They offer to produce pictures at very cheap rates, to be paid for on the installment plan, demanding the first installment of two or three dollars in advance. The victims to the cheat never see the pictures or the pretended artists again. It would be well for the people of this state to be on the lookout for such Gcalawags, as they are liable to put in an appearance at airy time. The Walla Walla Statesman says Tvnock-downs and reports of knock downs and robberies are becoming quite frequent.

The tides yesterday were again very high in this vicinitv, and the effects of j these tides tuc to clear the beach of many an old sawyer that reposed quietly on the banks for a long time, partienl.uly on the upper town trail. The City of Chester got off in good shape yesterday with about as large pas senger list as ever left the Columbia river. Berths were at a premium among passengers, and we hear of one man who paid the fommale posessor of a bcrJi &!0 00 for the use of it during the passage. Mr. .Sam Harris, of this city, is not the Sam Harris whose photograph N to appear in the San Francico Police ("a zeWe. We were not aware until yester day that there was a man by that name in Astoria.

The Carpenters Brigade. The first job of work that we got on landing in Portland, fifteen years ago, w:is to cut and split twenty cords of wood for Capt. A. P. Ankney. We did it with our own hands, every bit of it; times were hard and we could not find any other work to do. There are in every community now Chinese monopolizing this business, and wJiite men dread to tackle that kind of work, but here in Astoria we botist of men who have the pluck to do any honest job that comes along, and Messrs. M. F.. Sessions, Fox, Badger and Church, have fitted themselves out for wood sawing or other odd t jobs, from build ing a hall to storing. a wood- shed. When you have work of this kind to do, givejt to the Carpenter's Brigade. Orders may be left on the bulletin board, at A. G. White's cigar store, on Slain street. Lilipjilians To-night, A real genuine treat await all who attend the Lilliputian Opera company's performances this evening at Liberty; hall. The programme has been. pub-, lished, and.for cast of characters, seel the advertisement in another column. 1 They will arrive to-day by special.bgat from Kala.rmfc . The Palouse Country. Uklr. James Benton, one of the ear liest settlers on the Palouse, informs the Walla Walla Statesi lan, that im migrants continue to pour into the country. One day this week one hun dred persons were' counted, all heading for Colfax. He states that nearly all the bottom lands are t.vken up, but back toward the mountains there is any amount of good lain 3 open to set tlement. They have tiv saw mills on the Palouse, three of tnem operated by steam power, and yet such is the demand for lumber Ihatithe mills re fuse to take new orders. The new comers will have to goback to the timber and build log hugs in which to pass the winter. Four (flouring mills will be ready for grinding this fall. Immigrants now coming n have means, and many of them desif to purchase improved farms. As a rule the set tlers are satisfied with? -their claims, and it is very rare that "man is found willing to sell. At the resent rate of progress, Whitman will" soon be tlie empire county of the tei itory. Temper an c Upon the temperance ' pic the Port laud evening Telegra says: 2so other is so contempt ;is the man who goes to his bed evel - night full of stimulating drinks, indices in hatred of himself every niorit .ig until he makes unto himself k promise to "q-nii," and tSien goes o'tt and allows himself to he persuaded either by the J cravings ef: his own a etite, or the invitations of boon com .uiions, to be filled up again.

He met an old friend, win .told him he must taper, -and sociability also re quired it, or the colic s ruck him or perhaps it was a wet daand he feared a chill, or a very hnt'l - .mil he was in danger of a sunstroke. These are the excuses he makes to his wife and family as well as to his conscience. He does not plead appetite, for he will not concede that he is under such slavery. But his family, even while accepting these frivolous 'excuses from their lovecl one ",sisfc th:lt he can olllv e reformed by prohibiting the manu- The very remedy insisted upon shows that they have no faith in his truth fulness; that they see his hypocrisy, and that they know that he litis sunk his manhood in his passion for drink. The onty practical remedy for this state of affairs seems to be the impres sing upon the mind of a man a deep sense of his individual responsibilit' to his family, society and his Maker, for his acts. Something for laundrys to look at Chemical Olive soap, 80 cents a box, at J. Stiiauss'. Beoantly the valley papers spoke of a nice eight-foot "bed that Mr. S. F. Matthews, the landlord of the Chem eketa hotel, found stowed away in. the attic of the hotl, and rigged up for the accommodation of Ool. Ruth Go shen, the giant, who performed here to night ith Commodore Nutt and the Liliputian opera- company. The Record has since, learned that the beadstead was made to order for R. P. Earhart, when he was landlord of the hotel, for the express purposed giving Hy Smith, of Har risburgj.nd Patterson, of Eugene, a good, oonifortable night's rest when they registered at his hotel.

From the Watchmau, Nov. ictlu Mr. John Jack closed his theatre, after a very profitable season, last Mon day night. He certainly is deserving the liberal patronage of any communi ty, and sustains a world famed reputa tion, not as a celebrated actor, but that of an honestgeDtleman. Success attend thee, Mr. Jack, where e're you may go. We shall see him again on Thanksgiving day, when he will give a good bill. What a glorious idea it would be if some of our enterprising farmers would join. in and start a little forest! The outlay would be hut a trifle com pared to the incalculable benefits which would be derived in after years. Talk the matter over during the, winter as you sit by the fireside of home, and then, perhaps, when springtime comes again you may take a notion to plant trees by the wholesale. Ninety passengers, mostly men in search of new homes, came up on last Sunday's train. We fear many come rather at the wrong season, will per haps stay and "rough it through the winter, and then when spring comes, just at the tune everything looks in viting, they will rush off and curse the country and everybody in it, be cause we have no California climate, African diamond diggings, and no place where to strike oil, but we have thousands upon thousands of acres of land which will bring forth its golden harvest when the proper time comes. But remember, strangers, winter is not our harvest season, hence don't feel disappointed if you should meet with si cold winter, though such are excep tions. Get your claim and sack to it. If you can't get the lumber in time to build your winter quarters, dig a hole in the side hill and sweat it through Is ext spring when you get you dwell ing up you can turn your temporary abode into a root house, but hang on to your land, for the day will come when you will thank us for these words of encouragement, no matter what you think about them now. Northern Idaho. From the Lewiston Teller, Nov. 3d. i Mr. Bhike, of Gen. Howard's com mand, arrived in - town on Thursday just in time for an appointment as timber inspector for Washington terri toiy, awaiting him. Martin Maulie was in town this week making out his statements of losses in cattle, hogs and other prop erty from the indians sifter the Clear water fight, and while Howard was dallying in camp. The amount fckts up to upwards of S,000. We learn that many of the first lo cated farmers, north of us, have ppid off their arrearages and are now com naratively free from debt, and some of them have money on hand, besides stock and well improved farms. Much of the timber for the con struction of the building for- the new saw mill of the Lewiston lumbering company is already on the ground, and they hope to have their mill in operation before the expiration of. next month. We are informed that parties who are interested to know, have taken steps to have a complete census taken of all the indians on the Nez Perce reservation. It will be completed this month, and be authentic and no guess work or'interested estimate. L. W. Davenport, Esq. , was in town this week from Pine Creek, he tells us that liis oats this season" yielded 110 bushels per acre of measured ground, and that his wheat uveraged 45 bush els per acre. He further says that im migration is flowing into that section of country very rapidly, that much of it is from California, and many of ihe newcomers are men of means sufficient to make a good start in improving t their lands.
