ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY- JULY W, 18S3 X. Johansen advertises some deairablo property for sale or rent; bod adv. Tho change from three cent io two cent postage does not begin till tho first of next October. The exodus from Portland still continues, and the down steamers have plenty seaside excursionists. A. T. Brakke, a live business man, leaves to-day for Seattle, where he contemplates going into business. The Queen is due to-day; the Eureka took on freight from navel's dock yesterday and sailed for Alaska. The total number cf postoffices in Washington territory has increased from 231 on June 30, 1880, to 293 on May 26, 1833. Tho unusual appearance of hon ey dew on the leaves of fruit trees, and the ground immediately beneath, is noticeable here every morning of late. Tho Silverton Appeal says the Bmoke is thick enough to cut with a knife. Ashes and other burned particles are falling in every direc tion. A match game of base ball was played at North Beach last Sunday by the Ilwaco and Miles club3 result ing in favor of the latter by a score of twelve to six. The British bark Kate F. Troup, Parker master, which arrived at Tictoria June 4th, was towed around to thiB port by the li. Ilolxoke, ar arriving in yesterday afternoon. Asphaltnm has been put on tho sidewalk level of the bricks in the now Kinney building to prevent any moisture from penetrating the courses of brick to be laid above that level. Wo regret to chronicle the death, yesterday afternoon, of the infant son of C. P. and M. L. Upshur. The fu neral wiS take place from the Episco pal church at two o'clock this after noon. The secretary of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association writes us that a public free reading room will soon be opened in Portland. Those who visit there will find Tun Astokiax on file. Playgoers should bear in mind that tho romantic and picturesque comedy drama, "Edgewood Folks," including that famous comedian, Sol Smith Jtussel, will bo given at the Occidental on Monday next. The street committee are particu larly desirous that all citizens should pay due regard to tho condition of tho streets in front of their respective residences. All loose material and rubbish, especially at the edges of sidewalks, should be removed. In Portland last Tuesday night, a fire destroyed a block of buildings on Second street, near C, in which were tho .Richmond and Nicolai hotels and tho Grand stables, a furniture store, cabinet maker's shop, and dwelling house. Loss 100,000; in surance $92,000. The continued drought renders it incumbent upon every citizen to take all due precaution against fire. In this connection it may be mention ed that rubbish on streets and edges of sidewalks should be removed. A very little effort would keep tho streets free from loose material, and thus lessen the chances of fire. The force of this suggestion lies in its personal application on tho part of all who read it. The site and character of the buildings to be rebuilt in the burned area will be in part determined by the building of the O. B. & If. dock, and till such time as that is definitely announced it is impossible to say just what will be done. One thing is cer tain; that the entire surface will be built over as soon as material can be procured. Astoria has not received any "set back" that will at all inter fere with her progress as a city. Fatal Accident. Jbast JLuesaay atternoon a young man named King, employed at Marsh's logging camp on John Day's river, in this county, met with an accident that cost him his life. He was bringing logs down to the shute, and in some way while unlooseing one the hook flew back and struck him in the back of the head, hurling him in front of the descending log which crpshed him to death. Deceased was a sober, industrious man aged about thirty years, and was greatly liked by his fellow workman; he had been cm ployed in the vicinity for nearly four years, and had saved a large sum money. His relatives live in New York. The remains were brought down to tho citv yesterday afternoon and interred. The funeral was largely attended by nearly every employe of Foss's, De laney s ana Marsh, a logging camps, who wish to return thanks to the choir and minister of the Presbyterian church where the services were held, Wanted. JLgood sewing girl to -work at tailor- I TTtinnlra of T T XCt- i Bad Showing. Commenting on the Tuesday fire in Portland, the Standard says: The loss occasionod by the fire consuming tho private property of guests and borders, together with the personal and real property, will reach 150,000. Had the fire department been of ample strength the Ore could have been confined to the furniture shop nnd tho east end of the stable. As it was, under the present high-toned system, only four cnginos wore serviceable at the first call, the other three being '''dead' in the houses. Eleven men formed the company of each engine, and those throwing two streams gave that number all they could do to attend to the engines and ho3e. The water thrown evaporated before it scarcely reached the flame. The firemen worked hard against great odds, and stood up to the heat with great bravery, but they were un able to make their presence felt. The two houses on the west side of Third street were saved in a wrecked con dition by the department, and tho old structures on the east side of Second street which took slow fire by falling embers. The row of buildings on Second street, south of C, which took fire by the same means, wero saved by gentlemen who scaled the roof, nnd while hanging on with one hand pulled off the burning shingles with the other, or whipped out the flames with wet blankets. Had the department been 3trong enough, the Nicolai house and the residences on Third street could have been saved, and without much doubt the Richmond house also. Those who sneered at the old volunteer depart ment saw the difference between it and the present curtailed nnd crippled forces. Everything that the fire could get at on the block was lapped up slick and clean. Had a fire brokon out in another portion of the city at the same time, it would have had to take care of itself. There was a shortage of water in the neighborhood and some of the engines had to shut down nnd move to other places. If this city is to have a. fire department it should be one that, could do some ork. Jt-would bo a difficult mat ter to find a more complete conilagra tion than the one last night, notwith standing tho alleged superiority' of the paid firo department. All Her Money Stolen. 3Irs. Daggcrl, the landlady of a lodging house in Astoria, was a pas senger on the Mountain Queen; arriv ing in this city Monday evening from that place. She had with her 740 in gold, the proceeds of her enter prise which she proposed to pay off certain obligatious in this city, The money for safe keeping was tied up in handkerchief and this wrapped in a black shawl. A close watch was kept upon the little black bundle dis guising, as she thought the wealth within, but as the boat ncarcd the city Mrs. Daggert had occasion to visit her stateroom, and left the bundle lying on a seat in the ladies cabin where it was used asji pillow for the sleeping child of a fellow passenger. On returning to securo tne bundlo the discovery was made that the money had been extracted. The steward Mr. iforan, who was informed of the loss, was unable to fasten the guilt upon anyone, and when the boat landed, the passengers went their sev eral waya unmolested. Mrs. Daggett immediately informed the police of her loss, and detectives have been de tailed to work up the case. As j'ot no clue has been obtained to the wherea bouts of the money. Probably Mrs. Daggert knows now, that it is too late, that sho could have bought a draft on Portland at 1 . W. Case's bank for a nominal fee, and that it is easier to conceal $7-10 in the form of a check than iu bulk. OrcgonUm IS. Salmon Hatcheries- The present season disposes for i time of any great effort toward estab lishing a salmon hatchery on the Co lurabia river. Of course the project is to be looked upon with favor and commended, but in view of tho pres ent status there will bo no oxtraordl nary impulse, on the part of the can- ners at least, to exhibit the necessity for artificial propagation. One gen tleman of largo experience, talking yesterday afternoon of the enormous quantity of salmon now in the river. said: "It is my opinion that every caunery on the river is a hatchery. For several years back I have noticed innumerable numbers of them, no longer than my thumb nail, swimming around between the piles on which tho cannery is built. Some said they were suckers; but I don't think ihoy are, and I'll tell you what makes me think so. This season I had an old skiff that was sunk, Ivinjr under tho piles over since the season begun. A few days ago I thought I'd fix her up, and hauled her ashore, and in that old skiff 1 found half a bucketful of little salmon in all stages from so small that you needed a microscope to distinguish them, up to an inch and a half long, and according to my view of it they are the genuine salmon."

Not This Astoria; S'm'other Astoria, i A Shu reporter, riding in a Third avenue car, overheard this entertain ing dialogue between a ruddy-faoed man, wearing a. clover blossom stuck in his hat band, and Major Bona parte Able of the Stock Exchange sidewalk: "Astoria? Never heard of it before," said the Major. 1 "What! a New Yorker who never! heard of Astoria? How you lose by not knowing Astoria, the queen of New York's suburbs." ! "What is there about your queen ; worth seeing Mr. Astorian?" , " One must boa poet or an artist! to describe Astoria's beauties. As- tori&'s situation is unusually fnrtun- j ate. Standing by the shore, you see Hell Gate, the lunatic asylum, the penitentiary, and other institutions of Blackwell's and Ward's Islands; over the East River you see the buildings of the metropolis. associations arise at such a view! Turning your face toward Astoria, yon notice hero aud there hoHses and j churches half hidden beneath green foliago. When you reach the centre i of Astoria, behold! what a unique scene. There you find, as nowhere ; else, the blending of modern civiliza-; tion with the ways of Arcadia. Here ' is an excellent stone house, the em-' bodiment of modern industry and art, ' and it3 inhabitants keep pace with the world. Almost by its side stands a hut, giving shelter alike to men and domestic animals, happy and self contented, not caring what takes place outside of their fence. As toria enjoys a chorus heard no where else. The whistling of steam ers, the ringing of factory bells, and the pufiing of railroad locomotives are harmoniously blended with the bel lowing of cows, the bleating of goats, tho crowing of roosters, the squealing of pigs, the barking of dogs, the quacking of ducks and geese. Here the man with the cloTer blo- som fell to meditating, as if reproduc ing in his memory the charming chorus he had just described. "There are many other odd features of life in Astoria' ho added pleasant- "I know a Gorman woman, the mother of nineteen children, who has lived in Astoria for forty vears, and ot never saw New York city but once, when she went through it from tho steamer that brought her Irom Hamburg. She is perfectly happy in Astoria. Yet civilization with its im provements and comforts is fast tak ing hold of tho place. Already we have one telegraph wire, a post-office, three horse railroads, which run every half hour, an aqueduct, and in some places gaslight. We are even pav ing a principal street leading from the ferry. A traveling photographer is at present living in Astoria. He came to stay but a fortnight, but he ot lots of work, and so decided to stay a couple of weeks more. His pictures of tho dogs are masterpieces. Once in a while a traveling circus visits our charming town, and then wo have fun. Lately a traveling rope performer visited us, ho stretched hi ropo over a street, and I toll you that ttreet was black with people. I am told tho rope artist collected $2.43 from tho crowd."
