per cent of its actual cash value. Mort
gages in that city were last year assessed
at GO per cent, of the amount; this year,
it is said, 30 per cent, comes nearer the
figure. There is where your $2,000,000
deficit comes in.
A PLEASANT EYEXIKG.
There was a sooial gathering at Mrs.
Van Dusen's hospitable residence last
evening, a sociable being hold there by
the ladie3 of Grace Episcopal church.
The spacious apartments were filled with
ladies and gentlemen. During the even
ing vocal and instrumental music was
given by some of the best musical talent
of the city.
A unique feature of tho evening was
the manner in which refreshments were
served. Eaeh lady attending tho sociable
brought a basket or box in which was
put up a delicious array of good things,
a nice little supper for twe: inside was
her card and a souvenir of tho occasion;
at a certain time in the evening when
it appeared refreshments wero in
order, these boxes wore sold to
the gentlemen, and as each gen
tleman bought a box, the card inside
told him with whom he had tho honor of
taking lunch. The buying of the boxes,
the discovery of their partners and tho
subsequent partaking of the nontents of
tho boxes, afforded considerable mirth.
It is very likely that that style of social
will be deservedly popular in Astoria this
winter. Last evening's entertainment
netted a handsome sum which will be
placed in the fund that tho ladies of
Grace church are raising to buy steam
heating apparatus for the new church,
the cornerstone of which will be laid this
afternoon.

More About tbe Sfystcrlons Drowning Lat
TnMdsy Mjht.
The item in The Astobiax of tho 10th
regarding the drowning of two men from
a sail boat in the river near Knappton,
and tho narrow escape of the third occu
pant of the boat, elicited universal in
quiry. Tho information received was
but tho vaguest outline, and the most
diligent effort on the part of this paper
has thus far failed to find the names of
the lost men. No one is missed; no
Astorian appears to havo any knowledge
of them. It is certainly one of the most
singular affairs in tho annals of the
lower Columbia. The only presumption
left is that they were total strangers,
just passing through the city. It may bo
that inquiry from their friends or ac
quaintances wherever they came from
will throw more light on what is at pres
ent a very singular episode.
Following is a letter received from tho
surviTor of the unfortunate trie: Under
date of Skamokwa, Soptember.lOtb, 1885,
he writes:
Editor Astemax: "Tuesday last, on
my way up from Ilwaco, I stopped at
your city and got my supper. As I was
about to start away two men stood on
the dock. One of them asked me where
I was bound. I told him I intended to
go to Knappton, and from there to Ska
mokwa. They then asked me if they
could get passage with me. I told them
they could, but also told them that tho
mail steamer was going up in the morn
ing. They insisted on going with me.
We started and ran across to the point
just below Knappton. when I asked one
of them to take down the sprit. The
man did as I asked him. I saw him step
on deck. When the sprit came down it
shoved the man overboard. I sprang
from the tiller, ran forward, grasped tho
mpn by the shoulder, but as the sprit of
the sail came down the end of tho boom
caught tbe water, tripping the boat,
causing the boat to lay on her side. A
squall struck tho remaining sail, which
caused the boat to fill. As I found my
self sinking, I stripped off my overcoat,
also my vest and dress coat, and swam
toward a light I saw on shore, which
proved to bo drift afire on tho beach. I
lay on tho beach about two hours, when
the boat came ashore. No men wcro to
be seen. I was not acquainted with
either of the parties. I will ba at Ska
mokwa where parties can give informa
tion in regard to tho two drowned men.
Fbank B. Huhmiston."
Mr. Hummiston's letter is of consider
able interest and is a valuable addition
to tho meagre knowledgo possessed of
the affair. Tho question now is, who
were they?

A FAMOUS GAME OF TOKEB.
Stanley Hnntlej s Extraordinary LneV at
Bismarck.
Ono of tho most famous games of
poker ever played in the northwest was
between tho lato Stanley Huntley and
Major A. W. Edwards, editor and propri
etor of the Fargo Argus. Mr. Huntley
had not been making much money out
of tho Bismarck Tribune, and when he
was taken sick and was unablo to attend
to business for several months, his affairs
became so entangled that he determined
to sell out his share in the paper. As
the Tribune was the only paper in Bis
marck nt that time, and ns there was a
strong political ring in the county, he
had hopes of disposing of his property
to the politicians; but, fearing that he
might fail to do so, he dropped a line to
Major Edwards asking him to buy his
paper. Major Edwards had made a for
tune out of his own paper, and as he was
ambitious to own more papers, he
promptly responded to the letter by
drawing $2,000 from tho bank and taking
the first train for Bismarck. When he
rtsched that city ho found that the trade
with the politicians was made, and Hunt
ley had come out of his difficulties with
several hundred dollars in cool cash. It
was several hours before tho return train
left, and, having nothing else to do, the
major suggested that they play a ganio
of poker at $5 ante.
Tho major's fame -as n poker player
was not confined alone to Fargo. Ho
was recognized throughout tbe territory
as the best player in the northwest, and
when it became noised about tho town
that he and Huntley wero to play for
largo stakes thero was no saloon in the
place largo enough to accommodate tho
crowd, and the game was moved to the
town hall over tho engino house.
The game began at noon nnd continued
until 2 o'clock, with varying success. At
last thero was a jack pot containing $200
on the table, and it was Major Edwards'
deal. When Mr. Huntley picked up his
band ho saw that ho held four queens
and an nee. Ho wai surprised. Card3
had not been running well enough to
justify such luck. Ho saw tho major
throw away ono card nnd held four.
"How much do you open it for?' asked
tho major, nonchalantly.
Huntley stopped a moment lo think
and then replied calmly:
"I don't open it."
"Well, I will," said the major.
"For how niuch?" asked Huntley.
"For $100," replied tho major.
"All right," said Huntley, throwing
away his four queens, nnd keeping his
ace, 'Til come iu. uive mo four cards."
With a glance of incredulity and pity
tho major dealt them, nnd took ono him
self.
"I'll bet $100," observed tho major.
"Raise you $100," said Huntley.
Tho major scanned his hand carefully,
looked at bis youthful adversary keenly,
and raised it back for the samo amount.
"Raise it $100 more," said Huntley.
This sort of thing continued until thero
wero $2,400 on tho table, and tho crowd
was breathless with excitement.
"I'll raise you $500,'i said tho mnjor,
"if you will trust me."
"Itather havo the cash," said Huntley.
"Will yon take this ring for that
amount?' returned the major, as he
pointed lo n magnificent soltnire dia
mond ho woro, which cost $1,000 in Chi
cago. "l'ca," said Huntley, as he saw the
raise.
"Then I'll call," said the major.
Huntley laid down his hand. He had
caught the other three aces. The major
had onlv four kings, just as Huntley had
suspected. It cost Huntley $500 to treat
tho crowd, and when tho major left for
Fnrgo it was on borrowed money.
The fame of this game spread nronnd
the territory, ami when Huntley returned
from his trip in tho northwest territory
nfter interviewing Sitting Bull, he
stopped at Fargo on his way east, and
gave Major .Ldwards back bis ring. Af
ter dinner, as Huntlev was about to take
the train for New York, tho major ac
companied by several friend, went to
the station to see him off.
"By the way, Stanley," said he, "since
yon left Bismarck they havo told some
pretty rough stories about that game of
poker wo played."
"What aro they?"
"They say that I dealt myself four
kings from n cold deck. Now, I want
you to tell these gentlemen that I played
a fair, sqnaro game."
"The major is right," said Huntley,
"he played an honest game."
"Thanks, Stanley," returned the major.
"Now I want to ask vou ono question.'
"All right."
"I want to know how in tho devil yon
ever came to discard those four qncens I
dealt yon?"
Til answer that, Major, t' said Hunt
ley, with a grim smile, "if you will tell
me how you knew 1 had four queeiH."

goods, u liich are conceded by the wise to be dear at any price, and
for which people of this day pay only a trifle less than for first-class
goods at a
ONE PRICE, FIRST CLASS HOUSE,
Which carries a Large Assortment but a Small Stock, which is kept
fresh by constant replenishing from the Eastern and Pacific Markets
