Hapgood fc Co. cerniuj: bills. civo notice con- A six foot vein of coal has been discovered a few miles north of Cath-laniit. Meeting this afternoon as usual, at the V. M. C. A. Hall at a quarter to three. Thj State is due here this morn ing. She has 148 cabin passengers. Tiic Columbia sails from here to-morrow. The Salem city council pay three dollars to a teamster to take the en Cinefand hose cart of Capital No. 1 to a fire. The Wide West arrived down at 11:30 yesterday morning, six and a half hours from Portland, and started back at one r. m. The Palmer Dramatic combina tion closed its Portland eugajcment last evening. The troupe ma3r play in Astoria this week. Lost a brown cow three years old, wide projecting horns. Last seen noar John Hobson's residence. Bring her to The Astoriax office and be rewarded. According to a New York dis patch the Oregon and Transcontinental officials say Yillard will call a meeting soon after arriving at Portland, until which timo no statement of the affairs of the company will be made. A squall frcm the south j'ester day morning tore signs and ripped canvass: behind it came a burst of hail and rain that Hooded the streuts and enforced the suspension of all out cbor work. ApriLias been a stormy month so far. Wm. McCormick opens his anti Chinese steam laundry to-morrow. It is an institution that is needed, the work in it will be done by white peo ple exclusively, and it is certainly an en;crpriso that should receive liberal encouragement and patronage. Frogs are plenty in Oregon .City. A few days ago says the Enterprise Con Tmel dug some post holes in the Abernethy bottom. Inside of 48 hours they were almost filled with live frogs that could not get out. One hole had over 300 in it. Geo Dixon has 3old his land and logging outfit on Wcstport slough to his brother Wm. Dixon, for $3,000. and will move to his place on the Clatskanie. He has also rented the Woodard place, on Westport slough, and intends to log them next winter. Mit. Our Steamers. The increasing importance of As toria is in no way better exemplified than by reference to the boats that find business in carrying passengers and freight to and from adjacent points. First on the list come tho ocean fleet, the State of California, Queou of tho Pacific, Oregon and Col umbia, coming and going from here to San Francisco and back with al most the same regularity as a river ferry. They represent a million and a half of capital and are as efficiently conducted as any ocean service of the continent. Next in point of impor tance is tho increased convenience of transportation on the river. We have the Wide West, and Fleetwood, mak ing flying trips between here and Portland, bringing passengers 110 miles in less than seven hours for $2, which is certainly tho cheapest, and we believe the fastest traveling on the coast. Besides theso two swift crafts we have theS. G. Reed, and Mountain Queen, as daily nnil and passenger boats officered by courteous and ex perienced men. Other boats belong ing to the same company find plenty of business at Astoria. Among them are the Ocklahama, Wonder, Ordway, Cooke, and Alice. The boats that are owned in Astoria and vicinity, and represent Astoria enterprise and capital, so to speak, are of special interest. These steam ers arc building up a good trade, a trade which by right belongs hero and which Mill gradually in crease to great proportions. The Gen. Miles, and Gen. Canby are tho property of tho I. S. N Co., the Gar field and Montesano, of the S. B. T. Co. ;thiRlatter company is iboutto build a stern w heeler for the Chehalis and put it on about the 15th of August. The A. B. Fiold, which sailed from hero to Tillamook on her first trip last Tuesday, is another exponent of progress which shall render tributary to Astoria that magnificent btretch of ocean empire lying between the 45th and 48th parallels of north latitude and embracing some of the richest and most attractive portions of the great northwest. Nor must there be omit ted mention of that smaller fleet that almost hourly ruffles the placid bosom of our great river as they puff busily toward tho different waterways of tho county. The Westport, Lilian, Sam, Magnet, Daisy, Relic, Edith, Argo naut, Enterprise and others toot their whistles and are as busy in their way as though they too had ponderous breadth of beam and drew twenty fret of ttater. The latest addition to Astoria's steamer list is the Moun taineer, operated bj John A Devlin at his cannery. Heavy "Weather on Coast. the North. Dr. Aug. C. Kinney has obtained some Beed of tho sugar-beet which will be planted in several locations of this county to test the Bugar producing quality of our soil. If it is successful it is thought there will bo no difficulty in getting the sugar-beet capitalists of California to put up a branch refinery near Astoria. Thus touchingly doth tho Oregon City Enterprise call up the dreamy long age: "On Tuesday night Jack Trem bath caught one chinook salmon. Ten years ago before tho lower Columbia was a network of seines thousands Trero caught here. As it is wo expect to catch forty or fifty moro here be fore tho season is over." Archie Clark, who was shot by Charles Anderson March 29, is steadi ly declining, at St Yincent's hospital "where ho has been sinco the affair oc curred. He is unconscious most of tho time, and irrational; at long inter vals he rallies long enough to recog nize friends. His father is with him constantly. Standard. Mrs. Elizabeth Yaughn died at her residence in this city last evening after extreme suffering of several day's duration. The sad news will be read with sincere regret by a large circle of friends whom the deceased had endeared to her by many neighborly acts of kindness, and who deeply sympathize with her husband and children in their bereavement. On Tuesday evening next tho la dies interested will give a sociable and ice cream festival for tho benefit of the Astoria Y. M. C. A. During tho ovemng vocal and instrumental music will bo introduced, and we understand tho ladies intend to add a novel Jea turo to the entertainment which will be of much interest to the prettiest lady and handsomest gentleman pres ent on the occasion. Mr. McCoy was intending to burn brick on John Hobson's ground tho present season, but will bo pre vented from doing so on account of sickness. There is a good opening for abrickmaker. It is estimated that ono million of brick will be needed in Astoria this season. Some brickmak ers are preparing to burn brick at the mouth of tho Walluski on Youngs river; they have the grounds ready .fee work. Keep the Money at Home. Astoria is flooded with circulars from San Francisco and Portland houses, offering to sell goods of alleged worth at very low prices. It is to the interest of Astorians to patronize Astoria merchants. They advertise in their home paper, they bring trade here, they keep full and attractive stocks of merchandise and should bo given the preference. If, as may sometimes occur, there happen to be an article called for that a grocer, or dry goods merchant, or a hardware dealer or furnishing store may not have, the simple fact of mentioning tho want will result in placing it on the shelves forthwith. We do not write in any petty or provincial spirit, but on tne broad principle tnat you can't build a place up nor make it what it should be by sending else where to get what you want, undor the mistaken idea that you are going to "save" a few cents. This matter of "saving" admits of considerable latitude in the way of definition. If we want a coat, we go to someone in town that makes coats, though wo might get the same article for six bits or a dollar less in Portland, yet if we sent to Portland we would just so far as that one littlo purchase lies, defer the day when our merchant tailors could successfully compete with Port land. In the broader view of tho matter it wouldn't bo economy. That kind of scrimping doesnt build up a town. Tho community is a community of interest, as well as an aggregation of individuals; it must possess a certain amount of coherence in order to amount to anything, and just a3 long as our people buy cheap John goods from peddlers and send to Portland or San Francisco for every little thing they require, just so much they tend to keep Astoria from tho growth and prosperity that awaits her. If you want to buy a spool of thread, or dress goods our stores will sell you a spool of thread, or a web of lace, a cloak, or a piece of dress goods with a great deal moro satisfaction to yourself than tho Portland merchant who offers meretricious wares; if you want to build a house, the Astoria carpen ters and painters will give you good work and when they get your money it will be kept here and invested and taxed and made to yield yon increased facilities next year; if you want a dres3 made, our Astoria dressmakers are turning out as fashionable work and as stylish fits as Portland; thero is no actual need to send away, and any one who has two cents worth of interest in the place would rather patronize an Astorian than not, unless the difference in price aud quality is I too plainly in favor of other places, a combination of circumstances that in nine esses out of ten does not exist. "That blow yesterday was some thing heavy" said the man with a black coat and glazed cap. "Yes, and it rained heavy while it did rain" said the heavy man. "Pshaw, that wasn't rain! that wis just a mist liko. If you want to see rain you should have been with me in 75." "Would you replenish your glass and tell us the details!" asked the heavy man, politely. "It was m tho winter of 75" said the other, stirring his glass reflectively. "I'd heed there was n good deal of timber in them sections, and I was kfen to get it. So me and my son took a steamer and went up on the northern coast, where no white man had ever been before. As soon as we landed we knowed we had struck it rich. Gentlemen, there was millions of acres, all cut and ready for the market." "Might I inquire who cut it! inter rogated the heavy man, solemnly. "You say no whiteman had ever beeu thero." " "The polar bears had gnawed it off searching'for honey!" replied he of the glazed cap, cilinly. "Go on with your thunder shower." "Well, as I was telling yon, we started right in, and in three weeks we were richer than any eight men in the states. There was no end to the luck! Everything went our way from the start. Wo had all the logs down on the dock and were only waiting for the boat to come and tako us off, when I see clouds making to the south'ard and I knowed it was going to settle ia for thick weather. I told my son to look out, and iu less than half an hour there broke tho doggondest storm I ever see. Rain! Why, gentlemen, it rained so hard into the muzzle of my gun that it busted the denied thing at the breech! Yes, sir! And the water began to rise on -us, too. .Talk about your floods! Why, gentlemen, the water rose so rapidly in our house that it flowed up the chimney and stroamed 300 feet up in the air! We got it both wayj that trip, up and donn." "Do we understand that you are relating facts within tho scope of your own experience?" demanded the heavy man, with his mouth wide open. "Partially mine and partially my sonV answered tho unabashed wearer of the glsized cap. "Ho watched it go up and I watched it come down! But you can get some idea of how it rained when I tell you that wo put out a bar rel without any heads into it, and it rained into the bunghole of that bar rel faster than it could run out at both ends!" "Which of you saw that?" inquired a listener. "We each watched an end, my son and me. I am telling you about a storm now, gentlemen. But the worst of all was the lightning. It wasn't in streaks, it just stood still in one flash, and when it got through, you should have taken a look at that timber! That timber was chopped in to tho finest saw-dust yon ever got your eyes on! Fine as snuff! Wasn't a stick left half an inch long! You never saw anything like it! There was over $12,000,000 gone! Wo thought wo might save the saw-dust to mix paints with and save a couple o' million out of the wreck, but while wo was thinking that over, tho wind sprang up, and then thero was music! I've seen some wind in my time, but no such wind as that ever blowed be fore or anywhere else! Well you can get an imperfect notion of how that wind blew, when I tell you that it blowed that saw-dust right back into its former shape, and when that storm passed off, thero stood them trees just where they stood before the bees got after them."
