One benefit has at last been found in
the Dingley shipping bill ppssod at the

that articles of foreign manufacture

includes all articles of provisions,but does
not include luxuries, such as cigars,which
can only bo used by officers and passen
gers. About tho maddest man in Astoria yes

"sick" and the other went to seo how he
was getting along. He revenged himself
after a fashion by smashing his bar fix

As soon as it became known that the
duties on opium imports were to be in
creased from G to 10 a pound, the San
Francisco dealers brought in several
millions of dollars worth of the drug,
and as tho supply exceeded tho demand,
it had to be stored away in various banks
and warehouses. Recently that which
came in under the old rates was nearlv
exhausted, and tho first shipment under
the now, consisting of 8 cases or 400
pounds, came over on the last trip of the
steamer New York. The second lot was
by the steamer Zelandia, which amounted
to 123 cases. Tho two lots netted the
government, in tho way of duties, G5,
500. This may give the public some idea
of the extent the habit of eating and
smoking the deadly drug has gained over
tue people oi mis country.

A PROJECT TO SECUKE THE BUILDING OF
THE CLATSOP I50AD.
It has long been generally acknowl
edged that no project is of more import
ance in this county than the building of
a road to tho ocean from Astoria. Tho
commonly-accepted route is from Smith's
Point across Young's bay to the tide
land on tho other side. It is now more
than two years sinco The Astobiax
broached tho subject, and sinco then
has had considerable to say about it.
Several meetings have been held, a com
pany has been incorporated and funds
have been raised: it was thought that work
would be begun this season, but for one
reason and another tho practical execu
tion of the idea is dilatory.
A petition is now being circulated
through the county addressed to the
county commissioners, and worded as
follews:
"To the CouNTrCoinnssioXEES or Clat
sop Countt, State op Obeoen:
We, the legal voters of Clatsop
county, Orecon, do hereby petition vour
Honorable Board to aid the construction
of a public highway from Smith's Point.
in this county, to Skipanon landing in
the same county- Said highway to cross
Young's bay at points as near the mouth
of Lewis and Clark river as may be found
by you or your successors to bo practica
ble for ferry and bridge.
Tho channel to be crossed by ferry
operated bv private enterprise until such
time as proper authorityshall be obtained
for bridging the same, and the sense and
wisdom of your board and your succes
sors shall deem it expedient to so bridge
the channel.
We ask that said highway be made a
good passable wagon road and that you
make the necessary tax levy to defray the
expenses thereof in accordance with chap
ter VIII, title I, page 53G of the present
civil code of the state of Oregon. And
as in duty bound wo shall ever pray."'
This is a most commendable request.
It should receive the endorsement of every
citizen of the county. Its acceptance
would empower the county commission
ers to take the necessary steps to begin
the work and the value of the proposed
improvement is so manifest ns
to commend it to the favorablo
consideration of all. Purely as
an investment it is n splendid opportu
nity for tho county to concentrate at this
point considerable floating capital that
has hitherto sought outlet elsewhere, be
sides giving an impetus to tho private
expenditure and enterprise that will as
suredly follow in its wake.
The petition will reach every precinct
in the county this week. Tns Astobiax
asks its readers in all parts of the county
to sign it, to seo that their neighbors
sign it and make tho list of signatures of
settlers and citizens ns full and com
plete as iossible. The petition when
signed is returnable to the county clerk
to be laid 03' him before the county court
at its regular meeting.
THE IlEKP SEA FISHlXfJ COJIl'AM.
The idea of deep sea fishing off the
Oregon coast is one that has for some
time engaged tho attention of several of
our enterprising citizens. Nearly a year
ago Dr. A. C. Kinney, at his own expense
fitted out a vessel that made two or three
experimental cruises south of Tillamook,
but not meeting with success the project
was not actively pushed. Sometime after
a company was organized, tho base of
operations being Clatsop beach, but a
series of disasters caused a cessation of
active operations in that quarter.
Still the matter is not allowed to slum
ber, and it is now confidently thought
that the fall will see the matter assume a
definite and satisfactory shape. Thero
arrived in from Port Townsend yester
day evening tho little schooner Lottie,
which appears to lie just the vessel re
quired for tho enterprise. A company
composed of Capt. J. H. D. Gray, J. D.
Comptou, Jno. Exon, and others has
been formed, the rigging, nets, seines,
trawls, etc., have all arrived from Eng
land, and it is thought that by Tuesday
next the schooner will be ready to start
in the business of deep sea fishing.
Tho idea is to go out a distance of
from fifteen to thirty miles, and with the
peculiarly constructed nets, with hooks
and lines, and by trolling catch deep sea
fish. One of the crew yesterday after
noon, while off Shoalwater bay, caught
a twenty-pound salmon whilo trolling.
The Lottie lies at Gray's deck and her
gear will bo put aboard to-morrow.
STIUMiE DISAPPEARANCE.
Mr. Trenhunen.who lives near tho Half
way house, on the roadway, is much con
cerned over the strange disappearance of
his wife, who has not been seen nor heard
from sinco yesterday morning. Sho roso
at an early hour as usual, and after busy
ing herself about the house getting
breakfast, etc, about half-past seven sho
went out to milk the cow. Coming back
with the pailful of milk sho set it down,
and stepped out, since which there is
not tho slightest trace of her in any di
rection. Mr. Trcnhunen noticed on Fri
day that she was not feeling very well
and fears that she may be deranged.
There are four little children at the house,
the youngest a baby of five months, tho
oldest not more than ten years of age.
It may be that the unfortunate woman
is drowned. Mr. Trenhunen is over
whelmed by this terrible misfortune, and
any ono having the slightest clew to the
fate or whereabouts of his wifo will con
fer a favor on him bj' letting him know
at the Halfway house.
Lumbering on Pugpt Sound.
To show the prodigious stride mado in
tho manufacture of lumber on tho Sound
during tho last few years, the following
is produced to show tho work of one mill:
The Port Blakely Mill company employs
450 men, chiefly in the logging camps,
200 head of work oxen and 20 mules.
One of these camps puts 40,000 feet of
logs into tho water daily. The company
loaded just 100 vessels in 1884, with car
goes aggregating 70,189,784 feet of lum
ber. Twenty-eight vessels were loaded
during the first four months of the cur
rent year. There were shipped also,
4423 piles, 092 spara, 700,308,000 laths,
91,254 pickets, and 200,700,000 shingles.
The daily capacity of the mill is 275,000
ieet. Aho largest day s work "was :K$,UUU

CLATSOP CODKTY DAIRY FARMS.
The most extensive dairy district in
this county is located on Clatsop plains,
which are of an average width of a mile
and a half to two miles, ?nd extend from
Skipanon and the ocean shore twelve or
fourteen miles southward to Seaside.
Immediately fronting tho shore line lies
a rather narrow but fine stretch of ocean
beach, closely bordered by nearly bare
ridges of shifting sands from a few to
thirty feet or more in height. Between
the shore of sand and the wooded bench
lands back from the shore there extends
in succession a series of saud ridges, here
close together and there farther apart,
and running generally parallel to the
shore line. On the top and sides of these
inter-ridges and on the trough-like plains
and hollows are found growing several
kinds of native and cultivated grasses.
Redtop, timothy and white clover grow
well on the nearly level stretches and de
pressions among the ridges. Velvet or
mesquite grass, as some persons call it,
prevails most on the tops and sides of
the ridges. At several places between the
sand ridges the depression is so great
as to form long and narrow lakes or
pools of water, whose summer surface is
covered with a great profusion of leaves
and flowers of water lilies. Several
streams of water course and wind about
among the ridges. One of them having
a meandering length of fifteen or twenty
miles, empties into tho ocean at a point
only a few minutes' walk from its source.
Several of the dairy farms of the Clat
sop plains district embrace from one to
three sections of land.
Tho largest is that of Jo3iah West, con
taining about two thousand acres. Mr.
West, as well as a number of other dairy
men, raise considerablo numbers of stock
in addition to carrying on the dairy bus
iness. Thero are sixty cows connected
with this dairy. Chese is mado during
eight months and butter the remainder
of tho year, the ayerago cheese product
during the eight months, being ono hun
dred and fifty pounds, daily. The cows
nro not all fresh and to produce the re
sult given a supplementary supply of
milk is obtained from tho neighboring
farmers. This nipke of cheese is branded
"Clatsop Factory," is first-class and al
ways brings tho highest quotations for
the dome3tio article. Mr. West says
there are good, practical hints to cheese
makers in tho method of cheese-making,
as practiced by Prof. J. B. Harris, of
New York, and as referred to in nn arti
cle entitled "Modern Cheeso Methods,"
published in tho July number of the
Farmer and Dairyman.
Mr. West's dairy stock consists of
grade Ayrshires and grade Jerseys, and
has two grade Holstein bulls for breed
ing purposes. An interesting feature of
dairy farming, as practiced at this place
is the method of rearing the calves. For
the first week or ten days they are let to
the cows nt milking time. After that
theyaro fed only on shorts and whey
boiled together, and they appear to thrive
well.
Thos. Goodwin keeps twenty-six cows,
grade Jerseys, milks seventeen. During
the month of June ho made five hundred
and ninety-six pounds of butter, or an
average of nearly thirty-five pounds to
the cow for that time. The butter from
this dairy is shipped fresh twice a week
to this city and commands the highest
price. Mr. G. owns twenty-seven year
lings and calves, grade Jerseys, also ono
Jersey bull a largo thoroughbred, girt
ing seven feet. Phil. Condit keeps thirty
four cows and is now making 180 pounds
of butter per week. During the year he
raises about 5,000 pounds of pork on
skim and buttermilk, supplemented with
clover pasture and a little shorts and
middlings. Charles Butterfield, twenty
six cows, has made cheese for the last six
seasons. This year he will make butter
till January. A fine quality of cheese is
made at this factory, the daily product
being eighty pounds the milk from a
neighboring farm being added to thrt of
the twenty-six cows on tho place. Ad
joining Mr. Butterfield's is the Gearhart
place, with twenty-three cows, recently
reported sold to Pennoyer of Portland.
Seaside dairy, thirty cows, A. Kaiser,
manager. Mr. K. has been connected
with this place for nine years, and has
raised 143 head of stock, from a start of
nine cows. Several of the cows are thor
oughbred Aryshires and Jerseys. N. A.
Eberraan keeps ten cows. Mr. E. is an
old pioneer of '43, and settled on the
Clatsop plains tho same year.
H. Carnahan, nineteen cows, milks
twelve, part of them being grade Short
horn Devon?. Tho farm of 400 acres and
tho dairy are under the management of
C. W. Carnahan. G. Wingato's place,
twenty-five cows, under tho management
of B. "Land and F. H. Ward, in connec
tion with the Ward farm, on which there
are twenty nine cows. The milk from
these two places is used in making cheese,
eighty pounds being the reported daily
product. The cheese made hero is of ex
cellent quality, the price realzed so far
being lGc. to 17o per pound, wholesale"
On the farm of R. W. Morrison, who set
tied on the plains in 1844, there are thirty-three
cows managed by Wm. and Jef
ferson Morrison. The milk is taken to
West's cheeso factory. James Kindred,
who keeps eleven cows, reports fifty-fivo
to GO pounds of butter per week. G. "Win
gate has lately purchased the John Hob
son dairy farm on the plains, and intends
keeping up the dairy. Mr Wingate owns
a thoroughbred Durham bull, sired by
Hawthorne's Christmas eve, dam, Mark
ham Maid; five years old, weight 1800
pounds; bred by the late Dr. J.'C. Haw
thorne. John Loomis keeps twenty cows,
and runs a dairy and stock farm com
bined. Capt. Flavel keeps thirty cows on his
farm at tho upper end of the plains.
Twenty-six of these are grade Durham
Ayrshire, and four thoroughbred Jerseys,
the latter purchased from Joe Buchtel,
of East Portland. In tho herd thero is
also a thoroughbred Ayrshire bull.
On the Walluski, and Young's bay and
river the report is as follews:
J. G. Nurnberg, eighteen cows. Theo.
Christian, seven; John Ellis, fourteen; F.
Bartoldes, sixteen; A. H. Sale, twelve;
Joe Ross eleven cows.
On Lewis and Clarke river W. E. De
ment place, C. S. Dow manager there are
thirty-five cows; A. Aylmer, eight cows,
reports tho average make of butter from
April to August 1st, seventy t ounds per
week, bringing in the market sixty cents
per roll. The receipts last season from
salo of butter and calves from six cows,
amounted to three hundred and sixty
dollars. This place is upland and mostly
covered with brush and timber, except
ten or twelve acres of tide land, which is
cleared and diked and produces a rank
growth of white clover, timothy, red clo
ver and a sprinkling of velvet grass.
Chas. Harder reports eleven cows, yield
ing on an average thirty two-pound rolls,
weekly, for six months of the year; D. J.
Ingalfs. thirteen cows with a good yield;
Wm. Hartelle, thirteen cows, reports
weekly shipment of from eighty to eighty
four pounds of butter; P. B. Heckard,
four, and A. Anderson eleven cows.
