U) Txc StoiXoj lximi ASTORIA. OREGON : DIBELAXD Editor. wtv" - ,0"10 i IDA1 Oct. 12, lb, Joseph's Surrender. A Fort Benton disr)atch of the 8th, tells how the wiley sa age was induced to yield .as follews: Since the first battle of Miles with Joseph's band the troops have been holding the hostiles in a narrow ravine and have picked them oii trom rule pits, losing oniy h: four men themselves. Joseph raised a white fla" four times, offering tosur- j t 'ci in ii..i i- ender. if he might be allowed to keep u,uu' h t his o-nns. Miles demanded uncondi ... 0 tional surrender, and on the last day Joseph raised the white flag again, ad vanced in front of the lines, handed his gun to Miles and shook hands with Jiim. The remainder of the command did the same. Forty wounded Indians were found in camp. The number of dead is unknown, as all were buried. The glory of the fight rests with Miles. Intrenchments of the Nez Perces were ingeniously constructed. Their bravery w:is unsurpassed through out the fight, and they are credited with numerous acts of humanity to ivounded whites. Eastern Elections. Ohio has gone democratic by about :20,000 at least. Both brandies of the legislature will be democratic. Estimates place Iowa republican by tibout 25,000. The Chicago Inter Ocoan regards the verdict as the seal of disapproval placed by republicans on the course of the administration. The defeat is bit ter, far-reaching and disastrous, but if it opens the eyes of potitical wise acres it may not be wholly useless. Three great blunders were made in Ohie: first, endorsing the southern policy in the convention; second, an tagonizing the finaucial feeling of the entire west; third, the handcuffing of the few republican officials in Ohio by endorsing the civil service order. These moves put the jmrty in as good .shape for a sound thrashing as a party could be. The sop thrown to the work ingmen alienated many republicans and was of no avail in securing working men's co-operation, because too incom plete and inane. The last hope of continued republican supremacy in the United States senate is now gone. Maine and Iowa refused to endorse and retain their republican majorities. Ohio endorses, approves, yields and is j lost. Jennie June says that money is not so often the reason young women marry elderly men as people imagine. She says that the young man of to-day is not the desirable husband that the young man of fifty years ago was; he is not so thoughtful, sober, painstak ing and conscientious; he lives at a club, has no love of home life, nor de sire to build up character and reputa tion as a man and citizen; his ideas of life are bounded by the theatre and the doings of his little set; and, in too many cases his ambition is to own a racer and be on intimate terms with the ballet. Naturally mothers "shrink from intrusting their daughters to such youths as these, even if they have the opportunity, and are better pleased to bestow them on older men who have sown their wild oats; who know how little of real value there is in the tern- porary excitement of pleasure; who have, perhaps, been married once, and have learned to value home and the guarantees it affords for permanent ! tjiese fifai"res. happiness." Qrajn by the thousands of tons still remain stacked up around the railroad, Palouse City. The new Palouse and exposed to the heavy rains of the Gazette says of its heme: "Palouse past few days must sustain very great . . .,.,. ., n .damage.

Fred Stine is having a very sub stantial looking bulkhead constructed back of his residence on Alder street. He suffered severely by the last high water. Tom O'Brien, the popular land lord of the Steine house, returned from Grande Ronde valley on 'Wed nesday. He was summoned there a week ago to attend the sick bed of his iitue son "iKe, wno is now on the lughvray of health. The true im(; of the man who suiciciea at tne garrison last weeK, as , , , . , , . shown by his baptism papers, was John J. behaler, a native of Germany and formerly of Sacramento, Califor nia. The receipts of the Walla "Walla Iost-ofiice for the quarter ending September 30th, were 5Gl. The Dayton office during the same period received $27; the "Wallula office 11 and the Alpowa office $o. These are small figures for Dayton and large for the rest. -Ralph Geer, an old and highly respected resident of the Waldo Hills, Marion county, Oregon, is up here visiting his son, L. B. Geer, the sheep man. He brought his weather with him. Cait. J. M. Nosier, former sheriff of Whitman county, started out two years ago to find a better country. After wandering all over the Pacific coabt and failing to do so, he has re turned. Capt. Friedman, who was engaged m the mercantile business in this city at ah early day, is visiting his old home. He is much surprised and gratified at the improvement visible on all sides. The rains commenced so early this sejison that the ground has bee'n ! rendered fit to plow. Some farmers have already started their plows, while most or the others are getting ready to do so. A large amount of new ground will be broken this se;ison. Every commercial traveler, every tourist, every man seeking for a new home, every one who has returned home from a journey, pronounces Walla Walla, even on a rainy day, the liveliest town on the coast. The Dalles Mountaineer says: In the daily reports of cattle sales as pub lished in the Drover's Journal of Chi cago, we find an account of the Bale of 150 head of eastern Oregon beef steers that took place in that city on the 10th instant, which reads as follews: "To Monroe, 150 steers, average 1427 lbs., at 5, these cattle were from Oregon, (but grazed in Kansas." In the same reports we noticed that a lot ot Texas cattle averaged 574 lbs. , and brought 3 15, making the difference in favor of ihe Oregon cattle more than three to one. The Oregon cattle averaged $71 35 each, while the Texas cattle averaged only 21 SO. Wo have no knowledge of the cost gf taking cattle to the Chicago market, and therefore are not prepared to say how much was realized in this venture. From the Statesman. Hon. J. 33. LaDu, just elected to preside over the lower house of the territorial legislature, has had much legislative experience, and is certain to lill the place creditably. An honest man, he will be a thorn in the side of those who have "put up jobs," and ! will resolutely oppose frauds it matters not by whom they are championed. The above was written at a time when we supposed Mr. La Du would be per manent speaker. "We won't take it back. The heavy rains that have pre vailed nearly all week will most cer tainly damage grain that is left ex posed. The rains have eommcned earlier than usual and find many per sons unprepared for the vistation. One of our largest operators in forms us that shippers have ceased to buy wheat. He says the uncertainty about getting the wheat out ot the j country Iras driven capitalists out of I the market. Millers are buying wheat nl small quantities for milling purpo- ses, paying YiKgVZ cents, jjus is a decline upon the price paid by millers l.ior tvnl. Onlv idiiiicit lilts ciiimivmfl i wheat at $ iJUCvNsoa per cental, in this market wheat is dull sale at 70 cellts a bushel. The reason of this is the lack of shipping facilties. The San Francisco rate for wheat is $1 40 per bushel, and it will thus be seen that our prouueers pay at the rate of (0 cents a bushel to get their wheat to market. That is to say, the farmer nets 70 cents, and the shippers, com- ,w . ,v ,, nf. mission me l,. ere., gob uiu emcr u cents. Rather a heavy tax upon producers. Is it not a Fraud. A number of wealthy Portlanders have formed a joint stock company with a capital stock of s:KK),(MKJ for the pur pose of fitting out an expedition to visit Coacus Island, near the coast of Central Africa, for the purpose of searching for a treasure said to have been deposited there bv an organized band of Bucca neers, many rears ago. They get their information from one who supposes himself the sole surviver of the band, and claim to have confidence in the suc cessful results of the enterprise. Moun tain Sentinel, Oct. (5. If a number of wealthy Portlanders would form a joint stock company with a capital stock of 300,000 or less for the purpose of dereloping the ship building interest of the state; pro tecting its commercial status, or in some way tend to benefit some other portion of Oregon, or its people, the citizens of the balance of Oregon could point to Portland capitalists with some degree of pride, as the people all orer California point to San Francisco with that sentiment becoming to pros perous communities. But we renture to say that Portland would not stake 75 cents on any renture, and are pre pared to belierc that the abore report is a fraud, and not a fact. Thirty thousand models -were de stroyed by fire in the Patent Office. The value of property lost in the ab stract -will aggregate about 1,500, 000, but as a large class of models can not, or will not, be replaced, the act ual loss will probably not reach over 8800,000 or $900,000. The Patent Office has to its credit with the Treas ury, over and above its earnings, a sum sufficient to meet this expendi ture, but it can not be used without appropriation of Congress. iii:i.
