The Standard Publishing company, withS. B. Pettongill, J. K. Kelly and C. B. Bellinger as incorporators, has been formed in Portland for tho purpose of raising money to purchase the Standard and provide tho capital necessary to en large and strengthen it. Two years ago tho Queen of the Pacific stranded on Clatsop spit. Judge Dcady in the suit subsequently brought awarded the men that saved hor 04,000 salvage which they have to get. Tho award was appealed and tho case comes up this month before Judge Sawyer in San Fran cisco. Ira F. Powers, whoso furniture factory in Portland was totally destroyed by fire last Sunday morning, on Tuesday ciused the arrest of Aaron Elkeles, charged with the crime of arson. It is a terrible accu sation to bring against a man that he deliberately set his building on firo and perilled the lives and property of hun dreds of people.

The Astobian is in receipt of freight from Chicago which came through in ox cellentltimo and was delivered on tho dock hero in good condition; tho charges from Chicago to Astoria,according to tho tariff, wero one dollar a hundred pounds, which is about as cheap as anything in the way of carriage can be. There was no primage, just a regular fair charge,and the relief from the San Francifco cinch is too great to pass unnoticed. Jack , well known to a good many in Astoria, and who was sent to the jeni tentiary some considerable time ago, was in town yesterday on his way to Califor nia. He said he'd been getting out stavo bolts east of tho mountains, and exhib ited checks to the amount of $S00 on a San Francisco bank, and a through tick et to that city. He "was through with all foolishness," he said; "the pen" cured him and he was going to make a fresh start. There's the makings of a man in him if ho holds to his good resolution. Some use lias been found at last for the huge piles of scrap tin reddening with rust under the several canneries. Capt. Powell is paying C5 cents a ton for the stuff to be dumped in on tho jetty now in process of construction at tho month of the river, and some enterpris ing genius is also shipping it to Portland where it is molted and made into sash weights, so they say. Anyhow he has a forco of Chinamen gathering it up and rudely moulding it into rounded chunks which stretch out in long linos on the O. K. & N. wharf. From Norway to Astoria is a long way to bring fish, but there aro a good many thousand pounds of "stock-fish" import ed from that far off kingdom every year to this place where it meets ready sale. Thero is no accounting for tastes, but there is nothing more singular in send ing to Norway for fish to eat in Astoria, than in bringing mackerel at an enor mous price when tho finest fish in tho world is slow of sale at ninety cents and a dollar a dozen cans. In this as in other things if wo of Oregon consumed more of our own products and sent less money out of tho state we would all bo consider ably better off. We send to Chicago for our lard and to Cincinnati for our hams, and do a good many more funny things like that that keop the country drained of money that could better bo kept at home. Michael Gannon has been around Portland, trying to find out whether any one saw any information in the newspa pers concerning a great legaoy reported to be bequeathed to him by a deceased relative. He did not know where the relative lived, having several uncles and brothers distributed over the world. The first he heard of the matter was while in Victoria, where ho was engaged in part nership with a lawyer thero in tho min ing business. Ho signed a paper for the lawyer, and then the latter disappeared, and was ab3ont for several months. Parties then told him that tho lawyer had hoodwinked him and had obtained through tho papor he Higned, the legacy. He dropped casually down this way yes terday and appears anxious to obtain definite information concerning the legacy. S0LVFD THE PROBLEM. Among other funny things the legis lature did last winter was to tack on the newly created county of Gilliam to the fifth judicial district and ordain that court should begin there on the first Monday in September. The fact that Clatsop county is in one end of the state and Gilliam in the other; that they are both in tho fifth judicial district; that court bogins in Clatsop county on tho first Monday in September also and that it is a woll known principle in physics that a body cannot occupy two spaces at the same time all these things combined made it a problem for Judge Taylor how he was going to arrange things so that on next Monday he could havo court be gin in Astoria and Alkali on the samo day. Happily Judge Smith of Multnomah came to the front nobly and matters are so arranged that Judge Taylor can leave this morning and hold court in Alkali on the 7th, whilo on the samo day Judge Smith will hold court here, thus solving the problem. It is hardly probablo that any other district judgo in the United States is compelled by law to have sit tings of his court begin on the same day at points three days' travel distant. Last EtcbIui; Concert. It seemed last evening as though tho performers were in ''better trim'' than on Wednesday night: it may bo that the prograramo was better, but it is certain that as a whole it was vastly more en- j jyablc. Tho singers had got all tho Seat tle smoke out or their lungs and tuougu the audience was not one-half what it was tho evening before they rendored the selections in a manner that left nothing to bo desired. It is a pleasure to hear music so grandly played and sung, and tho remembrance of the delightful f trains will bo a pleasant memory. This morn ing the company starts on tho return trip across tho continent. Dceji Water Fish. John Exon's dorp sea fishing business is a success and his arrival at the foot of Cass street is now a matter of daily oc currence. Yesterday he had a fine lot principally plaice. "A unique specimen attracted a large crowd. It was a grayish looking fish very flat, about three feet long, and two feet across, with two small fins just behind the eye, and two larger fins that stuck out liko shark's fins on either side the rounded tail. Some said it was a sunfish and that its oil would cure rheumatism; Exon said it clove through tho water with ouo fin straight up above tho surface; that it of fered considerable resistance when hooked and cried liko a calf when hauled on board. It weighs about seventy pounds. Cruise or the Hauler. From Pilot Latham it is learned that tho U. S. Steamer Ifassler which left hero for Tillamook last Sunday got thero that afternoon. Tho Ilassler has already put a beacon down toward the north end of the spit that runs up opposite Hobson ville, another opposite the mouth of Foley river on tho point by Smith's, one at the mouth of the Nehalem, and tho intention is to place ono on Kearney mountain. Survey of the bay continues. It is thought tho Jhtsler will return in about six weeks. Cli&ngc lu Lighthouse Inspector. Capt. Gcorgo T. Davis, lighthouse in spector of this district, will be relieved from servico in this district on tho first of next month. Lieutenant Uriel Sebree, instructor in tho naval academy, will buc ceod him. Capt. Drvis has beon doing land service for some time, and will like ly bo ordered to sea. After Lieutonant Sebrec's arrival, Capt. Davis will return to his old home in Greenfield, Mass,, and await the pleasure of the navy depart ment. Orcgonian. The Attouishln? Elasticity ofTrout.

Tho steamship Polynesia arrived at New York from Hamburg Friday night and reported having encountered a cy clone, during which her companion-hatch ladders and all movable articles had been washed OTcrboard. Capt. Kuhn said; "Wo sailed from Hamburg on July 2 with 210 steerage passengers, and had fine weathor until we reached the banks. On August 10 in latitude 53 longitude 53' 30", a terrific cyclone swept down on us. We wero somewha; prepared for it, how over. At 4 o'clock in tho morning the barometer stood at 31.10. By 8 o'clock, or in four hours, it had fallen to 29.C0, a half-inch. This in the summer weather means a storm, and, taking the warning, I ordered all the hatches to bo closed down and to prepare for a hurricane. The barometer still continued to fall fast. The lowest it got during tho gale was 29.10. At 10 o'clock the wind suddenly swept down on us in a perfect fury, and in a moment the sea ran mountains high. I immediately ordored the engines to stop and decided to lay to until tho oyclono had passed, feeling assured it would only last a few hours, and that if wo went ahead we should get the full force of it. Tho wind first struck us from tho southeast and the sea was lashed into n perfect fury. Wavo after wave dashed on our starboard, but we managed to keep her head in such a po sition that little harm was dono. "At 10 o'clock tho wind suddenly shift ed to t'ao southward, and a terrific breaker, looking like a huge mountain of water, broke oTer cur starboard bow. I toll you, sir, it unnerved mo for a mo ment. I havo never soon anything so ter rific I hare seen gales off Mauritius, and any ono who has been to sea knows they are bad enough, but this beat them all. Tho water fell with a crash on tho deck, knocking down the seamen who were on duty, and hurled them against the bulwarks. It swept tho deck from stem to stern, carried away a companion hatch and pourod into the cabins, caus ing a panic among the passengers, who were kept below. It knocked down the chief steward and broke his leg, and also carried away the Iaddor leading to tho spar-deck. I think if another wavo had immediately followed this we should have gone down. We got her head right od again, and continued to receive the breakers on our deck for somo timo, the wind the samo timo tearing through our rigging at a fearful rate. "At midday another huge breaker broke with full force on our bow. It car ried away a boat and the main-gaff and all moveable articles on deck. I saw that something must be dono to try and stop this, and decided to try the effects of oil. A tank of paint oil was placed on tho starboard side of the ship and the oil allowed to leak out. The effect was marvelous. It gradually spread over the water and quiotcd it right down. The oil spread over a large spaco around tho vessel and quolled the storm entirely. The cyclone lasted for eight hours, pass ing off to tho northwest." "Do you think steamers now crossing tho Atlantic will be in any way endan gered by the galo?" "No. ItonlycoTcreda small spaoe and passed away to the northwest. VVe wero on tho edge of it. The next day I no ticed several sailing -vessels with their sails and rigging torn to pieces. They had evidently received the full force of it. Wo were about 900 miles from Saudy Hook." Boston Transcript, Aug. IS. IiCTTEU BT LIUIIT.XI.MI. Mukiug butter by lightning is tho lat est craz3 of the electricians. The patent taken out for this process is very simple A pair of electrodes aro placed in a largo vessel of milk, and a current run through. Directly tho milk feels the force of the electricity, and it undergoes a curious change. Little balls of butler form upon tho electrodes and subsequently detach themselves and float to the top. Tho but tor is then collected, placed in a kneading machine, and worked up as fast as tho operator can turn tho handle. The process is much quicker than the old fashioned method of churning. The only drawback to tho butter so made is that it will not stand tho ordeal of a thunder storm. During the prevalence of any severe atmospheric disturbance the rolls of butter stand on end, give out sparks and often leap about tho place. Curiously enough this does not spoil the butter, but it is found to bo unpleasant at the breakfast or tea-table. Cheese can bo made by a similar process. It is now proposed, in order to savo time, to apply an electric milker to tho cow. This will sort the butter and the cheese as tho milk leaves the teat. The quality of the cheese is determined by tho food given to tho cow, and the strength of tho cur rent Tho most powerful currents aro required to make Limburcor, but it is not safo to make much because tho cow is always greatly exhausted afterwards, BticUlcu's Arnica Salve.

"Ye3, wo sao and hear somo curious things," said the lighthouse keeper, "and as for monotony it's enough to drive ono mad. Married men faro better, as when women and children aro around it isn't quite so lonesome; but it's bad enough. My station for a number of years was a rock about two hundred feet long and ono hundred feot wide, and in a galo of Trind tho houso stood right in the water, with thef seas rolling all around. "Yes, it was shaky. Ono night I call to mind especially. It had been blowing a gale for two days; the sea was making a clean breach over the ledge, and every timo it hit the house it would jump sixty or a hundred feet into the air and come down on the roof like rocks. On the ledge were four or five boulders that must have weighed over two tons; and tho first thing we knew one of them fel lows camo at tho door, burst it in, and in a second we were all a-swimming. The stone couldn't get in: it just stuck there, eo we took to the light and sat on the stairs, and nigh froze to death, all night. Mo and my man took turns in c'nS up every half an hour, and d'ye know, tho lighthouse swung so that you could hard ly koep your feet. I thought more than once that we'd go over, but she didn't. Tho feeling is different from most any thing else. Thero is a shaking and vi brating all the time, and then when the big gusts come you can feel the whole thing tromblo and quiver, so that you al most lose your feet. "Ono night," continued tho sneaker, "I romember somo fishermen got "blowed off shoro and camo in there, and what a night it was! About midnight someono sings out, 'Tho lamp's outP And so it was. Up wo rushed, half a dozen of us, scared to death, as ten minutes might cost a good many lives and a vessel could como within twenty foot of our house before sho struck. By tho timo wo got np wo found tho place full of smoke and seo something had fouled the chimney, and what d'yo supposo it was? You'd never guess. It was blowing fit to take the but tons off your coat; but some ono had to go outside and climb up tho rod on the very top of tho light and seo what was the trouble It was a closo call, and we tossed for it. My mato drew and started. We tied a ropo around him nnd up he went and did the job. "Ho came back alive, but with tho whitest face I ever saw on a live man. Ho said ho wouldn't do it again for love or money. "But what d'yo suppose he found in tho chimney, stuck fast? Nothing more nor less than ono of these 'ero Mother Carey's chickens, jammed in as tight as it could get, and dead, of course. Wo get regularly pelted with birds in tho night and that is the reason tho glass is mado so thick, as almost every night ono or two birds hit against it. Sometimes in the spring and fall hundreds of 'em will strike in tho course of a night. You seo at this timo tho birds aro migrating and flying off shoro along tho coast and on foggy nights they only seo tho blaze of tho light. They mako a break for it and down they go, and in tho morning the rail, iron and glass will bo all blood and feathers." lioekport, Mass., Letter. "CHUBXINU" FOIl CLIMS. Two-thirds of tho clams are got by "churning." The clam gang wades out over tho bed and shoveUs up mud and clams and everything that comes along into big wiro baskets, which, when about fall, are lifted out of the water, and a rinsing and shaking washes out tho mud and leaves tho clams. Two men and n boy attend to each basket, one man shov eling in tho mud. the second getting out tho clams, and the boy "culling" them. Churning can only be done at about half-tide, when tho water is two or throo feet deep, as, by4,ho timo the workman has to put his head under water, when he bends over at shoveling, he soon has to give up tho job. The suction on tho shovels is tremendous, and they are made exceptionally strong. When thero aro good tides, on the full and change of tho moon, tho clams may be raked out after tho manner of tho non-professional digger; a shovelful of mud is turned up at a time, and the clams it contains are raked out with a clam-hoo. Consideration of either of tho abovo methods is sufficient for a true understanding of tho happiness of the clam at high water. Tho clam ordinari ly lies in the mud from two to eighteen inches; a clam that would bury itself much deeper than eighteen inches is not to bo looked upon with favor. Provi dence Journal. Tito Yean for Bobbin? a l'ostofflco. Yesterday It. W. Cannon pleaded guilty in the United States district court to tho charge of robbing the postofneo at Forest Grove nnd was sentenced by Judge Deady to two years imprisonment in tho state penitentiary. Ho and his com nanion, young Knight, were arrested about seven montu3 ago, cnargeu witn tho crime, and havo been in jail ever since. Cannon maintained hisinnocenco until brought into court yesterday morn ing, and made a confession. Ho stated that previous to the robbery ho had been at work in Forest Grove, had been drink ing pretty heavily and his money was nearly gone. Ho mot Knight and his frionds and took drinks with them. Knight proposed they should go together into the postofSoe, saying they wero sure to find some money. Being considerably under the influence of liquor, ho went with his companions and broke into and robbed the postoffico of about $150.
