Yarra and Perthshire were wrecked. In
March, eight cleared, all of which have
made their homo port in safety. Thero
were but two clearances in April, the Ken
ton and Eoslin Castle, which aro liable to
be reported any day as having arrived.
Real Estate Sale
At two o'clock this afternoon, at up
per Astoria, E. C. Holden will offer at
publio auction a valuable water frontage
and several eligible building lots. This
sale will test tho present value of real es
tate in that locality. Two or three years
ago property in that locality was in great
demand at fair prices. Five thousand
dollars cash was paid for a similar water
frontage about that time. Sinco then a
cluster of houses sufficient to constitute n
good sized village has been erected, yet
wo doubt if the property to be sold will
realize as much in proportion as it did
three years ago. Real estp te is not boom
ing just now, bat wo have no doubt prop
erty will come up again. Now is tho timo
to invest or buy a lot for n homo, while
real estate is low.
That Insurance "Compact.'
In tho San Francisco newspapers ap
pears tho advertisement of the Transat
lantic insurance company of Hamburg,
that it has withdrawn from the compact.
Insuranco rates in Astoria, have, in somo
instances, dropped over twenty-five per
cent, in the last thirty days. Denial of
this is useless. The Astoeian knows what
it is talking about. Everybody is glad to
know that tho cinch is busted. The m
surance companies have had a good thing
on Astoria, and while Astoria is glad to
know that comparative immunity from
fire has allowed them to make handsome
ly on Astoria premiums, nevertheless it
is satisfactory to know that the high
rates of the last eighteen inonthB are no
longer possible.
Tbe Right Kind of Immigrants.
There is considerable immigration to
this county and land is being steadily
occupied. The men that come are wel
come; they bring a littlo money, they
take up land with a view to settle here
and make a home. Near Knappa, sever
al new places are being cleared. This is
the kind of immigration that Clatsop
county wants. It benefits tho county and
benefits the new comers. Thero aro
enough hero already of bummers and
chaps "looking for work," and hoping
they won't find it.
A Load of Fish.
The plunger Elenaoi Oysterville, come
in yesterday morning with 1,230 pounds
of fish, comprising hake, halibut, floun
ders, rock cod, sole, dog, devil, rat, fiat,
white, and other kinds of fish, which
went off like hot cakes, realizing a hand
some sum to the owners over 100. By
two o'clock it was all gone.
E. J. Tartridge will be at his studio

his reward m this world.

MORE COMMENT.
Regarding the 3Iost Important of Fresent
Questions.
Tho Columbia ought to bo open to the
sea. This would inlerfero somewhat
with Portland's prosperity, bat the peo
ple of the inland empire havo a right to
a water outlet for their produce. New
NorUnccst, G.
The Astouiax has been doing sonio
fine work in showing np tho advantages
of Astoria over Portland as a shipping
port. Tacoma Ledger, 14.
The contest between Portland, Astoria
anu tho Paget Sound as shipping ports
is one between artificial and natural ad
vantages. Portland has an excellent
business situation near the conjunction
of the Columbia and Willamette, and
will probably always be the chief city of
Oregon. It has also tho capital and pres
tige to assist in maintaining its position,
but as a shipping point it has no special
natural advantages. It is situated twelve
miles from the mouth of the Willamette,
which enters the Columbia 110 miles from
the sea. The navigation of tho Willam
ette below tho city is restricted by fand
bars which requiro considerable atten
tion to keep the channel clear. These
obstacles aro avoided by Astoria, which
has only to contend with the bar of tho
Columbia, which, howevor, is in itself a
serious hindrance. Tho Columbia and
Snake rivers afford magnificent facilities
for transportation iron tho sea to tho
Idaho line, with occasional interruptions
from falls and rapids. Thcso obstacles
aro surmountable by locks and canals,
which aro demanded by tho Astorians,
with an implication that the work has
hitherto been kept back by tho influence
of Portland and railroad money. That
is quite probable, as both would lose tho
advantage they now hold by tho opening
of the river, the railroad us a non-coni-petitivo
carrier, and tho city as tho cen
ter of the export trado of tho inland
empire, as eastern Oregon and Washing
ton are called. San Francisco Bulletin,
11.
OXE WAY TO HELP.
"Now lot me tell you that I have been
in business hero for several years, and
before that in other places, too, nud I
believe I know what I am talking about
when I say that, if everybody would pay
the bill ho owes to his neighbor once in
thirty days, or upon presentation, thero
would be very little of what wo call hard
times. Tho man who owes a dollar and
has got it to pay, but hangs to it, pre
vents the payment of a great many
debts. The journey that a dollar trav
els tho first week of the mouth, and
the timo it makes, as wo say when we
talk of rpco horses, would surprise tho
man who never investigated. 1 marked
a dollar onco and kept track of it a few
days, requesting each man to keep a
record of whom it was received by him
and to whom paid. Before it disap
peared, about tho end of tho first week
of the month, it hfd paid between
twenly-fivo and thirty dollars in debts.
Not long ago I presentod a bill of about
forty dollars to a man abundantly ablo
to pay it. I knew ho had tho money. But
he looked scared and said, 'I can't collect
my bills, and so I can't pay, you know;
wait a while. Now that forty dollars bo
longed to mo, but ho had it in his posses
sion, and of course 1 couldn t lake it
away from him. I he had paid it to me,
as ho ought to havo done, I should have
paid it out almost immediately, and tho
chances nro that it woald havo baca kept
going, and by this time havo paid ten
times its valuo in debts." Exchange.
Got em or Sulucford.
The newly appointed governor of Alas
ka, Mr. A. P. Swiuoford, of tho Mar
quette (Mich.) Mining Journal, is noted
as a joker and for getting back to tho
home stako in repartee. Secretary Ho tch
kiss, of the Lumberman's Exchange,
having to write Swineford recently on
business matters, took occasion to com
miserate him on his forthcoming resi
dence among tho icebergs and grizzlies
of Alaska, advised him to get hislifo well
insured for tho benefit of mankind in
gencr.il, and hoped a kind Provideuca
would project him from tho ludiain, and
especially the Kcssiau bear, and permit
his going on pleasure "exertions" to Si
beria or tho North Pole, etc, etc. Swinc
ford's reply is characteristic: "Thanhs
for your sympathy. Igo where I will
have cool breezes and a temperature of
not more than 7." degrees in summer aud
an averago of i)8 degrees above zero in
winter. Go buy you a geography or cy
clopaedia aud then let me hear from vou
again. If after you see a pieco of red or
yellow Alaska cedar, cut Irom trees rang
ing in diameter from throe to nino feet,
you want to keep on handling scrub pine
from Wisconsin and Michigan, just keep
at it, and you will havo the sympathy of
yours, truly, A. P. S."

Some Facts In the Life of the Salemlto Who
U Xo-t the Subject of Political Com
ment. E. J. Dawuo camo to Oregon some
where about 1870, from Arkansas, aa
preacher in tho M. E. church, south.
Governor Grover, A. Bush and other Sa
Icmltcs, though not of his religions be
lief, contributed to the erection of n
church for him, which was free of debt
tho day it was dedicated to worship. At
that time, says tho M'clcome, ho was
known ns "Doctor' Dawne, liko tho re
cent pastor of a Portland church and on
being questioned regarding his title to
D. D., said that ho was note theological
graduate, but that the title" "doctor" re
ferred to his being a full-blown medicus.
He soon after began lecturing in the uni
versity of tho Willamette as a professor
of clinics, materia medica, or something
of the kind, and was tho most popular
lecturer in the university. About this
timo Syl Simpson and he were candidates
in opposition to each other for tho nomi
nation of superintendent of public in
struction in the Democrat io convention,
and ns the un terrified felt that they owed
something to tho religious element,
Dawne was nominated. Syl Simpson
immediately rushed to pon and ink nad
began war on his successful opponent
that ended in his defeat the only man,
wo think, on tho Democratic ticket who
was made to suffer. It soems that when
Mr. Dawno's diploma from tho medical
college was called for, it had unfor
tunately been "burned in a firo down
south," and no word was received from
tho college from which ho is said to have
graduated th?t his namo appeared on
tho list of nn alumnus. Tho gentleman
who has come into such sudden national
notoriety then resigned from tho church
and university, and began tho study of
law. Ho read hard, posted himself thor
oughly in tho Oregon code, and passed
according to one of the judges of tho
supremo court a first-class examination.
While professorhopaid attention to Miss
Miller, daughter of Scotch Miller, a
wealthy citizen of the state capital who
was taking a thorough courso in tho clas
sics', and eventually married her. Sinco
that time or rather ns soon as Mr.
Dawne made peaco with his father-in-law,
a free thinker and very independent
sort of man, ho appeared as fiduciary
agent for his new relative in tho lending
of somo $S0,0C0. Tho following story
told about Dawne, is not generally be
lieved. When called upon as a witness
against the character of a client of Ben
Hayden's in Polk county, that eccentric
lawyer made tho following peroration to
a bitter philippic: "Who is Dawne? A
preacher without a congregation, a doc
tor without a diploma, a money lender
without a cent."
" Grossest Jlan in Alabama."
"De crossest man in Alabama lives
dar," said tho driver as wo approached
a way-side homo near Selma, Ala.,
to ask accommodations for the night.
At supper, and after it, "mine host"
scowled at every one, found fault
with everything earthly, and I was
wondering if ho would not growl if
the heavenly halo didn't fit him, when
incidental mention being made of
the comet of 1SS2, he said: "I didn't
liko its form; its tail should have
been fan shaped!"
But next morning he appeared half
offended at our offering pay for his
hospitality 1 My companion, how
ever, made him accept as a present
a sample from his case of goods.
Six weeks later, I drew up at the
same house. The planter stepped
lithely from the porch, and greeted
mo cordially. I could scared' be
lieve that this clear complexioned,
bright eyed, animated fellow, and the
moroso being of a fow weeks back,
were tho samo. He inquired after
my companion of tho former visit
and regretted he was not with me.
"Yes," said "his wife, "we are both
much indebted to him."
"How?" I asked, in surprise.
"For this wonderful change in my
Juisband. Your friend, when leav
ing, handed him a bottle of "Warner's
Safe Cure. He took it, and two other
bottles, and now " "And now," ho
broke in, "from an ill-feeling, growl

cheerful my wife declares she has
fallen in love with mo again!"

TOD KNOW HOW IT IS YOURSELF.
When things run smoothly and my men

Is clear of clouds and there's no causo
for sighs,
That is, when all is lovely end serene,
then I
Philosophize
Bat when the littlo ills of Ufa appear
To pester, worry, and pile care on care;
When mere existenco is sandpapered, ns
it were.
Why, then I swear.
When on tho right side is my bpnk ac
count, And great good luck my efforts seora to
crown,
Then upward toward the sky my spirits
mount;
I own the town.
But when misfortunes never seem to let
Up on me, and each move appears a
blunder,
And life seems one "demnition grind," I
get
As mad as thunder.
'Tis eo with most; wo all can smile at
strife,
At cares and trials from which wo aro
free;
And calmly reason o'er tho ills of lifo
We never see.
But when the clouds ob3curo our daily
skies,
And evils from Pandora's box fly thick.
Instead of stopping to philosophize
We mostly kick.
An Ohio Girl's Feet.
In a show-case in John street, says the
Now York correspondent of tho Detroit
Free Press, is a pair of shoes that attract
considerable attention. They aro in
tended for Miss Fannio Mills of Sandus
ky, Ohio, who has becomo famous by the
vastsizoof her feet. Tho shoos aro No.
29, and owing to the fact that Miss Mills
has reached the age in which society de
mands part of her time, tbe shoes will be
the first dress shoes made for her. They
aro made of three goat skins, and are
capable of making eight pairs of ordin
ary ladies' shoes. They aro cork soles
and button tops. Their length is nine
teen inches, tho width seven and a half
inches. Tho waists of tho shoes aro
eighteen and a half inches, instep nine
teen and a half, the ball nineteen inches.
Tho top of tho shoes reaches to tho calf,
and measures in circumference twenty
and a half inches. Tho heels are five
and a half inches in width and four in
ches in length. Four chamois skins
wero used in lining them. Tho shoes,
though plainly made cost $45. Miss Mills
is a blonde and pretty, weight 1C0 pounds
and is of ordinary height. Her father is
a well-to-do farmer and, it is said, will
givo $5,000 and a farm to tho man who
will marry her.
