(3) ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY rr.... AUGUST 21, 18S3 Council meeting to-night. Regular communication of Tem ple Lodge No. 7, F. and A. M. this orcninir. It is thought that Thursday will soo the completion of the Northern Pacific railway. :Chas. Heilborn, county treasurer, Stves notice concerning the payment uf county orders. The A. B. Field goes to Tilla mook this morning. The Mile goes to-morrow morning. A Fine Instrument. Several Astorians go to Portland to-day to hear Henry Ward Ueecher, who lectures there this evening. Chas. Whitehead, for some time city editor of the Portland Kevc, is now editing the Press at Santa Bar bara, Cal. The Y. M. C. A. excursion to Young's River falls will leave on the Clara Parker at half past eight to morrow morning. On last Tuesday evening, the one thing needful to fill out the pro gramme of the dedication of the Odd Fellows' Temple, was the organ which had been ordered from Boston, and whose lich tones were to have first been heard in conjunction with- the vocal music furnished by tho Astoria Musical society on that occasion. It had arrived the evening before, but had gone on up to Portland. Yester day it reached its final destination, and is now "at home." It is thought to be the equal of any instrument of its class, and when the brethren of the mystic links get B-rac one to bring out the music that lies in its manifold stops and valves, and pipes and swells, all listeners ill have an opportunity to decide for themselves; the instrument is from the George Woods Co.; the list price is 81,200; the freight charges were $03, and though expensive, yet a poorer in strument would not harmonize with the elegant Guinea of the hall in which it is placed. The treasury department has de- j cided that certificates of registry can- j not be issued to vessels of less than five tons burthen. Capt. Babbidge, of the A. II. Field reports the salmon run starting in well at Tillamook. The lJobson ville cannery began work j'esterday. The amount of street work done this season, and remaining to be done is considerable, but no more than the growing demands of the city re quire. The Victoria which left Portland some time last week, got down to As toria yesterda', drawing about eleven feet, and after taking on a cargo went to sea. Report Of Ship Stliucie.

J.J1080 tmsties wnicn cover a quarter of an acre just north of the oil factory should be cut down or de stroyed, or the whole country will be covered with them next year. They are tho genuine Canada thistle and are a most obnoxious pest.

Tho now postal notes for the transmission of small sums of money are now being prepared by the Homer Lee Bank Note company of New York. They will be ready for delivery to postmasters about the first of Septem ber. The notes are in shape nearly like bank notes. They will circulate as currancy, and be very handy for paying small bills by mail. By a recent order from Internal Revenue Commissioner Evans at tho National Capital, the revenue office in Washington Territory is consoli dated with that of Oregon, to be known as the District of Oregon. Major J. R, Hayden, Collector in the office to be abolished, retires to pri rate life, and Captain J. C. Cart wriirht is retained as Collector of the consolidated divisions. The consoli dation order is to go into effect on the 1st of next month. In tho circuit court yesterday the case of the Btato vs. Jos.

They are hard working, fru gal and industrious; they intend work ing on the river as opportunity affords at salmon fishing, logging, etc., and will in time have comfortable homes in one of the finest sections of coun try xa the world. There is abundant room and welcome for more of that kind. Just Rcceired. At the is cw lork .Novelty Store a Inst consignment of The West Shore for jujjjwiui local illustrations. Price as Report of ihc Henry Vilhtrd, Captain Baker, at Liverpool, July 22d Left Columbia March 25th. Crossed the equator in the Pacific April 17th. Passed Cape Horn May 23d, and crossed tho equator m the Atlantic June 25th. Had moderate and fine weather most of the passage of 120 days. On April 11th, Peter Sleiven, a native of Ireland, died of consumption, and was buried at sea. At C o'clock last Sundav evening the first through mail from tho east over the Northern Pacific road was received at the postofiice. Letters were received by this mail bearing tho postmark, "New York, Aug. 10, G r. ' thus having been but nine days on the road. By the same courier came the Kansas City Journal of the 13th inst., six days from Denver. This is an event in the history of tho Northwest, and deserves to be re corded in the annals of the state. Portland New. On the same day at Astoria, were received New York papers of the 11th inst., but eight days on the road, a customary occurrence. The result of the work on the Coquillo river may bo taken as an il lustration of what the same kind of procedure would do for the Columbia river bar. Two years ago a dyko was begun at the mouth of tho Coquillo, and though not yet completed, tho channel has been diverted and straightened, and its depth aim est doubled. That a like result would be produced by the work recommended by the visiting engineers at the mouth of the Columbia, is the opinion of several whose attention has been directed to the matter. Capt. Pow ell favor3 the work, and is sanguine of success. Imported Fruits and Vegetables. A complaint made by The Asto biak to the effect that vegetables in great quantities are imported to Ore gon from California is taken up by a morning paper published in this city and tho admission iB made that the same rule holds good so far as Wash ington Territory is concerned. We take occasion to remind -our contem poraries that such will be tho case to a certain extent, for all time. In tho course of two years, Southern Oregon, if the right kind of people turn their attention to truck raising, will cut into the early vegetable trade of Cali fornia; at the end of three years, or when the Cascade division of the N. P. R. R. is completed, the warm, sheltered valleys and southern hill slopes of Eastern Washington will send us spring "garden sass' m ad vance of our own productions, but for all that California will supply a por tion of the early vegetables and much of the early fruit consumed in this seetiou just as surely as the truck gardens of the southern states sup ply the markets of New York, Bos ton, Philadelphia and other northern cities. There is nothing particularly dis heartening or discouraging in this out look. These things come relatively high, but we must havo them. It is only when we sit down and calmly contemplate the possibility of being compelled j'ear after year to rely upon California or Southern Oregon or Eastern Washington for those fruits, berries and vegetables which can be produced here that wo feel like accus ing our people of shiftlessness. Re ferring for a moment to Astoria, we remember that about four years ago we were in that vicinity and while wandering about the country we happened upon a truck i garden on Clatsop spit. A hard work ing man had set himself industriously and intelligently to work to raise veg etables, and had accomplished enough to show that the beaver dam lands and sandy loams of that region aro just as well adapted to the production of summer, fall and winter vegetables as any lands in any climate. If As toria is compelled to import its winter cabbage, its celery, its beets, turnips, rutabagas, parsnips, carrots, onions, salsify and other roots, it is the fault of the people who own land in Clatsop county, and noc the fault of the sou or climate. Seattle Herald. We republish the above as addi tional testimony to what wo havo al ways maintained; that to buy what our own country can raise, is poor economy. Peaches, and some other fruits, must be bought if wo of As toria waut them, but to send nway hundreds of thousands of dollars every year for what can be raised in finer quality right at home, is a good deal like standing on oue's head to take drink a clever trick, but hard on the performer. C. H. COOPER, GENERAL MERCHANDISE. The THE IX Leading Dry L Goods Positive and AUCTION P Dry Ms, Glotlii -The Portland Neic has assumed the folio form, and takes occasion to announce its prosperity and harmony. In its editorial it discards a good deal ot its lormer bombast, ami talks very sensibly about matters and things. One of its utterances we indorse by quoting it: "A daily paper is a pub lie servant or it is nothing, and those who set up the business of serving the public with a daily paper understand, if they know their business, that, re buffs, sneers, false statements, perso cutions and curse3 always g along with a conscientious performance of duty in tin public interest. It is part ol the business, anil when one prapares for it there is nothing so very appalling about it." The scarcity and consequent high price oi beet m this state, as well as Washington territory, still continues much to the hardship of the family of the man whose means and income -aro limited. We are told, says tho Stan dard, that local buyers find it ex tremely difficult to obtain a supply and most of our butchers are of the opinion that once the summer is past the prise of beef cattle will be materi ally advanced. Cattle buyers for tho eastern markets are not only gleaning the pasture fields of Washington tcr ritory and this state, but they bonding the "rising generation" of cattle, so that the prospect for a lo cal supply is getting rather slim. Just where the future meat supply for this section of country is coming from iB not apparent. lies. A Parrot, with gray back and scarlet breast, on last Friday. Iteturn to 1). A. Mcintosh's, in Occident block. An Embarrassed Tailor. Orders have been issued from the headquarters of the Northern Pacific railroad to the effect that all em pi 0308 on trains and at stations over the line must appear in uniforms. A tailor is now going over the road taking measurements of the employes for their new suits, who in order to expe- diate matters sends the following dts patch to all agents: 'lake oil everything but your pants and shirt, and be on platform when tram arrives, to be measured for uniform. Arriving at one of the new stations, he jumped from the train, tape line in hand, and shouted for the agent, in response to his call a handsome young lady stepped forward, accompanied by a burly six-footer, who announced that tho lady was the agent and he was her brother, and demanded an ex pi an ation of his dispatch. The tailor ex plained as best he could, and board ing the train telegraphed the general agent from the next station: "Ho w many agents have von got that don't wear shirts and pants, ana where are thev located Answer ouick.
