A Seattle policeman has been fired from the force for tying a prisoner to a lamp post. Thoy have an ordinance in Seattle against tying anything to lamp posts. Judge Greene, of tho territorial court at Seattle, has decided the Salvage law of the territory void, as he "law metes out indiscriminate reward regardless of services rendered."' Tho Oregon Pacific folks are thinking of having a grand hurrah at Yaquiua about Christmas. About twenty-five miles of track are still to bo laid before tho work is completed.

For sale at the drug and book stores and E. C. Holdcn's auction rooms. Dr. Kinnoy is talked of for collector of customs. Should any change be made the gentleman mentioned would most creditably fill the position, but concern ing this matter of federal appointments, it may be said that all speculation re garding the matter can be but premature, as several months must elapse before any possible change will occur. The salvage case wherein an award of $64,000 was made to Capt. Flavel, Capt. Gray and others, has been appealed from Judge Deady's court to that of Lorenzo Sawyer. There is no telling now when a final decision will be arrived at. Should a similar mishap occur again of course every one within a hundred miles of the place would vie with each other in their haste to aid. The Japanese newspapers are not quite educated up'to their business. A few weeks ago a typhoon came along and just naturally hove things in that section. One city was swept out of existence. The local paper in the next city disposed of the whole matter in one line, thusly: "Nagatoki was destroyed by a cyclone yesterday." It would bo interesting to know what that editor's idea of sensa tional news is. "Why, in this land of tho free, if a frohesome'zephyr upsets a barn in Kansas, we get six columns of telo grams about it the next day. An Olympia grocer advertises in the Transcript as follews: "Knowing it to be for my best interests and believing it to be for the best interests of my custom ers, I shall hereafter sell for cash only. The following are a few of my reasons. First Taking no risks I can afford to sell at a lower rate of profit. Second I will not be at the expense of keeping books. Third I will not have to spend one week of every month trying to make collec tions. Fourth I will have time to eive more attention to my business and con sequently give better satisfaction to my customers." The Welcomo man was amused last Wednesday evening, at the Holton house by the aptness of repartee in a colloquy between a Blaine man and a Democrat, wherein the former remarked: "It is pretty thin for you fellows to celebrate the election of Cleveland as a Demo cratic victory, when you know you are indebted to St. John for it." "Well," answered tho Democrat, "that puts mem mind of tho old darkey who always prayed the Lord to give him bread. To have some fun with tho old chap, a scapegrace got a loaf and threw it at him through the window while on his knees. It excited the old fellow's fervor and ho thanked the Lord in the loudest style. The scapegrace laughed at him and told him that the Lord had nothing to do with giving him that leaf: that he ought to tnonk him for it. The darkey re plied, "Yes, massa, de Lawd did sent it to me, but no made do debbil bring it!" To "Wliom It May Concern. All persons having bills against the Cushing Post G. A. R.

Last Sunday morning a young fellow named Bindor, known as "Cowboy Charley,' got into a row in Albina with another young man named Hans Rocb, which resulted in Binder's shooting Roch with, it is believed, fatal result. Immo diattly after the shooting Binder lit out for the tall timber. At half-pi'.st six last evening Sheriff Ross received the following telegram: PoirriiAKD, Or. Nov. 24, 18S4. To the Sheriff of Clatsop Ceunty: A man named Charles Binder, alias Char ley, the Cowboy, killed a man near hero yesterday. He is a German, 22. years of age, nve leet tnree inches high, stout built, dark hair, very small dark mus tache: had on a mixed crav coat. A man got on the Fleetwood at St. Johns yester day, and went to Astoria. He was anxious to get to the territory. Use every en- aeavor to eaten mm ana noid nim at all hazards. Thos. A. Johdax, Sheriff Multnomah County. Ten minutes after the receipt of tho above Sheriff Ross had arrested a man answering in every particular to the de scription telegraphed. He told t he sheriff that ho had got on tho Fleetwood at St. Johns on Sunday morning; that he had had some little trouble at Albina "about a board bill," but ho didn't know any thing about any murder. He was locked up last night and the Multnomah sheriff notified. He will bo taken to Portland as soon as an officer and warrant arrives. A .MISTAKE POINTED OUT. Ed. AsreuiAX: Pardon one of your subscribers for calling your attention to an error in your editorial of the ISJil inst, where it reads as follews: "This states occupies an anomalous position. Of all the th"rty-eight states m the American Union Oregon is tho only stato that will not have a represen tative in congress in political accord with tho Democratic executive. It is the first time in the history of the government Luab iiua uii uver ucuurreu ituu me cir cumstance is worthy of notice." I wish to rcall vour attention to the state of Minnesota which has, as is well known, two representatives in the United States senate, and at the recent election has chosen her five representatives in tho lower house of cengress: Majority. First district White re-elected, Republican 2.GS4 Second district Wakefield. Rop... 1077 Republican 1,771 Fourth district Giltillnu, Rep.... 4,1GI Fifth district Knute Nelson, re elected, Republican 8,972 This will show that Minnesota, a much larger stato than ours, casting 15S,218 votes at the laio olection. has at least an equal claim with us for the honor of sending a solid delegation to congress whose political views are not in accord with tho Democratic executive. It may ba added that Minnesota for a- number of years past has been in the habit of sending a solid Republican dele gation to congress and was truo to her traditions this time by giving the above majorities for members of consress one of whom is a S3andiaavian(Knute Nelson) uy nirtu anu 4i,ui'U majontv for Blaine.

PROBABILITIES A5D POSSIBILITIES. There were several of us talking over business affairs in Astoria tho other night, and ouo man said that one of Yillard's greatest mistakes was building tho O. R. & N. branch to Baker City and neglecting to build the O. fc C. branch from Forest Grove to Astoria. A gentle man in the party promptly replied: "Oh, yes, but you are looking at the cose through a pair of Astoria spectacles. You think if the road was built that the ocean steamers would stop here and tho passengers go up to Portland by rail.' "No," replied the Astoria man, "I never once contemplated any such con dition of affairs. That is asking a triflo too much just at present. "But do you suppose there is going to be any traffic for a railroad when people can ship their products so much cheaper by steamboats down the Columbia river. You certainly could not bring wheat down, here as cheap by rail as the big barges are carrying it in lightering out the ships which finish their loads here." "Yes," replied the Astoria man, "but there are other considerations than wheat. The presence of a coal bed along tho line of that road is almost a certain ty; and, then, look at the timber that could be shipped from points over the road. It has got to ba so that railroads are the cheapest of all logging appliances. Ten years ago a man that talked about building a railroad to haul logs to tide water was set down as a fool, but- now everybody needs them in the business. ' "And do you mean to tell me," said the other, "that there would bo any money in hauling logs by railway to tide-water;" "I do, and what's more you will see that tho very necessity for those logs is what will be eventually tho means of building that road. Just look at the way treorgo Weidler and Ordway have been putting logs into the river at Oak Point in the last two years. How could they have done it without a locomotive and train of cars? In my belief they laid down the logs to the mill company at Portland just half a dollar a thousand cheaper than they could have been pro cured any other way. Then, again, there is that little narrow gauge road running from Tenino into Olympia. It broke the men that built it, but General Sprague and Wingate got it and began hauling out logs to tide-water; and now that little narrow guago road is a splendid piece of paying property. It has passen ger and freight trafhc enough to pay all expenses, and the logging work is just so much clear profit." "So you think that this Astoria road would mako its money by hauling logs to tho river, eh?" "Yes, and it would bo one of its chief sources of revenue. The lumber trade of tho Columbia river is just in its infancy. Heretofore all tho foreign cargoes have been shipped from Pugot sound or Bur rard inlet, but the Columbia river timber is clearer and a finer grain, and they are beginning to find it out abroad. I should never bo surprised, if salmon stays at present figures, to seo one-half the can neries along these wharves taken out and replaced by sawmills. "Do you think it would be a good thing for tho country?" asked tho report er. "It would bo better," replied the gentleman, "for several reasons. In the first place it would open out a great deal of tho grazing land when tho timber is cut off. Secondly, it would employ white labor almost exclusively, while canneries employ large numbers 01 Uhinese. And lastly, it would bring money to Astoria that now goes to tho Sound. The in crease of this trade in the past two years is almost incredible. Two years ago the Simpson barkentines, from Knappton, earned out all the lumber that was ex ported from the river, and none of their cargoes went foreign. Now you see Weidler has loaded three or four cargoes for Panama, at Portland, and Berry has loaded one or two cargoes hero for Montevideo the first lumber ever ship ped from a Pacific port to the Atlantic ocoan, at least the first that I know of. And if I am not badly mistaken, this trade will grow greater beforo it will grow less. Now, as I said before, they will have to build railroads to get out the logs. It is not only the most rapid way of removing largo fallen timber, but it's a good deal the cheapest in the long run. I am not quite fifty years old yet, but I do not despair of seeing a railroad running into Astoria before I die. If there is not coal enough in the Nehalcm valley to make it pay, there is timber enough to be gotten out, and tho mills must have logs. They are cut away so along the river banks and so much has been destroyed by fira that unless some means is devised of getting open the back country, the mills will be apt to run short. Bnt that will all regulate it self, and I am firm in tho belief that As toria will yet become a big lumbering town." Tom Merry in Sunday Orego nian My father, says Mr. "W. M.

In tho lan guago of Sir Lucius O'Trigger, "It's a very pretty quarrel as it stands, any ex planation would spoil it." About the time this triplo cause pays its way through the courts, receiver's fees, etc., the resi due will be somewhat like Joe Meek's first and only admiralty case while he was United States marshal of Oregon territory. Li 1848 Joo went overland to Washington as an important courier on behalf of the government, and Mr. Polk appointed him tho first U. S. marshal. A ship was libeled in admiralty down at As toria, where Joo served the process. Tho case hung fire for some time in the courts but the libellant obtained judgment and the vessel was disposed of at marshal's sale for ten thousand dollars. The rep resentative of the libellant called upon Joe for settlement, when he coolly made known there was nothing coming" above costs to use his own words, "That's bar'ly enough for the officers." After a few terms of court, playing with demur rers, answers, reports of receivers, etc., Joe's reply will bo applicable to the Hol laday outcome- Welcome. Hfoticc.
