Notice To Advertisers. The Astoriax guarantees to its ad vertisers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia river. This paper is on file at the St. Charles Hotel, Portland, Or. The bark British Army sailed for Queenstown yesterday morning, Boxes for Puget sound canning es tablishments are among Astoria's ex ports. Returning sportsmen report great success in their onslaughts on fur, fin and feather. A 300 lb sturgeon got up as far as Portland last Thursday, where it was caught and sold for SL50. The Telephone comes down to-day, returning at two p. ir. This will be her last Saturday trip of the season. E. C. Holden will have an auction sale this morning at 10:30 a. m. m. of second hand furniture, and a bankrupt stock of clothing, etc. About fifty laborers, principally Chinese, were sent up from Sacra mento, GaL, last Thursday, to work upon the extension of the California & Oregon railroad. The Idaho is due from Alaska to day. She has $82,000 in gold aboard from the Alaska mines. Senator Jonos, of Nevada, and family, are among the passengers. Nearly 1,000 tons of Oregon fruit have been shipped to the east this season, as a sort of return compli ment for the bacon, lard and other combustibles sent out this way. The little fleet that catches salmon trout and torn cod, in the stream numbered eighteen yesterday, strung along from a point opposite Booth's cannery to the "West Shore mills. The case between Jos. and Ban. Holladay was taken up before Judge Stearns in Portland last Thursday. There is a noble array of counsel on each side, including District Attor ney Gearin. Six burglaries and petty larcenies in Seattle in a few days, makes the Post-Intelliyenccr tell the police that unless step3 are taken to rid the place o them, the citizens will take the matter in hand. County Surveyor Parker, and Messrs. Spodden, Brailier and Stone, started at Skipanon landing last Thursday to view the Clatsop road. Their progress this way is necessarily slow, owing to the tide. Sewers are being built on Benton street from Seventh street to the river. The money paid to the city by property owners will build some of them; 'tis said that toward Concomly street the estimate will fall short of the actual cost. At the annual election of the I. S. N. Co. held last Thursday, L. A. Iioomis, H. S. Gilo, J. H. D. Gray, L W. Case, and B. A. Seaborg were elected board of directors; JJ. A. Loomiswas re-elected president, J. R Goulter, secretary, L "W. Case, treasurer. Jonathan Palmer, living near Cen tralia, Lewis county, "W. T., was caught in the horsepower of a thresh er last Monday, and was so badly mangled that the amputation of one of his legs was necessary. The shock was so crreat that ho did not over come it, and Thursday morning he died in great agony. In Garfield county, W. T., there are 727 single men and onlj 6S married women. The Glenwood Echo says: We want girls in Garfield county, blondes, brunettes, tall, short, fat, lean, jolly girls girls who can ride in carriages, play the piano, make crazy quilts, sew, wash, iron and cook for us. We are G69 girls short here, and we want all the girls to know it Concerning increased mail facilities it is thought well to have the present service expedited so that the mail route time between hero and Portland should be eight hours, and also to put on a night mail route o twelve hours between the two cities. It is argued that a night boat would carry a good many passengers who can poorly afford the loss of time involved by a day ride. A satisfactory result of the start ing of the work of improving the Co lumbia at Ft. Stevens, is the fact that the workmen employed in building the jetty have not been able to get to low water. The spit makes out as fast as the jetty is extended. It is to be hoped a liberal appropriation from congress next winter wm enaoie ino work to go on with increased vigor next season. A recent sale of 10,000 case3 salmon. Flag brand, is reported at 93 97 J cents, last of the season's pack under that brand. There is very little in first hands on the river; not since '76 was there so light a quantity on manufacturers' hands as at. present. The British Columbia pack is 108,500 cases or wmcu oy,ouu cases wore canned on the Fraser river and 19,000 on the Skeena and other rivers. Common justice to the service sug gests that the new lighthouse tender, the Madrona, should be sent hero instead of to San Francisco. The statement that she is "too large" is ridiculous. The probability is that she is not large enough. This dis trict comprises a long sweep of coast, with over 200 buoys to look after: tho San Francisco district only embraces the vioinity of San Francisco with less than fifty buoys. The Madrona, by right, should come to tho Colom bia river. "WENT OUT. Presumably For a Little Country Exercise. About four o'clock yesterday morn ing Thompson and Gray, confined in cell No. 1, on the right hand side in the alleged 10,000 corn crib situated on the court house lot, went out and at last accounts were still out which shows excellent judgment on their part Thompson was indicted last January, but got away and was ar rested but a few days ago. Gray was held in default of bonds to appear be fore the grand jury that didn't con vene on the 7th insL, to answer to a charge of larceny. This makes seven prisoners that have escaped since last May. The two that went out yester day morning took a six foot piece of two-inch plank, which they found conveniently in the floor of their cell, and pulled out the lock and stan chion that was on the door of their cell. Then the' took half a dozen big stones that they found under the two-inch plank and pried open the grating on tho corri dor. After that it was very easy to spring the bolt on the iron door that led to the vestibule; tho front door was probably opened with a tooth pick. The onty reason the twelve others who are "in jail" didn't go was because they didn't want to. Tho morning was a chilly one, and to go out withont their morning coffee would have been rash. Thompson and Gray coaxed them to come on, but they didn't feel that way. Their conduct in refusing to go out was praiseworthy; some protection is due them, lest at any time some evil dis posed person should see fit to break in upon them iu their defenceless state. The door of the private boudoir to tho right of tho vestibule stood invitingly open and one of the depart ing gentlemen took time to sample the contents of a trunk that was firmly protected by menus of a clothes line, abstracting therefrom a suit of clothes and two shirts. Every thing connected with the departure was conducted with leisnre and a duo regard to tho decorum due the occa sion, it may ie saiu tnat luessrs. Thompson aud Gray might havo re placed the boulders aud the two-inch plank in tho cell they vacated, bnt yet. too much can not bo expected from gentlemen who for obvious reasons wished to be spared the annoyance of observation. Since tho escape of the five prison ers last May tho inmates of the crib have been locked in their cells, to tho faulty construction of which is due tho repeated and successful ef forts to escape. When Deputy Sheriff Moffetl and two or three visitors were looking at the premises yesterday morning, upon coming ont, it took the aid of three of tho inmates to close the grating from the inside, they obligingly helping to lock them selves in. Their continued residence in the concern seems to bo more a matter of choico than necessity, and reflects great credit on the gentleman who has the contract for boarding them. Y. 31. C. A. Last eveniug's social at the Y. M. C. A. rooms was in every way a suc cess. C. A. Hanson, the president of the association, opened with a few preliminary remarks, followed by E. C. Holden, who gave a terse descrip tion of tho aims and purposes of the association in the practical work of the fall and winter. Solos were sung by Mrs. G. F. Parker, Miss Agnes Garner, D. A. Mcintosh aud W. T. Ross, Miss Nellie Flavel, accompanist. A recitation was delivered by Miss Pearl Holden. Eighteen signified their inteution to join the evening classes which begin next weelc. Carlos Mann will take charge of the class in mathematics, Dr. Martin the class in bookkeeping, and J. T. Ross the class in short hand. Thieves at Work. The residence of Mrs. Dnnbar was entered last Thursday evening before nine o'clock and SS0 in money be longing to a servant girl stolen. The thief also took a felt hat As jails do not seem to be any protection it stands people in hand to look out and when anyone is caught he should be summarily dealt with. The fellow that robbed Spexarth's gun store a few nights ago said he came down from Portland, by way of Kuappa with two companions in a boat and they separated at Tongue peint: the two others may be heard from. At a special meeting of the Astoria Ladies' coffee club last evening, Mrs. J. W. Humewas elected president, Mrs. F. Prael, vice-president, Mrs. W. J. Barry, secretary, Mrs. L Bergman, treasurer. The following named la dies were elected board of directers: Mrs. I. Bergman, Mrs. J. G. Charters Mrs. C. H. Bain. The members of the club deserve credit for their zeal in their gratuitous work in aid of the Astoria fire department, of which the coffee club is an important adjunct.

IRELAND ON ADVERTISING. Referring to an article from an Al bany contemporary lately, concerning advertising, perhaps not more than one man in twenty in business in a town like McMinnville, for instance, fully understands why he is under ob ligations to the local paper. If they regarded their local newspaper in the proper light, their patronage would be doubled, and, as a result, the average country newspaper would attain a point of excellence far in advance of its present position in journalism. There is a mistaken idea among business men in regard to placing an advertis ment. When asked for an advertise ment the merchant will reply: "It does no good; everybody around hero knows me and what I keep, and mon ey paid out in this way is thrown away," etc. Now, if these men could but realize the ungratefulness of such answers and tho shallowness of such an argument, they would never make use of them. We do not claim that a merchant creates a demand for goods by advertising them. It is not ex pected that a farmer will rush to a store and buy something he does not wantbecauso he sees it advertised. This is not the idea. But we insist that people do read the ads. If you do not believe it; just insert in the most obscure ad. in the paper a very small line saying, for instance, as suggested by the Albany paper, that you have a house a lot for sale at $10, and see how quickly you will hear from it Admit then, that everybody reads tho advertisements buyers will patronize the man who uses printer's ink iupreferenco to tho man who don't Tho business man who gives tho newspaper a liberal patronage is always regarded as tho best man to deal with. People arguo that a man who is liberal to a newspaper will be liberal in a like maner with his cus tomers. The name of a man who is a -constant advertiser becomes a honsehold word, and ho is naturally sought after. Thoro aro many other reasons why a newspaper man has a right to expect patronage from the business men of the town. Every public sale gets a freo advertisement in tho paper: every social gathering is augmented through tho newspa per, a thousand things which trans pire to bring people to town are giv en publicity through the local pa per. The oftener people con gregate in town, tho better for the business men. The local paper is always speaking a good word for tho town and people; always throwing out little hints that bring good men aud good money into tho place, aud performing a thousand and ono other duties that put money into the pockets of many who, in turn, do nothing for its support Gentlemen look at these things from an honorable standpoint Donate nothing, but bo fair enough to reim burse the priuter for actual service rendered. People naturally, and just ly, feel proud ot a first-class local pa per, but there can be none such where public spirit is not manifest. Mc Minnrille Reporter, 21. Astoria Steamers. Wilson & Fisher shipped eight tons otflour on the South liend last Thurs day and twenty-five yesterday on tho Kate and Anna to Shoalwaler bay; the Tohi. Morris ia building up a nice little trade on Young's river; the Annie is also running on tho same route; the Lilian and Novelty ply bo tween hero and Kuapptou, the Union and Improvement go to Gray's river, the Gleaner, Gen. Custer aud other steamboats being always on hand for raft towing, etc. The Mountaineer has a fine trado between here, Ivnap pa, Westport, Cathlamet and way points. These little boats are o im portance to Astoria as the means ot building up a trade with our coast and river neighbors. Help in Need. On Saturday tho Politkosky found the steamer Yakima in a disabled condition offLipsip Point, she having broken her shaft The wind was blow ing, the wator was lough, aud the Yakima was rapidly drifting on to a rock-bound shore, when Captain Frank Smith of the Polly sighted her and hastened to the rescue just in time to save her from destruction. "Did you charge tho Yakima any thing captain?" asked the writer. "Not much," replied Captain Frank. "I might get into a snap myself some time. A person cau never tell when it will be his turn next" Post-Intel-liyencer, 22. Imported Ideas and Breeches. At the outbreak of the civil war Fer nando Wood expressed public opin ion faithfully when he suggested that New York should become a freo city and stay neutral in the coming struggle. So now New York take3 the English and not tho American view of the silver question. New Yorkers import their ideas as they import their breeches from London. Tho ideas, like tho breeches, may be good of their kind. S. F. Chronicle. 21. Duplicates Sent. St. Helens, Or., Sept 24, 1885.

A new industry is to be started at Friday Harbor, on San Juan island, by Portland capitalists. It will be an establishment for the manufactur ing of fish oil, fish glne, guano, and also for pickling fish. The object is to make all possible use of the fish which abound in Puget sound waters for commercial purposes, as for in stance: Oil and glue will be made from herring, dog-fish and cat-fish; salmon will be salted; halibut will be dried and smoked, glue cau be made from the heads of all fish. The fac tory will be complete with first-class machinery for this purpose, so that every part of a fish and all kinds will be utilized. Two of the gentlemen who will form part of the company, Messrs. Habersham and Bell, of Port land, were in the city a few days dur ing the week, and while here con tracted with the Townsend mill com pany for 50,000 feet of lumber, which will be used for the buildings at Fri day Harbor. Mr. Bell stated that af ter making inquiries about purchas ing material, he found that lumber could be bought at Port Townsend and shipped from here at less cost than from any other port on the Sound. The lumber will be loaded on a scow and towed to San Juan island by ono of our local steamers. Mr. Bell went down to Friday Har bor on the Queen City on Thursday, where he will remain and superintend the construction of tho works. Mr. Habersham returned to Portland. Port Townsend Call. HOLLADAY VERSUS nOLLADAY. The state circuit court, department No. 2, was crowded with legal talent yesterday, many of whom had assem bled out of curiosity to hear the re port of the referee in the now cele brated case of Benjamin vs. Joseph Holladay. Ben. is represented by Messrs. H. Y. Thompson, C. B. Bell inger and George H. Durham, while Joe's interests aro in the hands of Messrs. Strong & Strong and Russell J. Wilson. The property in litigation is worth about $1,000,000. Messrs. Gilbert & Gearin represent the state in a side issue in tho litiga tion. Tho allege that the noto for S163,000 made by Ben. Holladay to Joseph was usurious, for the reason that the interest of 12 per cent, per annum was compounded monthly. The noto bears a San Francisco date, but the attorneys for the stato claim that this makes no difference. Under the laws of Oregon the whole amount of tho note, minus 10 per cent, goes to the Multnomah county school fund, if tho usury is proven. The 10 per cent. goe3 to Mr. Gearin for pros ecuting tho case. The tostimony cov ers over 900 pjges, and it is antici pated that the trial will not be con cluded until Monday next.

That fact lays in tho shade the other ono that the company is over a mill ion dollars in debt Standard, 25. A TRINCE EDWARD ISLAND GIRL. The kind of girl they grow in Ro3e valley, Prince Edward island, is illus trated by the following incident, which took place at Bredalbane last week: Ono of the fair maids of tho valley drove in a single wagon and pulled up in front of a store occupied by a well-known oat speculator. She gracefully alighted from tho vehiclo and inquired tho price of flour. The proprietor was standing in front of the store in conversation with a num ber of friends. He pointed to a bar rel of flour on tho platform, and said: Miss M , if you put that barrel of flour in your wagon you can have it for nothing." It is known that the gentleman who made this reply is not given to charity or liberal with his fair share of the world's goods, and his astonishment and dis gust may be more easily imagined than described when tho fair maid of Rose valley gripped the barrel and landed it clean over the front wheel into the body of the wagon, took her seat upon it, and thanking the mer chant for his kindness, drovo off amid the cheers of those who witnessed the act Toronto Mail.
