Ovsfrrs served in every style at 'the Walla Walla Restaurant The Portland board of trade en dorsed the action of congress on the Chinese bill. Can it be possible that there is any more water left in the clouds? "Where docs it all come from, anyhow? The Isle of Erin having Eecirred a charter was taken up the river yester day in tow of the steamer Ocklahama, yllot Snow on deok. Gapt. Linskill expected to com plete the loading of his ship Prince Amadeo, at the Farmers warehouse last evening. Adler has left a lift of delinquents at this oflice to be published on the 1st of March, in case that the accounts are not settled by that day. Oristie finding that his boat filled with water faster than he could bail 'er out, pulled the plug loose yesterday and now she floats placidly "in the orain." Try egg jumbles, banana cakes, 'nic-nacs, Jenny Xiind extra soda and pic-nics, if you want anything in the cracker line. To be had at J. W. Gearhartrs. - .Carl A dler has secured the servi ces of an expert watchmaker, and is now prepared for business in that line. All work warranted. Repairing of all .kinds done neat and cheap. The Coos bay and Roseburg rail road has been agitated, says the Plain dealer, but int an idea or suggestion has as yet .been acted upon. It is indecision like this that ruins a com munity. The Pacific coast is alive to the natter of urging President Hayes to sign the Chinese bill. If hs fails to do so, count upon Nevada, California and Oregon as a unit for democracy hereafter, politically. --Mr. D. Leahy, superintendent of this division of the Western Union telegraph, will arrive in Astoria this evening, for the purpose of looking out a route for a telegraph line, from Astoria to Point Adams light, via Tanzy point fishery and Fort Stevens. The residence of Mr. A. Kicolai, in East Portland was burglarized Sun day morning at 1:30 o'clock. Mrs. 3S icolai, at once gave an alarm, when the burglar decamped with a trunk. The burglar was tracked as far as Shafer's wharf, where he escaped with the plunder. A few days ago "Walla "Walla was partially submerged, in consequence of the sudden rise of Mill creek. At latest accounts the water -was still rising and the city hall was in danger of being flooded. The recent heavy rains and the melting of snow caused ihe ireshet. Clinging dresses are going slowly, but surely, out of fashion; tied back dresses have entirely become things of the past. Thby have recently earned a bad name from the fact that investr gution has proved that many of the Twomen drowned at the wreck of the Princess Alice owed their utter ina bility to help themselves, or to sustain themselves when help was given them, .to the fact of their being encumbered '.with tight-clinging skirts, which held .them ,down. Action of ilie Astoria Chamber of Commerce At a called meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last evening the fol lowing dispatcli was ordered to be for warded to Washingten: To the President of the United States: In view of the true commercial in terests, the prosperity and peace of the Pacific states, we earnestly pray that the Chinese restriction bill be come a law. By order of the Chamber of Com merce. J. W. Geauiiart, Vice President. 1 Aug. C. KcrcfEY, Secretary. The Season of Jicnt. A carefully prepared circular from the llev. Octavius Parker, rector of Grace church parish, reminds us that yesterday began the six weeks spring fast of certaiu -branches of the christian church. The rapid growth and extension of the church have made this fast of the year an important occurrence where its coming was formerly scarcely noticed. The origin of tlris -observance is a mat ter of dispute. The Roman catholic, the orthodox Greek, and most of the Anglican churchmen hold that the fast was instituted by apostolic au thority, while the great body of prot estants, assert that it had its origin later, and that there is no authority, ecclesiastical, for its observance. In like manner, the persons who keep the fast differ among themselves with respect to the manner of keeping it. With men and women of intelligence, the fast is observed rationally, and with great attention to the spirit of the law which imposes the observance. Care for JMptheria, Dr. Field of England, says an east ern paper, has treated drptheria with perfect success by this metliod, never having lost a patient. All he took with him in his professional visits was powder of sulphur and a quill. He put a teaspoonful of flour of brimstone into a wine glass of water, and stired it with his finger instead of a spoon, as sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When well mixed, he gave it as a gargle. Instead of spit ting out the gargle, he recommends the swallowing of it. When called just in the "nick of time," when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling. In case it is impossible for tiie patient to gargle, a live coal may be placed on a shovel, and sprink ling a teaspoonful or two of flour of brimstone at a time upon it, the suf ferer may hold the 3iead over it, in haling it. Indian -Camp Surprised. The Lewiston Teller of the 14th learns 'fihat about three weeks ago in formation was received by the set tlers on the Weiser that a band of Indians who raided that valley last summer drove off stock, and killed people who pursued them, and made their escape into the mountains be tween the Payette and south forks of Salmon river, were returning to the Payette. A company was organized for a short campaign to intercept them. They proceeded across to the Payette and soon found signs of the Indians. They quietly reconnoitered and made discovery iof their camp. Waiting a favorable opportunity when all were in camp and not in the least expecting the near presence of white men, .the' suddenly surprised and at tacked them, and killed 30 of their number, nearly annihilating their whole camp. Onlv -two r thvn are known to have escaped death. The band was composed of south fork of Salmon Indians, who are Snakes, a few Payettes, some of the Weisers and one or two renegade Nez Perces and TTmatillas. Forthe last eighteen months no man was safe to go through the region where they roam unless in company with several others and well armed. Their anni hilation is a god send to the miners and settlers who do business in that region. It is evident that the settlers in iu lure mean business in connection with all hostile and treacherous In dians, and know who are masters of the country. They are rHit.

Letters From the People.- SPECIAL TO THE ASTORIAX Sejpan'ON, Feb. 24. Clatsop coun ty is destined to be one of the fore most counties in the state, and one of its prominent features is a healthy lo cality. 2fo other place that I ever lived in is one-half as healthy as here. One seldom ever -hears of sickness. All malarious diseases are carried here from other localities not found in Clatsop county, and why come here, simply because the ja tient has tried all remedies, and fail ing to get relief, finally comes to the PaciGc coast and a few weeks sojourn purifies and cleanses his whole system, bathes a few times in the salt sea, and he feels like another man. True this county is not as prosper ous as it might be, but the day is not far distant when the surrounding counties will acknowledge her advant age as a sea-port. When a narrow gauge railroad terminating at Astoria, leading from the Wallamet valley, draining it of its surplus products . :hen the people of Clatsop will see better times, and our sister city Port land will not have it all her own way, and the eastern part of the state will cease shipping her rich product of wheat via that point, and it will come direct to Astoria as it should. Spring seems very backward this year. The cold, freezing weather we had this winter nearly froze the grass out by the roots on Clatsop plains, asd the rains we have had since, were so cold that in consequence stock has to go hungry for grass and live on what little the farmers have garnered for times like this. The milk product of the plains will be manufactured in to cheese the coming season under the supervision of Mr. More, superin tendent of Butterlield's cheese factory, of last season, a very reliable man as regards manufacturing cheese. Also Mr. Charles Butterfield anticipates making cheese on the Gearhart farm. Two cheese factories in this county will keep butter in good demand, so wake up Clatsop people, and "push ahead in the right direction. M. Ancient Order of United "Workmen. Mr. H. G. Oliver, Deputy Supreme Master workman for the State of Cali fornia, has arrived in Astoria, and is preparing to organize a lodge of the Ancient Order of "United Workmen, a fraternal and beneficial organization, composed of men of all useful profes sions and occupations. Pretermitting eH reference to nation ality, political opinions or denomina tional distinctions or preferences, but believing in the existence of a God, the creator and preserver of the universe, and recognizing as a fundaraetal prin ciple that usefulness to ourselves and others is a duty which should be the constant aim and care of all, the follow ing are submitted as the aims and purposes of the order. 1. To embrace and give equal pro tection to all classes and kinds of labor, mental and physical; to strive earnestly to improve the moral, in tellectual and social condition of its members; to endeavor, b3r wholesome precepts, fraternal admonitions and substantial aid, to inspire a duo -appreciation of the stern realities and responsibilities of life. 2. To create a fund for the benefit of its members during sickness or other disability, .and in case of a deatlj. to pay a stipulated sum to such per son or persons as may be designated by each member, thus enabling him to guarantee the family against want. 3. The adoption of such secret work and means of recognition as will insue the protection of Its members where ever the order may exist. 4. To hold lectures, read essays, discuss new inventions and improve ments, encourage research in art, science and literature, and, when practicable, maintain a library for the improvement of the meniber3. The Reno Gazette thinks it is likely that the legislature of Nevada will pass a joint resolution instructing their representative in congress to give their best attention to securing increase mail service between Reno as:d Willow ranch. If favorable ac- , tion is obtained from congress this j line will be extended through -Goose lL- -cftlW in Orecrou. thence to Link- i ville and over the southern Oregon wagon road to Ashland, connecting with the Redding and Roseburg .route.
