The steamship Oregon made the onin from Portland to Astoria in six hours, on Sunday last. The Great IRepublic made it the same day in seven hours. The distance traveled was about 125 miles. The Astorian came very near having one reader less at Knappa. He thought he was taking bear-berry bitterc, but it turned out to be horse medicine. He is slowty recovering from the effects of his error. No cards. Mr. A. F. Stream, of North Cove, informs us that the remains of a man, supposed to be a soldier, ware dis covered by Indians near Snag-island, in Shoalwater bay last week. The remains appear to have been in the water a long time. Owing tc -the high water the trans portation of coal at Seattle has been temporarfy .suspended. A small por tion of the track is submerged but no material damago has been done. Engines cannot run for the fact that the fires would be put out by the water. The people of Clackamas county are in earnest in the matter of build ing a railroad from Molalla valley to Oregon city, and several well attended enthusiastic meetings have alreaily leeii held in the interest of the enter prise, and much solid aid has been pledged. o Mr. John Douglass, engineer at "Bain So Co.'s works met with a very painful accident yesterday, which will probably lay him up for some time. As he was feeling to test the .vibration of a saw-shaft one of his lingers came in contact with a bolt head, carrying it down through the opening and tear ing the llesh badly. The wound was dressed by Dr. Severn. - Among the passengers by the steamship Geo. W. Elder for this port, we find the names of Gen. Adair and wife, Miss Adair, John Adair, S. B. Adair, R. D. Hume, A. S. Aberncthy and wife, D. B. Foster. We are in formed that Mr. C. Lienenweber is also a passenger. The list is a long one, and possibly other Astorians are -un-board whose names do not appear., I Hon. .T. F. Caples. The Oregon city Enterprise says : Among the most ardent, and perse vering workers to find a solution to the mysterious murder of Mrs. Hager, is our eminent district attorne' the Hon. J. F. Caples. Through the storm that raged on Sunday last he drove from Portland to this city, mak ing inquiries at every step, not allow ing a stone unturned that could af ford the faintest clue. On Tuesday evening he asrain came here working hard with the sheriff on what informa tion is already collected. Mr. Caples remained in town until this morning when lie will conduct the trial of Jo seph Groeder on behalf of the state. The community can rest satisfied that while the case is in the hands of so persevering, and indefatigable a geittle man, that justice will be done in the premises. In connection with cases of this kind, we would state that the distinguished gentleman is irrevocably against extending the faintest-leniency towards convicted prisoners of any grade; more particularly for murder, justly believing that such weakness has an opposite effect on the criminal classes. The Standard says the Wide West made the run from Portland to the Cascades recently, in three hours and forty-three minutes, with four landings. She accomplished this under a " cut off" on her engines, .and was not worked at full stroke during the run except in backing in making her land ings. We have seen specimens of coal from the Aberncthy Klines at Oak point. Br. Aug. C. Kinney says it stands the test very well indeed. The vein is nine feet in thickness, and only two and one-half miles from the Co lumbia river. George Abernethv went below on the Oregon to try and make arracgements for opening the mine. At the annual school meeting in this district last evening there was a very large attendance. Capt. Geo. Flavel was almost unanimously re elected -director for the ensuing term of three years. Capt. Hustler was also reelected clerk. A tax of five mills waG levied on the assessable valuation of property in the district for school purposes. CoL Geo. Hunter proprietor of Grange city, on the Snake river, in forms Mr. llobert Carruthers of this city, that he has a quantity of wheat ready for shipment "to Astoria direct.' This wheat was raised in Columbia county, W. T. He says that farmers, win) have straw and feed ior their stock will not lose by the freeze up and snows, but that thousands of heads in large herds, whose owners never think of putting up feed for them, will be lost, unices the grass starts early. - . The new state house just com pleted at Lansing, Michigan, cost 1,505,000, and the plan shows that the structure isn't much larger thau the new capitol of Oregon, which will cost less than one-third this amount; strange to say, no charge of a steal is made by the. people. The fact is, the Oregon state capitol building will be the cheapest building for the purpose contemplated of -any in the United States, and our steal howlers can have no possible pretext for making capital out of it on tlie score of the lack of frugal and economical judgment dis played in its erection. A citizen of Knappa was nmving last week, and wanting to haul consid erable of a load yoked two young men and a steer up together and hitched them to a sled. They got along first rate, and made a full team jto all in tents and purposes, but the steer buck ed, and that made pulling a little harder on the balance of the team. This reminds us oj Lish Applegate's experience at breaking a steer in the early days of Oregon. Lish was yoked up with the steer and tho steer ran off. With his legs Hying behind him like drum sticks Lish kept up with the steer as the pair of them broke down the lane at a tearing rate. Meeting a friend Lish sung out to him: 4'Stop us! stop us!! we are running away!!!" They were stopped, and the boys be gan to unyoke Lish, when he turned around panting and iranlorinrr Rairt- "Unyoke the other ox first; PU stand." Bugrjjy Riding.

The fame of that district of country is extending and the result is that it is fast becoming the garden spot of western Washington. One signal advantage this valley possesses over many others is that it has no summer overflow. The Chehalis flows from the coast range of mountains, which are covered with comparatively a small amount of snow. The rivers flowing from the Cascades are subject to midsummer freshets which some times destroy crops. T.he 3roung man Fenton, re cently .shot at Sheridan, is hardly expected to live. Talking1 about he narrow jraiure railroad to Lebanon and Brownsville, the Register says: As Albany possesses ample water power facilities, here is where a large portion of the wheat ought to come; and every bushel of I wheat that comes here ought to be converted into Hour before it is sent off to the markets of the world. This would save- profit enough in one year to build two such roads. ASTORIA FIRE DEPARTMENT. C. J. TRENCHARD Chief Engineer FREW IS. FERCHEN 1st Asst Engineer BOARD OF DELEGATES.
