The Oregon Prohibitionists have chosen their electoral ticket as follews: J. G. Maddock of Umatilla, G. W. Dimick of Marion and W. F. Owens of Douglas. They claim that they will poll at least 1500 votes at the November election. Since a good supply of water has been received at the county jail, confinement in that prison has an added terror. Sheriff Ross believes that cleanliness is not only next to godliness, but that it is part and parcel of godliness. His first remark to a prisoner nnder sentence is: "Take off your clothes!" "All of 'em?" "Yes, all of 'em." Then he turns the hose on and washes all outward stains away. He doesn't intend to allow any smells or ver min in that jail if plenty of cold water can prevent it. The "Walla "Walla board of fire delegates have set a move on foot to organize a firemen's association for Eeastern "Wash ington and Oregon and Northern Idaho. Should the movement meet with success the association will consist of the follow ing companies. "Washington, Tiger, Vigilant and Rescue of "Walla Walla, the WaitBburg company, the Dayton steam engine company,the Pendleton company, Sprague and Cheney hook and ladder companies, the Spokane hose company, Lewiston hook and ladder company, and the Colfax steam engine company. Mr. Walsh, editor of the Chehalis Vi detie, has been visiting the Quinault res ervation. He says that any claims as to Srogresa or improvement among the In ians on that reservation are "utterly baseless and without foundation;' that it is "a Humbug without excuse and an im position without defense," and summa rizes in the statement that the records show plainly "that twenty-five years of expenenoe, the expenditure of from one-half to three-fourths of n million of dollars, the donation and exclusive use of two hundred and twenty-four thousand acres of the best land in western "Wash ington, has proved;a grievous curse to these Indians, for it has left them more degraded, more superstitious, more de based and more miserable than ever the3T were in their original condition before the reservation system was instituted." A GOOD SHOWIMi. En. Astebiak: The stockholders of the O. F. L. i B. Association held their annual meeting in the lodge room of Beaver Lodge No. 33, yesterday afternoon at 2 v. m.

It was found that the venture had paid 7 per cent on the in vestment clear of all expenses, and it was ordered that one dollar per share bo paid to the holders of all paid up stock. It is desirable that all Odd Fellows should interest themselves and see that the balance of their stock be taken up. Will Not Attend. Ilwaco, "W. T., Aug. 22. 18S4.

Bearing; for tho Third Time the Oham pionsbip of the State. The Department Gives Them an Enthn Maitir Itcccptiou. A Torchlight Procession; Addro of Wel come, and a Banquet. Astoria was illuminated last night. Lights shone in the windows, flags and transparencies decorated the buildings, and crowds filled the streets. One thous and people were at the dock when the Wide West arrived with the returning delegation from the Albany tournament bearing with theiu the trophies of a well-earned victory. As the lines were made fast the boat was filled with an enthusiastic crowd, and after the first congratulations were over a procession was formed, the post of honor being giv en the victors, and tho priucip.il streets of the city were paraded. The line of march was illuminated, and ehrera were given as they passed. Rescue No. 2s building was the center of attraction. It was a blaze ot light and in the lower room was spread a ban quet; abovo stairs tho ladies served ice cream, coffee, eic.. and no attention was wanting to show the appreciation of As toria of her representative delegitiou. When the procession reached thd cor ner of Genevitve and Sqaeiuoqua, halt was called, and fro.u the balcony of Two's building. Mayor Hume, who had been with "the rest of the boys," deliver ed a short address. He said that the public officers and citizens of Albany did all they could for them under tho circum stances, and that the Salem people had outdone themselves in their splendid HOSPITALITY TO THK ASTOUIANS. He paid tribute to the firemen of the state, and congratulated the Astoria fire department on tho part they played and the credit they won in tho tournament. Al. Cleveland followed in a congrat ulatory speech welcoming the return of the boys, and assuring them that those who stayed at home were proud of i heir representatives. While these .speeches were going en outside, an enthusiastic crowd was in tho main room, the excitement cooling down a little and giving Ben Worsley a chanco to make himself heard. Ho mounted a chair at the head of tho banquet board, and in a very neat speech, presented W. J. Barry with a gold-headed cane, as a mark of appreciation and a gift from the hose team of No. 2. Mr. Barry was taken entirely by surprise, but in a few graceful words of thanks assured the donors that their handsome gift was most heartily appreciated. Cheers, congratulations and hand shakings were in order, and joy ruled the hour. Tho supper that was served down stairs and tho refreshments up-stairs were disposed of, and the story of the contests was told again and again. Tho boys are unanimous in praise of the way the Salem people treated them Friday night. They gave tho Astoria bo3's a royal reception, made them tho guests of the Capital city, and went to consider able expense in entertaining our dele gation. The following additional account of the tournament is from yesterday's Standard: As the first contest was not finished at the close of yesterday's report, the fol lowing is a complete record of the same: Companies ran in the order named: Time. Linn Hoso Co. No. 2 ( Albanv) 1:11 Albany Hose Co. No. 1 '. 0:00 Rescue Hose. Co. No. 2 ( Astoria)... QZ Astoria Hose Co. No. 1 0SGK Capital Hose Co. No. 1 (Salem).... 0:53 More interest was taken in this race than any other in tho tournament, and the Salem boys were well cheered for the good time made. Contest No. 2 was "omitted on account of no two hook and ladder companies en tering. Contest No. 3 Steam engines to sta tion with cold water, lay 100 feet of hose and throw water 100 feet from nozzle, Prize, 2T. Tiger Engine Co. No. 2 (Salem ). . .11:42 Linn Engine Co. No. 2 (Albany).. fl:4SK The time made by the Astoria Engine Co. No. 1, in Astoria, July A, 1832, was C.-024, so that the time made at the tournament was very poor. Contest No. 4 was passed for the same reason as contest No. 2. Contest No. 5 Steam engines on dis tance, steam limited to 120 pounds, not over. First-class steamers to pla3T through 2."0feet of hose, second-class 200 feet, third-class ISO feet, fourth-class 100 feet. Prize, .$50. Tiger No. 2 (Salem) 255 ft. 10 hi. Linn No. 2 ( Albany) 201 ft. 5 in Both engines being fourth-class, played through 100 feet of hose. Linn Engine Co. No. 2, the loser of tho contest, is the same engine that won the Centennial medal in our city in 187C, by a throw of 23G feet and 10 inches. Her poor throw ing qualities surprised tho Albany folks. The throw made by the Salem engine was exceedingly good. Contest No. 9 Engine tender com panies, twelve boys, 10 years of age or un der, to run 200 yards and carry 200 pounds of coal. Prize, 10. This race was a hotly contested one by tho Salem and Albany lads. Both companies made the same time, 30 1-5 seconds. The pnrso was di vided. Contest No. 7 Steam engines to run 100 yards; hose company to run 200 yards, layiOO feet of hose, and throw water. First prize. .$100. A second prize of 25 will be given provided more than two companies enter for the contast. After tho throwing contest, tho Albany steamer became out of gear, and the above race looked doubtful for some time, as the steamer from Salem waB under orders from its home not to be used in any race except those in which its company (Tiger No. 2) contested. But after a little per suasion, the proper ones, with common sense, allowed the visiting companies to use the same. The time made wis: Tiger No. 2 (Salem) 1:01 Astoria No. 1 (Astoria) Rescue No. 2 (Astoria) 0:41 2-5 Linn No. 2 (Albany) 0-49 3-1G Tiger laddies made a hitch in connect ing hoso to engine, and lost considerable valuable time. Astoria Engine Co. No. 1 mado a splendid run and no doubt would be the winner of the race, but the hose was supposed to be in one continuous line, ana by some unknown manner tlie hose broke at the place where the nozzle was to bo attached, and no time was al lowed. Linn Engine Co. No. 2 used their own steamer. Contest No. 8 was omitted, for same reasons as contests Nos. 2 and 4. Contest No. 9 Hose companies, any team to "make' and "break" five coup lings in "line" hose. Prize, 15. The following teams entered: B. S. Goodhue, T. Howard Capital.. 1:52 R. F. Prael, J. W. Hare Rescue.... 1:23 J. F. Hail, M. E. Brink Linn 1:53 Hare and Prael made a splendid run, nnd were heartily encored. Contest No. 10 Grand sweepstake foot race, for any company on the northwest coast, to run 300 yards. Foreman to cer tify active membership for thirty days. Prize, 20. List of runners were: R. JD. Patton, B. S. Goodhue and Geo. S.Wright of the Capitals; Pete Grant of Astoria s and Geo. Noland of Rescue. This race was easily won by Noland in 33K seconds. Ho could have bettered his time consider ably, but looking around and noticing tho gap between him and tho next man, ha slowed speed. Noland is an excellent runner, and no doubt is the best amateur in tho state, nnd could put many profes sionals to tho blush. After Noland had won the race the Rescue boys were wild with enthusiasm, and lifting their favor ite from his feet placed him upon their shoulders and carried him into tho hotel amid tremendous cheering. NOTES. Chief IX. Crane, of tho Walla WaUa do partment, attended the tournament. The handsomest apparatus that ever came together in Oregon, was at Albiny yesterday. A finer set of firemen than the Astoria laddies are bard to find. This morning J. W. Hare, in behalf of the Astoria Fire Department, made a small speech in the hall of the Ladies' coffee club, thanking them for the su- Eerb manner in which the boys were andled; this was responded to by the president of the club in a neat and ap propriate manner, eulogizing the bays for the Gentlemanly manner in which they behaved themselves, while the guests of the Albany department, and thanking them for the liberal patronage and inviting thein to Albany at any time. Just on the eve of the departure of the lire boys, who were escorted to the de lot by Chief Hoffman and headed by tho Albany baud, throe rousing cheers were giveu for the time-keepers and judges for the magnificent manner in which they discharged their duty; also for Chief J. Hoffman, W. J. Barry, Ladies' Coffee Club, e-Chief K. A. Strang, Secretary Frank E. Hodgkin, George Noland, Ben Worsley and the Astoria Fire Depart ment for the laurels won. Three heavy groans were given to tin proprietor of the Revere House for the uncommodious manner in which ho treated the Astori? bovs. The ball was an tnjo3able affair. Tho Ladies' Coffeo Club will receive, as they richlj' deserve, appropriate resolutions of thanks from the Astoria Department. The Club fod between 400 and 5C0 at the free dinner yesterday. The Astoria Department remained over at Salem, tho guests of that Department, and will leavo to-morrow morning to catch the Wide Wat the samo day. The boys cheered tho railroad com panies and the employes for favors shown. Rescue Engine Co. No. 2, of Astoria, goes home loaded with laurels. The compan' to-day stands tho champion of Oregon. Captains Pete Grant and Frank Park er deserve mentioning for tho manner in which they hnndled their respective teams. "You mako a good deal of fuss over this matter,' said a visitor last ovening as he saw the enthusiastic reception given the returning tennis. Well, yes: Astoria pleads guilty to making considerable fuss over her firemen at all times, and under nil circumstances, more particularly when for the third time tho department has proved at a well contested trial, its right to the claim of being the best volunteer department in the state. All this, apart from tho sport. It is only two weeks ago that the n6ws camo that two fast trotters away over on tho Atlantic slope had made a mile in two minutes ana ever so few seconds, and the news was telegraphed all over creation. Tho lucky chap that rodo the winning horso got 10,000 from its owner for tho ride, and there was no end to the fuss mado over it. It doesn't seem to be such n very important matter whether Ja3 Ej-e Seo can trot a mile in 2:10, or Maud S. in 2.-09 3-4, but there is doubt less lots of fun in seeing tho race and lots of satisfaction in beating the record. In the contest between tho firo compan ies of tho state a good deal more depends on the result than the simple matter of makiug a good "record." When last Thursday tho news was flashed from Al bany "Linn, 49: Rescne,41,"' wo all cheered hero and felt good over it, partly on ac count of home pride, and partly on ac count of a stronger reason which all at homo nnd abroad will appreciate. It was only a littlo matter of eight sec onds in getting water; a mere trifle to be sure, and not worth making a fuss about. But let the midnight alarm ring out, and v citizen springing from sleep finds his house wrapped in flame and those he loves the best in danger; pnd no ten thousand dollars will equal in value those precious eight seconds; and the grandest archangel that ever flew from Heaven's throne would not be so welcome as tho sight of the hose team and engine dashing around the corner, an embodi ment of strength, courage and fleetness. And this is why Astoria made such a fuss over her returning firemen last night, nnd why wo attach so mnch importance to the record, and feel glad that wo have in ourdepartment the nerve nnd training that gives assurance of timely succor in the hour of need.

The Tunes has no ambition to ficuro as a teller of big fish stories, nevertheless, when the New Westminster Cobcnbian comes to hand with an enthusiastic par agraph abont a "king salmon," and falls short of the mark, up goes Victoria's big fish. It was brought to this city on Sun day b3' Mr. J. A. Carthew, who arrived here on the Princess Louise. The fish is from River's inlet catch, and is, it is state J, beyond doubt tho largest and finest fish that has ever been caught in those waters. It has a length of 4 feet 5 inches, a girth of 34 inches, and weighs 97J pounds. These dimensions and weight, Mr. Carthow states, were carefully taken, and he insists that they are true. Let this fish go on record as the king of salmon, or at least let him so stand until some one downs him, by pro ducing facts equally incontrovertible, by which ho shall bo entitled to bear away the palm. 1'icton'o 2'imes.
