The receipt of complimentary tickets is acknowledged for the Y. M. C. A. entertainment this evening.

In the justice court yesterday afternoon was tried the case of Wm. .Toplin charged with assault aud bat ter' on .1. H. D. Gray. The case was given to a jury of Gve, who found for the state. The defendant was fined 40 and costs. The Portland board of trade has very properly appointed a committee to select a delegate to the January meeting of the national board of trade at New York, to represent the neces sity for the improvement of the Co lumbia river. Like action on the part of our chamber of commerce will be of direct and additional benefit to the The investigation relative to the bargain of Mayor Chapman of Port land concerning municipal office pa tronage began last Wednesday even ing. Mr. Scott, the editor of the Orcgonian, testified that the original contract was in D. P. Thompson's safe, and that Thos. Connell told him he saw the orieinal contract signed. His testimony w:is corroborated by D. I Thompson. The inquiry will be re sumed to-morrow. The Portland board of trade, at its last meeting, endorsed the memo rial of tho Astoria chamber of com merce to the Washington territory legislature, praying for the passage of a bill prohibiting tho catching of sal mon in the Columbia in tho month of April, f A committee, consisting of Messrs. Dodd, Ingersoll and Lowen berg, was appointed to investigate the necessity of an investigation into the loss of the Cairnsmore, on Clatsop beach. A Pine Picture. Capt. Flavel has in his ofliee one of the handsomest marine pictures in the United States. It represents the Co lumbia river bar; in the foreground are swelling crests of dark green water, over which a tug is crossing out with a full-rigged ship in tow; farther in are lines of curling foam, and on either side the dark height of Cape Hancock and the low shelving beach to the south are admirably por trayed. In the distance rise the spires of Astoria; farther above Tongue Point stands out in distinctness, and in the remotest background towers the rounded dome of St. Helens, Sometime ago Capt. Flavel told Mr. Rockwell, the artist, to paint him a picture of the bar, and the finished painting is a valuable addition to the many beautiful scenes along the Co lumbia that have been transferred to canvass. Men who have piloted ves- sels across the bar for many years say that the tint of the water, the hue of tho clouds, tho trend of the waves, and other points of minute detail are true to nature, and bestow upon it the heartiest praise. Northern Pacific Game and Oyster The shipment of dressed beef and wild game by the Northern PaciGc Express Company during the past few weeks has grown to large proportions, and promises in the near future to be- come a big branch of the company's business. At present these shipments are mostly made from Little Missouri, where the Northern Pacific Refriger ator Company, of which the Marquis de Mores is manager, has its coaling house. From Little Missouri both buffalo and cattle meat is shipped; but most of the wild game comes from Miles City and Dickinson. This wild game is principally mountain sheep, black tail deer, ducks and geese. A portion of these shipments is distrib uted along the line, but most of it comes direct to St. Paul, where it is held until a carload is stored. It is then sent East, principally to Chicago and New York. , These shipments are made l3 the Northern Pacific three times a week in combination cars half refrigerator and half express. The cars leave St. Paul three times n week, leaving every Monday, Wednes day and Friday, attached fo the Pa cific express, aud make the trip in four days. The wost bound ship ments usually consist of oysters and fresh pork, slaughtered in St. Paul. The oysters are distributed through Oregon, Idaho and Washington Ter ritories, and the pork, as a general thing, is shipped to Miles City. The last shipment of pork weighed 3,000 pounds. Oysters are shipped by the, case, and do not require re-icing. The average shipment is ten cases to a car. In addition to oyster and pork, quite a quantity of butter and eggs are also sent west. When these latter shipments arc made, tho car is used twice first at St. Paul, and then at fHclena. As a usual thing, 1,500 pounds of ice will last from St. Paul to Helena. The refrigerator cars will be run all winter, and when the cold weather sets in the will be used to keep perishable property from freez ing. Pioneer Press. One Reason. Talking about Seattle, a neighbor ing paper says: ino prosperity oi Seattle, so apparent to everj'body, is owing primarily tc the umlimited faith of her people. There is no doubt of a arand future in the mind f any of her citizens. They are all ready to shout Hosanna to Seattle. She is ever uppermost in their minds. You ask the merchant who pava his 500 or 000 a mouth rent, and by a tight squeeze balances his ledger at the end of the month, of her prospects, and he shouts "Glory!" You sound thesmall dealer who pays his 50 per month for a 10x15 box, or 25 for the privilege of standiu;: on tho street corner to vend his wares, and the refrain is "Halleluiah!" It does not matter whether he saves a dime, so long as ho sees others making money and has the inestimable privilege of living at the hub of commerce. It is such faith that builds cities, and if Seattle can keep it alive, she will still progress, The tear ot relaxation uoes not seem to trouble them. The Worst Yet Many unpleasant things havo been said concerning Oregonians on account of butter, lard, pork, vegetables, can ned fruits, ana many other things be ing imported heps which should be produced in the state, esterday canneryman informed an Oreg'onian reDorter that a firm at Astoria were importing ljoxes from California in which to put' up their salmon. Now, that is the last hair needed to break the mossiest back in Oregon. 1 think that the country all around As toria is an unbroken forest, and yet the inhabitants of that citT have to send to San Francisco for boxes made from Pnset sound lumber in which to pack their salmon. Orojonian. We had hoped to keep that shady till it could be spoken of m the past tense. It is almost as bad as the case of the man near Hoquarton. Tillamook county, who complained to us when we were there last summer that the freight on lumber from Astoria was too high to admit of fencing, On every side of his place were thousands of tho finest trees, about as fit to be made lumber of as trce3 generally get to be. Corvallis incendiaries cause the citizens to threaten "summary and terrible vengeance." There is an unusual number of vessels in tho stream, the arrivals be ing far more numerous this season than any other in the historyof the river. Thus?far the vessels loadin have received uniformly quick dis patch. The mother of Miss T lllie Brown Could not in mornings get her down To breakfast If she'd try to force her The miss would just weigh cup and saucer. A Remarkable Fire. We had a fire in Walla Walla the other day. A block of ono and one-1 half story pine shanties on the main street blazed up like kindling wood, which, indeed, was all that they were. The fire was just below my hotel, so we were all ready to vacate, which was, happily, unnecessary. But that was the most remarkable fire I have seen. I was struck, utimo oy tne ap parition of an old-timu hand engine, ; the like of which I haven't seen since the tournaments we used to have in Massachusetts country towns fifteen years ago. There was a "steamer," too, but the tire was nearly burned out before it went to work. Tho crowd was curious. There were cow boys and Indians, army officers, farm ers, gamblers and soldiers. A spick aud span officer climbed a shed and essayed to ascend the roof of a burn ing house, it was like the frog in the well. Every time he went ahead two feet he slipped back thre?, until finally he threw the water wildly before him, slipped and came rolliihg down on the shed, followed by a cascade of water and an empty bucket. He repeated this about a dozen times. At the end of his experiment any well regulated household dog would have promptly taken that dilapidated figure for a most villiauona tramp. Some firemen held a door before thein for a shield. The door caught tire and burned like, tinder. They didn't know it at first, but suddenly they found themselves hcingcooked exactly like planked shad. Nor should 1 forgot the lofty indiffer ence of the Chinamen. There was an attempt to impress some of them to man the brakes of the hand engine, but John unanimously declared. Too much foolee. Me uo sabe." Finally a man was carried across tho street from the flames which were consuming his little shop. Ho writh ed convulsively in the arms of the firemen, and uttered piercing shrieks. People rushod toward him from every side, bitten with the morbid desire to see some ghastly spectacle. He was laid down on tho crass. With sobs and orayers ho groaned, "Oh, mo leg, me leg, me leg. God help me, what shall 1 do!" Wo could see that ono tronser leg, torn and soiled, hung emptj "He has lost his leg," said one. "Great heaven, send for a doctor! How did it happen?", exclaimed a kind-hearted woman, as the poor fellow burst into a tempeat of tears and sob. Sudden ly a man pierced the crowd, bearing a strange object in his hands. Was it the doctqr? Every one pressed for ward. The sobs suddenly ceased Something was going on in the center of the crowd which we did'nt under stand. Every one waited breathless to hear shrieks of ajrony. But instead we heard a prolonged "Whoo-oo-p! Suddenly the sufferer roso to lu3 feet, not foot, executed a short war dance of triumph, and administered a sound kick to a small boy who was coquett ing with some confectionery. Noed I say that the lost leg was of wood! B)iim Herald. T. M. C A. A musical and literary ontertain- ment will be given m the M. E. church of this place, this evening at eight o clock, under the auspices, and for the benefit of the Astoria Young Mens Christian Association. ine rooms ot tno society are in need of renovation and refitting in order to render them attractivo and comfortable for the use of strangers and visitors dnnng the coming win ter. To aid in procuring the nccea sary funds for the desired improve meuts, the executive committee have decided to givo the above mentioned entertainment, which will consist of vocal and instrumental music, read iugs and recitations, kindly furnished by some of our best load talent, and will close with a beautiful and impres sive tableau. Several original fea tures will appear in the programme, among which are a Swedish ballad, by Mrs. Bayard, and a song in "Russian Finn, Bv Mr Carlsen. B. F. Stevens it Co. have generous ly allowed the society the .use of one of their fine pianos free of charge, which will add greatly to the pleasure of the occasion. The admission has been fixed at the low rate of 25 cents, so as to place an enioyablo evening s recreation within the reach of all friends of the cause and their families, aud it is hoped they will avail them selves of the opportunity, and fill tho pleasant church to overflowing.

Johnson Astona Postoffice. Oysters in Every Style, And coffee at Mrs. Lovett's. Went for His Gun. According to some of the stories told in Wall street, deadheadism ran riot during the recent Yillard trip across tho continent. It was the fash ion of some of the excursionists to charge everything they wanted to buy to the Northern Pacific Railroad Com-, pany or to Mr. Yillard. Some of them even bought clothes at the ex-. pens of the company, while the "slating" of a round of drinks was no unusual occurrence. This is the way it is related that one of the Hufus Hatch party nearly lost his life Mr natchs lite. rie pnrcnaseu some goods, in a frontier town, and had the u:n i.,-i T7.,u .,t..a vi. ! bill Charged to UllCle KlllllS. W hell the pirty took the train the enterpris ing shopkeeper was on hand aud pre sented the bill to Uncle Rufus, who. while he did not repudiate it. dis claimed any knowledge of tho merits of the transaction. The . nlmpmau consulted his hip pocket with the re sult that Uncle Rufus was only too glad to obtain a .receipted bill at any price, regardless of its merits. A Chinese Doctor's Office. A sick Chinaman walked into a Chinese store, pressed his hands against his stomach, ran them across his forehead, and m the Celestial tongue informed a wise-looking, fat Mongolian behind the counter that he was sick. I he wise-looking man re garded the sick man through his big, round horn-rimmed spectacles, in spected his tongue, placed his iiauds on his head, faced mm to the four points of the compass, chanted myste riously at him, and motioned him to a seat. Then he weighed out in deli cate scales a dozen ingredients, wrapped the mass in six little cornu copias, tied them up with dried grass, pocketed a silver dollar aud dismissed the patient. "What dm you give that nuiil a reporter asked. "Man he heap sick, said tho doc tor, casting a lugubrious glance at his questioner, aud jerking his words out at railroad speed.
