Begarding a book entitled "Interi
or World," a romance tending to
show that the world is hollow, the
local philosopher of the Oregonlan
says it may be a correct theory, but
in these hard times a man is more in
terested in the constantly recurring
vacuum in his stomao-h." If a man
can keep his stomach comfortably
filled he need not care if the world is
as hollow as a drum.
The Chinese have been having a

fairness of Wat Ho in a game of
chance and skill, and carved a piece
of Wat Ho's groin with a fierce look

The postmaster-general has decided
that the department is under no ob
ligation to deliver mail thrown into
its box by Wells, Fargo hereafter.
They have canceled their stamp, and
postmasters have been requested to
refuse such matter. It appears that
it has been the practice of the ex
press company to transport letters as
far as their lines extend, and then
place them in tbe United States mail
for delivery, where the points of des
tination is beyond the limits of their
own service.

Some doubt being expressed as to
the correctness of TnE Astokiax's
statements yesterday regarding the
Ohio election, the most authentic
source was telegraphed to yesterday
from tbis office. The following is
tbe answer received: "Foraker un
doubtedly elected: legislature close
and in doubt" The Astoriax, like
any other newspaper, is liable to be
mistaken in its beliefs or in its ex
pression of independent opinion, but
it makes no misstatements as to facts.
In tbis regard it furnishes a contrast
to some of its critics.

OLD TDIES.
Early Sutlers and Settlements on Clatsop
Plain Indian Legends of the
lnnj Aso.
It W. Morrison, came with the
emigrant party of 1841 and settled on
Clatsop plains in January of the fol
lowing year, and has lived on the
same farm from that lime since.
When Mr. M. settled here, says the
Northwestern Farmer and Dairy
man, be met several old Indians who
saw Lewis and Clarke at the time
these explorers were in this part of
the country. From the accounts of
Lewis and Clarke, a largo Indian
population lived on the plains and in
the country adjacent, consisting of
representatives of many tribes. In
several localities, notably on Mr.
Morrison's place, and also near tbe
Seaside bouse there are found de
posits of clam shells with a slight in
termixture of soil, sometimes several
rods in extent and two to four feet or
more in depth. These deposits are
sometimes found several hundred
yards from tbe ocean beach. It is a
matter of conjecture whether these
deposits are natural accretions from
clam beds that may at one time have
existed there, or were carried by In
dians with clams to their villages, and
afterwards thrown in beans outside
their wigwams. The latter supposi
tion is most likely the true one, as
human bones have also been recently
found imbedded in the beds of shells.
At the time Mr.M. went to tbe plains
to settle, N. A. Ebennan. W. W. Ray
mond and Hon. Tuo. Hobson, now
collector of customs, being about tbe
onlv white men there. Mr. Raymond
who came over the Columbia river '
bar in 1810 in the ship Jmushuuv,
was at Salem two years, and while
there had charge ol the construction
of the first saw mill at that place.
The following year, 1841, grist mill
attachments and apparatus were add
ed to tbe mill. The burrs used were
small being only sixteen inches in di
ameter aud were ruu almost con
stantly night and day to meet the re
quirements of tbe settlers. In 1S12
Mr. Raymond went to Clatsop plains
and built tbe first frame bouse built
tbere, of lumber bought of the Hud
son Bay company at Vancouver, and
brought down the Columbia river on
an outward bound vessel, and thrown
overboard some distauce above tbe
bar and picked np by Indians in their
canoes and taken ashore. A cart
made in Salem, by J. L. Parrisb was
received by tbe same vcssl" bringing
tbe lumber, and together with a horse
brought down the Columbia river in
a bateau, and the first one on the
tbe plains, was used in hauling the
material for tbe house, several miles
down the beach, and a short distance
inland to the building apot located
on the place now belonging to John
Loomis but first taken, or at least a
portion of it for tbe Methodist mis
sion, with the object of establishing
a Mission for tbe benefit of tbe Clat
sops, Cbinooks, Tillamooka, and Ne
halems, either living on the plains or
at times making that country their
rendezvous. Mr. Raymond is still
living on the plains, about one-half
mile from the site of tbe mission
building of which about tbe only relic
now left is some ceiling boards now
in use in Mr. Loomis' dwelling bouse.
Solomon Smith, now deceased, set
tled on the plains at an early day
taking as bis wife a Clatsop Indian
maiden by the name of Sylyast Gobi
wa, now a very aged woman. Mr.
Smith came from Boston in 1S32
overland, with the Capt N. Wyetb
trading expedition, and on arrival in
Oregon, first went to tbe Willamette
vallev, remaining tbere several years.
W. V. Raymond states that Mr.
Smitb'togetber with Ewiug Young,
built the first sawmill in the Willam
ette valley, locating it at or near the
Cbebalem creek, in the country near
ly opposite Chumpoeg. Mr, Smith is
said to have brought the first cattle
to tbe Clatsop plains, bringing them
from tbe Willamette valley, and tak
ing them into the country by way of
what is now known as the Grande
Ronde agency or district thence on
through Tillamook to the coast aud
following that northward. Mrs.
Smith is still living on tbe old home
stead near her son, Silas B. Smith, an
intelligent man now engaged in dairy
ing and stock raising on the plains.
Mrs. Smith, her son Silas acting as
interpreter, related a number of m
teresting things concerning the Clat
sop country, and its settlement by the
aborigines, particularly the tribe of
Clatsops. The coming of tbe tribe
to the plains, and whence these peo
ple came is only a matter of tradition.
The tradition is that Tablipas, a great
and superior being, yet inferior to
Ecarni, by which name the Great
Spirit, or Supremest being ias ever
known among them, brought tbe tribe
of tbe Clatsops over to their beauti
ful billowy plains, aud said to them.
"Here I give you tbis country,
KshlaUsup." But Tablipas did not
stop merely with the gift to them of
the country, bnt he went further and
taught the Indians bow to bunt, to
fish, to make canoes, and cross the
waters, and also taught them bow to
weave nets, and bow to make fire hf
rubbing stioks together, and in fine,
taught them how to live.
Tbe term "Clatsop," the spelling
"Kslrtattiup") above given being very
near to tbe sound of tbe word as
spelled except that the aspirate sound
of tbe Greek letter corresponding to
Iv more nearly represents the sound of
the initial letter. The term Ksblat-
sup is pronounced with a longer
pause than usual between the sylla
bles almost as two words. The aged
Indian woman Mrs. Smith, says that
the word Kshlatsup is the Indian
name undefiled, and was handed
down from father to son from gener
ation to generation, as the name by
which that part of the country was
known. She says that a long time
ago the main land on the south side
at the mouth of the Columbia river
extended out in a wide strip to or
near to a sand island, and that this
stretch of ground was covered with
trees. An Indian burying ground ex
isted on one part of it. That in, timo
tbis ground washed away, destroying
the resting places of the dead, to tbe
great lamentations of the living.
That a long time ago these plains
themselves, particularly toward the
northern end, extended farther out
to sea than now, that of the five main
high billowy ridges of land ex
tending through the plains and
along the sea one only remains
Observations within recent years
are evidence of inroads by the
sea on the outside of the spit Mr.
Raymond says that when he first
came to the plains, a person several
miles south of the mouth of the
Columbia river, and looking north
along the beach was unable to see
Cape Hancock on account of the shore
trending much further seaward than
at present, and covered with trees.
Tablipas the superior being who ac
cording to tbe belief of the Indians,
brought them hither and gave them
the country, was a being who while
watching over them was always sure
to punish the bad, as well as to re
ward tbe good Indians, that in
punishing the wicked Indians they
were sometimes changed into inani
mate objects. According to Indian
tradition or mythology, the Till
amook rock with its smaller attend
ant rocks at times peering above tbe
waves shoreward from the main rock
are cited as an iustanco of the punish
ment of a wicked and presumptions
Indian who with his family disregard
ing tbe teachings of Tablipas, pre
sumed and essayed to wade the mighty
river of the deep, and were by Tab
lipas changed into stone, standing
through ages as monuments of their
punishment, and as a warning to
others not to try to abrogate them
selves superior powers. Pillar rock
on the lower Columbia, and Maiden
rock, standing in tbe waters of the
Columbia off the Chinook Point, it is
said are cited by tradition, as result
ing from Tablipas' manifestations of
anger in tbo latter case against an
Indian maiden for bathing in too
public a manner, before the end of
the period during which ablutions
were to be performed with a certain
degree of privacy an d in the former
against a warrior who arrogant and
presumptions, disregarding the cus
toms or bis forefathers in the use of
canoes in their journeyings over the
deep waters of the Columbia, at
tempted to ford by wading and was
changed to stone.
DROWXr.5) AT UPPER TOWN.
Jno. Emerson was drowned at up
per Astoria about half past fivo yes
terday afternoon under peculiar cir
cumstances. He wa,s standing with
three or four other men on the dock
of tbe Fishermen's Packing Co.'s
premises when some one called to
him that his boat was loose. The
boat was only a few yards from shore
and the wind was setting it in. There
were other boats close by any one of
which could havo been apparently
used, bnt he ran to the side of the
dock aud made a jump, intending to
light in his boat and bring it ashore.
He missed the boat and fell in the
water. He rose and shouted for help,
but before assistance could reach him
he was drowned. He leaves a wife
and two children. Two brothers live
in the vicinity of his place near Al
derbrook. He was about 35 years of
age. Tbe body bad not been recov
ered last evening.
Rirthd.iv Party.
When C. C. Uiziuger went as usual
to the baud room of Cashing Cornet
band last evening to practice,
be was surprised to find no light, and
everything apparently still and de
serted. He was still more surprised
when, at a given signal, the room was
flooded with light disclosing tbe en
tire band standing around a well
filled table on which was a hand
somely served supper. Tbe boys bad
taken tbis occasion of marking their
appreciation of their band leader on
his 30th birthday, and the surprise
was complete. A large party of la
dies and gentlemen were present and
a very pleasant evening was spent by
tbe band and their invited guests.

EUROrEAX WAR NOTES.
CoxstaktinopiiE, Oct. 14. The
porto is awaiting the final reply of the
powers before taking decisive astion.
A portion of the cabinet recommend
recognition of the Bulgarian union;
others are of tbe opinion that Greece
and Servia will remain tranquil if the
union is not recognized. The mili
t ary party, -viewing the silence of the
powers, assign that they are unagreed
as to what course to pursue. They
urge that Bulgaria be invaded; that
the great Balkans be occupied; that
the Bulgarian town of Widda be giv
en to Servia. in order to weaken
Bulgaria and conciliate Servia,
and that the districts of Hermaub,
Haskauli and Pomakbe seized as
war indemnity. The sultan hesitates
between these divergent counsels,
leaning rather to a policy of concili
ation. Meanwhile military prepara
tions are unabated. Krupp has been
urged to hasten the delivery of guns,
payment of which has been guaran
teed. Everything indicates an early
invasion of Bulgaria.
In leading.Turkish circles the opin
ion is expressed that a majority of
tho powers are inclined to refuse to
recognize the Bulgarian union, as
they consider that that course would
be at least dangerous to European
peace. The Marquis do Noailles,
French ambassador, and Herr von
Kadowitz, German ambassador, ex
press astonishment that the Turkish
government did not send troops to
eastern Boumelia at the beginning of
the trouble. Other foreign ministers
are less outspoken.
Great activity prevails in military
circles throughout Turkey. Troops
are being hastily armed and. equipped
for immediate service. The sultan has
determined to fight against further
dismemberment of Turkey, and large
bodies of troops are being rapidly
concentrated on the frontier at strat
egical points, within easy marching
distance of Bulgaria. Grecian and
Servian troops, horses and field guns
are being dispatched to the front
night and day. The Moslems are
enthusiastic, and volunteering in
large numbers. A conspiracy has
been discovered at tho palace which
has led to the exile of Said Pasha, ex
grand vizier.
Count Corti, tho Italian ambassa
dor, presided at tbe Boumelian con
ference to-day. The ambassadors
sent their respective dragomans to in
form the porte that they had agreed
to condemn the violation of the Ber
lin treaty by the union of Boumelia
and Bulgaria, and they approved the
pacific attitndo of the porte.
Sir H. D. Wolff, special British en
voy to Turkey and Egypt, is about to
leave Constantinople with six Turkish
delegates, to open an investigation at
Cairo. They will aim at civil, mili
tary aud financial reform.
Loxdok, Oct It The hopes enter
tained last night of a peaceful settle
ment of the Boumelian question have
been shattered this morning by re
ceipt of a dispatch from Constantino
ple, stating that the conference has
formally declared that tho porte has
disavowed tho Bulgaria-Boumelia
union. Further news is awaited with
considerable anxiety.
It is reported that Kiug Milan of
Servia, has informed the powers that
he must either go to war or abdicate
bis throne, and that he bas decided
to go to war. He bas prepared a
manifesto to his army, which it is ex
peeled will be issued to-morrow.
He Knew the Me.v.enser.

DEATH OF "JOSH BILLINGS."
Mohtehey, Oct 14. H. W. Shaw,
better known as "Josh Billings," died
here to-day at the Hotel del Monte,
from a stroke of apoplexy. De
ceased was born in Lanesborough,
Mass., and was aged 67 years. He
recently paid a visit to the Pacific
coast for his health. In the course
of his stay at various places he de
livered a number of lectures. The
body has been embalmed, and will be
sent east.
About 9:45 this morning Dr. Heintz
was summoned to the Hotel del
Monte to attend "Josh Billings," who
was sitting in a chair in the vesti
bule, apparently enjoying the be3t of
health. When the physician arrived
he complained of a severe pain in the
chest, and remarked: "My doctors
east ordered rest of brain," and
added, throwing back bis long hair,
"but you can see I do not have to
work my brain for a simple lecture;
it came spontaneously." While he
was talking he suddenly threw his
hands over his head, and fell back
wards unconscious. He was carried
to his room, and at the end of three
minutes life was extinct. His wife,
who accompanied him on his trip to
the Pacific coast, was with him dur
ing the last moments. The face has
retained a perfectly natural expression
and bears no indication of pain. He
was to have lectured here Friday for
tho benefit of the Good Templars.
At the hotel he had made himself a
general favorite by his good-natured
ways.
DEATH OF CAPT. JOHN WOLF.
Shortly before 12 o'clock last night
Capt John Wolf, tho veteran steam
boatman, died at his residence on tho
corner of North Eighth andB streets.
Ho had been ill for about six weeks
with a complication of heart disease
and indigestion, but seemed to be
improving a week ago. Three days
ago he became weaker, and while it
was feared he could never recover,
his death was not expected so soon.
The end was very peaceful and ap
parently without pain.
Capt Wolf reached his 64th year on
the 21st of last April. He had been
in steamboat service on the Willam
ette and Columbia for tbirty-threo
years, most of tho time between Port
land and the Cascades. He was the
oldest officer in tho O. S. N. and O.
R. & N. company's river service, and
no master was more careful or po-
sessed more skill. Until the railroad
superseded tho steamboat, tho entire
traveling public knew the quiet,
steady captain, and a great many
oiu resiuents wnen tneir eyes eaten
tho heading of this item will feel a sort
of personal loss in tho death of this
good and honest man. He leaves a
wife and three daughters, one of them
married to Mr. John Klosterman, the
other two single: Financially, the
family is left in comfortable circum
stances. Oreyoman,15.

A Woman's Wit.
Many of the first settlers of Illinois
were rude in speech and rough in
manner. Money was "scarce with
them, and service was paid for in
produce. Governor B illustrated
these incidents of frontier life by the
following anecdote :
One day there came to his office a
young man accompanied by a young
woman.
"Be you the squire?" asked tho
manly vouth.
"Yes; sir."
"Can you tie tbe knot for us right
away?"
"Yes, sir."
"How much do you charge?"
"One dollar is the legal fee, sir."
"Will you take your fee in bees
wax?" . "Yes, if you can't pay tbe cash."
"Well, go ahead and tie the knot,
and I'll fetch in the wax."
"No," said the 'squire, thinking
there was a good chance for a little
fun; "bring in the beeswax first, and
then I'll marry you."
Reluctantly tho youth went out to
where was hitched the horse upon
which, Darby and Jean fashion, they
had ridden, and brought the wax in
s sack. On being weighed its value
was found to be only sixty cents.
"Wal," said tho anxious groom,
"tio the knot and I'll fetch more wax
next week."
"No, sir, I don't trust; that is
against the rules of this office."
"Slowly the disappointed youth
turned to go out, saying, "Come, Sal,
let's go."
"I say, mister," answered Sal,
with a woman's wit, "can't you
marry us as far as the wax will co?"
"Yes, I can and will," replied tho
'squire, laughing; and he did.
