An Anonymous Corrr.inondcut.
At nil times tho anouvmous correspon
dent is a somowhat pervasive individual,
but it is in the political campaign that ue
flourishes like a green bay tree.
Never, by any chancs, does the anony
mous correspondent get anything pub
lished. Xso reputable newspaper over
pajs any attention to his communica
tions, execpt to waste-basket them and
nut them in the wav of appropriation to
some useful purpose after the paper mak
ers have punned them. V cry rarely are
they over read, lne glance tuat snows
thein auonoymous usually seals their
fate. Yet their writers continue to send
them, in" tho hope, apparently,
that on some lucky occasion they will
get into print.
Do they ever read tho papers, wo won
der, these anonymous ones If they do,
thev must have learned lone since that
the'newspaper has absolutely no use for
their communications: that it does not
want them even whon thev contain news
which would be valuable if authenticat
ed, and that it wants them still less when
thev contain attacks on individuals.
whether candidates or not. And do they
ever think what it is they ask a newspaper
to do when thev invite it to publish an
authorless attack upon a public man or
private citizeiu Do they realize now
owardly their position is?
There are times when the value or use
fulness of a communication in the press
is enhanced by its appearing unsigned,
and tho newspaper is very rarely unwiu-
mc to respect the incognito ol a corre
spondent. But eveir when the corre
spondent cives his name, ho has no right
to asu a newspaper to pccomo responsioio
for statements which he himself is uu
willinc to stand sponsor. Still less has
he the right to such expectation wnen no
carries his unwillingness to the extent of
withholding his name from the new:
paper publishers.
American and English Ships.
Tho trade that commerce brings a suit'
able port is every year adding to the
amount of money spent at Astoria and
will increase with the growth of the Co
lumbia river exports. The supplying of
ships with provisions, the amount of
money expended along tue docics in tne
receipt and discnarge ot cargoes, and a
large part of tho lower river traffic natur-
urany concentrates ac Asiona. uip
captains are not slow to discovor that
tueir own interests as as wen as iub in
terest of tho owners of their vessels are
best served by disbursing the money at
Astoria, thus avoiding tedious and vexa
tious delays. When, as will ul
timately occur, the greater part of
the out outconi" cram is iirst
pnt into a ship's hold at Astoria2 tho
uusmess win uo on a rauie prupuiuuuai
to the other industries that Astoria will
sustain. Tho difference in the English
and American system of disbursing
pa vine crews, etc.. is noticeable. An

DEEP AXD GRIT'S RIVERS SOTES.
From au Occasional Reporter.
Editou Astobiax:
With a considerable frontage to the
magnificent Columbia river, this front
age pierced by such well defined rivers as
the Deep and Gray's available by tho
deepest draught ships; its surface oov-
ered with good timber; its ribs lined with
economic and valuable minerals; with
sufficient agricultural lands,when cleared,
to feed over a million of inhabitants,
and pastoral lands upon which can be
raised the choicest grade of horses, sheep,
and cattle: with its waters abounding m
the linest hsh from the imperial salmon
to the lowly sturgeon; with a climate un
surpassed for mildness and salubrity;
witn water power suuicient to dnye tho
machinery of the world such is Wah
kiakum, the smallest, nicest, richest, best,
most cosmopolitan county (a? far as its
present inhabitants are concerned) in the
whole extent of Washington ierntory.
Between Stark's Point and Harring
ton's Point are the mouths of Gray's
river, about a mile distant from one an
other. The physical appearance of
Gray's bay is very peculiar. I feel con
vinced that the whole bay wrh formerly
the bed of some old crater. The bay
may be said to resemble n horse shoe in
appearance. Looking at it from Harring
ton's Point the view is grandly beautiful.
The water in Deep river is of wonderful
depth, as opposite Olson's I am told it is
62 fathoms deep, while in front of
Colonel Shaw's beautifully located resi
dence it is some twelve fathoms deep in
. J. r in.
are, generally speaking, covered with
evergreens, and when properly ditched
will be the most valuable lands in the
world. Their fertility may be said to be
exhaustible and these lands will never
be worn out or require manure like the
Willamette valley lauds and other lands.
Game of nearly all kinds is abundant.
Deer and bear are to be found here;
largo numbers of grouse and pheasants,
and immense flocks of the well-known
mallard ducks are to be seen quietly feed
ing on the flats within gunshot range of
tho tourist's gun. These rivers also
abound with the finest of trout.
To the lover of nature's charms, and to
those in search of health and pleasure, I
would say, there are few more attractive
places than along these rivers. One is
seldom afforded viows of such peculiar
scenery, even in a lifetime of constant
travel. However, to be appreciated ono
must not rush right through on the gen
ial Captain Raphael's boats; but take his
time, spend a month prospecting about;
take u few Russian vapor baths which
ho can have gratis at nearly every
Finn's homestead live on ducks and sal
mon mixed with trout and pheasants
and ho will havo cause to bless the writer
of these few lines.

When Peggy's arms her dog impriiwn
l always wisu my necK was nisen
How often would I stop and turn
To get a pat from a band like hern;
And when she kisses Towser's noso
Oh, don't I wish that I were those!
I see his last api endage drag
And wish I had a tail to wag,
Why must I pine and long for that
A dog can not appreciate
But I will never own to her
I'm jealous of an ugly cur.
Ah, Peggy! Is it really true
That you do just as others do?
You hug and pat that dog of yourn.
Yet wish the while that he would turn
According to a better plan,
Into a real good-looking man.
And while I'm getting on so swimmin'
1 like to know if you young women
Hug close your dog and hug again
Just cause you ain't got nary man?
If so you girls are sort of o'mellow
To hug a dog, when any fellow
Would gladly get down on his knees
Just for tho tiniest little squeeze.
Til bet a coon Pll not be missin
When you are in the mind for kissin
So, Peggy; it is wrong to waste
Your huggin on an ucly beast
A man can hug you back; he's stronger
Don't practice on your dog no longer.

"Is this where they edit?
"Yes, ma'm," said the man who" reports
conventions and mass meetings where
they nominate mayor and councilmen by
acclamation and otherwise, as he looked
up and discovered a trimly-built young
lady standing in the doorway. "This is
the exact spot where Right, environed on
every side by Intellect, deals tellingblows
agaiiLst Wrong and Injustice, clad though
they be in the garments of Might and
Oppression. Armed with tho lances of
Thought that glisten brightly in the sun
light of Reason, the editor stands ever
ready, a helmeted knight in the holy
cause of Justice, fully panoplied, and
with weapon in couchant poise."
"That wasn't exactly what I wanted to
find out about," paid the young lady. "I
am going to make a crazy-quilt, and
mamma said that an editor'could prob
ably tell me all about if and a bewitch
ing smile illuminated the features of the
fair visitor.
"Our insane beJ-clothes editor," said
the political reporter, is not here at
prestnt, and the rest of us naturally feel
somewhat diffident about intruding
upon the domain of quilt- which are
suffering from temporary aberration of
mind and pillowshauis concerning who-e
mental condition there is doubt.' -
"I hardly think you understand ,me,
sir," continued the young lidy. "A
crazy-quit isn't really and truly" crazy,
you know it is simply called so "because,
being made of silk of different colors, it
presents an outre appearance."
"Presents a what?
"An outre appearance looks rather
strange, you know."
"Oh. yes; sort of dizzy looking, oa
mean."
"That probably expresses the idea. sir.
although not perhaps in the most choice
language. I should be very glad, though,
if you could give me some information
about this matter, because it is necessary
that I should bejnn the work at once.
"Making this demented quilt for Your
self?
'No, sir that is, not exactly. and a
ivid blush suffused tho young lady's
features. "But I want to have it donp by
the 1st of January, because wo won't
have any room for the frame iu the other
house.
"Which other house?'
"Whv, the one I that is, we oh. I
think your'ro awful,' and more blushes
ensued.
"Tho 1st of January is not generally
considered the most auspicious season of
the year for moving," said the political
reporter. "The blithe carol of the New
ears caller, and the low. sad wail of the
man who is buying twine and hiring
knitters for next season, are about the
only features of prominence connected
wuuuomestic me in Astoria at mat sea
son of tho year. Why don't you wait
until May joyous, happy May when
the Columbia sparkles to the sea and its
smooth service is dotted with white
sailed fishing boats, catching the festive
Chinook salmonr'
That's just what I have said all
long," replied the young lady but Char
ley declares that he will never live iu the
same house with mamma, and now I
shan't say another word," aud more
blushing ensued.
"Uh, said the political reporter.
you're going to be married, are you.' '
ies, sir. Ihat is, Charley said 1
'I know what he said. He leaned vou
up confidentially against his suspender,
and, speaking in low, tremulous tones,
asked you if you felt that you could leave
parents, brothers, sisters, custard on ami
day, and all that makes home at once the
altar of our affections and the joy of our
Uvea, and live forever more with him.
And you yanked him out of the realm of
doubt so quick that it made his head
swim, isn't that itr
"Why, yes, sir that is, I said'
"'Certainly. You said that when a girl,
standing on tho threshold of womanhood
and watching with wistful eyes for the
mists of futurity to lift, sees advancing
the one man to whom she can give her
heart, all her doubts and fears disappear
as if by magic, and she knows that only
a great happiness and holy content en
shroud her beincr. Charley then kissed
you warmly about an inch, below your
nose, and broke himself next day buying
an engagement ring. He calls at the
house every night now, and when he
savs to you: 'Myrtle, do vou love me as
much this evenmg as you did last 'Ihurs-
day afternoon r you look at '
Ho doesn't call me Jlvrtle at all,-' in
terrupted the young lady, "jiv name
is '
It s the same thuiL'. A rose bv anv
namo would have as many thorns. When
he asks vou if you love him as much as
you did last Thursday, you climb up a
little higher on his neck and want to
know how he can ever doubt vou. It s
all right, though. Bo a true and loving
wife, and perhaps some day Charley will
give you a quarter to spend without re
quiring an itemized account, sworn to be-
lore a notary, as to where such a vast
sum has gone. Uhensh his love as you
would a tender plant that the rude blasts
ot winter would destroy. -Hake your
whole life a constant endeavor to 'pro
mote his welfare, but do not hmsh that
quilt."
"Why not. sir?"
"Because," was the reply, "it would
recall to him the happy p;ist.'

The chopper works upon one bended
knee. Before leginning to cut, he has
looked to see which way the treo is in
clined. For this he steps back a short
distance to where he can see to the very
top. If ho is in doubt he lifts his ax by
the end of the helve and lets it hang
freely suspended. This gives him a
plumb line by which he measures the in
clination of the tree. But it is not
enough to determine in what direction
tho tree will fall most readily. It may
1h that large trees are standing right in
the way of its falling on that side, and
against these the tree will be lodged. It
must be carried to the one side or the
other, and herein consists one of the
mvstents of woodcraft the skill to guide
tree in its fall. He will direct it with
the greatest ease. Having decided where
ho wants it to go to avoid the risk of
lodging against other trees, or of being
broken by falling on uneven ground, or
to have it lie so that the logs will be con
venient of removal, the chopper first un
dercuts tue tree; mat is, no cuis upon
the side toward which he will have it
fall, and in such a manner that the line
f the kerf shall be exactly at right an-
&s with the line along which the tree is
li. If the tree stands nearly per
pendicular, and has no inclination to fall
as he wishe?, the chopper cuts a little be
yond tho heart on that side. By doing
tins he removes tho base when tho tree is
endy to fall and rests upon a base of but
an inch or two in breadth, so much from
the center of the stump. The effect of
this will be very great in moving the base
so that the center of gravity will fall on
the side desired. Though he works in so
cramped a posture, the chopper cuts the
stump so level and so smooth he thinks
nis nuio ooy coma spin ins lop upon it.
Having undercut the tree with the
greatest care, the woodman now changes
his position a little, but remains on the
Mine side, rets on his other knee, and
shifts hands, that is, wields the ax with
the other hand forward. He now cuts
upon the other side, leaving the stump
two or three inches higher according as
he wishes to gain advantage for the last
few strokes. The work goe3 on with lit
tle concern until the base is Ho thicker
than a plank and quite as even, then a
blow is aimed full at the center, and the
chopper looks quickly at tho top to note
the effect. If ho perceives a tremor in
the trunk, or if a bit of bark or moss is
loo3ened from its hold, he knows now
every stroke will tell, and he aims these
with "the greatest precision. Soon as
ever the top bows to ita fall ho marks the
direction in which it is moving. If he
wishes to bring it more toward him he
strikes a blow upon the further edge; if
to carry it further from him, the blow is
given upon the side that is nearer. These
last strokes need to be given with great
nicety. If feeble, they will fail to effect
their purpose; if of too great force, the
tree will be severed from the stump upon
that side, and then all control of it is
lost at once, and it plunges blindly for
ward. A tall treo like the pine is broken
from the stump by a force acting quite
differently from that which is applied in
the case of shorter trees. In its descent
the pine acquires at its top a centrifugal
force so powerful as to lift the tree from
the stump and carry it forward five or
six feet boforo it reaches tho ground.
When it does come to the earth tho top
and the butt strike at the same time, and
the tree lies half buried in the snow.
