A Washington dispatch received yes' terday savs: It was ascertained at the war depirtment today that Captain Lingfitt will rentuln on duty at Port land. Th order Issued yesterday,. while not staling so, was intended to relieve him of a part of his present duty-thai Is that part of the district formerly under Captain Hart.

If anybody In this nick of. the vod has any tlsh scales to sell, let him step to the front and rlnlm the business that awaits him. Yesterday The An torlan received from the postmaster at Portland a letter from Kan'i iifUnK where fish scales could be bought. It seems that the fish In Portlmd have no scales, so the letter was sent rn to Astoria. It reads as follows: ' Glrard, Kan., Jan. 5. Postmaster, Portland. Ore.: IH you know of any one that keeps fish scales to sell used tor mak ing dsn scale flowers? If you do not know of anybody that keeps them to sell, will you please hand this letter to someone who cans fish? I use almost any kind of scales, large or small. Re spectfully, Mrs. J. D. Salmons." Here Is a chance for Marcus Susmnn or some other equally enterprising financier, who might develop a large trade In scales. A self-addressed postal card U at this office for any replies that may be mu le to Mrs. Salmons' letter Speaker Harris has received a testi monial from the "minority party" In the legislature. In the form of a gavel. The presentation was inude lnforn ally, si ns not to delay the business of the house: Representative C. V. Galloway of Yamhill performed this function. Mr Harris responded gratefully and Inti mated that he would wield :he gavel in a wuy that would not b; oppressive to democrats. There are "n democrats In the legislature against 73 republi cans, The gavel was ivade rrom the wood of a tree planted at Mount Vrn on, In 199, by Washington himself, a short time before his death. Tho tree Is a lurge nsh nnd stands within 100 feet of the mansion. The gavel Is a piece of a large limb cut from the tree. Itt lies of the character of this one are told at Mount Vernon and at no other place, and the proceeds go toward the keeping up of the home. Thirty thousund dollars' worth of these relics, made from trimmings of trees planted by Washington himself at Mount Vernon, have been sold. Many persona Interested In legislation called yesterduy on Representatives Hahn and Carnahan to examine the measures of local Interest introduced In the legislature. The bill protecting boatpullers and laborers engaged In Ashing operations, and providing, lelns for wages due them, excited the great est Interest, and to those Interested seemed satisfactory in every respect. House bill No. C9, Introduced by Mr. Jones of Lincoln county, changes the present district attorney law, and dif fers radically from another district at torney measure presented. It makes each county a separate district, for which an attorney shall be elected for a term of four years, the first election to be held in 1904. The salary of the attorney of Clatsop county Is placed at 11300 yearly, which Mr. Hahn ngards as somewhat high. He Is of the opin ion that a salary of $1200 would be suf ficient, In view of the fact that the dis trict attorney for this district, compris ing Clatsop, Columbia, Washington and Clackamas counties, now receives S2100 annually, A bill Introduced by Repre sentative Burleigh flxe the time for the transaction of prnba'4 business by the probate Judge as the first Monday In each mon'h, and provides that the business of the county shall be attend ed to commencing on the nrst Wednes day In each month. The dates differ In several counties, and those here giv en apply to Clatsop, Benator Miller's bill fixing the salaries of state officials provides for a salary of 15000 for gov ernor, $4WX) for the secretary of stale, t?ooo for the slate treasurer and tiroo for the state printer.

Manager Scllg returned yesterday from Portland, where he signed a con trat for the appearenre here, on he evening of Thursday next, of the Oor don-Shay grand opera company. After signing the contract Thursday night Mr. Selig met with a little bad luck, and tho following morning the agree nvmt was annuled by the manager of the company. However, by dint of hard work, Manager Sellg brought the company around to his way of looking at things, and the masterpiece of the great Verdi, "II Trovatore," will be presented to an Astoria audience. Th Gordon-Shay company will make Its first appearence at Pendleton, and will leave that city on a special train to make connections for Astoria.

The song made a hit the first night, and thereafter whenever Miss Johnson appeared, on the stage demands for tho song came from the audience. Miss Carl, a remarkable contralto, was alo here with Miss Johnson. Miss Carl afterwards lost her reason through overstudy, and died In an asylum. , Wherever the Gordon-Shay company has appeared It has met with the most enthusiastic praise, especially In the south, where the love of music seems to be quite as deeply rooted as formerly. No such array of noted singers has ev er before visited this city, and it Is certain that the capacity of the house will be taxed. Impresslaro J. Saun ders Gordon deserves great credit for the organisation of his unexcelled com pany, and in Miss Rose Ceceilla hay he has undoubtedly discovered a prima donna of rare qualities.
