt been reoeated more than
once In the neighborhood in which he
was capturea.
Glinfcckl is batching at the W. E.
Stevens place, near Warren, and it was
the farm house there which was entered
and ransHcked.supposedly in the absence
of the Inhabitant, which, to a degree,
was the cane, but by a stroke of luck Mr.
Qiinlecki returned home in the nick of
time to aave the loss of considerable
wearing apparel and a considerable quan
tity of provision.
It was on Sunday morning last, when
Ullnieukl, who had been up at Scappoose
with his team, returned to the Stevens
place, passed the houso, and on to the
barn, where the team was cared for.
These duties performed, Ullnleckl re
turned to the house, entered, and the
scene within was a surprise party for
two.
In the middle of the room stood ths
.1 !.. ft nilU. I WUUVI kiwi w.a.vaaa,
Jtavs the customary salutation of "Hal
oa." With Felix it wasn't a case of
"What are vou doing here?" because
the evidence was too plain, Felix stepped
ahead of the unwelcome visitor to the
corner of the room, where stood a loaded
double-barrelled shotgun, which was
brought into hasty use as a persuasive
for a detailed explanation in words, as
well as appearances.
Matters being thus sdjusted between
the two participant at the surprise
party, Felix gave "marching orders" and
with customary army-officer tactics, kept
slightly to the rear, while hia "com
mand" advanced on St. Helens, where
the county tail was captured and taken
possession of without a shot being fired.
A complaint was entered at the justice's
olllce, and on Monday at 10 o'clock the
prisoner, f rank weicn, wno irom an
appearances is "a typical hobo, was ar
raigned neiore justice uox lor prelim
inary examination. Defendant pleaded
"gtiiitv as charged in the complaint."
and the justice decreed that defendant
would be held in the sum of 500 to ap
pear for examination before the next
grand jury, in default of which Sheriff
Kioe proceeded to Portland with him on
Wednesday alternoon.
Ths property which ths fellow had
appropriated to bis nse was number
of shirts, sweater, and other articles of
wearing apparel, besides s miriygooa
supply of provisions. Ail toe apparel
had been out on by the burglar, ready
to wear away, and within the shirts and
sweater were stored the groceries.
The prisoner is about 22 years of age,
and in all probability will be five or
more years older before he enjoys abso
lute freedom again.

Meserve Brother Enter Mercantile
Field at Gray's River.
L. J. Meserve, who ha been employed
at Mr. W. H. Dolman's store In this city
for several months past, started for
Q ray's River. Wash., last Monday even
ing, where, in company with his brother,
W. N. Meserve, will enter Into the gen
eral merchandise business, having pur
chased the interests of Mr. Walker, who
has been in business there for many
years. The purchase consists of the
store building, lots, with 400 feet front
age on the river, stock on hand, and all
appurtenances.
This selection as location in which
to engage in that line of business Is a
good one, anu no question as to success
remains. The town of Gray's River is
at the bead of navigation on the stream
bearing that name, and the country
tributary to the place is rich in fertility
and resources. The chief industry in
that section la logging, altoougn great
deal of dairying and agriculture is car
ried on there. Stockraisins is auite an
extensive industry there as well, and
the proximity ot Ue location to tne nett
ing grounds of the lower Columbia ren
ders it doubly desirable location in
which to engage in the mercantile busi
ness. W. N. Meeerve is now engaged
in building a logging railroad on Gray's
river for L. Baldern. and It is ssid that
this is not the only protect of like
character being planned for that locality.
Tne aDiiity oi tne jaeserve ooys to
successfully conduct such a business is
unquestioned, and their venture is cer
tain to bring them handsome returns.
Possessing capital sufficient to enable
them to handle larsre stock, and being
obliging and honorable, they are certain
of success. Their numerous friends in
Columbia county wish them abundant
prosperity, and assure the people of
Gray's river that the new firm is com
posed ol gentlemen.
