About a week ago the Portland Standard contained an item about a certain person in Wash ington territory raising 200 or 300 pounds of canary seed. It sounded rather large when we read it, but faded into insignificance a few days ago when we learned that Joseph Nixon, Linn county's ex-treasurer, had raised on his place this year one thou sand pounds. Fashionable Once. A lady who attends all the openings puts the sub joined story into shape: "We stepped into a milliner's shop the other day on business, and accidently sat down on a bonnet that some one had laid on the chair. We remained there until no one was looking in our direction, and then we quietly got up and stepped on one side. There was a Lady in at the time looking for a bonnet shaped to suit her. She finally found the one we had finished, and it just took her fancy. It was just what she wanted, so she said." had done for us from Klaskanine, and j now we have to mention returns from a j precinct in Washington county. Last spring we sent some seed corn to Mr. La Dn, at Mount Coffin, which had been sent to us from Georgia. Yesterday we re ceived samples of the product from that seed measuring seventeen feet in hight, the ears well filled, hang just svxen feet from the ground. Who can beat that. Accompanying the corn !

Elder in Portland, James C. Liddy, who drives hack for the O. T. Co. took a, load of passengers in his vehi cle and started with them for their several homes. The night (about 1:45 a. M.) was so dark as to render objects in the- streets all but invisible. In driving past the the intersection of E and North Park streets, his team took a plunge into a hole dug for a fire cis tern in the center of the intersection. The horses remained in the cistern until early next morning, when they were taken out, one of them being badly injured. The hack was also somewhat damaged; but fortunately the inmates and driver escape with a few slight bruises. There was nothing put up around or about the hole to in dicate its existence to the traveler as should be done in all such cases. The cistern being so far from the center of the city, the authorities or the person under whose supervision it is being built, probably did not deem it neces sary to see to it and have the usual guards and light erected; but the cor poration will undoubtedly have a "right smart chance" of a bill to pay for the neglect. Rich Display. It is not much won der that John Jack's troupe went up to Salem before the fair Champion, and returned Bonanza. A private letter from him says : 'Although Astoria and Astorians have pleasantly occupied my mind since my departure, the press of business has prevented me from even dropping you a line to preserve the meinorv of irood feeling that exist he- i tween us. My visit with my company to Walla Vfalla. the center of the great agricultural interest destined soon to develop the great commercial center of the coast Astoria, was all .the success I could have desired. At Salem during the State Fair Jack's (Astoria) theatre was the center of attraction, and while all else failed, it did the greatest busi ness ever done at the Opera-house there. On Saturday my band with band wagon was drawn by Y. C. Mvers' splendid team of four Percheon horses, weighing in the aggregate fifteen thousand pounds and valued at twenty thousand dollars. Off in the morning for Walla Walla, will visit my stamping ground, Astoria, during the winter. Remember me with every feeling of gratitude to my Astoria patrons and friends, and send Astorian regularly to Walla Walla for four weeks. 1 had the gratification to meet many of them at the Fair, and shall always be happy to hear of, and contribute to their success."'
