C3 3 gtottg stctratt AST01llA,'0KEG0: WEDNESDAY.... DECEMBER Jfl. 1SS5 The State is dne from California this morning. The Oregon sails. The annual meeting of the Masonic Land and Building association will be held at Capt Flavel's office at two o clock this afternoon. Company "H", O. S. M., is getting on well in the matter of drills. Some of the boys think it's about time they were getting their arms from the state. The British bark Java cleared yes terday for Queenstown with 5699 bus. -wheat, valued at $42,661. The British bark Anglo-Norman, 802. ar rived in from Brisbane. Reserved seats for Friday's per formance in aid of the Y. M. C. A. may be had at the City book store. The entertainment will be an amus ing one and the enterprise deserves substantial patronage. The hall will be comfortably warmed. At a regular meeting of Temple Lodge No. 7, A. F. and A. M., last ev ening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: E. A. Noyes, W. M.; F. W. Newell, S. W.; Wm. Chance, J. W.; M. 0. Orohby, treasurer; G. W. Lounsberry, secre tary. The new liquor law, the full text of which appeared in Sunday's Asro bian occasions considerable comment. The opinion is expressed that it, together with other legislation not specified or called for in the gov ernors message convening the special session, will be declared unconstitu tional. It is also thought that as far as this city is concerned it would be bad policy to try to upset existing conditions which appear to be mut ually satisfactory at present A comfortably warmed house, a slim audience and a splendid rendi tion of a fine drama were the chief characteristics of ""Called Back" as presented at Boss' opera house last evening. As the evening before, where all did so well praise would be invidious. To some present Chas J. Edmunds' masterly portrayal of the character of Dr. Ceneri was worthy of special note. The company is a fine one and it is-with regre it is not iced that the patronage was not more in accord with their deserts. They leave on the Oregon for San Francis co to-day. Mr. Goffj the electrician in chargo of the electric light, is busy placing the dynamo at the West Shore Mills. The work of putting up the poles is well along, and Mr. Trullinger ex pects to have the light in operation by Christmas. Several prominent citizens and busine33 men have sig nified their intention to have the light. The poles are substantial, about forty feet in bight, with spikes or bolts onJ.be side projecting, to facilitate clirAbing. With telegraph, telephone and electric light wires the streets of the city present a met ropolitan appearance. PERSONAL. Mr. J. P. Dickinson ha.s assumed the duties of deputy in the county clerk's office. Mrs. H. B. 0atni3n and daughter, of Portland, are spending a few days here visiting her nephew, J. C. Boss. A. P. Flint, for sixteen years man ager of the Pacific coast department of the Hartford Fire Assurance com pany, died at his residence in Oak land last Monday night. P0ST3I ASTER BELL. The following is self explanatery: Washington, D. C, Nov. 15, 18S5. John 0. Beltj: Postmaster general has notified me of your appointment as post master, at Astoria, Oregon, to-day. Nicholas M. Bell. The new appointee is tho father-in-law of Capt J. H. D. Gray, and is "well and favorably known through out the state. He is a kindly, agreea ble man, with a pleasant word for every one, qualities that "will not come amiss in the position to which he has been appointed. As the term of the retiring incumbent expired yesterday the new official will enter upon his new duties at once. The Astobian congratulates Col. Bell tip on his appointment. MOB EULE. The Dalles Mountaineer says: The late acts of violence in Umatilla -county cannot be justified in any civilized community. The recent killing of the man near Pilot Book, by vigilantes, and the hanging of Keatch near Adams in that county are evidences of a state of lawless ness in that section which showe little respect for courts or the lawful ly constituted authorities. In the first instance the man was in the oustody of officers who were escortiug him to Pendleton; and in the second, Keatch was being taken before an examining magistrate. There was not clear evidence that either of these two men had committed any crime against the laws of the state of Oregon, and especially crimes of that nature which are punished by death. In a community where courts are established there can be no excuse for mob rule, and the courts of Uma tilla county.aro easily accessible for the punishment of all crimes. Even in the days of California, when vig ilantes governed the wild mining camps, no culprit was punished without some opportunity given him of proving his innocence. In neither of the instances mentioned did the mob give the men any trial, but kil led them as they would a mad dog or a -wild animal. The public will do well to examine -our immense stock and get our low prices before buying elsewhere as it will be money in your pockets. Ke member the Crystal Palace will not be andereold in'anything in thelr.llne. FROM BOTH CONTINENTS. Washington, D. C Dec. 15. Sen- ator Dolph has introduced a bill for the relief of Avery Babcock and wi'e of Arizona; also for the relief of Jno. Alexander, of Oregon, for services in the Mexican war. Representative Egbert L. Viele, of New York, will introduce a bill on Monday giving Mrs. General Grant an annual pension of S3,090. There is hijrh discussion over the proposed revision of rules in the house. Bandall is determined to dej feat them if possible. There are no parly lines in the matter. HIGUTEOrS INDIGNATION. New Yobk, Dec. 15. The produce dealers of this city are indignant be cause farmers are now selling artifi cial eggs instead of the genuine, though they are pronounced to be just as good. CoL Mapleson of operatic fame has received a letter from Adelina Patti saying she will sing hero next year. He has also engaged Christine Nill son. what was nnu name? San Fkanoisoo, Dec. 15. B. J. Shay, the real estate agent shot in a restaurant about two months ago by James 0. Brown, died this morning. Brown was immediately arrested on a charge of murder. IT MAY. BE EL MAHDI. London, Dec 15. Serious news comes from the Soudan. An army of Arabs is advancing and creating the wildest excitement throughout Egypt Stephenson with threj regiments of British troops have been ordered to proceed to the front at once. UAILBOAD SUASHVTJP. Atlanta, Georgia, Dee. 15. A frightful accident occurred on the Georgia Pacific near here at mid night A train with a passenger coach and sleeper was standing on a trestle taking water when the regular passenger train running at a speed of thirty miles an hour ran into it, telescoping the rear car and making a fearful wreck. The engineer and fireman were saved. About twenty people were killed and many others injured. STABBED THBEE TIMES. New Yobk, Dec. 15. Bella Simms. a beautiful girl aged 18, was thi3 morning stabbed three times by Lewis, a discarded lover. She is now dying. EDUCATIONAL. Prof. E. B. McElrov, superintend ent of public instruction, sends the biennial report for lbbd and 1SS4, from his office. It is brougnt down to the beginning of tho present year and has finally got out of the hands of the state printer just as the year is drawing to a close. To those who take an interest in educational matters the report i3 val uable. The number of persons be tween the ages of four and twenty in the state in 1873 was 38,670: in 1851 it was 73,867. Clatpop county shows about as rapid an increase propor tionally, as any. In 1873 there were in this county 398 of tho age indicat ed: in 1SS4, 1,412. In 1874, 203 school children were enrolled in this county; in 1884 there were 738 a little more than half of the aggregate 1,412. The next Tablo "D," makes a poor show ing for this county, the "average daily attendance" being but 565. The list of those who hold life diplomas, state diplomas and state certificates is verv meager and the names of many are conspicuously absent who by reason of their positions are pre sumable holders of high educational credentials. Prof. McElroy gives a full resume of the educational condition of the state and makes several timely and practical suggestions regarding their improvement Not the least interest ing part of the report is that which embodies the reports of tho county superintendents. Some of these re ports are amusing. The superintend ent of Washington county has a level head on school matt-re. He thinks that the school superintendent should bo paid a good salary, that the stand ard of teachers' examinations should be raised: that a regular course of instruction should be adopted and followed throughout the state. Ho saye "nine tenths of the teachers are boys or girls, teaching as a tempora ry resource." "There is no arrange ment whereby one teacher can begin where his predecessor left off." kThe teacher coming to a new district be gins nowhere and ends nowhere." Two things might bo added that would add to tho efficiency of the school system of Oregen: they are prime requisites to good work. Jb irst, to pay salaries that would oommand good Eervice; second, discourage the employment of teachers whose chief aim is to "siow ohV Iiojitotc. li Ilcnith. Health is wealth.

"ASTOBIA" Thf Unique City at tho Moath of the Columbia." Sometime ago a youth to fortune and to fame unknown came canvas sing for the Northwest, a magazine edited by a man who has never lost a chance to Blur or ignore Astoria, and who has always been useful to his employers. It was announced that the December number of tho maga zine was to be resplendent with the choicest productions of pen and pen cil illustrating and describing Astoria. The skill of the artist was to vie with tho ability of the writer, and the number in question was to be to Astoria the thing we long had sought and mourned because we found it not Incidentally tho youth aforesaid bored every individ ual member of the council in an at tempt to have an appropriation made to "illustrate'' the public buildings, and, later on the chamber of com merce listened to the song of the siren concerning the advantages to be derived from "a map of the coun ty." But the city council and the chamber of commerce both felt that if any money was to be spent "illus trating" or advertising the city that it could and would be done through some other medium than the publi cation of the gentleman who two years ago characterized the city as "a hamlet" and aneeroct at its pre teusions. "The article on Astoria is to occupy the groater part of the December number:" so we were told, but took no stock in the statement Oh, lame and impotent conclusion. . The read ing matter occupies le33 than three pages, and is a rehash of old statis tics and weather beaten statements. The "illustrations" are an alleged "view of Astoria, looking toward Toueue Point, a picture of the Gen. Milesy the Astor Hone, the Clatsop Mill, John Hobson, (the best engrav ing and the best thing in the book) D. K. Warren's house, Ros3 opera house," and a "distant view." The last i3 too worst. There may be -worse pictures than that "distant view," but we have never seen them. The article says that the Astor House is situated near the O. B. & N. dock, and is the largest and best hotel in the city. Theodore Broemser must have given free board and lodging to the writer during the two hours he spent getting up the article on Astoria, though it is hard to sec how he put in his time. Everything in it has a flavor of hav ing been bought and paid for, and the only apparent reason that the ar ticle is not longer is that the patron age was not forthcoming. Like Hodge's razors that were made only to sell, the whole thing seems gotten up '"for what there is in it" Men and institutions that have done a great deal for our little city are not mentioned at all. The "article," "illustrations" and all cost the most of us nothing, and the whole busi ness is worth what it cost In pleasing contrast to the jour nalistic abortion commented upon above, is the issue of the West Shore for June 1883, -which, -without any flourish of trumpets or beating of drums gave an excellent description of our seaside city and many fine illustrations, copies of which are pre served in many Astoria homes. That useful magazine, in tho issue in ques tion, gavo three splendid views of Astoria; the public buildings, the principal business blocks and private residences, etc., were fully and fairly illustrated, and the wholo thing was done with the neatness and thorough ness that characterizes the enterpris ing publisher and proprietor of tho West Shore. Comparing the two but shows what a caricature is the pro duction of the Northwest. More than two years have elapsed. New buildings have been erected, new streets built, new residences grace the hills and business portion; the finest schoolhouse in the state out side of Portland, (the best adver tisement tho town has), Captain Fla vel's massive residence, Col. Taylor's fine new house, and fifty others that might be named, all ignored prob ably because tho owners declined to "put up." Wide Am a lie Druggi.sitt. Jlcssrs. W. E.

Over 15,270.000 feet of lumber and 22,557 tons of coal were shipped from Pnget sound ports during November. A man named Bernhardt drank three pints of whiskey at a Linkville saloon last Wednesday. His funeral the next day was largely attended. Colfax Gazette: The question of the division of Washington territory very properly meets with, little favor, either east or west of the Cascades. A Bedding, Cala., dispatch says the California & Oregon road is all completed to Slate creek, and all the construction outfit has been moved to an unknown place. The Dalles at present is overrun with idle men looking for -work of any kind. The wood sawing is done altogether by white men and tho Chi nese are having a hard time of it. The Welcome says the rivalry among the different steamboats on the Willamette has reached such a pitch that freight between Portland and Harrisburg is carried for almost nothing. The Tacoma mill company have sawed a stick of timber which plainly shows two distinct and separate hearts, one of a coarse, quick growth aud of red spruce; the other a fine olose grain, of white spruce, much older than the first Dennis McCarthy, a miner employed in i ut Union Consolidated mine at Butte, fell down tho shaft of that mine one day last week, a distance of 200 feet, and was instantly killed. Deceased was about 30 years old, and a member of the Ancient Ordar of Hibernians. A buckskin-shirted miner was in the city yesterday trying to sell a quartz ledge in Pine Creek for enongh to boy provisions for tho winter. He may be a millionaire by this time next year, but at present he is with out means. !5uoii are tho ups and' downs of a miners life. Bedrock Democrat. Boise Statesman: Capt Smith brings in word that Joo Winnemucca, brother of Chief Winnemucca, of the Piutes, was found dead last Friday at Fort McDermot, shot through tho abdomen and an empty gun lying by his side. Supposed to be suicide. Joe was a brother of Princess Sarah Winnemucca. Several parties were threateningly stopped on the streets of Spokane Falls Sunday evening by a drunken Indian armed with a revolver. The marshal took him in charge and dis covered on his person several Dottles, two of which contained lemon ex tract, the liquid on which he had ev idently fired up on. Jamea Dalgardno, Jr., of Tacoma, has manufactured a fog horn that for volume of discordant aud sonorous sound -will beat a regiment of Scotch bag-pipers. One of these has been purchased by C. F. Clapp, of Dun geness, for his sealing'schoouer, to be used by the Indians when outside of Cape Flattery in foggy weather. S. "W. Alderson, of Cole3 valley, states that an old man by the name of Grenier, living on tho Siuslaw, is the oldest resident in Oregon, having been hero sixty-five years. He is a Frenchman, and belonged to the Hudsou Bay company. As a trapper he has always been an expert. His nge is 85 years, and ho is now some what feeble. Whilo Gen. Sparks has decided that homestead claimants who have had the benefit of the pre-emption laws, cannot "commute" their home stead claims, but the commissioner is not inclined to go into the nctionsof his predecessors, nor interfere -with claims already secured, unless fraud is shown to have been perpetrated. A farmer from Copei loaned his dog to a man on Snake river to whom he had sold a flock of sheep to drive home, a distance of thirty miles. The drover found tho dog so useful, that instead of sending him home he looked him up. The dog escaped, and concluding the drover had. no more right to keep the sheep than to lock him up, he collected all that had belonged to his master and drote them home again. Yaquina Mail: Bock oysters are now being dug out of . the rocks in large quantities as the extreme low tides of the last few days enable the people to get out to the oyster rcofs, which at ordinary tides are complete ly covered with water. This kind of oyster is found in but few localities along the coast of Oregon, and are considered by visitors to Newport to be far ahead of the common oyster. An interesting question may arise when the anti-Chinese citizens of Ta coma, who were indicted by the grand jury of Clarke county, are placed on trial, as'ltf' tho validity of the jury which found against them. This jury, as we are informed, was com pos'ed cf twelve women and three men. The question may bo raised whether women aro eligible as jurors of the United States. Judge Hoyt, who is n rank woman-suffragist, doubtless thinks they are, but the su preme court of thoTJuited States may take the opposite view. ISucUlen'M Aruicu Salvr.

The regular meeting of the board of trade was held yesterday evening, Donald Macleay presiding. A communication was read from J. N. Duwer, a member of the "Washington territory legislature, stating th'at a bill to regulate pilot age on the Colombia river and its tributaries had been introduced in the house, aud asking for informa tion coucerning the pilotage laws ol Oregon so that the laws of the state and territory might not conflict. Messrs. D. P. Thompson, "Wm. S. Sibson and James Young thought that the law did not need clanging, and the secretary of the board of trade was instructed to inform Mr. Duwer to that effect A statement was read from the O. B. & N. Co. to the effect that the entire cost of dredging the Colum bia river last summer was $11,957.19. Of this amount the board of trade had paid S4.000 and the O. E. & N. Co. S7.957.19. For bearing the lion's share of the expense the O. B. & N. Co., on motion of James Young, was given a vote of thanks. Hon. D. P. Thompson offered a resolution that the board of trade endorse the memorial to congress, adopted by tha water way convention at the Dalles a few days since, and Secretary Arnold was instructed to forward copies of the same to Ore gon's representatives in congress, with instructions to use all possible means to have the rivers improved as set forth in the document. The measure was adopted. Mr. Thompson said the water way convention convinced him that there was no feeling in the interior against Portland, concerning which so much has been said. A communication -was received from Christian Leinenweber, of As toria, inclosing a complaint from Captain J. E. Campbell, one of the Columbia river state pilots. The complaint alleges that the British ship Abercorn, Captain McCallum, was obliged to lay off the bar for several days, owing to the fact that the tugs of the Columbia Biver Tug company, managed by Captain George Flavel, refused to tow her in. Finally Pilot Campbell took the Abercorn in as far as Sand is land and two tugs were secured, which towed her to Astoria. Mr. "Wm. S.- Sibson read letters from Captain Flavel, which revealed that there was jealousy between the Oregon state pilots and the tug boat management The state pilots, it seems, when they board an incoming vessel endeavor to induce tho cap tains to not patronize the tugs. Dur ing tho ensuing debate which was participated in by Messrs. Sibson, Corbett, Macleay and Dodd, it was shown that the trouble did not exist until the state pilot boat was put in service. On motion of Mr. O. H. Dodd, a resolution was passed to the effect that the board had full confidence in the management of the tug boats now operating on the bar. On motion of Mr. Dodd, "Tho im provement of the Columbia river and its tributaries, from the bar to the head of navigation," will be the sub ject to be discussed by the national board of trade. Tho secretary was also directed, on motion of Hon. H. W. Corbett, to prepare the latest com mercial statistics concerning trans portation on the Columbia and its tributaries, as -would bo useful, and forward them to the national board of trade, which meets on January 12th.
