Tho original programme was to have a social recep tion at the lodge yesterday evening and a public meeting at somo suitable hall this evening, but the absence of the gen tlemen who were expected to accompany Mr. Upchurch made it necessary to fore- fo the latter part of the programme, n the evening he mot Seaside Lodge at the Lodge room and was welcomed in a speech by J.

Contcn.porarj Concent Ecgarulng the IThezt Shipments of the Intend Empire. In discussing tho question, with The Astoeiak, of shipping wheat in sea-going vossels, tho Orcgonian takes tho ground that all tho wheat raised in Ore gon, and for that matter, Washington territory too, will always bo shipped from Portland, for it says, 'it is less costly to bring vessels to Portland than to boat tho wheat to Astoria." The Or cgonian. no doubt, bases its supposition, that Port'and will bo tho only wheat market for this part of the country for all time to come, on tho theory that as Portland has horetoforo been successful in keeping the Columbia river from be ing opened, sho can always do so, and thus will all the wheat have to be hauled to tidewater, (which means Portland), by rail. Rut suppose this state of things will not alwavs exist and that tho Co lumbia river will at somo future tima ba opened to navigation, would tho Orcgon ian then say that it is less costly to boat the wheat up to Portland and load it in to vessels to be transported back again than to load at Astoria? Pendleton Trib une, 7. The Astobian answers an article in tho Orcgonian, regarding tho commerce of the Columbia, in a very sharp and point ed manner. It clearly shows that other towns in Oregon hpvo an interest in the groat "River of the West," besides "Port-land-on-the-Wallamet," although the me tropolis has for a number of years pabl attempted to control tho wholo com merce of this natural artory. It is time for the Orcaonian and the merchants of Portland to understand that the Colum bia river does not take its rise in that city, and that its outlet to tho ocean is not through tho mouth of tho Willamette. Astoria and the inland empiro havo been almost entirely ignored for many years past by tho chief city of the state, and in almost every instance thero has been no atten tion paid to any cnterpriso in which tho seaboard and interior wore directly inter ested except it tended to increase the wealth of tho metropolis. As much con sideration has been paid to dredging the Willamette as to tho improvement of the bar at the mouth of the Columbia, while tho interior of tho northwest, drained by this mighty river has received no notice at all. It is time that the country out side of Portlpnd should awaken to a true realization of their treatment in times past, and do something to divorce theso sections from tho grasping greed of the Willamette city. The development of eastern Oregon in tho few years past has made it ono of the most important agricultural sections of tho northwest, and tho attention of the wool and grain producers has been at tracted to some other shipping point than Portland. While the discriminat ing rates in favor of that city continue, it will hare the advantage of any other town in Oregon; but when our natural highway to tho ocean is cleared of ob structions, Astoria, the seaport of Oregon, will command the trado of this section. How long our people will havo to wait lor the opening of tuo river, with the opposition of the railroads and tho wealth of the metropolis against it, wo cannot tell: but a giant effort can bo mado by ail sections interested, and tho importance of the work mado known to our con gressional representation. And all ef forts in this direction will ba heartily seconded by Astoria, which for long yoars has boen forced io play second liddlo to tho ruling dynasty which pre sides at tho mouth of tho Willamette. Dalles Times Mountaineer. It is a late hour in tho day for Port land to wake up to tho fact that tho opening of the Columbia for continuous navigation was their best means of sal vation. Rut they havo boen too fearful of the claims which Astoria would put in for the business of tho eastern empire in case the river was fully opened to tho sea, and oven now they look on Astoria as in the way of deriving great benefits from tho opening of tho river to continuous navigation to the se?. The facts arc. Portland is beginning to foresee that she has no easy task to hold tho supremacy against the places whoro God and nature designed that the most business should bo done on this northwest coast. Tho struggles for tho perpetual mastery havo been incessant and almost untiring, and she desorves great credit for tho energy she has displayed, only she has expended this energy in tho wrong direction in en deavoring to forco transportation and business away from tho channels where they properly bolong. WThen tho Colum bia river is rendered continuously navi gablo to the sea from this great inland empire, Portland can no moro hold tho trade of this same inland empire than can San Francisco.

Tho item in yesterday's Astobiax about ihe alleged octopus or devil fish at Norih Reach has been received with incredulity by those who affect to beliovo that devil fish do not grow so largo. As proof that the matter was not exaggerated the fol lowing ovidence is submitted, tho narra tor's namo being withheld by special request: "Somo years ago somo devil fish ap peared in n harbor where several schoon ers were lying, and tho sailors, who were Swedes and had never Eeen ono of tho fish before, saw them playing around in the harbor, and thought it would bo a good joke to spear ono. So they took a lifjbt skiff and a pair of old whalo har poons and ropes that belonged tothe schooner and started out, and were joined by the other boats. In a short time one of tho boats got alongsido of a sea-bat, and a rouser it was, too. When they struck it you'd havo thought tho wholo bottom had been hit, and a second later that boat was rushing up tho harbor at 0 rato sho norer went bofore. It was a blind load, though, and the iish had to turn, and the skiff was jerked around so quickly that she half filled, and one man was tumbled overboard." "Up tho channel they went, some yell ing for tha boat and the others to cut tho lino as it was evident that sho would fill in a raomonl; but it happened that tho only man who had a knifo had been dropped overboard, and as they couldn't get Iho lino untied, they had to let it go. They said afterward they were about to jump overboard and let everything go, when tho fish chauged its course and headed right for ono of the schooners. Thoy had to jump then, anyhow, and, as they went overboard, tho fish dived nnder tho vessel, and tho skiff struck her side with a crash, and was knocked all to pieces. The end plank, is they found out later, to which the lino was mado fast, went off with tho fish. Tho mon were picked up, and two days later tho devil fish floated ashore. It measured about 18 feet across, and was estimated to weigh a ton." Trouble All Around. Last TuesJay, August 11, Mis Jennie Leo died very suddenly. This is a very distressing case. When preacher Nichols left hero for parts unknown, Mr. Lee deserted his family to follow him. Somo timo ago tho only son, a young man of 22 or ", went down tho Columbia to seek work, and was supposed to be at Oak Point. -During harvest tho daughter was taken sick with typhoid fever, but so far recovered that she was considered out of danger. Sitting up in the bed taking food and joking with somo friends, sho remarked that sho "could oat an' ap ple if they would lot her havo it." Just thenher mother went into the kitchen, but had scarcely reached it when the girl dropped dead. The suddenness of her daughter's death coupled with other matters, drove the mother distracted, and sho had to bo taken away for a day or two. A telegraphic dispatch was sent to Oak Point, whero tho son. Charles W. Lee, was supposed to bo, but tha answer camo back that ho could not bo found. Tho dead girl was kept out of tho ground as long as possible in tho hopo that her brother would como, but as ho did not, she had to bo buried with her mother as tho only mourner.

Tho following is an extract from the communicatien: ' I have this here day named a fine boy after you. He is as lively as a harvest hand's appetite and can squall louder than a goat. How I do wish you could seo him. His mother was dead set in naming him after his uncle John, because John keeps a store, but'I says, No, no, mother, says I, ' we will namo him after tho governor of this here state. Wo ain't never showed our respect for nono of the governors, and it's high time, let mo tell you.' 'What's tho use in naming him after tho governor?' says mother; 'ho'll forget it in fivo minutes and never will send the child nothing and ho is needing of every thing.' 'Tut, mother, John won't give him anything.' 'Yes. he will.' mother sa vs. 'John will do tho rieht thing, see if he doesn't.' I wouldn't give in, though and now tho child is named after you. How 1 wish you could seo him. It would tickle you mighty nigh to death. He is mighty scarce o' uuus, out he's got a voico liKo a calf. He is the neartest chap I ever seen in my born days. Mother wants to bet mo that you won't send him nothing, but I don't bet sense 1 tuck to preaching, bhe 'lows that you air stingy, but I know a heep better than that. If you want to disappoint mother send I was going to say send down something, but never mind. How I do wish you could see him." ..IrAtznasio Traveler. Catching Salmon In Japan. Japan must bo the salmon fisher's par adise. Professor Milne, of earthquake celebrity, has recently visited the Kurtlo islands, which stretch between Japan and Siberia, with tho object of studying the volcanoes there. Ho sailed around the island of Iturup, which is about 713 miles long by eighty broad, and which is in habited here and thero along tho coast byAinos, who are engaged in fishing during tho season. Hero is his descrip tion of tho abundance of fish: "The fish which are caught aro salmon and salmon trout. Theso exist in such numbers dur ing tho summer and autumn season that their fins sticking out of tho water near tho entrances to the rivers look like tan gled masses of kelp; while up the rivers it is but little exaggeration to say that the pools aro mixtures of fish and water, with a rifle bullet you may pierce four or five at a single shot. Tho shingle shoals aro often covered with dead fish, which in their struggle for existence have bo con) 0 so weak that, having onco run themselves ashore, they aro unablo to return to deeper water. A single haul of a small seine brought to land a huge heap of fish, varying in weight from four to twenty pounds, the number of which we roughly estimated at 5,000." A Startling Discovery. Physicians are often startled by re markable discoveries. The fact that Dr. King's New Discovery for Cpnsumption and all Throat and Lung diseases is daily curing patients that they have given up to die, is startling them to re alize their sense of duty, and examine into the merits of this wonderful dis covery; resulting in hundreds of our best Physicians using it in their practice Trial Bottles free atW.
