Peter Mortimer, in Crook county, last week attempted to draw a rifle out of a wagon with the muzzle toward him. The funeral was largely attended. The timber experts who started hitherward from Forest Grove some timo ago were reported at Vesper last Saturday, and will probably reach here this week. Any deserving young man who contemplates going to a business col lego will be given an order for thirty dollars on a Portland scholarship by applying at this office. It is reported that the "Whims" combination has gone to nieces in Portland. It was the tact and general capacity of Raymond Holmes that hold it together so longr. Indications of rain are not want ing. A genuine, old-fashioned down pour would be most welcome, nnd wauld enable one to sleep o'nights without keeping one ear open for the fire bell. The chronic bolryacher who wrote that article in last Sunday's Mercury, about the Astoria fire, might just as well have signed his name. Anyono that ever heard him whine will recog nize his snarl. Give him an office or a cold potato. He'll take anything. The new crockery store of Jor dan & Bozorth was filling up yester day with new goods and on Thursday the 12th inst., those who want to see something fine in the way of a display of crockery, glass and queensware will have an opportunity at tho new tore, cor. Genevieve and Chenamua streets. At the meeting of the Astoria and Winnemucca railroad yesterday after noon, the following gentlemen were elected, directors: Geo. Flavel, G. W. Hume, C. Leinenweber, J. Q. A. Bowlbj, J. H. D. Gray, W. W. Par ker and A. W. Berry. C. Lein enweber, is president, E. C. Holden, secretary, and I. W. Case, treasurer. . One could hear a Imost anything he wanted yesterday; two companies of infantry from Vancouver were com ing to proclaim martial law; the 0. R. & N. Co., had bought Kinney's can nery; another dispatch had been re ceived by Vill&rd's depositary of se cretT'Oh Front street in Portland, rel ative to the building of the Astoria railroad, and bo on. There is just ab much difference in the material used in job printing as in the material used in building or furnishing a house. We will furnish first class material and do your job -rork at the same price you will pay elsewhere for the same class of work, but the imprint of this office will not be found on third-class work. A comparison' of prices and quality will how that we are right. Dsstructivc Fires. From Joseph KelIo;,ri of Iho eteam-! er Toledo, it is learned that the moat i ! deetrnctivo fires are now rasing in tho ! woods from Kalama, both up and j down tllft fViliinihi a mill itn tha I n., . , Vl - ,T i LOWGnien rmil t;mrllr nwra Air 1 iodine, on the Cowemen, has lost a largo amount of logs, and his camp is totally destroyed. Capt. Smith, who I has a null about fifteen milos up tho Cowlitz, has lost about 200,000 feet f cedar lumber, and the fire is so fierce in the woods that no one dares j to go to see what the damage 13.

He is fortu- nate Gnoilri fei li.ivo iii HiRiirnnpt nf ' e - j p(!r cord on Jus wood. U. L Doublebowcr. iuat below, has lost GOOi cords. and has no lusnrnnce. George ! ueidler, who has an extensive log ging camn near Oak Point, will lw a j very heavy lopr, it being renorted that already hia loss is SI 00,000. He has lately built about six miles of rail road and made other extensive im provements, h11 of which it is thought will be a total loss. The fire rages so that no one can make an investigation, t but everything in the woods now will burn till a hard rain puts it out. Never has such a destructive fire been known either in Oregon or Washing ton, but as yet no loss of life is re ported. Loggers will not go in the woods for timber, and a prominent mill man thinks that all mills that have not a large supply of logs will soon have to closo down. Ofttjotilnn. Excursion to Skipanon. The Good Templars excursion to Skipanon last Sunday, was enjoyed by about fifty. Everybody had a good time, and declared it a success. After picnicking the greater part of the day, the Good Templars led by T. J. Alley, met in Skipanon schoolbonse, and instituted a new lodge, to be known as Skipanon lodge, which bids fair to make its mark. After instituting the new lodge the Astorians started home on the Tom Moms. After paying all expenses there was eleven dollars left, which was given to the Orphans' Home. The excursionists arrived home at seven, having spent a pleas ant and profitable day. Section No. 401 Endowment Rank K. of P. will hold a special meeting at Pythian Castle Hall on Wodnesday evening July 11th. imme diately after the close of Astor Lodge. By order of the President Before Judge Fox yesterday af ternoon appeared Chas. 'Anderson, charged with stealing a pistol from the establishment of A. G. Spexarth, and Win. Sheen, who was charged with stealing six dollars from a comrade m a saloon. Both were held to await the action of tho grand ury. Fish were plenty enough for any one and everyone yesterday. One canneriT that couldn't accommodate all it had was selling them for fifty cents apiece. The catch is something extraordinary, and tho indications now are that there will be at least as much as the canncra can dispose of; the regular July run has begun, and the pack of S3 will be fully up to last season's figures. It appears, anys the SUnnlarJ, that the work of driving pilos for the railroad bridge will have to be sus pended after all, if it proves true that quicksand has beon struck on ths Swan Island spit It n reported that yesterday a place had been found where there did not teem to bo any bottom. Three piles one on the top of the other and no solid hold could be obtained. The discovery may causo a change in the location of the bridge or a slight, alteration in the or iginal plan. - 1 he PolarU has changed hands again. It was started m October '81 as a sort of imitation of lhe S. F. Argonaut, minus that journal's vim; it declared ignorance to be "a crime," and ignored the fact that Lee had surrendered at Appomattox in April, 1865. Some time ago Messrs. Slrable and Carlisle bought it, changed its form, and made a spicy readable journal of it. Its present proprietor ship affords a brilliant exemplification of the law of contrast, which, accord ing to Voltaire, is simply "resemb lance with the addition of a negative." Were there not enoush hard! characters already in Portland with- out . " . . having the Astoria vigilantes foist their thieves, gamblers and toughe upon ustOrcrjonian. "The world was all before them where to choose." It was their priv ilege to go wherever their sweet will dictated. Anywhere, out of Astoria. The fact that on the person of one 1 who was thrashed was found a tele gram from Portland saying "tteware! Don't let them get the drop on you," indicates where sympathy was ex pected, and where the' naturally gravitated. There will be a special meeting of Council No.9!5,A.

He spent hi3( money in riotous living, and saw J everything that was going on, and got j full of benzine, and struck all the! gangs of toughs, both malo and female, and his stomach went back on him and he had malaria, and finally he got to be a cow-boy. herding hogs and had to eat husks that the hogs didn't want, and got pretty low down. Then he thought it was a pretty good scheme to be gotting around home, where they had three meals a day, and spring mattressess, and he started home, beating his way on trains, and he didn't know whether the old man would receive him with open arms or pointed boots, but the old man came down to the depot to meet him, and right there before the passengers, and the conductor and brakeman, he wasn't ashamed rf his boy, though he was ragged, and looked as though he had been on the war path, and the old man fell on his neck and wept, and took him homo in a hack and had a veal pot pie for dinner. That's what I call sense. A good many men now a. days would have put the police on the tramp and had him ordered out of town. What, you going to close up the store? Well, I will see you later. I want to talk with you about something that is weighing on my mind," and the boy got out just m lime to save his coat tail from being caught in the door, and when the groceryman came back from breakfast he found a sign in front, "This store is closed till further notice. Shkkikk."- Pcckt Sun. Sad Printer Man. George Swain, who was u ell-known in Portland, as a printer in 1880-81, and in Astoria as an auctioneer dur ing the fishing soason, failing to grow rich or famous at selling Cheap John goods, sticking type or as tho editor of the Courant at Cornelius, in Wash ington county in 1879, or as pabulum provider for the old McMmnville Blade several years earlier, he went to Nebraska with a man named Moss sometime in 1882, and thoro hasjnade a great name for himself if not a -great fortune. He blos somed into a full blown desperado, and has iuat boen arrested, charged with theft, burglary, robbery and murder. With Moas and a gang he wrecked a train, robbed it and then killed the conductor. .He was es caping with Moss when that per son's career as a desperado was cut short by a bullet from a pursuing sheriff's posse, and Swain was only taken after a desperate resistance and after one of tho thief-takers had been killed. Swain is a native of Massachusetts, small iu stature, bald, and wears a long moustache He was somewhat erratic when in Or egon, and so poor a printer that he was known to the craft aa "The Vil lage Blacksmith" while in McMinn- viue. in iojy no snot at a young man in Cornelius, on slight provoca tion, but fortunately missed him. He was a hard drinker and when un der the influence of liquor was pug nacious and insulting. He has prob ably been hanged by thi3 time. The Trice orFish.

I Between 50 and 00 people, says the ' Standard, attracted by the great and j almost impossible feats that wore to be accomplished by this great and only medium, assembled to witness the performance. But, alas, for th e gullibility of human nature; the whole thing turned out to bo a fraud of tho meanest kind, perpetrated hy an oily- tongued bilk, who bears the name of Harry Morton or Morte. He ap peared on the stage to make an excuse for the non-appearance of the ircat Sladeon the steamer. In the mean time his confederate skipped with the coin. A howl of indignation was raised by the crowd present, the ladies iu particular, beiug most anxious to get their tender fingers on .the fraud. Policeman Branch put iu an appear ance and arrested Morton, aud to gether with the duped men and women proceeded en ina?se to police headquarters. Things were very lively there for about an hour, the fair sex generally kicking as lively as could ba wished for. Mrton w:is given an opportunityto go with an officer to hunt up his missing treasurer and refund. His con Tula. tt final y came to the rescue and disgorged the ill-gotten money. The fraud might to go to Astoria and givo otu per formance before the committee of safety. He would probably yet what he deserves down there. Foreign Salmon Shipments .1 tn.Y.
