ASTORIA, OREGON:
"WEDNESDAY AUGUST 22. 1883
Tho Miles starts
this morning.
for Tillamook
East Portland is going to buy a
$3,000 Silsby steam fire engine.
F. D. Winton has been appointed
notary public for Clatsop county.
E. C. Holden advertises a sale

A Washington Territory pioneer
association is about to be organized
with headquarters at Olympia.
Henry Yillard has telegraphed
to" the Seattleites that lie would
be with them on the loth of Sep

posed upon those caught violating the
law in regard to fishing on the Sacra
mento out of season.
The Oregonian hears that the
steamer Lurline is to be taken to
Puget Sound this fall, to remain
permanently in those waters.
Information comes that tho San
Francisco board of underwriters have
officially removed tho restriction
against tho Roseuburg lacquer.
The Clara Parker brought down
the schooner Maid of Orleans last
evening. Sho brought in a cargo of
redwood, and leaves loadad with
deals.
Geo. D. Smith: Your brother
recently died at Lathrop, Missouri,
and left you some property. Write
to Kearney, Missouri, and be en
riched. The annual excursion and picnic
of the Y. M. C. A., takes place to
day. The picnic will be at Young's
River falls. Tho Clara Father will
leave at half past eight this morning.
On her first trip from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, the now steamer
Mariposa made the run in five days,
twenty hours and thirty minutes.
The distance is 2,082 miles, and the
speed between the two ports is unpar
alleled. The editor of the Columbia
Chronicle keeps a lot of newspapers on
hand containing an account of the
lynching of McPherson, to send to
those writing for a copy of his paper,
from which to learn "the advantages
of the country."
About half past ten yesterday
morning, a man was found lying at
the corner of Chenamus and Cass
street, and, it being impossible to get
him into a perpendicular position four
men carried him to the city jail. He
was dead drunk.
Wo think tho daily papers do not
servo any good purpose by hiding the
fact that tho channel from Portland to
the sea is almost impracticable for
commerce, and that unless something
is done to tear away the bars Portland
win De as mucn an lniana town as
Salem. Welcome.
ino irortiana newspapers are
commenting on the peculiar carb
that seems to be coining into fashion
among tho ladies; from one extreme
to the other in the matter of skirts
does seem to be the rule, but no one
objects to it. Variety is the spice of
life, and of dress.
Kinney'a new brick busineis
building, and Carruthers brick resi
dence are going ahead, the former be
ing almost completed. The brick
makers of Messrs. Pugh fc Co.,
struck for higher wages last week, but
the work of making brick is but tem
porarily delayed. Next season will
see several brick buildings in As
toria. Yesterday morning a twelve-year
old son of L. Hartwig while examin
ing a revolver, sustained a painful
wound, the revolver discharging a
bullet into the palm of his left hand.
The little afellow displayed great
courage, and without saying anything
to any one, wont to a physician's office
and had the ball which, had lodged in
the muscles of the back of the hand,
extracted;
A good deal has been written
concerning the mortgage tax law.
The general expression of opinion is
that tho law should stand, that there
is no difference between a note and a
mortgage as an evidence of indebted
ness, and that as notes have always
been taxed at their face value eo
ahould mortgages. A like unanimity
of opinion exists as to the arbitrary
valuation of land, though no remedy
ii auggested to obviate what is doubt
less an existing evil.
To Tlie Public.
1 wish to give notice that my connec
tion with the Parker House is this day
severed, and 1 have nothing more to do
with the hotel. A.Assi:i.r..

Girls Wanted.
Among those who should come to
this Northwest aro girls capablo and
willing to do housework. At this office
mere is an almost constant inquiry i
like this:
"Can you tell me whore 1 can find
a girl to do housework?"
And we cannot. It is probable that
one hundred girls, capable and effi
cient, could find places just now in this
city.
The men folks are getting anxious
to have near a bright, chatty, cozy-
looking girl in the kitchen and about !
the house generally, for more reasons j
than one, the chief being that the sea- j
son is coming apace when the early S
morni:ig3 will be chilly, and a fellow j
doesn't like to bounce out of bed at 5
o'clock and make a lire. A man
would a good deal rather lie cuddled
up in half a dozen blankets until the
tea kettle begins to sing the breakfast
reveille. There is no better time than
the early morning hours to lie quiet
and concoct schemes for getting ahead
of your fellowmen. At this hour con
science liai not fully awakened, and
one feels particularly elated.
The lady who last inquired for a
servant girl snys that she is willing to
give a girl a fair show if she will come
along. She says her husband shall
light the lire with a very pronounced
emphasis on ho "shall" that bodes
dire calamity to that rooster if he
dares to whine. She says the girl can
have her choice of all the dresses in
the wardrobe, each Sunday out, two
other evenings of the week, the run of
tho parlor and the latest music.
When the minstrels come along the
girl shall have a front pew, with choco
late caramels thrown in. it it is a
box, then a box goes. If the girl will
do the work, and let the lady have
her husband, she can command a fair
salary and any number of favors.
Candidly, we know of no place this
side of the Now Jerusalem where a
hired girl can be so completely happy
in all her surroundings as here in
Portland. She has little work, plenty
to eat, a good salary and nineteen
chances in every possible twenty
of being struck by Cupid light
ning before she has closed the first
fiscal year in service Standard.
Here, too.
The Water Works.
By main strength 18S2 pieces of
pipe have been dragged up from the
bottom of the river beneath tho O. R.
it N. dock, and conveyed to Tongue
Point, there lo bo doctored iuto some
thing like what they orginally were.
Pipe-laying goes on at the rate of eight
hundred feet a day, and the line now
extonds to within a short distance of
tho Scandinavian Packing company's
building.
The St. Luck will drop into Kin-
ney's wharf to-day and begin unload
ing. She has 24G tons of pipe on top;
principally four-inch and two-inch
mains, and this pipe, as soon as possi
ble, will be laid through the streets of
the city.
Tho Spanish Students, of whom
so many favorable notices have ap
peared, will give an entertainment
in Occidental Hall next Friday even
ing. The circuit court was yesterday
engaged in hearing a, case wherein
Mollie Moran and Mamie Hart were
charged with larceny from the person
of A. J. Welch. The case was given
to the jury at four o'clock; at the
hour of going to press they were still
out.
The run of salmon has commenc
ed in tho bay and now the fishermen
go for them nightly; but thus far the
boats have not averaged a catch of
more than about six each per night.
Tho best haul reported to us was mado
by Samuel Anderson last Thursday
night, when he caught ten large
salmon and two sturgeon, weighing
respectively about 25 and T0 pounds.
Tho salmon taken at present are ex
cellent and of large size, and the mar
ket is well supplied at the usual rates.
List week Anderson quartered some
of his large fish and sold tho pieces at
25 cents each. Coast Mail, (Coos Bay.)
The man that falls in a fit and
after cominc to, asks four bits from
tho bystanders, is in the city. He
will bo followed by the individual who
buys two bits worth of soap, wraps it
in pink tisme paper, gets some en
velopes with blank tickets in them
and sells the two bits worth of soap
for $17.50. After him will come the
man on tho steamer who was robbed,
and wants to get back to some of tho
cow counties where his lriends would
take care of him. Then will appear
the woman that lost her husband in
the summer of '79 and is steadily de
clining superior inducements in tho
hope of finding James and proving
that love lasts as long as lifo itself.
About the same time the tailor who
gives such splendid fits heaves in
sight and wants your measure, and af
ter him comes the man who has a
brother or a sister or a cousin aick in
Portland and won't the O. R. & N.
Uo., please give nun a pass.

i welcome wun special granncauon
this opportunity of manifesting my
high regard and admiration for the j
man to whose initiative the creation
of the Northern Pacific railroad is
mainly due, and without whose ener

1 expect to be able to tender you j
tho privilege of a private car, and will

My Dear Sir: Your most kind
letter inviting me to join in tho ex
cursion proposed, upon tho complet
ion of the Northern Pacific road has
been sont me here. For your perso
nal reference to mysolf and the recog
nition of my past services iu this great
enterprise, I cordially thank you.
My faith in the Northern Pacific Co.
has never faltered, and I have rejoiced
in yonr success and have admired your
pluck ana energy.
Jf possible, 1 wilt accept your invi
tation; and as soon as 1 hear further
from you as to the time of starting,
will, if possible, put aside other plans
and engagements and go on the trip,
and will notify you.
Sincerely, yours, Jay Cooke.
A Decision In Pavor of Poor Men.
Mr. Uharlea UaviB "proor tor a
homestead, 12 miles from town, has
been rejected by the geneneral land
office not on account of internal de
ficiency, for many aro gaining titles to
government land on weaker showing
of residence and improvement, but be
cause it was held that, being a man of
mams, he has no sufficient excuse for
not remaining most of tho time on his
claim and so improving it as to fully
manifest an intent to make a permn
nent home. Those young men of the
city who have little means, and who
are holding claims by periodical visits
at such times as they can pass away
from their employment and who are
unable to pay for more extensive im
provements than a small cabin, and :
few acres for plowing, would seem to
have iu this decision uo cause for
alarm, if they are proceeding in good
faith. However, the decision in Mr.
Davis' caso is unique, in that seldom
if ever before has the department
mado distinction between rich and
poor in the matter of homestead rear
donee and improvement. Most every
one hereabouts is familiar with in
stances of homestead proof accepted
from persona in good circumstances
whoso evidences of good faith havo
been inferior to those exhibited by
Mr. Davis. The inference is either
that the department has become lately
bent on a closer drawim of the
linos, or, what is more probable, that
the special agent now here, by inqury
into particular cases, is affording the
department evidences heretofore un
obtainable, upon which intelligent
conclusions may be based. If the re
suit of his efforts shall be a check to
the prevailing looseness of ideas re
garding the taking of government
land a demoralization, by the way
which owes much to loose laws and
rulings at Washington this neighbor
hood will have reason to bless Mr.
Gras3 and his mission. It is a little
roush on Mr. Davis, though, that he
should have to figure as a horrible ex
ample, when many predecessors, of
more money and less good faith, have
secured titles to homesteads without
encountering a single embarrassing
question. Walla Walla Journal..
