(3) She -OnEi stortim. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY- JULY 24, 1883 Regular council meeting to-night. Now Tacoiua has two policemen and calls for another. The Oregon arrived in yesterday, the Queen sailed for S. F. at one v. m. Rogers "All Star" Dramatic combination has gene to pieces in Walla Wall. I. S. Kalloch, who killed Chas. De. Young three years ago, is going to locate in Seattle. The Cyrus Wakefield, from San Francisco for Liverpool, took 2,r00 cases salmon on the 14. Great damage has been done by fires on the N. P. R. R. line between Kalama and New Tacoma. The C. Southard Bulbed will probably finish loading to-day, taking on a littlo over 40,000 cases. - - Janauschek will not play hero again, but Dan Castello's circus is coining, so let us not bo cast down. A daughter to the wife of Mr. Morey, of Portland, was born on board the Stonniuht Queen, last Sun day night. No. 2's engine was stationed in front of the Occident yesterday, en gaged in the laudable labor of filling cisterns and tanks throughout the city. T. S. Jewett took charge of the city auditor and clerk's office yester day morning, relieving his deputy L. E. Selig, whose recent arduous duties merit relaxation. Considerable comment is mado on the fact that the talented Miss Willard was refused the use of the Walla Walla court houso by the coun ty commissioners. It is now nearly a week since the rival Portland dailies have demon strated the other's delinquencies in the matter of news and editorials. The heat may have something to do with it. Ruddock & Wheeler, whoso handsome display of globes and gas fixtures is one of the prominent at tractions on Cass street, are now ready to execute all work in their lino and guarantee satisfaction in every case. Under date of the 17th, a New Westminster, B. C, correspondent writes: Salmon are running very light, 30 to the boat, average weight 9 lbs. Weather very warm and the river very low for July and hot weather. A game of baseball was played at Ilwaco on Sunday, July 22d, between the Astoria nine and a nine picked from the Miles and Ilwaco clubs. The scores stood 14 to 12 in favor of Miles and Ilwaco. Scorers, J. C. Darnell and L. A. Allen. Last Sunday the Kalama operator struck, and for a portion of the day we were shut off from all communica tion with the world. Yesterday everything was working harmoniously between here and Portland, but no messages were taken for California and the east. Jas. Williams, of Tanzy Point, is putting in an extensive plant in the salmon canning business at New Tacoma. Ho expects to begin abont August 15th', the run usually lasting from that time till the middle of No vember. About fifty men will bo em ployed in fishing. The Oregon City Courier says that tho editor of tho Willamette Farmer has a pass over all the rail roads of Oregon. From the syec phantish style of other Willamette valley papers it would seem as though other so-called newspapers wore the railroad collar too. A dispatch from Victoria dated the 18th reports. ''The steamer Dolphin is in from the north with 1800 cases of salmon on board. The salmon run at Naas and Skeena was still very indifferent, but-good at Rivers' Inlet, where the fishermen wore catching from 100 to 100 to the boat, and at Alert bay there are more fish than can be canned or salted." In the Pnyallup valley the hop season this year will be early, a good deal earlier than last. All the hops aro now in full bloom, and picking will begin the last week in August. The picking season will last until October first.and may continue longer. From 0,000 to 7,000 Indians, repre sentatives of tho various tribes, will be employed in this year's picking of the Puyallup valley product. A party of young men from Val lejo went to Astoria to engage in the salmon fishery and one of the number has returned to say that the others are out of luok One hns been strung up by tho vigilance committee, another was in jail for arson, others were under arrest for various charges, and the one who escaped had his ticket-of-lt ave in his pocket. Vallejo men are not popular up in the salmon emporium. S. F. Alto. D. A. Mcintosh has received a large stock of Fino Clothing vrhich he calls special attention to. Short Weight. In tho New York American Grocer of tho 14th ult., is the following charge about Sacramento canneries: "A certain brand of Sacramento salmon of the present spring catch has come here of very short weights cans cut down in size very materially; tho difFcrence between last year's pack of same factory and this year's, being 73 ounces in each case of four dozen, or li ounco3 per can. Is 15 ounces of salmon enough for a pound can? Have you heard of any reduc tion in the standard of tho Pacific coast for tho current year Is not the packer who sells light weights for full weights without notice to the buyer, bound to make a pro rata scale in price? The California packer must give his eastern customers a chance to look at his goods before paying for them, if he proposes cutting away his can each succeeding year. And in any case, their method of slight draft on B L is a bad one, and must go, sooner or later." Sol Smith Russell. "Let thosu now laugh who never laughed before, and thoso who always laughed now laugh the more," and that's just the way it was last evening at Occidental Hall with the largo au dience who bubbled with mirth at Russell's inimitable personation of Tom JJilloivay, in "Edgewond Folks." He is a genuine comedian, not coarse or blustering, but with a quiet, innate, 8iiggcstivo humor that pays a compli -ment to the auditor's imagination and indicates tho way tho jest lies. He doe3 not lay all bare, and exhaust the springs of humor, but points out the fun and let3 his audience enjoy it or not as their aptitude exists. The coined' itself doesn't amount to any thing a3 a comedy. It is not so in tended, but as a vehicle for tho dis semination of 2'ujii Dilloiray's views serves an admirable purpose. The company was good throughout, and the performance heartily enjoyed. Tho J'oluris man will not be ap peased. Ilis latest ofiort is to de clare that when the war of the Rebel lion broke out, the "editor of the Astorian ran out of the service." Oh dear, how this world is given to lying. "When the war of the Re bellion broke out." the unfortunate individual who is now the editor of The Astokian, was nine yenra old. What next! --It is related on good authority says the Standard, that Alfred Ander son, after his conviction of murder said to a friend of his that ho would never admit the commission of the murder, but would deny it to the last, because of his parents. He did not want them to ever know the truth of the crime, and if he denied it on tho scaffold thev would always believe him innocent. And he stuck to his vow, to save them all the burden ho could, though he died with a lie on his lips. In the past, an first-class mail matter of weight of four pounds or less has been transported to its desti nation upon the payment of a part of the postage due thereon, providing tho j amount paid was not less than three cents. Hereafter all mail matter must be fully prepaid. Jn case it is not, if the sender's card is upon tho package the matter will bo returned to him for the payment of the unpaid postage. If the sender is not thus indicated notice will be sent to the person to whom the matter is directed to remit tho postage. About nino o'clock yesterday morning, a man whom the present scarcity of water had evidently com pelled to seek a stronger beverage, whilo walking out Wate" street, fell off the edge of the street, about where Ike Foster's place stood. It was low tide, and a dozen persons rushed to tho spot where he had fallen a distance of twenty feet. He scramb led to his feet, walked under the road way till he camo to a convenient place, mounted on tho planks again and went to the spot where he had slipped, and after looking at it intent ly for a minute, askod one of the by standers "WazhermatteiT and swung jovially onward.

Levers of light, sparkling comedy will enjoy a treat Friday and Satur day July 27-28. After a successful engagement of several months at the Baldwin theater, San Francisco, the Leonard Grover Comedy company will visit Astoria and play two nights, commencing Friday, July 27th. "Our Boarding House," is the pieco selected for the first night. On Saturday night the company play "My Son-in-Law," a new play by Leonard Grover, which gives the author and a clever company ample opportunity to show their ability in a peculiar line of eomedy. The play belongs to the order of outrageously funny pieces, of which "Forbidden Fruit" was the first presented in America. It is based upon the perccadilloes of highly respectable and accomplished gentle men in "our best society" who do not always like their wives with them when they go out. It contains a strong-minded woman, a hen-pecked husband, a variety show dancer who apos the laurels of an emotional "tragedy queen" like Rachel, a high ly decorous valet with an illuminated proboscis, a silly wife who falls in love with young men and reads cheap novels, a rich young bachelor with a volunteer crop of "wild oata" en cumbering his matrimonial aspirations and a dancing master who is jealous of his wife. With theso ingredients it is possible to have a great deal of fun, and ours aro just the pcoplo to enjoy it. Reserved seats at J. Strauss & Co. N. Y. Novolty store. School Fund Apportionment. The following is tho apportionment of the state school fund for etch coun ty of Oregon, as mado by the state treasurer, Hon. Ed. Hirsch.

Among the approaching if not the present needs of Astoria is a public library. Astorians constitute a read ing community, as a public enterprise it would be of great and lasting bene fit, as a public convenience it would be at once appreciated and maintain ed, and as an investment it would shortly after its establishment pay a fair rate of interest on the capital. A joint stock company could be formed and about 5,000 books purchased as a starter, the procuring of a suitable room, and the employing of a libra rian could bo accomplished without much exertion. Few cities of over 5,000 people are without one of these adjuncts of civilization, and Astoria can certainly support such an institu tion as we su"est. The Olympia Courier says: "Tho rush to tho land office, here, contin ues unabated. All classes of entries known to the land laws are made, but timber lauds take the lead. It seems as though every individual, possessed of suificient means to pur chase an eighty or a quarter section, had determined to do so ar once. Of course moat of those lands aro soon bought by the mill companies but large tracts are getting into tho hands of eastern speculators, who will realize handsome profits in the near future."
