Around tlie City. Some little hatchets are being buried and others exhumed. A good many people are burning coal in Astoria this winter. The Lilian is carrying boxe and boom sticks from Knappton. The A. B. Field is billed to sail for Tillamook next Friday. N. Johansen offers his Upper Astoria store with fixtures for rent. The Indiana cleared for Queenstown yesterday with 77,609 worth of wheat. The streets were gray with frozen sleet yesterday morning which melted off by noon. A pleasant time is anticipated at the Congregational social at Mrs. Welch's this evening. A much-needed job of street repairing is being done on Chenamus street in front of the postoffice. Look out for counterfeit silver dollars! They are well executed, but the lion's head is not so distinct as in the genuine. In the justice court yesterday Leonard Chance plead guilty to assault and bat tery on John Johnson and was fined 12. A Seattle editor declares that be wears the national colors in his person. He has a red nose, a white heart, and a blue spot under his eye. Political clubs are organising in vari ous parts of the state. Astoria never was very partisan in this matter, and is just as well off. The circuses have already begun to chirp. The great and only aggregation known as the Nickel Plate, will start from Roseburg next month. Alf. Bowen, the genial proprietor of theOysterville Journal, was in the sanc tum yesterday. He says the Pacific connty folks will have a railroad. Good. Courtwright & Hawkins' minstrels are the next attraction. Vm. Muldoon, the champion wrestler, is with them. Mul. does the "plastic statue" business, what ever that is. When the papers speak of the prize ring they mean the circle in which a prize fight is held, but the girls will have it that th6 real prize ring is the little golden band to signify their engagement. A philosophical contemporary tells us not to mind small things, but what are yon going to do in the cape of the feliow who runs his hand up overyonr vest front and takes the last cigar out of your upper watch-pocket?

A late Washington dispatch says that Rosecrans has presented to the house a petition, signed by tbe principal lumber dealers on the Pacific coast, opposing any reduction in the duty on lumber. Peti tioners state that if special industries of the east require and receive protection, the lumber industry has a right also to demand protection. They say if dnty was abolished, competition in the lumber trade would come from British Co lumbia, and would be in the highest degreo detrimental to them. Freights on lumber, they say, from British Columbia to points in Cali fornia, are quite as low as from Puget sound, while the difference in freights from ports in Alaska would be so largely in favor of British Columbia lumber as to give the latter a monopoly in the trade if the duty is taken off. They also call attention to the fact that the lumber trade in British Columbia is carried on by Chinese coolie labor. The petition, before being presented, was signed by the entire congressional delegation from California. How Thej Fix It. "How is it that you and your husband cover wrangle about which is to get up first and fix the fire?" asked one lady of of her next door neighbor. "Why,'.' was the reply, "we settle that every night before going to bed by a game of cards. If he beats me three out of five games I get up first, and when I beat him he gets up." Reducing the Boats. AsTOBiA, Feb. 3, 18S4. EnrroB Astebiax: The proposition to reduce the number of fishing boats on tbe river still agitates the minds of our cannerymen and I feel confident that a reduction will be made to the extent of either one-half, or possi bly forty per cent of the number, taking last year's list of boats as a basis for calculation. There were some of our cannerymen, who at first, would not favor the pro posed reduction from the fact of their having men and nets sufficient to run as many ooats as last year, but the better reflection which they have given the matter, for the past two weeks, have made all confident of its prosperity, and now the proposition has the approval of all, except possibly one of our Astoria canneries, and I doubt if they will desire to stand in the way of the other thirty eight canneries, who are confident of a Having of a dollar or more on each case packed. Aiialf million dollars, thus saved, dis tributed among our cannerymen, would greatly relieve the present feeling of de pression, and as the only requirement to accomplish it, is a concert of action, I reel sure it will be done.

In our opinion a committee of five should bo appointed from among the leading citizens three from Astoria and two from Forest Grove to grasp the sit uation fairly and squarely, ana to leave no stone unturned until the land grant is forfeited, as the corporation has no ngnc or claim upon it wnatever. ier us strike now, whilo the iron is hot, and much good can be accomplished. Wash ington Enterprise. There is no better or more reliable in dication, at once of the assured pros perity of a city and of the firm confidence of its cilizens'm its steady progress, than the exhibition of an open, hearty and liberal ,readines3, on the part of its lead ing men, to expend money and donate laud for object of public improvement or ornament. Where citizens are found en dued with this kind of public spirit, and actuated by an enlightened regard to the conditions on which the prosperity of the community hinges, there need be no fears entertained that opposition, however plausible, bitter and well organized, will ever succeed in staying the onward march of the place towards assured prom inence over rn'als less fortunate in their inhabitants. Seattle Herald. Private enterprise is one of the prime conditions of national prosperity and progress. The more men ure encouraged to work and save, to build up homes for themselves, and surround their families with comforts, to engage in manufactures and eommerce and mining and other activities, to risk money and health, and even life, in works calculated to increase public wealth and comfort, and give em ployment to mechanics, and diffuse art and refinement, the better for the coun try and everybody in it. Portland Standard. The early settlers of the several towns on Puget Sound have been, and in some places are still their own worst enemies. They have lived cheaply for many years: their wants have been few and easily supplied, and now that the star of enterprise has wended its way to the northwestern shore of this vast continent too many are inclined to look on the new comers as interlopers, and instead of offering inducements for family location, hold their property at such high rates that the man in moderate circumstances is driven away rather than encouraged. Port of Entry Times. Thare seems to have been quite a fall lately in real estate values at Seattle. All those prominent residents who are not speculators should rejoice over this evidence of returning reason. The city has obtained too firm a hold on business interests to be permanently checked in her progress, and the unnatural, fevered condition which has preceded this stage could not have been much longer main tained without permanent injury to the place, Olympia Standard. Whatever the final vardict may be as to Mr. Villard's capacity to manago the various transportation interests lately under his charge, there can be no question that as a "mixer" ho was emi nently successful. There are said to be some places where it is a lucky child who knows his own father; surely, for the last two or three years he was a lucky employe around some of the Portland offices who knew which of half a dozen corporations he was working for. Taco ma Ledger. What is the use of every little one hors3 paper in tho country trying to nominate a president? Early in tho leafy days of June, when fragrant flowers bloom forth in loveliness, the moguls will meet at Chicago and the political ma chine will grind out some obscuro candi date like Hayes or Arthur for the people to walk up to the rack and vote for. Such men as Blaine, Edmunds, Logan, and other brainy men will ba snowed un der fifteen feet. Our present system of selecting a president is a queer concern, very unsatisfactory and uncertain. Whatcom Reveille. Strange, isn't it? Every time a presi dential election comes on a lot of "inde pendent" newspapers start up all over the country. They most always turn out to be Democratic papers in disguise. But then "a rose by most any otner name would smell as sweet," and why not a Democratic paper do as effective work while masquerading? It's a good deal like concealing a blue mass pill in a lot of raspberry jam. The effect is the same. Port Townsend Argus. What valid reason can Mr. George give in regard to the Oregon Central Railroad Company's title to tbe millions of acres of land granted for the construction of a railroacfrom Forest Grove to A6toria? Can he siy that the company has not had sufficient time? Can he say that tho O. fc C. and other companies desiro to have the Astoria branch built? Can he deny that they have refused to permit the building of tho road when it was shown that the land grant would pay tor it? Mercury. BOTH WERE LOADED. Kerosene fire!

It is reported that John Muir has a three years' contract as manager of the Oregon Improvement Company, at an annual salary of 1j,030.

TbG Journal reports that the D. S. light houso engineers are building a brush barrier to prevent the sanda from en croaching on the light house property at Point Adams. A colony located near Glendale, are vegetarians, who never eat meat or fish of any kind, redgiously believing that it is wicked to kill any animal and then feed on its flash. The belief is gaining ground in Pacific County that tao "indemnity granf'which has rested like an incubus on that coun ty for so many years, will be declared forfeited during the present session of congress. Writing to the Boise City Statesman, a correspondent at Malheur river says: A party of railroad surveyors commenced about New Year's at tne Ontario side track, and are now running a survey up the Malheur river. At present they are about forty miles from tne starting point. 1'hey wjJI not tell anyone who tney are, who are their employers, or for what point they are bound. Foreman Robinson of the Jvnapplon caunrry, informs tne correspondent of the P.icinc Journal that tne cannery men intended having things a little their own way this season, as the fishermen had had their's long enough. He says most of the canneries won't pay more than 50 cents, but as his pack has been already contracted for, he will pay (JO cents to his own boats and 75 cents to outside boats. Last Friday 111 meals were served at the Walla Walla soup-house. In the morning forty-six meals were given away without tickets, the superintendent of the establishment asking the men to carry in two loads of wood which were lying in tho street, and that would pay for their meal. Of the forty-six who availed themselves of the free much,only four would so far demean themselves as to pack wood. The superintendent thinks he has a very hard crowd with which to deal. The New York Star claims tho honor of being the foremost and most persis tent of eastern newspapers in demand ing forfeiture of unearned public lands voted railroad corporations, and dares a Republican senate to put itself on rec ord against the vote of the house on Thursday, regarding the Texas Pacific grant. It calls on the house to complete the work and declare a forfeiture of the following lands: l,0G2,Ol0 acres granted to the Oregon branch of the Central Pa cific, 1,074,OIX) to the Oregon and Califor nia, 750,000 to the Oregon Central, 37, 400,030 to tho Northern dacific, and 38, yi9,u00 to tho Atlantic and Pacific. The Star says: "Tho fact that tho Oregon brach of the Central Pacific has already secured patents upon 1,0J2,3M acres more than it is entitled 10 is one of the mys teries which only past and present Re publican d rectors of the land office at Washington can intelligently explain'" During this week tho committee on public lands will bring in a bill forfeiting the grants of the California and Oregon, the Oregon and California, tho Oregon Central, the Northern Pacific, and per haps one or two other roads. On threo of thoso the committee has already de cided to report. A few days ago a vote was taken in committee, and tho general principle was declared that congress has tho power to forfeit all railway grants not earned in tho time prescribed by tho law. It is understood this was mado for the benefit of tho senate committee, a major ity of who3a members are known to iio d that congress has no power to perfect gaants where roads have boon built in good faith. If tho senate committee en tertains this opinion the house bills will probably all be beaten. A reaction from the monopoly stampede in tho house has already set in, and several senators have said to rash so big a thing as the Toxas Pacific bill through without debate was positively indecent, and not calculated to mako the senate respect tho action of the. nouse.
