Pleasant River Trip
W. E. Buffum returned to this city
last evening on the launch "Mamie"
upon which he has just concluded a
delightful river trip to Portland and
Oregon City. He says the heat in
both cities, for the past three days,
was almost unbearable, and that the
charm of Astoria's cool and refresh
ing airs was never so apparent as
when he struck them in rounding
down to the city from Tongue Point

Yesterday morning Eugene Bus

fire department, was exercising h'n
team on Grand avenue, and as he ap
proached the intersection of Tentii
where the heavy excavations are un
dcr way in the opening of the latter
thoroughfare, an explosion occurred
that threw rocks and dirt into the air
for a hundred feet, and landed back
over a wide radius. One rock seven
inches in diameter fell within four
feet of his team's heads, and he raced
them out of further peril in double
quick time. There was no lookout or
no warning, no chance to escape; and
it is time the proper authorities were
taking the matter in hand and provid
ing for the safety of ciliien at such
points.

caused so much interest' for. the past
two days at the Eleventh street head

minutes at a time. Otherwise he will

Machinery Worka Admirably '..
Yesterday the machinery of the As

new brick factors, was started run

heavy mechanism worded to the com
plete satisfaction . of Mr. Ogan, the
manager and his men, as well as to
that of the directors, several of whom
were present at the launching, of the
business. The product is as fine, and
hard, and true in shape as anything of
the sort on the American market and
the company and the city are to be
congratulated upon the excellence of
the first day's work and its results,
and the hope is abroad that no day of
its existence may prove less pleasing
to all concerned, in every . respect,
than yesterday.

Some Beautiful Dahlias
In the windows of the Hoefler store
re some dahlias so beautiful in color
and delicate texture that they are
worth while going to see. Especially
to a lover of flowers will these dahlias
ecm of unusual interest. In every
'old fashioned" flower garden over
half the world will be found the hardy
ahlias, but seldom are they really
beautiful, or delicate; rather are they
alued for their l.ardy, showy, or pe
rennial qualities, but these in the
Hoefler windows, which may be as a
ample of what may be done with the
dahlia in Astoria, are as delicate in
oloring and texture as a chrysan
themum. In fact, with their leaves
curled to points, these dahlias look
ike chrysanthemums. . They were
grown by Mrs. .j. terguson, ac-
