p ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY lANTAUY 27. 1SJC Potatoes are selling for 39 cents a bushel in Seattle. Three papers iu The Astokian's post office box last night Well three is better than none. From all parts o the northwest come ciplaints regarding the ineffi ciency the mail service. 1L A. Wright, of. this cit' yester day sold a registered Jersey calf to Juo. Peterson, of Ilwaco for $100. At 1:30 to-morrow afternoon E. C. Holden will sell at auction the wrecked schooner Carrie li. lake, the hull, furniture and tackle, as she lies. "If you use a burner like this on your lamp, you will save half of the kerosene." The lady said she would take two, so she would not need any kerosene at all. The Welcome says that John M. Gearin, of Portland, is the only Dem ocrat that can be nominated in this state for congress and stand any show of winning next June. The Woman's Belief Corps will go to Portland to-day, to be present at the grand encampment meeting of the G. A. E., which meets in Portland to-morrow and Friday. A man was seen yesterday who had seen another man who had heard of some one who said that he knew a man who, it was reported, had caught some smelt the day before. Portland's city tax levy for '86 is ten mills, which will bring iu $135. 000. The city expects to spend S50, 000 on the fire department, $29,000 on street cleaning and sprinkling, and $20,000 on lights. The Welcome says the Oreyonian is clearing $25,000. Well, it deserves it for it is a credit to the city where it is published. But, Mr. Welcome, how do you figure that $25,000 is "one per cent" of $250,000. The Idaho was at Victoria yes terday morning. Capt. Carroll is reported "sick," and the Idaho has been on the rocks twice since leav ing Nanaimo. besides demolishing the wharf at Ft Wrangel. The heavy snow and ram of last week was a good thing for the dwellers on Lewis and Clarke's, as it enabled them to get out several hun dred thousand feet of spruce logs that have been there awaiting move ment for a year. The signal service storm flag flew yesterday afternoon. Sergeant Grif fin called for some poetry and the machine was at once oiled and set in motion, but somehow it wouldn't work owing to the dampness, which ap pears to affect the cogs. "Alice Harrison in hot water'' will be at Koss' opera house on Feb. 4th. The troupe is a splendid one and will give a first class entertainment. The versatile C. B. Bishop, with his com edy troupe, is expected to appear at the opera house next Saturday and Sunday evenings. Word has been received of the death of Mrs. Laura Hausen, at Berk ley, Cala., on the 23rd iust. The deceased was well known in Clatsop county, was married to II. J. Hansen a little over a year ago and moved to California last fall. She leaves her husband and infaut child to mourn her loss. Cashing Post Band go to Portland this morning to furnish music for the grand encampment of the various G. A. R. posts of the state at that city. The band is commended to the conr teous consideration of the Portland brethren. The organization is com posed of young men of ability and musical talent. The Oregon board pilot commis sioners were in session on Monday and yesterday. Objections being made to their proceedings they have been cited to -appear before Judge Taylor to-day to show cause why they should not be proceeded against for con tempt in alleged refusal to obey an injunction issued from the circuit court at the instance of Nolaud Sc Dorris, attorneys for H. A. Snow. The senate committee on public buildings has decided to report favor ably a bill by Senator Mitchell, to appropriate SG0,000 for the construc tion of a lighthouse at Cape Mears, Tillamook bay. Now with a light house at Gray's harbor, this vicinity would be given much needed facili ties to commerce in the matter of a well lighted coast, which iu winter is naturally enshrouded in darkness sixteen honrs out of the twenty-four. The idea advanced in the council last evening of changing the names of the streets is a good one and could with great propriety be acted on. The present uncouth names of many of our streets in the minds of many are a positive detriment to our growth and standing as a city, and to change the names at least of some of the streets running east and west would be in order. The Astokian's columns are open for comment on this as on all other public questions. The attention of the court was yes terday taken up by the case of Luni Hi, on appeal from the police court. Our courts are used by those yellow devils for purposes of private re venge and tax payers have to pay for the getting even" of one Chinese company with another. A good way tovo would be to let them kill each otseAwnenever they start in, and in the meantime "pull" the keepers of the gambling game over which the most of these rows seem to start. This may not be law, but it would put a stop to a good deal of funny business. Fine stock of Blankbooks of nil de scriptions just received at Adler's Book Store, which will be sold at eastern prices.

WASHINGTON' NOTES. Washington, D. C, Jan. 2G. Con gressman Henley, of California, and Senator Dolph, of Oregon, both think that it will be several mouths before Tiunin's nomination will be acted on, as there are a great many papers to be examined. Representative Woodburn, of Ne vada, has introduced a resolution asking Secretary Manning why the United States miut at Carson was closed. There was gold and silver bullion enough on hand to keep it running for six months. The president to-day said he would appoint Judge Bradford as register of the San Francisco land office. Representatative Henley has intro duced a resolution asking for an in vestigation into the affairs of the Alaska Commercial company, in which Senator J. F. Miller is promi nently interested. A BIG JOB. New York, Jan. 2C The Tribune exposes a big job. It says there has been two and a-half million dollars appropriated for a bridge across the Haarlem river simply to advance the value of property owned by a few millionaires at "the expense of the tax payers, and claims that the bridge is unnecessary. A BIG FIRE, Philadelphia. Jan. 26. A fire broke out at 130 this morning in the Morris building on Arch street which was full of printing offices and busi ness places. After running through iuis it spreaa to me or. oioua uotei which was full of guests, all of whom escaped. The loss is estimated at S750.000. in statd Q0O. Columbus. Ohio, Jan. 26. There is no change in the legislative situa tion. Both Democrats and Republi cans are holding caucuses. I'KKSOXAL. Mr. X. N. Steeve3 came down from Portland yesterday, on legal busi ness. H. B. Cameron returned from Port laud yesterday, where he had been attending the entertainment by the Caledonian club iu honor of the 127th anniversary of the birthday of Robert Burns. In an account of the proceedings, yesterday's Oreyonian says: "The concertiua selections by Mr. H. B. Cameron, who volunteered his services and came up from Asto ria for the express purpose, and his imitation of the bagpipes, were cap ital." TIIK ('. I'. It. It. IN imil'ISH COLUMBIA. The government contract will be handed over to the syndicate in the spring in time to enable the ballast ing of the line east of Savon, so that traffic may be opened by the 1st of June. The Coal Harbor extension from Port Moody will be proceeded with as soon as contracts can be let, and it is anticipated that it will bo built and in working order Ly the 15th of Jnly. The ronnd houses, machine shops, station and other terminal buildings will not be got under, way until some time iu April. The Do minion government have abandoned the intention of building terminal facilities at Port Moody, and arrange ments are consummated to proceed with their erection at the Coal Harbor terminus. They will necessarily be of an extensive nature, as the princi pal repair shops of the whole division will be located at this point. Ar rangements are being made for the building of 1,000 feet of steamship wharfage at Coal Harbor, and piles are now being got out for this pur pose. English bay will not at present be utilized for wharfage, butjthe com pauy's property at this point will bo reserved for future developments. The New Westminster branch will be constructed simultaneously with the Coal Harbor extension, providing arrangements are complete for hand ing over the $50,000 bonus, and con nection made at about the same time as with the former point. The service with the east will be made to meet traffic requirements, but will probably commence with two trains per day. Tourist travel over the new route will undoubtedly be very large, and especial efforts win be made to make the line attractive. The cars will be of the same palatial character as those run in the east, while cars specially constructed for viewing the magnificent scenery will be put on through the mountains. The development of the mining re-. sources of the country will create a large passenger and freight traffic. As soon as the sawmills are in oper ation in the timber districts east of Eagle Pass, lumber trains will start to supply the demand for building material in the treeless prairieB. The company contemplate putting on a line of fast steamers between Coal Harbor and Victoria so soon as trade would warrant it; but for the present, arrangements would be made with the existing local company. It was also their intention to place on a line of fast steamers to Japan to fur ther trade with the Asiatics, but when this would .be done has not as. yet been decided.

Council men Bergman, Sherman, Cleveland, Sovey, Gratke and Carruthers. In the absence of Mayor Trnlliuger, A. A. Cleveland, president of the coun cil occupied the chair; in attendance A. M. Twombly, chief of police, T. S. Jewett, auditor and clerk. Minutes of last meeting read and approved. A petition from B. Gibson for a re tail liquor license was read and granted. A communication from Dr. W. D. Baker withdrawing his name as nom inee for the position of health officer, was read. On motion the communi cation was accepted. The committee to whom was re ferred the matter of lighting the streets, made the following repert: To the Honorable Mayor and Com mon Ceuncil: Gentlemen: We, your committee to whom was referred the contract of lighting of the streets, recommend that as far as gas mains are laid the contract be awarded to the gas com pany, and the coal on lamps be award ed to James Feely, said contract to begin ou the first of the month. O. Sovey. ) R. Carruthers. -Committee P. P. Chas. Gratke. ) Inquiry elicited the fact that the parties to whom the contract was awarded, were satisfied, and the re port of the committee was adopted. The street superintendent's report for December was adopted. An ordinance granting a licence to B. Gibson to sell wine, malt and spirituous liquors, was read first and second times and passed under sus pension of the rules. An ordinance making appropria tion out of police fund in amount of $136.46 iu favor of J. G. Hustler was read first and second times and passed under suspension of the rules. The following claims were ordered paid. J. F. Hallorau & Co., $151.15; Jas. Gardner $3; sundry persons, S10.20. The following claims were referred: Griffin & Reed, S9.30; I. S. Gragg & Co., $37.50; F. Sherman, S37.50. Coucilman Gratke called the atten tion of the council to the matter of having the names of the streets paint ed on the street lamps. Councilman Sovey favored the proposition, but suggested that the names of thestreets themselves be changed. After some further discussion it was decided to refer the matter to the committee on streets and public ways, with instruc tions to report at. the uext meeting. On motion the committee ou public property was instructed to notify the Astoria Gas Light company aud Jas. Feeley that the contract for lighting the streets was awarded to them, the former to light the lamps with gas as as far as their mains extended, the latter to light the outside lamps with oil. On motion council adjourned. CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS. January 26. Taylor, J. W. W. Parker vs. H. Jones, et al.; judgment by default. State vs. Carh Mattius; jury in structed to find for defendant.

A tender of $250 in full of all demands was made by the company, which will be re jected by the goverameut. The mat ter will now probably have to be adjudicated by the courts, aud if Uncle Samuel gets all he wants he will be iuluck. Oreyonian, 2d. Wide Awake Druggists. Messrs. W. K.

Read twice, referred to the Select Committeo on Americau Shipbuild ing and ordered to be printed. Mr. Diuglcy introduced the follow ing bill: A IJIIjXi KKIiVTIN'O TO PIIiOTAOK Ue it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the Unit ed States of America in congress as sembled, That the local inspectors mentioned in section forty-four hun dred aud forty-two of the revised statutes may, upon application, exam ine the master or mate of any regis tered or licensed sailing vessel of the United States not engaged in the business of earning passengers, and if satisfied, from personal examina tion of the applicant and proof which he offers, thajt he possesses the requi site knowledge, experience and skill, they shall grant such master or mate a license for the term of two years to pilot such vessel, or any other sailing vessel belonging to the same owners, in such port, harbors, or wa ters within the limits of such inspec tion district as may be prescribed in his license, with the same liability to suspension or revocation as licenses given to pilots of any steam vessel under the laws of the United States; and no such sailing vessel piloted into or out of auy port of the United States by any such master or mate so licensed shall be holden or obliged to take any other pilot in auy such port, or be compelled to pay any charges or fees to any pilots for pilotage ser vices offered and declined under the pilotage laws or regulations of any state. Sec. 2. That no sailing vessel tak ing and having the aid or towage of a steam vessel into or out of any port of the United States, when such steam vessel is in command of a li censed pilot for such port uuder the laws of the United States, shall be obliged to take any other pilot in any such port, or, declining the offer or tender of pilotage services in snch port of auy pilot appointed uuder the laws or regulations of any state, be compelled to pay any fee or charges to such state pilot. Sec. 3. That so much of the la-t clause of section four huudred and forty-four of the revised statutes as is inconsistent with this act is hereby repealed. AXOTHEK OF THE SAME KTKD. Iii the senate, on the 11th, six days after the Dingley bill was introduced in the house, Senator Frye, also uf Maine, introduced senate bill No. 1,003, which provides that after July 1. 1886, "no sailing vessel of the United States engaged in the coast wise trade shall be obliged to fake a pilot in goiug into or out of any port of the United States, or be compelled to pay for pilotage services tendered but. not. accepted.'' It also provsdes'fhat the local inspectors at any port may examine the master or mate of any United States vessel engaged in the foreign trade, and if satisfied thai the applicant possesses the requisite knowledge, experience and skill, shall graut him a license to pilot the vessel in such waters within the limits of; the inspection district as may be pre scribed in his license.

The writer of this paper has an unri valed collection of these exotics, and has devoted much careful study to their growth and habits, watched them in rejwse, and felt the passionate throb of their mad pulses when the gentle but firm pressure of a too con tiguous boot stirred all their dormant energies to action; cooled their fe vered brows with lemon juice and cold cream, and with a fond and dot ing parent's tender care have nigh tlv wrapped their parched and pain racked frames in the soothing folds of an oleaginous rag; bound eelskin and tobacco on the soft variety, and have rasped down those of the hard shelled persuasion with a rat-tail file ; have patiently watched the mi croscopic germ in the cuticle, that to the inexperienced eye gave no prom ise of its future greatness, until it blossomed into a mighty bunion ca pable of exciting more remorse and Scriptural language than an outdoor revival meeting. In short, there is no phase of corn life with which I am not as familiar as with the tenets of the Emersonian school of philos ophy. It is not, however, the purpose of this brief article to enter into a lengtlvy disquisition upon the birth or origin of .the corn, or the relation it bears to modern civilization. In our forthcoming work entitled "The Bunion as a Means of Grace" these questions are fully and fearlessly discussed. The present purpose is merely to impart a few words of wis dom that will awaken interest and curiosity and create a desire to be come better acquainted with the sub ject in hand, or, more properly speaking, on foot. Did you ever reflect that the corn is an index of refinement and enlight enment? You may seek for it in vain in the miserable habitations of the native of Terra del Fuego or the bushmen of Australia, but in the gilded homes of statesmen and men of letters you will find them by the score. Gaze upon the generous feet of the King of the Cannibal Islands, who never had a corn in his life un less it was appended to a roasted missionary and then search the em bossed pedal extremities of Mr. Gladstone, or Lord Tennyson, or Lily Langtry, or the writer of this article, and you will realize that it is not the shriek of the locomotive,or the gaudy uniform of the somnolent telegraph messenger, but the humble and un assuming corn that speaks loudest of the onward strides of civilization. If you are not convinced look backward into the dim past into the ages when had even the tongue of proph ecy lisped of the printing press, the steam engine or the dude, its words would have been scouted as the rav ings of a disordered brain. Historv records that Cleopatra had freckles, but where upon its pages will you find a syllable to indicate that any of the ancients had corns? Can it bo supposed for a moment that a writer who would take pains to describe a paltry assortment of cuticular polka dotswould, had they then existed, have omitted to mention those ana tomic oriels that now fill the gaiters of the human race so full of vain regrets? Certainly not. It is clear that only for a few centuries have even the civilized nations of the globe known the chastening influ ences of the contumacious corn.
