If this is tine, or only partly true. w graving of Capt. Bads' proposed ship
A very annoying and dangerous
thing is the carelessness practiced by
inhabitants along the roadway to
upper town-, of leaving materials on
the road. The roadway is a public
atreet, and is needed entirely for
travel, either on foot or otherwise.
Upon several occasions of late, horses
have became frighteaed, and caused
the lives of occupants of vehicles to
be in danger, entirely from careless
ness. This should be stopped or
somebody punished.
Cook Bros, new steamer, the Argo
naut, Capt. Fred Condon, made her
first trip to Astoria yesterday. On
invitation from Mr. J. W. Cook.quite
a number of our citizens went onboard
and inspected the steamer from stem
to stern, after which the lines were:
cast off and she was headed on a special
trial trip to Tongue point, which
place she reached in nineteen minutes.
Rounding the Tongue she made the
run back to Flavel's wharf in fifteen
minutes, very good time indeed seeing
she had no current, it being slack
high water. Everything on board
seemed to work to perfection, and the
general construction of the Argo
naut is admirably adapted to the
waters in which she is to run, and
to the purposes for which she was
built. She is eighty-five 'feet long and
has eighteen feet beam. With ample
deck room and high bulwarks, she is
capable of carrying a very large num
ber of salmon. She is staunch and
strong as a tug boat, no expense was
epared to make her complete in every
respect. Mr. James Cook informed
vu that -as she lay, she represented in
dollars and cents the neat little sum
f twelve thousand five hundred dol
lars. Success to the Argonaut and
her enterprising owners.

And the man who would Jo otherwise
ought to be driven out of society, and
spurned with contempt by every

The committee appointed at the
meeting of the warehousemen in the
city at Porland, to inquire into the
amount of wheat on hand m western
Oregon, reported that there was in
round numbers 82,000 tons. This re

convention at Salem and rejected, as
it was believed to be incorrect, and on
motion it was moved that a committee
of three from each county should be
appointed who were to report the

During our flying trip on the

noticed with much interest and satis
faction the numerous and extensive
improvements and additions which
have been made at and above upper
Astoria recently. Among the most
important we note the new canneries
of S. D. Adair & Co., C. Timraons &
Co., and the Occident Packing com
pany, all of which have been added to
the list of Astoria canneries since last
fishing season. We also observed that
the Astoria Box and Lumber Manu
facturing company have their buildings
nearly completed and with steam up
were busily at work manufacturing
boxes.

At the last terra of the Circuit,
court for Multnomah cynnty Judge
Stott decided that in cases where
plaintiffs insue attachments or garnish
ment process, if they are unsuccessful
in finding money or property, they
must theuiEelves pay the costs inci
dtnt to the proceedings and cannot
tax the same against defendants. It
has been the custom of plaintiffs, es
pecially in justice's courts, if unsuc
cessful in the first garnishee process to
follow out the old maxim, "if at last
you do not succeed try, try again,"'
when finally they caught a few dollars,
the amount collected has been first
applied on the costs of the previous
unsuccessful attachments and garnish
ments, if any was left over, it went to
pay the original judgment. Accord
ing to the late decision of Judge Stett,
if a garnishee aaswers that he has no
property, the plaintiff and not the de
fendant must pay the costs of the at
tachment and the defendant is not in
any way liahle.
