In 1882 Washington produced

modification on former prices.
Officers of tho Yaquina Bay rail

One hundred and twenty-five

nance in the rafters above. Tho
scenery is pretty and was warmly
praised. The stage was set last evening

fair performance, which will be re
peated this evening with su alleged
change of programme.

1819, and for many years was an

markable man. He was a native of
Ayer, Scotland, aged 81 years, aud
leaves behind him grand and great
grand-children. 3frs. Dr. Trenchard,
and old and respected resident of As
toria, h a daughter of the venerable
gentleman who was here when this
was a wilderness years and years ago.

By agreement of all the mill men
on tho Sound a uniform schedule of
retail rates for lumber has been
adopted; the charge per thousand feet
being the same at Tacoma, there, Port
Townsend, Utsalady or wherever else
tho buyer gives his order. Prices
range from $12.50 to $15, SIC, $18
and $20, according to quality.
Tho Shoalwater Bay Transporta
tion company will soon begin a now
steamer to-ply on tho waters of Gray's
harbor and tho Chehalis. It will be a
stern wheeler, will be built at Astoria,
will cost about $10,000. and will be
begun about the 1st prox. The in
creasing business of this company
calls for additional facilities, and this
is meant to supply present need?.
Commencing on the 14th inst.
the Shoalwater Bay Transportation
company's steamers will carry mail to
Montesauo and Olympia once a week,
taking on extra Saturday mail. The
mail and passengers that leave Asto
ria by this route get to Montesauo tho
following day, and go through to
Olympia in sixty hours. This line
helps Astoria, and Astorians should
throw all their influence in its favor.
The military telegraph lino be
tween here and Fort Stevens will soon
bo in working order, when instanta
neous communication may be had rel
ative to that water front property
bonded in that vicinity. J. N. Grif
fin, will be tho Astoria operator he
has a nicely fitted up office in tho
Pythian building. Jas. McDonagh
will be the operator at Fort StevenB.
A branch line runs to Clatsop, and
will be in charge of a son of Judge
McGuiro.
The Grant County ITcics advises
people not to undertake farming in
that region, because, as it sarcasti
cally remarks, it ie claimed that thero
is no market, and that hay will only
onng s-u per ton, ana wheat $ss per
Dusnei, oats ana oaney .to cts. per
pound, hams and bacon 25 and 23
cts. (much of which is brought from
California "because there is no
market"), butter from 50 to G2i cts.,
cheese 25 cts. and vegetables 2 cts.
Verily the farmer must starve, and the
thousands of fertile acres the govern
ment is willing to give awa' remain
with their virgin soil unturned.
Cannerymen will do well to exam
ine Carl Adler's full stock of books and
stationery. Every thing you need you
will find there at lowest prices.
Plenty of Room.
On the last steamer came the
usual installment of inquiring letters
from people living iu the eastern and
Mississippi valley states, bHt who con
template coming out hero. Some of
them, from tho way they write would
do well, others would not. One
young man who writes from West
Virginia says he wants to make a homo
and amount to something. Another
in Jacksonville, 111., wants to know
what clerk's wages are. For the first
kind there is plenty of room; tho man
who wants to come out here and drop
into a soft job had better stay where
he is. A man who conies here to wurk
and make a home will find plenty to
do, if he be not fastidious, and show
a willingness to pitch in, but he
mnsn't be -afraid of getting his hands
dirty; he can go aa cook to a logging
camp and get $50 a month and his
grub, or if he can stand the work, as a
chopper at $80 or $90 a month, or if
he has tho knowledge, as a teamster at
$10') or $125 a month. Ho can de
velop his chest and appetite and by
keeping a sharp lookout can get 1G0
acres of timber land for $450 or $500
that will bo worth $20,000 in three
year's time. If he bo a mechanic he
will havo no difficulty in getting
plenty of work in tho first town he
strikes. Astoria can furnish employ
ment to-day to overy one here and
plenty more who are willing to earn
money and buy what they need w ith
it. If the young man from West
Virginia is single, wo should advise
him to get his traps together
and 6tart at once. If he is married,
or has anyone depending on him for
support, let him go slow, aud not
think of coming to Oregon unless ho
has some ready money to support
him for some time after getting here.
If he has nothing but his labor tn sell
ho will find a ready market, but should
he be able to look around a little, if
he has money to invest, no section of
fers superior inducements than the
northwest of '83. But after all, it
depends upon himself. Wherever he
goes he will take himself along; if he
is willing and persistent, if he wants
to work aud doesn't got tired too
soon, he will do well and mako money;
if he is temperate and saving he will
accumulate coin, and we will elect him
Mayor or Councilman in 1888, and if
he has any special gift or talent wheth
er of nature or education he can use
it to good advantage, and amount to
something out here. But if he lives
by his wits he must have sharp tools
and even then will be likely to run
against the police fo-ce.
There is room for the young man
from West Virginia unless he be one
of the kind who thinks the world owes
him a living. If that be his motto
let him get the community where he
now is to cancel the debt.

The sale of Syrun of Fies is sim

immense. Everyone is takincit, and all
admit that it is the best medicine ever
used. Children cry for it ou account of
its pleasant taste, and grown up eople
who have used it once never take any
thing else. Unlike other remedies for
biliousness and constipation it never
loses its power to act, and it always
leaves the organs on which it acts
stronger than before. Besides one feels
