The first Eve didn't have any. Mr. W. E. Warreu will be assisted by Mr. limes ijbe great bicycle rid ing at tiie riuirnext Saturday eve. The Oregonian reports canvasback aucks worth y.50 a dozen in Port laud. They are scarce all over this season. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will have a necktie social at the residence of Mrs. Fred Sherman this evening. All are "welcome TheChekalis Vidette thinks "it is hih time the department was doing away with the carrying of mail in a a plunger over Shoalwater bay." A meeting is called for eight o'clock this evening ai me gymnasium, next to JefFs Telephone saloon, to take action regulating the late liquor law imposing 300 license. Delegate Voorhees has introduced a bill in congress appropriating $15, 000 for a light house at Gray's harbor. The measure is a needful one and should receive congressional sanc tion. Next Saturday evening at the skating rink Wm.E. Warren will give an exhibition of fancy bicycle riding. Skating at the usual hour. Cushing Cornet baud will play some fine music. Admission, twenty-five cents. A private telephone line is being built from Cape Hancock to Oyster Tille, and will shortly be completed, when Astoria can have almost instant communication with that portion of Pacific county via telephone and mil itary telegraph. The revival meetings being held in the M. E. church are growing in in terest notwithstanding the unfavor able weather. Four persons rose for the prayers of the church last evening. Tho meetings continue all this, and possibly all next week. The Olymjiian, a companion vessel to the Alaskan, lying at Tacoma, will, says the Oregonian, soon be brought around to Portland where she can lie in fresh water, and thus prevent accumulation of barnacles, till next summor when she will re sume the Victoria route. What is believed to be small pox has made its appearance fifteen miles west of Walla Walla. It is said that the family in which it has developed have lately arrived from Montreal, where tho disease has been especially virulent. It is to be hoped the scourge may be checked before it spreads. Any one that'thinkB "the silver dol lar is only worth 78 cents" can get 80 cents apiece for all the silver dollars he will bring to this office. Our busi ness hours are from one o'clock in the morning to midnight In rolls of twenty or more 85 cents will be paid. To those who think that way, this will be a softer snap than buying county orders at 93. The newspaper war at Tacoma, which has been going on since the expulsion of the Chinese, culminated laBt Tuesday in a fight between Mr. Comerford, of the News, and Mr. Spofford, of the Ledger. The weap ons used were umbrellas. Daring the fray Mr. Comerford slipped and fell, sustaining severe injuries from his own umbrella, the handle of which almost punched out his eye. It will thus be seen that umbrellas are total ly unreliable in affairs of this kind. The account of the fracas indicates a departure in every way from the us ual time honored procedure in such cases, the customary weapons pro ducing more effective and, on the whole, more satisfactory results. The installation of the newly elect ed officers of Cushing Belief Corps took place at their rooms last Wednesday afternoon. The follow ing named ladies were installed: President, Mrs. Hattie E. Cooper; senior vice president, Mrs. Sarah J. Clinton; junior vice president, Mrs. Irena Parker; secretary, Mrs. Mary E. Davidson; treasurer, Mrs. Ida Bergman; chaplain, Mrs. Julia M. Brodie; conductor, Mrs. Cynthia Ferchen, assistant conductor, Mrs. Maggie Wright; guard, Mrs. S. J. Boss; assistant guard, Mrs. Kate Montieth. The Corps intend to give a calico ball next Wednesday evening, the 20th inst., due notice of which will be given. There will be another meeting of the Corps to-morrow af ternoon. Yesterday was a sort of prize puz zle as regards weather. The opening overture at daybreak was clear skv, song of birds; then came gentle zephyrs and sunlight on the fir tops and shifting azure and gold and em erald and all that. About eight it started to rain and did, and then came hail, and then a blast of wind from the southwest. About ten the sun shone out again and dodged the clouds till noon when the ram began again but let up in time to give the usual rainbow matinee on the river. At sunset the wind whisked round to the northeast and after a little more hail snow began to fall, melting as it fell. At seven o'clock the wind veered due east and blew strong and cold; at nine-thirty the stars flamed in a steel sty and the boys were out on the fcpzen sidewalks with sleds; at midnight foViss who were still up took a little sugar in theirs and agreed that it was a cold night PERSONAL. Lieut Cotton was in the city yes terday. W. T. Chutter returned from For est Grove and Portland on the Tele phone yesterday.

THE S1TUA- There has been a little more activi ty among the twino men and packers' agents in this city, who mako a busi ness of forwarding fishermen's sup plies, and fitting out canneries for a season's run, and there is no diffi culty in obtaining liberal advances on a contingent interest in tho pack, and on the river those who have already begun to knit nets, and repair old seine, keep full forces busy all the time, showing quite plainly that there have been no unreasonable antici pations of a largo pack in 18SG. It is a very unusual circumstance, and one which has already caused some feeling of uneasiness among the more conservative canners. It has been a time-honored custom to predict light runs and small packs, but this year, whenever an opinion is ventured, it is expressed quite forcibly, and to the effect that the salmon pack for the season of 1886 will be the largest ever male on the coast In some quarters there is a disposi tion to create a scare on the very promising outlook for the season. It is asked with some considerable plausibility that if we have had full packs in seasons when surrounding conditions all indicated short supplies of material, aud predictions of alight output have been general, what will the pack be when the canners them selves admit the most encouraging prospect the industry has known in a number of years? This is the class of malcontents which predicts an enormous pack in 18SG. Their posi tion is not sustained by the points attempted to be made in the argu ment The more hopeful ask, with good reason, if the predictions have uniformly proved unreliable is it not time to reject tho valueless prompt iugs of the Columbia rivar canners, and to draw logical conclusious from existing conditions which must re main operative through the coming season. It would seem that a time has been reached in the affairs of the packing industry of the Pacific coast, when a change to careful business like management of cauuery opera tions has become an imperative neces sity. We look for a large pack, not an enormous output, not even a bnlk of goods which is not to be easily handled iii 18SG-7. It is true that the world's stock of salmon will be lighter than ever before on the opening of tho coming season, and that every en couragement to unusual activity will be held out by those who hope to reap the larger portion of the profits of such a season &s is presaged by present conditions. Bnt we look for a failure of all predictions this sea son. Juany muuences are at work which may prevent oven a full pack. In the first place it is by no means certain that the fishermen have not already reached some unfounded con clusion as to the probable profits of the next season's work, and that, with exaggerated ideas of the success of the canners during the year just end ed, they may demand the fancy prices paid in former years for the selected material, which made up the early packs. Another consideration, and one which will prove seriously significant before the end of tho season, if it does not upset everybody's calcula tions before the season is fairly opened, is the Chinese question. It has not been generally known that a large number of Chinese find employ ment among the Columbia river can neries, but feeling on the Chinese question has run so high latterly that the "anti coolie'' movement has startled the Chinese in the crannies and corners of the coast most remote from the center of the agitation, and even shonld the canners be disposed to unite for the protection of their forcss, it will be found a very difficult matter to detain the Chinese when they have once decided to seek a po sition of greater safety in San Fran cisco, which ha3 become the rallying point for the Chinese since the open ing of this last crusade.

Editor Asterian: To us of tho Nehalem valley The Weekly Astorian of the 9th inst. brought the darkest news that it has ever been our ill fortune to receive. Wo read that the county court had divided our road district. This is the worst blow to the prosperity of this valley it has received since its settlement by white men. We had jnst begun to think last summer that there was some chance of getting a wagon road, but now all hope of get ting a road is gone, unless something can be done to unite the people again on this question. As for the military road being a wagon road, it can not be and never will be, and no person who has travelled that road expects ever to see it made a wagon road. The new district takes 21 men from the Fishhawk road and transfers them to the military road when there are only 13 living in this settlement that are in favor of the military road. There are 31 men in District No. 16; we have here 21 men against the 13 who favor the military read: a msjor ity of 8 which is enough to show that there was no call for a division of the district which was accomplished by a few individuals who don't want any road. There are 21 men taken in District No. 16 who say they will not be forced to work on the military road where there can never be even a de cent pack trail. I think it is an im position on people who have been working in good faith for years on the Fishhawk road to be taken off by a few men who won't work any road, and expected to keep open a pack trail where men have had to crawl through brush and logs to get through. We can't stand this and we won't stand it. The Fishhawk road accommodates all, and we think if the county does its duty in bridg ing one road it will do well. Mishawaka Settler. Hard at Work.

Among the many stories Lincoln used to relate was the follewing: "Trudging along a lonely road one morning on my way to the county seat, Judge overtook me with his wagon and invited me to n seat. "We had not gone far before the wagon began to wobble. Said I, 'Judge, I think your coachman has taken a drop too much.' "Putting his head out of the win dow, the judge sheuted: 'Why, you infernal scoundrel, you are drunk I' "Turning round with great gravity, the coachman said: 'Be dad! but that's the firs' rightful s'cision your Honor's giy'n 'n twel' mont 1 ' " If people knew the facts they would be surprised to learn how many peo pie reel in the streets who never "drink a drop." They are the victims of sleeplessness, of drowsy days, of apoplectic tendencies, whose blood is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they will reel no more they will drop dead, just because they haven't the moral courage to defy useless professional attendance, and by use of the wonderful War ner's Safe Cure neutralize the uric acid in the system and thus get rid of the "drunkenness in the blood." American Rural Home. SINGULAR; ISN'T IT? It i3 known that two people do not see the same thing alike, and conse quently they describe it differently. They do not hear the same statement alike and they always repeat it with variations. Of all witnesses the eye is the least trustworthy. It appears to be the most subjeot to delusions. There is a reason for this. No two persons have eyes alike. The two eyes in one head are seldom alike; if tUey match in color they are different in form, different in focus. Not one eye in 10,000,000 is in a normal, per fect condition. The focus is either behind the retina or in front of it, and the eye is either near sighted or far sighted. What can be expected of such an imperfect organ in the way of correct observation? It appears to be still worse with the ear. It is at best a crooked organ, and nearly everything that passes through it gets a twist. And these two defective maohines are allied with probably the most deceitful little member that ever was the tongue. The effort of tho tongue to put into sound and speech the so-called im pressions obtained through the com plicated mechanism of the eye and the ear is a ludicrous failure. Any one who is familiar with a court of justice or neighborhood talk knows that. A Life Sarins: Present. Mr. M. E.
